Deja Vu
- All Over Again
Iran has decided to conduct all international financial transactions in euros rather than dollars according to an article in Al Jazeera. Iraq's attempt to do the same was what brought on the hushed urgency of US invasion.
Terrorism was conveniently (manufactured and?) forwarded as primary excuse. It certainly wasn't the back up flim flam of what the US calls "democracy" among Iraqis. Societies of the US itself as well as allies Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan give lie to that. (no mention of Israel waving its hand and loudly whispering in the not so hidden background.)
The US would like to maintain the status quo of oil, and everything else for that matter, being bought and sold in dollars. With such scheme, it stays by definition the richest of all. It only has to print more of them to remain so. That resulting inflation dogs almost all its people is of little consequence to those who suck up the bucks.
Other nations must have dollars then to buy things. And from where must they acquire them? Why, from the US course by borrowing. The International Monetary Fund and World Bank it controls are only too glad to cooperate. Got a credit card? Same thing. Interest payments keep the borrowers broke and subservient if they want even more loans they are guaranteed to need.
If goods including oil, for which the US hungers, were bought and sold in euros, the US would have to have a way to collect them. That would have to be in the old fashioned manner of selling things in the currency sought. Problem is the US has little of anything anyone else wants. (except maybe military hardware to accompany its decreasingly heeded chant of "Lets you and him fight".)
Hussein was warned not to pursue the money change route but did not cave in. Bombs and invading troops carried the message of mistake. Is Ahmadinejad blind to what is apparent to everyone except Americans, or is he issuing a deja vue dare the US would like to repeat but afraid to conjure?
You've hit the nail on the head, Pocho. Democracy and freedom being used as a cover to stop a run on the bank. If everyone who held dollars demanded value, the US would become a fourth world country of unprecedented poverty. Time for the fat rich white man to start taking language and survival lessons from his gardener and maid.
I sit and watch with blinded eyes the world go by i wonder why.I must sit with blinded eyes to all that happens around me .I sit and hear with death ears to all people say around me i wonder why.When i was small people would come and go the government would take children from moms trying hard kids acting so good but the lady next door who sold and beat her kids never got not 1 bad word.I sit with blinded eyes and death ears hearing them cry watching them walk the streets .No one would come and save them little girls but the lady down the street who worked 2 jobs lost her kids because she left them home along and did not send them into the street to whore for her.So with blinded sees i watch all the injustices with death ears i heard so much pain.How can we be a world with care and heart when the children around the world suffer so many injustices.A mom and dad working all they can make to much to get help churches judging so wrongly just so there blinded hearts and death souls can judge someone worse so they can be better. do they give and helping hand with a crutch to help the people up no they help with a noose when they judge so blindly watch with no heart.When you help with heart you don't judge you help and show with action not force changes to feed someone not force thoughts you help with open ears and a open heart.How can a free world be so blind its easy the world is not free it is the illision of a free world because the world is not just 1 town just 1 country the world is the world all on this planit so how with blinded eyes and death ears can people who refuse to respect others or refuse to see good outside there normal ideas ever truly help with blinded eyes that cant see or death ears that cant hear ????
I wrote this a while back and some resion i think it fits here copyed further left
Funny thing, the US seem to always neglect the fact by invading Iraq they pushed Iran (Iraq's border neighbor) to accelerate on Nuclear Production as a means of defence. I mean there you are sitting in your presidential room suddenly you see the US imperialist troops entering neighboring Iraq, what to do? Throw flowers?!
