“Finance Committee: Discussion of 2025 budget tables will begin next month” That is November.
Why is that important?
The rate. They are still settling out 2024 and 2023…now suddenly they are going to be ready for 2025 and its tables?
I believe this tells us we will soon have a rate in order for them to fix those tables.
There is some good stuff out of Iraq today. “Parliamentary conquest reveals an agreement to pass two controversial laws today” this is very important news.
This is the personal status law and the Return of real estate to its owners covered by some decisions of the dissolved revolutionary command council law...These are settlements for other things that we were told we would see right before they do the dinar change in value. For me this is huge...To me this shows us how close we are.

I have never been accused of being soft spoken...Taxes: ...There are rich people and there are poor people. The difference is that the poor pay taxes all their life and the rich pay little to no taxes.
The Tax Code (IRC) is written for both. You DO NOT have to pay out one third to one half your exchange funds in taxes.
You can use a Charitable Remainder Uni-Trust and pay only 10% in taxes and those taxes are deferred for 20 years if you wish.
Find an Asset Protection organization or attorney...It [The CRUT} is a two page document and gives you the legal right to pay ZERO capital gains taxes...
and you can buy and sell using the Trust...This is perfect for real estate but can be used for an unlimited number of purposes..
Next, you do not need an army or "Team" to help you handle your money. You need only find a reputable asset protection firm or attorney...Doing it this way eliminates wealth managers, lawyers, CPA's, investment councilors, etc. The asset professional will usually have an in-house CPA...What exactly are you doing anyway? You are eliminating all three wealth killers.
Those are Lawsuits, Taxes, and Estate Planning...You will...pay minimum taxes, and mitigate Taxes, Lawsuits, and Estate Planning. This...will insure that you get wealthy, stay wealthy, and pass your wealth on to your heirs without probate, estate taxes, death taxes, or capital gains taxes.
