Article: "Exclusive - US State Department: Nominating Maliki will force us to reassess our relationship with Iraq"
Quote: "The US State Department confirmed on Wednesday that the United States' position remains "firm and unwavering" regarding the nomination of State of Law Coalition leader Nouri al-Maliki for the Iraqi premiership, hinting at harsh diplomatic measures if this option is pursued."
Omar
What Iraq usually does before a rate change:
1. Before every major FX adjustment Iraq has made historically, you have to look at 2015, 2020 and 2023...because that's when the CBI did the following - tightened foreign transfers, restrict who can send money, how much and through which bank.
2. They force banks to use official platforms and block non-compliant banks.
3. Reduced the dollar outflow...All of these are happening right now...The CBI is tightening the control of their currency...
Iraq’s Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday that an oral message conveyed by the United States included a “clear and explicit hint” at the possibility of sanctions if the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), the country’s largest parliamentary bloc, proceeds with its nomination of Nouri al-Maliki for prime minister.
The clarification followed remarks by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein in an interview with Al-Sharqiya TV, after some media outlets reported that no reference to sanctions had been made.
In a formal statement, the ministry explained that the message was delivered by the US side in Washington and consisted of two main components: the first contained an indication that sanctions could target certain individuals and institutions, while the second set out standards governing the nature of cooperation and joint work with the United States, particularly in relation to the formation of the next government and its operating mechanisms.
The ministry stressed that Hussein’s televised remarks addressed only the criteria outlined in the second component and did not cover the portion referring to sanctions, describing this distinction as the source of confusion in some media coverage.
Under Iraq’s post-2003 power-sharing arrangement, the presidency is traditionally held by a Kurd, the premiership by a Shiite Muslim, and the speakership by a Sunni Arab.
On Wednesday, a US State Department spokesperson reaffirmed Washington’s opposition to al-Maliki’s return to office, warning that advancing the nomination could carry serious diplomatic consequences. He outlined three priorities guiding the US position: ending the alleged dominance of Iran-backed groups in Iraqi politics, reducing Tehran’s influence over state institutions, and strengthening economic partnerships aligned with US objectives.
Sources previously told Shafaq News that the nominee, who heads the State of Law Coalition and served as prime minister from 2006 to 2014, denied reports suggesting he might withdraw from the race, while the Coordination Framework continues to reassess the nomination in light of mounting domestic challenges, regional instability, and external pressure.
The institution in focus is the
Central Bank of Iraq.
According to Jeff:
“They’ve never analyzed it at this level.”
His interpretation is that this level of scrutiny signals preparation for:
International market exposure
Currency adjustment
Potential revaluation
🌍 “Going International” – What Does That Mean?
In dinar discussions, “going international” typically refers to:
Full currency convertibility
Broader Forex market participation
Removal of currency restrictions
Adjusted exchange rate structure
The currency in question is the Iraqi dinar.
Jeff argues that bringing in “the money man” — the central bank governor — signals serious monetary restructuring behind the scenes.
📊 Why Ramadan Does NOT Block Financial Moves
It’s important to understand:
Governments continue operating during Ramadan
Banks remain open
Fiscal and monetary policy decisions continue
International financial obligations do not pause
Many Muslim-majority nations conduct economic activity during Ramadan, including bond issuances, banking reforms, and fiscal legislation.
The idea that “nothing major happens” during Ramadan is not historically supported.
🔥 Featured Snippet Highlights
Kuwait reinstated its currency during Ramadan in 1991
Iraq’s Central Bank Governor directly involved in deep budget analysis
Budget review more detailed than previous years
Claims that RV cannot happen during Ramadan historically incorrect
Increased scrutiny may signal international monetary transition
❓ Q&A Section
Did Kuwait really revalue during Ramadan?
Yes. Kuwait reinstated its currency in March 1991 during Ramadan after the Gulf War.
Does Ramadan stop financial policy decisions?
No. Governments and central banks continue operations during Ramadan.
Why is the Central Bank Governor’s involvement significant?
Because currency valuation and international monetary policy fall under central bank authority.
Does deeper budget analysis guarantee a revaluation?
No. It suggests preparation and financial review, but not confirmed timing.
Is Iraq about to go international?
There is no official announcement confirming a currency revaluation at this time.
🧠 What This Means for Dinar Holders
Jeff’s main point is about correcting misinformation:
Historical precedent exists for monetary moves during Ramadan
Iraq’s budget analysis appears unusually detailed
Central Bank involvement is noteworthy
However, until official confirmation occurs, these remain interpretations of observable events.

Community Comment: "They're not going to do anything important during Ramadan."
