Wealthion:  4-7-2025

Larry breaks down the key themes of his new book The Big Print, explaining why the sovereign debt crisis is already here, why trust in fiat money is evaporating, and how sound money like gold, silver, and Bitcoin will be essential to surviving what’s coming.

In this episode:

Why gold’s breakout is the ultimate warning signal

How the Federal Reserve system is at a breaking point

Gold vs. Bitcoin: competition or complement?

Why gold equities are misunderstood — and undervalued

The smart way to position yourself now

Larry Lepard: Gold Stocks Are Set to Explode | The Big Print & Asymmetric Bets | Part II

4-8-2025

In Part II of our in-depth interview with renowned investor Lawrence Lepard, Trey Reik continues the conversation to explore why Larry believes gold stocks are poised for explosive upside, and why a looming sovereign debt crisis will force central banks back into money printing, an event he calls “The Big Print.” In this episode:

The mining companies Larry believes could deliver asymmetric returns

How he structures his portfolio across producers, developers, and drillers

The valuation disconnect between gold prices and mining equities, and the key metrics he uses for valuing them

Why silver miners may offer even more leverage and upside than gold miners

Larry’s take on geopolitical risk, and why he sees overlooked opportunity in regions like Africa

Whether rising tariffs could trigger the next global market event

Later, Brett Rentmeester of Windrock Wealth joins the conversation to reflect on Larry’s interview, offering a portfolio manager’s view on the role of physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin in protecting capital in today’s fragile macro environment. Brett also discusses why gold miners have lagged the metal itself, and whether that disconnect is about to change.

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Morning…..we are now halfway through the week……

Member: RV there yet? I feel we're VERY close . Does anyone else feel it?

Member: Mark! with bonds moving what seems like slowly, what are we waiting on? Is there something that still has to happen for 4B to go?

MZ: There is nothing I can think of…except releasing it. It appears to me that they have done everything. But yes…bonds are moving more slowly than we expected. I was told since this was taking so long…some counterfeit bonds were printed in China perhaps……but they are verifying bonds again to make sure only legitimate ones can be redeemed. I am certain this has caused some issues.

Member: Will we see the RV before Easter?

MZ: Things are definitely picking up speed. Is it before Easter….we just don’t know.

MZ: Both of my bond contacts that had appointments yesterday …I try to call or text and it goes straight to voice mail….doesn’t even ring. They had late meetings in a different time zone so it may simply be that they are resting……we shall see.

Member: I believe NDAs are now enforced MarkZ... Guaranteed sir.

Member: Silence is golden.

Member: What kind of bonds were your bond contacts holding Mark?

MZ: Some super Petchellis, some German war bonds, and many of the dragon bonds.

Member: Hey Mark—if they did get paid yesterday, what would that make our timeline look like??

Member: Mark said recently that we shoud go 3-7 days after bonds get paid.

Member: bond contacts don’t seem very reliable.

MZ: They are very reliable. They are telling me exactly what they are being told….whenever they can. They also have been warned recently about “leaks” and have to be careful.  They do not want to risk losing all their funds by talking.  Would you????

MZ: “Iraq faces oil market volatility with well thought out economic plan”  they want us to know that yes, oil is fluctuating…but, they are prepared with stocked up reserves and it will balance out. This is a great one.

Member: there are rumors the lower denominations have been distributed in Iraq.

MZ: I cannot prove that. I have contacts in Baghdad and the northern region but there is no evidence I can find that this has occurred.

Member: Bruce said 2500 traunches of $50B were released into the system for payout….

MZ: We do have money positioned in the system…just not released yet…..The news this week has been fantastic…..but I am trying to temper my excitement.

Member: many gurus think this will happen this week

MZ: Yes many do believe it will happen this week. Its possible it could happen this week…but based on the bond side…if my bond contacts who had appointments last night got dollars….I would get excited…..it would most likely happen on the weekend if that is the case.

Member: Mark do you think the public will go at the same time as us? We have always been told ours, is a private event.

