RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Mon. 5 Jan. 2026

Compiled Mon. 5 Jan. 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Sun. 4 Jan. 1016 QFS RV/GCR Intel Update (Rumors)

High-level sources deep in the Alliance confirm: the Global Currency Reset has been (allegedly) fully activated, and the Revaluation is rolling out across the planet faster than the Deepstate could scramble their jets!

As of today, redemption centers were(allegedly)  on full Red Alert, staffed and ready for Tier 4B notifications to blast out any hour now.

Bonds were (allegedly) being hydrated with massive liquidity, historic bonds (allegedly) paid out in full on the Quantum Financial System – no more fiat chains (allegedly) holding us back!

Iraq has officially (allegedly) revalued the Dinar overnight, with screen rates skyrocketing past expectations, paving the way for Vietnam Dong, Zim, and all revaluing currencies to follow suit immediately.

The greatest wealth transfer in human history is(allegedly)  underway, ripping trillions from the cabal’s blood-soaked vaults and placing it directly into the hands of We the People.

Universal debt jubilee has (allegedly) kicked in – mortgages, credit cards, student loans vanishing as the QFS (allegedly) wipes the slate clean for humanity’s liberation.

Behind the scenes, White Hats have(allegedly)  neutralized remaining Deepstate holdouts; thousands more arrests executed silently this week alone, clearing the path for full NESARA/GESARA announcement any day.

Trump and the military Alliance are(allegedly)  in total command – the storm has arrived, and victory is ours!

Stay vigilant, pray without ceasing, and prepare your humanitarian projects because your 800# appointments are imminent. This isn’t rumor – it’s(allegedly)  happening RIGHT NOW. The cabal is finished, their Great Reset (allegedly) crushed under our God-given reset. Freedom rings louder than ever! Hold the line, family – we’re crossing the finish line together. The golden age dawns today!

God bless America, God bless the Alliance, and God bless every patriot standing strong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quantum Financial System: THE QFS PROTOCOL AND TRUE OWNERSHIP …QFS on Telegram

Under the Quantum Financial System, every account (allegedly) exists outside the reach of banks, intermediaries, and political manipulation.

Ownership is absolute. Funds cannot be frozen, seized, or diluted.

Quantum encryption secures each wallet at the individual level, making corruption (allegedly) mathematically impossible.

The legacy banking system does not collapse loudly. It simply becomes irrelevant. THE ASSET BACKED ECONOMY EMERGES

Currencies are(allegedly)  realigning with tangible value such as gold, commodities, and productive output. Fiat systems built on debt expansion are(allegedly)  being reconciled into asset backed formats, restoring balance and trust. Inflation, artificial scarcity, and speculative distortions lose their power when money is once again anchored to reality. Trade becomes fair. Valuation becomes honest.

WHAT COMES NEXT

Illegitimate debt will be (allegedly) dissolved under GESARA reforms.

QFS wallets will (allegedly) unlock through biometric authentication, restoring direct access to personal wealth.

Global currency values will (allegedly) adjust to reflect true national resources and productivity.

Central banks will be (allegedly) phased out as sovereign treasuries reclaim issuance authority.

Legacy systems like SWIFT and coercive taxation structures will be (allegedly) rendered obsolete.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE DAWN OF A NEW GOLDEN AGE

As suppressed capital and resources are released, humanitarian projects, innovation, and infrastructure expansion accelerate worldwide. Education improves. Communities rebuild. Individuals regain freedom of choice and economic mobility. This is not redistribution through force, but restoration through correction.

This is not merely a financial reform. It is a civilization upgrade.

Jeff   Iraq is transitioning to going international.  The movements they're making right now are not sensitive to the rate changing ...but very soon the rate change sensitive matters will be implemented requiring the rate to change...The rate is probably not going to change until after the government has been formed...They're given 90 days which would theoretically per the constitution give them until around March 14th.  Will it take that long?  

Frank26   You can't show the lower notes before you show the exchange rate.  

Frank26  Does [Venezuela's situation] affect our monetary reform with the Iraqi dinar?  Not directly but I'm not going to say that it's not tangible.  It is.  Why?  What do we seek for the monetary reform?  ...Security and stability.  We got it in Iraq.  But we also need it globally, especially those that are dealing with oil...In my strong opinion the people of Iraq...Iran... Venezuela... Columbia...Cuba and many other countries are praying for the United States of America to come and help them...The countries around the world have been given hope...It seems to me that Iran which is the problem for security and stability in Iraq is going to see the same thing...

SILVER ALERT! The Massive 140% Silver Gains in 2025 Will be DWARFED by 2026 Silver Gains!

