Are You Ready For Total Currency War?

Submited by Ron Holland via The Daily Bell,

"Are you ready for total war?" "Sind Sie bereit für totalen Krieg?" – Joseph Goebbels

On February 18, 1943, German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels delivered a rousing speech at the Berlin Sportpalast, asking the German people, "Sind Sie bereit für totalen Krieg?" or "Are you ready for total War?" Germany had planned for Blitzkrieg and a short war and was unprepared for a world war as the combined military forces of the United States, England and the Soviet Union crushed the Reich relentlessly and systematically. Although the people and economy rallied in defense of Germany, total war only prolonged the horrors of war and delayed their inevitable defeat.

Today, 72 years later, another quasi-fascist empire formerly at the pinnacle of world economic power is being taken over, this time on the economic front, by China and the BRICs. Yet it retains the ability to project military power on every continent, with troops deployed in over 150 countries, and is involved simultaneously in regions ranging from Europe and the Ukraine, across the Middle East and Africa to the nations in Asia surrounding China.

The leadership of most foreign vassal states are threatened, bought off or blackmailed into doing the empire's bidding lest they be overthrown and replaced through covert black-ops that often masquerade as homegrown domestic uprisings like the Arab Spring or the Ukraine coup in 2014.

Non-cooperating foreign nations, central banks, domestic nationalists and powerful centers of influence are threatened with state trade sanctions, individual sanctions and blacklisting, banking prohibitions and bond-rating downgrades in addition to other economic and outright military threats. The empire's powerful propaganda machine based in New York and London that, when needed, can within only weeks turn former allies into evil despots without cause, reason or evidence.

An unforgiveable crime is to threaten the mountains of government debt and endless trillions in derivatives issued by vassal state governments led by controlled foreign political leaders where old bond offerings are simply rolled over, along with interest owed, into new obligations. This further burdens citizens and taxpayers just so favored global investment banking interests in the US, UK, Germany and others can continue their fee and commission gravy train.

Greece is the Achilles Heel of the European Union

But the cardinal sin for a politician or political leader is to threaten the ruling entity, as Greece is now doing with the European Union. The EU has a ruling junta of unelected politicians and banking bond-holding interests hiding behind political leaders like Merkel in Germany. This modern-day creation of a permanent union built upon the fatal flaw of the American union, where formerly sovereign states are free to join but can never leave, is a recipe for disaster.

This was the case with the Civil War in the United States or today in Greece, with the total economic destruction and destitution of both the state and the people to foreign banking interests and debt slavery. This permanent debtor status to German and other banking interests appears to even preclude Greece getting financial help from Russia or China.

Make no mistake; tiny Greece does threaten the survival of the EU monstrosity. Should Greece prevail in its efforts to separate from the EU, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other nations will surely follow its bold path back to prosperity, independence and sovereignty, not possible without a dramatically weakened euro.

The Establishment Media Insures the Currency War Is a Secret War

"The first casualty when war comes is truth." - Hiram Johnson a Republican politician from California who served in the United States Senate for nearly 30 years.

Thanks to the establishment propaganda media outlets – all major cable news channels including the neocon Fox News – relatively few Americans are able to see the ongoing global dollar and economic wars raging from Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Iran to Greece and the Ukraine. Most assume the EU banking assault on Greece in response to its threats to leave the European Union and its bond debts to German banks is a separate economic issue from US and EU financial sanctions against Russia. Likewise, there is little discussion and even less understanding by Americans about how the ISIS movement, originally created by the US as a moderate faction against the Syrian government, suddenly morphed into the Sunni Caliphate movement now controlling the majority of Syria and Iraq.

The real question is whether this economic and financial war being waged between Washington and vassal states including the supra-national European Union versus the Russia/China alliance will remain an economic and currency war or go hot over ISIS and nationalistic resistance. The ultimate goal of the empire is to maintain the survival of the petrodollar energy market priced in dollars – and that is the reason behind the ultimate US goal, which is to wrest control of oil and gas pipelines through Iraq, Syria and the Ukraine from opposition regimes.

As an American, I'm writing here about a coverup of an ongoing war between Washington, London and the EU versus Russia and China. The EU, historically a vassal state controlled by Washington, is now being pushed into a military conflict over Ukraine. Today there is a policy rift taking place between Germany's Merkel, joined by other major European countries, and the formerly dominant US/UK leadership as to whether military weapons should be provided to the American-installed government in Kiev.

