This some of the information, my friend told me about! His source is from a person that is still working in Iraq! This the reason, I think we may see some movement with the IQD after Ramadan! This could be something or it could be nothing. But me personally I think it’s something. We will find out here in a few weeks, whither we are in for another dead year, but the good news this digital deal is going to happen and we know that they have legalized the process for this new digital currency! JMHO

Dive master, I agree. The Flat earth group will argue that the dome over the Earth prevents anything getting high enough to take a photo showing the entire flat earth. In their opinion this is faked.

Here's another article related to the above...US has to borrow just to pay interest on its debt... FROM OTHER SOURCES: The US Has To Borrow Just To Pay Interest On Its Debt. ARTICLE: Headlines screaming “ITS OVER” are certainly attention-grabbing, but the situation surrounding US debt is far more nuanced than a simple doomsday declaration. The claim that the US needs to borrow just to pay the interest on its debt is a significant one & while not entirely accurate yet, it highlights a worrying trend. Let’s break down the reality, the risks & what it might mean for the future. The statement hinges on the fact that the US national debt is substantial & growing. As of late 2023, it sits well above $30 trillion. With interest rates rising, the cost of servicing that debt has also increased dramatically. This year, the US is projected to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on interest payments alone. The concern is that these interest payments are becoming so large that they contribute significantly to the overall deficit. This deficit, in turn, necessitates further borrowing, creating a potential “debt spiral” where borrowing is required simply to cover the interest on existing debt. The US is not currently solely borrowing to pay interest. The deficit is driven by a complex interplay of factors, including government spending programs, tax policies & economic conditions. However, the increasing burden of interest payments is undoubtedly exacerbating the situation. However, these factors are becoming increasingly challenged. Economic growth is slowing & political gridlock often hinders meaningful fiscal reforms. The consequence? The rising interest payments are indeed becoming a larger & larger portion of the deficit, inching closer to the terrifying scenario painted by the headline. While the US isn’t solely borrowing to pay interest yet, the escalating burden of debt servicing is a serious concern. The path forward requires a commitment to fiscal responsibility, sustainable economic growth & effective monetary policy. Ignoring the warning signs & failing to address the issue could lead to dire consequences for the US economy & its global standing. It’s not necessarily “over,” but the future depends on decisive action taken now. Ignoring the problem is not an option.

Here's an article of GCR-NESARA interests... We Have A Date...The Great RESET Is Coming. Trump: US Reset Coming July 2026. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. FROM OTHER SOURCES: Insiders Claim Trump WILL Reset Economy, 4 July, To A New Gold Back Currency. ARTICLE: In this interview with Andy Schectman, Andy drops a bombshell stating that Judy Shelton, Trump’s former pick for the Federal Reserve, told him directly that Trump will pull the trigger on the economic reset July 4th 2026 with a gold backed currency. That’s a pretty big deal coming from Shelton. We know the economy is ready for a reset soon, what ultimately occurs is still up in the air, but this was big news to me. Details Of The Interview: Andy Schectman rejoins the program to discuss the volatile market & the massive gold moving off the COMEX. An unprecedented situation which has never been seen in our lifetime. He also shares what he has heard from insiders that Trump plans on flipping the switch on the new US economy July 4th, 2026.

Thanks. Great post, HC. Go RV.

The session was attended by the Governor of the Central Bank and representatives of banks and electronic payment companies. The Chairman of the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Wadih Al-Handhal, stressed the importance of joint cooperation between the Central Bank of Iraq, banks, and electronic payment companies to enhance financial stability and develop the banking system in accordance with the latest international standards. He added, "The Special Committee for Assisting Deprived Banks, formed in the Ministerial Economic Council, called for the necessity of assisting deprived banks and suspending fines imposed on them, as they are going through difficult circumstances, which everyone knows." He indicated that "deprived banks work daily to implement global financial requirements and are subject to daily fines," calling for these fines to be suspended and reviewed by the Central Bank of Iraq. For his part, the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, addressed the Central Bank's measures related to banks deprived of using the dollar, noting that there are signs of optimism in discussions with the American side on this issue. Al-Alaq stressed that "the Central Bank of Iraq supports the establishment of digital banks, indicating that the number of applications has reached 75 banks, which contributes to accelerating the digital transformation of the banking sector in Iraq." He pointed out that the first phase will be to grant only one or two licenses for the purpose of experimentation and studying the problems and challenges facing these digital banks. He explained that "banks are required to work on raising the rate of financial inclusion by providing modern banking services targeting wider segments of society," stressing that "the transition towards a digital economy is an essential step to enhance financial stability and economic development." /End https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1192022