(Bix Weir) 1-4-2025

Last year was a GREAT year for SILVER but it didn't fix ANY of the problems that currently face the silver market.

For one...the World is finding out that there is much less silver available for investors and industrial users than was claimed by the Silver Institute & CPM Group! This alone will send silver to massive new highs in 2026 but that's not all.

The COMEX Silver short is STILL over 750M ounces with no resolution in sight!

New 2026 EV Battery technologies use 20X the amount of silver that the old battery tech used and price is NOT the issue in a $50K 2026 Electric Vehicle!

The 2050 Green Energy Mandates can only be achieved by implementing Industrial Solar Power Stations all around the world...and Governments have agreed to print the fiat money to pay for it!

My conclusion...load up on physical because 2026 Silver gains will be like 2025 on STEROIDS!

“Tidbits From TNT” Monday 1-5-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  Atrushi: The oil and gas law must be passed as soon as possible.

The second deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Farhad Atrushi, indicated that so far more than 40 people have nominated themselves for the position of president of the republic, but the two parties, the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union, do not have a candidate. He stressed that in order to solve the financial problems and implement federalism, the oil and gas law must be passed as soon as possible. At the same time, regarding the parliamentary committees, he said: The committees are formed temporarily.

On Sunday, January 4, 2026, during his participation in the "Today's Talk" program on Kurdistan24, Atroushi said: In Iraq, the parliament is the center of the political process and the center for making important decisions, so maintaining the position of Deputy Speaker of Parliament for the Kurds is very important.

He added: “Today the new parliament held its first session, during which I submitted a proposal that the parliament’s presidency should have special legislative authority for the next four years, in order to have clarity in the implementation of laws and the identification of important laws. They also welcomed the proposal.” He also said: “In the next session, we will decide on the general outlines of the parliament’s policy and form a special committee.”

He continued: “The oil and gas law must be issued in order to implement fiscal federalism, because a large part of Iraq’s revenues are provided through oil and gas, and without implementing the law and the constitution, no problem will ever be solved, and the constitution must be the arbiter.”

He added, "So far, more than 40 people have nominated themselves for the presidency, and we expect that number to increase tomorrow, but neither of the two main parties has yet put forward a candidate for the position." He also stressed that the Kurds must be united on the issue of the presidency and have a single position.

He went on to say: "Tomorrow we will form a committee to lay some foundations and monitor the distribution of parliamentary committees," and said: The distribution of parliamentary committees should be temporary only to carry out the work of parliament until the new government is formed. link

************

Tishwash: The second session of the Iraqi parliament has been postponed until the seventh of this month.

The second deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Farhad Atrushi, announced in a statement to Kurdistan24 on Saturday, January 3, 2026, that the second session of the Iraqi parliament has been postponed to January 7, 2026.

Previously, the session was scheduled to be held on Monday the 5th of the month. This date coincided with the end of the nomination period for the position of President of the Republic of Iraq.

In meetings held on December 29 and 30, 2025, the Iraqi Parliament elected its new leadership for the sixth legislative session. The process concluded with the election of Hebat al-Halbousi as Speaker of Parliament, Adnan Faihan as First Deputy Speaker, and Farhad Atrushi as Second Deputy Speaker.

According to Article 72 of the Constitution, after the election of the Iraqi Parliament's leadership, Parliament has 30 days to elect a new President of the Republic. Following his election, the new President tasks the nominee of the largest parliamentary bloc, which, according to political convention, is the Shia bloc, with forming the new federal government.

This position, which according to political custom has become the prerogative of the Kurds, represents the sovereignty of the country and safeguards the constitution and the territorial integrity of Iraq. The presidential term is four years and may only be renewed once.  

This announcement was preceded by an initiative from President Masoud Barzani, in which he called on the Kurdish forces to unite and avoid fragmentation in order to guarantee the Kurds' rights to this entitlement.  link

Tishwash: US-based Chevron visits Sudan and plans to maximize oil revenues

Expanding refining and processing capacities

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani met on Sunday (January 4, 2026) with Joe Kuo, Vice President of the American energy company Chevron. The two sides discussed steps to remove obstacles and adapt contracts to align with the government’s development goals in order to maximize oil production returns and expand refining and processing capabilities.

The Sudanese office stated in a statement, a copy of which was received by 964 Network, that “the Prime Minister received the Vice President of the American energy company Chevron, Joe Cook, and the meeting witnessed discussions on the company’s work and the opportunities for cooperation available in the oil and energy sectors with the Ministry of Oil, and ways to enhance investments and create an attractive environment.”

According to the statement, the meeting included an exchange of views on the best steps to remove obstacles and adapt contracts to align with the government's development goals in order to maximize oil production returns and expand refining and processing capacities.

