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
Member: Good Morning we are one day closer to our Blessing
Member: Hoping Mark has some good news today.
MZ: We do have a few exciting things to talks about.
Member: Are there any bond updates?
MZ: I have some bond folks who say they will absolutely know every bit of their schedule after tomorrow. I have a couple who are saying they will get their final updates. I am getting this from several different bond historic bond sources in different parts of the world. They are expecting big news tomorrow on timing.
MZ: At the same time groups are expecting their final announcements this week but have not been able to confirm this yet. One of these groups are one of the biggest. (not quite as big as the Admirals group but close). They were told its time to check in. I am hoping one of these groups will be the General 64 group…and that we will soon hear something from them
Member: Do you know what percentage of 4a is done?
MZ: I hear some may have liquidity…but the phone call this morning about groups has me excited. I think groups are positioning and some of them have funds ready to distribute. But I do not think any are done. That is my opinion. I think they may be getting paid starting this week.
Member: If 4A is confirmed paid where does that put us?
Member: Well- if we are tier 4b….that would allegedly put us next!
MZ: In Iraq: I hear they are going to pull the trigger on the caretaker or transitional government and give Sudani back all the normal powers of the Prime Minister…..then deal with the rest after the Iranian conflict is over. This gives them the opportunity to move forward quickly. This could get us off of “stuck”
Member: Interesting how Sudani said he would make the dinar the father of the dollar in his first term. If they extend his term wouldn’t that technically still be his first term?
Member: So Iraq had elections in November and they still don’t have a govt sat, and I thought Usa elections were messed up!
Member: (From Dinar Guru) Mnt Goat : There is a tremendous opportunity under the current president Trump administration to finally get this currency reform project done.We can see the writing is on the wall to reinstate the dinar but these Iranian issues must resolved first if the US is going to work with Iraq to rebuild its economy. Trump is not about to have American companies come into Iraq at the level needed to support the massive rebuilding of their economy without security and stability. We can clearly see these Iranian issues are coming to the forefront now and being exposed for what they really are. This is a good thing...a VERY GOOD thing
MZ: I can agree with that. The question is what is real and what is not?
Member:Iraq had meeting with WTO on March 4th.
MZ: I know we have been seeing more chatter about joining the WTO again.
Member: Genius Act passed in July 2025...Also hearing Today is the last day deadline for Basel III with all banks
Member: NESARA - Mark, X22 did a 30 min podcast “Ep3858a Could Trump use the 14th amendment section 4 to remove debt.” Sounds a lot like NESARA in his podcast.
MZ: Sounds like Nesara to me as well.
Member: So we are looking at a April RV?
MZ: I still think there is a good chance we go end of March….and early April. But things are very cloudy right now.
Member: April is the start of the second quarter.
Member: didn’t Shabibi always say the best time to RV was the start of a quarter?
Member: And St Germain trust is allegedly easiest to open at Easter and Christmas. Easter is April 5th
Member: Exciting news for Monday morning. Thanks MarkZ
Member: I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, thanks MarkZ and the Mods!

Global Currency Reset:
Sat. 14 March 2026 The Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currencies worldwide is happening right now. Foreign currency and ZIM Bond holders in Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) should watch for emails from Wells Fargo that will tell you how to set up your foreign currency exchange/ZIM Bond redemption appointments. …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram
During the first week of April, 2026 Redemption Centers will start processing live appointments in accordance with full GESARA protocol. The schedule is already being filled with authorized [Tier 4B] participants, according to sources within two U.S. Treasury branches. We’ve all been ready for this moment. …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram
Sun. 15 March 2026 Final GCR Synchronization Phase …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram
Global System Alignment: Financial networks across multiple regions are now (allegedly) aligning their settlement systems with the quantum-secured infrastructure that has been prepared and tested for years. Once the switch is officially recognized, all participating systems will update simultaneously worldwide.
Notification Phase: Activation alerts will (allegedly) begin appearing through secure app updates, encrypted wallet notifications, or coordinated system messages. These alerts will guide users through the first steps of accessing the updated financial interface.
Wallet Access: After activation, users will (allegedly) log into their QFS wallet interface, where updated balances, digital assets, and synchronized financial records will appear. Every change will be permanently recorded on the quantum ledger, ensuring full transparency and verification.
Transition Stage: The infrastructure is stable and fully prepared. Recent system tests confirmed that the network can operate securely, offline, and without disruption while processing global transaction volume.
Everything is aligned. We are now at the threshold of the public activation of the new financial system.
What takes place in a Redemption Center?
• Biometric authentication will be (allegedly) used to verify your identity.
• Asset-backed rates will be(allegedly) used to verify and exchange your ZIM, Dinar, and Dong holdings.
• A digital quantum card that is directly linked to your sovereign QFS wallet will be(allegedly) given to you.
• You will (allegedly) receive an overview of project support funds, debt clearance, and post-exchange asset management.
Places are strictly regulated. Not a single drop-in. Be prepared as you will receive a direct encrypted alert with your time slot.
Security Procedures
• Military-grade encryption and surveillance are used to safeguard these facilities
• The quantum ledger records every action, which cannot be removed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Judy Note:We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is (allegedly) owned by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments.
It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank.
You can (allegedly) only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can (allegedly) only be given at a RC and banks will (allegedly) offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC.
It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System.

Jeff Iraq is supposed to have 2 sessions of parliament every week. They've had one session of parliament in the last many weeks. Trump made it very clear he will not tolerate or allow any type of Iranian influence within the country of Iraq. That's why forward movement within Iraq is not happening. Everything in Iraq right now is paused and delayed for the Iran war to come to an end. Then the Lynch pin to the rate change is the formation of Iraq's government...They're suggesting the war...doesn't have too much longer to go.
Mnt Goat Article: “100 TRILLION DINARS HELD IN HOMES: WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS FUEL A “CASH ECONOMY,” BUT THE CENTRAL BANK OFFERS REASSURANCE.” ... what is the CBI going to do about it to fix the problem? Again, I am telling you that the only fix is to revalue the dinar over the dollar and expire these large three zero notes. This will drive the citizens to turn in this cash. However, at the same time the CBI must also implement the digital dinar and allow for its use. So, again this article is telling us this project to delete the zeros is way overdue.This reluctance to do it is political and is we know why now it is being held up...
Mnt Goat There is a tremendous opportunity under the current president Trump administration to finally get this currency reform project done.We can see the writing is on the wall to reinstate the dinar but these Iranian issues must resolved first if the US is going to work with Iraq to rebuild its economy. Trump is not about to have American companies come into Iraq at the level needed to support the massive rebuilding of their economy without security and stability.

