US "Isolated" As Key Ally Japan Considers Joining China-Led Bank
Well, that escalated quickly.
Just a week ago it appeared Washington had managed (for the time being at least) to convince the US’ closest allies to refrain from joining the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a sinocentric institution aimed at promoting development across Asia that is meant to rival the US/Japanese-led ADB and begin a seismic shift away from the world’s traditionally US-dominated institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF. Then, much to the chagrin of Washington, the UK joined as a founding member calling it an “unrivaled opportunity.”
As we and many other observers correctly noted at the time, the move by Britain could well embolden other countries who had expressed an interest initially but been deterred by pressure from Washington to reconsider their bids for membership. In (very) short order, everyone from Germany to Australia to Luxembourg was suddenly ready to cast their lot with the Chinese despite US warnings that the bank won’t adopt the proper operational standards. As we said yesterday, the world is now wise to the fact that US criticism of the new venture is very likely nothing more than an attempt by The White House to undermine Chinese regional ambition:
...and that means in short order Australia and South Korea will likely be on board and at that point, the stigma the US has created around membership will have completely disappeared (if it hasn’t already), opening the door for other US “allies” to join despite the bank’s alleged “low” standards.
Now, it appears the last valuable friend the US has in the bid to keep China from undercutting the ADB is beginning to consider a bid to join up. Here’s more from Reuters:
Japan's foreign minister signaled cautious approval of the institution that the United States has warned against…
The opposition to the AIIB began crumbling after Britain said earlier this month that it would join the institution, saying it was in its national interest. France, Germany and Italy swiftly followed suit.
Australia now appears close to joining, although no formal decision has been made, and Beijing said Japan and South Korea were also considering the possibility. Asked about the three countries joining the bank, China's Foreign Ministry said it was "open" to it.
"They have all already expressed that they are contemplating the issue at hand," ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily briefing. "We are open to them making the relevant decision."
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said Tokyo could consider joining the China-led bank if it could guarantee a credible mechanism for providing loans.
Make no mistake, they’ll still be plenty of officials in Japan who will stick to the script and fight the proposal, but the fact that the country is openly considering it when relations with China are rocky at best and when Japan is so influential in what is pretty clearly a competing institution speaks volumes about the extent to which US hegemony is waning. For his part, PM Abe is still hanging onto the same tired rhetoric:
- ABE: AIIB IS DIFFERENT TO IMF, WORLD BANK AND ADB
- ABE: NEED TO CONSIDER AIIB QUESTION CAREFULLY
As for BoJ Gov. Kuroda, he was apparently too busy buying stocks to comment.
Via Bloomberg:
Asian Development Bank and World Bank have accumulated experience in helping Asia improve infrastructure, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said Friday, declining to comment on whether Japan should participate in a new China-led lender.
Kuroda said he couldn’t respond directly when asked whether Japan should join Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

That's why Michelle went to Japan .... Obama is grooming her to replace him .... first black tranny Prez !
Absolutely Mooch's appearance in Tokyo was the trigger. Pretty sure the Japanese Prime Minister saw her fat garantuan ass stumble and thought "do I really want my nation associated with these classless assholes?"
Don't blame him - if I could disassociate with that shitsucking fucking freak obamas I would too.
Obama: "Special... uh.... relation... uuuuuh....ship with the ...uh... Brits? Fuck that ....uh.... shit, I aaahhhh... just tell 'em what to do."
Wow. Shinzo Abe was supposed to be the first Japanese PM to address a joint session of US Congress in April.
10:1 this gets cancelled and Japan is moved to the turd list.
Que petulant democrats in 3...2....1
The USSA has economically screwed too many countries too often.... it's bad when even the servile Japanese are starting to bail.
But at least the USSA has the toadying Canadians and Mexicans under control...for now.
We are a shrinking island of hypocrisy.
Better Get Your GOLD Stash In Order... Bitchies
These Guys Will No Doubt Be Pro-Pro-Pro GOLD.
"" Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said Tokyo could consider joining the China-led bank if it could guarantee a credible mechanism for providing loans.""
mmm mmm ==> "Loans"...
MORE LOANS... Me Wants To Join Too...
Guys, Japan is likely joining so that they can RECEIVE loans, not give them. They're in deep shit money-wise. They need all the friends they can get.
Exactly.
Wake me up when SWIFT is no longer used.

