Iran: US Military Envoys On The Move (Iraq’s Freedom On The Cusp)
On The Verge Of A Brand New World
Savaya’s blueprint, leaked from encrypted State Department cables, demands Iraq’s Central Bank accelerate the Delete 3 Zeros initiative not as mere redenomination, but as a covert revaluation trigger, pegging the dinar at 1:1 with the USD to flood international markets with oil-backed liquidity by mid-2026 or sooner.

Savaya’s classified metrics for Iraq’s market resurgence demand a rate overhaul deleting zeros, targeting 300 IQD/USD to lure Asian forex flows diverted from China’s yuan woes.
Intel from hacked Iranian servers shows panic over this, with plans to flood markets with counterfeit dinars thwarted by Savaya’s biometric scanners in border posts.
Clarity Act’s unreported riders: Senate will add clauses for dinar transparency, exposing Deepstate banks in the mix.
Board’s Peace charter, signed January 22, 2026, mandates rate stability for membership, reshaping Middle East economics.
The aggressive edge: Savaya’s teams execute wet works on key saboteurs, clearing paths for unhindered revaluation.
Savaya’s endgame for Iraq’s forex dominance requires rate elevation post-zeros deletion, aiming for 100 IQD/USD parity to dominate Gulf markets by 2027. This trajectory, fueled by Trump’s 2020 republic signal, integrates dinar into gold ecosystems, ending Fed’s reign as silver crests $100 in shadow trades.
Clarity Act’s Senate breakthrough will unleash asset forfeitures on Iranian-linked brokers, clearing dinar paths. Board’s Peace framework, ratified at Davos, enforces this monetary peace, accelerating global shifts.
The bold disclosure: Savaya’s alliances with off-world overseers ensure revaluation’s cosmic alignment, outpacing Deepstate collapses.

