    Default Something just doesn't smell quite right!

    I'm sure most of you think I'm nuts already so I've nothing to lose here. Last night during my connect the dots search I had a moment where some things became clear. What if the crisis in the Middle East had been carefully engineered ? The price of oil could be driven up to $200.00 a barrel. Once this price is achieved, the US Dollar can be collapsed. As the worlds reserve currency, anyone holding the greenback would go down the toilet...All the ME tinpot dictators would be ruined and the rest of the world would be in chaos. Social unrest would reach a boiling point and the lid would blow off the proverbial pot! People will be very ready for a solution which the powers that be would usher in as "One World Government!" and a new world currency would then be installed. Far fetched?...Maybe. However, one look at the players in the G20 meetings suggests to me that the idea may not be far of course. Twenty of the world's largest developed nations attend this meeting sending their top central bankers and finance ministers. Then they are addressed by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and UN and the like. In my book, the WB, IMF, UN are all carefully arranged precursors of the "One World Government" machine. The US has been sitting on vast untapped oil reserves and once the chaos hits and the price of oil has reached the new high they could turn on the taps and command a lion's share of the new currency. If you look at China's recent behavior with the Yuan you sort of get the notion that they are getting ready for this scenario. Of course I need to do way more research to solidify this idea and over the next few days I'll be doing just that! All of the above at this stage is pure speculation arising from trying to connect the dots. The ME crisis to me looks fishy to say the least and I for one think something is up!

    With all the "masons" in the Europe, and they can barely keep the Euros as currency, because Italy, Spain, Germany and few other countries wanna go back to their currency. So, even in that "evil" society where they try to rule the world is not perfect, and not everything goes perfect.

    The US needs to do something before Europe is successful in their attempts to convert their oil purchases to the Euro. There are billions of US dollars floating around that would be cashed in that the US can't cover. Can a country declare bankrupcy? Without the leverage of the US dollars that China holds the hammer they presently wave would come crashing down. Too scary to even think of the consequenses.

    Here's a scary thought...during the first interview I thought Charlie was crazy. I've seen a couple since and he seems to be getting better. Is he coming back to earth?

    PS The IMF is no better than the UN. Fine if you're a relative of some third world country looking for free money to pad your family bank account but little other use.

    I'm still digging around on this one and it's a VERY complex issue. So far, from what I can tell, we are in for a very bad ride in the next while but I've many more facts to check One thing seems certain however, Oil prices will NOT be going down...Indeed they will continue to climb until they hit $150 or $200.00 a barrel and if this isn't being engineered, I'll eat my hat! Somebody please remind me why I should have any respect for Henry Kissenger