Peter Schiff: 'The dollar is going to crash, buy gold'
The dollar has been on a roll. But EuroPacific Capital's Schiff remains steadfast in his bearish view on the buck, and bullish view on gold.
and the paper PM's are having a slight parabolic moment so far this morning. Upward manipulation is just as bad as the usual downward manipulation. Why is the Cartel allowing PM's to go up this morning so quickly?
They must want the PM's up at a certain level for some reason today and then they'll either cap it at that level or smash it down again.
I'm waiting for the monkeys to be set forth for some hammering before the end of the day.
As always: BTFD
GUESS WHO Is Calling $15 Oil.?. LOL... Oil Bottom Must Be In???
CNBC Gartman: Crude could hit $15.
Here's why Commodities King Dennis Gartman says a combination of supply issues and a stronger dollar will cause a "stunning" decline for crude prices.
If Oil goes to $15, the entire world will be chaotic Sir. Not something i want to see!
'despite US warnings that the bank won’t adopt the proper operational standards' Standards as in everyone running the bank being a member of the J-mafia? We seem to have those AIPAC operational standards all over our government and FED.
http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2014/01/stanley-fischer-a-dual-u-s-...
We know that the AIPAC jobs program works at all levels, not just FED chairs and secretaries of Treasury and numerous govt Czars.
Wonder what the minimum wage is for these fucks.
And the jews have done such a bang-up job of managing the world's finances and markets, we should give them kudos and tickle their arse with a feather... Fuck that, let's just hope they don't turn off the lights when shown the door...
Samson option, the only reason we haven't already, IMO!
Japan is in deep shit money-wise. That's true. But at the same time, Japan is the biggest creditor nation too. Japan should sell all the worthless US Tresury bills (almost $1T), before they ask for any loans.
"chickens coming home to roost "
Don't blink
Agreed Latina Lover.
It leaves us only one avenue.
Change ourselves.
Reestablish confidence and trust.
It's a matter of trust.

That's the key, we still have what it takes, but we must adapt.
We need to fix our home.
ah, but we DON'T have what it takes anymore.
we're not even "cool" anymore (quite the opposite).
amerika is a dark Tijuana bucket shop, busily dismantling the engine of American prosperity one bolt at a time.
I heard a story recently on "Snap Judgement" about all these returning veterans with PTSD coming back & independantly claiming to be followed by black demons...(& getting exorcisms etc)
What if they aren't imagining it?
I guess its true, if you look into the abyss, it looks back!
Ugly man
If Japan joins this group we are screwed.
Actually, we are screwed whether or not they do.
It's what we get for being overlorded and NSA'd by the retard convention going on 24/7 in DC.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said Tokyo could consider joining the China-led bank if it could guarantee a credible mechanism for providing loans.
Japanese Finance Minister Tear An Asshole? Yeah? Really? As long as they have a credible mechanism for providing loans to Japan?
This story has got to be right out of the Onion.
LMAO.
Thanks for the humor Tyler.
How so?
Pssssssst, we're Governered by Children, Criminals & Psychopaths / Sociopaths.
Children are innocent, thoughtful, honest, and full of truthiness. Please let's don't lump them in with those sick, evil, traitorous, bloodsuckers.
US Hegemony is being questioned. That is good. Maybe we can get the manufacturing domestically to create actual jobs that aren't based on stocks, internet, fiat, outsourcing...you know tangilbe creation for us and by us. Robots are not capable of taking over the human worker....yet.
But the loss of US financial hegemony will not go w/o a fight:

What I see from this article is that we are going to attempt to have the same debt, tax, and fiat system. Have our goods cheaply produced in Latin America by major corporations that do not offer us jobs but still import and sell us cheap shit, instead of China doing it for us. PS if you shop at Walmart you are wrong!! Buy local and put your money where your mouth is.
I disagree, they have demographic and cultural challenges.
They are ok as trading partners if you all are for substandard parts, reserve currency? Ha! Sure. Only if we fail, and we are presently.
We need to learn our lesson, and then we will be fine, have patience. Perhaps this is our nations rebirth. (Painful)
We have allowed some of the worst of our vices to take us here.
It will take work and real change to get back on track.
Don't give up.
Good things require leadership, sacrifice, and wisdom.
It can be done, it's up to us.
Grow up. Big systems == rule at gunpoint by people with deep pockets. Period. It isn't going to get any better than this.
We are a young country.
Next stage I hope, sweet madam blue.

