It is aptly named because its a GLOBAL fraud. A tiny group of multi-billionaires and the criminal gang called "government" in China have benefited.

Even Rome fell. Even the Third Reich was defeated decisively and many high ranking Nazis were hanged. Goring, perhaps closest to Hitler, took the coward's way out and cheated the hang man. <BR/><BR/>Bush and his equally venal, equally ruthless, equally deluded, equally evil henchmen think themselves smarter than Nazis. Not so! The Bush gang are stupid! The average IQ of the top echelon Nazi war criminals was tested by Dr. Gustav Gilbert at Nuremberg. The highest IQ was that of Hjalmar Schacht at 143. Most were 120 to 130 or so. <BR/><BR/>I doubt Bush's IQ is above 100 and no one else in that administration impresses one at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-83429182477682970762007-09-28T20:52:00.000-07:002007-09-28T20:52:00.000-07:00Arturdecco, I really believe, when the economy goe...Arturdecco, I really believe, when the economy goes completely South, it will happen.

It was the Sr Bush, I believe, who said that if the people knew or understood what they had done, the people would hunt them down and lynch them.

So true, at times in life we tend to forget those powerful words, be happy!<BR/><BR/>Recently, I understood for the first time, what our Government has been doing since, 1971-73, in 1971 the Middle Eastern oil producing Countries, started receiving pymt. for their oil in dollars. I believe it was 1973, that was our first year of deficit spending. I'm going from memory. What the government started doing was buying more of our products from other Nations, no longer producing and being and equal trading partner with the rest of the world.Those dollars were then used by other Nations to buy oil for their Countries needs, never returning to our Country, for products made in this Country.<BR/><BR/>Now, in 2000 Iraq went off using dollars for the purchase of oil. Our dollar declined. One of Bush's main reason for going into to War with Iraq. Wanting to prevent other Countries from doing the same, while bringing back the value of the dollar. Bush, always having the fear that the oil producing Countries would now use the euro, and we would have a flood of dollars returning to our Country, for goods, which we don't sell any more. Remember, our manufacturing base is gone, thanks to Reagan. <BR/><BR/>Now, in 2003, Iran decides to use the euros in place of the dollar, weakening further the dollar and raising further concerns, of the day when the oil producing Countries no longer accept dollars and switch to euros.Now, the very real threat of War with Iran. <BR/><BR/>As, Len, states these Countries hate Bush, and who knows when the oil producing Countries, will switch to Euros and release the floodgate of dollars back to our Country, with payment due, written all over them!Diane Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709680778603784433noreply@blogger.com