According to the statement, Al-Sudani directed that discussions continue between the Ministry of Oil and the company in order to find the best investment opportunities for the national oil sector and to optimize the investment of oil wealth.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Venezuela: Law, Power, and the Price of Selective Justice

Maduro’s removal raises questions about sovereignty, precedent, and global order

Overview

• The reported capture of President Nicolás Maduro marks a dramatic escalation in U.S.–Venezuela relations

• Washington frames the action as law enforcement, while critics warn it resembles unilateral intervention

• The move reopens long-standing debates over international law, sovereignty, and selective accountability

Key Developments

• Maduro was reportedly removed from Venezuela following U.S.-led action justified by criminal indictments

• Legal experts argue the operation blurs the line between extradition, enforcement, and coercive regime change

• The situation revives regional memories of Cold War-era interventions across Latin America

• Questions are emerging over who controls Venezuela’s transition, institutions, and energy assets

• Analysts warn that leadership removal without a domestic transition framework risks prolonged instability

Why It Matters

The situation unfolding in Venezuela goes far beyond the fate of one leader. It challenges the credibility of international law itself. When legal norms appear to be applied selectively—strictly enforced against adversaries while ignored by powerful states—the rules-based system weakens. For Latin America, where external intervention has historically destabilized institutions, the precedent raises alarms about sovereignty, legitimacy, and long-term governance.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, Venezuela’s unfolding situation is a real-time stress test of sovereign risk, rule consistency, and reserve credibility. When a sitting head of state is removed through external legal action, it signals that political power can override monetary and legal norms, increasing uncertainty for any currency tied to geopolitically exposed nations.

Currency markets price trust and predictability above all else. Selective enforcement of international law undermines that trust, encouraging central banks and large holders to diversify away from currencies linked to interventionist policy. This accelerates demand for hard assets, alternative settlement mechanisms, and non-Western trade corridors, particularly among emerging markets watching the precedent closely.

Venezuela also highlights how energy assets and currency stability are increasingly intertwined. Sudden leadership change without a clear domestic transition framework raises the risk of asset seizures, contract renegotiations, and payment disruptions—factors that directly impact FX reserves, petrodollar flows, and long-term valuation models.

In short, this is not just a regional political shock. It reinforces why foreign currency holders globally are reassessing counterparty risk, legal neutrality, and the durability of the existing reserve system—key drivers behind the accelerating shift toward a multipolar monetary order.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Selective Law Undermines Global Trust

• When enforcement depends on power rather than consistency, confidence in global systems erodes, accelerating fragmentation away from Western-led frameworks.

• Pillar: Energy Security Over Governance  

• Rapid moves toward securing Venezuela’s oil assets risk prioritizing extraction over institutional rebuilding, reinforcing the global shift toward resource-driven geopolitics.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

China Intensifies Cyberattacks on Taiwan
Hybrid warfare escalates as digital pressure targets critical systems

Overview

• Chinese cyberattacks on Taiwan surged in 2025, averaging 2.63 million incidents per day, according to Taiwan’s National Security Bureau

• The attacks reflect a 6% increase year-over-year and are more than double 2023 levels

• Critical infrastructure sectors — including hospitals, emergency services, banks, energy grids, and telecommunications — were repeatedly targeted

• Cyber activity often coincided with Chinese military drills, signaling coordinated pressure tactics

Key Developments

• Taiwan’s National Security Bureau reports persistent, high-volume cyber intrusions across government and civilian networks

• Healthcare systems and emergency services were targeted, raising public safety and confidence concerns

• Banking, energy, and telecommunications networks faced repeated disruption attempts

• Science parks and semiconductor firms were singled out, heightening global supply-chain risk

• Taipei characterizes the campaign as “hybrid warfare”, combining cyber operations, military pressure, and disinformation

Why It Matters

The escalation underscores how cyberwarfare has become a frontline instrument in cross-strait tensions. By targeting essential services and daily life, Beijing signals its ability to disrupt Taiwan without conventional conflict, testing resilience while maintaining strategic ambiguity.

Taiwan’s role as a cornerstone of global semiconductor supply chains means the consequences extend far beyond the region. Even limited disruption introduces systemic risk to technology markets, defense systems, and global economic stability, particularly amid intensifying U.S.–China rivalry.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, sustained cyber pressure on Taiwan represents a non-kinetic threat to monetary stability. Attacks on banks, payment systems, energy grids, and telecommunications undermine confidence in settlement continuity, trade execution, and reserve reliability.

Taiwan anchors high-value global manufacturing and trade flows, many settled in major reserve currencies. Persistent cyber risk forces markets to price in transaction delays, data integrity concerns, and operational disruptions, which can ripple through FX markets and reserve allocation strategies.