Silver's Undeniable Future: 20X Silver & The Global Monetary Shift | Mike Maloney
GoldSilver: 3-12-2026
In this video, Mike Maloney analyzes a bold theory about a silent monetary revolution driven by silver and de-dollarization.
Mike Maloney reviews the claim that after 2022 sanctions, Russia rejected Indian Rupees for oil, leading to a new, non-dollar trade loop using UAE Dirhams and Chinese Yuan.
The key assertion is that Russia is using the Yuan to buy physical silver, causing the silver price to correlate with the INR-CNY exchange rate.
Maloney confirms the de-dollarization trend is a "huge nail in the coffin" for the dollar's global reserve status. However, he expresses skepticism, emphasizing that correlation does not prove causation and questioning the claim that silver has truly detached from COMEX pricing yet.
He concludes that the end of the fiat system is inevitable but a slow-moving process.
6 Signs That You Are Too Obsessed With Making Money Now
6 Signs That You Are Too Obsessed With Making Money Now
By Todd Kunsman Make Money
Making money is something I’ve been working on quite a bit the last few years to better my financial health.
Yet, at times I also found myself becoming a bit too obsessed with making money now and the pursuit of wanting to get rich. I think it’s a natural feeling for many in our society.
However, I’ve been fortunate enough to catch myself and ensure I do not make it my entire life either.
6 Signs That You Are Too Obsessed With Making Money Now
By Todd Kunsman Make Money
Making money is something I’ve been working on quite a bit the last few years to better my financial health.
Yet, at times I also found myself becoming a bit too obsessed with making money now and the pursuit of wanting to get rich. I think it’s a natural feeling for many in our society.
However, I’ve been fortunate enough to catch myself and ensure I do not make it my entire life either.
Life is short and anything can change in an instant. So while money is important to our lives, it should not be all that matters.
Below are a few signs that might signal you are becoming too obsessed with making money or getting rich fast.
1. All You Talk About Is Money
That’s rich coming from a personal finance nerd like me, right? (That’s rich, get it? #MoneyPuns)
As much as I do think about money, it’s not something I talk about constantly to everyone in my life. It can be a touchy subject to some, plus there is plenty of topics to discuss with others about besides money.
If you find that every word you speak or most of your conversations lead to making money, getting rich, or how much you’re making, try to find ways to dial it back. You shouldn’t have money on your brain 24/7.
2. You Stress Yourself Out Trying to Get Rich
Money is stressful and managing personal finances can be too. But if your obsession with getting rich and chasing the “almighty dollar” is stressing you out, you may be too obsessive.
I’m all about working hard and chasing financial independence, but if it is affecting your mental and physical well-being, it’s time to re-evaluate your goals.
Ask yourself, “Is trying to make money or get rich worth the toll it has on my body and mind?”
3. You Jump On Every Money Making Idea
Since making money now is a heavy priority, anytime some new way to make money comes up, you’re the first one to jump on it.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to try something new, but it can become a problem if you never see something through and jump to the next thing right away.
By doing this, you aren’t putting 100% of your focus on something and can get frustrated when it doesn’t work out. This can take a serious toll on your mind.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 3-16-26
Hormuz Blockade Threatens Iraq’s Cash Buffer
2026-03-15 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq’s economy is under severe pressure as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz slashes oil exports, threatening the government’s ability to pay salaries, pensions, and cover essential expenses. The disruption follows the war that erupted on February 28, 2026, between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, cutting Iraqi oil production by two-thirds.
Hormuz Blockade Threatens Iraq’s Cash Buffer
2026-03-15 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq’s economy is under severe pressure as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz slashes oil exports, threatening the government’s ability to pay salaries, pensions, and cover essential expenses. The disruption follows the war that erupted on February 28, 2026, between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other, cutting Iraqi oil production by two-thirds.
According to Eco Iraq, oil revenues make up roughly 90-95% of Iraq’s federal budget, leaving the country highly vulnerable to any drop in exports or prices. Production has fallen from 4.3 million barrels per day to 1.3 million, while exports have dropped below 800,000 barrels daily, causing daily losses of $128 million.
Revenue Pressure
Economist Ahmed Abdul Rabih linked delayed salaries directly to Iraq’s reliance on oil income. “Any disruption in oil exports or a decline in prices directly reduces the liquidity available to the government, putting pressure on its ability to cover operational costs, especially with rising public spending and an expanding workforce,” Abdul Rabih conveyed to Shafaq News.
Despite the drop in revenues, Iraq retains over $100 billion in cash reserves at the US Federal Reserve and roughly 170 tons of gold. Central bank economist Safwan Qusay reported that the Strait of Hormuz closure has cut oil income by $200-300 million per day, though reserves remain about 27% above the level needed to support the Iraqi dinar.
“These reserves could allow the Central Bank (CBI) to fund public spending of $20-30 billion over the next six months, giving the government time to manage the crisis,” Qusay added.
Public Confidence
Central bank data show a 10.95% decline in bank deposits in 2025, equal to roughly 12 trillion dinars. Analysts attribute this to public caution amid economic and security uncertainty, with many citizens holding cash outside the banking system.
Rashid al-Saadi, spokesperson for the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce, pointed out Iraq’s structural economic imbalances, including heavy dependence on oil and limited investment in other sectors.
“Current financial reserves may allow the government to cover salaries for six months to a year, according to official estimates, but if the crisis continues, it raises questions about the state’s ability to maintain public spending at the same level,” al-Saadi explained to Shafaq News.
Alternative Exports
With southern ports mostly inactive, the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline in Turkiye has emerged as a key alternative, though its capacity is limited compared with pre-crisis exports exceeding four million barrels per day. Al-Saadi noted that trucking or land-based transport can replace only a small portion of lost shipments.
He also recommended exploring additional regional export routes through ports such as Aqaba or Baniyas, and expanding non-oil revenue to reduce dependence on oil exports.
High Financial Commitments
Iraq requires about 9 trillion dinars ($6.8 billion) each month to cover operational expenses, including salaries, pensions, and social programs. Analysts warn that prolonged export disruptions could force the government to tap foreign reserves, potentially affecting currency stability if the situation persists.
The Ministry of Finance confirmed that salaries for March and April are secured, but ongoing disruptions could make future months more financially sensitive, emphasizing that Iraq’s ability to manage the crisis hinges on the duration of export interruptions and success in finding alternative routes or boosting non-oil income.

