 Monday Evening News with MarkZ 

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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: Hope everyone had a good day today

Member: Like the kids in the back seat said....."Are we there yet...." The answer is closer that we might think

Member: Mark I do have a question. Who has the authority to flip the switch and start the RV.

MZ: As we understand it there is a crew of 6-7 individuals that decide the timing. Some of those are in the Chinese banking families that are putting up the gold (not associated with the CCP) 

Member:  The rumor is the whales are getting paid this week…..fingers crossed.

MZ: So now for the rumors running around. My finance ministry connection in Iraq is very excited. We are getting reports that they did indeed put the budget into effect today. And we will see those articles  all over the papers tomorrow morning. 

MZ: He says this was an enormous, key piece that needed to be done before they could change the value. 

MZ: The banking side is very quiet. Some group folks are supposed to get some updates this evening. I do not know if they will be able to share or not. Depends on sensitivity and do not want to compromise their position. I do not blame them.

Member: once we sign NDA’s I will be as quiet as a mouse too. 

MZ: Overall still positive stuff. Nothing negative. I don’t have a great idea on timing but they still are looking between the 15th and the 18th…If this is accurate tomorrow should be a wham bam day. I really hope they are. 

Member: Tomorrow is the 18th…so something needs to happen tonight. 

Member: Any news on CMKM????

MZ: Nothing new but I do have a call with my best CMKX contact on Wed. Should know more then. 

Member: since there is so much activity going on in Iraq, do you still think all the currencies will go in one basket, or will Iraq go solo?

Member: I remember hearing that all the countries will Revalue to their currencies real value …and then the reset will happen when all world currencies will be at parity of 1 to 1…so shortly after the RV- we will have a reset…hope thats right. 

MZ: This is a great article “ Breaking: New Gold Backed Currency launching Aug 22”  From the Birch Gold Group.  41 countries are on the waiting list to join. They are giving us dates…to me this is solid proof a reset is coming. Sound money…commodity backed money is coming.  

MZ: Try not to lose hope or faith this close to the finish line. 

Member: If BRICS goes gold-backed the dollar will drop/fail...so what will that do to our RV if we do not go gold backed at same time?

Member: The Us needs to change to gold backed or whither and die…..no trading partners want to trade with toilet paper fiat notes….imo 

Member: So looks like Aug 22nd is our new date to watch……

MZ: “$200,000,000,000 exits JP Morgan chase in one year as customers withdraw cash amid US  banking concerns.”  The banks are hurting…especially the regional and smaller ones. 

MZ: ”Feds borrowing over $5 Billion per day as programs face insolvency”  We cannot afford this. 

Member: Nader said “2 days”

MZ: Hopefully about a change in value? 

Member: Mark, please tell us what you know about protocol 20? We are hearing that we cannot RV until that happens and then that’s August 21.

Member: Mark- many of us really like when you do a RV news segment with the hat… It;s a big time saver on the replay……and so helpful …..some of us work a couple jobs and have no time to watch the entire call twice a day…... …Thanks for all you do. 

Member: Please heal the broken people in this community Make well the sick, restore happiness to those in despair. Bring love to the lonely, food for the hungry, and peace to our World. In Jesus name. Amen.

Member: I hope everyone has a beautiful night with restful sleep and with dreams of a better world!

Member:  THANK YOU MARK, MODS AND EVERYONE

Mod:  THERE ARE SOME FAKE ACCOUNTS ON TELEGRAM & YOUTUBE TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE. YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE, SO DON’T TAKE THE BAIT BY IMPERSONATORS

Markz will be on rumble on SATURDAYS ONLY so he can speak his mind. You will find him on YouTube during the week.

NEWS ABOUT THE POLITICAL STATUS OF IRAQ, 17 JULY

 The Finance Committee Is Likely To Launch The Implementation Of The Budget Law Tomorrow

2023-07-17 Shafaq News/ The Parliamentary Finance Committee ruled out, on Monday, the impact of the Iraqi government's appeals on articles of the general budget law in the continuation of the law, suggesting that the implementation of its articles will start from tomorrow.