More broadly, this escalation reinforces why central banks, sovereign funds, and institutional holders are reassessing currency concentration and counterparty exposure. As cyberwarfare becomes normalized, currencies linked to digitally intensive economies face new vulnerability premiums, accelerating diversification toward hard assets, regional settlement systems, and alternative payment rails.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Cyber Pressure as Financial Leverage

• The use of cyberattacks to disrupt infrastructure highlights how digital warfare is now a tool of economic and financial coercion, influencing markets without open conflict.

• Pillar: Supply Chains as Strategic Battlegrounds

• Targeting Taiwan’s technology ecosystem reinforces the shift toward securitizing trade, restructuring supply chains, and reducing single-point dependencies in the global system.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 1-5-26

A Financial Expert Calls For Stricter Oversight Of Banks In Iraq.
 
Information / Baghdad... On Wednesday, financial and banking expert Abdul Aziz Hassoun called on the   Central Bank of Iraq to take   strict measures and    oversight    to regulate the work of banks, in order    to ensure the protection of citizens' rights, noting that the banking system in Iraq operates within an unstable environment   that has prevented it from performing its normal functions.

Hassoun told Al-Maalomah News Agency that "the security, economic and social conditions   are major factors for instability in the banking sector,      which negatively affects citizens' confidence and      pushes them to refrain from depositing,     especially in government banks,    which leads to a   shortage of cash liquidity and   disrupts economic activities in the country." 

He added that "a large number of banks have begun to engage in activities   that do not fall under the category of real banking,   exploiting the state of turmoil to achieve private gains      at the expense of the banking policy set by the Central Bank." 

He explained that "the Central Bank is required today to   implement strict procedures and   activate serious oversight of banks' operations, with the aim of      securing citizens' rights and   strengthening confidence in the banking system," noting that "directing financial revenues solely towards imports is one of the main reasons for the decline and stagnation of banking performance in Iraq."  https://almaalomah.me/news/118928/economy/خبير-مالي-يدعو-إلى-رقابة-مشددة-على-المصارف-في-العراق    

Economic: The Shift Towards An Electronic Payment System Provides The State With Financial Liquidity.
 
Information/Baghdad...  Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim found that the shift in transactions within state departments   to an electronic system for      paying fees and      collecting taxes         will provide the state with significant liquidity.  Abdul Karim told Al-Maalomah,  “Iraq is still young in its transition towards electronic payment systems, while European countries and even neighboring countries have preceded Iraq  by many years in the transition towards electronic payment.” 

He added that  "there is a lack of acceptance of the electronic system,as the people are not used to such systems,   despite their great benefit and the fact that   they protect citizens from financial theft and   ensure easy purchasing without the burden of carrying and protecting money." 
 
He explained that  "the primary goal of   transitioning to an electronic payment system and   expanding this experience across various government departments is to   ensure the availability of cash for the state, in addition to  guaranteeing that it does not bear additional burdens related to printing currency.
 
Therefore, it is a positive step, provided there is proper public awareness and acceptance of it in Iraq." (End of quote, 25)

Prevailing Economic System
 
Economic    Yasser Al-Mutawalli  We are addressing a very important topic,  resulting from the outputs of the liberal economic system supported by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, a system based on the theory of the trickle-down effect of growth.
 
This theory is based on stimulating investment, whether internal or external,
which results in growth.
 
Growth is defined as meeting a country’s needs for services and goods, and investment is what provides these needs.
 
This theory, adopted by the IMF and the World Bank,suggests that the process of stimulating investment is summarized in  tax exemptions on profits and wages, which encourages investors to increase production and generate profits, and thus create large and wide job opportunities, thereby  achieving sustainable growth and reaching its goals, which mean  achieving well-being and more services and goods    that meet the needs and desires of society.
 
This theory seems comfortable and satisfying when the fruits of growth fall on the citizen, but over time a group of economic experts discover that this theory cannot be applied as the  profits of companies grow as  institutions expand in size    to become monopolies… The question is how?
 
The goal of investing and producing companies is to generate profits, and this goal can be achieved in two different ways.
 
The first, and most important, is for these companies to expand their investments,  whether in factories or farms,  as net investments that contribute to growth and its fruits.
 
The second way is to reduce costs to achieve maximum profits by reducing production.
 
Large companies in this case become monopolistic through saving,   which means that surplus funds leave the income cycle, thus reducing wages.
 
This necessitates providing additional incentives to encourage them to invest domestically.
 
The second way has appealed to companies because of its ease,  thus obscuring the true purpose of growth.
 
