WW3 Countdown | China Moves Against The Dollar

Wars rarely come as a surprise to those in power Almost without exception the period leading up to a physical conflict is marked by economic warfare and strategic maneuvering. In public school we aren't taught this side of history because public schools are runned by the state and the state has invested interests in having a population that accepts official explainations without question. Right now the groundwork is being laid for a war between the United States and a block of resisting nations. Among these nations are China, Russia, North Korea, Syria, and Iran. This lead up has past unnoticed by most of the population for two reasons: 1: The mainstream media and the U.S. government intentionally obscure the geopolitical context of the events unfolding right now and 2. This staging of conflicts is comprised of an array of proxy wars which will have secondary consequences that can only be anticipated if one has a firm grasp of the strategic importance of the regions in question. Unfortunately we live in a time when much of the public is incapable of even finding countries like Iran or Syria on a map. The reason the nation's wishing to instigate a war and make use of proxy wars and other forms of provocation rather than attacking directly is largely psychological. When a government wants to take it's people to war they need the public to be caught by surprise when the situation escalates. This is a shock when an unexpected attack creates the climate needed for an outright war and this is only possible when lead up to the crisis passes undetected. In these past months we've seen an escalation in the tensions between the United States and North Korea largely driven by the U.S. led sanctions and a series of military exercises conducted by the U.S. and south Korean militaries. These drills which have been labelled "Foal Eagle" simulating nuclear strikes and rehearsed coordinated attacks on the North. This in itself is an escalation, but the tensions were further hightened by the signing of a new mutual defense treaty between the United States and South Korea that significantly lowers the threshold requiered for the U.S. to militarily engage North Korea. North Korea posses no real threat to the U.S. but if Pyongyang can be lured into a fight China will be directly affected. This is no triffling matter considering that China has a mutal defense agreement with North Korea and has enough nuclear weapons to make North America uninhabitable. This particular crisis with Korea is but one of many provocative measures that the U.S. has taken against China in recent years. Others include plans which were released in the NDAA in 2013 to target China's military tunnels with nuclear weapons and a general policy of military encirclement in southeast Asia. But why would the U.S. pick a fight with China? why would any one in their right mind provoke a nuclear power like this? The answer to that question is the same answer you'll find when you look into the real causes of the wars in the middle east and that's currency. The dollar is the world reserve currency but more importantly oil is only sold in U.S. dollars. This petrodollar arrangement has been enforced since the early seventies and the United States has a track record of toppling any country that attempts to organize against it. The reason for this is simple, the only thing giving the dollar value is the artificial demand created by this monopoly once the petrodollar dies, the dollar dies and when this happens the world is going to be turned on it's head overnight. United States took down Irak when it started selling it's oil in Euros and it took down Libya when Gaddafi started organizing african countries to set up a gold based currency called the dinar. These were militarily weak nations with no nuclear weapons, but now China is moving to attack the dollar and this is a game changer. China is not of course not announcing it's attack as such it's moves have been quiet and subtle but the indications are clear. The most recent move came up this past months when China and Australia announced that they were going to be moving off the dollar for their bilateral trade. In 2010 China and Russia made the same agreement followed by China and Japan in 2011 and China and Iran at one time made an arrangement that allows them bypass the dollar entirely by exchanging Chinese consumer goods for oil. To top it all off, the BRICS nations which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa have just announced in March that they're going to launch a new global development bank which will compete with the IMF and the world bank. Furthermore China has been buying up massive quantities of gold and taking steps to internationalize the yuan leading the speculation that they maybe planning the transition to the gold standard. These moves have massive implications. China is chipping away at the dollar piece by piece, but the mainstream media isn't taking about it, the politicians aren't talking about it. And the reason is simple, if the public were to understand the petrodollar they would understand that there is no war on terrorism there's only a war for control of the world financial system. All this talk we're seeing right now of a red line supposedly crossed in Syria is part of the same game. It's proxy war to provoke Syria's closest ally Iran. PATRICK CLAWSON: I frankly think that crisis initiation is really tough. And it's very hard for me to see how the United States president can get us to war with Iran. In which leads me to conclude that if in fact compromise is not coming, that the traditional way America gets to war is what would be best for U.S. interests. Some people might think that Mr. Roosevelt wanted to get us into World War II, as David mentioned, you may recall we had to wait for Pearl Harbor. Some people might think Mr. Wilson wanted to get us into World War I, you may recall we had to wait for the Lusitania episode. Some people might think that Mr. Johnson wanted to send troops to Vietnam, you may recall we had to wait for the Gulf of Tonkin episode. We didn’t go to war with Spain until the USS Maine exploded. And may I point out that Mr. Lincoln did not feel he could call out the Federal Army until Fort Sumter was attacked, which is why he ordered the commander of Fort Sumter to do exactly that thing which the South Carolineans had said would cause an attack. So if in fact the Iranians aren’t going to compromise, it would be best if somebody else started the war. One can combine other means of pressure with sanctions. I mentioned that explosion on August 17th. We could step up the pressure. I mean look people, Iranian submarines periodically go down, some day one of them might not come up who would know why? We could do a variety of things if we wish to to increase the pressure. I’m not advocating that, but I’m just suggesting that this is not an either or proposition, you know it’s just sanctions have to succeed or it’s other things. We are in the games of using covert means against the Iranians. We could get nastier.
