China Gloats

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It would appear de-dollarization among America's "allies" is accelerating...

Most of the 46 nations are here...

 

And while Washington has proclaimed Russia as "isolated", we wonder what the AIIB applications makes America?

 

 

As Simon Black concluded previously, this "greatest of all rotations" should not be a surprise...

Blackmail. Extortion. Intimidation. This isn’t the behavior of a trusted friend. It’s the behavior of an arrogant sociopath.

 

And the rest of the world is sick of it.

 

Other countries—even allied nations—see that times are changing. There are new players on the rise, and the US isn’t the only option anymore.

 

Increasingly they’re turning to China, who, by some metrics, is already the largest economy in the world.

 

And the US government can’t do anything about it.

 

This is happening now with increasing speed. It’s mainstream news everywhere: the US is being shunned by its allies for the new kid on the block.

 

This has major implications for the United States. History shows that when reserve currencies change, the losing country almost invariably goes through significant turmoil.

 

But here’s the thing—the world is changing. But it’s not coming to an end.

 

Yes, things will change dramatically in the West in the coming years.

 

The standard of living that was attainable in the US because of its economic dominance will diminish.

 

For cues, look to Europe to see how unsustainable policies unravel when you don’t have the backing of the world’s reserve currency.

 

But people who recognize and embrace these changes early will prosper, for there will be tremendous opportunities throughout this process.

So......I guess we're supposed to celebrate the opening up of more Global banks to serve new shills on the other side of the globe?

When it all comes down to the nut cutting will they be any different than the IMF or other such banks?

Just more bankers to siphon off the wealth of the "mere mundanes".

Somehow I don't feel exceptional anymore knowing we won't be the only one's getting fleeced by our new debt lords.

Canada?   Harper the Pawn is "considering".  Harper the DC drone in Ottawa is weighing his options for theft and sellout.  Harper the court jester is just that.

 

Heaven help this country if Harper is not thrown out on his ear.  (but he will land with private deals and Board appts. ).. never ends,  Canada has so much and there are 4 sale signs on every border.

All economies are about to blow.  Nobody wants to be the bad guy and cause it until they can do so and survive to thrive but the longer they wait the hard it will be.  Hence the urban combat drills.  They must figure they will have to fight Moscow or us.  Either way, there will be urban combat so they train.

“Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank” has a nice ring to it. “Infrastructure investment” sounds like honest uplifting business to me as opposed to the “American Empire of Debt” via the Federal Reserve of global bankster “vampire octopus on the face of mankind”: A global totalitarian financial operation of debt servitude.

In reply to cigarengineer:

World War is inevitable; the totalitarian bankster Washington Empire of debt is in complete control of the USA. The Washington criminals will blow up the world rather than be brought to Justice.

The NSA is an extension of Professor Nash’s “Game Theory” with advanced computer technology “technocracy” which is the “dream come true” for the Washington Empire of totalitarian bankster fascist (merger of corporate monopoly with government).

The Washington Empire NSA is an arm of the bigger global bankster “vampire octopus on the face of mankind” totalitarian financial operation of debt servitude.

Americans are 60 Trillion dollars in debt to whom, the criminal banksters? The American Empire of debt didn’t just happen and no one in the Fed saw it coming; it was planned by the Washington criminal Rockefeller banksters via the Council on Foreign Relations and their traitor puppets in Congress.

Prosecute the criminals for treason, cancel the criminal debt and therefor save ourselves and the rest of the world from the criminal debt and world war.

Americans will regain the respect from the rest of the world by returning to business and dissolving the Federal Reserve. You kill the vampire octopus by cutting its beak out and it can do no more damage; than the octopus dies and you eat him.

The public executions for treason, televised to the rest of the world to prove that we are serious, will be widely received and cheered on as we chop the totalitarian, incurable psychopathic, criminal’s heads off.

China is gloating?  Is this bank going to bail out their industrial expansion funded by the cheap exports of worthless plastic toys to the US?  No they won't, they'll use it as a political token for those non-asian leaders willing to exploit their country and its citizens for a short term monetary gain.

This won't help Chinese citizens, it won't help the poor in the Eurasia region.  Just another fucking dumb political stunt by a concentrated (rich) group of people hungry for more power.  They'll do no better than the IMF, world bank, nato etc.  This is a USA strat implemented by the next super power.

Same shit over and over again.  Can't they at least get creative in their intent to control the world?

China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB): U.S. Asian, European “Allies” Pivot away from Washington

TND Guest Contributor: Wayne Madsen

President Barack Obama’s much-heralded "Pivot to Asia" lies in tatters as European and Asian "allies" of the United States march away from the heavily U.S.-influenced Asian Development Bank (ADB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF), as well as the American-led World Bank, to join China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). The latest U.S. "ally" to ignore warnings from Washington about Beijing’s intentions in establishing the bank is South Korea. Previously, the United Kingdom shocked Washington by announcing that it would join the AIIB, the first of America’s NATO partners to announce such a move. The British were soon followed by France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and Germany in signing up for the AIIB.

It amazes me how many people are so anti FED that they are chearing for the same thing to happen to the Chinese people. It aint going to be the dollar that loses out until the Chinese unpeg their currency. Then well just have two oligarchys left the owners of the FED and the owners of the PBOC. Eventually the two will merge into one as the families that own everything marry each other like the European royalty did for centuries before the 2 world wars.