But over time, and given the freedom of companies to move their money,   they began planning to invest outside the country in the space of globalization to obtain incentives to achieve more profits,  through the  thirst of those countries for foreign investments and  obtaining    cheap labor and   a market that accepts production,  which pushes them not to expand in domestic investments.
 
Herein lies the problem of the occurrence of people’s disturbances due to the  lack of job opportunities and high prices, and the  occurrence of stagflation and weak growth,  despite the incentives that companies obtained from tax exemptions on their   profits and other privileges within the framework of the  philosophy of supply-side economics.
 
This is the origin of the prevailing and globally promoted economic system, which makes addressing the causes of  declining growth and  rising unemployment    a path inextricably linked to advocating for the liberal growth model.

Therefore,  most developing countries resort to attracting foreign investment to capitalize on its potential to achieve growth that provides societal well-being by supplying the necessary goods and services and creating job opportunities.
 
Here, experts advise the importance of taking the necessary measures when working to attract foreign investments, to contribute to the targeted growth, provided that a balance is achieved between investment incentives such as exemptions on profits and the freedom of movement of company capital, by not allowing monopolies, in order to benefit from the theory of reaping the fruits of falling growth leaves.
 
This balance can be achieved through competitiveness, adopting a system of multiple companies for a single activity, and making the partnerships required to achieve this goal.      https://alsabaah.iq/125222-.html

Paul Gold Eagle: The Door is Opening for NESARA-GESARA

Paul Gold Eagle: The Door is Opening for NESARA-GESARA

1-4-2025

Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle

NESARA • GESARA — GET READY. IT’S HERE.

This is not another promise pushed into the future. It’s a transition point. A moment humanity has been pushed toward through pressure, exposure, and exhaustion of the old systems. What was built on debt, secrecy, and control has reached its limit.

NESARA and GESARA represent the correction, not chaos, but balance restored after decades of imbalance.

For years, people felt something was wrong even if they couldn’t name it. Work without freedom. Money without value. Rules without justice. That discomfort was awareness growing.

Now the structures that depended on silence are cracking, and new frameworks are quietly moving into place.

NESARA and GESARA are not about instant miracles or overnight noise. They are about ending financial slavery, restoring fair exchange, and returning dignity to everyday life.

Debt forgiveness, transparency, and asset-backed value are not rewards, they are necessities for a system that actually serves people instead of trapping them.

This is why resistance has been loud. This is why confusion has been constant. Old power never leaves politely. But delay does not mean denial. It means preparation. And preparation is nearly complete.

Getting ready now is not about panic buying or chasing rumors. It’s about mindset. About responsibility. About understanding that freedom comes with accountability. A reset without integrity solves nothing.

Stay calm. Stay grounded. Stay discerning.
What’s arriving doesn’t need belief to function, it needs people ready to live differently.

NESARA • GESARA
The door is opening.

UBS Shocking Warning, European Bank on the Verge of Collapse

UBS Shocking Warning, European Bank on the Verge of Collapse

Steven Van Metre:   1-4-2025Top of Form

A recent analysis by UBS has sent shockwaves through the financial world, revealing that Deutsche Bank, one of the globe’s largest banks, has a staggering 30% of its portfolio tied to high-risk, unregulated private credit loans.

This is a far cry from the 8% average seen in Europe’s other major banks, and it’s a red flag that can’t be ignored. As we edge closer to a potential global financial crisis, it’s essential to understand the warning signs and take proactive steps to protect and grow your wealth.

The situation is dire. A global manufacturing slowdown, unseen since the 2008 financial crisis, is wreaking havoc on key economies, including France, Germany, the UK, Canada, and the US.

As manufacturing demand contracts, companies are left with rising inventories financed by private credit, leading to increasing delinquencies. This, in turn, forces banks to tighten lending standards, creating a vicious cycle of defaults, layoffs, and economic downturn.

Deutsche Bank’s exposure to private credit loans is a ticking time bomb. With over 30% of its portfolio at risk, the bank’s fragility could have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. If Deutsche Bank were to fail, it could trigger a catastrophic collapse of the financial system, echoing the 2008 crisis.

While the impending crisis is unsettling, it also presents opportunities for savvy investors. Diversification is key.

It’s time to rethink your portfolio and shift away from tech and cyclical stocks into more defensive sectors like utilities and healthcare. These industries tend to be more resilient during economic downturns, providing a safer haven for your investments.

For high-risk tolerant investors, tactical short positions in big tech could be profitable as the AI bubble bursts. However, it’s crucial to exercise caution and avoid jumping into gold or silver prematurely.

 A more prudent approach would be to hold a significant portion of your portfolio in cash or liquid instruments like short-term treasuries, monitoring interest rate trends as rates are expected to fall amid the credit bust.

