Blast From The Past

Atlantic Council | Front Page-Iraq’s Prime Minister on building a stronger relationship with the United States

Live Broadcast April 19 2024 at 2:30 PM ET

Question: Is the Iraqi government thinking of revaluing the value of Dinar due to the current circumstances in the market?

Or do you see it to stay the same?

Prime Minister Al Sudani’s Response:

This policy is actually dictated by the Central Bank. The government abides by the decision of the Central Bank. Iraq is in the best status we could be in. We have actually had an assessment which has given much trust to higher global parties. So we started reforms when it comes to the banking sector. We have spoken about this before, but this is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar. There is a consistent policy the Central Bank is using when it comes to investments and how they invest the money for our own reserves here in Iraq.

Did You See The Main Sentence?

“We have spoken about this before, but this is actually going to raise the level of the value of Iraqi Dinar.” End Quote

What did you learn here?

Who is in charge of the rate change?

Who will ultimately pull the trigger?

What is currently happening with the USD?

What is currently happening with silver?

What is currently happening with the digital currency in Iraq?

What is currently happening with RLUSD?

What is currently happening with Iran?

All of these things are bringing you the revaluation in their respective fields.

Ariel : Iran is Important for the Currency Revaluation

2-16-2026

Iran Is Important For The Currency Revaluation: Removing Them Is The Trigger Point

Iraq’s Gold-Backed Digital Dinar and the Currency Revaluation

Iran’s grip prevents Iraq’s economic sovereignty. A revalued Iraqi Dinar, pegged to gold reserves (Iraq’s holdings surged to 145 tons by October 2025, Central Bank of Iraq, Baghdad), requires regional calm. Without it, hyperinflation and black-market chaos persist.

The Plan: A digital dinar system, integrated with blockchain for transparency, backed by oil revenues and gold. This isn’t public knowledge – it’s buried in classified IMF consultations (IMF Country Report No. 25/183, June 11, 2025) pushing for redenomination (deleting three zeros) to streamline transactions and attract foreign investment.

Why Iran Must Fall:

Iranian proxies siphon billions from Iraq’s oil (fifth-largest reserves globally, Basra fields) via smuggling networks, raking in $1 billion annually (Reuters, December 3, 2024). This funds terror, not reconstruction.

Regime change in Tehran clears the path: no more proxy attacks on pipelines, stable exchange rates (current IQD at 1,310 to USD, targeted reset to pre-1991 levels around 3 IQD per USD).

The “new financial system” – a gold-standard digital network – hinges on this, enabling seamless trade across a pacified Middle East.

Think about this. Deepstate blueprints, akin to the Fulcrum in Blacklist Season 2 – a device holding all secrets – outline this as part of a broader reset.

Iraq’s Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq (Baghdad) confirmed in October 2025 the “zero removal” project advances, but off-record memos tie it to U.S.-backed stabilization post-Iran conflict.

Without peace, no dinar RV; with it, trillions in locked value unleash.

Euro Ascendant? Europe Moves to Challenge Dollar Dominance

EU leaders push sweeping reforms to elevate the euro’s global status and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Euro Ascendant? Europe Moves to Challenge Dollar Dominance

EU leaders push sweeping reforms to elevate the euro’s global status and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Overview

• Euro zone finance ministers are meeting to strengthen the euro’s international role.

• The European Commission has proposed structural reforms to boost competitiveness and financial resilience.

• Plans aim to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar and external economic pressure.

• Digital currency initiatives and capital market reforms are central to the strategy.

Key Developments

• Removing Internal Trade Barriers
EU officials are examining the elimination of internal trade frictions across the 27-member bloc. According to the International Monetary Fund, these barriers are equivalent to a 44% tariff on goods and 110% on services. Removing them would deepen the single market and enhance economic efficiency across the euro area.

• Introducing a Unified Corporate Framework
The proposed “28th Regime” would create a single corporate legal structure across the EU. Currently, businesses must navigate 27 separate legal systems. A unified structure would reduce compliance costs, improve cross-border expansion, and strengthen Europe’s competitive footing globally.

• Strengthening Financial Stability and Joint Debt Tools
Discussions include establishing an EU-wide bank deposit guarantee scheme to ensure equal protection for savers. Reforming the European Stability Mechanism into a stronger EU-level institution capable of managing joint debt issuance would further solidify financial crisis defenses.

• Digital Euro and Capital Markets Expansion
Plans for a Capital Markets Union could mobilize nearly 10 trillion euros currently sitting in deposits, redirecting funds into sectors such as green energy, defense, semiconductors, biotech, and digital infrastructure. A digital euro is also under consideration to reduce reliance on U.S.-controlled payment networks. Expanding euro-denominated bonds and liquidity lines to foreign central banks would enhance the euro’s global reserve appeal.

Why It Matters

This is a strategic attempt to reshape the global financial balance of power. By strengthening internal integration, expanding joint debt markets, and launching a digital euro, Europe is positioning itself as a stronger monetary counterweight to the U.S. dollar and growing Chinese influence.

As dollar dominance faces pressure, the euro is being engineered for greater global weight.  

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Readers holding foreign currencies in anticipation of a Global Reset should pay close attention:

  • A stronger euro could increase competition among reserve currencies.

  • Expanded euro bond markets may boost global demand for euro-denominated assets.

  • A digital euro infrastructure could shift international payment flows away from dollar-centric systems.

