Iraq's economic plans are ambitious, investing in the development road project, natural gas, petrochemicals, tourism and agriculture...
Foreign investments are key to increasing the value of the Iraqi dinar.
Iraq is not just rising economically but diplomatically too. On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a solid 7 for good news...

Member: Good Morning and Welcome home Mark……you were missed
Member: hoping you have some wonderful RV news for us today. We are coming up on a 3 day weekend…..is it the one we are waiting for?
Member: Eid al Adha coming on June 6 here. 4 day holiday
Member: do you still think some people have signed NDA’s?
MZ: I know some people who have NDA’s, but the overwhelming majority do not have them yet.
Member: my friend has been on NDA since end of January. this month makes 4 months. sold her house and went to west coast. off social media too.
MZ: She is very smart.
MZ: I am expecting a bond update/call from one of my contacts today between 2:00-3:00 est today.
MZ: No update from redemption center staff yet. But, I have many contacts to get through today.
Member: I wonder what ever happened to all the bondholders that were given money to fly to their destinations to handle their bonds.We don't hear anything about that anymore
Member: Reuters posted 3/25 that they were Modernizing their Payment system...sounds like QFS
Member: I wish we knew for sure that the QFS is even real????
Member: Majeed said Iraq passed. But, What is Iraq liberation act passed by Congress???!!?????????
Member: Do you expect Trump to sign EO13303 today to extend it?
Member: I thought the Prez already renewed that EO back on May 9th???
Mark z, I heard that the Vietnamese dong has revalued. is that a true statement?
MZ: I don’t know who started that rumor….but, imo it has not gone yet.
Member: Nader posted today saying people hoarding dinar causing cash flow problems
MZ: They are hoarding it for a couple of reasons. Lack of trust in the banking system and expectation of a higher value. Currency requires a flow.
MZ: “Kurdish Region sends the Federal Treasurys share of non-oil profits” They sent this in cash. Still working on electronic payment system. They are making great progress.
MZ: “Iraq and France discuss boosting economic ties” Just another example how the world is embracing Iraq. Everyone wants to get their foot in the door before the bus takes off to prosperity.
Member: I wonder -will we will know the "when" ahead of time? Or will it come like a thief?
MZ: It will come like a thief in the night…imo. I think we will get close watching the signs that it is time to prepare…..but no one knows exactly when.
Member: So is Iraq in charge of flipping the switch or is it Trump?
Member: I heard we are waiting on audits for the Fed Reserve, US Treasury and Ft. Knox.
Member: will we see the RV this year?
MZ: I still think we will see the RV this year. We do not know the exact timing. But we always know its an inevitability. Historically we always transition from fiat back to asset backed.
Member: Trump is supposed to make big announcement on May 26 Memorial Day. Celebration to continue until July 4th 2026, the 250th birthday celebration!
Member: Phil G said crash and revaluation would start over weekend thru the week and starting on 26th???? Well Monday is the 26th????????
Member: I was told will not hit tier 4b till July 4th.Hope its wrong.
Member: I keep telling myself God is in charge of flipping this switch
Member: Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating today

EXCERPTS FROM MARKZ
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?

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?
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!!
