Anyone threatening US petrodollar is public enemy No.1

Last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, said at the celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall last weekend that we are facing a new Cold War. What are the geopolitical realities behind this statement?

 

This weekend I was invited onto RT to do an interview about the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, particularly focusing on the speech delivered by the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, during his visit to Berlin.

 

I would like to expand on some of the topics I mentioned - how to encapsulate an alternative geopolitical perspective different from the Western orthodoxy in under four minutes? A task even Monty Python would find challenging!

 

The first issue was Gorbachev's comments about a new Cold War. I would agree, and this is being fabricated by the USA, as that country always needs an Emmanuel Goldstein figure to justify its military-industrial complex that is bankrupting the country and brutalizing the world, while enriching the US oligarchs to the detriment of civil society everywhere.

 

The first front line in this new Cold War is the internet. In the 1990s the USA had a golden opportunity - in fact a perfect storm of opportunities. It was the last superpower left standing in a newly unipolar world, history had officially ended and capitalism had triumphed. The Soviet Union had disintegrated and the newly shorn Russia was tottering, its vast national wealth being assiduously asset-stripped by the globalised neocon elite.

 

Plus, the new world wide web was exponentially growing and the key pioneers were predominantly American companies. After an initially panicked phase of playing catch-up in the 1990s, western spy agencies saw the potential for total mastery of the internet, creating a surveillance panopticon that the KGB or the Stasi could only have fantasized about. With thanks to Edward Snowden, we are now beginning to get glimpses of the full horror of the surveillance under which we all now live.

 

But it is not all down to the NSA.Building on the old Echelon model, which was so nearly overthrown in Europe back in July 2001, the NSA has suborned, bought and prostituted other western intelligence agencies across Europe to do its bidding.Germany, at the nexus of east and west Europe, remains a front line in this battle, with the BND possibly working unconstitutionally to do the NSA's bidding, even apparently to the detriment of its own national interest. The politicians (some) and hacktivists (many) are fighting back.

 

But it is the geographical boundaries that have shifted most significantly since the fall of the Wall. Here I need to credit former senior CIA officer, presidential advisor, and current peace activist Ray McGovern, for all the useful information he provided during his various talks and interviews across Europe a couple of months ago.

 

Ray, a fluent Russian speaker, worked as a Soviet expert for much of his career in the CIA. As such he was privy to the behind-the-scenes negotiating that occurred after the fall of the Wall.When this happened the USA pushed for German reunification but was worried about the 260,000 Soviet troops stationed in the former GDR. They cut a deal with Gorbachev, stating that NATO would not move "one inch" further than Germany after reunification. This the Soviets accepted, and withdrew their troops.

 

Well, we all know what has happened since. NATO has expanded east at an amazing rate, now encompassing a further 12 eastern European countries including the Baltic States and Poland, which the US has used as a base for an increasing number of "defensive" missile systems. In 2008 NATO also issued a declaration that Georgia and Ukraine would be welcome to join, taking the front line up to the borders of Russia. Coincidentally, both these countries in recent years have been portrayed as the victims of "Russian expansionism."

Russia Prepares to Challenge Dollar by Creating Alternative SWIFT System in 2015

By Kenneth Schortgen Jr

Date: 12th November 2014

Source: Examiner

 

On Nov. 11, just days after announcing the un-pegging of the Rouble and allowing its free float in the global currency system, Russia is going after the heart of the dollar and the reserve currency by declaring that they will create an alternative SWIFT system that will compete with the Western based inter-bank messaging service. This action by Russia is tied directly to the ongoing sanctions imposed upon them by the U.S. over Ukraine, and will allow the Eurasian state to remove one of the weaknesses to their monetary system that Washington is using as a weapon to restrict Russia's ability to use its currency in banking transactions.

 

SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, and is the world's central nexus for nearly all global currency transactions between banks and nation states. It's software and function is to document, validate, and route currency transactions between registered banks, allowing smooth transitions between economies and markets no matter the differentiation in currency values.

 

As the Western SWIFT system is the primary facility used by the dollar and global reserve currency, the U.S. has vast control over the global monetary system. In fact, it is this control that has lead SWIFT to be used as an economic weapon through differing levels of sanctions now, and in the past, as seen in recent years in countries like Iran and now Russia to limit their ability to perform global banking transactions with their own domestic currencies.

 

 

“A Central Bank official said Tuesday (11th Nov) that

the regulator will finish building its alternative to the SWIFT inter-bank

messaging service, a key element in Russia's plans

to diminish foreign influence over its financial system,

by the end of May next year.

 

The Central Bank will begin providing messaging services to certain banks

as early as December this year, added Ramilya Kanafina,

deputy director of the Central Bank's national payment system department,

Interfax reported.