Europeans Remember the Horrors of World War Two

What most Americans do not realize is that during World War Two, every European nation had at least a contingent of troops fighting on the side of Germany against the Russians – and Russians are tough fighters. Putin's 80% approval rate in Russia dwarfs the popularity of every Western politician and political party. It is difficult to imagine German or French troops fighting and dying for Merkel or Hollande on the plains of the Ukraine, formerly part of Russia, where millions of Soviet troops died during the Second World War.

While the usual neocon spokesmen like John McCain and Lindsey Graham might want the US involved in a military conflict with Russia in the Ukraine, and uneducated Americans might even go along with them, Europeans know their history and are rightly horrified at the prospect.

Remember, the old Soviet Union during the World War was a hated communist government led by a tyrannical dictator. Active military conflicts are tough for politicians to justify unless there is a cultural, religious, patriotic or ethnic aspect to the military action. Joseph Stalin, one of the world's greatest tyrants, was able to get the Russian people behind his war with Hitler only because to the public, defeat meant either lifetime serfdom or death under the foreign Nazi regime. The cruelty of the German and SS armies ultimately guaranteed their defeat; although in many areas they were initially welcomed as liberators, eventually military occupation by the Nazis became equal to or worse than the terrors of Stalin and the Soviet Union.

Today the Internet Limits the Effectiveness of Government Propaganda Efforts

Governments and politicians now have to deal with the Internet Reformation where alternative media outlets often present an entirely different view of war and financial market manipulation than does the establishment media with their sanitized video footage supported by "patriotic" propagandistic editorials and financial news comments.

While historically the Washington Empire was somewhat benign and even helpful to former adversaries following World War Two, US incursions over the last two decades have been more of a horror story of nation destruction than liberation and prosperity – witness Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Yemen just to name a few. Of course, all nations and empires compete and none of our competitors from Russia, China or Iran etc. are ruled by saints or without their own atrocities but retribution does happen and the chickens do come home to roost when nations or empires lose in military, economic or currency wars. Sadly, the innocence of civilians is no protection when the surging tides of empire turn.

Innocence Does Not Offer Protection

Ask the hundreds of thousands of Germans who were drafted into the Volkssturm in the last year of World War Two, given a Panzerfaust and marched to the front to attack Soviet tanks and defend the Nazi leadership in Berlin. Or consider the innocent civilians in a firebombed Dresden where tens of thousands were roasted alive or suffocated by the allied terror bombing at the end of the war, not to mention the hundreds of thousands in Japan who were victims of fire-bombing and atomic bomb attack.

Personally I don't plan on defending American politicians in Washington from foreign or domestic assault or the central banking cartel and Wall Street investment bankers who ultimately will destroy the world in a sea of debt. But emergency presidential executive orders guarantee we will not be able to protect our retirement funds, savings and investment portfolios from confiscation when the chickens come home to roost on the Washington Empire.

If we have some wealth or property left when the dollar fails, we cannot stop the future "means testing" of our Social Security and Medicare benefits. Much of our domestic real estate holdings may well be stolen by favored groups and individuals when we can't pay the exorbitant annual property taxes just like much property in the defeated South was taken by northeastern "carpet baggers" after the War Between the States – or lost during the Great Depression, which is a more likely scenario for comparison of what all productive Americans will face in the future.

Right now there is a world war taking place right in front of us but all we see on cable news are the nightly military skirmishes on the periphery of the conflict. The real war is economic, financial and currency related and the empire is already over-extended in debt, military operations and financial manipulation. Surely the near-term dollar strength is evidence that while defeat is not imminent and that all markets can be manipulated for a season, ultimately real global market forces will prevail.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

Americans should take advantage of recent dollar strength to diversify into gold, investments, real estate and safe haven locations outside the US dollar and the United States. Better to be early than too late because eventually the consequences of aggressive military actions, central banking manipulation and uncontrolled government debt and unfunded liabilities will come home to the American people. Neither the guilt of our political and banking leadership nor the innocence of our citizenry will protect you, your assets or your family. (Ron will be speaking more on this topic at the May 13-17 High Alert Investment Conference.)

Don't wait for a Greek withdrawal from the EU, a run on euro debt, a third US invasion of Iraq, war against ISIL or an escalation in Syria or the Ukraine in an attempt to secure oil and gas pipelines to act. Just remember that all empires eventually become over-extended financially, economically or militarily and the consequences of retribution and blowback are real and deadly to innocent populations.

