Today, the representative of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Muhammad Karim, stated that the US administration is seeking pretexts to take control over Iraq, particularly regarding the dollar currency. According to Karim, the US is looking for ways to impose hegemony and control over Iraq by making decisions related to the dollar currency. This is a concerning development that must be monitored closely.
Karim stated that America seeks to maintain control over Iraq and create pretexts for hegemony, as seen with the dollar and oil revenue.
“American practices are really trying to control Iraq’s finances,” he remarked. “They’ve even failed to impose sanctions on certain Iraqi banks in the past without giving the government the authority to take action against them.”
He mentioned that there is an ongoing attempt by the US to exert control over Iraq’s exchange rate by leveraging Iraqi funds that are deposited in dollars for oil imports. According to him, the US is using the dollar as a means to dominate, control, and manipulate the exchange rate in Iraq despite the fact that these funds belong to Iraq.
Welcome everybody to the Big call tonight. It's Thursday, August 24th and you're listening to the big call. Welcome everybody, wherever you're tuned in from and we love you and we're glad you're here. We look forward to having a great call tonight. And I look forward to bringing you guys the latest best intel that we have to date.
All right, let's talk about Intel and let's see if we can find out where we are - what's going on and where we stand right now.
Well, we did hear from some of our bondholders today, a little later this afternoon. And it's looking like what they're getting from sources in Switzerland, that things are moving along where they should be getting notified tomorrow and have funds either tomorrow or Saturday.
So that's good - good for bondholders to get their access to funds. That's sort of something we've been keying off under tier four to see what happens with tier three. The last time we talked we had ourselves going before the bondholders went -
Now I'm thinking it might be a little more parallel - it might be similar in terms of when we all start.
The information that we are getting about tier four is that we should be notified Saturday, or this is another source that either Saturday or Monday at the very latest. Meaning we get the toll free numbers either Saturday or Monday At the very latest.
Now there was something that occurred tonight, six o'clock central time, which I don't know why we put in central because it was an East Coast thing in Atlanta for President Trump was arraigned and I heard even before the big call that that would not really amount to much.
And what I did here was that within 24 hours of that, let's call it so arraignment - Today we will be getting the RV started. And that would be tomorrow night at seven. So there's a possibility something could come out even tomorrow or tomorrow evening.
But we know certain people are telling me that we need the public to see the political movement, the political change that is imminent, to take place on mainstream media - for the Chinese to feel comfortable releasing everything - they're not comfortable with the current administration.
So will this February least once something is made mainstream, very possible, and it's very possible that happens by Saturday or by Monday - So this is really interesting time for us to witness this.
And I don't know what else to say other than we're either waiting for that to take place which is imminent. Or we’re not - We have sources that are saying that's not a factor.
It's not this political change does not have to take place for this to be released. So some say yes, some say no -- I will say that we need to see that take place - I believe that - I believe it is so close that it will happen by the weekend or by Monday at the very latest. Monday is the 28th and I think there's a lot that can happen in the next couple of days.
Even President Trump said on a Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson interview. He would be busy that night and the next day and then we would be busy for the next three days. So I don't know exactly how we're going to take that. But we'll take that and we'll look to see what that does for us and how that comes about.
Now - I've been looking into what is happening over in Lahaina on Maui - And you guys know I've mentioned that we want to incorporate that as part of rebuild America and try to get help to those people. We know the white hats are currently delivering water and food - from helicopters - And they have food and a number of tons of water that were hopefully gently dropped in the area for the citizens or residents.
It's a complicated situation. But I think if we get to the bottom of it, we're already planning on how to get supplies there by barge - To the island to stage building materials and so on in a couple different areas . And we're you know, we already have a provider of steel we're in touch with so there's quite a bit that is sort of pre planning right now
See how quickly we can assemble a team which we've got some people that are interested in helping with that - assembling a team to look into and just check out what needs to be done - What the situation is - doing some research and finding out where everything stands. So that's something I'm looking forward to being a part of and helping to execute as part of rebuild America.
I know the BRICS conference was to end today and I believe it did. We know they had seven I believe six additional countries that they absorb into the BRICS consortium - and the BRICS has put together primarily as an alternative to the Fiat US dollar and I know there are 20 or 30 some odd I believe, I don't even know what the number is. It's like 35 or 37 countries that are already part of the BRICS Consortium.
