Here's another article/with video related to the above...weekly wrap up... Jon Dowling Weekly Wrap Up & Latest Financial Updates June 5th 2026. ARTICLE: As we reach the midpoint of 2026, the global financial & geopolitical landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace. The latest weekly report, dated June 5, 2026, offers a comprehensive look into the moving parts of global currency realignment, with a specific focus on Iraq’s political trajectory, shifting U.S. economic policies & the current state of the commodities market. For those tracking int'l finance, this update provides a roadmap for what to expect in the coming months. A central theme of this week’s report is the significant progress made by Iraqi PM Al-Zaidi. With the finalization of his cabinet, the focus has shifted toward imminent diplomatic engagements in Washington, D.C. These meetings are expected to be a catalyst for sweeping banking reforms. By collaborating with major global institutions like Wells Fargo & Chase, Iraq aims to bring a new level of transparency & coherence to its financial system. Key to this transition is the enactment of essential legislation, including the HCL gas law & updated border tariffs. These steps are viewed as foundational requirements for integrating Iraq’s economy more fully into the global market, moving beyond localized banking toward a more robust, internationally recognized infrastructure. The energy sector is currently seeing a surge in optimism, highlighted by Xenog Xol gas reaching all-time market highs. This spike suggests a bullish outlook for the remainder of the year, signaling potential gains for investors keeping a close eye on alternative energy sources. In contrast, traditional commodities like gold, silver & crude oil remain in a holding pattern. While the Dollar Index has shown modest fluctuations, analysts suggest these markets are poised for “breakout” movements. These shifts are likely to be triggered by the resolution of ongoing geopolitical discussions, making the next few weeks a critical period for market watchers. The report also touches on the domestic front, highlighting recent commentary from President Trump regarding the ideological divide in American economic policy. The discussion contrasts “red” state models—largely focused on tax relief & fostering entrepreneurial growth—with the higher-tax, social-leaning policies of “blue” states. The report interprets these current political sentiments as a call for broader fiscal reforms, including discussions on debt relief and sustainable economic self-reliance. While U.S. equity indices are currently forecasting highs, the report tempers this optimism with a note of caution, predicting potential market corrections as we head into August & September of 2026. A unique aspect of this week’s update is the intersection of strategic security & economic stability. The report highlights the presence of US Marines in the Middle East as a stabilizing force, intended to deter corruption & ensure that the process of economic realignment remains transparent. The goal, according to the report, is a “true” revaluation that is non-corrupt & accessible through mainstream banking institutions. This approach aims to simplify the wealth management process for the general public, moving away from the complicated redemption processes of the past. To illustrate the importance of these reforms, the report references the historical example of the Zimbabwe hyperinflation crisis, reminding us of the necessity of sound fiscal policy. As we navigate these complex shifts, the message from the June 5th report is one of “watchful discernment.” With major banking reforms on the horizon & energy markets hitting record peaks, the coming months promise to be transformative.

Clare Article: "The Prime Minister's advisor reveals the Al-Zaidi government's roadmap for strengthening the Iraqi dinar" Quote: "The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, announced on Saturday, June 6, 2026, that the Ali al-Zaidi government has adopted a package of long-term reform measures to protect the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and curb inflation, ruling out the possibility of raising the value of the national currency through 'quick administrative decisions.' " Yup. Zaidi may have let the cat out of the bag. Zaidi in a presser, talked about the Official Value of the Dinar, not the Official ER as he heads to US to meet with Trump. Sounds a lot like an RI to it's former glory. Could he make an official announcement while in the US? IMHO.

Thom Question: "Why can’t Venezuela currency [Bolivar] exchange in the US for the current rate?" US sanctions on Venezuela make it nearly impossible for American banks to transact in bolívars. Add in hyperinflation that's destroyed the currency's value, and there's simply no legitimate market for it here. It's not a lack of desire, but rather a sanctions wall. The Bulivar should be on FOREX this week-end. It'll be int'l & tradable.

HOT: Here's another article related to the above...Iraq sanctions rumors laid to rest... No Sanctions On Iraq Or Currency. ARTICLE: Government Spokesperson: Iraq is a Fully Sovereign Country. Sanction Rumors Laid To Rest. Iraq Government spokesperson Haider al-Aboudi affirmed on Friday that Iraq is a fully sovereign country & its supreme authority is not subject to internal or external dictates. "The government of PM Ali Faleh al-Zaidi has presented a clear ministerial program, foremost among which is strengthening national sovereignty. Monopolizing weapons in the hands of the state & enforcing the law represent the government's starting point," al-Aboudi said in a televised statement to Al-Iraqiya News, reported by the Iraqi News Agency - INA. He noted, “The national forces' response to the issue of weapons control has become evident to everyone. It is important to restrict weapons to the state to ensure that political agendas do not dictate their control. Iraq is a fully sovereign country & its supreme authority is not subject to internal or external dictates." "September 2026 will mark the end of the int'l coalition's presence in Iraq,” he highlighted. Regarding the fuel station issue, Al-Aboudi confirmed that "the PM is personally overseeing the fuel station file & stations are being supplied with gasoline." On salaries & the evaluation of general managers, Al-Aboudi explained that "salaries are secured & the PM differs from his predecessors because he comes from the business world & understands the intricacies of economic movements." “The evaluation of general managers is one of the most important factors in institutional performance & it will be conducted scientifically & meticulously," he underscored.