PS, I have one basic problem with this post aside from the quality of the writing: it says very little about currency and I'm not sure the author actually knows what a currency war is... or what merchantilism is either... seems like a sales pitch to me.

I think the real author of this post was Richy Rich, and his purpose was to persuade you to buy assets (his assets) - right now! while they're priced to the sky.  Richy's got a ton of them for sale that he picked up on the cheap a while back and NOW would be a great time for you to buy his assets... BEFORE prices crash.

He's saying: c'mon muppets, spend a little money!  Invest in your future!!!  (Buuuwwhahahahahaha!)

Russians are tough troops?

What are you smoking? Germany would have won the war had the US not stepped in. The battle of Barbarossa was where it all turned around; Hitler thought too highly of his troops who were by every measure superior to any other nation, including the US (I'm not saying this to be supportive of the 3rd Reich, it's just the truth).... they just couldn't sustain 4 fronts, the British, the US in Africa and Western Europe, and the Russians. So, he sends them in without proper winter supply and during one of the worst winters in 100 years. Had Hitler retreated from Stalingrad, the outcome could have been different or at least ended much later. 

But to say the Russians are tough is a misnomer... they had numbers, and numbers back then is what you needed to stave off assaults.

Hitler threw away the Sixth Army and the strategic initiative all by himself, no contribution from the Americans. If you know the first thing about Stalingrad you can't say the Russian soldiers weren't tough as hell.

But battle outcomes could only delay the inevitable. German occupation policies east and west doomed their war effort despite the professionalism and technical expertise of the German armed forces. There could never be enough Dirlewangers to suppress millions of Eurasians with nothing left to lose.

And if that sounds awfully similar to German foreign policy today, that's because some things haven't changed.

Demographics are destiny.   Look at the Demographics of Russia and Germany in 1941.  Then add the other Allies to the Russian side and you can see this was a foregone conclusion.   Not enough Germans to defeat the Russians, nevermind the combined powers of the Allies.   No country in ETO fielded tougher troops then the Russians.  They had to be tough as they had to fight the Germans and fear the NKVD.

Oh for fuck's sake.  When did Germany lose WWII?  If you don't know that Germany lost WWII outside the gates of Moscow in December of 1941, then you don't know your history and need to read up on it.  Germany had one chance, which was to defeat the Soviet Union in one season.  They failed.  The Russians, who wanted no part in a European fighting war because they needed another decade before they would be ready to face the Germans, had hoped that Germany would honor the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.  Of course they didn't, and attacked Russia in operation Barbarossa in June of 1941.  That's well before the US entered the war, if you haven't figured that out yet.

 

Yes, you are right that operation Barbarossa was where it all "turned around", but Guderian stopped the advance because his troops where freezing, his equipment was breaking, and he had nothing left to advance with but sheer will.  And when did he stop that advance?  December 5, 1941.  When was Pearl Harbor?  December 7, 1941, 2 days AFTER Operation Barbarossa had ground to a halt.  When did we declare war on Japan?  December 8.  Axis powers declared war on the US December 11 and we reciprocated the same day.  So what does that mean?  It means that Russia traded lives and space in order to grind the Whermacht down to a nub.  They bled terribly, and stopped Hitler all on their own.  Before we even entered the war.  Russians aren't tough?  They stopped Napoleon all on their own after he had conquered Europe one century, and stopped Hitler all on their own after he had conquered Europe the next.  They single handedly saved Europe twice.  It is shameful how Western history tries mightily to ignore that, because if we recognize how valient and heroic the Russians actually are, it is that much more difficult to demonize them.

 

You are confused about your timeline, because you seem to think that there were 4 fronts, when at most there were two -- the Allied powers started in North Africa, then after that was done entered Italy, and after that bogged down attacked Western Europe.  Are you even aware of the general outline of how that war went?  You act as if Britian required a front.  What front?  They were a defeated island.  They posed no existential threat to Axis forces on mainland Europe.  The Allied bombing campaign, flying for the most part from Britian, was very effective at killing civilians but failed to prevent increases in Axis manufacturing output throughout the entire war.  There was no "British front."  Allied powers didn't even invade Southern Europe until September of 1943 -- two years after America entered the war. 

