Is This The End Of The U.S Dollar? Geopolitical Moves “Obliterate U.S Petrodollar Hegemony “
It seems the end really is nigh for the U.S. dollar.
And the mudfight for global dominance and currency war couldn’t be more ugly or dramatic.
The Saudis are now openly threatening to take down the U.S. economy in the ongoing fallout over collapsing oil prices and tense geopolitical events involving the 9/11 cover-up. The New York Times reports:
Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
China has been working for years to establish global currency status, and will strengthen the yuan by backing it with gold in moves clearly designed to cripple the role of the dollar. Zero Hedge reports:
China’s shift to an official local-currency-based gold fixing is “the culmination of a two-year plan to move away from a US-centric monetary system,” according to Bocom strategist Hao Hong. In an insightfully honest Bloomberg TV interview, Hong admits that “by trading physical gold in renminbi, China is slowly chipping away at the dominance of US dollars.”
Putin also waits in the shadows, making similar moves and creating alliances to out-balance the United States with a growing Asian economy on the global stage.
Luke Rudkowski of WeAreChange asks “Is This The End of the U.S. Dollar?” in the video below.
He writes:
In this video Luke Rudkowski reports on the breaking news of both China and Saudi Arabia making geopolitical moves that could cause a U.S economic collapse and obliteration of the U.S hegemony petrodollar. We go over China’s new gold backed yuan that cannot be traded in U.S dollars and rising tension with Saudi Arabia threatening economic blackmail if their role in 911 is exposed.
Visit WeAreChange.org where this video report was first published.
The Federal Reserve, Henry Kissinger, the Rockefellers and their allies created the petrodollar and insisted upon the world using the U.S. dollar to buy oil, placing debt in American currency and entire countries under the yoke of the West.
But that paradigm has been crumbling as world order shifts away from U.S. hegemony.
It is a matter of when – not if – these events will change the U.S. financial landscape forever.
As SHTF has warned, major events are taking place, and no one can say if stability will be here tomorrow.
Stay vigilant, and prepare yourself and your family as best as you can.

I have to laugh at the anti-americunts and anti-dollar agnendist that are unable to connect the dots of globalism interconnectedness and see the trees for the forest. This even as we see the brics collapsing into economic crisis. The brics are the only alternative to the dollar and that is mainly the Chinese Yuan. How about the Chinese Yuan and economy lately? What a joke.
The dollar is not going anywhere until globalism decays and dies. This includes the petro-dollar and the reserve currency status. They are one in the same dummies. Financial illiterates want to separate them like they are different realities.
This article is pure agendist BS that has proven out to be propaganda like we had in the past. Remember all the talk about China becoming the new economic super power. Now look at China. It is in the worst shape of any major power except maybe Japan. China is lucky because it may be in bad shape but since it is so large and so important it can be in bad shape and export its problems to the rest of the world and the rest of the world has no chose but to adapt.
If you look at petro dollar issues and dollar reserve currency status you see a different situation from the one this article is painting. The Saudi’s could try to sell their US denominate assets then buy what? There are not enough other assets to buy. A dramatic change to the economic status quo disrupts the economy for everyone including the US. It is nothing more than Russian roulette for everyone.
We have so many hostile attitudes in the world with the blamer and complainers and the winners and losers mentality. The facts are we are all in this together and there is no decoupling. This is a zero sum game of less and loss. Destroy the dollar and the US but be honest on the outcomes.
I can’t wait to see the post by the anti-americunts on this board spew their filth and puke. No I do not support the global system and or the dollar. I want globalism to end and localism to happen. Yet, the situation is we are all facing a train wreck so present the facts of this train wreck properly. We are speeding down the tracks to a brick wall. That is a known. We could throw the brakes and jump the tracks and crash too. This is what major reorientations of the global economic system means. You disrupt the global system and the derailment could be as bad as the brick wall. The agendist anti-amaericunts want you to believe if we kill the evil US things will work out for the better. What a bunch of losers.