To navigate this treacherous landscape, you’ll need a reliable trading system that can capitalize on market moves before machine-driven buying or selling occurs. A well-designed trading system can provide you with daily optimized trade alerts, risk management tools, and market insights to make informed decisions.

The writing is on the wall: a global financial crisis is on the horizon, triggered by the fragility of some of the world’s largest banks, particularly Deutsche Bank.

While the situation is dire, it’s not without opportunities. By diversifying your portfolio, staying informed, and leveraging the right tools, you can weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side.

“Special Announcement” It is time to retire Bondlady's Corner !!!

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 1-4-26

“Special Announcement” It is time to retire Bondlady's Corner !!!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce it is time to retire Bondlady's Corner !!! Over the next several days this site will transition over to a "read only" site, meaning that any further comments or posts will stop. The archived posts will still be here.

What a ride this has been. We lost our beloved Bondlady on August 25th of 2016. She was the most dedicated person I knew and she was always here for us. I'd like to think that she would be proud that we kept her site running for nearly 10 years now.

None of this would have been possible without ALL of you, her dedicated members !! There have been over 12,000 registered members along the way and over 280,000 posts !!! So many of you have come and gone but some of you remain in my heart.

Too many to mention personally but a few stand out in my memory ...first and foremost BondLady, Miskebam, Shredd, Dogznova, Bubbies and Oggie, Dealerdean, crazydonk64,UNEEK, gaffi, Tobyboy, Mikey and a special thank you to IKEA (thanks Ike for being here). I am sure I have left out so many but please know that you are appreciated !

I have so many wonderful memories and I am sure you will agree. The "chat room" was a blast and I have missed that. I became a member of BLC on January 1st of 2012 and the first time I logged into the chatroom Bondlady said welcome "Timmy", my chat name was tlm724 but she thought it was "tim" and the name stuck ! From that moment on I was called Timmy.

I had the pleasure of helping Bondlady with many things but the most important thing that I did was facilitate the radio interview with Ambassador Paul Bremer. I had the distinct honor of meeting the Ambassador at his home in Vermont and help put together that historic interview. He was gracious and informative and spent several hours with me. I will include a picture of us at his home.

It truly has been my honor and privilege to be a member here at BLC. I still believe in our investment, it sure is taking a long time though 

All my best wishes to each and every one of you ... Timmy   Tlm724

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Markets Send Mixed Signals as 2026 Opens With Thin Liquidity

Equity optimism masks structural fragility beneath the surface

Overview

• Global equity markets opened 2026 with modest gains

• Precious metals and commodities continued to outperform

• Liquidity remains thin following year-end positioning

• Valuations remain elevated despite macro uncertainty

• Risk buffers across markets are increasingly compressed

Key Developments

• Major stock indices posted early gains, extending momentum from late 2025

• Precious metals advanced simultaneously, signaling hedging demand alongside equity exposure

• Trading volumes remain light, amplifying volatility risk

• Investors remain positioned for soft-landing scenarios, leaving limited margin for disappointment

• Geopolitical and fiscal risks remain underpriced relative to historical cycles

Why It Matters

Markets are not signaling stress through falling prices — they are signaling stress through divergence. When equities rise while metals strengthen and liquidity thins, it suggests confidence is conditional, not secure.

This pattern historically appears during late-cycle and transition periods, where optimism persists until an external catalyst forces repricing across assets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Thin liquidity magnifies FX volatility

• Risk-on positioning can reverse quickly

• Capital flows become disorderly during sentiment shifts

• Currencies price disappointment faster than equities

For currency holders, divergence across asset classes is a warning that stability is fragile, not durable.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Asset Divergence Signals Transition Phases
  Confidence splits before systems reorganize.

• Pillar: Liquidity Is the Silent Risk
  When buffers vanish, repricing accelerates.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Khamenei Stands Firm as Protests Simmer and U.S. Issues Threats

Currency collapse and external pressure test Iran’s political and monetary resilience

Overview

• Iran is facing renewed nationwide unrest driven by inflation and currency collapse

• Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has rejected compromise and called for firm control

• The Iranian rial’s sharp decline has intensified public anger

• U.S. President Donald Trump has warned of possible action

• Iranian authorities are struggling to contain unrest without escalating instability

Key Developments

• Protests erupted after the rial plunged, compounding inflation pressures already fueled by sanctions

• Rights groups report more than 10 deaths and widespread arrests during demonstrations

• Khamenei publicly dismissed engagement with protesters, labeling them “rioters” and calling for firm control

• Security forces used tear gas and crowd control measures, particularly in western Iranian cities

• President Trump stated the U.S. was “locked and loaded,” escalating external pressure without specifying action

• Iranian officials acknowledged economic grievances, even as state media blamed unrest on outside infiltration

Why It Matters

Iran’s unrest represents more than social discontent — it is a monetary legitimacy crisis. The collapse of the rial has exposed the limits of Iran’s economic resilience under sanctions, while leadership rigidity narrows policy options.