And where was the Soviet Union by that time?  By the time the Allies got around to even indirectly putting pressure on the Axis powers in mainland Europe, Russia had rolled the Germans all the way out of their territory and were taking parts of Ukraine in November of 1943.  They were at the Polish border by summer of 1944, when the Allies were just getting started in France.

 

Let's put it this way.  Out of the 10 bloodiest battles of WWII, the Soviet union fought 5 of them all on their own (Kursk 1943, second battle of Kharkov 1942, Moscow 1942, Stalingrad 1942-43, and Narva 1944.)

 

It's time to give the Russian people their due.  They are fierce.  We should celebrate the position in world history that they bled and died for, rather than trying to hush it up and ignore it because we feel that somehow detracts from the glory of our history.  The fact that the US feels a need to polish its glory is itself very troubling, because that's what empires do.  Which means that the country our founding fathers tried to set up is truly dead and gone.  They would have been horrified to learn that we became an empire, the antithesis of everything they stood for.  It's Shameful.

Empires are formed and exist to enrich a small group of people who control them.  The descendants of the rulers of the last bona fide Empire (England) still control much of the world.  I saw a graphic here on ZH the other day with a map of the world showing the handful of countries that England did not invade during its reign.  The families in control then are still pulling the strings, and they have this little bitch called America that fronts for it.  Many Americans even still follow the English royal family.  The owners will still be here when America implodes.

Upvoted. There was never an "American" empire. After a few tries, the USA was successfully invaded by the Rothschild globalist empire, which the British empire morphed into. The USA was conquered in either 1913, or 1945, depending on whether you count the Federal Reserve or Bretton Woods as the beginning of the globalist era. (Me, I think the globalist empire took over from the British empire in 1913.)

<<The descendants of the rulers of the last bona fide Empire (England) still control much of the world.  I saw a graphic here on ZH the other day with a map of the world showing the handful of countries that England did not invade during its reign.>>

Be useful to see such a map for the USA since 1991.

Here's a list of names of the descendants of the rulers, that you mention:

http://landdestroyer.blogspot.ca/2011/03/naming-names-your-real-governme...

I think we should read these names, remember them well, and make sure that others know them too. THESE are the people and corporations that rule your country, if you live in the so-called 'west', regardless of who you trot out to the booth for on voting day.

For years I've been saying that WW3 is a currency war. Shooting wars must be financed, and if the USUK gets unmanageable China can simply wipe them out. This currency war is, IMHO, no less than the culmination of Rothschilds' centuries-long delusional project to rule the world.

Nuclear war is already financed.  If the Chinese pose a serious threat to the Rothschilds, they will retreat to their bunkers with their 100:1 women/girls:men ratio, and pull the trigger.

The thing about these guys that most people don't grasp is that control is all that matters.  They already have wealth beyond imagination, and they already can do basically whatever they want.   But they want to control.  Everything.  If you've ever met even a run of the mill narcissist you will see a glimpse of what they are about.

Turned my downvote back up just now. (Sometimes I click the wrong arrow, whoops! it happens.) I agree that nuclear war doesn't need more financing. A 'conventional'(!) shooting war does.

I agree with you that they are ALL about control, and that they will blow us all to smithereens in about 60 seconds flat if they perceive that they really are LOSING this war. I think this is why the rest of the world has to be so careful. Forget Iran and the "OMG NOOKS!" program that it may or may not have. We KNOW who the bad guys are, and they're the exact same madmen who currently have control of most of the world's nukes. These are the same guys who blew up Hiroshima and Nagasaki for a test, a show of power, for kicks. For FUN. Rothschild may be an inbred lunatic, but you really can't piss him off as long as he has his scrawny inbred claw poised over the nuke button.

When money runs off a Rothschild press, then "money" is a red herring. What they want - have wanted for centuries - is to Rule The World. Their propaganda arm is more dangerous than their evil central banks are.

At odds, hence the currency war. If you've ever watched The Thing, then you'll know why:

<<MacReady: I know I'm human. And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This thing doesn't want to show itself. It wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won.>>

Disagree that we're necessarily ALL fucked, although I'll concede that kinda does depend on what the definition of "fucked" is...

Then again, I have lately been accused of being an optimist.

Interesting link... I used to do tons and tons of research on this topic every single day since my great 3x grandfather was a 32nd degree mason and the real connection between all of these highly elite organizations is their Freemason connection. I can type it all out and give you a pretty good history of why Freemasonry is the pinnacle of the pyramid when it comes to occultic organizations and secret societies.