I have to agree with Davy on this. The major economies of the world are interconnected especially China and the US. So, trying to undermine one part or one player only undermines everyone. Also, for better or worse the World Economy is tied to Fossil fuels especially OIL. We are know we waited to long to transition. So, what we have now is a case of everyone beginning to collapse simultaneously. That is why you see coordinated actions by Central Banks, Governments and Markets. They all know they can only try and prop each other up lest they all fall down. Well now the dynamics and momentum of collapse is too strong to avert or forestall for too much longer.

Japan is not in bad shape. Clean cities, efficient public transport. Plenty of food. Declining population and so far resisted to fill the decline with 3rd world imports. High standard of living.
Just because rich bankers complain about lack of growth doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.

Hello, you will rile up the Ozark Redneck if you say that an Asian country is better then America. Fly in over any Japanese city and it will be clean, orderly, and modern with solar panels and wind towers everywhere. The yen may collapse, but the infrastructure is 1st rate. I see it every year when I pass thru an airport there. I cannot say the same for the American cities I fly over or land in. Trash by comparison.

In 1960 the GDP/$ of crude produced was $65.46, by 2014 that had fallen to $29.75. Essentially, it has followed the energy delivered from a barrel of crude to the general economy about perfectly. The value of oil to the economy is approaching zero, and that is because the energy it can deliver is approaching zero. Depletion is taking its toll!
As its relevance in the economy goes down, its value is going down; and its price will follow:
http://www.thehillsgroup.org/depletion2_022.htm
When oil producers can no longer make money producing oil they will stop. Without oil there will be no PetroDollar, simply because there will be no Petro. The same will happen to the PetroYuan, PetroEuro, and PetroRubble. At $40 oil producers can no longer make money producing oil; the best they can do is convert their assets (their reserves) into a cash flow. That is exactly what they are doing. That will continue until those assets are gone, when they are gone so also will be the oil industry. We are seeing that today as thousands of companies are filing for bankruptcy, and firing employees.
Soon a PetroAnything will become an oxymoron!

Its a sad indictment of America (and it happened after the JFK assassination as well), that relevent important facts get overlooked to prevent a war that would be more disastrous than doing nothing. I guess the Bush admin was well aware that people in Saudi were behind 9-11 I guess they also guessed that Pakistan had its hand also, but that since the US had created Jihadism in Afghanistan and Kosovo/Balkans, then handling it quietly would be better. Sadly I guess the US kinda got its own back when it handed Iraqi oil over to friends of Iran, then blowbacks a bitch.
America cant afford to lose a client state in Saudi, the world cant really. Now all jihadis are mainly swarming over deserts in the middle of nowhere throwing Arabs from rooftops, being all more Catholic than the Pope they are.
The real problem is that those at the top would never believe we must hypocritically use the tools against our enemies and yet do the same ourselves, waterboarding is only torture when Putin does it, its only a barbaric execution in Islamic State, Saddam was evil because he tortured, the Saudi king is merely fighting terrorism. The Devil knows his own.

Davy is an example of sheep grazing on ignorance. Notice his profane shill? This reflects his frustration of not being able to make an argument. No where does he mention why China, Russian and India, just to name a few, are loading up on gold and moving away from the dollar hegemony. Davy can’t understand this because he has poisoned himself with his own kool-aid.

Four airliners hijacked and no military jets scrambled to see what was up in the most militarily protected airspace in America.(DC/NY) A perfectly controlled collapse of not just one but three buildings in the same day.
It was a well planned operation by an unknown number of players, but it was NO surprise to the President who just happened to be well away from DC and in a school room reading to kids. LMAO

The break down of the US$ is happening because there is no longer any balance or discipline in the financial system. It really only benefits the USA. They are making the rules for everyone and that is No Longer acceptable. Force would be met with force.Balance and respect for all has to be restored. It can not be a one way street.