 

The European Parliament in September proposed cutting Russia off

from the SWIFT system in an effort to pressure the Kremlin

over its foreign policy toward Ukraine, sparking an initiative

within Russia to create an alternative system."

- Moscow Times

Russia's move to create an alternative to SWIFT is just another step in lessening U.S. hegemony and control over the global financial system, and in building the necessary infrastructure to place Eurasia and the Far East on an even playing field to the long-standing dominion by the West over banking and trade. Russia has already created a competitor to the petro-dollar by earlier this year announcing they will begin selling oil and natural gas in both the Rouble and the Yuan, and the creation of an alternative SWIFT system will prepare the way for the Chinese currency to directly compete with, or perhaps overtake, the current reserve currency in the future.

 

While U.S. sanctions against Russia, its currency, and its banking system have caused severe turmoil in the Rouble and the economy, it has also forced both China and Russia to accelerate their plans to divest themselves from the West, and to create an alternative financial system that provides other nation's a choice in how they transact monetary policies. And with recent agreements signed between China and several other nations that include Canada, America's hold over countries through their ability to use the dollar and the banking system as means of economic and financial sanctions becomes less and less a threat each passing day.

 

 

 

 

Congress Passes Nazi-Style Propaganda Resolution Against Russia

By Kenneth Schortgen Jr

Date: 5th December 2014

Source: Examiner

 

On Dec. 4, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution on the floor condemning Russia for what Congress deemed as actions of aggression against the neighboring states of Moldova, Georgia, and primarily Ukraine through their use of economic, political, and military warfare. The resolution passed by a vote of 411-10 and signifies just how strongly U.S. propaganda has come in the legislative body, and harkens back to the days just prior to the invasion of Iraq where President Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction being held by Saddam Hussein, and even to 1939 when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party lied about a Polish insurgency into Germany to justify that invasion and the beginning of World War II....

 

In response to this resolution being passed by the House on Thursday, the former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, was interviewed to discuss his views on why Congress would suddenly condemn Russia on the floor of the House, and for what purpose does it provide to U.S. foreign policy?

 

 

"RT: The US has been building up its rhetoric against Russia in the past number of months, so is this resolution really a surprise to you?

 

Paul Craig Roberts: No, it was long expected.

 

Russia needs to understand

that the United States has an ideology of world hegemony

and does not accept any prospect of any country

being sovereign or acting on its own.

You have to be an American vassal state.

Just as the United States has turned

all of Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan

into vassal states that is the only terms on which

the United States can accept Russia and China.

It will not accept them as sovereign, independent countries

following their own interests.

 

The demonization of Russia’s leader

and the country will continue.

The situation will become more and more hostile.

It’s not going to go away,

because the United States is guided

by the neo conservative ideology

of American world hegemony

and that means hegemony over Russia and China.

- Russia Today

Dr. Roberts later goes on to say that this direct attack against Russia began back in 2013 when the Eurasian power chose to aid Syria and Bashir Assad to protect their interests in a new pipeline that would bring oil and natural gas to Europe, and for their port agreements in Tartus.

 

However, the real objective at stake in this resolution is the absolute protection of the petro-dollar, which has been the catalyst for nearly all U.S. funded or armed invasions since 2003. Beginning with the invasion of Iraq, which stemmed from Saddam Hussein six months prior changing his economic policy for oil sales to allow energy transactions to be made in euros and not just dollars, started a systematic plan to invade or overthrow upwards of seven Middle Eastern states, which was validated by retired General Wesley Clark years later....

WW3 already started in the middle east.

And what kind of bullshit is this?

From what I gathered, Syria refused to let the pipeline coming from Qatar to pass by Syria. Which is one of the reason why this whole shit happened.

Ummm...Nazis didn't "pass resolutions", they sent two dozen Wehrmacht divisions if they wanted to express their dissatisfaction with something. Somebody in fact did something similar to that in Ukraine recently, but I don't recall seeing any US logos on the equipment.

 

"Russia Today" is a Putin propaganda mouthpiece.  Understand the source before reading.

I dislike the US when it behaves like this. Not every country on earth want to be a tribute nation to the USA.

 

I support the move by Russia. I may dislike Russia for many of it's government's stances on things like LGBT rights, but the USA stil has too much control over the earth. It shouldn't have been able to fine BNP Paribas last year by such a high amount, while fining US companies so little.

 

I support the Euro or some other currency becoming the new 'dollar' or at least working along side it. Having two or three reserve currencies continously battling each other would be the best situation imo.

Qatar approached Syria in 2009 to build the North Field pipeline through Syria, to Turkey and to the EU. Always obsessed with the EU. Assad refused. He would rather have it go to Russia and China instead. The deal did not move forward because neither could find common grounds.