The point is that there is sort of an octopus theory of all these organizations and "brotherhoods" that co-op into the underarching goals of either French Freemasonry or Scottish Freemasonry (the 2 dualing behemoths at the top vying for world domination)

What's important to know is that they can be stopped if we have knowledge and understanding. Their target is for a 1 world union, and the way they will do that is through a manufactured crisis.... probably starting with a currency crisis that could by all contradictions end up with an electronic currency like Bitcoin that you can buy and sell with only backed by the 1 world monetary system. How ironic it would be to have a currency that was intended for all intents and purposes to subvert governments, might actually be used to control you one day. The US Gov is afterall the single largest holder now. Time will tell.

Decent take but I'd add a third step (from a western point of view).

1.  1913=Invasion of Normandy.

2.  1945=Falaise Pocket.

3.  1971=Fall of Berlin.

And just so you get educated here so your visit wouldn't be for nothing, Putin got 62+% of the total votes in the last election, and has ~85% approval rating according to Empire mouthpiece Der Spiegel, whereas you in degenerate, scum-bred Europa are being ruled by those who got 23% of votes like it is the case with British puppet Cameron, and I am guessing in your Swedish fucktard land too.

Denmark was invaded and captured by Germany but maintained an active resistance throughout the war.

Norway was invaded and captured by Germany but maintained an active resistance throughout the war.

Sweden was relatively strong and remained neutral except that they served as a safe haven for the resistance and refugees.

Finland was invaded by Russia multiple times and finally defeated.  Finland did accept German support because they couldn't handle the Russians alone and they were refused help by everyone else first.  Who's fault is that?

The Scandis didn't start anything in WWII and they did not go wholesale to the nazis.  An earlier post on ZH stated that men from every single European country served in the German army during WWII so that is not a salient point in your favor.

Who funded the nazis?  Who funded the communists?  I'll bet those two answers are extremely similar and have nothing to do with the Scandis.

"... fascism sure is making a grand comeback all over the place these days."

Correct. As I wrote as far back as 1995:

Fascism is on the rise in Europe. Only this time round, they won't be wearing military fatigues, doing the goosestep and Heil Hitler salutes. They'll be wearing Armani suits and dining at the best restaurants."

What I see happening is exactly what I predicted 20 years ago.

It will lead to war.

The key is to survive the collapse until some semblance of order is restored and re-building starts. At that time you will either need a skill that is in demand, or you will need to own something that has value (it won't be fiat!). Otherwise you will be dependent on handouts from others, or on a very reduced government stipend.

So your plan is to duck and cover until someone comes around and makes it all better by restoring order?  I ask because your stance on it is passive thereby implying you do not intend to restore order yourself but rather acquiesce to some future PTB.

A neighbor of mine has stacked 200 ounces of silver.  He told me to get started now while the price is low.  He says gold is going to $5000 and at present silver is 75-1 with gold at 1200.  He says that silver will end up being 16 to 1 with gold.  So if he is correct, gold will be $5000.00 and silver will be $312 or so.

I best get started.

China sells grain in USD

South Africa sells diamonds in USD.

Cote d'ivoire sells cocoa in USD.

Almost every country sells it's production in USD

Russia sells oil in USD, Russia that hates US is greatly helping US to give real value to USD.

In poland 2nd biggest silver producer in world sells its silver in london for USD.

The only possible cure is to stop using USD, and replace it with something physical or something backed by physical goods. Or something similar to currency used in movie "In time", Let's hope BRICKs will figure out something before it is too late.

Germany had planned for Blitzkrieg and a short war and was unprepared for a world war as the combined military forces of the United States, England and the Soviet Union crushed the Reich relentlessly and systematically. Although the people and economy rallied in defense of Germany, total war only prolonged the horrors of war and delayed their inevitable defeat.

The message: "Don't take on the bully until you are absolutely certain you can prevail ... and don't forget to count in the resources the bully can bully your enemies ... and even your friends ... into delivering to him."

It's easy to beat them. Just create a properly managed medium of exchange. They could never compete. And to try to remove a properly managed MOE by force would tip their hand, accelerating their demise.

What we're seeing now is an effort by them to replace their current improperly managed MOE (working in their favor) with a new improperly managed MOE (also working in their favor).

And we're "out of the frying pan into the fire"!