Iraq Clinches Decade-Long Lead In Turkish Housing Market
2026-03-16 Shafaq News- Ankara Iraq has emerged as the top foreign buyer of real estate in Turkiye over the past decade, purchasing more than 51,900 homes between 2015 and 2025, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) reported on Sunday.
According to the data, Iraqis narrowly surpassed Russians, who bought around 50,700 units during the same period. Iran ranked third with nearly 43,600 homes, followed by Ukraine with 38,200. Other leading foreign buyers included Saudi Arabia with 27,300 units, Kuwait with 16,800, and Germany with 15,400.
TURKSTAT also noted that Iraqi purchases started to decline after 2020, affected by economic fluctuations and changes in Turkiye’s property regulations. Despite the slowdown, Iraq maintained a strong presence, ranking second in 2020 behind Iran and third in 2022 after Russia and Iran

BP Pulls Foreign Staff From Kirkuk Oil Projects Over Security Concerns
2026-03-16 Shafaq News- Kirkuk British energy company BP has withdrawn several foreign employees from oil field development projects in Iraq’s Kirkuk province as a precaution amid rising regional security tensions, sources at the state-run North Oil Company (NOC) revealed on Monday.
The sources told Shafaq News that BP informed Iraq’s Oil Ministry and the NOC of its decision to pull out foreign personnel working within technical and advisory teams supporting the development of Kirkuk’s oil fields —including Kirkuk, Bai Hassan, Jambur, and Khabbaz, some of Iraq’s most significant and oldest producing reservoirs.
BP is cooperating with the North Oil Company on a program aimed at modernizing several oil fields in Kirkuk province, improving infrastructure for production and transport, and increasing output from reservoirs.
According to the sources, NOC currently produces around 325,000 barrels per day from fields under its management in Kirkuk and nearby areas.
Speaking with our agency, oil expert Ali Khalil explained that the withdrawal of foreign staff does not signal a suspension of the project but may slow technical tasks requiring direct supervision from international specialists, particularly advanced geological studies and reservoir development programs.
He added that international companies often adopt precautionary measures during periods of heightened security risk to protect personnel and reduce operational exposure.
The move follows heightened regional tensions after coordinated US and Israeli strikes on sites inside Iran, which prompted Tehran to launch missile and drone attacks on Israel and US military bases in the region, including Iraq, where Iran-aligned armed factions have launched attacks on American forces.
Earlier this month, more than 100 BP employees —out of roughly 650 staff working with the company— departed for Kuwait due to unstable security conditions. Experts from Chinese companies operating in oil fields in Basra province also left the area under similar circumstances.

Tishwash: US oil companies warn Trump administration of worsening energy crisis due to the Strait of Hormuz
US oil companies have warned President Donald Trump's administration that the energy crisis could worsen if supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important oil chokepoints, are disrupted.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the oil industry indicated that continued supply disruptions could lead to higher oil prices and disruption to global energy markets.
The companies stressed that the crisis could worsen if shipping traffic through the vital strait continues to be disrupted, warning of the impact this could have on local and international oil and fuel supplies. link

Tishwash: Calls to regulate markets and protect citizens' purchasing power
Residents of Ramadi have called for stricter market controls during the final days of Ramadan and the lead-up to Eid al-Fitr, to prevent some merchants from exploiting the situation and raising prices excessively for families.
They emphasized that these price hikes place a heavy burden on families and limit their ability to meet their Eid needs, urging official authorities to regulate the markets and ensure that citizens can purchase their necessities without additional financial strain. link

Tishwash: Prime Minister Sudani warns war poses risk of ‘serious consequences’ for Iraq
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani warned Saturday that the regional war has expanded and now threatens Iraq’s infrastructure, energy supplies and supply chains, while insisting that decisions on war and peace rest solely with the state.
“The war has expanded and all parties are now facing an imminent danger,” Sudani said during a meeting with Shia and Sunni religious figures, adding that Iraq faces “major challenges” his government is working to address.
“The state, through its institutions, is the authority concerned with the decision of war,” he said. Iran-aligned armed groups, some of which are formally incorporated into Iraq’s security forces, have already entered the conflict, launching drone and rocket attacks on targets across federal Iraq, the Kurdistan Region and elsewhere in the region.
Sudani condemned attacks on diplomatic missions and coalition forces headquarters in Iraq, warning they expose the country to “serious consequences.” The U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad’s Green Zone was struck early Saturday, with thick smoke seen rising from the compound. The UAE Consulate General in Erbil was hit the same day, the second attack on it in a week, wounding two security guards.
“The state, through its constitutional institutions, will continue pursuing those involved in this condemned and rejected act,” he said.
He also condemned strikes on PMF members within Iraq’s security forces. “We will not accept our service members being exposed to such threats and we will do everything within our power to protect them,” Sudani said — hours after warplanes struck several PMF positions in Tuz Khurmatu district, wounding four fighters, two seriously.
Neither the United States nor Israel has claimed responsibility for strikes on PMF positions in Iraq. The PMF said Thursday that 32 airstrikes have hit its positions across seven governorates since the war began Feb. 28.
Iran-aligned factions under the Islamic Resistance in Iraq umbrella, including Kataib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Kataib Imam Ali and Harakat al-Nujaba, have claimed responsibility for numerous drone and rocket attacks on alleged U.S.-linked targets since the war began. link
Mot:**The Butter Battle**
For years, a sweet old French lady ran a small shop in her village. Life was simple and peaceful—until a massive corporate supermarket opened its doors right across the street.
Wasting no time, the supermarket plastered a bold sign outside: **Butter – 10 euros.**
Not one to shy away from competition, the old lady promptly placed her own sign in the shop window: **Butter – 9 euros.**
The supermarket retaliated the next day: **Butter – 8 euros.**
Unfazed, the old lady updated her sign again: **Butter – 7 euros.**
This price war went on for days, each lowering their price further. Eventually, a worried customer stepped into the old lady’s shop and pointed at her sign.
“Madame,” he said, “you can’t keep this up! Those big supermarkets can afford it, but a small shop like yours? You’ll be ruined!”
The old lady leaned in with a sly smile and whispered,
“Monsieur, I don’t even sell butter.”