But we have the plan is for all of Africa, which is a lot of different nations to be part of the BRICS. And I think they're gonna end up being a very large currency block if you will. I do not expect a BRICS currency.
But we expect each of the countries that are admitted into the BRICS to have their own asset backed currency. A lot of them are gold backed already -
And I believe they need to have asset backed currencies. They need to mint and print. They need to mint coinage, new coinage and they need to print new currency that is asset backed - just like we're doing and what we already have, with the USN - United States Treasury note currency, the so called banknotes those have been printed for a few years now.
They are definitely in the redemption centers. And they're probably in most if not all tier one and tier two banks in the vaults maybe in the teller drawers I don't know, in every case, but you know, that's something that should be brought out as part of the NESARA - the fact that we have an asset backed currency again.
And the fact that the dollar if you think it's strong now and it was with nothing backing - Imagine having it backed by gold and other assets, and just how strong it's going to be as the world as a world dominant currency with other BRICS nations currencies as well.
So everything in Iraq yesterday we heard had a much higher rates in Iraq on dinar - I say, much higher - And that's really good news.
And we know that they even intend to offer those of us even who has zim - a higher dinar rate. Iraq wants us to have a high rate on the dinar - and it will be - and I'd love to tell you what I know about it, but just suffice to say that higher than we thought it would be, And that's a good news.
And then I think the dong is going to come in with a very, very, very high rate as well. compared to what certain people have said it was coming in at. We know it's much higher because we know what the bank screens are telling us.
But the good news is, this looks like it is imminent and it is coming in a matter of days. But one source said from Thursday all the way to Saturday. Now the source today gave me Saturday or Monday at the very latest - And then we'll see what happens is as a result of the arraignment -
I'm gonna say that's what happened. Today. That's why they were able to say 24 hours after six o'clock Central tonight the RV could start - So - you've got that.
Now. I appreciate what everyone has done to stay with the patient. It has really been good for our patients. It's been an example of long suffering. I know a lot of people have counted on this for a long time. And you know we all have Look forward to it and we look at it and then we can get back inside and just give a sigh of relief that we have it and that we're moving forward with our projects
So looking forward to it. Let's keep an eye out for emails.
We'll have it for future calls. If we do any more. We will be some podcast type calls. Not so many live calls. I don't think we'll do really any more live calls. But if we do some podcasts and you're gonna want to hear what we're doing, or what we're doing about Lahaina what we're doing about rebuild America, what we're doing about the veterans, some good ideas. so we're going to be putting all those together and I'll be speaking to you guys in the form of a podcast, getting the link in the email that you can listen to.
That's really everything I've got for tonight so far. So let's see where this takes us through the weekend. Today is Thursday, and we're looking for some action, possibly tomorrow evening. It's not Saturday, or the word is Monday at the very latest. So let's see how that comes about. Let's see what happens with that.. Thank you for listening all over the globe. We appreciate you.
Announced that Washington is ready to help Baghdad
Baghdad – NAS
The US ambassador in Baghdad, Alina Romansky, commented on the reason for her recent tour of Iraqi politicians, and announced that Washington is ready to help Baghdad in the water file with upstream countries, and pointed out that Iraq’s adoption of the legitimate banking system is sufficient to stabilize dollar exchange rates.
In an interview with her colleague Saif Ali, followed by “Nass” on Friday (August 18, 2023), Romaneski stated that “there are several reasons that cause the dollar to fluctuate against the dinar, including the existence of a parallel financial system, the presence of smugglers and money launderers, which leads to a rise in the price of the dollar.
“A return to the legitimate banking system can create stability for the exchange rate.”
“I think there is a misunderstanding about the 14 banks, there have been no sanctions on them, but these banks are not allowed to deal in dollars at the moment,” she said.
WASHINGTON IMPOSES ITS AUTHORITY ON IRAQI OIL REVENUES
Economist: Washington imposes its authority on Iraqi oil revenues
Information / Baghdad… Economic affairs researcher Muhammad Al-Saadi explained, the extent to which it is possible to obtain oil revenues from importing countries directly without placing these funds with the US Federal Bank.
