Vietnam to host Biden visit and elevate US links amid rising China assertiveness in South-East Asia | Brisbane Times (9/2/23)
The United States and Vietnam are poised to significantly enhance their economic and technological ties, bringing the former wartime foes closer at a time of increased Chinese assertiveness in South-East Asia.
The deal, expected to be announced when US President Joe Biden makes a state visit to Vietnam next weekend, is the latest step by his administration to deepen relations in Asia.
For Hanoi, the closer relationship with Washington serves as a counterweight to Beijing’s influence.
The establishment of a “comprehensive strategic partnership” will give the United States a diplomatic status that Vietnam has so far reserved for only a handful of other countries: China, Russia, India and South Korea. The deal was confirmed by a senior Biden administration official and two people in Hanoi familiar with the matter.
Tightening the American relationship shows Hanoi is willing to risk angering Beijing but sees the move toward Washington as necessary given how aggressively China is flexing its military muscle in the region, analysts said.
“If you have the United States on the same pedestal as China, that is saying a lot to Beijing, but also to the rest of the region and the world,” said Derek Grossman, a senior defence analyst at Rand Corporation and a former US intelligence officer.
“That’s saying the US-Vietnam relationship has come a long way since 1995”, when the two countries normalised relations.
The agreement, proposed by the Biden administration in recent months, flows from a US strategy to build economic and security partnerships in the Indo-Pacific that can serve as a bulwark against Chinese economic and military coercion.
For Vietnam, it “serves both symbolic and substantive purposes”, said Le Hong Hiep, a senior fellow at the Singapore-based ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute.
The agreement is expected to lead to greater economic activity between the two countries, as the United States seeks to diversify its manufacturing supply chains away from China, and as Vietnam aspires to develop advanced technologies. American semiconductor firms have expressed “a willingness to support them in that ambition”, said a senior Biden administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the agreement has not yet been announced.
The United States is now the top destination for exports from Vietnam, which has made a dramatic economic transformation over the past two decades.
VinFast, the country’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer, is now selling its sleek SUVs in California and recently held an initial public offering of its stock on Nasdaq.
American companies have likewise shown a willingness to do business: Apple and Google suppliers have invested heavily in new factories in Vietnam, and a major announcement is expected from Boeing, which said earlier this year that it intends to expand its footprint in the country.

...If they lift 3-zeros that's still not enough because that would be at a 1 to 1. They need this thing to float...IMO I think the Iraqi dinar will at least come out at 1 to 1 because that's what they say. Then I believe deep IMO they are going to float this currency.
That's when it's going to get tough on you. You're going to be so tempted to go to the bank and exchange everything you've got at 1 to 1. Wouldn't you like to exchange at 2 to 1? 3 to 1?...I believe 1 to 1 is their goal but the hard part is for you to decide if you want to exchange at a higher exchange rate... [Post 2 of 2]
Question: "What do you think the rate should be?" You have to understand this is a Middle Eastern currency. Do you think it should have the value it has now? Of course not...Saudi Arabia what's your exchange rate to the dollar? $3 plus. UAE what's your exchange rate to the dollar ? $3 plus. Saudi Arabia...what's your exchange rate to the American dollar? $3 plus. Do you get my point? [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]JUDY NOTE, 4 SEPT

Very encouraging news: “Today I’m getting my brakes done and noticed a Wells Fargo Financial Advisor building across the street. So, yup I went over there. I asked about their services and a wealth manager took me into a booth as the other rooms and offices were full. I explained I have foreign currencies and which kind. I asked what they provide. I was given a quick dissertation and told to make an appt as soon as I have the money. He knew about the coming currency revaluation. He said it is imminent and recommended I set up a team of their provisional wealth managers. Lol. He said the Zim bonds are considered fractional currency due to the high amount and will pay out in the billions. His words. We shall see. The Dong, Dinar, Bolivars and Zim agro cheques will all be worth larger values than people understand. I am definitely glad I went in. They know. They know we know. They are ready.”

