It's All About Money
It's the colour and amount of ones money that matters. What's your old Iraqi Dinar worth today? How much of your assets today are valued in US dollars? Are you shifting some of that to Euros, Yen, Sterling, Swiss Francs or Chinese Renminbi?

If there is an endless supply of US Dollars, how would they be circulated? Simple economics, create new markets, sell them your goods services and get paid in your own currency, creating further demand hence keeping its value up with a well managed supply of green paper.

Who remembers Iraq pricing its oil in Euros back in 2000? Iran and Venezuela took this seriously too and started discussions with other OPEC members, and even the Saudis started thinking about it. Now that scared quite a few people in the US, and by that time, a confrontational stance was in motion.

The war on Iraq goes beyond Middle Eastern geopolitics or oil, it's about the colour of money and not skin, it's about the rich controlling the poor, it's always been and will always be that way.

Just ask yourself, who's pictures were printed on old Roman gold coins? And how far from Rome were these coins found? The difference between now and then is that now we have our money printed on paper and not gold, and its supply is no longer dependent on our gold reserves.

Today, American shares represent close to half of the market capitalisation of the world’s stock markets, and the dollar is the reserve currency of reference. It's savage capitalism and the world is "managed" by it.

And in that money therein lies power.

It's all about power.....