Currency realignments often unfold gradually, but structural reforms of this scale can significantly influence long-term valuation trends.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Reserve Currency Diversification
If successfully implemented, these reforms could elevate the euro’s share in global reserves and trade invoicing. This would accelerate movement toward a multipolar reserve currency system, reducing singular dollar dominance.

Pillar 2: Digital Monetary Sovereignty
The launch of a digital euro and euro-based stablecoins reflects Europe’s desire to control its own payment infrastructure. This shifts power from private global networks toward sovereign-backed digital systems, redefining monetary influence.

The euro isn’t just strengthening — it’s positioning for a larger role in the coming currency reset.

Germany Recalibrates: Berlin Admits BRICS Strategy Misstep

Germany signals a diplomatic pivot, acknowledging that distancing from BRICS members weakened strategic ties.

Overview

• Germany admits alienating BRICS nations was a strategic error.

• Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul publicly acknowledged the misjudgment.

• Berlin is reassessing its approach toward India and other BRICS members.

• The shift reflects broader European recalibration in a multipolar world.

Key Developments

• Public Admission at Munich Security Conference
Speaking alongside India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar at the Munich Security Conference, Wadephul stated that Europe previously viewed countries primarily through the “BRICS lens,” which created unnecessary distance. He acknowledged that this approach “was wrong.”

• Recognition of Shared Interests
Wadephul emphasized that Germany shares democratic values and economic interests with nations such as India and Brazil. He suggested that prior policy framing overshadowed these shared priorities and limited cooperation opportunities.

• Strategic Course Correction
Germany now signals a broader diplomatic realignment—moving from ideological grouping distinctions toward pragmatic engagement. The pivot suggests Berlin recognizes BRICS’ growing global economic weight.

• Europe’s Broader Reassessment
This development reflects Europe’s attempt to adapt to a more fragmented global order where emerging economies hold increasing influence in trade, energy, and geopolitical negotiations.

Why It Matters

Germany’s acknowledgment underscores a shift from rigid bloc-based diplomacy toward strategic flexibility in a multipolar system. As BRICS nations expand economic influence, European powers are recalibrating engagement strategies to avoid isolation from high-growth markets and resource hubs.

Diplomatic recalibration may precede financial restructuring in the evolving reset landscape.  

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Readers holding foreign currencies in anticipation of a Global Reset should consider:

  • Strengthened EU-BRICS engagement may influence cross-border trade flows and currency demand.

  • Increased cooperation with India and Brazil could boost regional economic integration.

  • Diplomatic realignment often precedes financial agreements, investment flows, and currency settlement adjustments.

As alliances shift, currency positioning can shift with them. Diplomatic recalibration is often an early indicator of financial realignment.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Multipolar Diplomatic Realignment
Germany’s shift signals that Western economies are adapting to the rise of BRICS rather than isolating it. This supports the emergence of a more balanced global power structure, reshaping influence across trade and finance.

Pillar 2: Economic Pragmatism Over Ideology
The acknowledgment suggests future global finance will be driven by shared economic interests rather than rigid bloc divisions. That transition can accelerate cooperative trade mechanisms and diversified currency usage.

Germany’s admission underscores that BRICS influence now demands engagement, not exclusion.

Another “Temporary” Spending Bill That Still Costs Americans 93 Years Later

Another “Temporary” Spending Bill That Still Costs Americans 93 Years Later

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  February 16, 2026

In January 1933, a farmer named Wallace Kramp was about to lose everything. A lender in Wood County, Ohio was foreclosing on his farm over an $800 mortgage he couldn't pay.

Kramp wasn't a bad farmer. It was actually the government’s fault: during World War I, the US government had urged farmers to plant as much as they could to feed the troops and war-torn Europe.

Another “Temporary” Spending Bill That Still Costs Americans 93 Years Later

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  February 16, 2026

In January 1933, a farmer named Wallace Kramp was about to lose everything. A lender in Wood County, Ohio was foreclosing on his farm over an $800 mortgage he couldn't pay.

Kramp wasn't a bad farmer. It was actually the government’s fault: during World War I, the US government had urged farmers to plant as much as they could to feed the troops and war-torn Europe.

Families like the Kramps borrowed money and used the loan proceeds to expand production. But then the war ended; European agriculture recovered, and demand for US agriculture vanished. But the American farmers’ debts didn't.

By the early 1930s, wheat that had sold for $2 a bushel during the war was going for 25 cents. Nearly 750,000 farms went bankrupt between 1930 and 1935.

These weren't giant agribusinesses. They were small, family farms.

Kramp, at least, got lucky. On January 26th 1933, his assets were up for bankruptcy auction... and Kramp's neighbors showed up to bid a combined total of $14. Then they handed everything back to him so that he could keep his property.

But most farmers weren't so lucky, and they lost everything.

That's why, a few months later, Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933. The idea was to pay farmers to reduce production, prop up crop prices, and keep family farmers on their lands.

The original budget was $100 million— about $2.5 billion in today's dollars— and it was supposed to be a temporary measure.

That was 93 years ago.

But, big surprise, the "temporary" program never went away. And the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 evolved into the modern farm bill— a sprawling piece of legislation that Congress renews every five years, now costing roughly $1.5 trillion per decade.

More importantly, the struggling family farmers it was meant to protect have been replaced by massive agricultural conglomerates.