The country of Kuwait did perform their currency reinstatement during the religious celebratory period of Ramadan in 1991. Kuwait did their currency revaluation on March 24th during their Ramadan period which started on March 17, 1991...So your statement is completely incorrect...When people are incorrect, we will take the time to help you get correct. That's what this is about.
They're preparing to revalue. When we've looked at previous years budgets, they've never analyzed it at this level. They've never seen them bring the central bank governor in doing this type of analysis for a budget.They're about to go international, revalue the currency. That's why things are being studied carefully reviewed at this level, all the way to the level of having the central bank governor in there, the money man.
The United States under President Donald Trump is pressing NATO to scale back several of its foreign operations, including a proposal to end the alliance’s advisory mission in Iraq, NATO diplomats told Politico.
The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity, indicated that the proposal reflects a broader White House effort to refocus the alliance on Euro-Atlantic security.
A NATO official, responding on behalf of the alliance, told Politico that there is “no timeline associated with NATO Mission Iraq,” noting that such operations are based on operational need and subject to periodic review. Any decision to end the deployment would require the approval of all 32 NATO members.
The alliance currently maintains a non-combat advisory presence in Iraq aimed at strengthening the country’s security institutions and preventing the resurgence of ISIS. The initiative was launched in 2018 during Trump’s first term and expanded in subsequent years at Baghdad’s request.
Again, there is no current public legislation or federal announcement confirming such recurring dividend payments.
📈 Social Security Increases Expected?
Bruce also stated:
Significant Social Security increases
Possible additional payment even for those already paid this month
Expected by end of February
The Social Security Administration has not publicly announced extraordinary increases beyond standard COLA adjustments.
🪙 Asset-Backed Currency & The USN Transition
Another major claim involves:
Transition to gold or asset-backed system
Introduction of USN (United States Note)
Treasury notes (USTN) reportedly already positioned in banks
Redemption Centers prepared
The United States Department of the Treasury has not publicly confirmed an asset-backed currency shift or replacement of Federal Reserve Notes.
🌍 NESARA & GESARA – What Are They?
Bruce referenced:
NESARA (National Economic Security and Recovery Act – U.S.)
GESARA (Global Economic Security and Recovery Act – worldwide)
These concepts circulate widely online but have never been enacted into U.S. federal law.
There is no official legislation under these names currently implemented by Congress.
🕊️ Cuba & Iran Government Changes – RV Trigger?
Bruce suggested that:
Political transitions in Cuba
Changes in Iran
could influence RV timing.
He indicated:
If changes finalize by Wednesday night → Notifications Thursday
If delayed → Notifications Friday
Exchanges could start Thursday–Saturday
There is no verified geopolitical linkage publicly confirmed between those nations and any U.S. currency exchange event.
🏦 Redemption Center Activity – A Key Signal?
According to Bruce:
Some Redemption Center staff reportedly told to report at 9:15 AM Thursday
Additional emails expected for staffing confirmation
Possible same-day exchanges
As always, official confirmation from financial institutions is pending.

No official U.S. government program has been enacted for recurring monthly tariff dividend payments.
Is the U.S. moving to a gold-backed currency?
There is no official announcement confirming a transition from fiat currency to gold-backed USN.
Are NESARA and GESARA active laws?
No. They have not been enacted by the U.S. Congress or implemented globally.
Could RV notifications come this week?
According to Bruce’s intel, Thursday–Saturday are “in play,” but this remains unconfirmed.
📅 The Next 10 Days: Critical Window?
Bruce emphasizes:
The next 10 days (through Feb 28) are pivotal
Multiple financial events may align
Governmental changes internationally could influence timing
As always in this space — timing remains fluid.

This article summarizes claims made during Bruce’s Big Call (Feb 17, 2026) and is for informational and community discussion purposes only. No statements herein should be interpreted as financial, legal, or investment advice.
Always verify information through official government and financial institution sources.
In the latest Bruce’s Big Call transcription from WiserNow, Bruce shares the latest intel on several key topics, including debt forgiveness, a potential “Doge payment,” tariff dividends, and the implementation of NESARA/GESARA. Let’s dive into the details.
According to Bruce, we’re under the comprehension (codes J and K) that debt forgiveness is on the horizon. This includes the zeroing out of credit cards and mortgages, which could be initiated by the end of February, just 10 days away. Additionally, a “Doge payment” is expected, described as a lump sum payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, starting at the age of 18 and available to those 85 and older. This payment is said to be a reimbursement for monies taken from us in the past.
The payment is expected to be deposited into the same bank account tied to one’s Social Security direct deposit. Bruce emphasizes that this will be a significant chunk of change, and we’re likely to receive it in a lump sum.