MZ: Yes…but the public is not going to know it. We are like a private group because it will be announced to us very quietly through dinar sites and intel providers…..there will not be a big ad on TV for everyone in the public to go search their sock drawers to go exchange currency.  

Member: will the RV show up on the forex first?

MZ: I think  we will get our notices first…before it shows up on the forex….imo. At least that is how the last few have happened.

Member: I am still waiting for audits to be done with the US Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and Ft. Knox to happen……putting our RV money in a broken system isn’t logical.

Member: Maybe that is already happening ….behind the scenes and quietly.

Member: IRS chief said to be resigning.

Member: It seems very quiet right now and I compare this if my Great Grandchildren are this quiet they are up to something and all hell about to happen.

Member: I am praying your “BIG” bond contacts were paid yesterday Mark! This will be a great ending to our week!

Member: maybe RV will happen on Easter cause Trump always mentions Easter is going to be a great day 4/20

Member: Thanks Mark and Mods…..everyone have a wonderful day

Tishwash:  Tomorrow... Iraqi and American Chambers of Commerce Sign Contract to Regulate Private Sector Operations

The head of the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce, Abdul Razzaq al-Zuhairi, announced today, Tuesday, the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the private sector tomorrow, Wednesday. He explained that the government has included regulating the private sector in its program.

In a statement to Al-Iraqiya News Agency, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), al-Zuhairi said, "Tomorrow will witness the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the private sector."

He explained that "American companies are distinguished by greater flexibility and capabilities, and they have extensive experience working with countries around the world. In addition, Americans have everything they need to work in Iraq, especially in the field of industry."

He pointed out that "the banking base in Iraq has become large and global, and it is possible for us to work within it." He explained that "the agreement signed yesterday, in addition to the agreement to be signed tomorrow, includes regulating work in the Iraqi and American private sectors." He emphasized that "the government has included in its program the regulation of the private sector and supports many areas, especially loans and the purchase of machinery and equipment," noting that "despite the difficult circumstances we faced, the results were positive on the ground."

Al-Zuhairi also referred to "addressing taxes, customs, the companies law, and the agency law," indicating that "there is a package that the government sent to Parliament for a vote, which is the most important package."

He explained that "the work of the private sector requires continuous updating, as there are new systems, laws, and new programs that change from time to time. Land acquisition was previously under the agrarian reform law, as was the energy issue, and many other issues have been finalized."

He explained that "what the government has done over the past period has been exceptional," expressing his hope that "support for the private sector will continue in order to attract the largest number of international companies and employ the workforce."  link

Tishwash:  US Energy Secretary: I will visit the Middle East this week to promote investment in the United States.

 US Energy Secretary Chris Wright will begin a two-week tour of three Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

This trip, which will also include Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, is expected to pave the way for President Donald Trump's visit to those countries, likely in mid-May.

"I will be visiting the Middle East this week to promote investment in America," Wright wrote on his personal X account on Tuesday.

Looking forward to visiting the Middle East this week and promoting investment in America! https://t.co/qbj0ghIeoj

— Secretary Chris Wright (@SecretaryWright) April 8, 2025

 A source at the Ministry of Energy said that Wright will begin his trip in the United Arab Emirates, followed by Saudi Arabia over the weekend, and then Qatar, and will also meet with leaders of several countries. The source added that Wright will likely hold talks on ensuring abundant global oil supplies outside of countries whose oil exports are subject to US sanctions, including Iran, Venezuela, and Russia.

Discussions will also focus on the three countries' investments in the United States, after the UAE last month committed to a $1.4 trillion, 10-year investment framework in artificial intelligence, semiconductor, energy, and manufacturing infrastructure.

The source said that Wright will visit oil and gas production sites in the Middle East, looking for ways to reduce costs. He added that he will also visit a nuclear power plant in the UAE.  link

Tishwash:  How Iraq is Modernising and Diversifying its Growing Economy

How Iraq is Modernising and Diversifying its Growing Economy

For the last three years Iraq has enjoyed relative stability, good oil prices and a growing economy. For those who invested in the Iraqi stock market, returns of over 100% are common and GDP in 2025 is estimated to be up to 5%.