When governments respond to currency-driven protests with force rather than reform, confidence erodes faster than inflation statistics suggest. External threats amplify the pressure, raising the risk of escalation both domestically and regionally.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Currency collapse accelerates political instability

• Sanctions magnify inflation and settlement risk

• State credibility weakens when monetary tools fail

• FX volatility rises sharply during legitimacy crises

For currency holders, Iran illustrates how monetary failure precedes political fracture, even when regimes remain formally intact.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Currency Credibility Equals Political Stability
  When money fails, authority is challenged.

• Pillar: Sanctions Compress Policy Space
  External pressure accelerates internal fracture points.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Strategic Metals Beyond Gold Signal Structural Repricing Ahead

Copper and industrial metals reflect real-economy reset pressures

Overview

• Industrial metals are strengthening alongside precious metals

• Copper demand is rising due to electrification and AI infrastructure

• Supply constraints are colliding with long-term structural demand

• Metals tied to the real economy are being repriced

• Commodity markets are signaling more than speculative interest

Key Developments

• Copper prices remain elevated, supported by demand from EVs, renewable energy, and data centers

• Supply growth lags demand, due to underinvestment, permitting delays, and geopolitical risk

• Mining output constraints persist, limiting near-term production increases

• Investors increasingly view copper and strategic metals as infrastructure assets, not cyclical trades

• Other industrial metals are showing correlated strength, reinforcing the structural trend

Why It Matters

Unlike gold, which reflects confidence and monetary risk, industrial metals reflect the real economy. Sustained strength in copper and related metals suggests that the global system is repricing physical infrastructure needs, not just financial hedges.

This points to a reset dynamic driven by energy transition, digitization, and supply fragmentation, where physical inputs regain pricing power.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Resource-linked currencies gain relative strength

• Import-dependent economies face cost pressure

• Trade balances shift with metal access

• FX markets price real-economy constraints early

For currency holders, industrial metal trends offer insight into which currencies are structurally supported versus exposed.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Real Assets Anchor the Next System
  Infrastructure demand reshapes monetary relationships.

• Pillar: Supply Constraints Drive Repricing Cycles
  Physical scarcity matters more than financial abundance.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Gold-Backed Currency Unit Faces Structural Hurdles Ahead of Global Launch

Ambitious de-dollarization plan collides with coordination and credibility limits

Overview

• BRICS’ proposed gold-backed Unit faces mounting implementation challenges

• Member nations remain divided on structure, purpose, and timing

• Technical infrastructure and verification remain unproven

• Economic divergence inside BRICS complicates monetary unity

• Full rollout before 2030 appears increasingly unlikely

Key Developments

• Member disagreement persists
  Russia signaled in late 2024 that it was not abandoning the dollar, reversing earlier momentum. India has opposed a shared currency outright, citing trade retaliation risks. China has not publicly committed, despite holding the bloc’s largest gold reserves. Brazil expressed early enthusiasm but offered limited concrete support.

• Pilot credibility questions remain
  A limited BRICS Unit pilot launched in October 2025 with just 100 Units issued. Documentation gaps, incomplete technical specifications, and lack of confirmation from major BRICS central banks have raised concerns over operational readiness.

• Gold logistics are unresolved
  Backing the Unit with more than 6,000 metric tons of gold would require massive secure storage, verification, and auditing systems. Estimated annual maintenance costs approach $1 billion — yet no unified framework has been publicly disclosed.

• Divergent economic models complicate coordination
  BRICS members operate under vastly different systems: China’s capital controls, India’s democratic market structure, Russia’s sanction-constrained economy, Brazil’s currency volatility, and South Africa’s structural unemployment all limit policy alignment.

Why It Matters

The BRICS Unit highlights a critical truth of the global reset: alternative monetary systems are harder to implement than to announce. While dissatisfaction with dollar dominance is real, building a trusted, scalable replacement requires coordination, transparency, and political alignment that BRICS has not yet achieved.

This does not invalidate de-dollarization — but it shows that fragmentation will likely advance through trade settlement, bilateral currency use, and payment rails before any shared reserve instrument emerges.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Announcements ≠ implementation: Markets price execution, not intent

• Gold backing requires trust, verification, and access

• Fragmented blocs create uneven FX repricing

• De-dollarization will be gradual, not sudden

For currency holders, the BRICS Unit is a long-term signal, not a near-term switch.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: De-Dollarization Is Incremental, Not Binary
  The dollar weakens through alternatives, not replacements.