“No where does he mention why China, Russian and India, just to name a few, are loading up on gold and moving away from the dollar hegemony.”
Without an economy that gold is of no use. Unless they are planning on running a 13th century feudal state were net worth is judged by number of oxen owned, backing up a currency with anything when there is no economy is an exercise in futility. Without oil there is no economy, and that is were the whole thing is headed! Of course if you don’t understand why oil is used in the first place, it probably won’t make any sense to you anyway!
makati1 on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 9:38 am
Joy, and if the price of gold jumps to say, $10,000/oz. and China can pay it’s debts in new gold, what then?
You seem to forget that China is NOT a democracy. It is still a communist government with a thin overlay of democracy. They don’t need to go to the public to make changes or laws. They just do it. But they are telling their citizens to buy gold as a store of wealth. Does that sound like they don’t have a plan? They plan far into the future. The US plans for next week … maybe.
BTW: America’s real debt is in excess of $260T, not the ~$19T that is advertised. Or don’t you want your retirement and savings?
makati1 on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 9:43 am
Short, I think they know what they are doing. Back the yuan/ruble/rupee with gold and see how fast the rest of the world moves away from fiat and dollars. Do you think trade cannot be in gold?
Of course, I do not think the Us has any gold. No one has seen it for decades. Gold has been the trade goods for millenia. oil is a flash in the pan soon to be history.
scott davis on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 9:44 am
all the more reason for us to become energy independent from these parasites who hate us.its obvious the saudi government helped the muslim terrorists on 9/11,why else are they so paranoid about releasing that concrete information.congress has the right to see it and we have the right to know whats in it.let them sell off their american assets,if we are energy independent we won’t need them.fracking brought down the price of gas through competition.barry for some unknown reason{his people did an environmental study and found the keystone pipeline posed no threat}shot the pipeline down.very suspicious.he closed the gulf to drilling and pushed anti fracking laws.again,very suspicious.

world currency should be based on the calorie. basing currency on finite resources leaves everyone susceptible to manipulation.
Base currency on work, or the capacity to do work. like… the Calorie…. and the true value of 1 unit will never change.
is this a good idea?

A terrible collapse arrives in 2017
I have been predicting that year since over 18 years ago.
As this collapse happens so does the rest
of the world. A global collapse followed
by the first ever real WORLD WAR. A remnant population on earth survives &
humanity struggles to start over again.

“Short, I think they know what they are doing.”
Yeah, I’m sure Chinese elites and government leaders DO know what they are doing — trying desperately to keep the red Ponzi from falling of the cliff and dragging the rest of the world down with it.
Anybody who reads regularly on the state of the Chinese economy must realize that there is no plan other than to keep the debt-fueled economy from collapsing for a little while longer. Needless to say, almost all nations are in exactly that same boat. Neither China or America are special in that regard. THE PLAN is to keep BAU viable, to keep the really bad shit from exploding, for another week or month or two into the future. After that, more debt and more central bank/FED maneuvers to keep it all held together for another short period into the future, at which time they’ll have to think of something new.
The most recent “PLAN”, coming out of the G20, is/was obviously to pump up the stock markets and EM economies with yet another massive injection of debt/liquidity. $1 trillion newly issued debt by China in the Q1 2016 has done WONDERS to lift EM currencies and get those miners and shippers and resource extractors back in the game, for a little while. But this burst of debt will soon run its course, the euphoria will fade away, and it will all start spiraling down again.
Davy is right. The prospect of the Chinese currency replacing dollars as reserve currency or the new “petro” currency is a delusion. And all this speculation about who has the gold and how much is missing the point — the time is coming where the availability and ability to produce food and security is going to sort out the winners and losers. You can’t eat gold, and gold is a very poor substitute for lead in bullets. Gold is a subject of fascination for those who are deluded enough to think they’ll be able to hang on to their “wealth” as the rest of the world burns around them.
Interesting and highly informative article on the state of China’s economy — and they’re supposed to replace America as the “world leader”? Give me a break!

Who cares, the dollar is not backed by gold or oil. The dollar is just what we say it is worth. Let China back the yuan with gold and we just stop making jewelry and it loses its value. As everyone learns in junior high, something is only worth what you think it is worth to you. Just ask Apple.