From Debt Crisis to Asset Revaluation, the Next Financial Regime
From Debt Crisis to Asset Revaluation, the Next Financial Regime
Miles Harris: 1-23-2026
The world is on the cusp of a significant financial transformation, driven by the unsustainable growth of global debt and the need to repair balance sheets without outright debt reduction.
In a recent video presentation, Miles Harris introduces the concept of the “Great Revaluation,” a process that promises to reshape the future economic landscape through the tokenization of real-world assets and the adoption of unified ledger technologies.
From Debt Crisis to Asset Revaluation, the Next Financial Regime
Miles Harris: 1-23-2026
The world is on the cusp of a significant financial transformation, driven by the unsustainable growth of global debt and the need to repair balance sheets without outright debt reduction.
In a recent video presentation, Miles Harris introduces the concept of the “Great Revaluation,” a process that promises to reshape the future economic landscape through the tokenization of real-world assets and the adoption of unified ledger technologies.
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the key takeaways from the presentation and explore the implications of this emerging trend.
The current financial system is characterized by excessive global debt, which has grown to unsustainable levels relative to GDP.
Traditional forms of collateral, such as government bonds and housing, are becoming exhausted, and the system relies heavily on rolling over debts, liquidity, and credible collateral to service these debts. However, as collateral quality deteriorates and settlement processes remain slow, the system faces increasing refinancing risks.
Harris draws a fascinating historical parallel with England’s financial revolution in the late 17th century, where land was revalued as collateral, enabling debt expansion without repayment.
This revaluation facilitated economic growth and helped to establish England as a major financial power. Similarly, the modern equivalent of this revaluation is tokenization, which transforms illiquid real-world assets into liquid, pledgeable digital assets on blockchain-based unified ledgers.
Tokenization promises significant improvements in liquidity, transparency, efficiency, and asset usability, potentially leading to a liquidity premium where tokenized assets appreciate in value.
By expanding the asset base supporting existing debts, tokenization facilitates balance sheet repair without reducing debt levels. This process has the potential to drive greater asset value appreciation and increased economic activity due to faster transaction settlement.
However, Harris cautions that this transition is selective and phased, emphasizing that tokenization will not create new wealth but will reprice existing assets to sustain the heavily indebted global economy.
The benefits of tokenization may disproportionately favor financial elites rather than “main street,” raising important questions about the distribution of wealth and the impact on different segments of society.
In conclusion, the Great Revaluation represents a significant shift in the global financial system, driven by the need to address excessive debt and repair balance sheets.
Tokenization and unified ledger technologies are set to play a key role in this process, promising improved liquidity, transparency, and efficiency. While the benefits of this transition are likely to be significant, it’s essential to engage critically with these ideas and consider the potential implications for different stakeholders.
For further insights and information, we encourage you to watch the full video presentation by Miles Harris, available online. You can also explore these themes further on his website and upcoming videos.
As the global financial system continues to evolve, it’s crucial to stay informed and engaged with the latest developments in this rapidly changing landscape.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Precious Metals Surge: Gold Nears $5,000 and Silver Crosses $100
Safe-haven demand ignites historic rallies amid market uncertainty
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Precious Metals Surge: Gold Nears $5,000 and Silver Crosses $100
Safe-haven demand ignites historic rallies amid market uncertainty
Overview
In today’s markets, gold and silver prices are once again capturing global attention. Silver broke above $100 per ounce — a historic milestone — while gold approaches the $5,000 level as investors seek shelter from ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures. Long-term structural factors like supply constraints, persistent deficits, and robust industrial demand continue to support the rally.
Current Market Moves
Silver climbed above $100 per ounce, driven by strong investor interest and tight physical supply.
Gold prices are approaching $5,000 per ounce, maintaining upward momentum.
Tight inventories, especially in London and COMEX vaults, are exacerbating upward pressure on prices.
Broader macro forces — expectations of rate cuts, a softer dollar, and safe-haven buying — continue to underpin metals strength.
Why It Matters
The precious metals rally signals a flight to safety as investors confront:
Heightened geopolitical tensions
Trade and tariff uncertainty
Inflation and currency volatility
Gold and silver’s surge reflects broader market stress, where non-yielding assets outshine equities and other risk assets.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Foreign currency holders should take note because:
Precious metals often act as proxy indicators for systemic risk and currency confidence
Rising gold and silver prices imply weakening confidence in fiat stability
Metals gains tend to anticipate currency realignments during systemic resets
Safe-haven flows often precede capital reallocation across FX, commodities, and reserves
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Monetary Store of Value Shift
Silver’s breakthrough and gold’s ascent suggest investors are repositioning toward hard assets as fiat uncertainty grows.
Pillar 2 – Safe-Haven Leadership
Precious metals are assuming a more central role in portfolios, challenging traditional reserve and liquidity models that rely heavily on debt or currency instruments.
This is not a short rally — it reflects enduring structural demand and shifting perceptions of monetary risk.
When metals shine brightest, fiat shadows deepen

