THE RATES THAT ARE BEING SHOWN ON FOREX ARE ONLY SEEN BY TRADERS WHO WORK WITH IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. SEEING IT ON BLOOMBERG...
WAS A BIG COUP. WHEN IT SHOWS ON THE FRONT SCREENS OF FOREX WE WILL HAVE LIFTOFF.

Member: Good Monday Mark, Mods and Rv’ers
Member: It’s the last day of June. Tomorrow is the first day of the third quarter and the day Basel 3 banking laws are supposed to start worldwide.
Member: Is today our day????
MZ: that’s a heck of a question. I will tell you what I am hearing. I did get a bond update this morning which is unusual for a Monday morning.
MZ: There are some folks wi th some “historical assets” that are very set with appointments and timing. . Including really big transfers. I am waiting for another update today. These appointments will happen this week. I do not know times for security…..it’s big money. One of these deals is a trillion dollars that is expected to close this week.
MZ: buckle up folks. When it goes…..we will also go pretty soon……. I am upbeat but trying to stay calm.
Member: It is interesting to me that Trump mentioned a deadline of July 9th and the Iraqi Parliament is supposed to go back into session on July 9th
Member: My bank sent me an email last Friday stating that as of 07-14-2025 all financial institutions will adopt ISO 20022.
Member: There is a big BRICS meeting July 6-7
Member: Mark, has your bankers talked about the USN notes?
Member: New Message from credit union, "coming soon'--view all your accounts in one login, streamlined, secure, personalized digital accounts to handle all your banking needs.
Member: Bank story. Neighbor laid off along with others ...Bank said moving to Financial assistance instead of banking service
Member: Is the belief that the RV happens after an economic crash because it’s the final blow to the cabal bankers or does the RV happen just at any moment?
Member: Wish we knew
Member: Mark! Now that the oil is supposedly flowing in the middle east for the Kurdistan region, did they not have to approve the rate prior to the flow?
MZ: “Iraq is witnessing security, stability and economic progress today” these are some of the sound bites we were told to look for- just before they changed their value.
MZ: ” The Budget is behind the walls of the government and awaiting release. Parliament is awaiting” They are now saying it is complete and Sudani is to release it.
MZ: I have told you my theory that Sudani has been holding up the budget waiting for the rate change. To me this makes the most sense.
Member: Dear Sudani please make that soon
Member: Iraq goes digital tomorrow, hopefully new rate tomorrow
Member: (From Dinar Guru) Walkingstick [Iraqi Bank friend Aki update] AKI: Three meetings. The last meeting lasted two hours. My boss tells me, 'I need you back at the bank [In Dearborn Michigan] this Monday because we are waiting on the new exchange rate.' I have to go back because we're waiting for the new rate. WALKINGSTICK: That's the only thing they're waiting for. They already got all the banking software in place, ATM machines, the bank structures, all the bank regulations are set...
MZ: I am hearing similar things from my contacts…I am just trying to stay calm right now.
MZ: Some IRS news. Their deferred resignation day is today. This is where employees can take advantage of “early retirement” some are reporting that up to 50% of collection staff are leaving and taking that early resignation. So a mass exodus is expected at the IRS today.
Member: I live in a small town…closest big town is 3 hours away…..wondering how far I will have to go to exchange?
MZ: I was told 90% of the population of the US would have redeeming banks/redemption centers within 50 miles
Member: IMO its worth a long drive…..my car is gassed up and ready to go.
Member: when the rate changes-will it be on the CBI or forex first?
MZ: If they do it like they did in Kuwait-neither. Kuwait quietly went- but did not publicly release rates for 10 days. I do not think they can do that in today’s internet world. My guess is it will show on the CBI site just moments before its on forex. This is just a guess.
Member: Im hoping we get our big day on July 4th…..the fireworks would be epic to celebrate our RV!!!
Member: Thanks all Mods for being here for all of us
Member: Have a great day. Everyone stay safe and cool.
Member: JUST SO YOU KNOW> > >THERE IS NO PODCAST TONIGHT> > SO SWEET DREAMS TO YOU!!!

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.
This is hardly the "PEACE" needed for a stable and safe outcome...The RV is coming but not this week, next week or even this year.
