JUDY NOTE, 16 SEPT

 Judy Note: Pray For The Children

What we think we know as of Fri. 15 Sept. 2023:

• As of Fri. 15 Sept. all US Banks were working for the US Treasury: When you go into a bank like Wells Fargo to exchange, you are not doing business with Wells Fargo. You are doing business with the US Treasury. They are contracting with that bank to use the space but the people don’t work for the bank they are contracted by the US Treasury.
• On Thurs. 14 Sept. the Panama Canal shut down and forty percent (40%) of the Global Supply Chain came to a halt. Hal Turner BULLETIN: The Panama Canal Has Stopped! – American Media Group (amg-news.com)

Global Currency Reset:

• The US Treasury Assistant Secretary made a comment per Rod Steele that everything is and has been signed off and should be approximately 96 hours from her return from Baghdad, Iraq. She returned today Fri. 15 Sept. X 96 hours = Tues. 19 Sept.
• Fri. 15 Sept. TNT: Tony was informed by his bank contacts that they were facing a heavy workload and by Mon. 18 Sept. we should be exchanging.
• Fri. 15 Sept. MarkZ: Lots of expectations for Sunday 17 Sept. and Mon. 18 Sept. during meetings with Iraq and the US Treasury on HCL agreements where they will be addressing the exchange rate of the dinar. Iraq wanted a worldwide announcement to the general public of a rate change somewhere around the 20th or 21st. That does not mean we are waiting until then. Groups are positioned and ready. People are all in place. Agreements are done. All we are waiting on is the switch to be pulled.
• Thurs. 14 Sept. Bruce: Three excellent sources said Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) should get notified Fri, Sat or Monday 15, 16 or 18 Sept. We are at a any day, any hour basis. Release to Bond Sellers should happen Fri, Sat or Monday 15, 16 or 18 Sept. Tier4bto be notified after Bond Holders – or by next Tues. 19 Sept. Military personnel and Bond Holders have exchanged but do not yet have access to their funds. On Tues. 12 Sept. the US Treasury gave word to Redemption Centers that everything was signed off and ready to go.
• Mon. 11 Sept. Hernán Robert Hbravo: It is reported in Iraq that everything is ready and agreed with the United States Treasury for the Revaluation of the DINAR currency.
• All documentation was studied and agreed upon between the government of IRAQ and the US. The documentation was delivered on Mon. 11 Sept. 2023, to the United States Treasury for prompt signature.
• As of Fri. 15 Sept. Banks were no longer independent, but working for the US Treasury: When you go into a bank to exchange like Wells Fargo you are not doing business with Wells Fargo. You are doing business with the US Treasury. They are contracting with that bank to use the space but the people don’t work for the bank they are contracted by the US Treasury.
• Our inside source, a brave individual deep within military intelligence circles(identity classified for obvious reasons), has dropped a piece of information that might just shake the very foundations of the global economy: 97 of the top 100 central banks are currently under transformation to become fully operational under the QFS + RTGS system. The remaining 82 smaller central banks are gearing up for this transition. On October 1st all BANKS have to be working with the QFS, THAT’S WHY WE THINK IT HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30.
• Fri. 15 Sept. Rubix Q: I have a friend who is a personal Dinar dealer in the United States. He is telling me that his vendor just got all of his dinar confiscated and is no longer allowed to sell. They are tightening the noose in Iraq and they are stopping people from taking it overseas. The US Treasury has caused a wave that is causing vendors to immediately stop. This tells me that’s it’s a wrap…the initiation process begun. When the brokers are told to stop selling it let’s you know we are an inch away…you won’t be able to double dip once you make your appt. Second, what you have is what you have…it has been said that when we are close that brokers/dealers will be restricted from selling. As far as BTC, it’s going to zero. XRP is the mother of all digital gold backed assets.

Global Economic Crisis:

• Rep. Tom Emmer introduced a bill to ban the Federal Reserve from creating a Central Bank Digital Currency. A CBDC is nothing more than a CCP-style surveillance tool that can be weaponized to oppress the American way of life.
• As of Fri. 15 Sept. 97 of the top 100 Central Banks were under transformation to become fully operational under the QFS + RTGS system. The remaining 82 smaller Central Banks were gearing up for this transition.

Thurs. 14 Sept. Inside the Exclusive World of Redemption and Exchange Centers, Ben Fulford.