For example, they receive billions to grow corn. And that subsidized corn flows into the processed food supply— much of it as high-fructose corn syrup which ends up in practically everything Americans eat and drink.

The modern farm bill then funds SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka food stamps) for more than 40 million people.

Ironically, soft drinks— full of that high fructose corn syrup— are the single largest category of SNAP purchases.

Processed foods have fueled epidemic levels of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The United States spends nearly $5 trillion per year on healthcare, with the government picking up roughly two-thirds of the tab through Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs.

So taxpayers subsidize Big Ag’s corn production. Then further subsidize the purchase of junk food made from that corn. Then further subsidize the medical care for Americans who become unhealthy from all of that processed food.

This is what I'd call the government spending spiral— a self-reinforcing doom loop where each dollar spent justifies even more spending.

And this isn’t even the most corrosive layer of the spending spiral... because at every step, the industries involved— agricultural conglomerates, food manufacturers, healthcare providers, insurance companies— lobby Congress to keep the money flowing.

PepsiCo alone spent $2.8 million last year lobbying to keep their highly processed junk food eligible for food stamps.

You can see the pattern— these companies benefit from ample taxpayer funded subsidies, then recycle a portion of those proceeds back into the political machine to prop up the candidates who vote in favor of those subsidies.

This is why Congress— with an approval rating under 15%— somehow maintains a 90%+ reelection rate for incumbents: their campaigns are funded by the very graft that they vote for!

The federal government now spends roughly $7 trillion per year— roughly double from ten years ago.

What exactly did Americans get for the extra trillions in government spending? Are roads smoother? Schools better? Healthcare more affordable?

None of the above. In fact, despite a 100% increase in spending, schools, healthcare, and infrastructure have all become worse.

It’s truly staggering how much all of this spending is creating a drag on the US economy.

But it works both ways: cutting spending and eliminating subsidies reverses the spiral and moves things in the right direction.

Last week we told you that RFK Jr. helped to eliminate junk food subsidies in several states. And Pepsi— suddenly devoid of a government teet to suckle— responded by slashing prices to make up that lost revenue.

In other words, they cut subsidies and prices fell. Immediately.

It’s amazing to think how a "temporary" farm program from 1933 is still costing American taxpayers 93 years later.

Just imagine what would happen if the spiral ran the other way.

Iraqi parliamentarian: Election of a president is unlikely without prior political agreement

As pressure mounts to convene a parliamentary session to elect a new president, an Iraqi parliamentarian warned that the process could falter without a prior political agreement. Meanwhile, with the US vetoing Nouri al-Maliki's candidacy remaining in place, a leader in the Hikma Movement revealed that the coordinating body is working to identify a new candidate acceptable to all parties.

Tishwash:  The coordinating framework is looking for an alternative to Maliki.

Iraqi parliamentarian: Election of a president is unlikely without prior political agreement

As pressure mounts to convene a parliamentary session to elect a new president, an Iraqi parliamentarian warned that the process could falter without a prior political agreement. Meanwhile, with the US vetoing Nouri al-Maliki's candidacy remaining in place, a leader in the Hikma Movement revealed that the coordinating body is working to identify a new candidate acceptable to all parties.

Sunday, February 15, 2026 – Iraqi MP Faisal Al-Issawi told Kurdistan 24: “There is intense pressure within Parliament to hold a session dedicated to electing the President of the Republic during this week, but there is no tangible political agreement so far, and it is difficult to proceed with the session without consensus.”

Al-Issawi pointed out that the Speaker of the House of Representatives addressed the Federal Supreme Court to request clarification regarding Article (72)/ Paragraph Two/ Clause (B) of the Constitution, which relates to the continuation of the President of the Republic in his duties and setting a date for the election of his successor, stressing that everyone is waiting for the court’s response.

The data indicates that the main obstacle to electing a president lies in the failure to resolve the issue of the prime ministerial candidate within the "coordination framework." According to the Iraqi constitution, the candidate of the largest parliamentary bloc must be tasked with forming the government immediately after the presidential election, thus linking the two positions to each other as a single package.

In this context, Sami Al-Jizani, a member of the Wisdom Movement, stated that "the coordination framework is continuing its political efforts to break the current deadlock, especially in light of the sensitive circumstances and challenges facing the region."

Al-Jizani revealed an "anticipated political breakthrough in the next few days through the introduction of an alternative candidate," explaining that "this candidate will be chosen by consensus of the framework's forces, and must be acceptable and non-controversial at the local, regional, and international levels."

Al-Jizani added that just as the Shiite forces contributed to supporting the Sunni component to decide the election of the Speaker of Parliament, efforts are now focused within the "Shiite House" to overcome internal differences.

Although Nouri al-Maliki remains the only official candidate of the Coordination Framework for the premiership at the moment, American reservations and the refusal to assign him have pushed the Framework's forces towards searching for alternative options to ensure the government's passage.link

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

Tishwash: The Iraqi parliament resorts to the Federal Court to resolve the issue of the presidency... document

 The Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Hebat al-Halbousi, has submitted a request to the Supreme Federal Court to interpret a constitutional provision related to the election of the President of the Republic, given the inability to hold a session with a quorum for this purpose.

According to an official document issued by the Presidency of the House of Representatives, published by Shafaq News Agency, the request is based on the texts of the Constitution and the Federal Court Law, and aims to interpret Article (72/Second/B), which stipulates that the President of the Republic shall continue to exercise his duties after the end of his term until a new president is elected within thirty days from the date of the first session of the House of Representatives.