A Basic Rundown On Currency Exchanges/Redemption:
The revelations in this article pierce through the veiled layers of global financial architecture, exposing how private, off-book exchanges for currencies like IQD, VND, and Zimbabwe notes operate under ironclad NDAs, far removed from public scrutiny or national reserves.
Whales high-volume holders have already secured trillions in payouts through these channels, with portions directed toward humanitarian projects, infrastructure uplifts, and select private allocations, as evidenced by 2017-era transactions where associates exchanged trillions without touching Iraqi oil or gold backstops. These exchanges are the time demanded meticulous packet compilation:
Customer Information Sheets (CIS), passport copies, Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA), NDAs, certified manifests with barcodes, timestamped proof-of-life videos, blue thumbprints on documents, and full provenance histories tracing acquisition chains free of broker intermediaries.
Routing occurs via private platforms European Tier-1 desks, Chinese redemption entities like Bank of China vaults, or U.S.-approved vehicles bypassing CBI or any sovereign involvement entirely.
Authentication and settlement happen off-soil, ensuring liquidity flows from segregated master collateral accounts tied to ancient Asian custodian networks, not from any visible economic indicators or Forex listings.
Donald Trump possesses acute operational awareness that holders awaiting revaluations of VND, IRR, IQD, or Zim will sidestep the archaic banking infrastructure, where capital crawls through deliberate bottlenecks designed to extract fees, taxes, and control at every turn.
His push for the Crypto Structure Bill signals a deliberate overhaul of the modern financial system, rendering the Rothschild-dominated networks obsolete by enabling seamless, decentralized transfers that evade parasitic deductions.
Trump understands that this bill will dismantle the mechanisms allowing central banks to steal from citizens, as it introduces blockchain-verified protocols where transactions occur instantaneously without intermediary skimming.
This awareness stems from his direct confrontations with the Federal Reserve’s exploitative framework, which has siphoned American wealth since the early 1900s under cabal oversight.
By championing crypto reforms, Trump positions revaluation holders to leverage gold and silver-backed assets, collapsing paper illusions held by banks that claim precious metals reserves without physical holdings.
Wake Up to the Bypass – Holders do not need elite connections or billions in banks; private exchanges democratize access through authenticated packets alone, shattering the myth of exclusivity.
Collateral Truth Exposed – Liquidity surges from hidden master accounts, not national coffers, empowering everyday participants to claim their stake without cabal interference.
Crypto as Liberation Tool – The bill eradicates Rothschild theft vectors, ensuring your gains flow untaxed and unfee’d into personal sovereignty.
Silver’s Floor Price Hammer – Banks’ paper precious metals façade crumbles, forcing liquidity desperation that hands power to currency holders in the new gold-silver paradigm.
No WGS Access for Parasites – Blocked funds accounts deny the UST/FED/IMF/BIS cartel any leverage, redirecting trillions toward humanity’s upliftment, not their locked-up schemes.
The Crypto Structure Bill’s passage will neutralize the Rothschild banking cartel’s ability to impose death by a thousand cuts through steals, taxes, and fees, as decentralized ledgers enforce transparent, instantaneous settlements immune to manipulation.
Trump knows this reform will align with Basel 3 compliance fears among banks, where true asset backing exposes their hollow precious metals claims silver’s impending floor price will trigger a cascade of liquidity crises, placing insolvent institutions at the mercy of revaluation holders flush with gold-silver fortified wealth.
This is no accident; Trump’s intent to end the Federal Reserve targets the parasitic cabal that has bled American citizens dry since the 1900s, replacing it with a system where currency flows freely for infrastructure, debt relief, and humanitarian initiation.
Private exchanges for whales were insulated from public Forex rates, ensuring holders received tranche values far exceeding listed figures, drawn from untouchable collateral pools.
The general public must grasp that no special contacts are required verifiable packets and compliance unlock the door, not pre-existing millions or insider whispers once it is public. Relax.
Public Rate Irrelevance – Forex listings are legal theater; private rates from master accounts deliver the real windfalls, untethered to visible markets. (Keep in mind)
No Need for Elites – Ordinary holders thrive through provenance and NDAs, not connections democratization is here, seize it without hesitation.
Flow Over Hoard – Funds must inject into economies for upliftment, not park in leverages; this enforces global healing over cabal greed.
Basel 3 Terror – Banks tremble at asset transparency, their paper empires folding as true backing demands physical proof they lack.
Trump’s Endgame Vision – Ending the Fed liberates citizens from 20th-century theft, ushering gold-silver sovereignty for all, not just whales.
There are no accessible WGS funds accounts for the sectional UST/FED/IMF/BIS/UN component Rothschild and Western Royals/Trustees/Parasites within the ongoing global financial reset process, a self-evident blockade that confines them to a mere fragment of the release landscape.
Western governments and central banks have erected elaborate intake structures for these currencies, masquerading as a “new” economic system while hoarding potential.
Proceeds from these accounts prohibit leveraging for profit via options, futures, derivatives, or similar instruments their abundance eliminates any need for such multiplication, directing them instead toward direct economic initiation.
These funds target infrastructure improvements, debt relief, capitalization, education, research, development, and humanitarian relief, ensuring planetary upliftment through active flow.
Parking them in locked accounts for mere leverage starves humanity; true currency thrives when expended on goods and services, a principle the Rothschild cartel actively subverts to this day.
Blockade Enforcement – WGS inaccessibility starves the cartel, forcing their grand structures into irrelevance amid the reset. Watch silver.
Direct Initiation Mandate – Funds flow for global good humanity rises when money moves, not when hoarded by thieves.
Sage Directive: Reject Leverage Traps – Abundance demands spending on upliftment, not cabal games that multiply nothing for the masses.
Cartel’s Blind Greed – Rothschilds cling to stagnation, but the reset’s flow dismantles their parasitic hold forever.
Public Empowerment – No billions or special contacts needed for exchanges; the system’s design invites all holders to participate in this liberation
Trump’s orchestration ensures that even when currencies like IQD hit Forex, private exchange rates remain elevated and insulated, reflecting values from master collateral far beyond public ledgers.
This awareness drives his crypto reforms, bypassing archaic systems that delay and dilute capital in favor of instant, secure transfers.
The bill’s modernization will prevent any cabal interference, aligning with the inevitable bank collapses as silver’s floor exposes fraudulent reserves.
Holders gain leverage in liquidity-starved markets, their gold-silver backed assets becoming the new power base. Ultimately, this ends the Federal Reserve’s reign, freeing Americans from a century of theft and positioning revaluation participants as architects of the flowing, equitable economy.
Stop looking for a crowd to handle your own personal business. Your personal/private exchange will have nothing to do with nobody else. I do not care about no club or group rate.

