I know with all the forthcoming intel/info we've had..., the promise made by Sudani to the people...we all are speculating the next move shortly from Iraq as the blessing we've all (including the Iraqis) long awaited, I hope and pray we're not setting ourselves up for another disappointment from more of Iraq's capabilities for another set back like we've been used to seeing....praying for all this to go well this time around with no more delays.

Article: "Al-Sudani: Iraq is a country full of opportunities and its projects amount to 400 billion dollars"400 billion x 1310 = 524 trillion dinar...ummmmm….i don’t think so. Budget ain’t that big! Unless you have a roundabout 3:1 rate the opposite direction.

Question: "So you're telling me we should sell our dinar because it's about to lose us a lot of money?"
I'm saying we don't know what's going to happen. There's a possibility we can wake up tomorrow and it's 1 to 1 and they haven't deleted the zeros a lot of people are millionaires. There's a possibility we wake up tomorrow and they delete the zeros and we have to exchange it for the new currency and then they change it 1 to 1 and you're not a millionaire.
Article quote: "
Removing zeros off the Iraqi Dinar can indeed impact liquidity issues in Iraq. '
By re-denominating the currency and removing zeros, the Central Bank of Iraq aims to reduce transaction costs and make it easier for people to carry less physical money. With a lower denomination, larger amounts can be replaced with fewer notes...This can potentially enhance liquidity management within the country's financial system." So the deletion of the zeros could help Iraq with their liquidity issues...

[Q&A portion of Al-Sudani interview]
Question: "Is the government thinking of revaluing the dinar and readjusting the value of the dinar due to the current circumstances in the market or do you see it to stay the same?"
Al-Sudani's answer: "This policy is dictated by the central bank and the government abide by what the bank decides. I believe we are in the best status we could be in and we have actually had an assessment which has given much trust, higher trust at a higher level from different global parties...This is going to raise the level or value of the Iraqi dinar. There is policy that is consistent policy that the central bank is using...
"
MILITIA MAN: Deletion of the zeros project, is that what they're talking about? If you're going to raise the value of the currency you're going to have to do something to it and that's the exchange rate.
You don't just LOP three zeros off a currency and say, 'Snip! Go use this'. It doesn't work that way. They have to raise the value...We know their reserves are $110 to $112 billion, they have gold, they have all the new electronic systems, taxes and tariffs...tourism, agriculture, liquid gas, all that stuff added into this is going to benefit them. Basically what is he saying? They're going to raise the level of the value of the Iraqi dinar. That's really powerful...
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Khalil Ghazi, A member of the Iraqi parliament's finance committee, revealed to Kurdistan24 that the budget amendment for 2024 has been finalized by the Council of Ministers and is now awaiting the return of the Iraqi Prime Minister from Washington for final review.
Iraq's budget deficit has increased by 16 trillion dinars in the past year, bringing the estimated deficit for this year's budget bill to more than 80 trillion dinars.
The allocation of the budget to provinces in central and southern Iraq, especially those facing high poverty rates and service issues, has caused conflict among factions in parliament. These provinces are dissatisfied with the share of the budget allocated to them.
The Iraqi budget is composed of three main components: revenues, expenditures, and a budget deficit. Revenues include oil exports, taxes, and customs duties, while expenditures cover government spending in various sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and defense. The budget deficit occurs when expenditures exceed revenues, and it can be financed through borrowing or international aid. LINK

“There are also concerns about lowers interest rates on investment in U.S. government bonds, which has led to investing in gold as a safe haven,” he added. Nouri concluded by “the geopolitical reasons for the Russian-Ukrakranian war and the war on the people of Gaza by the Zionist entity are all reasons that pushed the rise in gold prices globally.” Gold prices rose on Friday due to risk absilitance in financial markets. By 04:29 GMT, gold in spot transactions had risen 0.3% to $2386.05 an ounce after jumping briefly to $2417.59 earlier in the session, hoving near an all-time high of $2431.29 it recorded last Friday.