Oil and Gas sales has driven this expansion, but other factors such as sovereign wealth funds are now encouraged by the GOI's stability to invest, such as the Saudis with their Public investment fund, the Qataris ( both government and private sector, and the Gulf states, have driven around $3.5bn investment into infrastructure, housing and the development road initiative, in addition to Iraqis investing in consumer real estate such as cafes and housing  all feeding off economic and political confidence. The government has also pledged up to $400bn of investment into development, infrastructure and the Al Fawr port complex and the new $15bn trade deal with UK for cyber, telco and defence support.

At IBBCs Baghdad conference in February, over 350 business delegates flocked to hear the leading minsters or oil, communications, foreign affairs and key advisors to the Prime Minister, expand on opportunities in Iraq, where the atmosphere was palpably enthusiastic to participate in the new Iraq economy.

Beyond Infrastructure we also see expansion in Schooling and Universities, in more diverse services such as travel, tech and professional services like law and banking. Collaboration with international companies and countries is key to Iraq's evolution, as new skills and technologies are coming into the country, driven by international confidence in Iraq. Iraq needs a more skilled workforce to enable engineering and business expansion, and companies like Unihouse and Mselect are supporting these skills.

Indeed, IBBCs membership mix reflects this diversification, modernisation and internationalisation of the economy: private schools, training and skills companies, tech and media companies, high end added value design, and the establishment of Agritech and marine sector companies bringing expertise into the country like DPD, AL Zaman Group(Marine Shipbuilding company Uk Ltd ) Gold Sponsors, and CJ-ICM.

At our Spring Conference at the Mansion House on June 3rd we will showcase the leaders in these new sectors and explain why they are now investing and establishing in Iraq.

You will also meet the best of British expertise, through the sagacity of Lord Howell on energy, Lord Green on banking, Professor Frank Gunter with his report on Iraq Entrepreneurs, and from Iraq the minister of Transport, who will outline the significant infrastructure opportunities, as well as other Iraqi officials soon to be confirmed. Underpinning UK investment the UKEF CEO, Tim Reid, will present how companies can access the £billions in UK trade guarantees, Jon Wilks CMG ( former Ambassador) will articulate his much anticipated geo political insights and dynamics especially with an election looming and developments in Syria, Iran and the Middle East

The IFC on investment initiatives led by Hogan Lovells (Gold sponsor) and with TBI (Gold Sponsor), and key IBBC companies in energy, finance , maritime, agritech, tech and education will be evident on stage.

For those wanting more interactive discussion there are roundtables on Entrepreneurship, Growth, Transport (with Sardar, Gold Sponsors), Education and a special Tourism and heritage panel and exhibition. On 2nd June will be a special networking reception at the Mansion house for delegates, and the Tech forum online - covering how AI and Tech support the services sector- including its use in education, investment and Pharma.

To view the latest speaker, line up and to register, please go to this link on IBBCs website.

While the worlds stock markets are in turmoil, for once, Iraq presents a beacon of economic and social stability as it takes the long march towards modernity and diversification of its economy. Come and hear how this is happening and meet the people who are making it happen. Register here for the IBBC Mansion House conference.

Gold sponsors include: Trade bank of Iraq, Sardar Group and Al Zaman Group (Marine Shipbuilding company Uk Ltd), Hogan Lovells International LLP  link

DEBT CRISIS: Fed Meltdown Accelerates as Gold Confirms Crisis

Taylor Kenny:  4-8-2025

Gold isn’t just rising—it’s warning us. While the media obsesses over headlines and politics, the real story is buried in the numbers: a $36 trillion U.S. debt crisis that’s spiraling out of control.

Even veteran experts admit—we’re in uncharted territory.

In this video, Taylor Kenney breaks down what gold is signaling, why central banks are dumping dollars, and how you can protect your wealth before it’s too late.