Committee member, Representative Jamal Koujar told Shafaq News agency, "The appeals submitted by the government against articles and paragraphs of the budget law are the ones that stop, not the budget law."

Cougar suggested that the cabinet session tomorrow, Tuesday, would be the beginning of the launch, and the implementation of the budget law in ministries and state institutions.

Cougar stressed that the Ministry of Finance should be ready to implement the budget law, and we do not know the reasons for the delay in implementing the law.

On the third of July, the head of the federal government, Muhammad al-Sudani, submitted an appeal to the Federal Supreme Court against a number of paragraphs of the budget law, with a request to the court to issue a (state order) to stop the implementation of these articles after the law entered into force until the court decided to challenge the constitutionality of these articles.

On June 12, the Iraqi parliament voted on the financial budget for the three years (2023-2024-2025), with a value of 198.9 trillion Iraqi dinars ($153 billion) for each year.   LINK

COFFEE WITH MARKZ (SPANISH), 17 JULY

"Café con MarkZ" Charla del lunes por la mañana 7-17-2023

Miembro: Bienvenidos a otro lunes por la mañana...
Miembro: como una taza de café vacía, el RV no está aquí hoy
Miembro: Esperemos que Mark tenga buenas noticias... Creo que va a ser una buena semana.
Miembro: Mark Z, ¿puedo entregar mi aviso de dos semanas?
Miembro: ¿Es esta nuestra semana Mark?

