Ze leven effectief in hun eigen alternatief wereldje. Enig politieke relevantie hebben ze niet.

Tuurlijk niet. Gewoon onnuttig gelul. Gelukkig maar.

Ziet er helemaal niet goed uit, met hun steeds zwakkere dollar meer importeren als exporteren.

Record imports widen US trade deficit

The US trade deficit widened in December to its biggest gap since June.

Figures from the Commerce Department showed that the overall deficit rose by 3.7% to $48.8bn (£31bn), up from a $47.06bn figure for the month earlier.

Imports rose 1.3% to a record $227.56bn, boosted by demand for foreign cars and machinery.

US exports grew slightly, by 0.7%, helped by the weak dollar, with records set for petrol, services and advance technology goods.

The widening of the trade gap was bigger than had been expected.

Currency issues

For the whole of 2011, the US trade gap rose 11.6% to $558.0bn, the highest since 2008.

The economically important deficit with China for the year jumped to a record high $295.5bn.

The latest figures, and the exchange rate that China sets its yuan currency against the dollar, is likely to be discussed at a meeting next week between President Barack Obama and Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping.

Last year, the Senate, controlled by the Democrats, passed legislation to try to force China to raise the value of its currency, but the bill was thwarted by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

China zal zeker niet toegeven, sowieso as usual.

China, India, wslk Pakistan ook kiezen de kant van Iran, en Rusland sowieso.
Japan en Zuid-Korea zullen wel volgen, toch voor een groot deel.

India to pay gold instead of dollars for Iranian oil. Oil and gold markets stunned

Iranian oil for India

India is the first buyer of Iranian oil to agree to pay for its purchases in gold instead of the US dollar, debkafile's intelligence and Iranian sources report exclusively. Those sources expect China to follow suit. India and China take about one million barrels per day, or 40 percent of Iran's total exports of 2.5 million bpd. Both are superpowers in terms of gold assets.

By trading in gold, New Delhi and Beijing enable Tehran to bypass the upcoming freeze on its central bank's assets and the oil embargo which the European Union's foreign ministers agreed to impose Monday, Jan. 23. The EU currently buys around 20 percent of Iran's oil exports.

The vast sums involved in these transactions are expected, furthermore, to boost the price of gold and depress the value of the dollar on world markets.

Iran's second largest customer after China, India purchases around $12 billion a year's worth of Iranian crude, or about 12 percent of its consumption. Delhi is to execute its transactions, according to our sources, through two state-owned banks: the Calcutta-based UCO Bank, whose board of directors is made up of Indian government and Reserve Bank of India representatives; and Halk Bankasi (Peoples Bank), Turkey's seventh largest bank which is owned by the government.
An Indian delegation visited Tehran last week to discuss payment options in view of the new sanctions. The two sides were reported to have agreed that payment for the oil purchased would be partly in yen and partly in rupees. The switch to gold was kept dark.

India thus joins China in opting out of the US-led European sanctions against Iran's international oil and financial business. Turkey announced publicly last week that it would not adhere to any sanctions against Iran's nuclear program unless they were imposed by the United Nations Security Council.

The EU decision of Monday banned the signing of new oil contracts with Iran at once, while phasing out existing transactions by July 1, 2012, when the European embargo, like the measure enforced by the United States, becomes total. The European foreign ministers also approved a freeze on the assets of the Central Bank of Iran which handles all the country's oil transactions.
However, the damage those sanctions cause the Iranian economy will be substantially cushioned by the oil deals to be channeled through Turkish and Indian state banks. China for its part has declared its opposition to sanctions against Iran.

debkafile's intelligence sources disclose that Tehran has set up alternative financial mechanisms with China and Russia for getting paid for its oil in currencies other than US dollars. Both Beijing and Moscow are keeping the workings of those mechanisms top secret.

Chinese yuan blijft superieur!
Op February 7, 2012,

We houden al enige tijd een fel betoog om wat Chinese yuans in uw portefeuille op te nemen. Onze visie is dat de yuan in de komende jaren als enige fiat currency de koopkracht kan bewaren.

Onderstaande grafiek van de WSJ laat nog maar eens zien wat we hiermee bedoelen. Niet enkel ten opzichte van de dollar, maar ook versus van de euro steeg de Chinese yuan in de afgelopen jaren.

Mensen die graag in samenzweringsverhalen geloven, zijn niet het soort mensen waar men ooit complimenten van zou willen krijgen.

Normale mensen negeren komt er uiteindelijk op neer dat samenzweringsfanaten alleen nog met elkaar spreken.