Al-Saadi told Al-Maalouma that “China, India and other Asian countries import Iraqi oil in large quantities, but Iraq receives the revenues through the US Federal Bank, which makes Washington an authority over those revenues.”
He added, “The dollar, as an American currency prohibited in some countries, Iraq can benefit from such a procedure by selling oil in exchange for goods, goods and raw materials needed by the Iraqi industry, or introducing companies from those countries and engaging them in the field of construction, construction and project implementation.”
And he indicated that “the continuation of selling oil in exchange for obtaining dollars may not be a good idea, as it is possible to obtain projects, goods and goods instead of oil revenues in dollar currency.”
He pointed out that “Iraq has large reserves of hard currency with the US Federal Bank.”
(So, in reality is Iraq totally out of Chapter VII since the US still holds all oil sales revenues and has to release this money allow Iraq to pay its bills. Will the US let Iraq sell oil anyway they want in the future? The political push is on in Iraq to change the war-torn process resulting from the sanctions. Iraq needs its independence.)
Earnings season has slowed down now, but it doesn't mean that market-moving stock reports are over until October. A handful of popular companies are delivering fresh financials next week. They can move the market.
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Five Below(NASDAQ: FIVE), and Salesforce(NYSE: CRM) are some of the names that I'll be watching out for. Let's go over why you may want to keep on eye on their quarterly updates, too.
CrowdStrike
Nothing matters more for a business than protecting itself from hackers and other baddies in cyberspace, and CrowdStrike has emerged as a leading provider of cloud-based security solutions for enterprises. The stock has risen 40% so far this year, and it's hoping to keep the gains coming when it reports on Wednesday afternoon.
CrowdStrike had a "beat and raise" performance last time. It has routinely clocked in ahead of Wall Street targets for adjusted earnings, but the company also broke out of the red for the quarter on a reported basis. It was the market darling's first positive non-adjusted earnings as a public company.
Analysts see revenue climbing 35% in next week's report, the midpoint of the guidance that CrowdStrike itself provided three months ago. Those same Wall Street pros are forecasting adjusted earnings to climb at an even heartier 56% clip. With its history of beating analyst expectations and the stock's big gains, it's fair to say that it will need more than just a garden variety beat after the market close on Wednesday.
CrowdStrike is popular for a reason. It's a rising star gaining market share in a growing niche. There are few things more appetizing than a company carving out a thicker slice of an expanding pie. It also has a cash-rich balance sheet, providing a safety net if the economy goes south, as well as giving it the opportunity to make a strategic acquisition if its buoyant stock price isn't acceptable currency. CrowdStrike is definitely a name to watch in the coming week.
Five Below
Shifting gears to the shopping space, retailers make up many of the companies reporting this time of year given fiscal years concluding at the end of January. Five Below also issues its latest financials on Wednesday afternoon, discussing its fiscal second quarter for the three months that ended in July.
True to its name, Five Below is a deep discounter where most of the items it sells are priced at the $5 level or below. The Philadelphia-based retailer prides itself on being more than just a discounter, taking a "cheap chic" approach that has appealed to younger audiences. It's not just dollar-store junk or cheap consumable essentials that draw customers to the 1,367-store chain.
A few thrift stores that have already reported this earnings season have held up well on the top line, but flopped on the bottom line. Deal-seeking shoppers are spending more on food and other consumables, items that historically carry much leaner margins than mainstream products. Thankfully, Five Below's offerings skew toward higher-margin evergreen merchandise. Analysts see sales and earnings growth in the low teens, which also happens to be the age of a strong target audience.
Salesforce
Also jumping in on the Aug. 30 post-close earnings party, Salesforce will offer its fiscal second-quarter numbers on Wednesday afternoon. With its $200 billion market cap, Salesforce is one of the largest companies reporting earnings results next week.
Growth has slowed for the cloud computing pioneer that many organizations rely on for their customer relationship management (CRM) needs. The 18% top-line gain it posted in fiscal 2023 is its weakest increase in at least the last 20 years. Revenue continues to decelerate sharply early in fiscal 2024, with Salesforce prioritizing bottom-line gains and efficiency over top-line growth.