MZ: La charla está comenzando bien esta semana. Veamos en qué se convierte.
Miembro: ¿Alguna noticia de los centros de redención?
MZ: Mi fuente no funcionó el domingo.
MZ: En Irak: Listado de acciones en la bolsa de valores iraquí... Irak está presionando a las empresas electrónicas para que estén en la bolsa de valores. ¿Porque es esto importante? Porque obliga a otro nivel de transparencia. Serán responsables ante los accionistas y los accionistas podrán ver lo que están haciendo... y que lo están haciendo de manera honesta y legítima. En mi opinión, estas son noticias bastante importantes que salen de Irak... y están preparados para esto.
MZ: Han modernizado la banca y aplastado la corrupción.
MZ: Para la implementación del presupuesto... Todavía estoy esperando una actualización de Irak. Mi último informe el sábado por la tarde fue que estaban esperando el "ir" ayer sobre el presupuesto. Ya está aprobado... solo necesita ponerse en vigencia con todo el dinero moviéndose donde se supone que debe hacerlo.
MZ: Mi contacto de finanzas cree que esta es una pieza clave antes de que cambien la tasa. Así que lo estamos viendo.
MZ: Hay mucha presión del pueblo iraquí sobre el gobierno para liberar estos fondos presupuestarios... esto es algo bueno.
Miembro: Pensé que Irak tenía prisa por hacer las cosas... ahora parece que se están estancando deliberadamente de nuevo.
Miembro: ¿Parece que todavía hay mucho que debe suceder antes de un cambio de tarifa final? ¿O esto sucederá como una inundación?
Miembro: ¿Cuándo va a utilizar IRAK los billetes de denominación más baja? Quizás entonces veamos su nueva tarifa.
Miembro: El propietario de un banco de Irak dijo que los bancos están emitiendo billetes de 50k y 100k con instrucciones de que deben usarse SOLO para transacciones entre bancos.
Miembro: ¿No hace que Irak se vea estúpido en la forma en que están tratando a la revaluación?
Miembro: Drake dijo que Irak o Irán no iban primero... GCR sucederá de una vez en todo el mundo
Miembro: A fines de agosto, las naciones BRICS van a anunciar su visto bueno, ¿quizás IRAK esperará hasta entonces?
Miembro: El martes, 18/07/23, al atardecer, marca el comienzo del año nuevo islámico. ¿
Buen momento
para un RV?
Miembro: De Ricitos de oro: Ripple visto como un producto básico y una moneda bancaria Ponga todo esto junto y tendrá un patrón oro dentro de una nueva economía digital que está a punto de ser aprobada en el Congreso.
Miembro: Mi contacto en Chase Bank dijo que el tipo de cambio del bolívar será .3531. Eso significa que si tienes 100 millones de bolívares recibirás unos 35 millones de dólares. Esperemos que esto sea correcto.
Miembro: Eso sería increíble…..
Miembro: Comenzando a creer que el RV no es real... nunca pasa nada... muchas palabras... ninguna acción.
Miembro: si alguien piensa que Dinar es una estafa, pregúntese por qué el Tesoro tiene miles de millones de dinares
Miembro: Hay tanta evidencia de que el dinar iraquí se va a RV. Para aquellos que se preocupan por leer o pensar.
Miembro: Compré Dinar y me hicieron firmar un papel diciendo que era bajo mi propio riesgo y una estafa jajaja
Miembro: ¿Qué pasó con las 144 mil acusaciones que se suponía que iban a arrestar a la cábala?
MZ: Sí, lo que sea que les haya pasado... Eran reales... los vimos en la lista... esa es una gran pregunta.
Miembro: Escuché que todavía hay un par de cientos de miles de acusaciones más
Miembro: ¡Pensé que todas las acusaciones iban al mismo tiempo que el RV!
Miembro: distracciones, falsas esperanzas, distracciones, falsas esperanzas.........
Miembro: Los últimos vestigios de la Cábala están siendo eliminados. No quedará ninguno-imo.
Miembro: Me pregunto qué pasó con esos billones de dólares que se reportaron desaparecidos el 10 de septiembre de 2001.
Miembro: ¿Cuándo comienzan los "mejores rumores de Acción de Gracias y Navidad"? Demasiado temprano ?
Miembro: Mark: parece que nunca sucede nada públicamente en este RV o Nesara, para el caso. ¿Cuáles son las probabilidades de que pasemos por otra temporada navideña sin citas para vehículos recreativos?
Miembro: En mi opinión, todos nos despertaremos y de la noche a la mañana todo se hizo entre bastidores...
MZ: Tal vez... Hemos oído eso muchas veces... nos acostaremos un sábado o un domingo por la noche y despertaremos el lunes por la mañana en un mundo completamente nuevo... en otras palabras, de repente.
Miembro: Orando para que "de repente" suceda muy pronto.
Miembro: Mark, ¿crees que esto se prolongará hasta septiembre u octubre, como dicen algunos?
MZ: No creo que dure tanto.
MZ: “ La economía de China está cayendo en deflación” . Próximamente en Estados Unidos. Esto es lo que he estado advirtiendo.
Miembro: En el último concierto de Phil, dijo que los bancos de la UE han colapsado... pero aún no lo han anunciado. Una vez anunciado, los bancos estadounidenses colapsarán.
MZ: Han estado chocando silenciosamente por un tiempo ahora. Hemos visto gobiernos interviniendo con acuerdos de rescate. Todos están implosionando silenciosamente en el lado bancario. Sin embargo, no sé si se han estrellado por completo todavía. Pero estoy de acuerdo en que Estados Unidos es el siguiente. Esto es lo que sucede si no se reinician. La moneda fiduciaria siempre falla... Estamos en ese ciclo.
Miembro: Gracias Mark por tener un lugar al que podamos acudir para obtener su información y opiniones y poder expresar nuestras frustraciones... tú y los moderadores sois geniales.

What’s gone on with IQD today news from all aver coming out BY NADER FROM MID EAST

"LATEST INTEL" BY BEARDED PATRIOT VIA TELEGRAM, 17 JULY

 Bearded Patriot, Telegram: 

According to the latest Intel, Iraq was waiting for the US Treasury to get off their petunias and make a payment to the Bond holders and have it go liquid! The Iraqis DO NOT TRUST the U.S. Treasury because we have lied and manipulated the Iraqis for so many years. 

As of now, the first payments that could go liquid to the bond holders was this weekend. This should open the door for Iraq to move forward of the revaluation of their currency and go international. Iraq was approximately eight hours ahead of us, so the announcement that Iraq promised their citizens to be on Tues. 18 July will be late Mon. night to early morning Tues. 18 July in the US.

