Here is what was told to me by my CBI contact when I asked these questions yesterday on my weekly call to Iraq:
“As of April 17, 2021 • Basel III rules move physical gold from being considered a Tier-3 asset to being considered Tier-1, which allows physical gold in bullion form to be counted at 100% value for reserve purposes.
All forms of gold, including physical, are required to be at least 85-percent funded with Tier 1 capital in accordance with the Net Stability Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) introduced in Basel 3”.
Remember that Tier 1 capital is not just Gold.
So there is not definitive ration for only Gold to total Tier 1 assets.
I was also told: “that the 113 billion in reserves, the CBI keeps bragging about, is all in US dollars today in the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A in NYC and does not include the billions of Gold reserves, which is additional.
Even though Ali Alaq makes reference to backing the dinar with US dollars he knows this is not a safe way to back the dinar in the long run and this will change to a mixture of a foreign currency basket of 6 developed countries.”
In 2011 the plan for the dinar was outlined and included eventually going to a basket of 5 currencies and not just solely the US dollar.
They told me there is now 6 currencies in the basket.
What does all this mean to us as investors?
It means that the CBI is still on track with the 2011 plan and is moving ahead with it.
By reserving gold, they are moving to meet the Basel 3 rules.
So once again the news, if you were paying attention to an article of an interview with Ali Alaq, he told us the future vision of the Iraqi dinar.
It is backing the dinar with GOLD!
No longer just the dollar.
Yes, we can definitely see the trend already to get the dollar out of Iraq.
It is a process.
So, first Alaq says that today they back the dinar with the billions of reserves, which is the dollar.
Then he talks about the future where it will be backed by GOLD not the Dollar.
He says Iraq has 132 tons of gold.
So how much is that in equivalent dollars?
Let’s see if we can figure it out.
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
1 pound = 16 ounces
1 ounce of GOLD is valued at $1,896 (market price) example only
$30,336 per pound
$60,672,000 per ton
Iraq has about $8,008,704,000 billion worth of GOLD
What else is in the news?
Looks to me like Iraq is working with the WTO now since it has joined it and has been working with all along.
I quote from today’s article- “the center will provide to Iraq, with a diagnosis of challenges and work to support Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization by providing technical and legal advice and supporting trade policies to align with international standards.”
More proof that Iraq is part of the WTO and is in full accession.
I quote from one of the articles today that just about sums up all of today’s articles on the subject matter:
“Iraq has made strides implementing U.S. dollar supply restrictions targeting Iran but faces an uphill battle with a banking system unaccustomed to strict oversight and persistent currency smugglers, central bank governor Ali al-Alaq said.”
“It is really a battle, because the people benefiting from this situation and those harmed (by the new measures) will try in various ways to continue their illegal activities,” Allaq said in an interview with Reuters.”
We wait for more news on the progression of the currency reforms being instituted by the CBI and the coming second “official” rate change to around 1000.
But they are not there yet and I do not expect this will take too long now that the budget is release.

Member: Good morning everyone. Love Peace and Joy to all.
Good morning Mark, Mr. Cottrell, and all the fam!
Member: I cannot believe we are at another weekend already…wow
MZ: No huge runaway RV news guys. “Sudanese and Mandalowi agree to speed up implementation of budget items” They are talking about the economic reforms , the projects ect……they need to stop in-fighting and get this thing implemented.
MZ: In this implementation they need to control their rates. Exchange rates, parallel markets ect……so to me, this was a very encouraging article…they need to go sooner rather than later to get these reforms done. …with a concerted effort from the various blocs to make it happen.
MZ: “Bitcoin, Etherium flash crash triggers $800 million in liquidations” somebody triggered a run or a flash by dumping….most likely a wallet held by the US government……at least that’s what most crypto experts believe…..that the US government tried to flash crash cryptos yesterday….that’s what the indicators based on the wallets are……just .don’t panic.
MZ: Now this is an absolutely huge piece…pay attention. “ China’s Evergrande files for bankruptcy in New York” This is chapter 15- they are trying to get protections from liabilities. Also filing for bankruptcy protection was another big Chinese company yesterday.
MZ: This is enormous and lets us know how troubled the Chinese economy is. If China implodes…Europe implodes. European banks have huge holdings in China. Once that happens….because the US has huge holdings in Europe…..then the US will crash. There is a domino effect…..So who crashes first???