Trump made the comments during an interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press" published on Sunday. He went on to say that if no deal is reached, the US will resume attacks on Iran's military. “If we make a deal that now we’re friendly, we’ll all go together. It’ll be our equipment. We’ll take it out & destroy it, whether it’s on-site or whether we take it off-site,” Trump said of the enriched uranium. “And we will go with them, or without them. But we won’t have people shooting at us, OK?” Trump said. “Now, if we don’t make a deal, then we’re going to take them out militarily very harshly. And we’ll wait till we do that before we go, in which case we’ll have safety either way.”

Luigi's two cents worth... Could an RV announcement be in the works as Zaidi heads to the US. Zaidi mentioned not the Official ER but the Official Value of the IQD. This may be a HUGE story or may be nothing at all. Your thoughts on this latest development. Go RV.

ARTICLE: Iraqi PM Ali Faleh al-Zaidi announced on Saturday an upcoming official visit to the US, accompanied by businessmen, to expand mutual & joint investment opportunities, noting at the same time that the development fund is for the private sector & will absorb a contribution from the CBI worth $10 billion.

Al-Zaydi stressed the fight against corruption & extortion, and called on all businessmen or companies not to be drawn into offering any sums of money to facilitate their work and obtain their rights & that his door is open to any case of obstruction practiced by any element within the body of the state. Al-Zaydi said that the private sector is a partner of the government, and we support its pivotal role in developing the economy. Our criteria for preferring the private sector are: “tax accountability,” “the size of the workforce & their inclusion in social security” & “the size of the social benefits contributed to.” He added: We have a project for one million residential plots & we call on the private sector to contribute to its infrastructure. There must be a share for everyone who does not own a property, plot of land, or housing unit. We will cooperate with the private sector in preparing residential lands according to economic models that preserve the rights of the state & the citizen. The Iraqi PM revealed an upcoming visit to Washington, saying: “We have an official visit coming up to the US & we will bring with us a number of businessmen to expand mutual & joint investment opportunities.” Al-Zaydi pointed out that the development fund is for the private sector & will absorb a contribution from the CBI worth $10 billion & we will open subscription to contributions for all citizens, at the OFFICIAL value of the Iraqi Dinar.

We have prepared monthly payments of approximately (1 trillion Dinars) for the purpose of paying the dues of businessmen, companies & contractors & the payments will increase with the resolution of the crude oil export crises. He noted that he had issued directives to resolve obstacles related to tax accounting and to remove any conflict in instructions, & everything that hinders progress towards the goal of preserving public funds. He also directed that all laws & decisions that do not facilitate economic development and impede the expansion of partnership with the private sector be studied. For their part, the businessmen offered to expand consultations with the government regarding service & development projects & priorities, diagnose market needs & find solutions to economic challenges in order to help the government achieve its goals. Iraq Recorded A Sharp Decline In Imports During 2025. ARTICLE: International trade data on import values for 2025 showed a significant decline in the value of Iraq’s imports compared to the previous four years, after it had been among the top importing countries on the list. According to the data, the value of Iraqi imports during 2025 reached approximately $51.1 billion, down from $87.4 billion in 2024, a difference of over $36 billion, representing one of the largest declines recorded compared to previous years. Observers attribute this to stricter financial compliance procedures through the CBI's electronic platform & the drop in oil prices. Iraq had recorded a steady increase in the value of imports during the past years, as it rose from $60.9 billion in 2021 to $76.1 billion in 2022, then $85 billion in 2023, before peaking at $87.4 billion during 2024. In the ranking of importing countries for 2025, Iraq came behind several countries including Colombia, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Pakistan & Kazakhstan, while it outperformed other countries such as Kuwait, Oman & Qatar. The data is based on International Trade Centre calculations relying on UN Trade Statistics (COMTRADE) & Int'l Trade Centre data.

