Member: Good Morning Mark, Mods and fellow RV’ers
Member: It is truly a beautiful time to be alive, and beautiful things just around the corner
Member: We are into a new beginnings….. will the RV be among them?
MZ: It’s still quiet on the bond and group side. I did get a check in from a Freedom Group (PP) saying one of their leaders have started updating. I have had other contacts from that Prosperity Package saying they were also asked to update their contact information. I found that very positive .
MZ: In Iraq there is a ginormous fight over the budget. “Parliamentary Finance: Parliamentary pressure on the government to send 2025 budget tables” There is also unusual international pressure to get it done. Especially from the US. We never seemed to be concerned about this the last 15 years….and now suddenly we are concerned that they pass a budget.
MZ: “ The region demands more dollars-and the center and the south rise up and refuse to pass the budget” We had seen articles like this in Kuwait just before they released their RV. The same back and forth in articles….and Kuwait said they were not going to increase the rate for 6 months the same exact day they released it….China and Germany did the same thing
MZ: I was told that there is so much pressure and Iraq has agreed to settle in the next 3 days….. also they have a team already in Baghdad from the Kurdish region with great hope to settle this debate on the budget tables and know this budget out.
Member: I am sure enjoying all the rumors that the Federal Reserve and IRS may be going away….and income taxes…..those would be such a huge help to all US citizens.
Member: Yes, he is (replacing IRS with ERS--External Revenue Service -not Internal)
Member: and our new Treasury secretary said in a post yesterday “I’m committed to eliminating income taxes, replacing them with a fair consumption tax, and adopting a gold-backed currency. We’ll erase debt, restore financial privacy, and unlock new technologies for a prosperous future.”
MZ: I saw that and I am ready for a fair consumption tax. …and no income tax….That would be a great thing.
Member: I wonder what are the odds are that these new tax laws take affect prior to April 15?
Member: I heard the Scott Bessent post was not on a verified account and the account has since been taken down….best to consider it a rumor for now.
Member: Any of the Old RVers Remember Nick Fleming he used to say before he passed away in 2023 back in the Fall 2022 that the RV would go in February. We just didn't know which one.
Member: On 4 March 2025 President Trump will give the State of the Union Address before Congress. It was 236 years ago on 4 March 1789 the first meeting of the US Congress under the new Constitution was held.
Member: Hope everyone has a great day today!
Member: May your hope and dreams of a better day come to pass.

Trump has declared a mandate to Iraq - Stop using my dollar. The only way you can use my dollar is to buy medical stuff, medicine, equipment.
If you want to travel abroad you can get some of my dollar or GOI in your functions as a government. That's it.
Nowhere else can you use the American dollar in your country. Citizens can't touch it. Businesses can't touch it. Iraqi Stock Exchange can't touch it. Nobody is to touch the dollar.
