“Some Doozies” – Coffee with MarkZ Intel Stream Highlights 1-8-25

Summary:

The latest episode of Thursday Coffee with MarkZ on January 8, 2026, was filled with insightful discussions and updates on various topics, including the Iraqi dinar, Prosperity Packages, and potential changes to the US income tax. Here are some of the key highlights from the podcast, as summarized by PDK.

The conversation began with a discussion on the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar, with one member questioning whether it would happen soon. MarkZ responded by stating that there was a lot to watch currently, but no fresh updates on Prosperity Packages. Another member inquired about CMKX, to which MarkZ replied that he was told the Fines and Penalties portion would be worth $8 to $10 per share, while the trust portion would remain at $8 per share.

MarkZ also shared some exciting news about the US income tax, stating that he believed it would be canceled soon, based on comments from Trump, Scott Bessent, and other administration officials. This sparked a discussion among members, with one hoping that it would happen before April 15th. Another member asked about potential taxes on currency exchange, to which MarkZ responded that he was unsure but was prepared for the possibility.

The conversation then turned to a recent news article from Shafaq News, which stated that the official exchange rate in the 2026 budget would be 1300 Iraqi dinars. MarkZ cautioned that this was not a market revaluation but rather a budget revaluation, which would stabilize the budget but not the market. He emphasized that this did not rule out the possibility of an overnight currency reset or redenomination for cash holders or international RV.

MarkZ also shared some updates on the Iraqi government, stating that the Washington representative and US Embassy were having a meeting with their staff, which was unusual at this time. He also mentioned that there was an 80% chance that Sudani would be chosen as Prime Minister once the President was seated.

The discussion concluded with members sharing their thoughts on the potential revaluation and the importance of being prepared. One member mentioned that a manager at Wells Fargo had stated that the bank would likely be a redemption center, but no timeframe had been given. Another member highlighted the growing trend of states accepting gold and silver as legal tender.

Overall, the podcast provided valuable insights and updates on various topics, and MarkZ’s commentary offered a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at play. As always, MarkZ reminded listeners to consult a professional for any financial decisions and to be cautious in their expectations.

Thursday Coffee with MarkZ. 01/08/2026

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 Mark, Mods and fellow members

Member: To revalue or not to revalue, that is the conundrum.

Member: Almost the end of anther week. We are all still waiting for something good to happen

Member: Anything new on Prosperity Packages or CMKX

MZ: Nothing new on PP’s. There is a lot to watch right now though.

Member: I’m hoping CMKX will be in double digits with all the years and compounding interest

MZ: I was told that it was $8 to $10 dollars a share for the Fines and Penalties and the trust portion stays at $8 a share.

MZ: No fresh bond updates after last night. We had some doozies last night though. Go watch last nights video…It’s worth it.

Member: Will they cancel US Income tax soon?

MZ: This is just my opinion but Trump continues to mention it. Scott Bessent continues to mention it. We are getting more and more folks in the administration say we are about to see the end of income tax. I think its going to be canceled soon.

Member: I just hope its before April 15th.

Member: Will be be taxed on our currency exchange?

MZ: I do not think so…but do not know for sure…So I am prepared to be taxed.

Member: Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Member: Is this true? Shafaq News today-“Officially, the exchange rate in the 2026 budget is 1300 Iraqi dinars”

Member: I guess Iraq is still going to operate on 2 books for now.

Member:  CBI Governor Allaq was brought into Iraq Parliament and questioned on why the new rate wasn’t there.

Member: Funny how Al-Alaq keeps ignoring the elephant in the room with the fact that the dinar rate has to change regarding what they plan to do in 2026 and beyond.

Member: Rumor- US Forces are leaving Iraq by the end of this week!!

MZ: “Newspapers are interested in discussing the file of non-oil revenues ad the reactions to the new customs tariffs” and they are still waiting on the new government to be done. They are trying to get that done today.

MZ: As soon as they seat the President there is a 80% or so  chance that Sudani will be chosen for Prime Minister.

Member: Citizens in Iraq are concerned over their purchasing power from what I understand and contractors are frustrated especially with the Ayscuda system in place so Im not sure how long the CBI will wait.

MZ: We do have the Washington representative and the US Embassy having a meeting with their staff right now “ Washington Embassy: Factions loot Iraq and America: Minister of Justice legal cooperates. “  I think they will have meetings for the next 2-3 days which is a little unusual at this time.

MZ: Don’t anyone jump off a cliff. “The exchange rate will be 1300 dinar in the 2026 budget”  somebody on X did a great breakdown on this. That this is not a market revaluation  but a budget revaluation. 1300 stabalizes the budget but not the market. This does not mean their won’t be an overnight currency reset or redenomination for cash holders or international RV.  

Mark reads the entire post…….please listen to the replay for the details.

MZ: Kudos to whoever did this breakdown.

Member: Do we need to see it in the Gazette first?

MZ: I think we will see it in their Gazette , but I think you and I will already know and most of us will already done our banking before we see it in the gazette. I believe they will do RV first then post it in the Gazette.

Member: Went to our Wells for business yesterday, asked manager if Wells would be our redemption center , manager said don’t know but knows it’s happening not a time frame

Member: 12 plus States signed laws accepting gold and silver as LEGAL TENDER ya lol

Member: Thanks Mark and mods. Hope everyone has a great day

Member: God is about to bestow a great blessing on all of us. Let us rejoice and be glad.