ARTICLE: A report issued by the International Monetary Fund showed that Iraq faces increasing financial pressures during 2026, due to the rising cost of government energy subsidies, increasing public debt & rising borrowing costs in int'l markets. According to the report, Iraq is estimated to be among the countries with high levels of energy subsidies, with the cost of subsidies reaching less than 6% of GDP, making the General Budget more vulnerable to fluctuations in oil & gas prices & increasing pressure on public finances if global energy prices continue to rise. The IMF noted that Iraq is among a group of economies that have seen a significant increase in public debt compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, as debt levels rose significantly in 2026 compared to 2019, within a regional trend that includes a number of countries with high fiscal deficits.

Pallet loads of USD flown into Iraq on C-130s, 10 years ago, may ended up in Iran's hands & proxies. Bad mistake, as there were no provisions set in place to monitor where the money was going. Again...The US taxpayers are on the hook. IMHO.

Here's some articles of Dinarian-GCR interests... Iran appears to be ramping up the pressure. Iran is shaking down the US for money & lots of it.

ARTICLE: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) intercepted six Iranian ballistic missiles fired toward Kuwait and Bahrain after American forces struck Iranian radar sites, as tensions continue to rise amid stalled negotiations between Washington & Tehran. Fox News foreign correspondent Jeff Paul reported from Dubai that Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward the Gulf allies after CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones & carried out retaliatory strikes on radar sites in Goruk & on Qeshm Island. “Officials in Kuwait are describing those recent overnight strikes here in the Gulf as a serious escalation,” Paul said on “Fox Report.” CENTCOM said six of the seven missiles were intercepted, while the seventh failed to reach its intended target. Former CIA station chief & Fox News contributor Dan Hoffman said Iran appears to be trying to “drive up the costs of the war” for the US by disrupting trade through the Strait of Hormuz, escalating Hezbollah strikes against Israel and targeting Gulf allies. “Iran feels like that gives them added leverage,” Hoffman said, referring to domestic political pressure facing the Trump administration ahead of the midterms. Playing Into Democrats Hands. ARTICLE: Republicans face ticking midterm clock as Iran fallout keeps pressure on gas prices. As the Trump administration weighs diplomacy & military pressure against Iran, a political clock is ticking at home. Even if the Strait of Hormuz — the global oil choke point largely shuttered since the conflict with Iran due to Iranian attacks — reopened immediately, it could take months for oil flows to return due to logistical bottlenecks involving trapped tankers, swollen inventories & damaged oil infrastructure, according to Kpler oil analyst Matt Smith, pushing normalization of global energy markets closer to the Nov. 3 midterm elections. "It's then going to take until the 4th Quarter of the year for things to return to normal," Smith said. It may be too little too late as mid term approaches. The question facing Republicans is whether the economic consequences of the conflict will outlast the conflict itself. While the WH continues to pursue a diplomatic resolution with Iran, strategists and energy analysts say disruptions to global energy markets could linger long after any agreement is reached, leaving voters with months of elevated costs heading into the midterms. The Economic Effects Are Already Visible: The national average price of regular gasoline stood at $4.241 per gallon Thursday, according to AAA, up from $3.144 a year earlier — an increase of nearly 35%. Moody's Analytics estimates the conflict has cost American households roughly $100 billion throughout the past three months, or about $750 per household, through higher fuel, transportation & related costs. To some, the conflict has already gone on long enough to create lasting political consequences. "There is a timeline, and we've already passed it," GOP strategist Doug Heye told Fox News Digital.

Militia Man The foundation built over the last few years is now being activated. Al-Sudani was very successful in doing what he did. It's like he passed off the baton to someone else who is just as qualified who's going to take us into the end of the game. The stage is being set for even greater stability and for long-term progress. Greater stability, long-term progress, they're going to need to have these things in place to be able to support the value fo a Real Effective Exchange Rate into the future. The economic reports coming out of Iraq are looking up after a series of setbacks due to the US-Israel-Iran War. It looks like Zaidi is cracking down on the armed pro Iran militias & corruption. Most of all...he's motivating Parliament into action. Things are getting done despite setbacks. Go RV.