Global Payment System Reform Accelerates as Regulators Warn of Fragmentation Risks
International financial regulators push for urgent modernization of cross-border payments as digital currencies and alternative systems reshape global finance.
Overview
Global financial regulators are warning that the international payment system — the backbone of global trade and finance — is under growing pressure to modernize.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Global Payment System Reform Accelerates as Regulators Warn of Fragmentation Risks
International financial regulators push for urgent modernization of cross-border payments as digital currencies and alternative systems reshape global finance.
Overview
Global financial regulators are warning that the international payment system — the backbone of global trade and finance — is under growing pressure to modernize.
Officials at the Financial Stability Board say cross-border payments remain too slow, too expensive, and too complex, even as global commerce increasingly relies on instant digital transactions.
The issue is now a major priority for the Group of Twenty (G20), which launched a roadmap to overhaul international payments by reducing transaction costs and dramatically speeding up settlement times.
Regulators warn that if these reforms fail to keep pace with technological change, the world could see fragmented payment systems emerge — weakening global financial stability and altering how currencies move across borders.
Key Developments
1. Global Regulators Warn Cross-Border Payments Are Too Slow and Expensive
The chair of the Financial Stability Board, Andrew Bailey, said current payment infrastructure lags behind the speed of modern financial markets and digital commerce.
International transfers often still take multiple days to settle, while fees can exceed 5–7% for some cross-border transactions.
These inefficiencies create friction in global trade and raise costs for businesses, banks, and consumers worldwide.
2. G20 Roadmap Targets Faster and Cheaper Global Payments
The G20 has launched an ambitious reform plan aimed at transforming cross-border payment systems.
Key goals include:
• Reducing global transaction costs to roughly 1%• Allowing most cross-border payments to settle within one hour• Improving transparency and access to international payment networks
The reforms would require major upgrades to banking infrastructure, regulatory coordination, and payment technologies across multiple jurisdictions.
3. Stablecoins and Digital Payments Are Challenging Traditional Systems
The rapid growth of stablecoins and digital payment platforms is forcing regulators to move faster.
These technologies can potentially bypass traditional banking networks, enabling faster settlement outside conventional financial rails.
Regulators fear that without modernization, the current global payment framework could become fragmented into competing systems operated by governments, banks, and technology firms.
4. Financial Stability Concerns Drive Global Coordination
Because payment systems underpin global trade, currency flows, and financial markets, fragmentation could create new systemic risks.
Regulators are therefore pushing for international coordination to maintain a unified payment infrastructure, even as digital currencies and fintech innovations reshape financial markets.
Why It Matters
Cross-border payment systems function as the plumbing of the global financial system.
When payments move slowly or inefficiently, it affects:
• international trade settlement• global capital flows• financial market liquidity
Reforms aimed at modernizing this infrastructure could significantly alter how money moves across the world economy.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Changes to global payment systems can influence currency demand, capital flows, and exchange-rate dynamics.
Faster settlement networks and lower transaction costs could:
• increase cross-border currency competition• expand international trade outside traditional banking channels• shift how reserve currencies are used in global transactions
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Modernizing the Infrastructure of Global Finance
• Cross-border payment reform aims to rebuild the core infrastructure supporting global trade and capital flows.
• Faster settlement systems could dramatically change the speed and scale of global financial transactions.
Pillar 2: Preventing Fragmentation of the Global Financial System
• Regulators are attempting to maintain a unified payment framework as digital currencies and alternative systems expand.
• Failure to coordinate reforms could lead to competing financial networks across geopolitical blocs.
Modernizing cross-border payments represents one of the most important structural changes underway in the international financial system today.