The document explained that the election of the President of the Republic was not achieved within the constitutional period, despite the House of Representatives continuing to hold its sessions, due to the lack of a legal quorum in more than one session dedicated to this purpose.

The request indicated that the council continues to hold its sessions according to the usual agenda, without including the item of electing the president of the republic, due to the lack of the required quorum, and asked the Federal Court to state the legal opinion on this matter.

The Iraqi constitution stipulates that the president must be elected within a period not exceeding 30 days from the date of the first session of the House of Representatives.

Taking into account this period from the first session held on December 29, 2025, the constitutional time limit ended on the night of January 28, 2026.  link

Tishwash: No turning back on the ASYCUDA... The government calls on traders to accept the new reality

 The Iraqi government called on Sunday (February 15, 2026) for those objecting to the implementation of the ASYCUDA system and customs tariffs to accept the new reality and comply with the law. Speaking on behalf of the government, spokesperson Bassem Al-Awadi explained that this system, which is implemented in more than 100 countries, will be applied in Iraq under international and UN supervision. He added that part of the ASYCUDA implementation is linked to Iraq's international obligations in the areas of combating money laundering, currency and goods smuggling, and international trade. He further stated that after 2003, Iraq relied on a process he termed "arbitrary" in managing customs and taxes, and that the time has come to change this process.

Al-Awadi stated in an interview with the official channel, which was followed by 964 Network , that “during the past few days with the beginnings of the implementation of the ASYCUDA system, there was some delay in the ports and many goods were delayed. According to the government’s estimates, some of them were delayed normally and others were delayed abnormally. When the government implemented the ASYCUDA system, this does not mean that there is a problem between it and the traders, but this step is an organizational process.”

Al-Awadi added, “In order to facilitate the movement of goods and make things easier for the private sector and Iraqi traders, the Iraqi government decided to zero out the government’s percentage of goods in warehouses - these warehouses are a joint facility between the ports and maritime transport, and also in cooperation with the private sector - so the government’s fees were zeroed out, and also 50% of the fees of the investing partner were zeroed out.”

Al-Awadi pointed out that “in light of the recent atmosphere that we all experienced, and the many rumors that try to make the government and the Iraqi state in general seem like something poised to harm the private sector or harm the people, and this is something that does not exist,” indicating that “the private sector and the merchant class are witnesses to the level of interaction that the government has undertaken, and in the end, only the truth will prevail.”

Al-Awadi pointed out that “trade from 2003 until today, especially with regard to taxes and customs, was more like arbitrariness. In simple terms, things were done in the form of a small container with 3 million and a large container with 4 million, regardless of what was inside the container. This was an old method that was imposed by the reality of the change after 2003, and it continued due to the repercussions and recent events.”

Al-Awadi stressed that “the ASYCUDA system is a United Nations system and was not brought by the Iraqi government. It is implemented in 102 countries around the world and is linked to the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCTAD). Part of the implementation of ASYCUDA is linked to Iraq’s international obligations in the areas of combating money laundering, smuggling of currency and goods, and international trade.”

The government spokesman stressed that “this system is not targeting a specific class, and the rumors that speak of a lack of liquidity in the Iraqi state and that is why it went towards this system are untrue. All of this is incorrect, because the process of trade, accounting and customs since 2003 was an arbitrary emergency process, and in the end, now this year or next year or after 3 years, everyone knows that these temporary matters must end and we must move towards the right things.”

Al-Awadi explained that “this new system (ASYCUDA) has been implemented, and we do not have (Quranic texts nor angels). It is an electronic automation system, operated by Iraqi teams under international and UN supervision.” He pointed out that “over time and after implementation, if there is any kind of injustice that may befall an economic class, group, or a specific type of goods, there are unions and federations of the Iraqi private sector and spokespeople for them, and the door of the Prime Minister and the Iraqi government is open to them, and it is possible to address any injustice that may affect merchants or other classes.”  link

Global Currency Reset:

Sun. 15 Feb. 2026 HISTORIC BOND REDEMPTION 2026: THE FORGOTTEN WEALTH THAT COULD SHAKE THE GLOBAL SYSTEM …Ezra Cohen on Telegram

Buried for decades. Discredited by design. Locked behind vault doors and silence. Historic bonds are not dusty antiques. They are sovereign promises tied to gold, land, and real reserves that were never fully honored.

As the financial world trembles under unsustainable debt, these instruments are being pulled back into the conversation. Not as myths. Not as collectibles. But as potential leverage against a fiat system built on expansion without backing.

THE VAULTED TRUTH

Before central banks dominated global finance, nations issued handwritten certificates backed by tangible wealth. Monarchs, treasuries, and empires signed binding obligations promising repayment in gold or secured assets.

These were the original bonds. They predate modern debt markets. They existed before currencies became detached from intrinsic value. Many were never redeemed. Instead of repayment, the world transitioned into paper money systems that allowed credit creation without hard limits.

The old obligations became inconvenient. So they were sealed away, legally disputed, politically ignored, and publicly dismissed.

WHAT ARE HISTORIC BONDS

Historic bonds are government issued debt certificates created decades or even centuries ago, often backed by gold or land reserves. Printed on parchment, embossed with official seals, and signed by state authorities.

