"RV UPDATE" BY NADER FROM MID EAST, 11 OCT

 Nader From The Mid East

  You always come back to my words, to my sentence, [Guru] Piimpy just came back my sentence when I said only, 'only the US can RV Iraq.'  It's only the U.S. 

  I've been telling you for year...the RV is in the hands of U.S.  If U.S. tomorrow give green light to Iraq, Iraq will do whatever they wants.  Iraq will be the richest country in the world with all the oil they got.  

They got more oil than Saudis...Venezuela  ...Russia, more than anybody else.  They'll be rich as hell.  You see it.

When the government of Iraq requested a billion dollars from United States demanding their money to pay their bills and everything, Untied States refuse.  That's bullying.  I'm talking about the government of United States..

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member:  Good evening everyone! I hope you all had a beautiful day!

MZ: Not much news at all out there. This will be a short one.

MZ: It continues to be quiet on the bond side….eerily quiet. From some group leaders in different groups….they say things are still moving but have slowed down a little this week as they deal with a few things. If it’s the mideast upheaval…I don’t believe it will delay it long. The world needs it……

MZ: They are telling me during this interlude to get prepared…maybe work on my projects….look at real estate….know what you want to do with your dollars…..I was  told to take advantage of maybe the last moments of calm. This is great advice. 

MZ: I know most of us are ready…Have been prepared and ready for a long time….but those that are new to this may still be in the panic mode. 

MZ: Expectations remain high and everyone remains all geared up for it. 

Member: Mark Frank26 said Iraq has already RVd. What is the truth?

Member:  So –wish we knew for real who is holding this up -Iraq or the US? It’s hard to know what is really true…

Member: Mark won’t address me directly, so could someone ask him about Zim and bolivar rates, if Mr c has been paid,, and how do we know redemption centers are safe? Thanks…a concerned community member

MZ: I do not know what the Bolivar rates will be….when I ask banking sources-I am just told I will be pleased…I don’t think they know yet. On Zim I am still told about $30-$50 million per 100T note. 

MZ: How do we know if redemption centers will be safe?….lets use our logic. Redemption Centers are redeeming or participating banks that have the trained staff for this. It’s not like you are going down allies to exchange.  The locations will be safe. 

Member:  when scheduling RV appointments, do you think they'll be adequately staffed with agents to handle the amount of sudden incoming calls or will we be on hold forever like most call centers?

Member: I would think after all this time they will be ready with plenty of agents for us….if we have to wait awhile……so be it…..We have been waiting for many –many years….what’s a couple more minutes. 

Member: I was told face to face an hour ago, that this is 2nd week of training for the exchange coming up. She was told they call me the "currency man". He told me they need to update my file for my correct ph#, address & best time frame in the AM hour....They put up 3 new "Private Client Offices" on each door ,,,new..(.Chase bank is getting ready)

Member: So we will get exchange info by EMAIL or safe link website address or 1800 #s correct???

Member: That’s what we have been told. 

Member:  It’s hard to know how to prepare because we really don’t know what to expect…

Member:  With the Banks in Iraq and the million people March Friday it's perfect cover for us to GO

Member: If not sooner…..

Member: Im hoping this is the week I get to tell family and friends who think I’m crazy…that this is really real.

Member:  I’m too tired to explain to ppl what’s going on .. I find myself laughing deliriously when one of my friends wants to debate. I just walk away. I’m tired

Zimbabwe Introduces New Digital Currency, 11 OCT

Zimbabwe Introduces New Digital Currency - allAfrica.com (10/10/23)

Zimbabwe launched a new gold-backed digital currency in an effort to halt re-dollarization, which the administration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa worries could destroy the country's already .

  The digital tokens, also known as Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), which are primarily measured in milligrams, can be used for transactions by both private individuals and businesses, according to the nation's C. In addition to being priced in U.S. dollars and local currency, they can be purchased via banks in ZiG, while bank customers can make purchases with ZiG accounts through POS (point-of-sale) systems or online payments.

 Zimbabwe introduced  in July 2022 to be used in peer-to-peer and peer-to-business transactions, as well as serve as a store of value as the local currency continued to depreciate against major currencies.

 Physical gold coin owners can swap or convert their coins into digital tokens that are backed by gold through the banking system.

 After a decade of dollarization that followed record-breaking hyperinflation under former leader Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe reinstated its own currency in 2019. The Zimbabwean dollar, however, rapidly  against foreign currencies. This week it was trading at a rate of ZWL$5,252 to $1, and on the black market, one dollar can now be bought for ZWL$10,000.

To defend the  at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government instituted a multi-currency system. Today, authorities estimate that US dollars account for 80% of economic transactions.

Zimbabwe's top export product is gold. The nation produced 35.2 metric tonnes last year and in 2023, according to the administration, it aims to produce 40 metric tonnes in an effort to boost mining sector income and revive the flagging economy. The majority of the the country's gold, according to watchdogs, is sold through . A documentary by Al Jazeera  how members of the southern African country's political elite smuggled the gold to refineries in Dubai.

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe denied having any connections to the smugglers after  that the smugglers used the Central Bank to launder money through its gold buying activities.

Soaring inflation is piling pressure on President Emmerson Mnangagwa in a country that still remembers the economic chaos under Mugabe's almost four decades of rule. Hyperinflation forced the country to abandon the Zimbabwe dollar in 2009, and it opted instead to use foreign currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar.