"RV HIGHLIGHTS" BY WOLVERINE, SHEILA, PATRIOT ROD STEELE AND MARKZ, 17 JULY

Wolverine: Guys we are closer than I can say at the moment. It is all confidential hush-hush things are quiet right now but everything is looking good. That’s all I can say.

 Shiela: We will witness the adoption of many laws that has been on the shelf. Oil and Gas! We’ve been waiting for that one since 2004! The budget is supposed to be opened and implemented tomorrow Sun. 16 July by the CBI that was in that big financial meeting that ends Mon. 17 July. “The opening ceremony emphasized the role of the Central Bank of Iraq in achieving financial and economic stability! Those little fluttering butterflies in my stomach are full blown Kamikaze bastards now.

Sun. 16 July Tweet Patriot Rod Steele: The Dollar Just Crashed – Second Inflation Wave Coming As Bidenomics Fails-The Rest of the Story is Fed Res Interest Payments to New US Treasury Defaulted! The Can Kicking has Hit the Wall!

The Feds had until Sat. 15 July to pay back their trillions in debt. Didn’t happen. They were now required to turn over all their assets to the New US Treasury – all run on ISO 20022 standard and asset-backed protocols. The Corporation is now defunct! Welcome to the New Republic of the United States! You no longer are chattel sold on the stock exchange, you are an independent sovereign! You should be excited for this day! Freedom!

Fri. 14 July Evening MarkZ: Still hearing lots of expectations for the 15th through the 18th. Many on the group side are saying that. I have been unable to contact my Redemption Center contact to find out if they are working or on call this weekend. I am going straight to voice mail. This is extremely unusual. This could be an enormous tell…or absolutely nothing.

Coffee with MarkZ 07/17/2023

Thank you MarkZ for all your time, and encouragement daily….. PDK

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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: Welcome to just another Monday morning...

Member: like an empty cup of coffee the RV is not here today

Member: Hopefully Mark has good news….I think It’s going to be a good week

Member: Mark Z, can i turn in my two week notice?

Member: Is this our week Mark?

MZ: The chatter is starting out good this week. Lets see what it turns into. 

Member: Any news from redemption centers?

MZ: My source didn’t work on Sunday. 

MZ: In Iraq:  Listing shares on the Iraqi stock exchange… Iraq is pushing electronic companies to be on the stock exchange. Why is this important?  Because it forces another level of transparency. They will be responsible to shareholders and shareholders will be able to see what they are doing…and that they are doing things honestly and legitimately. Imo this is pretty big news coming out of Iraq…..and they are prepared for this. 

MZ: They have modernized banking and squashed corruption. 

MZ: For the implementation of the budget….I am still waiting for an update out of Iraq. My last report on Saturday afternoon was they were expecting the “go” yesterday on the budget.  It is already approved…just needs to be put into affect with all the money moving where it is supposed to. 

MZ: My finance contact over there thinks this is a serious key piece before they change the rate. So we are watching it.  

MZ: There is a lot of pressure from the Iraqi people on the government to release these budget funds……this is a good thing. 

Member: I thought Iraq was in a hurry to get things done….now it feels like they are deliberately stalling again. 

Member: It sounds like there’s still a lot that needs to happen before a final rate change???? Or will this happen like a flood?

Member: When is IRAQ going to be using the lower denom bills? Maybe  then we will see their new rate 

Member: An Iraq bank owner said Banks are being issued 50k & 100k notes w/instructions that they are to be used for ONLY bank-bank transactions.

Member: doesn't it make Iraq look stupid in the way they are treating the revaluing?

Member: Drake said no Iraq or Iran going first.... GCR will happen all at once around the world


Member: In late August the BRICS nations are going to announce their go ahead,  Maybe  IRAQ will wait till then???

Member: On Tuesday, 7/18/23, at sundown, marks beginning of Islamic new year. Good time for an RV?

Member: From Goldilocks:  Ripple being seen as a commodity and a banking coin Put all of this together and you have a gold standard inside a new digital economy that is about to be approved in Congress.

Member: My contact at Chase Bank said that the Bolivar exchange rate will be .3531. That means that if you have 100 million Bolivar you will receive about 35 million dollars. Lets hope this is correct.

