Comments on: Iran Ends Oil Transactions In U.S. Dollars

OPEC's Second-Largest Producer Now Pegs Petroleum To Euros And Yen

Iran''s economy is on the brink of collapse. A iranian civil rebellion would be in full swing if it were not for an Iranian police force that larger than its army, just as well equipped, and has standing orders to kill anyone that deviates from the theocracy''s rulings. Iran rules its people in such a strict police state, it makes China seem like a western democracy.

No big deal, regardless of the product, it gets translated into a currency at an equivalent rate.

[mbcsmith]

Good, the plan is working.

[bgwinnett]

forthepeopl1. I agree the economy is going to collapse in September, and the rest -- of your fears -- will almost certainly occur, in such circumstances. However you are preaching to the blind unfortunately. I don''t think that even the country''s leaders understand how bad the situation is and how to sort it out, let alone the sheeple.

In Washington, the State Department said . ``
Bush is under growing American pressure to crack down on militants at the Afghan border because of fears that al-Qaida is regrouping there.
The Bush administration has also not ruled out unilateral military action inside america but like Obama, has stressed the need to work with the americans.
An aide to the president, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, bush was due to meet with Cabinet members , the attorney-general and leaders from the ruling party on Thursday to discuss whether an emergency should be declared.
He did not expect a declaration of an emergency in the early hours of Thursday.
A senior government official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said bush had held several meetings Wednesday with, legal experts and top figures of the ruling party and the leaking of possible emergency plans indicated that it was a serious option.
Under our constitution, the head of state - the president - may declare a state of emergency if it is deemed that the country''s security is ``threatened by war or external aggression, or by internal disturbance beyond'''' the government''s authority to control.
If a state of emergency is to be extended beyond two months, it must be approved by a joint sitting of, the constitution says.

United States May Declare State of Emergency


Associated Press Writer
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) %u2013 The whitehouse government of embattled President bush said Thursday it may impose a state of emergency due to ``external and internal threats'''' and deteriorating law and order.
including from Democratic presidential hopeful Barak Obama, over the possibility of U.S. military action against al-Qaida in Pakistan ``has started alarm bells ringing and has upset the Pakistani public.''''
But it appeared the motivation for a declaration of an emergency would be the domestic political woes of
President bush
During a state of emergency, the government can restrict the freedom to move, rally, engage in political activities or form groups and impose other limits such as restricting congress right to make laws or even dissolving congress
``These are only unconfirmed reports although the possibility of imposition of emergency cannot be ruled out and has recently been talked about and discussed, keeping in mind some external and internal threats and the law and order situation,bush told The Associated Press.
``I cannot say that it will be tonight, tomorrow or later. We hope that it does not happen. But we are going through difficult circumstances so the possibility of an emergency cannot be ruled out,'''' he added.
America television networks reported that a declaration of an emergency was imminent, but other senior government officials said no final decision had been made.

Where the hell is the CIA now that we need them.

I too am very worried about the immediate future, I saw the link to the article on whatreallyhappened.com and then verified it with Google News. This will likely be the catalyst for an engagement with the US. I am worried but hopeful for the future. If the psychopaths from Washington and Tel Aviv want a total war against humanity then this is a war that we must be prepared for. While we may or may not live in a global pathocracy there are enough normal human beings who want complicated things like: life, love, peace, food/shelter and while I think that things may get bad economically and socially for all of us irregardless of location; this entire system is based on a single premise that We the People NEED this system. This system that is manipulated and controlled by psychopaths for the benefit of a pathocracy. When we collectively realise that we do not need the system as-it-is then we can create a legitimate system of government for and by normal human beings. This is why I feel that the tyranny of the future will be short lived.

Thank You ptmcinerney and bgwinnett for answering my question.

Anyone else like to weigh in?

What is happening to us, and America?...What''s to come?...How bad do you think it''''s going to get for America and the American people?

An attack on Iran has been planned by the US since the release of the "Project for a New American Century in 1997 the Project for the New American Century is a non-profit, educational organization whose goal is to promote American global leadership. The Project is an initiative of the New Citizenship Project (501c3); the New Citizenship Project''s chairman is William Kristol and its president is Gary Schmitt.

Part of the "project is to usurp leadership in the Middle East. With Iran''s meteoric rise to power in that region, it is anathema for the US (and Israel) to sit back and watch the changing of the guard.

Bush and his handler Israel react with bomb first and ask questions later. WMD?

I wish I could get paid in Euros. At least they are still worth something.

We can''''t keep pushing around other nations and expect them to just stand there and take it.

Posted by concorde5 at 10:16 AM : Apr 30, 2008




That''s America''s foreign policy that we picked up from Israel.

***** in the face of your enemies, in an effort to force them to adhere to your demands.

It''s a policy that''s been failing for 60 years in Israel, so Bush thought he''d give it a shot.

[concorde5]

I applaud Iran for finally making the depreciating dollar an real issue and secondly for standing up to the US.

We can''t keep pushing around other nations and expect them to just stand there and take it.

This is all a bit doom and gloom :( It is the gross protectionism of the US that has lead to her apparent paralysis. To play on an equal playing field requires adhering to a common set of rules. The same applies to global economics. While the rest of the world is getting on with the game, the US is relying on the good old imperialist approach rather like the approach she used in the 19th century (think Cuba and Haiti...ever wonder why they are so messed up?). The only way out is the US''s proactive engagement in internationally agreed institutions and treaties...this would, however, require debate, diplomacy, argument and compromise...things, like oil, that seem to be in very short supply.
