Member: GM Mark mods and patriots! Happy Friday to you all

Member: Will this go by the end of May? 

MZ: I think so…but again….no one has nailed the timing yet. 

MZ: On bonds….they had expected things to go this week. I got one update this morning that said it had been an amazing week and they should get their full funding by Tuesday morning. But things went great. They also said there had been some slow delays dealing with Iraq. But now things are looking really good. 

Member:  Hi Mark, if Trump gets an agreement with Iran, including the end of sanctions, will this bring Iran into the RV

Member: Potentially. But do I think it could be in the first basket….no….not unless they delay the heck out of the first basket. Logistics could take time. 

Member: What currencies will be in the first basket? 

MZ: The currencies we expect the biggest changes in are Iraq, Vietnam, and Indonisia. I am told Venezuela and Zimbabwe will be handled differently then currencies because of “special situations”  I count Zimbabwe more like a “Prosperity Program” .

Member: Venezuela says every citizen in the Country gets a pay raise May 1st ....I could care less about bonds or Iraq come on Venezuela...since the Sanctions have been removed

MZ: In Iraq: “ Kurdish dissident calls for release of detained journalists for exposing corruption of Barzani family”  This could explain some of the drama we are seeing in Iraq?

MZ: “US Department of Justice files a complaint for confiscation of Mansour Barzani’s  mansion in California”  that was purchased renovated using proceeds from a fraudulent scheme that targeted the US Dept. of Defense. In other words some of the money going to Iraq was filtered through there. I think this is big. 

MZ: To me it looks like they are doing whatever they can to get this RV off “stuck” 

Member: Sounds like Iraq and Somolia are exchanging notes.  

Member: Question is how much will the CBI drag their feet once the government is stable…

MZ: “ What does he choose? Al-Sudani faces Washington’s demands to cut the salaries of the Hastid and target the factions”  These are Iranian factions attacking American factions and Iraqi people. He needs to choose…. Iraq or Iran? 

MZ: “Is Trump threatening the government of Baghdad by closing Iraq’s only gate for foreign currency?” In other words they are talking about the cash that goes there from oil sales. I believe if the US stops this…they could collapse within two or three weeks. I think they are forcing them to move forward. 

MZ: “The first deputy chairs a extensive meeting to follow up on the outcomes of the oil export session through the Cihan port and stresses the need for oil wealth to be a Federal Resource” Even though there is Iraq drama, Barzani drama and militia drama….they are still working on HCL . They are pounding out all the difference in “revenue sharing” . try to ignore the smoke and pay attention to the progress. 

MZ: Think about all these pieces in Iraq and also what the bond folks said.  To me its obvious there is a push to get this across the finish line. 

MZ: And there is a constitutional requirement to have the vote to place the candidate for Prime Minister. They are saying that on Friday …..which is today ,they will pick that person. 

Member: I keep hearing we need to pass Clarity act before RV , so as to make world banking go smoothly. Congress keeps kicking the can on looking at it. 

Member: I wonder- how much the US Treasury owns of IQD?


Member: I have had my two weeks notice ready for years….Hope I get to use it soon 

Member: Have a wonderful weekend everyone……Stay positive.

 Article:   “WASHINGTON HAS HALTED DOLLAR SHIPMENTS TO IRAQ UNTIL A NEW IRAQI GOVERNMENT IS FORMED”  we learn one of the measures the US is using to threaten Iraq to disarm the Iranian backed militia is to cut off shipments of dollars to Iraq...These current U.S. sanctions appear to be about the sanctioning of the actual airborne flights of paper dollars into Iraq... Will it actually help Iraq more than hurt it in curbing the parallel market since the paper dollars will dry up. 

Maybe this is something that should have been done a long time ago? 

It will bring up the rate of the dinar.

Frank26 

 They have officially started the project of the lifting of the three zeros...from the exchange rate to add value to the currency.  Here's the problem.  They say that all the time...But this is the first time it's being done with Donald Trump.

THE BILL FOR THE NEW REGIME: WILL WASHINGTON TURN DOLLAR SHIPMENTS INTO A “VETO” THAT SHAPES THE FEATURES OF THE NEXT STAGE?

 THE BILL FOR THE NEW REGIME: WILL WASHINGTON TURN DOLLAR SHIPMENTS INTO A “VETO” THAT SHAPES THE FEATURES OF THE NEXT STAGE?

Iraq is going through a critical phase regarding the risk of a disruption in the supply of US dollars, amid conflicting reports indicating that Washington has suspended shipments for security and political reasons, and official denials from government sources. The crux of the matter lies in the Iraqi market’s complete dependence on liquidity from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which puts the country’s financial stability at risk.

While the State of Law Coalition describes the news of the hard currency shortage as a “major rumor” aimed at political pressure, the Progress Party believes that the stability of the dollar flow is exclusively linked to the quality of the relationship with Washington, which puts the state before the challenge of balancing sovereignty and international obligations.

Big rumor

Khaled Alwan Al-Shallal, a member of the State of Law Coalition, says that “what is being circulated about the cessation of the flow of dollars from the United States to Iraq is somewhat exaggerated,” explaining that “there are strategic framework agreements between Iraq and the United States of America that guarantee the political, economic and even military situation, and therefore the country is facing a great rumor.”

He adds, “Even if there are occasional disagreements about the process of changing or delaying the flow of dollars, it does not reach the point of interrupting dollar payments or halting the wheels of the economy in Iraq to the extent that some expect.”

A senior US State Department official, as quoted by Alhurra website, said that dollar shipments to Iraq “have stopped and will not resume until the features of the new government become clear and the commitment to preventing the use of the dollar to finance attacks against Americans is verified,” stressing that what is happening “is not a break but a response.”