Here's another article that may have an impact the GCR...Central Banks warn Of Stablecoun risks...EU balks at Stablecoins...claims it gives the US too much financial power over other nations... Global Battle Over Digital Money Intensifies As Central Banks Warn On Stablecoin Risks. ARTICLE: As stablecoins expand rapidly across global markets, central banks are accelerating efforts to reshape the future of money, payments & financial sovereignty. Overview: A growing conflict is emerging between governments, central banks & private financial innovators over who will control the next generation of money. Recent warnings from the European Central Bank (ECB) & ongoing discussions among global regulators highlight increasing concerns that the rapid growth of Dollar-backed Stablecoins could alter monetary policy, financial stability & the balance of power within the global financial system. At the center of the debate is the rise of tokenized finance, where digital assets & blockchain technology are increasingly being integrated into traditional banking, payments, lending & investment markets. Policymakers are now racing to establish regulatory frameworks while simultaneously developing their own digital currency infrastructure. Key Developments: 1. ECB Warns Stablecoins Could Threaten Financial Stability. European Central Bank officials warned that large-scale stablecoin adoption could create risks similar to those seen in money market funds during past financial crises. Officials cited concerns over potential liquidity runs, disruptions to monetary policy transmission & increased dependence on privately issued digital money. 2. Dollar Dominance Faces a New Evolution. Most major Stablecoins remain pegged to the USD, giving Dollar-backed digital assets a growing presence in int'l transactions. European policymakers expressed concern that widespread adoption of Dollar-based Stablecoins could further strengthen US financial influence while reducing the role of other nat'l currencies in global commerce. 3. Central Banks Accelerate Digital Currency Projects. Rather than attempting to block innovation, many central banks are responding by developing digital settlement systems & central bank digital currency infrastructure. Projects focused on tokenized settlement, cross-border payments & digital public money continue to gain momentum as governments seek to maintain monetary control in a rapidly evolving financial environment. 4. Tokenized Finance Continues Expanding. Financial institutions are increasingly exploring tokenized assets, blockchain-based settlement systems & digital payment networks. Supporters argue that tokenization can improve efficiency, reduce costs & modernize financial markets. Critics warn that the speed of digital transactions could amplify financial stress during periods of market instability. 5. Global Regulatory Competition Intensifies. Countries are increasingly viewing digital finance regulation as a strategic issue. Governments that establish clear regulatory frameworks may attract investment, innovation & financial activity, while those that lag behind risk losing influence within emerging digital markets. The competition is becoming a race to shape the rules governing the next era of global finance. Why It Matters: The debate over Stablecoins & digital currencies extends far beyond cryptocurrency markets. It involves fundamental questions about who controls money, payment systems & financial infrastructure in the decades ahead. As digital assets become more integrated into the global economy, governments & central banks face increasing pressure to modernize financial systems while preserving monetary stability. Why It Matters To Foreign Currency Holders: • Stablecoins are increasingly being used for int'l transactions & cross-border payments. • Digital currencies may influence future reserve currency dynamics. • Tokenized financial systems could alter traditional banking & settlement processes. • Regulatory decisions today may shape the future role of nat'l currencies. Implications For The Global Reset: Pillar 1: Transformation of the Global Monetary System. The expansion of stablecoins, tokenized assets & digital settlement networks represents one of the most significant changes to financial infrastructure in decades. The future monetary system may increasingly combine traditional currencies with blockchain-based technologies. Pillar 2: Competition for Financial Sovereignty. Governments & central banks are working to ensure they retain influence over monetary policy as private-sector digital assets gain adoption. The outcome of this struggle could shape global finance for years to come. Closing Insight: The debate surrounding stablecoins is no longer simply a cryptocurrency issue. It has evolved into a broader discussion about monetary sovereignty, financial stability & the future architecture of the global financial system. This is not just a digital currency story—it is a battle over who will control the next generation of money.

ARTICLE: Fox News contributor & Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen praised President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran while warning against giving Tehran financial relief in any future agreement. Speaking with Fox News host Mark Levin, Thiessen called Trump’s decisions to launch Operation Midnight Hammer & Operation Epic Fury “one of the most courageous decisions any president has made in my lifetime.” Thiessen said the operations “buried the Iranian nuclear program so deep in the ground” that Iran has allegedly acknowledged it cannot retrieve key materials without outside help, while also claiming the strikes rendered centrifuges inoperable & destroyed major elements of Iran’s military infrastructure. “My big concern with the deal is that the Iranians are down, but they’re not out,” Thiessen said. “We should not give them a hand to help them up by giving them a dime as part of any deal.” UST Weighs Using Iranian Frozen Assets To Help Gulf Allies Rebuild From Tehran-Linked Damage. ARTICLE: UST Secretary Scott Bessent has directed his team to assess whether Iranian assets could be used to help Gulf allies rebuild & repair damage caused by Iran during the ongoing conflict, according to a source familiar with the secretary’s thinking. “UST will utilize all tools available to allow Iranian assets to be made available to our Gulf allies to support rebuilding & repairs for any future damage caused by Iran,” the source said on background to FOX Business. The source added that Bessent also directed Treasury officials to assess conditions among Gulf allies & request “comprehensive estimates” of costs associated with repairing damage Iran has inflicted since the conflict began. Treasury is also considering whether Iranian assets could be used to support repairs for past damages tied to Iran, the source said. US To Iran...Your On Your Own. ARTICLE: Gen.