In Summer 2011, Syria put forth a proposal for a Iran-Iraq-Syria(-Lebanon) pipeline. That would economically strengthen the predominantly Shi'ite region. There will be gas transits to Greece and elsewhere in Europe, but it will exclude Qatar. It's considered a 'fragment' of the Eurasian pipeline.

Qatar had no knowing of this agreement nor was it aware that Syria had natural gas until Assad made the announcement after the signing the agreement. This rattled Qatar's cage. Syria was set to become the center of the production and assembly.

Qatar is now heavily involved in the destabilization of Syria and is financing Al Qaeda terrorists along with Saudi Arabia and America. ISIS is the off-spring of Al Qaeda whose primary focus is to rid Shi'ite 'infidels', and then every other religion, other that Sunnis. [May they go to hell]

 

In 2013, Iraq unexpectedly gave the green light to go ahead with the project which Russia is supporting hence why it immediately increased its arms-supply to Assad to defeat the rebels at the time.

'Russia Today' may be a reflection of the Russian narrative, but I don't agree that it should to be dubbed propaganda immediately because it is Russia Today.

It's implying that if it was Any-other-country Today then it would be considered a reliable source.

Truthfully, I don't agree with that. Remove the source, and guess what? The American history remains the same; we've seen it time and time again that whenever a country moves away from the petrodollar by shifting its currency to gold, the consequences are always grave.

 

To be frank, I loathe the hostility used towards the word NAZI. I can understand why it is, but from my observation those who approve and support this illegal 10-years-old war that has adopted a lot of the facets of the influential movement that we know as Nazism, are the people who immediately retreat and denounce Nazism itself. I don't get it.

In October this year, reports revealed (or re-revealing after approx. fours decades) that America has been recruiting thousands of Nazis as cold war 'assets'. The most terrifying is that of Otto von Bolschwing who wrote papers for America on how to terrorize Jews. What are the chanced that those papers would not be used and put into practice against non-Jews? No chance. If it is America getting it's way, it will do with force.

The truth is, America today has significantly outperformed Russia's Nazi-like behaviour.

 

While we can depict Putin as a Devil for many reason, Obama is no Angel.

Deploying American military on the doors on Russia under no legitimate pretext is illegal under international law. The legislation released should have justified their presence, instead not a single proof to back any claim was forwarded. It is just a series of instructions of what has to happen. Worryingly, it has been passed.

Back to the article, 'Nazi-style' does not refer to Nazis passing resolutions (nor does it imply that Nazis did so), but it refers to the content of the American resolution. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to address the contents of the 16-page document because we are currently on a way to war with the only true nuclear threat that America has set as target on since embarking on the "War Against* Terror".

 

As much as I find Ron Paul annoying at times, he does make some valid points in 'Reckless Congress Declares War On Russia'

The articles are as transparent as the OP, so it's hard to take them seriously.

 

I don't even care about the US, but thinking Russia will do something different and/or better is downright hilarious.

You resumed perfectly.

Which is why the moment the US went to Syria to "fight against terrorism", the FIRST thing they shot were the gas locations.

Fuck them all.

I tried to shorten the reply because it was a lot to explain but I would recommend doing further reading on it. It's very interesting.

 

I cannot remember the first locations targeted. I'm just expecting Homs to be one of them. That is the only location that I am aware of that has natural gas.

Oh the 'I don't even care about the US' that is missing the 'but I always make the effort to show up on as many American-related topics as I can like I am right now', what about it?

"American related threads" you mean +90% of the threads in the news section?  :rolleyes: Might as well not even post anywhere here then  

You still managed to ignore the relevant part yet again (congrats, it must be some kind of talent).

Anyway, keep on doing what you're doing. Your threads are always "amusing".

Oh mgl, could you not have tried any harder?

From one irony to the next; you childishly whine about the 'relevant part' in your comment being ignored, when there is nothing relevant about it to the content of the opening post because you're the one who ignored it.

"It must be some kind of talent" being a persistent pitiful fool.

 

Just leave this thread.

Damn what a shame. If you were any denser, you'd turn into a black hole and swallow the whole galaxy.

Maybe I didnt make myself clear but I actually know quite a lot about it XD but Ive never heard of Europe supporting the syrian regime for the syrian pipelines (the european support was the same as their support to Libya aka a fucking joke).

 

The gaz mines that got exploded first were the ones at Deir Ezzor. There is gaz in Homs as well.

Apparently around Damascus in the mountains there is gaz but it wasnt accomodated for extraction.

 

A whole country got wiped out with its millenium history, 1 million dead and 10 million immigrated, because of gaz and money. I hate humanity. Its time we came to an end.

The US just wants every other country to be a vassal so that they can keep the UFO phenomenon a secret so they can keep profiting off the technology. If Russia or China or Austria or somebody goes public with where all these "technological breakthroughs" and innovations that keep happen by US Corporations if would be anarchy.