What part of all fiat will go to zero don't people understand?
The "all" part. Not to mention most folks think fiat is a piece of shit Italian car thus expecting it to be worthless.
And, so it begins again. Another Bankruputcy Collapse. Well, itherorectorically we've been slowly collapsing since the last Bankruputcy when the Banking Emergecy Act of 1933 was instituted.
yes, when all Americans and future Americans became tenants.
tick tock motherfuckers...
You left out Enemies of the Crminal State.
Japan has the intention of breaking the new system. They will borrow from the development fund and then they will play the role of Greece.
They hate China. Jeeez. No worries.
In fact most Asians are much more racist than any average Deep South KKK order. The Japanese have traditionally believed the Chinese and Korean...especially Korean, to be inferior. It is likewise with those cultures attitudes against the Japanese.
This will not last...
Uh...Fiat is a piece of shit Italian car..
But it's also what everyone else here knows it is.
Fiat = FIX IT AGAIN TONY !
Given this, on a relative basis, China's currency being backed by actual gold is probably trumping the USD backed by tungsten.
USD is backed by Murder in every form.
Technically it comes close to zero, but stops at its intrinsic value as TP or fire kindling. One enterprising Irishman even used bricks of shredded Euros to build a house.
What the entire world is doing by joining AIIB is to create infra for some of the poorest people numbering into billions across Asia without a political agenda.
As usual, US wants the whole world to fuck the poor and fellow human beings and ALWAYS has a political agenda.
Here comes another G-7 pal of America with a few billion into the pot led by China to support power, roads, bridges, clean water, sanitation etc for all the nations who deserve so, with or without the US!
Australia to invest 3 bln AUD in AIIB: ReportMaybe it should be renamed the C7.
The US's impotence is showing, how long until they gang up on the bully and give
him a good kicking ?
Yes, is a fiat world it really is all about your "full faith and creedit".
Like I have to tell my young son occassionally. There are consequences for being a dick.
Having said that I have done business in Asia for quite some time and the name of the game
is tit for tat. Corruption is just a way of life.
When I was young and innocent I believed it was an eastern thing.
Then I discovered it was a world wide thing.Some are more discrete than others,is all.
The fact is that human nature doesn't change.
There will always be , as one of my early boss's said, 'Sharks and Guppies, You're one or the other'.
There will always be those whom have "The Lean and Hungry Look".
Any system change ideas will Have to have that fact within its scope.
That fact has been here all along, It's even Commandment #10
(Covet)
you've described a world not worth living in, rooting for or giving a shit about
Yes, but moral hazard is funny like that. I guess we should have held some bankers and financiers accountable when we had the chance to do so.
No he hasn't. He's explaining how things work. You decide whether you want to be a shark, or a guppie, or something else....maybe a Q-ship guppie with big fucking teeth?
When you realize they're all sharks, it's easy to see through them, easy to ambush them. You don't have to become just another shark to do it. Be a guppie who likes to hunt shark occasionally.
Regardless, life goes on. And life is always worth rooting for.
Yes, hence one of my favorite things to say to these "smartest guys in the room"...
Jump fucker jump!!!
That's what we're facing for as far as the eye can see. Amongst the other useless objects cluttering my desk in an anthropolgy degree, and if I learned one thing from my research there it's that the only societies that have EVER been observed enjoying relative freedom and equality have been autonomous societies of 150 people or less that possess nothing we would define as material wealth. We can't go back there, and I personally think we haven't even scratched the surface of possibilities for badly desigend big systems. The agricultural revolution came 30,000 years too early, and we've got nothing to look forward to but one form of bullshit tyranny or another until humans get smarter.
Funny. The Chinese like building infrastructure and the US likes blowing up infrastructure. Maybe its an "eastern" thing.
good way to keep the debt growing.........build it blow it up, build it blow it up.........rinse and repeat........somewhere, a Rothschld banker is very happy!
And an economist. It's all good, wholesome GDP.
The conflict over the China-backed Asian investment bank
19 March 2015The decision by major European powers to join the $50 billion China-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a significant blow to the United States. It is a clear sign that, amidst deepening global stagnation, the economic mechanisms through which the US has exerted its hegemony are breaking down as other imperialist powers assert their independent interests.
The initial blow came last Thursday when the British government of Prime Minister David Cameron announced that it would become a founding member of the bank. An unnamed White House official responded by denouncing “a trend towards constant accommodation” with China that was “not the best way to engage a rising power.”
The US opposition to Britain’s action was underscored by a comment in the Financial Times which noted that in the lexicon of diplomatic rebukes “accommodation” is only one step below “appeasement.”
US opposition proved to be no deterrent, however, as Germany, France and Italy followed the British decision with announcements that they were also seeking to become founding members of the bank.
Other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and South Korea, which refused to sign up after intense US opposition last year, are also actively reconsidering their position. Last October, the Australian government reversed a previous decision to back the bank, following an intervention by US President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. Australia is reportedly now on the verge of announcing its participation.
In remarks to Congress, Lew said Washington’s main concern over the bank, which is seen as a rival to the US-dominated World Bank and the Asia Development Bank led by its ally Japan, is driven by concern over whether it would “adhere to the high standards that the international financial institutions have developed,” protect the rights of workers and the environment and “deal with corruption issues appropriately.”