Frequently cited examples include Chinese Dragon Bonds issued during the Qing era, German pre World War II bonds linked to reparations, Philippine Victory Notes issued after World War II, and bonds tied to post World War I restructuring agreements. They were not symbolic. They represented real value.

WHY THEY WERE NOT HONORED: After World War II, the Bretton Woods framework centralized financial power and gradually shifted the world toward fiat currency.

 Honoring massive gold linked obligations would have required transferring substantial wealth back to sovereign holders and legacy trusts. It would have exposed layers of synthetic debt stacked over unresolved sovereign promises.

So the narrative changed. If it is old, it is invalid. If it is not in the digital system, it does not matter. But age alone does not cancel a contract.

WHO HOLDS THEM: Most people will never see a historic bond. Some remain in private safes, generational trusts, royal archives, and sovereign foundations. Certain tribal councils and legacy families claim custodianship of forgotten national wealth instruments.

If even a fraction of these claims were verified and legally enforced, the implications would ripple across global balance sheets.

WHY THEY MATTER NOW: Because they represent a challenge to unchecked debt expansion. Redemption of legitimate instruments could force re evaluation of sovereign liabilities, reserve disclosures, and the relationship between gold and currency. It shifts the debate from printed credit to verifiable backing. From abstraction to substance.

FRAUD WARNING: Where mystery exists, scams follow. Digital only certificates, unverifiable prosperity packages, and bonds with no documented chain of custody flood online spaces. No lineage. No original signatures. No embossing. No legal documentation. No value. Authenticity requires documented history, notarization, and enforceable recognition under international law.

FINAL THOUGHT: Historic bonds symbolize unresolved chapters of global finance.

Whether they become catalysts for reform or remain locked in litigation depends on verification, law, and geopolitical will. History is not always erased. Sometimes it is sealed in vaults, waiting for the moment when someone demands that a promise backed by gold be honored.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

India Expands Cross-Border Payment Power Under RBI Oversight

Full Authorization Signals India’s Push Toward Integrated Global Settlement Rails

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

India Expands Cross-Border Payment Power Under RBI Oversight

Full Authorization Signals India’s Push Toward Integrated Global Settlement Rails

 Overview

India has taken another decisive step in strengthening its financial infrastructure. In-Solutions Global Ltd has received full authorization from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate across online, offline, and cross-border payment aggregation under the country’s updated regulatory framework.

The approval enables the company to deliver a unified merchant payments stack spanning domestic and international transactions — reinforcing India’s ambition to lead in regulated digital payments innovation.

Key Developments

• In-Solutions Global Ltd now holds comprehensive authorization as a payment aggregator.
• Approval covers online, physical (offline), and cross-border transactions.
• The move aligns with India’s modernized payments regulatory structure.
• Merchants gain access to integrated domestic and international settlement capabilities.

India already operates one of the world’s most advanced real-time domestic payment ecosystems. Expanding regulated cross-border aggregation strengthens its ability to influence regional and global payment corridors.

Why It Matters

Cross-border payments remain one of the most expensive and friction-heavy components of global finance. By expanding regulated payment aggregation under central bank supervision, India is:

• Increasing settlement efficiency
• Enhancing compliance oversight
• Strengthening monetary control over outbound and inbound flows
• Positioning itself as a major fintech infrastructure hub

This is sovereign-led modernization — not deregulated experimentation.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• More efficient cross-border rails can shift trade settlement behavior.
• Regulated infrastructure increases transparency in international transactions.
• Strong central bank oversight preserves currency stability during digital expansion.
• Expanded payment corridors can influence regional trade dynamics.

Payment rails shape capital flow. Capital flow shapes currency power.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Infrastructure Sovereignty

India is reinforcing central bank authority while expanding digital capability.

Pillar 2: Cross-Border Modernization

Integrated merchant stacks reduce reliance on fragmented correspondent banking systems.

Structural resets do not happen overnight — they begin with infrastructure upgrades like this.

This is not just a fintech approval — it is sovereign payment strategy in motion.

U.S. Banking Leaders Engage White House on Crypto Market Structure

Digital Asset Regulation Moves From Periphery to Policy Core

Overview

Digital asset regulation is entering a new phase in the United States. A White House crypto market structure meeting convened major banking trade organizations including the American Bankers Association, Bank Policy Institute, and Independent Community Bankers of America.

The discussion focused on crafting regulatory frameworks that balance innovation in digital assets with financial system stability.

Key Developments

• Banking trade groups participated directly in policy dialogue.
• Discussions centered on crypto market structure and regulatory clarity.
• Emphasis was placed on protecting financial safety while fostering innovation.
• Institutional banking voices are now shaping digital asset rules.

This represents a notable shift from earlier years when crypto operated largely outside traditional banking consensus.

Why It Matters

Regulatory clarity determines whether digital assets integrate into the financial core — or remain on the margins.

By engaging policymakers:

• Banks are signaling willingness to participate in digital finance.
• Regulators are acknowledging crypto as part of systemic finance.
• Collaboration reduces the likelihood of fragmented or reactionary rulemaking.
• The groundwork is being laid for structured digital asset integration.

This is no longer a fringe conversation — it is structural financial policy.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• Regulatory certainty reduces volatility in digital markets.
 Integration of crypto rails into banking strengthens systemic stability.
• Clear frameworks encourage institutional capital participation.
 Stable digital settlement infrastructure can influence global liquidity flows.