MZ: I have another one who went into a meeting about 8 minutes ago. They are expecting their final contracts and 1% payment at those meetings. I know a couple more with appointments tomorrow as well.

Member: I wonder how far thru bond process are we... 30% complete before we go? That was the rumor.

MZ: In Iraq: “The speaker of the House of Representatives , Dr. Mashadani receives the charge at the US Embassy” in other words Mr. Rubenstien from the American Chamber of Commerce and delegation has arrived.

The Financial Kill Switch Has Been Flipped – No More 'Buy the Dip' | E.B. Tucker

The Financial Kill Switch Has Been Flipped – No More 'Buy the Dip' | E.B. Tucker

Kitco News:  4-7-2025

U.S. markets have erased nearly $10 trillion. Gold briefly slipped below $3,000 an ounce. The VIX spiked above 60. And now, with President Trump threatening 50% tariffs on China, the global financial system is showing signs of strain.

 In this interview, E.B. Tucker, author of Why Gold? Why Now? and editor of The Tucker Letter, joins Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, to break down what he calls the triggering of the “Financial Kill Switch.”

Tucker explains why the era of “buy the dip” is over, how the system is being reprogrammed, and where capital should move before the next phase hits.

Key Topics:

– Why the “virtuous circle” of rising markets is dead

 – What the Fed’s silence means as recession rumors grow

– Gold’s role as the only asset without a kill switch

– Why Poland, China, and Germany are moving fast on gold

 – How the system is designed to keep most investors paralyzed

– What sectors could thrive under Trump’s new regime

– Why Tucker says “most people are fully exposed and don’t even know it”

Member: Good morning everyone….I hope you’re having a pleasant day and God bless you all.

Member: Still poor and waiting …hopefully we are almost there!!!

Member: Could today be the day we have been waiting for?????

MZ: There are great bond expectations for later on today.  Most of them are coming out of Europe so we will keep an eye on it. Hopefully we will hear something positive later on today or tonight. Hopefully we will see some progress.

Member: Many others are also saying bond payments start today and tomorrow

MZ: Yes I am hearing that from a number of sources. European and Asian sources are anticipating final contracts and payments sometime today or tomorrow…Domestic contacts are not hearing a thing yet.

MZ: Many are sitting on pins and needles today.

Member: MM&Crew had an AMAZING video put out in the last 24 hours. don't miss it!

MZ: “Sudani discusses with JP Morgan mechanisms to secure remittances and their access to Europe and America”  this is all about the banking reforms/white paper reforms. These reforms will end in raising the purchasing power of all Iraqis

Member: Iraq Cards go Live tomorrow....hmmmm

MZ: “No significant barriers left to resume Kurdish oil exports”  Many articles about this today.

MZ: “A parliamentarian reveals the date of arrival of the 2025 budget tables”  It will be later this week or early next week

MZ: The timing maybe ideal to tie in with our bond completions.

Member: A delegation of economists are in Iraq right now….over 60 of them …..To me this sounds exciting.

Member: If oil drops keeps dropping- what will that do to the rv ?

MZ: They say in articles that this will not affect them…A advisor to Sudani say they have taken into account oil fluctualtions.  

​​Member: I think the 50.00 or so  oil is good for the adjustment of prices of all other goods

Member: Major turning point in Iraq's security landscape, several Iranian-backed militia groups prepared to disarm in an effort to prevent conflict w/US under Pres Donald Trump. - Reuters

Member: Mark- for the peeps still worrying- The Dow is higher today (39,364.05) than at the close on 4/30/2024 (37,815.92).

Member: Did anything happen at the closed door meeting of the Federal reserve yesterday?

MZ: I have not been able to find anything …yet.

Member: Rueters, news Anchors and economists are now talking about revaluations and exchange rates ect….Main stream is now talking about what we have been talking about for years.

MZ: They are …how many articles are we seeing talking about resets…fianancial resets….talking about moving to gold…..wow….its big conversations in financial realms all over the world. They are all talking about the impending reset to commodities.

