Member: Good Wednesday morning to you all….
Member: Some say today is the day. Although, they have said that at times for months.
Member: What have you heard Mark?
MZ: Put of Iraq- “The price of monetary policy and reactivation of securities” The CBI is letting us know growth rates are out stripping inflation. And they are reactivating securities in the country. This means we are watching the white paper reform ( Financial reforms) and the restructure of their monetary system so they can revalue the dinar and restore it to its status in the world and to lift all Iraqis up with increased purchasing power.
MZ: “KDP admits the difficulty of resolving the election of a new speaker of the Iraqi Parliament tomorrow” They may not get their speaker tomorrow. The Sunnis are fighting it. But they do expect to have a spealer sat in the next few days. Is this important? I have someone in the Finance Ministry who believes it is important. ..
MZ: “Customs announces a significant increase in revenues from the Trebil Port after linking it to the AYUSCUDA system” This big increase is because they have gotten rid of the ability of individuals to dip their fingers in the honeypot/cookie jar…..the cookies stopped disappearing when they put in the child safety lid…... Tarrifs and customs are coming in at record levels.
Member: Iraq, Iraq, Iraq I hope to never hear that word again after this passes. Is anyone else with me?
Member: Also the words Close, Imminent, Soon and Anytime
Member: Iraq is probably just as frustrated as we are.
Member: Iraq is probably waiting for the elections like us –so they know who they will be dealing with in the future.
Member: Can Iraq go very long with the new policy of not letting any more than one million dinar leave the country now per person?
MZ: No- not really …I don’t think they can very long now that they are shutting down the auctions …they have to bring in money from other countries until the dinar is more powerful.
Member: What about your bond holder? Is he liquid?
MZ: I am hearing “crickets” from the one bond holder that was supposed to have dollars by today. I am not too surprised…..either he is trying to figure out where it’s at…or he got it and went quiet. My suspicion is he has not been paid yet or does not have full access yet. .
Member: Bond folks are in the same position as we are. Waiting for the trigger
MZ: I totally agree
Member: Hello, my name is Bond….Paid Bond…..lol
MZ: Shaken or stirred?
Member: Any Redemption center news?
MZ: They are still waiting and still hopeful . My contacts who have been trained in exchanging foreign currencies (specifically the currencies we hold) also work in wealth management. They all know there will be a sudden injection of wealth. They are prepared and ready and just as frustrated and irritated as you and I are.
Member: Wolverine says money on the way!!
Meber: 6 days until the election…maybe after things settle down the RV trigger will be pulled.
Member: MarKZ I know you told us it would be crazy toward the end but damn!
Member: Here we are Still Standing after all they have done …That is victory… We are Champions …We are winners …Standing at the scrimmage line for our blessings WWG1WGA
Meber: We were CHOSEN to be here at this time...Have faith...Our day is coming...We will create our new beautiful earth together.
Member: Have a great day fellow RV’ers……I’m praying we are at the end of this journey!

Yes, we now see October fading away into November without an RV. Yes, as the leaves all fall off the trees we enter a new era, a new season. What will this season bring us?
But who the hell told you it should have RV’d in October every day and any day? Not me! Oh… these stupid intel gurus strike again and told you this and have been telling you this crap since the summer. Yes, the RV had to happen by the end of every month, But, it didn’t did it?
So what’s holding it up now and they tell you another stupid story bla bla bla and more bla bla….!!!! ☹
Why do you listen to them even? Folks, it was not even possible to RV. Get it? If you can’t see through their lies by now you too are stupid. Now they tell you the Project to Delete the Zeros is not important and does not have to occur even on the path to the reinstatement. So, what changed? I have to tell you that nothing has changed except their mental state of mind as someone is bullshitting them and coaxed them into lying to their audience. Thus they mindlessly pass it on to their listeners without any FACTS to back it up. Really? Yes, these are really stupid, stupid people many of you are listening to. Oh… but their contacts are so solid and good! Really? They also keep telling their audience that at the end of this ride “it will be confusing”. The only sense of confusion that I can see it themselves spreading their lies. Yes, I am so sick of their approach and it is all wrong. There is just too many FACTS and EVIDENCE to go by and you don’t have to make up intel. It is all there but to really understand you have to embrace reality and stop searching for bank memos, bank stories, rumors, speculation and other nonsense. Just stick to the FACTS as the facts will speak louder than any “secret” source. Folks, its all just made-up nonsense. Get it?
So, I won’t talk about these idiots anymore today as we have real news to discuss and why this new information is so important to us. Let’s get to work.
First, I want to shake up your short-term memory. Remember about the Cash Center that recently opened to receive the stashes and hordes of dinars. The first point is these were dinars NOT dollars. Dollars can be sold on the open street way beyond the “official” CBI rate and so why would anyone want this rate the banks for dollars? Next, I want to say that these centers show us some success of just the beginning stages of the process to delete the zeros. This is part of the process is to collect these stashes of notes. These are not only needed for liquidity in the banks but also to coincide with the shrinking of the monetary mass that is needed to raise the rate of the dinar, when they do pull the trigger on the higher “official” CBI rate in-country.