Member: looks like the market meltdown is here
Member: The old system has to crash to bring in the new QFS……come on RV
Member: I always thought right after the markets close of Friday nights was a good time to pull the trigger. Then we exchange over the weekend when the normies are not paying attention….just a thought …..
Member: Good thought. And remember the BRICS summit starts next Tuesday with over 40-60 countries clamoring to join them. Still hoping they announce a new international gold backed currency next week….. Events for the RV may be waiting for that??
Member: I listen to higher source everyday and according to the intel August 21 seems to be good for us
MZ: We will have MilitiaMan on Mondays podcast if we have not already crossed the finish line. We will get his take on where we are at based on fundamentals.

Member of Al-Fateh: Parliament is on the verge of heated debates regarding the oil and gas law
8-17-2023
Member of Al-Fateh - Parliament is on the verge of heated debates regarding the oil and gas lawInformation / Baghdad..
A member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Ali Al-Zubaidi, stressed, on Thursday, the need for the oil and gas law to be well prepared before it is presented in parliament, in order to avoid political tensions that may occur and impede the legislation of the law under the dome of the House of Representatives.
Al-Zubaidi told Al-Maalouma, “Parliament may be on the verge of heated discussions regarding the oil and gas law, especially since there are some objections that often occur when trying to introduce the law.”
He added, “The aforementioned law has been postponed for a long time as a result of the escalation of political differences around it, which necessitates preparing the law correctly so that it is fair to all and makes the center the main engine for this law by distributing wealth to everyone without prejudice to any province, whether in the region or outside it.”
And he indicated that “some oil fields outside the borders of the region have been controlled during the period of the terrorist ISIS, as tanks move from them to be sold for the benefit of the region and the family of Massoud Barzani in particular.”
Al-Zubaidi pointed out, “This matter requires a solution to this problem through the oil and gas law, so that the distribution of wealth to everyone is normal.”

The Minister of Oil holds a meeting to discuss the draft oil and gas law
17/08/2023
The Minister of Oil holds a meeting to discuss the draft oil and gas lawToday, Thursday, the Ministry of Oil organized a meeting of the working group tasked with preparing the draft oil and gas law.
The meeting was chaired by the Ministry’s advisor for administrative, legal and oversight affairs, Hamdan Awijel, and the meeting included a number of officials in the oil companies and departments of the Ministry’s headquarters.
And the Ministry of Oil stated in a statement, NRT Arabia received a copy of it, that “the meeting aims to discuss the preparation of a draft oil and gas law, and to work on crystallizing a professional national vision that achieves the goals of optimal investment of oil wealth to serve the public interest.”
And the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani, had directed in early August to form a ministerial committee that would supervise the technical dialogues between the Federal Ministry of Oil and the Ministry of Natural Resources in the region, as well as inviting the governors of the oil-producing provinces of Basra, Maysan, Kirkuk and Dhi Qar. And the general managers of government oil companies for the ongoing technical dialogues regarding the draft oil and gas law, provided that these dialogues are followed by the completion of the political dialogue to agree to present the draft law.
Al-Mandalawi and Al-Sudani agree to expedite the implementation of the budget provisions
Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, the First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani, have mutually agreed to accelerate the implementation of the tripartite budget items, with specific focus on service and strategic projects, as well as the procedures for their execution and monitoring.
Today, on Friday, Mandalawi’s media office issued a statement stating that this information was discussed during their meeting.
According to the statement, both parties emphasized the need for ongoing coordination between the legislative and executive branches. The goal is to speed up the creation of strong laws that benefit citizens and meet their needs. They also emphasized the importance of laws that promote economic and investment development, revive the industry, and create suitable job opportunities for young people.
Hanan Munther Nassif, Director General of the Iraqi Facts Department at the Ministry of Justice, recently announced the release of Instructions No. (1) for the year 2023. These instructions aim to simplify the implementation of the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for fiscal years (2023-2024-2025), as stated in No. (13) for the year 2023. The announcement was published in the Al-Waqi newspaper at the beginning of August.
The financial budget for the next three years (insert number_1) was voted on by the Iraqi parliament on June 12. The budget has a value of 198.9 trillion Iraqi dinars ($153 billion) each year.
