The U.N. assessment in August will reveal more detail as to the effects the Israeli / Iranian conflict with Iran threatening all USA military bases in the middle east.

The current theory is that Iraq will publicly announce its new exchange rate on Monday, June 30th, marking a key step in the long-anticipated RV timeline.
Reports indicate that U.S. private wealth managers (not Redemption Center staff) are preparing for client exchanges, with appointments possibly starting Tuesday.
Basel III is set to activate Monday night, requiring all banks to be gold- and asset-backed. This aligns with Bruce’s statement that entities were already asset-backed by Thursday night, ahead of the global implementation on July 1st.
Some are still expecting a formal asset-backed currency announcement from President Trump, but Jerome Powell publicly confirmed the shift during a Senate hearing on June 25th. The question remains: is a Trump statement still needed, or have Powell’s remarks and details within the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) already covered it?
The June 21st parade seemed to symbolize the end of the U.S. Corporation, with Trump receiving a folded flag and reaffirming his oath as Commander in Chief—a sign the military could now be in charge. Then on June 27th, Trump declared during his presser, “I brought back the Constitution,” which many view as the official return of the Republic.
The Big Beautiful Bill is key. Over 16 hours were spent reading it in the Senate, including definitions like the scientific definition of a woman, and sections related to foreign currency exchanges and gold-backed assets—both of which align with Basel III, taking effect in the U.S. at midnight EST Monday.
Stay grounded. Stay alert. There is plenty of Public ACTION happening for us to move forward….it’s coming! Our DREAMZ are coming true!!