• If you have purchased currency from an authorized dealer in the US an email from powerhouses like Wells Fargo Bank or even Chase – both top tier 1 banks for Exchange + Redemption Centers – is on its way to your inbox.
• The US Treasury provides these email lists. No one can truly verify if they’re on this exclusive list. And thus, to ensure maximum reach, the Safelink website, the ultimate tool for exchange, will be spread like wildfire across major online platforms and chat forums.
• While estimates suggest there are 10 to 12 million individuals in the US holding foreign currency or securities, only a measly 3 to 4 million find their way to the Wells Fargo email list. The reason? Scores of people innocently bringing currencies home after vacations, dutiful military personnel from places like Iraq, charter flights operations, and many more reasons you wouldn’t suspect.
• Anyone longing for higher exchange rates via the Exchange or Redemption Center will be granted a unique personalized 800 number (not to be confused with the pedestrian ‘1800‘ numbers). This number, mind you, is one-time-use only.
• If anyone chooses to walk into a bank directly without this unique digital access, they’re effectively shooting themselves in the foot. The reason? Banks can only offer what’s known as the screen rate or the Forex rate, a measly sum compared to what one could obtain.
• Exchange rates in the US stand as fixed, unyielding monoliths – unless, of course, one possesses a particularly hefty amount.
• (Zim) Bonds? Now, they’re a different ballgame. The rates of exchange, the interest, the fees after working with banks – it’s all up for negotiation, pulling the strings behind closed doors.
• Your unique rendezvous at the Redemption or Exchange Center, however, comes with strings attached. No second helpings allowed! If you think you can dance twice at the same ball, think again. Should anyone attempt a sly double-dip, the repercussions will be swift and severe.
• A second appointment? Reserved for a different basket of currencies scheduled half a year later.
• The Redemption and Exchange Centers will be open for a brief window of 4 to 6 weeks.
• Private Bank teams, with their vast networks, swoop in, ensuring anyone with redemptions over $1 million is shepherded into trust setups, private banks, and an exclusive world of perks not available to the average Joe.
• Redemption Centers exist for the sole purpose of redeeming (Zim) bonds, and Exchange Centers designed for currency-only aficionados.
• The safety at these centers? Top-notch. I have a hunch the military might be lurking in the shadows, ensuring iron-clad security.

An Understanding Looms On The Horizon Between Iraq And Iran To Use Currencies Other Than The Dollar In Commercial Transactions, 15 SEPT

 An Understanding Looms On The Horizon Between Iraq And Iran To Use Currencies Other Than The Dollar In Commercial Transactions

September 14, 2023  Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: The financial advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that there is an understanding on the horizon with Iran to use a basket of foreign currencies other than the dollar to settle commercial transactions between Iraq and Iran.

Saleh said in statements followed by Al-Masala, that allowing an international means of payment other than the dollar and identifying trade flows in a transparent and highly governance manner with the Islamic Republic of Iran within the international trading system will undoubtedly contribute to the stability of the exchange market in Iraq, in addition to enhancing the stability of the external payments system in our country. It leads to high stability in trade and financial movements without negative monetary impacts on our national economy.

He added: Therefore, there is a high understanding on the horizon in using a basket of foreign currencies other than the dollar to settle commercial transactions with the neighboring country [Iran], without this constituting an international obstacle, and at the same time providing the desired monetary stability in our country, especially the foreign currency market.

He pointed out that it is clear that there is a correlation between trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran on the part of the Iraqi private sector and the need to have an international payment currency to settle trade exchange, at a time when there is a ban by the United States in the field of financial transfers that was imposed on Iran more than a decade ago. , and is subject to high degrees of stringency.

He continued: Such requirements led, over time, to dealing with commercial settlements in foreign currency, but from outside the official markets, especially in the demand for cash dollars on the local black market.

He concluded his speech by saying that it has become logical to find an alternative international monetary medium for trade settlements with the neighboring country instead of the United States currency. The alternative monetary medium is used in a transparent and clear manner before the international financial community and at the same time spares the local exchange market from the pressures of international restrictions, their complications and their effects on our country’s economy.

America threatens new punitive measures against banks in Iraq, 15 SEPT

 America threatens new punitive measures against banks in Iraq

A high-ranking official from the US Treasury Department has urged the Central Bank of Iraq to take action against the ongoing risks arising from the misuse of the US dollar by commercial banks in Iraq. The official warned that if the bank fails to address the issue, new punitive measures may be imposed on the country’s financial sector. The official cited concerns over fraudulent activities, money laundering, and Iran’s efforts to evade sanctions.

In July, the United States blocked 14 Iraqi banks from using dollars due to the illegal use of the currency.

The official informed Reuters that there are still Iraqi banks operating with risks that need to be addressed despite the campaign.

With more than $100 billion in reserves in the US, Iraq relies heavily on US good faith to prevent sanctions on its oil revenues and funds.

According to the official, his country implemented the measure in July after receiving clear indications of illegal financial activity. He elaborated that the Treasury Department is investigating alleged crimes such as money laundering, bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and fraud.

The Central Governor of Iraq has stated that the country is committed to implementing stricter regulations for the financial sector and preventing the smuggling of dollars. The Iraqi Central Bank did not respond to requests for comment on Thursday.

Iraq had an almost entirely state-controlled banking sector until 2003. Now, there are over 70 private banks.

Just under one-third of these banks are on the US blacklist. “

I am focusing on banks that still have access and where I see continued risks,” the official told Reuters in Baghdad.

He suggested that the central bank directly address the matter, which could eliminate the need for further measures in the United States.