• Pillar: Trust Infrastructure Matters More Than Reserves
  Gold alone does not create credibility.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:  • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.      Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sun. 4 Jan. 2026

Compiled Sun. 4 Jan. 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: The fiat US Dollar was collapsing, while the World’s Central Banks were failing. As of this weekend Bank of America systems have gone offline nationwide. Millions of customers were reporting zero balances, frozen accounts, and inaccessible funds. “The day the Banks die, your fake debts die with them” said Dr. Charlie Ward.

That was because the greatest wealth transfer in human history was now fully underway as Trump activated the Quantum Financial System worldwide. Payouts in over 200 nations had (allegedly) followed the historic launch on New Year’s Day.

Prosperity Funds were(allegedly)  releasing to the people—ushering in an era of universal financial freedom and humanitarian projects that will rebuild our world.

Redemption centers reported that Tier 4B notifications have(allegedly)  begun, with appointments scheduling for currency exchanges and Zim bond redemptions at unprecedented 1:1 rates.

Debt forgiveness protocols under NESARA/GESARA were (allegedly) being implemented, wiping clean mortgages, credit cards, and student loans for millions as the old fiat system collapses forever.

Judy Note: As I understand it, all bank accounts worldwide have been mirrored from the old SWIFT Central Bank System and onto the new Quantum Financial System. Bank customers should not experience a loss of funds in the transfer process to the new System, although there may be a few days during the Ten Days of Darkness where banks are closed and ATMs don’t work, so it is advised to have cash on hand.

I am not aware of how they are calling in people to exchange their foreign currencies and redeem Zim Bonds. I, personally, have not been contacted. I only know that since the new Global Financial System(allegedly)  activated on Thurs. 1 Jan. 2025, some have (allegedly) exchanged with banks and Redemption Centers, but were on strict NDAs not to talk about it.

It is my understanding that you can obtain a higher exchange rate (including the Dinar Contract Rate) at a official Redemption Center than you can at a bank. You can only (allegedly) redeem Zim Bonds at a Redemption Center.

It is also my understanding that no one could spend their exchange monies until the full Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group who hold foreign currency and Zim Bonds) have been contacted to make appointments and the general public was made aware of the new system.

What We Think We Know as of Sun. 4 Jan. 2026:

Sat. 3 Jan. 2026: Banks are failing. America First Bank is freezing customer accounts. $21 Trillion dollars is missing from the U.S. government. That is $65,000 per person—as much as the national debt! That means the Fed and their member banks have been transacting government money outside the law.

Global Financial Crisis:

Sat. 3 Jan. 2025 Financial Coup d’Etat: History of the Missing Money. $21 Trillion dollars is missing from the U.S. government. That is $65,000 per person—as much as the national debt!

What’s  going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? How much has really gone missing?

What would happen if a corporation failed to pass  an audit like this? Or a taxpayer? This means the Fed and their member banks are transacting government money outside the law.

 So are the corporate contractors that run the payment systems. So are the Wall Street firms who are selling government securities without full disclosure.

Would your banks continue to handle your bank account if you behaved like this? Would your investors continue to buy your securities if you behaved like this? Would your accountant be silent?

Mnt Goat  Folks this is finally all coming together for Iraq; however, my contact warned me that there is still the new prime minister to be announced and government formed...the new speaker of parliament was sworn in and now he has to swear in the new members of parliament...Will they make it to the target of early January for an RV?...when Iraq really, really wants things to move along it does. I also firmly believe that they will need to pass the Oil and Gas law in the new parliament...I do not believe this will stop the reinstatement but would help to have it done. 

Jeff  Iraq is extremely close to getting back on the world stage because they're now being declared as an international sovereign state by the UN.

Frank26   The CBI is in charge of the monetary reform.  Not the GOI, not the US Treasury, not the IMF, only the CBI, not Alaq, the governor.  The BOD, board of directors of the CBI, they're the ones that are in charge.  They're the one that determine when they're going to release the new exchange rate.  They said, and we have the articles, that on December 31st 1310 was going to expire...What happened?  What happened IMO is this is what we call a warding off speculation...Alaq...why would you lie like that?  ...They're warding off speculation.  They's why there is no solution to what you're seeing.

The K-Shaped Economy: Just One Shock From Collapse

Lynette Zang:  1-3-2025

The K-shaped economy is not a recovery — it’s a fragile system held together by the top 10% while the middle class collapses underneath.

Consumer spending, confidence, and stability are all deteriorating at the same time. History shows when confidence breaks, inflation accelerates and systems fail fast.

This isn’t a recession cycle — it’s a structural breakdown. Understanding this now gives you a chance to prepare before the next shock hits.
