Having the CIA overthrow a South American government is really just a rite of passage for a US president.

Was this the real reason Saddam was targeted? Threatening to challenge the primacy of the USD as the world’s reserve currency?





Khadaffi likewise planned to quit selling Libyan oil in U.S. dollars, demanding payment instead in gold-backed “dinars” — a single pan-African currency backed by gold. Khaddiffi, sitting on a massive stockpile of gold, estimated at close to 150 tons, was also pushing other African and Middle Eastern governments to join together to create an alternative to the PetroDollar system.

This isn’t a kooky, tin-foil nutter, conspiracy theory. The plot to thwart Khaddafi’s attempt to create an alternate currency to challenge the PetroDollar and likewise the revelation that the Beghnazi Consulate was used as diplomatic cover for a weapons running scheme comes from Hillary’s emails.

The Petrodollar Pact with Saudi Arabia is the primary reason the U.S. dollar is accepted as the world’s reserve currency. Yet our nation’s print-on-demand — i.e. inflationary — monetary system is dependent upon currency manipulation and even violent coercion to insure it remains the world’s reserve currency.

While a brilliant piece of political statecraft in it’s day, the Petrodollar has been a disaster for the U.S. economically and militarily since at least the end of the Cold War. The current crisis continues until our nation returns to sound monetary policies and abandons this print-on-demand currency that is propped up by the corrupt Petrodollar pact.
