Article: "Al-Sudani calls on American companies to participate in the 'development renaissance' in Iraq"
Quote: "Implementation of 18 agreements and MOUs signed during al-Sudani's list to the US in 2024." Iraqi delegation met with US official under Trump back in 2020 and they also met mid-last year in 2024.
They're telling you right here they have 18 agreements and MOUs signed and in place ready to implement. That's why they will be meeting just a little later this year, March to April, to discuss the implementation of these items, not to draft them.
These meetings don't have anything to do with the rate changing or us waiting for it in March to April. This is getting buckling down getting to business after the rate has already changed.
Thank you MarkZ for all your time, and encouragement daily….. PDK

Member: Mark, Mods, Patriot's, Good Morning All.
Member: It appears we've made it thru yet another weekend without the worries of what to do with all that money. *whew* lol
Member: GM I feel like this is our life now just waiting day by day for this RV to hit.
Member: Any RV news over the weekend Mark?
MZ: I think things are moving along nicely.
MZ: Rumors over the weekend starts with a couple of my biggest bond contacts are saying they now expect theirs somewhere around February 10th. Some of these bigger ones could be “post RV though” There are different pots of money paying different things.
MZ: There are also rumors it could happen tonight. Remember they cloud things so we do not know the timing.
Member: Ask Iraq for the date. They seem to know how to manipulate the timeline.
Member: February 2 Groundhog Day!!!! Need to break this cycle!!!!!!!!
Member: If Trump doesn't address the economy soon then many will blame Trump if and when the markets fall
Member: but Trump signed an EO to get rid of CBDC …that was awesome
MZ: Wealth/redemption folks did not work over the weekend. They were hoping get called in but remember…..they were told to expect to work the next few weekends for awhile.
MZ: I am still waiting on a couple group check ins….Monday mornings are always tough for updates. But a number of groups were told at the end of last week that in 72 hours or so they would see full funding.
MZ: In Iraq: “Parliamentary Finance: Political consensuses forced the passage of the budget amendment within the committee” There is huge political pressure right now to finish the amendments and pass articles 12 and 14. But its finally coming out of committee and going to the full parliament. Should happen in the next couple of days.
MZ: “Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq: We provide the necessary support to International companies that wish to invest in Iraq-including American companies and banks” Banks and businesses are about to attend a really cool fair in Iraq. And many have already been back and forth already.
MZ: “The minister of commerce calls for the establishment of an exhibition “Made in America “ in Iraq and the presence of American companies in the sessions of the Baghdad exhibition” All the banks who told us they would never deal with this…… the dinar …well they are there. This creates a tremendous opportunity for American companies.
Member: BP is signing a full fledge contract with Iraq on February 1, meaning the RV must occur before that date IMO.
Member: do you think it will go this month Mark?
MZ: I think it’s more likely to go in the first part of February. I do not have a crystal ball…but have some great sources who are also being kept in the dark right now.
Member: if all the countries are going at once, then doing the final in each of those countries too !!
MZ: We know they are moving at a much quicker pace ….and I was told the US is pressuring Iraq to complete it. This is a first. America really needs this…..financially we are in a heck of a mess.
Member: We are now going into February! I wonder what’s the real hold up, anyone know?
Member: It's not even a full week yet; DJT is just getting started
Member: It’s only a few days till February, but Trump was in Vegas last weekend, very close to Reno
Member: The new Treasury Secretary has not been confirmed by congress yet……Maybe we need him at his job before the RV trigger gets pulled? Hopefully this happens this week.
MZ: I had not given that much thought but that makes sense for the Treasury….You could be onto something.
Member: Confirming a treasury security is important…his name is Scott Bessent
MZ: “ Trump administration tests the power to email every Federal employee all at once” Many got a second test email today. Making it more efficient to talk to them all at once. Very efficient and maybe easier when it comes time for the EBS?
Member: Really starting to see things happen now. And the MSM can’t hide it anymore. Long time coming and it feels incredible!
Member: Wednesday starts Chinese new year
Member: Chinese New Year starts on the 28th for 2 weeks.
Member: We don't know when it's going to happen but we are seeing many signs that it is very close. Stay focused
Member: I hope everyone has a wonderful Day! Stay positive!!
Mr. Cottrell Joins for a short time today. Plus other guests. Please listen to the replay for their information.
The economic adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, revealed Iraq’s gold reserves, which are estimated at 152 tons.
The useful summary.. In the important news, you will find it on the Al-Furat News channel on Telegram.To subscribe, click here
Saleh said {For the Furat News} that: “Gold reserves are undoubtedly an important part of Iraq’s foreign exchange reserves, as it contributes to strengthening financial stability and confidence in the national currency, and according to the announced data, gold reserves amounted to about 152 tons.” He added, “The approximate value of it in the country’s foreign investment portfolio is about $14 billion, which constitutes about 13% of the total diversification of that portfolio, which is distributed in standard proportions among other foreign currencies.” Waad Saleh, gold is “a safe haven for the balance of the aforementioned investment portfolio, especially when the exchange rates of some currencies or the volatility of interest on the investment of those currencies are exposed to uncalculated risks in the short term as a result of decline or volatility.”
He pointed out that “central banks often follow the standard guidelines, including our country in diversifying their investment portfolios in foreign currency, which adopt many standards, including the intensity of the commercial areas with which it deals in global trade and investment.” “Our country is monitoring this diversification with high accuracy and careful advisory precaution, Saleh said, and it is not necessarily entering into unconsidered races in the yellow metal markets,” Saleh said, noting that “gold often bears the costs of managing it, whether from securing and storage wages in international gold vaults and according to high-precision mechanisms.” He stressed that “its importance represents the possibility of issuing bonds when needed called gold bonds guaranteed in gold,” pointing to “the existence of donations currently in the world due to the change of the US administration and the rise in its prices.” According to the Sudanese adviser’s statement, “the state of uncertainty surrounding the new administration of the United States has led to high gold prices globally, as gold is a safe haven for investors in times of instability,” pointing out that “nevertheless, strengthening of gold reserves depends on the decisions of the monetary authority and its strategies in maintaining economic stability, and taking the necessary measures in a timely manner.”
MZ: Iraq right now is looking at a consumption tax instead of an income tax. To me that looks like Nesara. Looks like other countries also looking to scrap income taxes in favor of a consumption tax.
Member: No Income Tax in Iraq - that's GESARA
MZ: Finally a couple bond contacts have reached out to me ….saying they are “positioned “ for this week to be finished…funding is prepared...This coming week starts tomorrow…. Very positive to hear…. But there are still a couple expecting things the first week in Feb.
Member: So are we waiting until mid Feb now?
MZ: I don’t think so…..I believe we may be done by that time
Member: So what’s the hold up on the bonds?
MZ: I don’t think there is a hold up….I believe they did not feel comfortable moving the trillions of dollars until Trump took the oath of office last Monday. Now they have kicked in to moving all those funds and making sure everything is secure and will be going where it is supposed to. While they have tested the system greatly, this is the first time it will be used at full volume. Groups, group leaders and bankers tell me it all went off of “stuck” last Monday.
MZ: Also Groups are expecting funding within days .
MZ: Wealth management/redemption center folks are “on call” this weekend. But, they are being told to expect a couple of long weekends in the very near future. They were specifically told to expect to work next weekend and the next few weekends after that….and to enjoy this last weekend “on call “ because they are about to work a lot. .