Trilateral Peace Talks in Abu Dhabi: Constructive but No Breakthrough Yet
Diplomacy resumes, territorial deadlock remains, and negotiations set to continue
Overview
For the first time since the full-scale invasion began, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have met face-to-face in a trilateral diplomatic format hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the two-day negotiations as “constructive,” covering parameters for ending the nearly four-year conflict, though no ceasefire or concrete resolution has been agreed. Officials have signaled that another round of discussions is expected next week, underscoring the ongoing — yet fragile — diplomatic process.
Key Developments
The talks took place in Abu Dhabi, with delegations from Ukraine, the United States, and Russia.
Zelenskyy stated the discussions were “constructive” and that all parties agreed to report back to capitals and coordinate further.
Core issues include the parameters for ending the war and possible security guarantees, though specifics remain undisclosed.
A next round of trilateral meetings is anticipated on February 1, 2026, according to U.S. officials.
While dialogue resumed, Russia continues military actions on the ground, and key territorial issues — especially in the Donbas region — remain unresolved.
Why It Matters
This trilateral engagement marks a symbolic milestone in diplomacy: the first of its kind since the war began. It signals both willingness and limits of negotiation:
It reopens formal channels between Kyiv and Moscow in the presence of a major mediator (the U.S.).
It highlights how unresolved territorial demands — particularly Russia’s stance on eastern Ukraine — continue to block peace progress.
The setting in the UAE reflects the growing importance of emerging diplomatic venues outside traditional Western capitals.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Geopolitical conflict reshapes currency and risk pricing. Progress or prolonged stalemate affects safe-haven assets (e.g., gold) and volatile FX pairs.
Constructive diplomacy can reduce extreme risk premiums, potentially stabilizing markets.
A diplomatic impasse sustains uncertainty that can inflate currency hedging strategies, strengthening demand for alternative reserve assets.
Renewal of talks into February suggests continued monitoring and sensitive capital flows in the near term — especially for currencies exposed to energy, defense, and regional trade risks.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Peace & Geostrategic Realignment
This trilateral framework introduces a new multilateral dynamic in conflict negotiation, potentially reducing reliance on exclusive bilateral negotiations.
Pillar 2 – Market & Confidence Dynamics
Even constructive diplomacy without agreement shifts risk appetites — driving hedging behavior, safe-haven flows, and reserve diversification.
This is not a definitive peace — it is the cautious continuation of dialogue.
Talks resume, but boundaries still draw the battle lines

Will the U.S. Dollar Collapse If BRICS Links Their CBDC Currencies?
Digital rails expand as dollar dominance faces transactional pressure — not extinction
Overview
Speculation intensified this week after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) proposed linking BRICS nations’ central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to facilitate cross-border trade. With India hosting the 2026 BRICS Summit in New Delhi, the proposal carries unusual weight and signals a shift from theory toward implementation. While some headlines warn of a dollar collapse, the reality is more nuanced.
Key Developments
The RBI formally proposed interoperability between BRICS CBDCs to improve trade settlement efficiency
India’s role as 2026 BRICS chair elevates the likelihood of pilot frameworks advancing
Linked CBDCs would enable faster, cheaper settlements by bypassing dollar-centric rails
The proposal focuses on transactional utility, not replacing reserve currency structures
Energy and commodity trade are the most likely early use cases
Why It Matters
Transactional dominance vs. reserve dominance becomes the real fault line
The U.S. dollar may lose some cross-border settlement volume without losing reserve status
CBDC linkages reduce reliance on SWIFT and correspondent banking networks
Multipolar payment infrastructure quietly advances without formal monetary unions
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Reduced dollar usage in trade supports diversification narratives
Incremental shifts — not collapses — are how resets actually unfold
CBDC rails increase optional settlement paths, not forced abandonment of USD
Long-term holders benefit from gradual re-pricing of alternative currency relevance
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 – Financial Infrastructure Realignment
CBDC interoperability weakens the dollar’s transactional monopoly without directly challenging its reserve role.
Pillar 2 – Multipolar Trade & Settlement Systems
BRICS continues building parallel systems, allowing countries to hedge exposure to Western financial chokepoints.
This is not a currency war — it’s plumbing replacement.
The dollar isn’t collapsing — it’s being routed around

‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Says Gold, Silver Prices Don’t Really Matter
‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Says Gold, Silver Prices Don’t Really Matter
Anand Sinha TheStreet Fri, January 23, 2026
If you’re obsessively refreshing gold charts, cryptocurrency candles, or silver wicks, Robert Kiyosaki wants you to relax.
In an X post on Jan. 22, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author made it clear: he doesn’t care whether gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), or even Ethereum (ETH), rise or fall on any given day.
Why? Because, in his view, the real story isn’t market volatility. It’s the slow, steady erosion of the U.S. dollar.

