This is IMPORTANT!! You MUST listen to me!!!
A little over a year ago I sent you something that I put out over ‘the internets’.
(
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1431747 )
I sent you an explanation of why it was we had to invade Iraq, why the administration had to manufacture ‘evidence’ to market the initiative, and what would probably happen next. I think I might have also mentioned just how incompetent the administration did not realize it really was.
I told you about ‘reserve currency’ and how oil has always been traded in US dollars. I explained that we invaded Iraq for, among other reasons, Saddam’s intention to sell oil for Euros at the lifting of sanctions. I explained what could happen to our economy if that had happened.
And I definitely said it was OUR FAULT because of the complacency of Americans and their unwillingness to make sacrifices in our devotion to ‘entitlement’.
Well, we’re about to reap the poison fruits of our decadence.
I told you, in that message, that we would have to invade Iran next to prevent them from doing what Iraq would have had we not invaded.
-That was before the rhetoric began to build.
-That was before we started making overtures beyond the casual mention of Iran as a “terrorist state”
-That was before Iran ever announced the advent of an ‘Oil Bourse’ WITH THE INTENTION OF TRADING OIL IN EUROS.
And now it’s happening.
It’s all downhill from here.
And yes, I have personal solutions for us which I will describe later.
Wearing the Republican mantle, a gang of unaccountable despots has usurped control of America’s vast military and economic resources by garnering the support of people who have placed their faith in that very mantle despite the wearer.
First, here’s what’s going to happen;
The dollar, already having begun its inexorable decline, is about to have the bottom fall out.
I have had conversations with Warren Buffet himself, as well as past policy-makers and current political scientists who engage people in online conversation… and he, among others, have confirmed my projections.
The failure of the dollar will see energy prices soar beyond where they are. This will cripple American manufacturing (already in dire straights) for a period of time before the weak dollar could possibly help re-balance the trade deficit.
Even that re-balancing may not come to pass as the economies of the world suffer the loss of American consumerism.
Because of this projection, it is likely that the Administration, already in ‘pre-invasion’ mode, might try to implicate Iran in a ‘terrorist plot’ in order to justify an invasion. Think that’s crazy? These are DESPERATE TIMES and I have GREAT reason to fear that there might even be a ‘staged attack’, or ‘false flag operation’ on American soil to garner all the national support necessary to invade.
Yes, you once told me that “Most conspiracy theories have been proven wrong”, but I’ve done my research… everywhere… and found that to be patently untrue. The evidence that would ‘prove them wrong’ is in absence quite deliberately. It ain’t there. But that is not important right now. What is important is to understand the stakes involved and then consider the resources that the major players have at their disposal to effect their will. That way there will be no surprises as we see what unfolds.
So we will, for whatever reason, invade Iran- this time without nearly as much ‘justification’ as we fabricated for Iraq. And this time there will likely be nukes… and an international community, buttressed by Russia, China, and the whole of the European Union (not to mention others) aligned AGAINST US.
The main reason I’m writing to you now is simply to say that the dollar is about to fail. China will NOT continue to support our deficits if we let this failed administration try to follow through on an already doomed agenda.
I am currently doing whatever I can to place what little resources we have into the few things that will hold steady through this decline.
I could go into excruciating details, but I’ll just state that those are, for the foreseeable future;
-Gold
-Oil
-Euros
See that you have holdings in these, for most other things will be swept away in the coming shitstorm.
I know that father has very little faith in me as he so routinely and unwittingly demonstrates. If you feel that you must bring this to his attention, then so be it. But I know the difference between rational and reflexive skepticism… I deal with it daily on the ‘net. I expect his to be more the latter.
This is not intended to cause a panic. It is merely to give pause for a broader re-assessment of our circumstances in the face of what may very well be the greatest crisis since the Great Depression. Perhaps even that was a picnic compared to what we face now.
By all means I hope that I am crazy. I pray daily that I am wrong. But I have spent countless hours and sleepless nights studying all perspectives regarding this issue… and the outlook is grim.
It is in the hope that I may have missed something that I am sending this, in context, to a few of our close relatives. And failing my hopes; that they may all see fit to investigate this situation and devise contingencies of their own.
The Project for a New American Century has failed miserably at the hands of a few elite zealots who have never truly understood the consequences of their actions… for they, like many elite politicians, have never had to face such consequences.
May God bless us all.