Monetary transformation without regulation creates chaos. Regulation without innovation creates stagnation. This meeting signals an attempt to balance both.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Institutional Legitimization

Crypto is moving inside the policy tent rather than operating outside it.

Pillar 2: Controlled Digital Transition

Regulated integration ensures that traditional banks remain central to monetary infrastructure even as digital rails expand.

Financial resets occur when rules, rails, and institutions realign. This is part of that alignment.

This is not just a meeting — it is digital finance entering formal governance.

BRICS Moves Toward Independent Metals Exchange and Gold-Backed Trade System

Special Economic Zones to Anchor New Pricing Power Outside Western Financial Control

Overview

The BRICS bloc is accelerating plans to launch a dedicated Precious Metals Exchange, marking another strategic step toward financial independence from Western-dominated systems.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov confirmed on February 14, 2026, that the exchange will operate within special economic zones across member nations. The initiative will function alongside a BRICS gold currency pilot and a proposed grain exchange.

The objective is clear: establish independent pricing mechanisms and reduce exposure to sanctions, tariffs, and volatility tied to Western financial infrastructure.

Key Developments

• The BRICS Precious Metals Exchange has been designated a priority initiative by Russian officials.
• The platform will operate through special economic zones present across most BRICS nations.
• A grain exchange is also under development as part of the broader commodity strategy.
• The initiative builds upon agreements endorsed at the 2024 Kazan Summit.

Ryabkov stated that the exchange would be “a very important initiative” and emphasized its strategic relevance amid sanctions pressure.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov added that creating a metals trading mechanism within BRICS would foster “fair and equitable competition based on exchange principles.”

BRICS Gold Developments and Pricing Independence

The metals exchange aligns with broader gold initiatives already underway.

The bloc launched a gold-backed settlement pilot known as the “Unit” on October 31, 2025. The structure reportedly consists of 40% gold backing and 60% member currencies.

BRICS gold prices surged above $5,600 per ounce in January 2026 before stabilizing within projected ranges between $4,500 and $5,500. Officials are positioning the exchange as a vehicle to:

• Reduce dependence on SWIFT messaging systems
• Limit exposure to Western commodities exchanges such as the London Metal Exchange
• Enable settlement in national currencies
• Strengthen autonomy in cross-border trade

Ryabkov stated that while American sanctions and tariffs pose risks, member nations are not prepared to “succumb to pressure.”

The metals exchange is expected to include gold, platinum, diamonds, rare earth minerals, and potentially other strategic commodities.

Implementation Timeline

Officials have not announced a firm launch date. However, Russian statements indicate a target of reaching operational status by 2030.

The initiative is part of a broader architecture shift endorsed during the 2024 BRICS summit in Kazan, which included:

• Alternative payment platforms
• Settlement systems in national currencies
• Reinsurance mechanisms for intra-bloc trade

Together, these components represent a coordinated effort to reshape commodity pricing power and settlement infrastructure.

Why It Matters

Commodity exchanges determine global pricing benchmarks.

If BRICS establishes a functional, liquid metals exchange operating outside Western systems, it could:

• Influence global gold pricing dynamics
• Shift settlement patterns away from dollar-denominated trade
 Increase leverage for commodity-producing nations
• Reduce sanctions vulnerability

Pricing power is financial power.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

• A gold-linked settlement framework alters reserve dynamics.
• Independent pricing benchmarks could challenge London- and New York-based exchanges.
• Commodity-backed trade corridors strengthen non-dollar settlement ecosystems.
• Gradual infrastructure rollout reduces sudden market shock while preparing structural change.

This is not merely about metals trading — it is about control over valuation mechanisms.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Commodity Pricing Sovereignty

A BRICS exchange introduces alternative benchmark formation outside Western exchanges.

Pillar 2: Settlement Diversification

Gold-linked instruments and national currency settlement reduce reliance on dollar-based clearing systems.

Financial resets begin when pricing systems shift. Commodity markets are foundational to that structure.

This is not just trade policy — it is a strategic rebalancing of global financial infrastructure.

🌱 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.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 2-16-26

Nouri Al-Maliki’s New Doctrine For Power: Pragmatism Over Defiance?

2026-02-14    Shafaq News  On January 24, 2026, the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), currently the largest bloc in Iraq’s parliament, named former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki as its nominee for the country’s next premier, reopening one of Iraq’s most consequential political debates. The response was immediate. Debate intensified in Baghdad, regional capitals recalculated their positions, and Washington issued warnings.

Iraq once again stands at a familiar crossroads, this time under heavier internal strain and sharper external scrutiny. The question is not simply whether Al-Maliki is returning, but whether he returns unchanged or as a political figure reshaped by conflict, experience, and years outside executive office.

Nouri Al-Maliki’s New Doctrine For Power: Pragmatism Over Defiance?

2026-02-14    Shafaq News  On January 24, 2026, the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), currently the largest bloc in Iraq’s parliament, named former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki as its nominee for the country’s next premier, reopening one of Iraq’s most consequential political debates. The response was immediate. Debate intensified in Baghdad, regional capitals recalculated their positions, and Washington issued warnings.

Iraq once again stands at a familiar crossroads, this time under heavier internal strain and sharper external scrutiny. The question is not simply whether Al-Maliki is returning, but whether he returns unchanged or as a political figure reshaped by conflict, experience, and years outside executive office.