RV Highlights on Telegram Sat. 2 Sept: very important Redemption instructions:
Step 1 – We must wait for the SafeLink website. This website can be passed along to anyone. There is no harm, there is no fault if it is shared and seen by those who are not invested in global currencies.
Step 2 – When you receive that notification, you will go to the SafeLink website. It will ask you a series of questions based on public knowledge/information in the public domain about you, where it will confirm your identity. It may ask you for an address that you have been associated in the past… or certain people who are part of your family, area code, zip code, or the vehicle you drove, etc. with general multiple choice answers.
Step 3: You’ll be given an 800 number to a call center that works for the US Treasury. You’ll call this & provid the zip code of wherever you want to go to your appointment. Many of the redemption centers are in the US predominantly. On the call, you will be asked what currency/bonds you have and you will only tell them the names of the currency/ bonds you are holding. *They won’t ask how much*. Don’t reveal how much either. If you have Zim bonds / notes, you will need to go to redemption center. If you have any of the other currencies you can be helped at any top tier bank. Once you give them your information, they will give you a number to make your appointment at a facility. and as I understand that, that number is only for you. And you may have to sign a draft NDA, just so you don’t tell other people about it.
(Note: The SafeLink website/800 numbers/instructions will be sent via email to all TETELESTAI Package subscribers. It will also be posted on the main blog for non-subscribers. ~ Dinar Chronicles)
Biometrics authentication and identification:
- THIS is the BIG reason you must visit the Redemption Center. 30% (or more) of the people you see are not who they say they are.
- Biometrics allows a person to be identified and authenticated based on recognizable, verifiable, unique, and specific data.
- Biometric authentication compares data for the person’s characteristics to that person’s biometric “template” to determine resemblance.
- The reference model is first stored. The data stored is then compared to the person’s biometric data to be authenticated. In this mode, the question is: “Are you, indeed, Mr or Mrs X?”
- Biometric identification consists of determining the identity of a person. The aim is to capture an item of biometric data from this person. It can be a photo of their face, a record of their voice, or an image of their fingerprint.
- This data is then compared to the biometric data of several other persons kept in a database. In this mode, the question is simple: “Who are you?”

5 Differences Between The Center And The Region Will Afflict The New Draft Oil Law.. What Are They?, 3 SEPT
Economy |Today Baghdad today – Baghdad Today, Sunday (September 3, 2023), economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed 5 differences between the center and the region that may plague the new draft oil law.
Al-Marsoumi said, in a clarification received by “Baghdad Today”, that “there are several differences between the center and the region that may plague the new draft oil law.”
He added, “The first difference is represented by Article 5 of the new draft oil and gas law, which stipulates that the Federal Council shall be established under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister or whomever he authorizes, and includes in its membership each of the Federal Minister of Oil, the Federal Minister of Finance, the Federal Minister of Planning, the Governor of the Central Bank, the Minister of Natural Resources in the region, and the governors of Three oil-producing provinces that are not organized into a region and three experts.
He explained, “Decisions are taken by majority, while the region believes that the Federal Council for Oil and Gas should include in its membership both the federal government (ministers of oil, finance and planning) and the regional government (ministers of natural resources, finance and planning) and governors of oil-producing governorates that are not organized in a region. The presidency is in The council is rotating and decisions are taken unanimously.
Al-Marsoumi continued: “As for t he second difference, it concerns (Article 8 First), which stipulates that the Federal Ministry of Oil shall manage the oil and gas-producing fields throughout Iraq in coordination with the region and the producing provinces. As for the vision of the region, it is summarized as follows: The federal government manages the oil and gas extracted from the fields.
The current (which was extracted, developed, and commercially produced before the constitution expired in 2005) with the regional government and the producing governorates that are not organized in a region. commercial production after the expiry of the constitution).
And he added, “While the third disagreement is about Article 11 of the new draft oil law, as it states that the Federal Council is the one that gives approval to oil licensing contracts, while the region sees that it is the competent authority on exploration, development and production contracts or any other contracts with the contractor that The choice falls on him and does not require the approval of the Federal Council.
He pointed out that “the fourth difference is in Article 16 of the draft law, which stipulates that the ministry is the supreme authority responsible for the obligations of the contractors, while the region believes that the competent authority in the region is responsible for the obligations of the contractors in the contracting areas within the region,
and the fifth difference is in the article 24 of the draft law that the main pipelines are owned by the federal government, while the region says that the federal government, the regional government, and the producing provinces establish and own pipelines to transport oil and gas.
He concluded by saying that “the sixth difference is that the new draft oil law did not include any article indicating the marketing of oil and the party responsible for it, but as is currently in force and confirmed by the Federal Court, the Ministry of Oil represented by SOMO is the only party responsible for marketing all Iraqi oil regardless of Its production site, while the region sees that the Federal Council sets marketing and sales policies, and the sale process is carried out by marketing companies belonging to the regional government or producing governorates that are not organized in a region.