Anand Sinha TheStreet Fri, January 23, 2026
If you’re obsessively refreshing gold charts, cryptocurrency candles, or silver wicks, Robert Kiyosaki wants you to relax.
In an X post on Jan. 22, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author made it clear: he doesn’t care whether gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), or even Ethereum (ETH), rise or fall on any given day.
Why? Because, in his view, the real story isn’t market volatility. It’s the slow, steady erosion of the U.S. dollar.
U.S. debt soars, U.S. dollar sinks
Kiyosaki argues that as the U.S.’s federal debt continues to climb, the purchasing power of the dollar keeps falling.
He isn't wrong.
The U.S. federal government currently has $38.45 trillion in debt.
The U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the value of the dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies, is at its lowest in two weeks at 98.30 at press time.
Once you accept this reality, Kiyosaki says, price swings start to matter a lot less.
However, the price movements of these popular assets have shaken the global markets.
Gold's price hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $4,967.03 per ounce on Jan. 23 and is now eyeing the $5,000 mark.
Silver is also hitting new records every few days, hitting the ATH of $100.29 per oz on Jan. 23.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, was exchanging hands at $88,866.80 at the time of writing—a pale shadow of the king coin when it hit north of $126,000 in early October last year.
Ether was trading at $2,915.86 at press time, 40% lower than the ATH of $4,953.73 it reached in late April last year.
Instead of worrying about these price movements, Kiyosaki points the finger at what he sees as a deeper problem: economic leadership.
Kiyosaki attacks 'incompetent, highly educated' PhDs in charge

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context. Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions
MZ: You know the drill, we cut up for the first 45 minutes with Matt and Lucas (CBD Gurus) then dive into the news
Member: Good Morning. Welcome to another weekend
Member: Mark, we need some really good news today.
MZ: Very quiet on the bond front this morning….I have a bond contact supposed to be back in Zurich by Monday morning. He was house hunting across the Mediterranean. So he either feels very confident or has money ….I don’t know which.
Member: Hopefully this weekend is the calm before the storm or the deep breath before the plunge?
Member: I still believe it will be a shotgun start and we will all go at once.
MZ: Dominating the news in Iraq is the US pressure to step away from Iran, Remove any influence or face sanctions. I think they are being told to finish this…..no more excuses.
MZ: From Reuters: “ Washington holds the key to Iraq’s economy. Thus it controls revenues” Todays links are at https://theoriginalmarkz.com/home/
MZ: “An American newspaper reveals the expected sanctions for Iraq if the factions do not disarm” Again this is to remove Iranian influence and armed militias in Iraq. These are sponsored by Iranian interests.
MZ: “US plans to starve Iraq of oil revenues if pro-Iran parties join the new government.” And then this one: “ A Government without factions or a country without dollars: Washington puts Baghdad politicians with two options”
MZ: I think Iraq is being pushed to “poop or get off the pot” and being told to move forward now. They are being pushed across the finish line.
MZ: “ Meet the man who bought $1 billion in physical silver before the rally” He probably picked it up at about $30 an ounce. This is David Bateman the founder of Endrada. He bought 1.5% of the annual silver supply or 12.69 million ounces.
MZ: These are the reasons he gives:
The global monetary system is about to collapse: (The Great Reset or Basel Endgame)
The biggest credit bubble in history will soon pop
There is no way the US can refinance the $26 Trillion in maturing treasuries in the next 4 years without a obscene amount of printing
Trumps tariffs are hastening the collapse and its by design
Gold and silver are the only meaningful life raft. Physical possession is everything.
The whole world right now is a sophisticated game of musical chairs. The chairs are precious metals
The banking system has been meticulously designed to seize your assets to buoy up a collapsing banking sector( see the Great Taking) You have zero counter party risk with precious metals.
MZ: One of Russia’s financial advisors said recently that “The US is doing a controlled demolition of the US dollar” and I believe it. Controlled demolition of the fiat system.
MZ: I believe its bye bye fiat and we are watching it. The pressure around the world right now is a reset with assets. I believe everything we have been waiting for for years is manifesting before our eyes.
MZ: “ De- dollarization alert: The Danish Pension Fund dumps US Treasuries” We have heard for years we would see governments start to sell off bonds . If (Operation Sandman) and if all the African nations and Global south nations dump theirs – it would be the final straw or the final collapse. Is this what we are watching?
MZ: Denmark said about a year and a half ago that they were accumulating gold and preparing for a reset from fiat to asset backed money.
Member: BRICS has released the digital "unit". 40% backed by gold….60% backed by a basket of BRICS Members currencies.
Member” Lets all hope our new US asset backed currency is also on its way.