According to two government sources in the Iraqi cabinet, dollar shipments represent the main source of liquidity in the Iraqi market, as Iraqi oil revenues are deposited in an account with the Federal Reserve in New York. The Central Bank of Iraq and the US State Department denied that those shipments had stopped.

Advanced understandings

Al-Shallal believes that “this is like politics and its affairs are related to the existence of actual pressures on the process of forming the government and imposing external wills and agendas, but the Iraqi political situation is of a high degree of responsibility,” noting that “there are meetings between the leaders of the blocs, the latest of which was a meeting at the house of His Eminence Sayyid Ammar al-Hakim, where understandings were reached at a high level, and I expect things to proceed during Wednesday, and an agreement will be reached on a specific candidate who will be announced by the coordination framework.”

cautious anticipation

A member of the State of Law Coalition believes that “the issue of the factions comes in light of a truce between the United States and Iran, with clear anticipation and caution. If the negotiations with Iran and America succeed, the situation will move towards calming down and things will proceed correctly. But if the war returns, then every incident will have its own story.”

Sources quoted an unnamed Iraqi security minister as saying that “suspending coordination meetings is harming Iraq,” noting that Washington had stipulated that those responsible for the recent attacks on the US embassy and a base at Baghdad International Airport be identified before coordination could resume.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bisent said that the United States “will not allow Iranian-backed militias to threaten American lives or interests,” while State Department spokesman Tommy Piot called on Baghdad to dismantle Iranian-linked groups, coinciding with the US Embassy issuing a Level 4 travel warning for Iraq.

According to the sources, “The message from Washington is clear: Iraq does not follow Iran.”

A necessary relationship

For his part, Anwar Al-Alwani, an advisor and member of the Progress Party, says that “economic alternatives and solutions between Baghdad and Washington require a good relationship with the American side,” explaining that “Washington is responsible for the flow of dollars, and therefore any dispute or setback in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington will harm the country’s interest in general, and especially the Iraqi citizen, especially in light of the financial and economic challenges that followed the events between Iran, America and Israel.”

He adds that “developing the relationship with Washington is a necessity for the Iraqi government,” expressing his hope that “there will be concrete steps taken by the Iraqi Foreign Ministry and the Baghdad government, while giving sufficient space for negotiation with the American side and presenting economic alternatives, in a way that contributes to getting Iraq and Iraqis out of any political conflict in the near future.”

Political solutions and channels

Al-Alwani points out that “Iraq’s financial situation is not good, and that imposing any economic sanctions by Washington in the event of a major dispute will harm the country’s higher interests,” stressing that “the interest requires all political blocs and leaders to work on finding solutions and opening political channels with the American side, as well as with neighboring countries such as Turkey and Iran, to get out of the suffocating financial crisis.”

Earlier, the US Embassy, ​​in a statement, accused parties linked to the Iraqi government of providing “political, financial, and operational cover” for armed factions, renewing its Level 4 travel warning for Iraq, which states “do not travel for any reason,” and calling on US citizens in the country to leave immediately.

The Redemption Protocol: How Iraq Plans To Phase Out Three-Zero Notes Securely

 The Redemption Protocol: Iraq’s Strategic Path Toward a Stronger Dinar

1. A Structural Shift, Not a Sudden Event

The process led by the Central Bank of Iraq to phase out the “three-zero notes” is not speculation—it’s part of a long-discussed monetary reform strategy.

From an optimistic perspective, this signals something important:

  • Iraq is preparing its currency for a more modern system
  • It is aligning with international financial standards
  • It is laying the groundwork for a more functional and credible currency

This is not a sudden event—it’s a structural transformation .

2. The Logic Behind Removing Large Denominations

Phasing out 25,000 and 10,000 IQD notes is more than cosmetic reform. It reflects:

  • A transition toward a lower-inflation environment
  • Greater price stability
  • Preparation for more practical, everyday denominations

Historically, countries that implement redenomination aim to:

  • Simplify domestic transactions
  • Increase international confidence
  • Prepare for deeper global integration

3. Dual Circulation: A Positive Signal

During the transition, both will circulate:

Strategically, this indicates:

  • The system is not collapsing—it is adapting gradually
  • Institutional control is being maintained
  • Financial disruption is minimized

For many analysts, this phase builds the confidence foundation required for a stronger currency.

4. Enhanced Security = Stronger Trust

A key pillar of the “Redemption Protocol” is security:

  • Advanced anti-counterfeiting features
  • Increased banking oversight
  • Reduced reliance on untraceable cash

This matters because:

👉 A secure currency is a trusted currency
👉 A trusted currency is more attractive globally

5. Bridging Toward Digital Infrastructure

Iraq is also advancing in:

  • Electronic payments
  • Financial inclusion
  • Banking modernization

In line with frameworks promoted by the Bank for International Settlements

From an optimistic lens, this suggests:

  • Less dependence on physical cash
  • Greater economic transparency
  • Preparation for a more digital global financial system

6. Alignment with the Global System

Progress toward international standards, including steps related to the World Trade Organization, can support:

  • Increased foreign investment
  • Expanded international trade
  • Stronger pressure for monetary stability

All of these create an environment where a currency can strengthen over time.

7. What This Means for Those Expecting a Revaluation

A realistic but optimistic interpretation would be:

  • Iraq is doing the necessary internal work
  • It is building a solid economic foundation
  • It is modernizing its financial system

Rather than a sudden overnight event, the trajectory points toward:

👉 A gradual process that could open the door to a stronger currency in the future

8. Conclusion: Preparation Before Transformation

The so-called “Redemption Protocol” can best be understood as:

  • A structured monetary transition strategy
  • A process of institutional strengthening
  • A step toward global economic integration

From this perspective, optimism is not based on hype—but on observable progress:

Iraq is moving—slowly, but deliberately—toward a more modern and stable financial future.