BRICS Digital Currency Network Proposal Signals Shift in Global Trade Settlement
Emerging economies explore linking central bank digital currencies to enable direct cross-border payments outside traditional banking systems.
Overview
Emerging economies within the **BRICS alliance are exploring a proposal that could significantly reshape global trade settlement: linking their central bank digital currencies for cross-border payments.
Officials at the Reserve Bank of India have proposed creating a framework allowing digital versions of national currencies issued by central banks to interact on a shared international payment system.
If implemented, the system could enable direct settlement between countries without relying on traditional correspondent banking networks or existing financial messaging infrastructure.
The proposal is expected to be discussed further at an upcoming BRICS summit hosted by India.
Key Developments
1. Proposal Would Link Central Bank Digital Currencies
The plan would allow central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) issued by BRICS countries to operate on a shared payment platform for international transactions.
Examples include:
• China’s Digital Yuan• India’s e‑Rupee
Interoperability between these currencies could enable instant settlement of cross-border payments using digital sovereign currencies.
2. Direct Settlement Could Reduce Reliance on Traditional Banking Rails
Currently, most international payments rely on correspondent banking networks and global financial messaging systems.
A linked CBDC platform could allow countries to settle trade payments directly through central bank systems, reducing the need for intermediaries.
This approach could potentially lower transaction costs and increase payment speed in international trade.
3. Emerging Economies Seek Greater Financial Autonomy
Several BRICS countries have expressed interest in strengthening financial cooperation among emerging markets.
Digital currency interoperability could support:
• regional trade settlement systems• financial connectivity among developing economies• greater resilience in international payments
The initiative reflects a broader effort by emerging economies to diversify the global financial architecture.
4. Implementation Would Require Major Technical and Regulatory Coordination
Despite growing interest, significant challenges remain.
Developing a shared CBDC payment network would require:
• technical interoperability between national systems• international regulatory frameworks• cybersecurity safeguards
These issues mean the proposal is still in the exploratory stage, though discussions among policymakers are accelerating.
Why It Matters
Central bank digital currencies represent one of the most significant innovations in modern monetary systems.
If multiple countries connect their digital currencies through a shared platform, it could fundamentally change how international payments and trade settlements occur.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Digital currency settlement systems could influence how currencies are used in global trade.
Potential effects include:
• faster settlement of cross-border transactions• expanded use of regional currencies in trade• greater diversification in international payment systems
These shifts could gradually reshape currency demand and global capital flows.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Digital Transformation of Sovereign Money
• Central banks worldwide are exploring digital versions of their currencies to modernize monetary systems.
• CBDCs could eventually enable direct international settlement between central banks.
Pillar 2: Emerging Market Influence on Financial Architecture
• Collaborative initiatives among emerging economies may expand alternatives within the global payment ecosystem.
• These developments could lead to a more multipolar financial system.
While still in the proposal stage, a linked BRICS digital currency network highlights how new technologies are reshaping the foundations of international finance.
This is not just a technology story — it is the early framework of how money may move in the next generation of the global financial system.

2026-03-15 Shafaq News- Baghdad Ambassadors of European Union member states accredited to Iraq on Sunday expressed hope that the country would not be drawn into the escalating regional conflict, amid rising tensions linked to the confrontation between the United States and Israel on one side and Iran on the other.

The diplomats made the remarks during a meeting with Iraq’s National Security Adviser Qasim al-Araji, where they also condemned recent attacks targeting the Kurdistan Region and critical sites across the country.
According to a statement, the envoys emphasized that the EU is not a party to the ongoing war in the Middle East, while discussing measures taken by the Iraqi government to secure diplomatic missions following recent strikes in Baghdad and Erbil.
The meeting also reviewed steps ordered by caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani to pursue those responsible for attacks on international facilities and ensure legal accountability. (The IRI -> PMF factions)
Participants reaffirmed Iraq’s commitment to maintaining a neutral course focused on stability and development, a strategy Baghdad has pursued in recent years with the support of international partners to safeguard sovereignty and avoid becoming entangled in regional rivalries.

CF Condemns Attacks On PMF Sites, Diplomatic Missions In Iraq
2026-03-15 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq’s Coordination Framework (CF), the biggest parliamentary bloc, condemned on Saturday attacks targeting the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) [most of which are pro-Iran proxies] and other security forces, describing them as violations of Iraq’s sovereignty and threats to the country’s security and stability.
In a statement, the alliance said the attacks resulted in deaths and injuries among personnel “who were performing their duty within the official military formations tasked with maintaining security and stability.”
The remarks came following an emergency meeting at the Government Palace to discuss recent security developments, hosted by the head of the PMF and the organization’s chief of staff, and attended by Caretaking Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani.
The participants also reiterated their rejection of attacks targeting vital state facilities and diplomatic missions, stressing the importance of maintaining security measures to protect diplomatic missions and their premises, and called for pursuing those responsible for attacks that endanger their security.
The meeting also followed the killing of three PMF members [were they those pro-Iran factions that have been attacking US interests?] in a strike that targeted a headquarters in Baghdad, hours before a rocket attack struck the U.S. Embassy in the capital.
Earlier, American facilities and interests in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region, including a diplomatic site near Baghdad International Airport and a military base near Erbil International Airport, have been targeted by drone and rocket attacks claimed by Iran-aligned Iraqi armed PMF groups. (IRI)
The escalation comes amid an ongoing confrontation between the United States, Israel, and Iran since February 28, a conflict that has led factions affiliated with the so-called Islamic Resistance in Iraq to intensify their attacks.

Al-Araji: Those Who Disrupted The Economy Are Trading In The Blood Of Iraqis To Target Al-Sudani
latest news Saturday, March 14, 2026 Baghdad – One News 3/14/2026
Bahaa al-Araji, head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition bloc, said that those who disrupted the “arteries of the economy” and prevented the diversification of oil export routes are now returning to trade in the “blood of Iraqis” to target Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, stressing that it would have been more appropriate to support him instead of criticizing him for their own interests, and calling on the Iraqi people to pay attention to this conspiracy. Sounds like something Maliki would do to discredit Sudani and try to win - have the PMF do his bidding.
Al-Araji added that some politicians are working day and night to obstruct the formation of the government, holding the coordination framework responsible for these delays, noting that Iran formed the government a week after the martyrdom of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Al-Araji stressed that it is Sudani's responsibility to keep Iraq out of the ongoing war and prevent it from becoming a party to it, emphasizing that the accusations leveled against him regarding the failure to protect Iraqi airspace are inaccurate, especially since this is a technological and missile war whose dimensions Iraq cannot bear.