Tishwash: $100 billion in Iraqi savings revealed at the US Federal Reserve
Economic expert Duraid Al-Anzi said on Friday that Iraq should not have been exposed to any financial crisis or any form of financial distress, stressing that the concerned authorities did not adopt the proposed oil prices in the budgets, which led to the current financial situation.
Al-Anzi explained in a statement to Al-Furat News Agency that “Iraq has been objected to several times regarding not relying on high prices in budgets, and the necessity of not exceeding $65 per barrel in order to be able to save,” noting that “oil prices have changed a lot, but the competent authorities did not think about the future and did not adopt the proposed prices.”

He added that “Iraq is able to demand additional amounts from its savings held by the US Federal Reserve, as Iraq has savings in the US Federal Reserve exceeding $100 billion, which were transferred to JPMorgan,” explaining that “these funds belong to Iraq after 2003 and have accumulated, and the only beneficiary of them is JPMorgan, which gives simple interest rates, and it is not known whether they reach Iraq or not, and they have not been addressed, despite the amounts being doubled.” link
Sudani's chances are improving again... New information revealed by MP Al-Luwaizi
MP Abdul Rahman Al-Luwaizi, from the Reconstruction and Development bloc, said that what is being circulated regarding an official concession or political marketing to hand over the premiership to the leader of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri Al-Maliki, is “untrue in word and deed,” stressing that the political reality indicates a different course in managing the nomination file.
Al-Luwaizi explained in televised statements followed by “Jarida Platform” that what is currently happening is opening the way for the current Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, to give Nouri Al-Maliki the political opportunity to enter the race for the nomination, indicating that this option does not mean deciding the position in favor of Al-Maliki, but rather subjecting him to a test of his ability to form the government within the existing equations and balances.
He added that Maliki’s failure to form a government, if he is officially tasked with it, will reopen all political options, noting that Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s chances may rise again strongly, based on considerations of internal balances and the magnitude of the challenges that any new tasked person may face.
Al-Luwaizi indicated that if the option of assigning Al-Maliki proceeds, the Reconstruction and Development bloc will have a "significant" ministerial share within the new government formation, explaining that the talk is about five sovereign or heavy service ministries.
He also pointed out that the political blocs that had previously objected to al-Sudani’s appointment and nomination for the premiership may receive modest ministerial shares compared to the supporting blocs, which reinforces the hypothesis of al-Sudani’s repositioning as a strong option in the next stage.
Al-Luwaizi concluded his remarks by emphasizing that the political scene is still open to several scenarios, and that the decision regarding the premiership will remain contingent on the candidate's ability to overcome political complexities and form a government that enjoys broad consensus. link