Debido a que hay un registro que aprendimos ayer, creemos nuestra propia lÃnea de tiempo, de modo que el jueves o el viernes, los BH deben recibir NDA nuevos, los obtienen y tienen que devolverlos digitalmente y hacer que sus PM los firmen de regreso a la sede WF y esas devoluciones por los Vendedores de Bonos tienen que regresar el viernes por la noche. Recuerde que esto es T3 y reciben sus correos electrónicos el sábado del bono PM, para darles acceso a los fondos el lunes o el martes.
Sucederán muchas cosas la próxima semana y durante el fin de semana, asà que el fin de semana primero, para ir al 22, 23 24, esa es la cumbre BRICS y cada paÃs, como paÃs soberano, tiene su propia moneda de oro y esto para la membresÃa tiene que estar respaldado por activos. . Y eso ha estado sucediendo y el número de paÃses está aumentando del 85 al 88% de los paÃses. Entonces, para los paÃses originales, mira cuántos más se han agregado. Asà que eso está configurado y les dije el martes que parece ser un cronograma que necesitamos para hacer todo lo que estamos haciendo antes de eso. Asà que pasamos y hacemos esto para el sábado y escuchamos que el presidente Trump recibirá invitados de varios paÃses: Rusia, China, TurquÃa, Indonesia e Irak vienen con una delegación y mucha seguridad y se reunirán durante el fin de semana y eso es un gran problema. .
Because there's a record that we learned yesterday, we create our own timeline, so on Thursday or Friday, BHs should get new NDAs, they get them, and they have to send them back digitally and have their PMs sign them back to the WF headquarters and those returns by the Bond Sellers have to come back on Friday night. Remember this is Q3 and they receive your emails on Saturday from the PM bonus, to give you access to the funds on Monday or Tuesday.
There's going to be a lot going on next week and over the weekend, so weekend first, to go to the 22, 23, 24, that's the BRICS summit and each country as a sovereign country has its own gold coin and this for membership it has to be backed by assets. . And that has been happening and the number of countries is increasing from 85 to 88% of the countries. So for the original countries, look at how many more have been added. So that's set up and I told you on Tuesday that it seems to be a schedule that we need to do everything that we're doing before then. So we go through and do this for Saturday and we hear that President Trump is hosting guests from various countries: Russia, China, Turkey, Indonesia and Iraq are coming with a delegation and a lot of security and they're meeting over the weekend and that's a big problem. .
But suffice to say that this will all happen before Monday which is a big day for the world and I think President Trump will make 3-5 announcements and I think these are major announcements about one that will be NESARA sometime on Monday and Next up on our new asset-backed currency, the USN or USTN. And also the Fiat that we have now, which is going and has practically gone internationally, but only for a few countries. So it will be used in the US for another three months so if you have tons of Fiat you might want to spend it or trade it in for the new notes and we hear from the banks those new notes are coming out next week .
Banks already have them and will use them when directed, so those two announcements on Monday. Three other possible ones are political, but I don't know what they are about. Now how will this all turn out? It seems to me that something as important as NESARA and Gesara should come out at the same time and so should our new currency. Come out and we'll all know about that Monday and then the political stuff. How, I think they'd have to use something MSM-wide to cover it, and MSM haven't kept up with reporting the truth. And remember we have the EBS/EAS and the new EWS, so it's possible for that to happen with the EWS.
Bruce went to take a call, I think.
Sorry, I got a pertinent call about political ads. I wouldn't be surprised if they used one of those older systems to spread this news and if MSM doesn't get this accurately I'm sure the military could get hold of them. And I think we could have early disclosure after these announcements soon after and I'm excited because after those announcements, generally speaking, when President Trump announces something, it's already happened. Those announcements could trigger our emails and possibly Monday, but more likely Tuesday, and set our appointment for Tuesday night or Wednesday, so Q4 we're on next Tuesday, Wednesday, and on the 22nd a lot of things will start and somewhat sensitive, so I can't bring but it will happen a lot on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.
I know we have a very good situation with the rates and the Zim and they have a fixed rate on the Dinar and a planned rate on the Dong that we may have and the rest will just be the front screen rate.
What is Iraq going to do? They are going to announce their international rate on Sunday from here with their PM and also the HCL could be done on Sunday or Wednesday. Bruce just stopped talking again and there's no sound. Well, you're back and you need to make a change to the system. The other thing intelligence-wise is this is a very big week for us and big stock changes on Tuesday or Wednesday and we've heard we're going to be on a new system, the QFS and all that's coming up. . that I have been looking for will start on Tuesday and I think because the BRICS will be on and there could be a preliminary meeting and I think a lot will come out of these announcements. And now Bruce has gone to talk about Sue and her shows.