Political stalemate with no time limit
Sarout: Internal conflicts are freezing the formation of the next government, and no agreement is in sight.
Baghdad Today - Baghdad
: In Baghdad, the city that used to manage its crises on the brink of collapse, the political scene today is back at the same point: an open-ended wait with no time limit, and a postponed government tossed about by disputes before it is even born. Behind closed doors, intermittent negotiations, tense communications, and repeated attempts to restore lost trust between political forces are taking place, while leaks about the names of candidates and possible understandings continue to circulate, only to evaporate with the first new dispute.
While the region is ablaze with cross-border conflicts and escalating regional tensions, the Iraqi scene seems to be moving at a different pace, governed less by the results of the war than by deep internal disputes that extend from the Coordination Framework to the Kurdish forces, hindering the identification of both the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic.
With no real signs of resolution, fears are growing that the political waiting will become a permanent state, making the formation of the next government a task postponed indefinitely.
Abbas Sarout, a former member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, confirmed today, Friday (March 13, 2026), that there is no specific timeframe for forming the next government, indicating that the disputes between the Coordination Framework and the Kurdish forces remain unresolved. He stressed that the delay in forming the government is related to internal problems and not to the results of the ongoing war in the region.
Sarwat told Baghdad Today that "the formation of the government is suffering from clear complications within the political forces, especially in the file of determining the identity of the candidate for the next prime minister, and these disagreements need a unified position to resolve the controversy, in addition to disagreements within the Kurdish forces regarding the nomination of the consensus candidate for the presidency of the republic."
He explained that “proceeding with the formation of the government is primarily linked to resolving the issue of the presidency, and that linking its formation to the results of the war in the region is mere speculation, while internal disputes between the main forces are the most prominent reason for the delay in the birth of the next government,” stressing that “any talk about the birth of the government after the Eid al-Fitr holiday is mere speculation, and there are no real indications to support that.”
Despite speculation linking the formation of the government to the outcome of the regional conflict, political sources indicate that the dilemma is primarily internal, as the issue of choosing a consensus candidate for the presidency and the prime ministership remains the main obstacle to proceeding with any new political roadmap. This stalemate threatens to prolong the period of vacuum, which may open the door to further complications in the Iraqi scene. https://baghdadtoday.news/295102-.html
Caretaker PM Al-Sudani: War decisions belong to the state
2026-03-14 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraqi caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani warned Saturday that war decisions are the sole responsibility of the state, criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for pulling the region into a conflict with wide-reaching consequences.
Addressing a group of religious leaders, Al-Sudani pointed to the worsening security situation across the region, stressing that Iraq’s institutions are responsible for protecting the country and its people. He also cautioned that attacks on diplomatic missions and Global Coalition facilities could put Iraq at serious risk, vowing that those involved in such acts would face legal consequences. But he or the government have done nothing to curb the actions of the pro-Iran PMF factions in Iraq - they're endangering Iraq and making war decisions.
“The government is committed to safeguard members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), and no personnel would be left exposed to threats,” he added, noting that Iraqi security forces have successfully prevented several operations targeting economic sites and diplomatic missions.

Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani Shares Ramadan Iftar Dinner with a Group of Religious Leaders….
Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani received today, Saturday, a number of religious leaders and shared with them the Ramadan Iftar dinner joined by Head of the Iraqi Sunni Affairs and the Deputy Head of the Shiite Endowment Diwan.
Prime Minister Al-Sudani commended the principled positions of religious leaders, who play an important role in countering destructive ideas and safeguarding society and the state, as well as in supporting the state and its institutions. He noted that Iraq is currently facing major challenges, which the government is working to overcome in coordination with all concerned parties.
Prime Minister Al-Sudani affirmed that the war has expanded and that all parties are now facing an imminent danger, stressing that it threatens infrastructure projects across the region and risks disrupting energy supplies and supply chains.
The following are the key points from the Prime Minister’s remarks:
The security situation in the region continues to deteriorate due to the ongoing military operations.
The state, through its institutions, is the authority concerned with the decision of war.
The attack on diplomatic missions and coalition headquarters exposes Iraq to serious consequences. The state, through its constitutional institutions, will continue pursuing those involved in this condemned and rejected act.
We renew our condemnation of the targeting of members of our security forces within the Popular Mobilization Forces. We will not accept our service members being exposed to such threats and we will do everything within our power to protect them.
Under the law, it is the duty of the state to monopolize all means of force. Our forces have foiled many operations that sought to target economic sites or diplomatic missions.
Our efforts continue with all regional and international parties to stop this destructive war. We are also communicating with our brothers, particularly as Iraq holds the presidency of the Arab Summit.
The Zionist aggression against Lebanon and the displacement of 900,000 Lebanese have added a further factor of escalation to the region.
We need a discourse that supports societal peace, rejects violence and extremism, and strengthens national unity.
We place our hope in religious scholars to contribute to preventing discord that could have devastating consequences.
The criminal Netanyahu has dragged the region into this war in an unprecedented manner and does not hesitate to use prohibited weapons, shedding the blood of Muslims and innocent people.
We overcame terrorism and threats and moved forward with rebuilding the country. There is nothing impossible on the path of development, and our plans extend even further in the field of reconstruction.
Media Office of the Prime Minister March 14, 2026
Al-Sudani concluded with a warning that the conflict threatens infrastructure, energy supplies, and supply chains, urging religious figures and scholars to help prevent sectarian and social strife that could affect the wider region.
Since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war against Iran on Feb. 28, Iraq and the Kurdistan Region have experienced a series of drone and rocket attacks attributed to Iran-aligned armed factions amid the broader regional escalation.

X22 Report: 3-14-2026
The United States is at a crossroads, with its economic system facing unprecedented challenges. The current monetary and tax structures are under scrutiny, and experts are weighing in on potential solutions.