I do not think me and Davy are living in the past. In fact the tendency because of real time synchronized stock markets and globalization has been a merging of capital, assets etc of many countries. Plus as was pointed out, everyone is tied to the debt based system thus its capitulation would spell doom for everyone. Oh and yes guys us truly in the know Americans know that the US govt was the puppet master in 911, they just contracted out certain tasks and deferred in the minute details to KSA and Israel so they could cover their tracks
sunsale on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 10:47 am
Here is the solution to this. Trump for president first. Then If the Saudis were promoting the 911 attack. We should initiate a sneak attack and obliterate all life in Saudi Arabia. Then confiscate all their assets as spoils of war since they attacked us. Then next if the Bush clan were co conspirators. (Highly possible since Prescott Bush tried to overthrow our government just after ww11) The entire Bush clan should be arrested and scheduled for public execution. The government could sell raffle tickets for a all citizen position in the firing squad with the executioners providing their own weapons and ammo. Then we could move on to the other traitor politicians with the same raffle. The traitor Hillary under the espionage act and then on to the invasion promoting traitor Obama and his Czars, the owners of the private corp, federal reserve and many many more politicians and 1% participating in the Skull and Bones, Bildeburg group, Trilateral commission,Bohemian grove group, etc.This would solve the Arab problem, the criminal traitor politician problem and the raffle would raise large sums of money for the government to help eliminate our debt. The American taxpayer wins as it well should be.

Loading up on Gold, Ron, is that the best you can do. I have no respect for people like you that occasionally check in, leave a turd and move on. Who knows who or what you are. You talk like a sock puppet for Makati Bill.
Ron, why not explain what loading up on gold means. Why not mention how that will effect currencies good and bad. You do realize there is a positive and negative to having gold and influencing your currency with it. You are one of those “gold good not gold bad” types without the ability to dig deeper.
Do you realize that gold limits a countries currency flexibility if they tie their currency to gold. This is why you will never see China link the Yuan to gold. They are the worlds biggest currency manipulator.
Apneaman on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 11:26 am
sunsale, Trump is a 1% with a very shady past. Does that mean we are going to see the first “legal” execution of a POTUS?
I have to disagree with firing squads – it’s so 19th century…BORING! Besides we need the ammo, it’s the only thing that will penetrate the thick alien lizard skin – we’ll need all of the ammo to take them out. I think the sheeple will find it way more entertaining if we have some kinda talent show where the winners get to pick a new and creative method of execution every week. I had this dream where the winner was previously on another retarded reality TV show, The apprentice, where Trump had cruelly fired him, so his method of execution for Trump was to shave his head and have the hair braided into a rope then have him strangled with it during the half-time show at the Super bowl.

@pj Liu
Your assertion, “Currency should be based upon the Calorie” Why? Your answer “basing it on finite resources leads to manipulation” No evidence of this and no rational chain of thought. All you offer is a loose Ipse dixit (that is to say a self assertion). so the answer to your first assertion is another assertion neither of which are held up by any logical chain nor do you disdain to offer up any proof for the assertions upholding themselves. The reasoning is circular and void of any meaning. The only thing I need to say beyond this is that real resources are finite and any system we adopt better keep that in the foreground or the reality of the world will soon make itself known. Let’s move on.
“Base Currency on work”. As far as I know the biggest proponent of such a system (and I believe it’s originator) was Karl Marx with his famous “Labor Theory of Value”. Although John Maynard Keynes also proposed this idea as a way around the problem of calculating a National Dividend (essentially Shunning an idea that had very minor uses in order to embrace an idea that has no uses whatsoever).
Here is the problem with such a system, No two workers are the same, just as you cannot throw a pound of diamonds and a pound of water into the same measurement and get a total that has any economic meaning other than a weight, neither can you compare different peoples work. Not only does the doctors work not equate to that of a janitor, neither does the painters work equate to that of the doctor or the janitor (ad infinitum for each specialized branch of labor). Let alone each Doctor is different than every other doctor not only in quality but in the scope of their practice. And again each doctor is different in his work in the morning versus the same doctors work in the evening or on different days of the week etc… You have no ability to calculate what the different services are worth to society by how much labor went into them. The only way you have to calculate how much society considers something to be worth is by what they are willing to trade in return. These goods that will be traded are other Finite Goods. This is to say, if we extract from money for a moment we can see that one good or service is always traded for other goods and/or services. However, as a medium of exchange emerges in a society all goods and services can be traded against this one Finite commodity (money).
One more note on a Caloric Exchange model. How do we separate the calorie uses of a dancer who is doing it for fun and pleasure (does not get paid) versus a dancer who does it for theatre or another who does it for adult themes (gets paid but different than another)? Or what about a dancer who dances for fun and still gets paid for it? How can you throw together such non-homogeneous groups and expect any kind of meaning out of their calculations?
onlooker on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 11:58 am
Exactly Ron, what will it benefit countries with onerous debt to load up on gold. They cannot trade with it. Nor will they buy things with it. It is not the world we live in now and especially where we will be living in the near term future. Representations of wealth will mean squat. Actual resources and skills will be what the world will be about if that.