😊 To incentivize the citizens to open bank accounts, part of the first step in the process, we have a few articles today informing us about this process. The titles include:
“HYBRID MONETARY POLICY”.. AL-SUDANI’S ADVISOR REVEALS THE CENTRAL BANK’S NEW STEP”;
“EXPERT COMMENTS ON THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ’S DECISION TO REDUCE INTEREST: INCOMPREHENSIBLE”;
“THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENT TO ITS EMPLOYEES: WHOEVER DOES NOT HAVE A BIOMETRIC CODE WILL HAVE HIS SALARY STOPPED BY THE FEDERAL FINANCES”
“150,000 KURDISH EMPLOYEES RECEIVE THEIR SALARIES DIGITALLY VIA THE “HISABI” SYSTEM”
Let’s take a look at these articles. The very first thing I need to point out is that all four (4) of these articles are interconnected and exactly what we needed to see at this point in time. Actually, to be honest it is early in my account and for once they are early. They don’t realize yet you just don’t put out a policy and expect it to be followed. Instead, you have to enforce it and give the citizens incentives to do it.
We had another article from the four, telling us these salary restrictions were coming to Kurdistan and now we see it is already in place and the name of the electronic banking system they are using is named “HISABI”. So this is happening fast, within the same news period. They will need tens of millions of employees not just 150 thousand to sign up, as in the article today. First the CBI reduces the interest rates then they mandate government employees to open up a bank account in order to get their payroll “electronically deposited” into the account. If this is not completed by Nov 20th they will not be able to get paid. I quote from the article “Every employee or person receiving a salary in the Kurdistan Regional Government who does not have a biometric code until the date (11/20/2024) will have his salary stopped by the Ministry of Finance in the federal government, and he will bear responsibility for that.” In case you are wondering, the biometric code is the bank account number in which will be used by HISABI system to deposit their funds.
So, we wait to see the success of this effort in the Kurdistan region, but if you think about it, it will succeed as people will want their salaries. Remember this process is already in place in southern Iraq Baghdad and was successful. The implementation of many of these programs is always done lastly in Kurdistan as the Kurds are slow to act. This is why so many are now also bringing in their dinars to the banks. This is why they established the Cash Center to take on the excessive load and rush of customers. These are NOT exchange centers.
They are simply depositing their hoards of dinars in the bank and putting them into electronic form. Get it? They are staying in dinars, NOT U.S. dollars. This is Iraq, they use dinars NOT dollars. They just went through this huge de-dollarization process…remember? There is NOT going to any “big lines” or celebrations in Iraq when they revalue in country. The only thing that will happen is that they will go on with life and know they have more purchasing power, but only after the reinstatement happens. But who will have more purchasing power? Certainly inflation will go down for the average citizen but the power will come mainly from businesses who will transmit buying orders with the outside world in commerce. Reconstruction cost also will go down and their currency will be buy more from the imported materials.
The citizens have banks accounts now and so why not? They are catching up to the ret of the developed world. Also, you must remember too that the government along with the CBI is constantly now telling the citizens they are going to raise the value of the dinar to the “glory days” of the dinar.
They know it’s coming and they don’t want to eventually lose out in holding worthless three zero notes when they expire in Iraq in-country. I also want to add that the CBI is now also broadcasting the videos they produced by the committee, in which my CBI contact told me earlier this year, were being produced and ready for showing, but back then we were told – not yet. Now they are being shown to the public. Yes, it is time and so yet another clue things are close. Why in hell would they do this if not to educate the citizens of how the process will work?
Folks, remember way back decades ago that in the fall of 2004 the citizens underwent a similar process when they had to turn in their Saddam Hussien notes for the three zero notes. Now the reverse has to happen. They are somewhat already familiar with a process and how it will work. If you talk to almost any citizens now in Iraq, they will tell you that they expect this event to happen soon.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL SPENDING AND PRICE OF A BARREL OF OIL IN THE 2025 BUDGET?
The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, specified the expected total spending, the hypothetical deficit, and the price of a barrel in the 2025 budget.
Saleh said, “Next year’s budget 2025 will not deviate from the constants approved in the Federal General Budget Law (the three-year budget) submitted by the government and approved by the House of Representatives for the years 2023-2024-2025, especially in the principles and objectives consistent with the government program.”
He added, “Despite this, the 2025 budget must be hedged with a hypothetical deficit of 64 trillion dinars, which is a (precautionary) deficit that has been established by law; to avoid fluctuations in the general budget revenues for the coming year, especially oil revenues that are subject to fluctuations in the oil asset cycle and the conditions of energy markets in the world, as long as the total spending ceiling will touch perhaps 200 trillion dinars, depending on the financial and economic circumstances of the country.”
He explained that “the price of a barrel of oil in the three-year budget, to which the 2025 budget is subject, was set at $70 and an export capacity of 3.4 million barrels per day for the purposes of determining oil revenues in the general budget.”
(Just wanted to reiterate once again that the budget is based on a the prices of a barrel of oil and not the rate of the dinar. So, don’t let these stupid intel gurus tell you otherwise. They never held up announcing a budget because of the RV. It’s all just a pack of lies and here is yet more proof!)
