    A US Dollar conspiracy theory?
    Global Research, February 4, 2009 Russia Today - 2009-01-30
    While the world economy collapses the American dollar continues to strengthen its position in the world, to little wonder – it’s getting back to its basics as the backup currency on every continent except Antarctica.
    Yet since the U.S. has debts two times exceeding the world’s GDP one cannot help but ask oneself – what’s next?
    The web is flooded with lots of theories and rumours about what (…)

    American leadership is good for America and for the world.”
    So reads the introduction to the Project For The New American Century (PNAC), perhaps the most important document ever ignored by so many impacted millions-the neocon blueprint for American “full-spectrum domination” of the world. “Benign global hegemony” is their tender euphemism for it, and the hegemony business is not going as planned.

    They’re back. The winter session of the state legislature is upon us. Bills have been presented, in both Senate (SB831) and House (HB1320) before the opening session, to re-introduce the nuclear power business to Oklahoma. This will, if the sponsor and his backers prevail, bring jobs and cancer to our state.
    We’ve got a problem. We humans interpret the world and have survived by our five senses of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. They have served us well; they guide our (…)

    The daily bleeding of thousands of jobs will soon turn our economic crisis into a political crisis. The street protests, strikes and riots that have rattled France, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Iceland will descend on us. It is only a matter of time. And not much time. When things start to go sour, when Barack Obama is exposed as a mortal waving a sword at a tidal wave, the United States could plunge into a long period of precarious (…)