Pragmatism over Pride

Sovereignty once defined Al-Maliki’s political vocabulary. During his two terms between 2006 and 2014, he projected a sharp, defiant posture, frequently framing his leadership as resistance to foreign interference, particularly from the United States. His second term (2010–2014) in particular unfolded amid visible tension with Washington, reinforcing the image of a leader intent on consolidating national authority despite mounting political costs.

The environment in 2026 differs markedly. US President Donald Trump has openly warned against Al-Maliki’s return, signaling the possibility of severe measures. Speaking to Shafaq News, political analyst Ahmed Youssef referred to Washington’s explicit objection, noting that Trump described Al-Maliki’s reappointment as a path that could return Iraq to “poverty and comprehensive chaos,” invoking the period when ISIS seized major provinces before Iraq declared victory in 2017.

The implications extend beyond rhetoric as Iraq’s economy remains structurally vulnerable. Its banking channels, oil revenue mechanisms, and access to international financial systems remain deeply intertwined with global institutions.

Any US sanctions or reduction in support would carry tangible domestic consequences, affecting currency stability, military cooperation, and reconstruction financing. “A confrontation with Washington today would not be confined to speeches; it would seep into Iraqi daily life,” Youssef warned.

Inside Iraq, reactions have been defensive. Aref Al-Hammami, a senior figure in the State of Law Coalition (SLC) headed by Al-Maliki, described any retreat from the candidacy under foreign pressure as “a political setback affecting all components of the country,” underscoring that Iraq is a sovereign state. The message was direct: external objections should not determine internal political decisions.

The caution, however, is more visible across the broader political arena. Abdulrahman Al-Jazaeri, head of the political bureau of the Tribal Movement in Iraq, pointed to a subtle but important shift within the CF. The next prime minister, he argued, should enjoy “regional acceptability,” citing reservations expressed by major figures within the Framework, including the Al-Hikma Movement led by Ammar Al-Hakim and Asaib Ahl Al-Haq headed by Qais Al-Khazali.

Al-Maliki’s own rhetoric reflects that recalibration. Faced with Trump’s warnings, he has avoided confrontation. Rather than revive the language of resistance, he has focused on “stability,” “investment,” “job opportunities,” and “completing reconstruction.” The shift appears calculated —an effort, as Ahmed Youssef assessed, to reassure external actors while navigating domestic contestation.

‘’Al-Maliki still represents a period rejected by segments of both the Iraqi public and parts of the international community,’’ he observed, noting that even though the language may be softer, the structural constraints remain.

Arming the State

If sovereignty defines one axis of scrutiny, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) —inseparable from Al-Maliki’s political legacy— define another.

Formed in 2014 following a fatwa by top Shiite cleric Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani amid an unprecedented security collapse, the PMF played a decisive role in confronting ISIS. Its membership stands at around 200,000, comprising about 70 factions from various religious and ethnic backgrounds, though it remains predominantly Shiite. The Iraqi parliament later formalized these factions under the PMF Law, designating the force as a supporting body alongside the Iraqi Armed Forces, both under the authority of the prime minister as commander-in-chief.

Al-Maliki emerged as one of the PMF’s most prominent political defenders, and his previous tenure became closely associated with its rise as an influential actor within Iraq’s security architecture. After the 2025 parliamentary elections, however, his language shifted. He now refers to “restricting arms to the state” and ensuring “one army comprising all components under the command of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.” At the same time, he rejected reports of dissolving the PMF, maintaining that any development should preserve its strength and reinforce its combat readiness rather than weaken it.

Speaking to Shafaq News, Aref Al-Hammami portrayed this framing as national and reassuring, arguing that it does not target any specific group. Discussions over weapons held by factions, he added, fall within an “internal, fraternal relationship” that can be addressed domestically.

Meanwhile, political observer Abu Mithaq Al-Massari interpreted the adjustment not as a reversal but as an elevation of state-centered rhetoric suited to a sensitive political phase. Al-Maliki has not distanced himself from the PMF; he has repositioned the discussion.

For international partners, domestic rivals, and an Iraqi public fatigued by overlapping chains of command, the weapons file remains central. Any incoming government will be assessed by its ability to assert coherent security authority. The shift, therefore, is not a retreat from the PMF but an effort to embed it more clearly within the framework of centralized state power.

Realpolitik on Rails

Syria presents another test of tone and approach. In earlier years, Al-Maliki’s position toward Ahmad Al-Sharaa, known as Abu Mohammad Al-Julani when he led Haya’at Tharir Al-Sham, was unequivocal. He labeled him a terrorist, reflecting Iraqi anxieties over Al-Sharaa's previous role within ISIS in Iraq, the cross-border militancy, and the spillover of Syria’s conflict into Iraqi territory.

That stance aligned with a broader security-first posture shaped by the aftermath of 2011 and the rise of armed groups operating across porous borders.

Following the 2025 elections, the tone shifted. Al-Maliki signaled openness toward engagement with regional actors, including Syria. The adjustment does not abandon security concerns. Rather, it reflects recalculation shaped by geography and necessity. The Iraqi–Syrian border remains a zone of vulnerability, where infiltration risks, energy corridors, oil routes, and humanitarian transit converge.

Iraqi officials indicated that Baghdad seeks strategic stability that preserves internal sovereignty while enabling structured dialogue with Damascus based on national interests. The regional environment has also evolved. Some Arab states, particularly Gulf countries, have recalibrated their posture toward Syria, while US priorities shifted during the Trump phase. At home, pressure favors border stabilization over rhetorical confrontation, steering policy from individual labeling toward state-to-state management.