Bruce also discusses tariff dividends, which have been talked about for over a year. President Trump mentioned that these dividends could range from $2,000 to $5,000 per month for 12 months, potentially starting by the end of February. This payment will be made via direct deposit if the government has one’s bank account information.
Furthermore, Bruce mentions that Social Security increases are expected to be implemented by the end of the month, even for those who have already received their Social Security payments. This increase is significant and could result in an additional payment for those who have already received their regular payment.
The conversation also touches on NESARA/GESARA, the National/Global Economic Security and Recovery Act, which is expected to start approximately at the same time as the exchange process. Bruce believes that this will likely coincide with the day we start our exchanges.
Moreover, Bruce mentions that we’re moving towards a gold standard or an asset-backed currency, which President Trump has alluded to. The banks are reportedly set up and ready to go with the new USN (United States Note) currency, and the redemption centers are prepared to facilitate exchanges.
The latest intel suggests that the government changes in Cuba and Iran are expected to take place in the next few days. If this happens, we’re likely to receive notifications on Thursday, and if not, potentially on Friday. Bruce emphasizes that the next 10 days are crucial, and we’re expecting significant developments before the end of February.
In conclusion, the latest Bruce’s Big Call update provides valuable insights into the upcoming changes and developments. While the timing is uncertain, the intel suggests that we’re on the cusp of significant events, including debt forgiveness, tariff dividends, and the implementation of NESARA/GESARA. As always, it’s essential to stay informed and be prepared for the changes that are coming our way.
=======================================
Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-17-26
Transcribed by WiserNow (INTEL ONLY)
Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, February 17, and you’re listening to the big call I hope everybody had a wonderful Presidents Day weekend, and now we’re ready to move on and get everything rolling through the end of the month. So let’s do that.
Let’s talk about where we are. Intel wise, we’ve had people Sue asking about sort of the basic things that Jeannie brings up. What about debt forgiveness? What about the R and R? What about all that? Let’s talk about debt jubilee or debt forgiveness. We are under the we have the understanding or the comprehension, if you will. Then, yeah, exactly, guys. Right? J and K. We’re under the comprehension. I hope so. I know Leo’s laughing too.
So what we’ve got is we’re being told that a lot of things we’re all looking for are going to happen by the end of this month, which is 10 days away. Now, this includes zeroing out of credit cards, zeroing out of mortgages, which I think that could take, they could initiate, and maybe take letters going out once that starts, you know, to everybody to let them know, hey, mortgage has been zeroed out, so, but it’s all supposed to initiate this month debt forgiveness.
We’re supposed to get our they’re calling it a Doge payment. I think it’s monies that have been taken from us that we’re getting back. It’s sort of like not R and R, and it’s not Doge, but whatever they whatever it is, it’s supposed to be a lump sum. And it gets pretty big. It’s into the it’s into the hundreds of 1000s of dollars. When you get older, younger, you are to starts at the age of 18 — 18, and older, get it all the way up.
And they said to 85 obviously, if you’re older than 85 you still get it, but you probably get the same amount as somebody that’s 85 would get, but it’s big, it’s a lot – it’s a large chunk of change, and we’re going to get it at lump sum payment.
Now, older people have a Social Security direct deposit, set up their social and this, as far as I understand this large payment would come into that same account. It’s not social security, but it comes into the bank account that’s tied to your social security. That makes sense. Okay?
That’s how that’s going to happen. Now, the the tariff dividends, remember, we’ve talked about that for, gosh, I don’t even know how long it’s a year, when we’ve talked about that. President Trump said it’d be at least 2000 maybe two or 3001 period could be between two and 5000 – 2000 and 5000. And that would come as a direct deposit.
If they have your bank account information, it would come in as a direct deposit to you, and it would be for starting this month, meaning at the end of the month, for 12 or 13 months. Couple of our sources said it go 12 months. Couple of them said 13 months. So let’s just say it’s going to go for a year, and we’ll see if it goes beyond a year. Okay?
And that’s something that should happen by the end of this month.
Now we have two different sources give us the same information. One was with Social Security, and one was just a very well connected Intel i don’t want to say guru, but Intel person, very high up. So we’re going by that information. We’ll see how that comes out.
Otherwise, as far as increases in Social Security, that’s another thing that is supposed to happen by the end of the month, even if you’ve already had your Social Security Wednesday, which we’ve had two of so far, and the third Wednesday is tomorrow, but because that’s when Social Security payments go out, first, second, third Wednesday and fourth Wednesday of the month.
However, they have not paid the increase amount, which is significant for Social Security. It bigger thing than we think.
It’s not going to happen. It could happen by the end of the month, and people that already received their first second and even their third social security payment tomorrow, they may get an additional payment that would give them the increase. Okay
Now, between you and me, I’m going to say I’ve heard that before, but I’ve heard it a long time. Maybe it’ll happen this month and maybe won’t. Okay, we’ll see what happens.