Again, I think this is our intelligence segment for tonight and it looks like it's going to be a REALLY EXCITING WEEK FOR US NEXT WEEK. I'm sure Bruce will thank Sue, Bob, GCK, Pastor Scott, Jeannie and Larry, as well as today's faithful listeners around the world. And always, without fail, pray the call: pray with Bruce and also until this Heavenly Blessing is finally received in our lives and in the world. Pray with sincere intention. The world needs it badly. Even Bruce is again thanking everyone around the world for listening tonight so this could be the last regular call, Bruce says this looks solid for next week.

Hamid and Director General of the Department of Economic Relations.

This is a great challenge to be the first to adopt reform in legislation, and we are ready to provide technical support and advice to expedite the completion of many accession files.”
The statement concluded, “Views were exchanged on the possibilities of support that the center will provide to Iraq, with a diagnosis of challenges and work to support Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization by providing technical and legal advice and supporting trade policies to align with international standards.”
America and its never-ending theatrical chapters in Iraq.

America and its never-ending theatrical chapters in Iraq.Ibrahim Mahjoub
It is no secret to anyone today that Iraq, after the US occupation in 2003, has become an unstable country dominated by chaos and instability as a result of the state’s inability to impose the rule of law on everyone, and the official names and titles of many people who have wide financial influence and strong authority have become unconstitutional to rule the country….
From time to time, the US State Department appears to us through the US Embassy in Baghdad or the official spokesperson for the White House with a new theatrical chapter showing us that the White House is very concerned about what is happening in Iraq, as if the Iraqi issue concerns them more than the internal affairs in the United States of America…
The White House is accustomed to skits, especially after the new world order, whose decision was unique to America alone, and the scales differed on the other side of the world after the dissolution of the former Soviet Union, and American arrogance became clear and public with its strong desire to control all the wealth of the countries of the world, either through force and weapons or through The way of thought and the use of imposing a fait accompli of politics on the governments of peaceful countries or by spreading ideas and values that are contrary to the heavenly laws, as well as what it is doing today and publicly in its blatant interference with the prices of buying and selling oil as if it is the heavenly guardian of those oil-producing countries….
Today we hear from the talk of the street that there is a new intervention by the United States through the deployment of its military forces in many locations inside and outside the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, as well as the deployment of many of these forces on the borders adjacent to some of Iraq’s neighboring countries. No. The official Iraqi position and the official media deny this, but the recent statements of the ambassador The American forces are deploying new forces in the American bases present on the ground in Iraq, and it was found that they did not leave Iraqi territory except through false news in the media loyal to the White House.
The logical analysis of such false statements aims to sow unrest within the Iraqi street and destabilize the security situation, especially after the existing and clear stability in the Iraqi street in all Iraqi provinces and cities, which had the obvious effect of restoring national cohesion and bringing Iraq back to the Arab ranks after many Arab brothers restored Their brotherly and diplomatic relations with Iraq, and this news is certainly not in the interest of the United States and the countries loyal to it.. Likewise, the countries that have come to view the Iraqi state as a weak, helpless and paralyzed state from all sides and not ready to defend themselves and claim their rights…
On the other hand, the Iraqi people have become accustomed to hearing such farces and theatrical episodes from time to time, as well as the news that spreads media propaganda that there is a change in the political reality in Iraq, and its purpose is to demand a renewal of allegiance to the ruling political system in Iraq and to renew its dependence on the capitalist system led by the United States of America…
Successive governments in America have become accustomed to creating chaos in Iraq by publishing fabricated news, and after a few days or weeks, we notice the deployment of some of its military forces in some Iraqi cities, and its goal has always been to put the ruling political classes in a very embarrassing position in front of the Iraqi people, who have lost their credibility with their central government, as well as with dealings With the so-called lame American democracy, when will this people wake up to themselves, and when will American diplomacy stop continuing lies, propaganda, and its foreign interventions in the Iraqi issue, just as it began by fighting and changing the previous regime under the pretext of Iraq’s possession of chemical and biological weapons, which have proven to the whole world that they do not exist at all, and that they are nothing but a joke made by the CIA? The US at the time, which is still making things like this, even with the existence of the new Iraqi political system, for which the Iraqi people are certainly paying the price alone…….
