AChinaca, eh. China has no history of expansionism, territorial conquest, so that would be one way to get Iran, have America deliver it as payoff. Interesting theory David. Of course I would not support that delivery; what has Iran ever done to us? And the U.S. has supported global empire far too long already.
China does hold a quarter of our debt, they're actively buying up commodities (net importer), and they're moving away from the dollar in trade. Make no mistake, China is the biggest player in the game and our future depends on them. I've been following some other financial stories, perhaps related:
- our huge appetite for debt. $223B in February alone (new monthly high)
- the Fed is now the largest purchaser of Treasury debt
- no way we're going to pay back our debt (in real terms) Peter Schiff
- why does Alan Greenspan keep dissing "fiat currencies" and talking up gold? text & video
- rigged markets (stocks, silver/gold) Harvey Organ
- the efforts to end market rigging. Stand for Delivery CRASH JP MORGAN BUY SILVER Silver Shield
- how the Federal Reserve exports inflation (ie. North Africa) zerohedge
- loss of the dollar's 'reserve-currency' status
So where will these converge? where are we headed? I think the result may well be the end of all fiat currency in America, and possibly the globe. Have you heard of Bix Wier's
Road to Roota theory? It postulates "
that there is a group of people in the United States as well as around the world that are working to remove and destroy the financial banking powers that have secretly controlled all aspects of our lives for hundreds of years." And, that the market manipulation may be coming to an end:

Very possibly this isn't the "End of America" but rather its
rebirth as We The People extricate our government from the bankers and return to self-governance.