Jack Keane outlined the US strategy in ongoing negotiations with Iran, explaining that the US has no plans to offer concessions to the Islamic Republic that would unfreeze assets during a Saturday morning appearance on Fox News' "Saturday In America." "What we're trying to achieve in the negotiations is pretty simple; We want our maximalist demands that we would achieve if we were using military force. That is what we want from the regime," Keane said. "We don't intend to throw then a lifeline & unfreeze frozen assets to them & give them billions of Dollars so that they can recover, reverse the tenants & implementations of the deal & go back to where they were," he concluded. Recent stalls in US-Iran negotiations have tempered expectations raised by a May 28 Axios report, which claimed the sides had agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MOU), pending President Donald Trump's approval. That MOU reportedly included a provision to issue sanction waivers & allow Iran to sell oil freely, according to Axios. The sanction relief, according to the outlet, would have to be proportional to Iran's willingness to allow commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to resume. But Iran, according to The Jerusalem Post & other sources, balked at the proposal & demanded immediate release of their frozen assets, an ask the Trump Administration has yet to fulfill. In fact, the Trump UST Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued a fresh round of sanctions on Iranian liquified natural gas (LNG) networks Friday targeting "Iran’s shadow fleet, shadow banking networks & access to global trade," UST Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. Iran is demanding full compensation & the release of frozen assets for it's loses due to the war as part of the ceasefire deal.

