Member: Good Day my friends, it's a great day in the neighborhood!

Member: Every morning we wonder “Is this the day?”  

Member: Hey Mark.. instead of taco's today, can we just RV???

Member: Mark, what is truly holding this up? If Iraq is ready to go, and this are being said all ready to go in US, and Chinese Elders and Russia pushing for this, why won't it go?

MZ: Well Iraq is certainly putting the US between a rock and a hard place right now. 

Member:  the cabal seems to be holding it up I think…They are not going down without a fight

MZ: Fairly quiet on the bond side…but in Iraq “Sudani receives an official invitation from Sisi to participate on a summit on Gaza”  He is a leader of Israel and he wants Iraq there as a calming “voice of reason” in the region. This is Iraq ascending to the world stage and becoming a key, important player. This shows their stability as a nation and leadership in their government. 

MZ: One of the key things we needed for the rv of their currency is stability of their nation. We are seeing this now plus respect from other Arab nations. 

MZ:Z I think this is an important piece….”Iraq raises interest rates to 7.5% and the economic council is considering raising that rate”  This is not the borrowing rate….this is the savings rate. They are paying 7.5 percent to get you to put your money in the bank. This does a couple things….it shores up their economy , stabilizes the consumer (not the government but the people) …So in Iraq they are putting the citizen ahead of the government. 

MZ: It also does something else very important. It streamlines any rate changes. With the money in the banks…they are not as worried about the money changers on the street….This makes it easier to do a re-valuation. 

MZ: Nader had a video …In a nutshell he is talking about how we see the US dollar rate slipping and the dinar increasing…..It may even be higher in the Erbil region then it is in the southern regions right now which is very interesting…So the Iraqi dinar is strengthening and the US dollar is weakening which is what we want to happen. 

MZ: In world news: “ BRICS: US and Europe may soon need local currencies to buy oil”  Does anyone know how  BIG this is??!!!   What has made the US dollare the biggest in the world? Buying oil through the petrodollar….which may soon have to convert itself to ruble, yuan or Arab currencies in order to purchase fuels we cannot make here for ourselves. This is the great collapse happening before our eyes. This is absolutely huge. 

Member: Mark- what is your opinion of the Iranian Rial right now? Do you still think it will go to $3+?

MZ: Yes. Some of the initial stuff I saw on it was showing it might be at $2.80-$2.90….but, if you look at the values Iraq wants….and what is going on in the region…it would not surprise me if Iran goes at over $3. Their value is priced based on oil and gas just like Iraq. 

Member:  Saw a ad this morning from Chase. They are advertising themselves being Wealth Managers....

Member:  Hi Mark. An alternative to tell people your rich is you got an email from an Africa nation about an inheritance and you submit your mailing address, they mail you a check and the rest was history lol

MZ: There you go…..Yes…tell them those funds you invested with the Nigerian Prince were finally released to your friends who had ridiculed you. 

Member:  RV is like blowing out a Trick Birthday Candle ….

Member: Ready to leave “Groundhog Day “  behind…..Come on RV 

Member:  They said it would be crazy and dark before we see the light and prosperity..think we're there

Member:  Mark, many thanks as always for bringing all the latest updates and news.

Al-Kadhimi Denies The Intention To Print A New Currency And Accuses The US Federal Reserve Of The Dollar Crisis, 17 OCT

 Al-Kadhimi Denies The Intention To Print A New Currency And Accuses The US Federal Reserve Of The Dollar Crisis

Politics   10/17/2023 09:48  Number of readings: 153   Baghdad - Iraq today:  The Parliamentary Finance Committee denied the government's intention to print a new local currency, while revealing the influence exerted by the US Federal Bank on the continuation of the dollar crisis.

Committee member Moeen Al-Kazemi said in a press statement, “Talk about the federal government intending to print a new local process has no truth at all, and the Iraqi dinar has a cover and bonds of approximately 150 billion dollars.”

Al-Kadhimi added, “Addressing the discrepancy in the dollar exchange rate does not happen by printing a new currency, but rather through thoughtful steps that should be implemented by all concerned parties.”

He pointed out, "The Central Bank covers the needs of merchants at the official price of 132 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars, and the reason for the disparity is the black market." He stated, "The influences exercised by the US Federal Bank to maintain this crisis for political purposes in Iraq." LINK

An Economic Advisor Talks About A "Stumbling Block" In The Way Of Iraq's Entry Into The BRICS Group, 17 OCT

 An Economic Advisor Talks About A "Stumbling Block" In The Way Of Iraq's Entry Into The BRICS Group

Money  and business  Economy News – Baghdad  Economic advisor Duraid Al-Anazi said that Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani’s request regarding Iraq joining the BRICS group is “strange,” because the group does not extend an invitation to anyone, but rather accepts the request.

Al-Enezi added, in a televised interview followed by Al-Iqtisad News, that “Al-Sudanese is on the condition of sending an invitation to Iraq to join the group,” considering that in this way “a stumbling block was placed in front of Iraq’s entry into BRICS.”

He pointed out that "entry into the group (is) by submitting an application like the rest of the Arab countries and the world."

He continued, "BRICS is economically prepared to replace the dollar, but the bank established by BRICS still operates in dollars."

It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani said last Wednesday that Iraq is ready to join the BRICS group, if it receives an invitation from the founding countries.

Subsequently, Al Sudani’s Media Office stated that during the call, the ongoing field developments in Palestinian territories were discussed, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing efforts and working collaboratively to support sustainable stability in the region, as well as efforts to enhance the bilateral partnership between Iraq and the US, per the Strategic Framework Agreement between the two countries.

Both sides, as per the Iraqi government statement, emphasized the need to contain the conflict and work towards preventing the expansion of hostilities that target civilians, posing a threat to regional and international peace and stability.

Al Sudani reiterated Iraq's steadfast and principled position regarding the situation in Gaza, stressing the importance of opening humanitarian corridors to deliver essential aid to the people of the region who are suffering from an oppressive war and blockade.

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT & BREITLING, 17 OCT

 Mountain Goat

Article quote:
“We hope that the Central Bank will remain steadfast and independent, stand against pressure and rumors, and continue to implement international standards and prudent measures that will improve and stabilize Iraq’s economy and exchange rate.”

Al-Najjar also pointed out…the presence of major corruption within a group of banks and banking companies, which led to smuggle dollars.  …there are elements that do not want the currency reform to be completed since the goose with the golden eggs will end.  I assure you it will end and end soon! This corruption will not continue…I know much more of what is going on behind the scenes that I am not telling you and can’t tell you.  I know this reinstatement process has to continue to the end and is going to move quickly…

  If you don't believe the Iraqi dinar [note count] is artificially inflated then you don't need to be in this investment because you'll never understand it.  

All kinds of evidence from back in the day when they had less oil, less customers and the value was  $2.75, $2.25...range.  Now they have more customers and they're pumping out more oil and their currency is at a 1/10 of a penny?  

You have to understand that.  It  [the Iraqi dinar note count] is artificially inflated and it's controlled by its money supply - how much dinar is out there.