Member: Can you give us the QFS link?

MZ: There is no QFS link. There is some really bad information being spread out there. You cannot get a QFS account yet.

Member: Hopefully, the QFS is running parallel with everything so they already knew what needs to be done on day one.

Member: We have a few dates of interest coming up….April 15th is tax day…(was hoping taxes would be gone by then) and April 20 is Easter…Easter weekend is a 3 day weekend – maybe a 4 day weekend with good Friday.

Global Currency Reset:

Tues. 25 March 2025 Mr. Pool: Reports from Reno suggest that the first batches of ZIM holders have been escorted under military guard to classified exchange points. https://t.me/Official_MrPool

On Tues. 25 March at 2am EST Tier 3 and T4a Paymasters were (allegedly) made LIQUID. …Mel on BOOM Call https://youtu.be/VSmR4LfsfYs

Thurs. 27 March 2025 Bruce: Bond Holder Paymasters were saying Bond Holders would have access to their accounts last weekend. As of ten am Thurs. 27 March 12% of Bond Holders had gone through. Multiple sources said Tier4b (Us, The Internet Group) would likely get notification to set appointments very soon. The full revaluation will (allegedly) happen after Tues. 1 April 2025. The month of April will (allegedly) see an increase in Social Security payments. On Thurs. 27 March the 800 number was (allegedly) being loaded into the various systems.

Sat. 5 April 2025 MarkZ: I have some Wealth management/redemption contacts working tomorrow Sun. 6 April. I know a couple will be landing in a redemption area on Tuesday 8 April and they hope it’s to work and start 4b exchanges. They are trained to help with tier 4b. I do have some bond folks that have received some dollars. Not nearly enough have gone yet to release things to us. Not nearly enough large groups and large numbers of people have been completed yet. But money is moving …people have real dollars…..so to me it’s clear things are underway.

Mon. 7 April 2025 URGENT: QFS IS ACTIVE — GESARA IS REAL — THE DEEPSTATE IS FALLING FAST …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is LIVE and tracking every corruptt banker, every treasonous politician, and every dirty transaction across the globe. The Deepstate’s days are DONE.

Bankers are being arrested in real time. Gitmo flights are increasing. The QFS is untouchable — run by quantum satellites protected by classified Space Force tech, rendering all Cabal attempts to hack or delay the system completely useless.

GESARA is no longer a dream — it’s coming FAST. Every country that wants to trade must be GESARA compliant. Those that aren’t? They’ll be left behind, begging for survival through bartering like medieval peasants.

The Central Bank system is collapsing. The QFS is already replacing SWIFT, crypto, and outdated blockchains. All currencies will be backed by real gold or assets, not fake fiat or imaginary tokens.

This isn’t some future event — it’s happening RIGHT NOW. The QFS has been secretly running alongside the corrupt system, catching every illigal transfer. That’s why so many bankers have vanished.

Every dollar, euro, and yen is being digitally tagged, traced in real-time. If it’s stolen, the system knows who, when, and where, and arrests follow instantly. The Cabal is out of moves — and they know it.

The Revaluation and Global Currency Reset (GCR) are ready to roll. A powerful formula is being used to value every currency equally, backed by physical gold. When it launches, the price of gold becomes irrelevant — because all money will be tied to real assets.

Walkingstick  Iraq has mirrored our banks and Iraq has mirrored our ports. 

Jeff   The rate change is extremely close...It's ridiculously close right now.  It's amazingly close.   When the rate does change I will let you know...

Militia Man  Article:  "The Central Bank of Iraq denies stopping supplying travelers with dollars and the official price"  Well well! The Central Bank is putting the fake news on notice! The bank will not tolerate fake news and may prosecute those responsible for today’s earlier article stating that Iraq stopped selling dollars to travelers at the official exchange rate. This shows there are entities that want to stir up doubt and that doubt goes against her focus on sustaining confidence in the banking system! Good on the central bank!