Treat as rumors. Not verified. Your opine. TNT via Tishwash: The PM's Advisor: Al-Zidi's Government Has Taken Measures To Preserve The Purchasing Power Of The Dinar & Curb Inflation. ARTICLE: The PM's Financial Advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed on Saturday that the government, headed by Ali Falih Al-Zaidi, has taken measures to preserve the purchasing power of the Iraqi Dinar & curb inflation. Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that "the policy of stabilizing the official ER is based on a fundamental objective: protecting the external value of the nat'l currency & maintaining the stability of the General Orice Index." He pointed out that "the stability of the ER has contributed to strengthening confidence in the Iraqi Dinar & supporting the purchasing power of citizens." Salih added that "the relationship between the stability of the ER & the stability of prices of goods & services in the local market has remained strong, given the limited impact of the parallel market on the pricing system & the effectiveness of monetary policy." He explained that "financing imports through the official banking system & relying on the state's foreign reserves has contributed to providing imported goods at stable & controlled prices." He continued, stating that "government policies aimed at maintaining the stability of prices for public goods & services, along with the expansion of modern commercial distribution methods, particularly cooperative stores & advanced marketing models, have strengthened competition & contributed to reducing inflationary pressures & supporting price stability." Saleh explained that "among the most prominent factors putting pressure on the value of the nat'l currency are the decline in official reserves, uncontrolled monetary expansion & excessive reliance on oil revenues, which are currently subject to geopolitical constraints imposed on the freedom of energy markets, in addition to political & regional tensions & their impact on foreign currency flows & economic confidence." He emphasized that "raising the value of the Iraqi Dinar cannot be achieved through quick administrative decisions, but rather through a long-term reform process based on the stability of monetary & fiscal policies, diversification of nat'l income sources & strengthening confidence in the local currency." He noted that "the stability of the Dinar remains a direct reflection of the stability of the macroeconomy & its ability to withstand local & international changes, which is what the government is working on through a package of measures to strengthen the value of the Iraqi Dinar. These measures include working to enhance foreign reserves, diversify the nat'l economy & reduce dependence on oil, achieving stability in the balance of payments, as well as controlling the parallel market, reforming the banking system, expanding the use of electronic payment methods & promoting financial inclusion." Tishwash: Iraqi Government: Companies In The Kurdistan Region Must Get Their Final Financial Reports Approved in Baghdad. ARTICLE: A new decision by Baghdad creates problems for the foreign transfer process of companies in the Kurdistan Region, forcing them to pay taxes twice & register in the center. New Condition for Foreign TransfersStarting from June 1 of this year, the Iraqi government has imposed a new condition on companies in the Kurdistan Region. According to the decision, no company can carry out foreign transfers or send money through banks unless their final financial report (annual audit) is approved by the Iraqi Accountants & Auditors Association in Baghdad. This step comes alongside the implementation of the ASYCUDA system at the borders of the Region.Two Taxes & Two Reports. This decision places a heavy financial burden on companies in the Region, as they will now have to prepare their final financial reports twice. This means they must pay taxes twice — once to the Kurdistan Regional Government & once to the federal government in Baghdad. This significantly increases their operating costs.Marginalizing Accountants in the RegionAnother challenge of this decision is that banks will no longer accept approvals from legal accountants in the Kurdistan Region. Companies are now forced to register in Baghdad & only Iraqi (federal) accountants can approve their reports. Otherwise, their auditing & money transfer processes in banks will be disrupted. Kurdistan Delegation Visit to Baghdad To resolve this issue and discuss the implementation of the ASYCUDA system, a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government is scheduled to visit Baghdad in the coming days. The goal of the delegation is to address these new obstacles & find solutions to prevent further damage to companies & traders in the Kurdistan Region. Tishwash: Miles Caggins: Oil Companies Want Guarantees. ARTICLE: Miles Caggins, spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Petroleum Industry Association (Epicur). The former spokesman of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said that the main reason for the non-resumption of oil production companies in the Kurdistan Region was security threats & drone & missile attacks. Companies Were At Risk: Miles Caggins, in an exclusive interview with Channel 8, said that recently after the ceasefire between Iran & the US & the calm of the war situation, companies resumed operations secretly, but again the companies were attacked, so they stopped working. Guarantee Operational Security: He said the companies have clearly told the relevant authorities that they will not resume work until the security of their work is guaranteed. Debt Is Still Debt & Has Not Been Repaid: Regarding the $1 billion debt of the companies, which was agreed between the Iraqi government & the Kurdistan Regional Government, the former spokesman of Epicor said: "So far, the debt has not been recovered, but the companies have not made this the main problem. Resumption Of Corporate Operations: In a meeting between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) delegation & Iraqi PM Ali Zaydi, he called on the oil companies to resume operations & promised to implement their demands. Tishwash: Parliamentary Defense Committee: 4 Important Laws On The Parliamentary Agenda After The Recess. ARTICLE: The Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee confirmed on Thursday that 4 important laws will be discussed & undergo their 1st & 2nd readings after the end of the parliamentary recess. Committee member MP Yasser Watout told Al-Maalomah, “Four important laws will be discussed & undergo their 1st & 2nd readings, leading to a vote, after the end of the parliamentary recess, that is, after July 1st.” He added that “the most prominent of these laws concerns amending the law governing the service of the Internal Security Forces, in addition to other equally important laws.” He pointed out that “the Security & Defense Committee is serious about finalizing these laws & expediting the necessary procedures & amendments in order to complete the 1st & 2nd readings & proceed to a vote.” Watout emphasized that “these laws are of great importance in guaranteeing the rights of members of the security & military forces,” explaining that “the proposed amendments will take into account all opinions, including those of security leaders, to ensure the enactment of more effective & efficient laws.” Tishwash: MP: The Session To Complete al-Zaydi's Cabinet Will Be Held Soon & The Same Names Will Not Return. ARTICLE: MP Mohammed Karim Al-Baldawi, a member of the Coordination Framework, confirmed on Thursday that there is an agreement to hold a session of the House of Representatives in order to complete the vote on the remaining ministerial lineup of PM Ali Falih Al-Zidi’s government. Al-Baldawi told Al-Maalouma that "the political blocs are moving towards replacing the previous names nominated for the nine ministerial portfolios, and presenting new figures who are suitable for the requirements of the stage and to fill the vacant positions." He added that "through this approach, the parties seek to give themselves & society a greater sense of reassurance by putting forward new names that enjoy wider acceptance." Regarding the coordination framework, Al-Baldawi stressed that it is “strong & cohesive despite the existence of differing viewpoints on some contentious issues among its components,” indicating that “the framework represents the backbone of the political process & whoever bets on influencing its unity is mistaken & everyone must work to preserve it.” He pointed out that “weakening the coordination framework means weakening the entire political system in the country.” Political circles are awaiting the scheduling of a session to complete the vote on the cabinet of Ali Faleh al-Zaidi's government, aiming to resolve the dispute that arose from the previous session. This dispute stemmed from political accusations leveled against Speaker of Parliament Haibat al-Halbousi, alleging he deliberately obstructed the approval of certain ministerial nominees and prevented them from being presented for a vote of confidence.

