The times are changing. More countries are becoming more influential and gaining a bigger say in what is going on in the world. Many of these countries would like to see the dollar’s grip loosened.

Can hardly blame them. “Let’s tear America down” has been their motto.

They don't have to hold Dollar reserves. They could hold Yuan reserves if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

Based on the rates of gold and silver, even Americans are converting their dollars into physical commodities.

Close our borders. Let us become completely self-sufficient...there’s not a darn thing in this country that we need that we can’t produce for ourselves! We feed h alf the world and we give them our TREASURE on a daily basis in the form of aid...down a rat hole or into a dictators pocket in MOST cases! Grrrr!

Granted, our BOGUS ‘standard of living’ might be slightly reduced and we won’t have cheap stuff from overseas, but we’ll have good quality American-Made items that will last a generation!

And I’ll bet you a homemade donut that Americans wouldn’t even REMOTELY notice. *Rolleyes*

Man, when I run this Country, there are gonna be some mighty BIG changes, LOL!

The times are changing.

Not by accident either. This is all intentional, and aided and abetted by our own so called leadership in the past 15 years or so...

The plan is to lower our standard of living while raising the standard of other countries, eliminate our sovereignty and borders, and eventually creating a world socialist government, where several hundred or so super wealthy and political insiders basically control the entire planet.

It's all about total control and total power over *everything*.

What are they worried about? When Zero runs out of money he can print IOU’s, just like Kalifornia. Wouldn't they be happy to take IOU’s from God - Obamadollars???

Sarkozy calls for talks on dollar

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2289842/posts

French President Nicolas Sarkozy called for a revamp of the global currency system, saying Thursday that the dollar's supremacy is outdated.

“We need to ask the question: shouldn't a world that is politically multi-polar correspond to a multi-monetary world economically?” he said in a news conference during a summit of world leaders in L’Aquila, Italy.

Given that India purchased a further US$38 billion in American Treasuries last year, more than doubling its exposure, doesn’t this sound more like a token attempt at “solidarity” with the other BRICs?

A new economic order without the greenback’s dominance.