paging John Perkins........
Are these the same U.S. banks that should have gone bankrupt?!?!?
Yes, the same criminal, corrupt banks that caused the financial crisis of 2008.
A 2011 US Senate report found that leading US banks and investment houses engaged in what amounted to criminal activity, which played a major role in precipitating the 2008 global financial crisis
At least Reagan had the sense to throw over a thousand of these asshats in prison after the S&L crisis. Oh how far we have fallen.

The fed, always wrong, but never in doubt.
That last sentence is so loaded with comedic gold that it's impossible to know where to begin.
Right about now the tribe should be carefully studying the new structure to determine where the levers and controls are and making arrangements to insert tentacles and attach suckers thereto. The US never had anything to do with this except provide a suitable host, which is now near exausted.
The next step for the US is to angle their way into running the new bank. Just like they elbowed their way into leading the ASEAN free trade deal now called TPP.
3 + trillion in US bonds. Hammer meet nail.
This genius has dome more to alienate our former allies than
any other leader. I can't even watch the news anymore as I

Hope you are not. But I trust you know that most ulcers are caused H Pylori and can be permanently cured by antibiotics.

US to join next week.
Heh heh......you owe me a quarter cup of coffee and one computer monitor.
As they hit the sixteenth pole of The Great Race to the Botttom and approach the finish, China, Russia, Austrailia, and Japan have faded back as America has opened up an insurmountable lead, and at the finish, it's America, all alone.....

You could get everyone in your town to come together and decide that skittles are the new money and only skittles will be used for exchange (AIIB) , but you still could not go to a gas station in town and fill up your tank paying with skittles. You might find someone who would give you some dollars for your skittles then buy gas but the exchange rate probably would not be very favorable.
Now if the AIIB forms a Military and kicks some US ASS and wins then they can proclaim that all Global commerce will be PRICED in skittles.
I wouldn't start stacking skittles anytime soon.
Indeed, however, have you seen the velocity of those dollars lately...
"Now if the AIIB forms a Military and kicks some US ASS and wins then they can proclaim that all Global commerce will be PRICED in skittles."
Ummm...where has the U.S. military NOT gotten its ass kicked over the last half-century?
everything the WAR Dept. does is by design, not accident........
Well, THAT'S sure convenient...
now, if you attach interest (usury) to your skittles (MOE) as money scheme, the banksters will rush in and claim it as their own.........
If you give a few elites the sole right to make skittles and kill anyone else who makes skittles....the banksters/politians/military will all join your group.
But you want me to join the military.
cue another tsunami
What the US deserves is a currency crisis.
When a currency crisis occurs the Federal Reserve loses control and we have free-markets once again.
The tough part is pulling that control away from the Federal Reserve.
It's brilliant .... get's Obama off the hook with Hillary .... and think of the fun .... watching Michelle tower over Putin .... her pussy (or whatever she has) .... about mouth level with Putin !
All neo-NAZIS around Europe and Russia will meet this sunday in RUSSIA. Organizer is putin regime party "One Russia".

What nonsense. No one but you believes what you just wrote. In fact, you don't believe it either.
Wrong, you don't understand psychopathic logic.
Its an old trick, from the Occult school (of thought), "Act AS IF." That, along with "Do what thou wilt", is really the 'secret' to all magic.
Is Soros or Nuland paying you .. or are you stupid all on your own . .or just a troll bot with too much time on his hands.
Here's your best buddy, Yatsenyuk, in action. He is to the right of Oleh Tahnybok, the leader of the far right socialist-nationalist party. The CIA advised the name of the party be changed to Svoboda (= 'Freedom') to avoid confusing dumbassess who believe there are no Nazis in Ukraine.

