Member: Good evening Mark, mods and everyone

Member: What have you heard today Mark?

MZ: No updates from the banking side. From the bond side I had 1 of 3 check in……the update that I got was simply “money next week” with a thumbs up .

MZ: I don’t know what that means….or any details. But I will take that as positive.

Member: What are the chances of the RV being a float rather than a shotgun start?

MZ: I think slim to none but will not completely rule it out.

Member: Sudani said before his term ends they would bring the dinar back to its former Glory

MZ: His term ends in November. I think he will make this happen. But I do not believe we will be waiting that long.

Member: Barzani met with U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Bradley Smith in Washington on Thursday to discuss financial reforms and digital modernization efforts by the Kurdistan Regional Government!

MZ: “Iraq seals major oil deal with Chinese company”  International. We have been talking about all the deals they have signed with many countries.

MZ: “Iraq signs a contract with Russia’s Gazprom to raise oil and gas production rates in Badra field” Maximizing output. More output means more dollars.

Member: MARK Z. if Iraq is indeed doing international business, I wonder what exchange rate are they using?

MZ: ”90% of Iraq’s money supply is held outside of the banks” This is according to the Prime ministers advisor. This is massive . They do not want to let go of their currency. Why are they hoarding dinar? I think they know why they are hoarding.

MZ: I loved seeing this one from zerohedge: “Gold and the great American monetary resets from 1792 to today”  This is a great history lesson how every time we went to fiat….we had to reset.

MZ: I do have one small bank story this evening. “Mark, in April our small credit union in Louisiana shut down all its branches and all online access for software upgrades. We were warned for a month in case we needed to withdraw cash during their downtime. The day that the bank was reopened we went to the main branch to withdraw some cash. There was no one there…not a car in the parking lot. We drove to the drive-through and all the kiosks were gone. Just one big, brand new fancy ITM . Using my bank debit card- I inserted it to initiate the withdrawal. The screen noted the card description was in USD and processed the withdrawal as usual. I have never seen an ATM describe what currency my card was linked to. “

MZ: Some of the biggest hotel chains in the world are also setting up to take dinar, dong, rupiah and others. Why do you think this is?

Member: If you could guess Mark, what do you think is holding this up?

Member: Charlie Ward put out a clip that said the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a gateway to the RV. I pray he’s right.

MZ: I agree that this bill could be the gateway to Nesara.

Member: Big Beautiful bill doesn’t go to senate until July…hope we don’t need to wait for that ?

Member: As each day passes prolonging this, I find myself looking harder for my sanity.

Member: I don’t think this is being held up at all. I think we are just focusing on one of the many pieces in play. All is going according to perfection. It IS and has been moving very fast now. Imo

Member: Remember this is a 3 day weekend

Member: Take time this weekend to remember those that gave all for the Constitution

Member: Whaddya think…long weekend = RV ???

Member” It could be a great memorial day weekend

Member: Have a Blessed Evening Mark, & Mods. y’all Awesome!!

[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

 FIREFLY:'My Account' [card] is going to help to retrieve the 3-zero notes.  

They've been talking about it a lot. 

  The 3-zero notes are a big issue.  It would not be an issue if it was staying at 1310. 

 FRANK:  ...That's a good way of putting it.  You wouldn't be collecting 3-zero notes if you were staying at 1310.

 FIREFLY:The IMF is back and they're in the news today. 

 They're saying we are in need of urgent economic reforms.  They said we also need the funds in order to make all these reforms.
