Ariel: What I Personally See Happening Between Now and July 4th

Money – The Visible Wealth Transfer
Warsh takes the Fed chair on 15 May and immediately signals aggressive balance-sheet shrinkage plus revised Treasury-Fed Accord.
This forces real yield discipline and ends the post-2008 free-money spigot that funded black budgets and extraction.
Rate cuts follow under controlled conditions, injecting liquidity into the new rails instead of legacy asset bubbles.
CLARITY Act advances out of Senate Banking (already marked up bipartisan) and hits floor vote by late May/early June. ISO-20022 + XRPL/RLUSD bridges go live.
Suppressed currency corridors unlock in sequence: Venezuela’s forex-aligned wage mechanics (May 1 test) expand, Iraq’s post-cabinet HCL passage (partial cabinet seated 14 May under Ali al-Zaidi) opens dinar bridge flows by June.
Tokenized assets (BlackRock DNA/identity plays included) migrate on-chain.
Shock: Visible citizen-level gains higher real wages in reshoring states (Texas, California, Midwest ag), export surges to China post-summit, and revaluation payoffs hitting accounts.
The old inflation tax reverses. People feel actual purchasing power return for the first time in decades.
Gold continues record climbs as central banks and smart money (Lauder/Warsh circles) re-anchor.
The wealth that was extracted flows back visibly.

Thom There is more traction on both the IQD and VND since both of these nations elected new Prime Ministers, both of which are former Bankers. And it is moving faster than I have ever seen.
Reset Intelligence Yesterday, Baghdad swore in 14 ministers in a single chamber session…Al-Zaidi is 40, the youngest premier Iraq has had, and Trump personally intervened in April to block former PM Nouri al-Maliki’s run at the seat…9 of the 23 posts remain unfilled and the security-facing ministries are among them…Half of the cabinet that runs the economy is in place. The other half that defends Babylon isn’t…Within hours of the vote, US Special Envoy Tom Barrack posted that Washington stands ready to work with the new government on “the elimination of terrorism.”
Frank26 Do we have a fully seated government? No. Do we have a majority vote for a seated a government? Yes…You need a fully seated government to pass the laws. You still have a “caretaker” government. That’s not the goal. That’s not what we want. We’re getting there. I’m happy with what happened but I want more.
The Dinar Momentum Is Building Fast