Weekend News with MarkZ and Charlie Ward and Zester
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
MZ: We start the podcast with thecbdgurus and talk about anything that comes up. We will be sharing a conference room with Charlie Ward during his Insider's club podcast.
Member: Good morning MarkZ , Charlie Ward and family
MZ: Rumble is not allowed in Brazil so we will be back on Rumble on Tuesday.
MZ: This will be interesting this morning as we are doing two “Live streams” this morning. Charlie and I decided it was better to do this together so you guys can see us both. Go ahead and ask what you want.
Member: When?
MZ: When money or Nesara or when things change?
CW: I have always said throughout this journey that the collapse of the dollar and the Euro would have to be done first. When the collapse of the dollar and the Euro happens while Biden is in office….I suggest before November.
MZ: I suggest well before November.
Member: For the love of God, collapse already!!!
CW: The fiat dollar will be replaced by an asset backed dollar. And a level playing field. That is where we are heading.
MZ: There continues to be phenomenal news from the bond side. More and more sources say they are insisting on asset backed currency for the first payment. It was supposed to be in fiat so not certain how that will work- but, I’m following it.
Member: So if what was said the other day about bond holders 1% did the system change so the 1% will now be gold backed??? So our currency will be gold backed before or same time ?
MZ: What I think is the best part is Sudani just landed a few hours ago back in Iraq after a very interesting tour in the US. He took questions during a Q&A and was asked about the revaluation of the dinar. He said specifically that yes that was under the auspices of the CBI but we are very much working on that direction. That is paraphrasing and not exact because of the translation. But that is phenomenal news imo.
Member: MM says “Sudanis big announcement is scheduled for 8 pm Sunday in Iraq. AKA as the same time as the opening of the forex market. “
Member: Charlie are you heading to S. Africa for the RV?
CW: No, somebody made that up….not true. I will go someday when I have asset backed dollars to go with
CW: Mark and I are here to get the truth out- not just tell stories to get clicks. Events like this allow Mark and I time to spend together and cross check information. None of us know everything. We all know bits and pieces.
CW: There is money moving around. Mobilization funds.
MZ: Like Charlie said there is money starting to move. Mobilization money for logistics. We are seeing funds moving. We know for a fact that money is moving.
CW: When assets are moving they sign contracts ..then they need to get the assets to the buyer to verify the assets. The assets are tons of gold, dinar dong-whatever…..When a buy commits to buying he wants to touch it, feel it, smell it. Because the numbers are huge. Then they have to move it which costs a lot for security. We are in the stage now where stuff is being moved so liquidity can start. This is the foundation for the liquidity we need.
Member: Charlie was there really Vatican gold flown to the US?
CW: There was 650 plane loads taken out of the Vatican plus a number of ships. More than 8 ships. It was taken first to the US then dispatched elsewhere. When Trump took office Ft. Knox was empty. There were a few IOU notes….but, Everything was gone so they managed to fill Ft. Knox then send the rest to other locations where the assets are now being held. Secure locations.
MZ: I would assume these locations are not in the US.
CW. No they are not. Different locations.
Member: CHINA FORGAVE ALL ZIMBABWE DEBTS… THIS IS HUGE FOR THE STRENGTH OF THE ZIM
CW: And that has pissed off the Federal Reserve and the deep state. When you have debt they can control you. That is what they have done to many countries. China could wipe out everyone’s debt.
Member: So how do we know which bank system is good or bad?
Member: CBDC = Bad Guys. and. QFS = Good Guys
Member: Central banking system is living within a box. Quantum is freedom outside of that box.
Member: Florida has passed a law, No CBDC’s! None! Texas also!
MZ: The difference between the central bank digital currency and the USTNs is the CBDC is used for control….and ours is not.
CW: The biggest difference between the CBDC and the Quantum financial system is one is asset backed and one is not. The one that is not asset backed is centralized …the one that is asset backed is not centralized and we will be managing our own fuds…we will be our own banks.
Zester joins the stream at this point.
Zester: The central bank digital currency would be fully controlled and the government will decide what you spend. . If you don’t spend it in the right places they can remove your wallet.
CW: This is a war- not a game….. On the CBDC side you have the elites, the globalists and the cabal. On the USTN asset backed QFS side you have Putin, Xi from China , Mahdi from India, The Ayatolla of Iran and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and a number of others that are involved with the new system.
CW: The way you can tell the good system from the bad system is the good one is “Asset backed” With the Quatum financial system is has to be Asset Backed to even work.
Member: All countries are going through the same thing at the same time in the shadows.
Member: Mark/Charlie: Has anyone seen a confirmed cut sheet on the new USTN yet?
MZ: I was privileged to share a cut sheep distributed in Iraq for currencies as low as $250 which is worth right now- .19 cents…but just artist rederings for the USTN
CW. Yes I also saw the artist’s rendering about 3 years ago…but not the latest ones.
Member: Yes I hear the new bank notes are in waiting. WWG1WGA. All 209 countries will move together! We must stand up! Having the truth is most helpful! Grateful you guys met Charlie and understand NESARA GESARA
Member: Thank you for all you do and it was an amazing pod cast this morning have a great day!