Kimberly Armadeo: Why Countries Peg Their Currencies To The USD. ARTICLE: A dollar peg is when a country maintains its currency's value at a fixed ER to the USD. The country's central bank controls the value of its currency so that it rises & falls along with the USD. The Dollar's value fluctuates because it’s on a floating ER. At least 66 countries either peg their currencies to the USD or use the Dollar as their legal tender. 1- The Dollar is so popular because it's the world's reserve currency. World leaders gave it that status at the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. The runner-up is the Euro. Twenty-five countries peg their currencies to it. The 19 eurozone members use it as their currency. Key Takeaways: The Dollar peg is used to stabilize ER between trading partners. A country that pegs its currency to the USD seeks to keep its currency’s value low. A lower value currency vis-à-vis the Dollar allows the country’s exports to be very competitively priced. Compared to the floating ER, Dollar-pegging promotes anti-competitiveness in trade with the US. The Yuan’s peg to the Dollar allows the US to buy cheap imports from China. But the price of such an advantage is the loss of US manufacturing jobs. How It Works: A Dollar peg uses a fixed ER. A country's central bank promises to give you a fixed amount of its currency in return for a USD. The country must have lots of Dollars on hand to maintain this peg. As a result, most of the countries that use a USD peg have significant exports to the US. Their companies receive lots of Dollar payments. They exchange the Dollars for local currency to pay their workers & domestic suppliers. Central banks use the Dollars to purchase UST bonds. They do this to receive interest on their Dollar holdings. If they need to raise cash to pay their companies, they may sell Treasurys on the secondary market. A country's central bank will monitor its currency ER relative to the Dollar's value. If the currency falls below the peg, it needs to raise its value & lower the Dollar's value. It does this by selling Treasurys on the secondary market. That gives the bank cash to purchase local currency. By adding to the supply of Treasurys for sale in the market, their value drops, along with the value of the Dollar. This adjustment reduces the supply of local currency, raising its value & the peg is restored. Keeping the currencies equal is difficult since the Dollar's value changes constantly. That's why some countries peg their currencies' value to a Dollar range instead of an exact number. Example Of A Fixed Exchange Rate: China switched from a fixed exchange rate in July 2005. It is now more flexible but still managed with a close eye. 4 It prefers to keep its currency low to make its exports more competitive. China's currency power comes from its exports to America. The exports are mostly consumer electronics, clothing, and machinery. In addition, many US-based companies send raw materials to Chinese factories for cheap assembly. The finished goods become imports when they are shipped back to the US. Chinese companies receive American Dollars as payment for their exports, which they deposit into their banks in exchange for Yuan to pay their workers. Local Chinese banks transfer Dollars to China's central bank, which stockpiles them in its foreign currency reserves. The Chinese Central Bank holdings reduce the supply of Dollars available for trade. That puts upward pressure on the Dollar. China's central bank also uses the Dollars to purchase UST. It needs to invest its Dollar stockpile into something safe that also gives a return & there's nothing safer than Treasurys. China knows this will further strengthen the Dollar & lower the Yuan's value. Why Countries Peg Their Currencies To The Dollar: The USD's status as the world's reserve currency makes many countries want to peg. One reason is that most financial transactions & int'l trade are made in USD. Countries that are heavily reliant on their financial sector peg their currencies to the Dollar. Examples of these trade-reliant countries are Hong Kong, Malaysia & Singapore. Other countries that export a lot to the US peg their currencies to the Dollar to maintain competitive pricing. They try to keep the value of their currencies lower than the Dollar. The lower currency value gives them a comparative advantage by making their exports to America cheaper. Japan doesn't exactly peg the Yen to the Dollar. Its approach is similar to China. It tries to keep the Yen low compared to the Dollar because it exports so much to the US. Like China, it receives a lot of Dollars in return. As a result, the Bank of Japan is the largest purchaser of U.S. Treasurys. Other countries—like the oil-exporting nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council—must peg their currencies to the Dollar because oil is sold in Dollars. 6 - As a result, they have large amounts of Dollars in their sovereign wealth funds. These petrodollars are often invested in US businesses to earn a greater return. For example, Abu Dhabi invested petrodollars in Citigroup to prevent its bankruptcy in 2008. Countries that do a lot of trading with China will also peg their currencies to the Dollar. They want their exports to be competitive with the Chinese market. They want their export prices always to be aligned with the Chinese Yuan & pegging their currencies to the Dollar accomplishes that.

Here's another article related to the GCR...currency exchange by law... Rob Cunningham: Currency Exchange By Law. ARTICLE: The Currency Exchange By Law. Natural law separates creative power from corruptive power. Positive aligned with positive multiplies life, trust, order, value, peace & truth. Positive Mixed With Negative Does Not “Balance” Truth: It contaminates it. It converts soundness into compromise. Clarity into confusion & Trust into transaction: • What is true must not be traded for what is useful. • What is sound must not be blended with what is corrupt. • What is real must not be exchanged for imitation. Because once the positive is subordinated to the negative, the negative rules the exchange: Turns clarity into confusion & Trust into transaction. This is why evil/lies rarely begin by destroying the good/true, openly. It first blends with it, redefines it, monetizes it, then exchanges it for power. That is not religion or conspiracy: That is arithmetic, morality & natural law converging. True Currency Exchanges require honestly weighed & measured value, otherwise power accrues to those corrupting the exchange process. A Global Stablecoin Exchange System is a GENIUS Architectural upgrade that all but centralized fiat exchange racketeers hate. From 1 World Reserve Currency to 195 World Verifiable Stablecoins flips the perverted moneychanger tables right side up.