Dr Scott Young - Trump Is Transitioning The Economic System To Remove The Income Tax
X22 Report: 3-14-2026
The United States is at a crossroads, with its economic system facing unprecedented challenges. The current monetary and tax structures are under scrutiny, and experts are weighing in on potential solutions.
In a recent in-depth interview with X22 Report, Dr. Scott Young, a renowned researcher and expert in the field, shared his insights on the unsustainable nature of the current economic system and the prospects of a revolutionary change.
Dr. Young began by highlighting the inherent flaws in the U.S. economic system, particularly the monetary and tax structures.
He argued that the current system is unsustainable and has been propped up by temporary measures and Band-Aid solutions. The national debt has ballooned, and the tax system has become increasingly complex and burdensome. The IRS, in particular, has come under fire for its inefficiencies .
The discussion then turned to the historical context of central banking in the United States. Dr. Young provided a detailed analysis of the Federal Reserve’s role in shaping the country’s monetary policy and the consequences of its actions.
He noted that the Federal Reserve’s independence has been compromised over the years, leading to a lack of accountability and transparency.
The interview also explored the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on the U.S. economy. Dr. Young argued that the introduction of tariffs marked a significant shift in the country’s economic policy, one that has the potential to reshape the global trade landscape.
The tariffs have been met with resistance from some quarters, but Dr. Young believes they are a necessary step towards creating a more equitable trade environment.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the discussion was the possibility of transitioning to a gold-backed currency.
Dr. Young explained that a gold standard could help to stabilize the economy and reduce the country’s reliance on debt.
By backing the currency with a tangible asset, the U.S. could potentially reduce inflation, increase confidence in the dollar, and create a more sustainable economic structure.
The conversation also touched on the possibility of abolishing the IRS and resolving the massive national debt.
Dr. Young suggested that the 14th Amendment’s bankruptcy provisions could provide a way out of the current debt crisis. He argued that a bold move like this could help to reset the economy and create a more equitable system.
Throughout the interview, Dr. Young emphasized the need for awareness about the changing economic landscape. He noted that systemic corruption is embedded in the financial and governmental institutions, and that a fundamental shift is required to create a more just and sustainable system.
The interview with Dr. Scott Young on X22 Report provides a fascinating glimpse into the potential future of the U.S. economy.
As the country navigates the complexities of its current economic system, experts like Dr. Young are offering valuable insights and potential solutions. While the road ahead is uncertain, one thing is clear: the status quo is unsustainable, and change is on the horizon.
For those interested in learning more, we recommend watching the full video on X22 Report.
Dr. Young’s work and research offer a wealth of information on the topics discussed, and his insights are invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the shifting economic landscape.
As the U.S. economy continues to evolve, it is essential to stay informed and engaged.
The possibility of a gold-backed currency, the abolition of the IRS, and the resolution of the national debt are just a few of the potential developments on the horizon. By staying aware and educated, we can better navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

You will be taken to backrooms with a selected team of your choice to help you throughout this process whoever that may be for you.
Do you see this image below?
That is Puro. Puro is a major character in the indie furry game “Changed”. He is a white wolf creature made of black linx (masked) who lives in a library, distinct from others of his kind because he is intellectually curious, seeks companionship with the human protagonist, and a**s them rather than attempting to systematically conform them. This is how this entire process should go as to how you need to proceed moving forward when digestive info.
Today you will understand why most have wasted their time following all the public indicators as to what will be “The Thing” required for Iraq to finally release the exchange rate.
But this will not be only for Iraqi Dinar. This is a general dossier that will go into detail as to how exchanges regarding IQD, VND, and Zim-Notes were handled off the books. This means there is nothing in any public records that you will find that those exchanges even happened.
This information is very vast and in no way would be able to be covered in one article. Especially on this X platform because there is still info that is very operational today and is not for everyone to hear.
So if you are looking for that to be posted anywhere follow me on my other site. Link in Bio/Profile. Many of you have been curious as to how or who were certain groups like those you have heard about in Reno or other locations.
As I have told you before S. M***** that you know as Awake-n-3d was one of the privileged insiders who I had the pleasure of speaking with prior to him signing off as my AIF-(Attorney In Fact) for my NDA back in the day. But that is another story for another day.
What you need to know regarding your investment is the fact that all the public info about foreign currency is completely irrelevant in terms of what you have been hearing regarding IQD/VND/IRR/ZIM.
Payout execution at these scales forces phased redemption protocols or external backstop mechanisms that mainstream ledgers deliberately omit.
I want you to put this in perspective regarding “The Whales” who exchanged privately back in 2017 when I was privy to it. For a $1 trillion USD payout: shortfall of $903 billion at $15 billion annual net growth would require Iraq 60 years of continuous operation for their economy. And this is just one individual.
Do you now see the improbability of the CBI ever having the ability to pay out that type of money based on their current economic status?
This should tell you that once you exchange whatever rate they show you on the screen will have nothing to do with Iraq assuming you hold only IQD.
For the most part funding for large-scale, private, off-book exchanges of IQD (and structurally similar operations involving VND or historical Zimbabwe notes under heavy NDA layers) originates from segregated, multi-generational global collateral pools that operate entirely outside national central bank ledgers or sovereign oil/gold reserves.

Militia Man The IMF, World Bank, EBRD - European Bank of Reconstruction and Development want to see transparency. They want to see rules-based information. That's what's Iraq is doing. They're doing it under Al-Sudani and Alaq. Remember Sudani and Rasheed are the government and they're still in place and legally capable of allowing the Central Bank and gatekeepers to change the exchange rate under terms now.
Mnt Goat We are still waiting for the ‘official’ announcement of al-Sudani as the nominee for prime minister. There does not seem to be any rush since parliament has already told us they do not intend to hold any sessions while the conflict with Iran is ongoing. Kurdistan is now ready to announce its candidate for president but is also holding back. This could take weeks or even longer. So I need everyone to relax and let it all play out.
Frank26 The Coordinated Framework is part of a spiderweb structure that causes trouble in Iraq. You have the politicians from Iran that infected Iraq. You have the militias, the soldiers, the terrorist cells that have infected Iraq...They want to survive. They want to cooperate. They want to continue. A good percentage of them are still Iranians and they don't want to lose that position of power...The CF was a constipation of the monetary reform and it needed to be removed, corrected...Iranian influence constipated the monetary reform, did not allow it to flow.