Tishwash: Announcement of a joint US military exercise at the embassy and Baghdad airport
US President Donald Trump stated that a large naval fleet is moving towards the Middle East region, including an aircraft carrier and a number of destroyers.
This came in a statement to reporters aboard the presidential plane, "Air Force One," on his way back to the United States after meeting with leaders from around the world in Davos, Switzerland.
Trump said, "We have a large number of ships moving in that direction, in case of any emergency... I don't want anything to happen, but we are watching them very closely."
The US forces in the Middle East are being reinforced with the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and a number of destroyers equipped with guided missiles and additional air defense systems that could be critical to defense if any Iranian attack occurs on US bases in the region.
According to media reports and statements by a US Navy official, the aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln" and three destroyers are making their way to the Middle East region, with estimates suggesting their arrival within the next few days.
US media reported that the US force includes an aircraft carrier, cruisers and missile destroyers, in addition to squadrons of fighter jets belonging to the Air Force and ground-based air and missile defense systems.
American warships, including the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, several destroyers, and fighter jets, began moving from the Asia-Pacific region to the Middle East last week, amid rising tensions and escalation between Tehran and Washington over the recent protests in Iran.
It is noted that the US military had amassed a large force last summer before its strikes last June against sites in Iran.
The White House announced last Thursday that President Trump and his team are closely monitoring developments in Iran, and stressed that "all options regarding Tehran remain on the table." link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Global Equity Fund Inflows Collapse as Investors Pivot to Safety
Capital quietly abandons risk assets, signaling deeper stress beneath global markets
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Global Equity Fund Inflows Collapse as Investors Pivot to Safety
Capital quietly abandons risk assets, signaling deeper stress beneath global markets.
Overview
Global investor sentiment shifted sharply as geopolitical uncertainty intensified, triggering a dramatic slowdown in equity fund inflows. Weekly global equity inflows plunged from approximately $45 billion to just $9 billion, reflecting rising risk aversion tied to renewed U.S. trade disputes, diplomatic frictions, and mounting macroeconomic instability.
At the same time, safe-haven assets surged in demand, with gold and precious metals funds attracting significant new capital as investors prioritized preservation over growth.
Key Developments
Equity inflows dropped nearly 80% week-over-week, a sharp reversal in global risk appetite
Escalating trade tensions and geopolitical uncertainty weighed on growth expectations
Gold and precious metals funds gained inflows, reinforcing safe-haven demand
Bond and defensive allocations increased as investors repositioned portfolios
Why It Matters
This shift reflects more than short-term volatility. Capital flows act as early warning indicators, and the move away from equities suggests institutional investors are bracing for policy shocks, liquidity tightening, and systemic recalibration.
When global money retreats from growth assets, it signals expectations of:
Slower economic expansion
Increased financial stress
Potential monetary intervention
Such conditions often precede structural changes in monetary and fiscal frameworks.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Periods of risk-off capital rotation historically align with currency realignments and revaluation windows. As investors favor tangible and defensive assets, confidence in existing fiat structures weakens, strengthening the case for currency resets, asset-backed valuation mechanisms, or revised exchange regimes.
Foreign currency holders waiting for higher valuation scenarios often see these moments as positioning phases, not endpoints.
Implications for the Global Reset
Confirms a transition from growth chasing to capital protection
Reinforces gold’s role as a neutral anchor asset
Signals increasing strain on equity-driven liquidity models
Aligns with broader movement toward monetary system restructuring
When capital stops chasing returns and starts seeking shelter, the system is telling you something.

Davos 2026: Carney Flags Dollar Decline as BRICS Influence Accelerates
Middle powers warned the old financial order is fracturing in real time
Overview
At the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, Mark Carney delivered a stark warning that global finance is no longer in transition but in rupture. His remarks focused on accelerating dollar vulnerability, the weaponization of economic integration, and the growing influence of BRICS-led alternatives shaping a multipolar financial order.
Carney’s speech underscored how trade, payments infrastructure, and reserve assets are being re-engineered as trust in the post-WWII system erodes.
Key Developments
Dollar dominance questioned as sanctions, tariffs, and policy unpredictability reshape capital flows
BRICS momentum accelerates, shifting from discussion to technical implementation
CBDC interoperability proposals emerge as alternatives to dollar-based settlement systems
Gold accumulation surges, reflecting hedging against financial weaponization
Middle powers coordinate to reduce dependence on hegemonic bilateral negotiations
Why It Matters
The rules-based order is fragmenting even inside traditional Western forums
Dollar leverage weakens as nations pursue parallel systems, not outright replacement
Trade, payments, and reserves are increasingly decoupled from U.S. control
Reset dynamics now unfold incrementally, not through formal declarations
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Dollar dilution often precedes repricing of alternative currencies and assets
Gold-backed or commodity-linked reserves benefit during confidence transitions
Multipolar settlement systems increase demand for non-USD instruments
Currency holders positioned early may benefit as reserve realignment unfolds
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Monetary Architecture Realignment
Carney’s remarks reinforce that reserve diversification, CBDC experimentation, and gold accumulation are no longer fringe ideas — they are policy responses to systemic stress.
Pillar 2: Power Shift Through Infrastructure
Rather than confronting the dollar directly, BRICS and middle powers are building around it, weakening dominance through adoption of alternative rails.
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.

