 Weekend News with MarkZ

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

MZ: The News starts at the 45-minute mark as we spend time with the CBD Gurus first.

Member:  Good morning to all you fantastic people…Welcome to the weekend.

MZ: Expectations are high in the bond market for starting tomorrow. We will see if we actually real money moving or not.

MZ: I am hearing that some of the “flippers” started paying for some but have not been able to verify. At the same time I know some people who have sold bonds to some flippers and they have gone dead quiet. So perhaps under an NDA? 

MZ: I am hopeful that is it because it would tell us we are very close for the RV. We should stay calm and watch as it rolls out.

MZ: Very quiet out of Iraq. Very quiet for CMKX, Prosperity packages, farm claims ect….But there was very solid , encouraging news all week. Go back and listen to Nader and MilitiaMan and you will see what has been happening. There have been some fantastic articles this week.

MZ: IMO this was a great week for things we can see. Concrete things. But overnight it was very quiet

Member: Calm before the storm?.

Member: I always watch Saturday Nights. That old Bloomberg video that says some Saturday night when all the banks are closed – the rates will change and we will wake up to a new world on a Monday morning.

Member: Can you explain what a flipper is?

MZ: They are folks who know the groups that aggregated currencies and historic bonds. They know what the projected prices should be at the reset. They ask folks if they are tired of waiting and offer lower prices to those who just want to be done and sell now…..Then the flippers have the currency and bonds and will exchange at a higher price when everything goes. They make a profit.

Member: Just like flipping a house.

Member: Mark, I heard that US sanctions were lifted from Venezuela. Is that a true statement? If so, could we bring our Bolivar to the Rv Redemption center?

Member: I am bringing all currencies I own to the RC. Better safe than sorry.

Member: Bolivar is already on the Forex. If the sanctions are lifted, then you would be able to exchange it anywhere

Member:  Do you remember a month ago when Venezuela and Guyana were arguing . China and Brazil stepped in brought them to talk ongoing in Brazil. 2 brics countrys helping 2 new Brics countrys avoid war. Nice

MZ: “BRICS plus expansion is accelerating petrodollar collapse: Ultimately leading to a massive global dollar dump-Schectman”  This is from Kitco news.

Member: Thanks Mark and mods. Everyone have a wonderful weekend.

Member: Stay safe and warm….God bless us all.

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 22 JAN

  Mnt Goat  

 So, how long will us investors in the IQD have to wait before Iraq is allowed to liberate its own currency? 

Why do I say “now is the time”?  We know they are completely out of Chapter VII sanctions since December 2022...We know they want the Iraq funds (nearly USD 115+ billion) released from the NY banks and put in their custody...We know they have plans for yet more Sovereign Funds to invest their reserves. 

 We know they are making agreements now for “currency swaps” for trade...as Iraq will no longer be using any US dollars in Iraq as of January 1st 2024. We know that the IMF is now working on the final stages of pulling together agreements to build a new basket of six (6) currencies to re-peg the IQD.  More pressure from Iraqi economics advisors to the government to use a “basket” of currencies for the new dinar peg. This is the IMF plan of 2011 all along. 

 We know since January they have undertaken a massive “de-dollarization” program and told it should have taken 6 years but they decided to do it in 1 year (2023). 

 Why such a hurry? 

We know the value of the IQD right now does exceed even pre-1991 era but still at 1/6 of a penny for a rate? 

The value won’t go up, its already there  ... 

Why is it being suppressed?

 Iraq needs to see a rate reflecting the TRUE VALUE. 

What is holding it back? 

We know Iraq now pumps 2/3 more oil than in pre-1991 era. Iraq also has announced 132+ tons of GOLD reserves. We know they are pushing this year alone, more than any other year since 2005, for the passing of Oil and Gas law. 

 Why? 

We know for a FACT that it is the U.S. through the Treasury Dept. direction that will NOT give sign-off to allow the reinstatement. 

Why?

Finally, the CBI has told us many times already that January is the most opportune time to reinstate for accounting purposes, since it begins their new FISCAL year (for accounting purposes).  Imminent World Trade Organization full accession.  

Just be patient, the reinstatement is coming and I firmly believe from what we now know there is a very strong likelihood we NOT are going to be at the banks in early 2024 but there is still strong hope for early part of the new year.

 There is no guarantees and so no one really knows a date when the event will occur. Let’s just follow the FACTS and see where they lead us…okay? Iraq is full of surprises and so anything is possible.

Iraq is full of surprises and so anything is possible.

  ...in my conversation with my CBI contact on my Wednesday call...We...talked about...the monetary reform and where it stood. I was told it would take some time, maybe weeks or months even for the currency swaps to take the needed effect in leveling out the parallel black market rate for the dollar. But my contact seemed very optimistic that the plan now in place could move this rate quicker than expected even. But I was warned not to expect instant success as there is still a period of monitoring it for wide swings, in other words it needs to be stable...We can see that there has been more progress towards currency reform in the last 12 months than in the twenty years combined.

There is much prosperity and abundance coming our way this new year. Let’s all just be patient and stay calm. 

 Article:  "SUDANESE ADVISOR: EXCHANGE RATES WILL REACH 135 THOUSAND PER 100 DOLLARS
SOON"  If this really does happen we will be in great shape to see the one more program rate change we have been waiting for. But remember they will probably wait and monitor the rate to ensure it is first stable, How long we don’t know.  But this is fantastic news today.

I believe we will not get out of January without seeing the project to delete the zeros and my CBI contact ...gave me assurances that this could be the case. Keep our fingers crossed nothing else interferes in the process.

 I am told they fully intend to have this parallel market on target and under control within January...if they can accomplish this target, we know what their next move will be... We don’t need to speculate...We know as a FACT
