Reply #109: One small kink in your logic

[Caretha]

I believe in "the following the money" theory also, but here are a few ingredients I believe you have not considered:

The treasury has been looted....
The American people are all "credited out"...
The Iraq war hasn't worked so far in terms of preventing oil being sold in Euros...
And when the US housing bubble bursts (and it will) the house of cards comes tumbling down.

This means no more profits for the big boys.

I'm being very abbreviated in my description of the whole mess, but let's look at it like this.

When the PNAC gang took their Power Point presentation to "the Big Boys" to sell them on "why they should be in power", their (the PNAC Gang) vision was so narrow, they didn't have much of a back-up plan in case they failed in securing and controlling the oil currency. (Probably part of their back-up plan included grabbing as much blackmail info on power players as they could).

The "Big Boys" (think of them as the bankers) aren't/weren't so vision impaired, and like any good banker secured collateral. In other words, they knew they would make a butt load of money (collateral) in the beginning and could with hold their support in the end if all didn't work out in the vision presented by the PNAC gang.

I've often wondered, while protesting the machinations of this cabal, if the US wouldn't be better off in the future if they succeeded in their nefarious plans. As long as the oil currency remains in US $, a steep and unprecedented depression might be able to be held off until some new balance can come into the equation to make it comparably milder.

If not, the ride is liable to be wild.