Quiet Tehran Ties

Al-Maliki has long been viewed as maintaining close ties with Tehran, particularly during the ISIS occupation of large parts of Iraq, when security coordination intensified.

Iranian officials have signaled support for any candidate agreed upon within the CF without publicly endorsing a specific name, effectively offering political cover without overt sponsorship. As Al-Maliki’s recent public messages concentrate more on institutional stability and state authority —and place less visible emphasis on external alliances— the recalibration appears deliberate.

Openly foregrounding ties with Tehran risks amplifying domestic polarization and complicating relations with Sunni and Kurdish factions, as well as Washington. Strategically, the approach suggests balance rather than rupture. The relationship with Iran remains intact, but it is conveyed with greater discretion.

A Return Shaped by Experience

Al-Maliki is not an emerging political figure testing authority. He governed for eight years and left office during one of the most turbulent chapters in Iraq’s modern history. The collapse of provinces, the war against ISIS, and years of internal polarization defined his tenure.

He now seeks not to consolidate authority for the first time, but to restore political legitimacy —a distinction that carries weight. In his second term, he spoke from the position of incumbent authority. Today, he operates as a candidate navigating objections: domestic fragmentation, Shiite hesitation, American warnings, and speculation about sanctions.

The experience of power and the cost of crisis appear to have reshaped his tone. Confrontation carries consequences. Institutional paralysis carries consequences, and economic rupture definitely carries consequences.

His recent discourse reflects a political actor more attentive to balance than confrontation. This is not a declared ideological revision, but a recalibrated method. Whether that recalibration signals a deeper transformation or merely strategic repositioning remains the defining question.

What is clear is that 2026 is not 2012. Al-Maliki’s path back to power runs not through the vocabulary of his past, but through careful management of Iraq’s present.

Venezuelan Oil Revenue Currencies Likely to Rise against the USD in the Next 30 Days

Venezuelan Oil Revenue Currencies Likely to Rise against the USD in the Next 30 Days

Edu Matrix:

The world of finance is ever-changing, with trends and opportunities emerging and fading with the passing days.

For investors looking to stay ahead of the curve, understanding the current landscape is crucial. In a recent Edu Matrix video, financial expert Sandy Ingram shared her insights into the upcoming currency profit opportunities over the next 30 days, delving into the intricacies of foreign exchange markets, precious metals, and the cryptocurrency landscape, particularly Bitcoin.

Venezuelan Oil Revenue Currencies Likely to Rise against the USD in the Next 30 Days

Edu Matrix:

The world of finance is ever-changing, with trends and opportunities emerging and fading with the passing days.

For investors looking to stay ahead of the curve, understanding the current landscape is crucial. In a recent Edu Matrix video, financial expert Sandy Ingram shared her insights into the upcoming currency profit opportunities over the next 30 days, delving into the intricacies of foreign exchange markets, precious metals, and the cryptocurrency landscape, particularly Bitcoin.

Let’s dive into the key takeaways from her analysis and explore the potential opportunities and risks in various investment sectors.

Sandy Ingram emphasizes the significance of diversifying one’s investment portfolio, particularly through the acquisition of precious metals like silver and gold.

She advocates for a strategy of buying small amounts of these metals on a regular basis. This approach not only helps in mitigating risks associated with market volatility but also allows investors to accumulate wealth over time.

Furthermore, she suggests considering direct shipment of these metals to one’s home once a certain threshold is reached, providing a tangible asset that can be held securely.

One of the more intriguing investment opportunities highlighted by Sandy is in the Venezuelan real estate market. Due to the country’s economic turmoil, land and homes are available at remarkably low prices, presenting what Sandy describes as a window for savvy investors.

 Drawing parallels with Iraq, she notes that the U.S. is playing a role in overseeing Venezuelan oil sales to ensure that the revenue generated is used legitimately and to prevent a complete economic collapse. This intervention has led to billions of dollars in oil revenue flowing back into Venezuela, potentially signaling a recovery and making it an attractive time for real estate investments.

The near-term outlook for the U.S. dollar is expected to be soft, driven by stabilizing or potentially declining interest rates in the U.S. This weakening of the dollar could have a ripple effect, leading to the strengthening of several other currencies.

 Sandy points out that currencies such as the Japanese yen, euro, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, and commodity-linked currencies like the Australian and Canadian dollars may benefit from this shift.

Understanding the factors driving these changes, including interest rate expectations and trade developments, is crucial for investors looking to capitalize on currency fluctuations.

The discussion on Bitcoin centers around its recent decline, attributed to high interest rates making safer assets more attractive, profit-taking by large investors, regulatory uncertainty, and a steady or slightly stronger U.S. dollar.

Currently, investors are cautious, often preferring traditional assets over cryptocurrencies until clearer economic signals emerge. This cautious stance presents both challenges and opportunities for those invested in or looking to enter the cryptocurrency market.

The financial landscape is complex and multifaceted, with opportunities and risks present across various sectors. Sandy’s insights from the Edu Matrix video provide a comprehensive overview of the current trends in foreign exchange markets, precious metals, real estate, and cryptocurrencies.

 By understanding these dynamics and diversifying investments accordingly, investors can better navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that lie ahead. For those looking to deepen their understanding and stay informed, watching the full Edu Matrix video is a valuable next step.