Here's some articles/with video of GCR-NESARA interests... -The Fed Just Made It’s Biggest Move Since 2008. -Could this event be the kick off of our GCR-Nesara? -We must have a level playing field. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Mark Moss: The Fed Just Made It’s Biggest Move Since 2008. ARTICLE: The financial world is abuzz with the talk of a significant transformation brewing at the heart of US monetary policy. A recent video outlines a compelling narrative regarding the new Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh & the most substantial monetary regime change witnessed since 2008. This isn’t just a tweak; it’s presented as a foundational overhaul, moving away from decades-old practices & setting a new course for the economy. Unlike his predec essors, who largely operated within established frameworks, Kevin Warsh is described as an architect of structural reform. His appointment is particularly noteworthy, having been handpicked by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Both Warsh & Bessent share a common background as former partners of the renowned investor Stanley Druckenmiller, bringing a potent blend of deep macroeconomic understanding & real-world investing acumen to the highest levels of economic stewardship. Their mission? To dismantle a legacy framework that, since 1971, has arguably linked government deficits to persistent inflationary pressures & cheap debt. Warsh’s strategy is multi-faceted, focusing on three key structural reforms designed to reshape how the Federal Reserve operates. The proposed changes are profound and aim to fundamentally rewrite the monetary playbook: Rethinking Inflation Measurement: At the core of this shift is a change in how inflation is measured. The legacy framework relied on the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation gauge. The new regime, however, proposes adopting a “trimmed mean PCE” metric. This alternative largely excludes volatile, one-off price shocks, which has a significant implication: inflation figures could appear closer to the Fed’s target without requiring drastic price declines. This strategic adjustment could enable the Fed to potentially adjust interest rates while maintaining the narrative of controlled inflation. Eliminating Forward Guidance: The era of explicit forward guidance, often characterized by the Fed’s “dot plot,” appears to be drawing to a close. Warsh’s approach seeks to dismantle this system, moving towards a monetary policy focused more on direct rate-setting rather than liquidity interventions. This doctrinal break represents a significant departure from the practices of the last four Fed chairs, who largely operated within a similar inflation-targeting paradigm tied to a fiscal-monetary symbiosis. The goal is a more autonomous & market-driven approach to monetary policy. Shrinking The Balance Sheet: To reduce reliance on quantitative easing (QE), a hallmark of post-2008 monetary policy, the new regime aims to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet. This move signals a desire to return to more conventional tools for managing economic stability, lessening the dependence on large-scale asset purchases that have characterized recent decades. These monetary reforms are not isolated; they are presented as integral to a broader national economic strategy. The video highlights a focus on financing critical initiatives such as re-industrialization, the development of critical mineral mining & refining capabilities, advancements in energy infrastructure & leadership in the burgeoning AI technology race. This strategic alignment echoes historic debt management strategies, particularly the post-World War II period where robust economic growth helped erode the burden of nat'l debt rather than relying solely on outright repayment. The outlook suggests a dynamic where inflation is expected to run “hot but controlled,” asset prices could outpace inflation & real interest rates might remain low, all designed to fuel this ambitious growth agenda. Within this evolving landscape, certain assets are highlighted as playing unique roles. Bitcoin & gold are positioned as key “liquidity sponges” or productive stores of value. The idea is that these assets could absorb monetary expansion without experiencing significant devaluation, offering a stable haven amidst economic shifts. Intriguingly, the video suggests an institutional endorsement of Bitcoin, recognizing its potential as “digital gold” for younger generations within this new monetary framework. Ultimately, the video conveys a powerful message: the monetary “train” of deficit spending & easy money is unlikely to be halted. For individuals & investors, the imperative becomes deciding whether to position themselves to potentially benefit from this new regime or risk being left behind as the anticipated economic boom unfolds.

Now does the statement from @MazinAlEshaiker a week or so ago about pegging the IQD to USD at 1:1 make more sense to you now? Senator Cynthia Lummis: (on X) The Clarity Act doesn't pick winners. It creates a level field where the best ideas win. That's how America is supposed to work. I swear you all wake up 1st thing in the morning looking for something to disappoint you. Iraqi OFFICIALS have said on multiple occasions that the 3 Zero Project is for their country internally. The revaluation is for the external int'l markets. That is why the 1:1 is financially considered a revaluation. Let Iraq help their people 1st by a in-country redenomination. Then they will help the world by revaluation. They can not do this without balancing their books 1st. Luigi's two cents worth... It appears everything is coming together on or before the US 250th. HUGE changes in Iraq & the US are in the works. One would have to be blind or living in a cave to not see what's going on. Trump hinted our 250th will be an event to be celebrated & remembered.