Member: That would be amazing…..

Member: Starting to believe the RV is not real..nothing ever happens…..lots of words..no action. 

Member: If anyone thinks Dinar is a scam ask yourself why the Treasury holds billions of dinar

Member: There is so much evidence that the Iraqi dinar is going to RV. For those out there who cares to read or think. 

Member: I bought Dinar and they made me sign a paper saying it was at my own risk and a scam lol

Member: Whatever happened to the 144 thousand indictments that were supposed to be arresting cabal?

MZ: Yes- whatever happened to those….They were real…we saw them listed…that is a great question. 

Member: I heard There are still a couple hundred thousand more indictments

Member: I thought all the indictments were going at the same time as the RV!

Member: distractions, false hope, distractions, false hope.........

Member: The last vestiges of the Cabal is being removed. There will be none left-imo.

Member: I wonder what ever happened to those trillions of dollars that were reported missing September 10th 2001?

Member: When do the “best ever Thanksgiving, Christmas rumors start ?? To early ?

Member: Mark - It seems nothing ever happens publicly on this RV or Nesara, for that matter. What are the odds we;ll go through another Christmas season with no RV appointments?

Member: IMO we will all wake up and overnight everything was done behind the scences….. 

MZ: Perhaps……We have heard that a lot….we will go to bed on a Saturday or Sunday night and wake up Monday morning to a whole new world….in other words suddenly. 

Member: Praying that ”suddenly” happens really soon. 

Member: Mark do you think this will drag out to September or October-like some are saying?

MZ: I don’t think it will go that long. 

MZ: “China’s economy is slipping into deflation”  .Coming to America soon. This is what I have been warning about.  

Member:  On Phil ‘s last live he said EU banks have crashed….but not announced yet. Once announced then US banks will crash. 

MZ: They have been quietly crashing for awhile now. We have seen governments stepping in with bail out deals. They are all quietly imploding on the banking side. I don’t know if they have fully crashed though yet.  But I agree that the US is next.  This is what happens if they don’t reset. Fiat currency always crashes….We are in that cycle. 

Member: Thanks Mark for having a place we can come for your intel and opinions and are able to express our frustrations……you and the mods are awesome. 

Member: Have a great day everyone……

DINARLAND UPDATE, 17 JULY

 MarkZ


[via PDK]

From my Redemption Contact in Virginia…a very short, crisp…..”working Sunday”…don’t know what that mean yet.  Contacts still saying the 15th thru the 18th…In Iraq they are pushing forward…to be able to process some world class events…

Mountain Goat

Article:
“IRAQ: REVITALIZING THE STOCK MARKET”

Article quotes:
“…there is an urgent need to activate the role of the stock market as a mirror reflecting economic activity in the country“;

It is said that the size of the cash block that is hoarded outside the banking circulation space amounts to about 70 percent of the cash issued

Remember a lot of this cash is outside the country in our pockets and they won’t get it unless they reinstate the dinar and we can go to the bank and exchange at a rate we want as investors. Heck they sold us this currency in a time of need and now, as they are so rich, they have to pay us for it with a higher exchange rate.

Frank26 (KTFA)

If you’re fearful that all of a sudden you cannot exchange your Iraqi dinar anymore because the CBI says that they’re all null and void, the IMF has rules and regulations and one of their rules is you have to notify the populace of your time frame.  They cannot necessarily come out and say, ‘We’re going to float our currency.’ Without telling you how long they’ll float their currency.  Some countries don’t play fairly but I think Iraq has to because of the way they’re under the thumb of the IMF, WB, WTO and US treasury.  I think they’ll follow the rules and laws.

MilitiaMan (KTFA)

Sudani…asked to come to the USA and was denied. My view is he was told…three items to get to work on. He did. We now see the UST show up after. So, it appears an assessment was made as to where they were in getting this completed and likely found they were sitting on the ball on the side lines.. not good. Hence the arrests, the Rafadain Bank shake up, etc.. The level of focus now is fascinating to me. The IFC / WB still in town!!  Al-Alaq having had a progress report that looked good !
