STRONG DOLLAR

Looks can be deceiving. Except with my hair. Its beauty does not interfere with my being extra smart ( since the sunshine and water can get to my scalp ). Most folks with nice hair? Not so fortunate. But that is the exception. Mostly, when somebody is pretty they usually have no other redeeming qualities. The personality of a rock, or the intelligence of one. Look at Obammy. If you go for the zebra look, the man had a pretty face ( he might have stole it from his wife ). But the morality of a serial killer and the smarts of a garden slug.

*

( I try to avoid the discussions on race and intelligence. For a bunch of White guys who think they are smart, I don't think many of them get the point. Yes, Whites might score higher on average. Today. After several generations of breeding for intelligence, because that was economically rewarded, it's just common sense. And Blacks in general were bred for fighting and breeding, which is where the money was. So what? The future will NOT reward intelligence but rather punish it. Who is going to have the last laugh? )

*

I brought that up in case there are any knee jerk reactions about our King Kenya being a retard because of his race. And no, a college degree has NOT been about intelligence for awhile. Schools are little more than diploma mills now. If you are too young to recognize the term, look it up to understand how embarrassing it is to be Harvard, with its A- average GPA. I can see where a teenager would think he was hot crap after being a Masters at basket weaving but I can't imagine why his rich daddy sees any value in it ( I know, future connections. Still-an extreme price ).

*

Right now, 'Murica LOOKS strong. So strong the Iraq war didn't end until we just pulled all our troops into Green Zones and didn't meddle in that crackpot religious fecal stew anymore ( don't get between a Muzzy and his killing other religions-what else do they have to do to entertain themselves besides sodomizing camels and killing each other? ). So strong her obsolete naval vessels play bumper cars in open oceans. I would say, “so strong they still fight in Afghanistan twenty years later”, but come on! Nobody wins over in Afghanistan.

*

Losing a war in Afghanistan isn't indicative of a weak military, but it does show hubris and a fundamental lack of understanding even the most rudimentary history. Ask some little legless beggar in Calcutta who has a lopsided head from jumping into the Ganges and hitting a rock, hey, kid, who should you never attack militarily?, and he'll tell you in between wiping drool off his chin, duh, Afghanistan. Evidently, the Pentagon got all its intel on the country from satellite images rather than cracking a history book. Now, Venezuela, THAT was embarrassing.

*

America does one thing well with its military, and that is enriching some armaments companies, with their bankers. That is what you get for your one trillion a year. Sure, there is some true Reaganomics trickle down benefits such as much cheaper oil, coffee and chocolate, but those are mere crumbs to the proletariat. The entire show has now degenerated into a Pretty Pony Presentation. Our nuclear arsenal is the only thing keeping us in power still. Want more proof? Every time the US Army loses a war, they give themselves a wardrobe change. New uniforms upon defeat.

*

If that isn't indicative of a loser, form over function, and dazzling glitter to distract, I don't know what is. Another loser right now? Our currency. The dollar went into future Rhodesia mode when we ran out of both gold stores and oil increases. Somehow, we said to our little Saudi buddies, hey, I know we are getting our ass handed to us by black pajama wearing rice slurping farmers, but we definitely can protect you if you agree to price all your oil in dollars, mmkay? Well, you know that isn't how the conversation went, but it makes for good PR.

*

What probably happened was the negotiator Kissenger said, hey, raghead, see all those troops over in Vietnam? They can all start flying west instead of east. Care to pledge undying love and fidelity to America, or would you prefer being back in a tent in the desert as we swarm your two bit sandbox? Well, gee, what a decision. Stay rich, get much richer as they had just gotten mega-production going, or get napalmed? Well, boys and girls, that arrangement lasted forty years, plus a couple extra for good measure. It is already over.

*

The Saudi's have already started taking Chinese currency as payment for oil. Just partially, and it is buried in the books. They know better than to embarrass the US, but a precedent once set becomes rather dangerous, doesn't it? I've mentioned this several times. You yawn and go fill up the SUV to go have a BBQ at the lake. I'll keep repeating this, as it is far more important than you want to admit. The PetroDollar WAS the currency which kept the economy running. Every barrel of oil pumped was debt we created. It was money for nothing and chicks for free.

*

Russia, China, Turkey, India, Venezuela, Iran and Saudi Arabia-all are just some of the countries now buying or selling oil in currencies other than dollars. That means they don't need to buy our debt. That means we are buying our own Treasury bonds. Oopsie! That can lead to some problems! This process has been ongoing. Your uber wonderful Dollar is no longer so wonderful. But look! The dollar is oh so strong right now! No, sorry, the dollar is weaker than ever. But in comparison to OTHER currencies it LOOKS strong. What did we just say about looks being deceptive? Anyone? Mueller?

*

A strong looking currency is rather troubling if you think about it, because it means the rest of the globe is in an economic depression. Everyone else exports to us. We can't buy. Their currency weakens because of that. Making ours look stronger. How does that help us, long term? It wasn't bad enough the PetroDollar is dying, now we take down the rest of the global economy with us. I suppose you want even MORE proof that the Oil Age is disintegrating? It isn't unicorns and lollipops right up to its complete collapse. More tomorrow.