ROFL? ‘Saudi’ arabia is not a partner( in any capacity) in creating an alternative to uS petro-dollar hegemony. The only way that would, or could happen, is when the heads of every male member of the saudi first family is one the end of sharpened spikes in Riyadh. And even that might not do it. So dependent on the uS is arabia..
JuanP on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 12:46 pm
I believe today that the US government was behind 911 in one way or another.
I know that the US dollar has been losing value and relative importance for decades in spite of all the violence perpetrated by the US government all over the world to prop it up. I believe that at some point in the future the US Dollar is gonna experience a crash and lose most of its value.
I no longer hold US Dollars. My savings are in emergency supplies, and lead, silver and gold. We buy supplies and metals every month with our spare US Dollars.
Trying to time the collapse of the US Dollar is a fool’s errand, so I decided to get out early. I advice others to do the same. There might be a cost to getting out early, or not. Who knows? But there will certainly be a huge cost to pay for those who didn’t get out in time like I did.
My grandpa told me to sell high and buy low. The US Dollar is artificially high and gold is cheap, I know what to do. If you believe in the USA and your US Dollars, then by all means hang on to your dreams. The longer you hang on to them, the better for people like me.
Thomas Blankenhorn on Sun, 24th Apr 2016 12:47 pm
The solutions to get us on the path to economic prosperity is given above. Our leaders have been apprised over 5 years ago and they prefer to take us down through their inaction and allowing the Federal Reserve to commit financial terrorism on the citizens of this country.
We need the unlawfully manipulated up stock market to fall 75% to fair value for this masked depression of true NEGATIVE 7% real GDP growth upon proper accounting (and has been deeply negative for each of the past 8 years). This would compress the wealth divide and help both economy and society. Furthermore it would undo much of the hurt unfairly forced onto those correctly positioned in the stock market . Home prices could go down and would enable the middle class a chance to live a better life.

You all are a bunch of morons. First of all, who is gonna protect Saudi ASSets when Iran, ISIS, China or Russia decides they might want their oil? Nothing else there, but salt and sand. As far as them selling $750 Billion is assets; China has sold that amount or approaching that in the last year to keep the Yuan from collapsing and we have lower long term rates and a stronger dollar. Let them sink. As far as the 19T in debt; a good portion is owed to the Federal Reserve and I am sure could simply extinguish it if times got real tough. Only about 3-4 trillion is owed to foreign countries. Japan surpassed China for awhile recently in ownership. Fuck those Asian countries.
People also forget we have the largest and most modern nuke stockpile. When you are the mobster on the block with the biggest gun- who is gonna piss you off? Our problem is pussy leaders that don’t put these 3rd world countries in their proper subordinate places. The dumb comment about unfunded 250t liabilities are items that are paid out as we go, not like they are due at this minute.

9/11 was planned, orchestrated, and carried out by the Texas war/oil industrial complex, with Saudi backing and fall guys. Trace the money trail over the last 14 years, it leads back to Saudi Arabia and the evil state of Texas.
Those that believe the government was honest about 9/11 all along are fools. When have you ever known the government to be honest about anything? Why did they cover all of this up for the
last 14 years? Why are the Saudis now afraid for the truth to come out about their involvement in 9/11? It’s because it would expose so many Texas oil/war terrorists, as well.
