Erratum – Fw: The Empty Tank: Why The US is Desperate. Oil Grab a sign of weakness, will accelerate fall of the Dollar

Writes Bill Madenn:
The referenced link will provide another and possibly the most accurate explanation of one more American regime change on behalf of the major owners of Corporate America, our super-rich rulers.
We always have some B.S. rationale for ousting “dictators” in countries that have denied Corporate America access to their abundant and cheap (thanks to our targeted foreign aid going to the dictators before they raise their prices) natural resources. It is normally that our large corporations have been kicked out of a country or the new leadership like in Venezuela is planning to sell their oil in other than the fiat American dollar. This last action reduces demand for dollars and, therefore, its value. Please remember what Voltaire said about fiat currencies – they always return to their intrinsic value of zero.
We are a police state at home where our fiat dollar is unconstitutional, our First Amendment is quickly vanishing, our last president refused to protect our borders and, therefore, our sovereignty, our current president threatens the few honest Washington politicians for insisting on constitutional governance and the implementation of his campaign promises, etc. Internationally, we are the Policeman to the World. Both forms of oppression facilitate the transfer of wealth from the people to our controllers. This all transpires because We the People allow it. We are responsible for every political thing that our elected representatives do.
