A contact went to the bank (Big 4) today to buy more currency.
He was told by the manager, who acknowledges the RV, not to bother, because he would be coming back to exchange in "two days."
Same contact was also told that "this week" the market would drop "2,000 points."
That's not enough to make an impact. I think he misheard and was told the market would drop TO 2,000 POINTS. Don't forget, Andy Schectman predicted this on my interview with him two weeks ago. (link below).
He said the US markets could drop to the value of Gold, which is around $2,454 an ounce.
Also hearing the Crowdstrike hackers got access to the crash protection algorithms, and that when the plunge begins, they won't be able to halt trading. This is how it will be portrayed anyway.

Member: Well good morning to all today….. the question of the day will it happen tomorrow
Member: Feels like Groundhog Day every day.
Member: Sure would be nice to know when this is coming.
MZ: The news is staying consistent….We just want it now. There is nothing negative though….I am still hearing a lot of chatter about between now and the 15th. A lot of well- connected people still think this is a high possibility.
MZ: I thought this was interesting “ Iraq and Iran to create a new economic city.” This is similar with what China did when they were experimenting building new cites for new systems for economies, governments ect……They created enterprise zones like Shanghai and Hong Kong. I think this is great for Iraq and Iranian people….
MZ: “ BRICS confirms 159 participants and will adopt new payment system” So a new payment system for countries to get around the SWIFT system. And the launch is coming. Think about this…. …. The western banking system and SWIFT have ruled the world for quite some time. 159 countries stepping out of it….thats 3/4ths of the world leaving the SWIFT system…..and all of those commodities stepping out of that system …If you don’t think we are winning…you are not paying attention.
MZ: They have laid the groundwork…We are watching these nations aggregate the gold …and they are openly stating they will move to a gold backed system with 40% gold and 60 % a basket of currencies. Very much asset backed compared to what we have now.
Member: I wonder with all these countries going to a gold backed currency… why is the U.S. going to be the last one?
Member: If the rest of the world goes gold backed- The US will be forced to as well…or have no one to trade with……The rest of the world does not want worthless fiat moneybacked by nothing.
Member: Seen a commercial for TD for 5% interest on investment as we prepare to move to gold standard
Member: I heard many groups have received money but it’s not spendable yet?
MZ: I have heard some saying they have received money but not allowed to distribute it yet.
Member: That seems to confirm the “shotgun start”!!
Member: Is this our week Mark?
MZ: I pray this is our week. We don’t know for sure if it is or isn’t….but I will keep plugging no matter what.
Member: Mark a couple months ago you said that you thought this has "started" Do you still feel the same now?
MZ: I still absolutely think it has started.
Member: Mike Bara posted last night bonds are moving
Member: Could it be that it goes live at the start of the 4th quarter since it’s the new fiscal year ? Starts oct 1st.
Member: Kuwait say that they weren't reevaluating for a while and low and behold they revalued!!
Member: Mark, so many are running out of gas. Some are giving up. I don’t think many of us have much left in the tank
MZ: I hear you…..But the only option is to give up. I know in the end we win and fundamentals rule.
Member: I’ve been feeling beat (out of gas) too. But I re-grouped, prayed….Keep the faith and be open to receive hope.
Member: Giving up is not an option.
Meber: Thanks Mark and mods….Everyone enjoy your day

[via PDK] ...my expected window opens today…(11th through the 15th).
Question: Is your gut still screaming between the 11th and the 15th?
MarkZ: Yes it is…. I know that chatter from Iraq has been fantastic.

[via PDK]
...article from Baghdad today: “It will turn the parallel market upside down-
Sources: Expected decisions from the Central Bank will confuse markets and raise exchange rates”
When they say raise exchange rates…they are talking “in the wrong direction”...
So if one US dollar now equals 1310 dinar…it will go to one US dollar equals 1500 dinar or so.
So what they are going to do is have an auction on US dollars. They are planning on injecting more US dollars into the markets and buy dinar off of the streets.
“To help support the exchange rate” is the claim. And to help clean up the sanctions and money laundering
Think about this. It will hurt the value of the dinar temporarily but allows them to buy it at a discount through major auctions. Suck trillions more dinar off the streets…What a great prep going into a re-valuation. It will help them justify a higher value.This may be major for us.
This is my theory and I think it makes sense.
Comment: Sounds like bad news to me…like they won’t RV for weeks now.
MarkZ: If auctions are immediate - they could be ready in a day or two. I believe they will move forward quickly on this... Remember Sudani said just last week that they plan to revalue this year during his administration….I think the timing is great and they are setting the stage.

This is literally almost all they are talking about these days. YES, its important!!!!! 😊 Let’s follow its implementation then and see where it gets us. Can they complete it by eary 2025?)
Tues. 10 Sept. 2024: A Spanish speaking news channel (assumed from Mexico)
has announced the gold backed currency, revaluation of the dinar, fall of the $USD, that in July the US and Iraq had agreed to have all US troops out of Iraq by sometime in September and that wouldn’t happen until they were paid (by the revaluation) and how many are going to be extraordinary rich.
They have been waiting for this for so many years.