Why was Iraq not included on Trump's new sanctions list despite being included in 2017? 12 hours ago Iraq In 2017, during President Donald Trump's first term, Iraq was included in the list of countries subject to the travel ban to the United States. However, Iraq was later exempted from this ban due to enhanced security cooperation and information sharing between the two countries, as well as Iraqi efforts in combating ISIS. In 2025, the Trump administration is preparing a new list of 43 countries that could face travel bans or restrictions to the United States. According to draft recommendations, these countries are divided into three categories: Red List: 11 countries whose citizens are completely barred from entering the United States, including: Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iran, Somalia, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Bhutan. Orange List: 10 countries whose citizens will be subject to severe travel restrictions, but not a complete ban, including: Russia, Belarus, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan. Yellow List: 22 countries will be given 60 days to correct deficiencies in their security measures and information sharing, otherwise they may be transferred to one of the two previous lists. It is noteworthy that Iraq has not been included on either of these new lists. This is due to the continued close cooperation between Iraq and the United States in the areas of security and information sharing. Iraq has also improved its security screening and passport issuance procedures, bringing it into compliance with required US standards. This ongoing cooperation and Iraq's commitment to strengthening its internal security and sharing security information with the United States contributed to its removal from the new ban list. https://www.radionawa.com/all-detail.aspx?jimare=41382

Baghdad requires the region to send revenues to pay Kurdistan employees' salaries before Eid. Economy |Yesterday, 19:04 | Baghdad Today - Kurdistan Former Kurdish MP Ghaleb Mohammed revealed on Saturday (March 15, 2025) a request submitted by the Federal Ministry of Finance as a condition for sending the salaries of the region's employees for the month of March before Eid. Mohammed told Baghdad Today, "The Ministry of Finance has asked the regional government to hand over non-oil domestic revenues for February and March, and will fund employee salaries for March before Eid." He added, "The regional government creates obstacles every month and is not serious about resolving the salary issue. Every month, there are disagreements and problems with the payrolls, and it is the one responsible for the delay in salaries. This issue will not be resolved, and the problem will continue every month, except through settlement in federal banks." Kurdistan Regional Government spokesman Peshwa Hawrami said last Wednesday that the government is making every effort to pay salaries to public sector employees and workers for the current month of March before Eid al-Fitr. Hawrami wrote in a Facebook post that Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, during the council's session held this morning, directed the preparation of a payroll list for the current month of March and its dispatch to Baghdad. He added that Masrour Barzani also directed ministries to work during official holidays in an effort to distribute salaries before Eid al-Fitr. https://baghdadtoday.news/269987-بغداد-تشترط-على-الإقليم-إرسال-الإيرادات-لصرف-رواتب-موظفي-كردستان-قبل-العيد.html

Parliamentary Finance Committee on Budget Delay: The Government Underestimates Parliament's Role Politics 2025-03-16 06:27 Shafaq News/ Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Hussein Mounes, confirmed on Sunday that the talk about sending the general budget tables from the Ministry of Finance to the Council of Ministers is still unconfirmed, and there is no accurate information available regarding the veracity of this news. In a statement to Shafaq News Agency, Mounes indicated that the government violated the Financial Management Law by delaying the submission of the schedules, considering this a disregard for the role of the House of Representatives and its oversight and legislative work. He explained that the Parliamentary Finance Committee has not yet been informed of any official date for the schedules to be submitted to Parliament, stressing the need for the government to adhere to legal and constitutional procedures when submitting the budget. The Ministry of Finance was supposed to submit the budget tables to the Cabinet in October 2024, in preparation for approval before the start of the new year, in accordance with the Financial Management Law. Earlier, Ibtisam al-Hilali, a member of parliament representing the Coordination Framework, predicted that the current year's budget would be submitted to parliament before the end of March. She indicated that the total budget and deficit were similar to previous budgets. In November 2024, the head of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Atwan al-Atwani, indicated that the government had begun meetings to prepare the 2025 budget, which was expected to reach Parliament early this year. He also pointed out that the oil disputes with the Kurdistan Region are among the most significant challenges facing the budget preparation process, despite efforts to resolve these disputes and resume the region's oil exports to boost the country's resources. Last February, the Iraqi Parliament voted to amend Article 12 of the budget law, which concerns the costs of extracting oil from the Kurdistan Region. It is noteworthy that the Council voted in June 2023 on the draft general budget law for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025). https://www.shafaq.com/ar/سیاسة/المالية-النيابية-عن-ت-خر-الموازنة-الحكومة-تستهين-بدور-البرلمان

Reassuring citizens, the Central Bank told NINA: We have ample cash liquidity. Saturday 15, March 2025 | EconomyRead Counter 931 Baghdad / NINA / The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) reassured the banking and community circles of ensuring the availability of cash liquidity to cover all local transactions in Iraqi dinars. The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency ( NINA ), that "the Central Bank is the last entity that can be without cash liquidity in Iraq." He explained that "the Central Bank has wide scope to provide local currency to the extent that this currency is covered by foreign reserves, which currently far exceeds the level of local sufficiency, and more than we can finance." He added, "There is frequent confusion between the position of the Central Bank, which is a completely different situation from the financial situation related to the financial policy in the country or the Ministry of Finance," indicating that "the Ministry of Finance's revenues are based in dollars through Iraqi oil sales in the global market." Al-Alaq stressed that "the Central Bank deals in Iraqi dinars for all amounts it receives in dollars, and this is very available under any circumstances," calling for distinction and separation between the financial situation at the level of the government and the Ministry of Finance, and the availability of cash at the Central Bank of Iraq. / End 5 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?Key=1192029

No, I amn't expert in the muslim culture. Accidently, I just read the article somewhere about the muslim men can have up to 4 wives legally. Their motto is more wives equals to more children equals to more luckier and wealthier. My motto is one wife too many.

A dime works for me, too. A buck would be a huge blessing from the god up there.