The sooner the rest of the world pulls away from the US Federal Reserve Ponzi the better.
William Dudley can watch his trading screen at the NY fed all he wants while the dollar free-falls. Zimbabwe economics.
They just won't raise rates until forced to. By then it's too late.
Last US default was Aug. 1971. France asked to be paid in gold and cupboard was bare. This time it will be a larger power dictating rules of the game and the US doesn't even have a cupboard.
When the dollar implodes will our creditors accepts payment in Ft. Knoxian gold plated tungsten?
Fuck the US government!
Who are they to tell sovereign nations what they can and can't do? Sounds to me like the last desperate words of a bully on the cusp of falling. The world is in need of new leadership. So sick of these morons in charge, the armchair generals from DC who can't seem to figure out the correlation between their Middle East invasions and the terrorism they're getting.
The empire of chaos is over-extended and over-indebted, but it won't go down without causing some serious damage to the rest of the world.
Dude.....we got rid of Eric Cantor....give us some time here.
The other Eric, Eric Holder, should leave as well.

Japan now is officially a TERRRIST nation, which oppresses its own population and has used chemical weapons for which we have you-tube evidence.
If ever you needed proof the US is not, was not and never has been the "global leader" in anything then this is it.
Rule Britannia - London rules the world. The great banking families infiltrated China through the Hong Kong "hand over" and began organising their shift away from the Western Hemisphere.
The USA - that one, shining beacon of anti-banker hope. The dream barely survived a generation. She's used up, hollowed out, make completely enslaved to the very families she was created to overthrow. All that is left now in this half century plot of retribution is to leave her and her people completely destitute, sick, diseased and dying.
Going to be interesting to see what happens when 3 million trained killers return to find their country was subverted from within.
Absolutely nothing.

This is turning out like a prison riot, all the countries held captive for so long are escaping the US in all directions.....the US guards look overwhelmed!
Thank you round eye for your college education and allowing us to steal all your intellectual property, but we no longer need you. Our education systems and technological capabilities exceed yours and we can now be on our own without your bloated fat decadent selves. Your bankers, which have been ripping us off as well as your own people, are no longer relavant. We look forward to returning to America as your humanitarian crisis will escalate into collapse.

Pretty sure the contract is "until the end of time", or however long it takes to pay off $4trillion in debt when the only currency you have left is literally the sweat of your brow and the blood in your veins.
You know, I keep looking at this like a controlled demolition...
The USSA has planted the dynamite in all the key areas of the building (the economy), they've connected all the wires to the control box...
and now they're at the point where they (USSA) have sounded the alarm for everyone to evacuate the building, before they hit the switch...
In other words, I have a sick feeling that the USSA WARNED EVERYONE TO LEAVE...before they blow this shithouse to smithereens...
I just can't believe that everyone would be allowed to walk away so easily from "the building" without Amerika's consent and blessings...
Just saying.
I don't understand the panic about China and Asia in general. It would seem the Far East needs USA markets more than the USA needs the cheap rubber dogshit from China. It is not as if we are exporting anything but jobs to them. Walmart would take a big hit, as well as the lower income people in the USA. But what would happen if we stop importing? India can absorb only so much, and Europe still fancies itself competing with Asia. This out to be fun to watch. I am going to make some popcorn.
@Holycrap...
The West can't absorb anymore imports from China. We're dead fucking broke!
Personally, I havent stepped into a dollar store in months...I have however been buying stuff (for cheeper) at the church bazaars and Goodwill.
The American market is on life support...Asia is about to pull the plug.
China: 1,393,783,836 inhab - Age average: 35,2
India: 1,267,401,849 inhab - Age average: 25,9
Russia: 142,467,651 inhab - Age average: 38,5
Brazil: 202,033,670 inhab - Age average: 30,5
That only: 3.005.866.006 inhab
Age average: 32,52
Europe's age average is around 45, US, 38, Canada, 42... More or less...
Think about that data.
Either USA come to its senses or it start WWIII fucking the whole World. Everything is possible, considering what they've done even to America's own population (as 9/11).
So in a way, USA has his saying yet.