I’m being told that it will so we’ll see if it happens or not. I would rather see the so called DOGE payment come in, that’s a big lump sum starting at the age of 18. And I’d rather see the tariff dividend payments come in between two and five grand per month for 12 months, I always look pretty solid if those happen were golden,
But we’re also golden if we move into the gold standard or our asset backed currency, we’re in the golden age. President Trump has said it. We’ve seen it in symbolism. We’ve seen it in pictures. You guys have seen references President Trump to were in the Golden Age. The Golden Age is here, that kind of thing.
So we don’t believe they’re trading the USN as an asset backed currency on forex. Yet, we don’t have confirmation of that. However, we know the banks are set up and ready to go with the USN, they have our USTN, our United States Treasury notes, which are the actual physical money, folding money, paper money, that’s brand new, that’s been in the banks for two years now, at least, and then the redemption center is ready to go.
So we’re going to get access to that when we go in for our exchanges, remember, they want us to take no more than about $3,000 in the new USTN currency, our new money. Okay, so you don’t need to load up on that, but you can get a little bit of it if you want, at the Redemption Center.
Now, when we go in to do that, probably there will be something out there that’ll let everybody know that’s our new currency – anyone talking to or saying they don’t plan to announce it. I don’t know. Why not? Why not have an asset backed currency announced? You know, I don’t know.
Maybe they won’t announce it. Let’s just wait and see. But I think that the banks will have the money, and once they start using it, putting it out, everybody will realize, oh, this is our new money.
I personally think it would be smart if they would give us some kind of a heads up when we go in redemption centers so that we can use it if we desire to use it, and not just put it away and hide it somewhere, all right, so that takes care of that part.
So NESARA and GESARA are supposed to start at approximately the same time the National Economic Security and Recovery Act, NESARA , national economic security and Recovery Act that GESARA is the same thing, Global Economic Security and Recovery Act, those two programs, NESARA is for the United States, and GESARA is for the rest of the world.
And they have similar concepts. We have things in our NESARA Bill that will take place.
When will it start? I think it’s already been alluded to, but I think it will start, probably for us the day we start our exchanges.
Now, what about our timing? We talked about, I talked about us getting these things prior to the last day of the month, which is the 28th we’re 28th of February. Is our last day
Now, between now and then the next 10 days, starting tomorrow, next 10 days. I think this is what we’re looking at. We have a situation where the government in Cuba and the one in Iran are about to change over to a more d********c society, a more d********c style of government, when it’s actually called in each country will be determined by the people each country.
But I know that things are happening right now in both of those countries to effect those changes and here’s where we stand. This information came out this afternoon, late, late this afternoon, and it looks to me as what we’re hearing is that based on how those two countries come around, or anticipating them coming around, making those changes in their governments by tomorrow night and see night now, if that happens, we’ve been told that we should get our notifications on Thursday.
If it doesn’t happen and are not complete with the government, change over until Thursday, we would probably be notified on Friday.
So the anticipation is that we’ll get this done by tomorrow or tomorrow night for both of those countries, and we’ll be rolling with notifications, and if we get notified Thursday, it’s quite possible we could begin exchanges on Thursday. Kind of depends on when the numbers come out, early enough to set appointments and get exchanges that day.
If, for some reason, it comes out Friday, we would start Friday and Saturday, so all three days are definitely in play. And to be perfectly candid, if we received numbers either Thursday, Friday or Saturday, we would be able to start exchanges and go right through Sunday, right through the weekend, and so that’s going to work well for a lot of people.
So this is what our prayer is, is for everything to come to fruition as far as these governmental changes, and that they complete as soon as possible, we’re going to speak by tomorrow so that we can get notified on Thursday.
RedemptionCenter staff, a lot of them are waiting for another email on Thursday. They’ll tell them if they’re coming in at what time on Thursday, but we know that some people have already been told to be in the redemption Center at 915, in the morning on Thursday. That gives me hope for a Thursday start, Thursday emails Thursday set appointments and possibly Thursday, exchanges to start.
That is where we are right now, and let’s just believe that this is to happen that I believe according to what I’m hearing. You know, if Cuba and if Iran come to the party and are there complete by tomorrow night, then we’re golden, and we will get our notifications on Thursday, all right, so that is where we are on that.
And I don’t know that there’s anything else that I wanted to bring up. I think that covers everything that I had for now.
So let me do this before we hang up and I turn off the recording. Let’s go ahead and pray the call out.
Well, good night, everybody. Good night Sue. Thank you everybody for your participation, and have a wonderful, wonderful night, Thursday. Same time, same station. All right. Good night, everybody. God bless.