Is The Era Of The Dollar Over? Shocking Messages From The Davos Forum
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up The World Economic Forum in Davos revealed a growing rift in economic relations between traditional allies, amid an unprecedented escalation in political and economic rhetoric, bringing back to the forefront a fundamental question: Is the world witnessing the end of the unipolar economic system?
During the forum, US President Donald Trump made strongly worded statements towards Europe, attacking European policies and directly demanding the abandonment of Greenland, in a move that strongly brought the issue of tariffs and trade tensions back to the forefront.
Trump's message was clear and unequivocal: "America First," as he stressed that protecting the American economy had become a top priority, even if it led to economic tension with the closest allies in the European continent.
According to observers, trade is no longer just an economic tool for the US administration, but has become a means of national security, used to exert pressure and redraw the global balance of power.
Shocking European Response From Davos
In contrast, the European response was swift and this time harsh and unprecedented.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has explicitly called for Europe to break free from the dominance of the dollar, in a clear indication of a need to rethink the foundations of the global monetary system.
This stance was not limited to Europe alone, but was echoed in Canada, one of the strongest allies of the United States, where Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, known for his deep economic background, expressed a similar view calling for a reduction in excessive dependence on the dollar.
Back To The Roots: Bretton Woods And The Nixon Shock
To understand the current situation, economists look back to the period after World War II, when the global economic system was formed through the Bretton Woods Agreement, which placed the dollar at the heart of the global monetary system and linked the world's economies to the United States.
This system continued for decades, until Nixon's shock in 1971, when he broke the dollar's link to gold, radically changing the rules and building global stability on trust instead of solid guarantees.
A New Test For The Global System
Today, this historical stability appears to be being tested once again. What the world is witnessing is not a passing disagreement between allies, but a comprehensive rethinking of the shape of the global economic order, the role of the dollar, and the limits of American influence.
Analysts believe that the next phase may witness a gradual shift towards a multipolar economic system, in which centers of power are distributed among more than one currency and more than one economic axis.
In a rapidly changing world, understanding major trends early on becomes a crucial factor in seizing opportunities and avoiding risks.
The most important question remains: Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of American economic hegemony? Or just a temporary rebalancing? https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=64905

Iraq Pushes Back On ISIS Transfers, Urges EU Burden-Sharing
2026-01-24 04:00 Shafaq News– Baghdad Iraq will not shoulder the security and financial costs of receiving thousands of ISIS detainees transferred from Syria alone, Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on Saturday, as the first group of prisoners entered Iraqi custody.
According to a statement from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Hussein told European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas during a phone call that responsibility for the detainees must be shared among all countries involved, particularly those whose nationals are among the prisoners.
The transfers follow a US-led operation launched this week by United States Central Command (CENTCOM), which began relocating ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraqi facilities. The first batch included 150 prisoners, with up to 7,000 expected to be moved in stages.
The move comes amid mounting concerns over prison security in northeastern Syria after renewed clashes between Syrian government forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which have strained detention sites holding ISIS members.
Transfers accelerated after shifts in territorial control, as the SDF handed over several detention facilities to government forces under a political arrangement, raising fears about the stability of prisons previously secured by the group.
Hussein urged Europe to take a more active role in supporting talks between Damascus and the SDF to stabilize detention sites and prevent further escapes or unrest, the statement said. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraq-pushes-back-on-ISIS-transfers-urges-EU-burden-sharing
