Zimbabwe Bashes US Dollar, Alligns With Yuan
It was three short years ago that the small former British colony of Zimbabwe was spewing forth 100 trillion dollar bills. Since then, courtesy of a few trillion extra percent of inflationary RDA, the country had given up on its currency and replaced it with US Dollars. Now, the country's cult central banker Gideon Gono has made it clear he wishes to avoid another episode of transplant currency hyperinflation courtesy of his counterpart in the Marriner Eccles building and "has warned that Zimbabwe’s nascent economic recovery is at the mercy of the United States dollar, which is facing new pressures from the Euro-zone debt crisis." Yet the screaming sarcasm is the following: "Gono says Zimbabwe should in fact be looking to the Chinese yuan as its main currency, while urgently seeking to restore its own currency which was abandoned in 2009 after a dramatic loss of its value. With the continuous firming of the Chinese yuan, the US dollar is fast ceasing to be the world's reserve currency and the Euro-Zone debt crisis has made things even worse." And the terminal slap in the face of all that is American: "As a country, we still have the opportunity to avoid being caught napping by adopting the Chinese yuan as part of consolidating the country's look East policy." Well, if recently hyperinflating Zimbabwe is complaining about the US as being on the same path as itself, and instead wants to become a Chinese FX vassal state, perhaps alarm bells should go off somewhere. So the next time Tim Geithner is up on stage somewhere, it may be prudent for a question to be be asked: how and why is it that the world's (formerly) de facto banana republic is complaining that the next up and coming B-Rep is about to replace it in the annals of idiotic monetary policy?
From New Zimbabwe:
Speaking in Gweru last Saturday, Gono said: “The extraordinary happenings in Europe where economic power houses in the Euro-zone have been hit by a debt crisis deserves extraordinary measures, especially here in Zimbabwe where we have adopted the U dollar as the major currency in our multi-currency regime.
China is now Zimbabwe’s biggest trading partner, with the Asian giant absorbing most of the country’s mineral and agricultural produce.
Vice President Joice Mujuru first raised the possibility of adopting the yuan in September last year, saying it would be a “logical step” and could help solve some of the country’s liquidity constraints.
The multiple currency regime announced in January 2009 has been fraught with difficulties. Retailers are supposed to accept the Euro and the British pound but those two currencies have never caught on, with most transactions being conducted in United States dollars, the South African rand and the Botswana pula.
Finance Minister Biti presented his 2012 budget last week and expects the multiple currency regime to remain in place at least until the end of 2012 when ministers hope it would be replaced by a single currency for the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).
Gono, speaking at theConfederation of Zimbabwe Industries' (CZI) end-of-year business dinner, said the use of foreign currency was ultimately unsustainable in the long run.
“As long as we continue to use other people's currencies, where we do not have control over that currency, we are not going anywhere as a nation,” he said.
So all sarcasm aside, perhaps someone should be concerned that while the US is enjoying the third year of endless political bickering and deciding if this political candidate or that has had enough illicit sex, while rapidly losing all foreign influence, China is quietly but forcefully taking over the world precisely in the way that the US did in the 20th century: by becoming a primary trading partner, regionalizing its currency, and finally, a step that yet to occur, establishing CNY-denominated debt.
Does anyone still doubt what the endgame is?

Wha? Zimbabwe doesn't like competition in money printing?
At least the US-built printing press lasts a lot longer than a Chinese-built one!
Nothing shows restraint in printing quite like a panhandling billionaires in Zimbabwe.
Funny how people think Chinese politicians are any more competent and trustworthy than Bush or Obama.
Well, in China they execute folks who fuck up: or those folks know enough to execute themselves. In the US when BIG folks fuck up they get praised.
As far as who is the US Court Jester (POTUS), it doesn't fucking matter.
Praised - and bailed out.
Hank "Rocket Jump" Paulson
In China, they execute folks who get CAUGHT.
in the US, they get promoted and bonuses.
Yes, that is so true. Yet, MOST of Americans think the U.S. of A. has the Best system in the world. LOL
uh, NO.
In China they execute people who cause TROUBLE for higher ups.
They do not CARE if you engage in fraud; the entire fucking NATION from top to bottom is all about fraud. They do not care if you get "caught" either. They ONLY care if you cause them to lose face. THEN you get executed. Or if you have something they want.
It speaks volumes about voter disenfranchisement actually.
Like the ballot boxes matter anymore. Sincerely, hanging chad.
POINT. MISSED. It doesn't MATTER if they're "more competent." What matters is who is still SOLVENT at the end of the day.
What matters is they HAVE A PLAN, and it's CLEARLY being executed, while we worry about ABORTIONS, gay rights, and who Lindsay Lohan is tonguing this week--they are POSITIONING themselves as a BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO OUR whole little fiat-based popsicle stand: and it's not based on stupid-assed BULLSHIT like skin tone or religion--it's based on RESOURCES--AND WHO CONTROLS THEM.
"Welcome to math class. We're doing NUMBERS up in heah, son."
Zimbabwe? Who cares what that country of whores does? They change with the wind.
Zimbabwe...lol.
Rhodesia was a successful country, but we just...can't...talk...about...that, can we?
RSA was similarly successful...seems that Africa isn't so inhospitable after all. Seems like it is mineral rich if you know what a fuckin mineral is useful for. Kinda hard to do that if your average IQ is 70, you lack the written word, mechanical devices, and the frickin wheel.
I was born in Nigeria. My Dad was in charge of agricultural produce marketing for the whole country for several years. Nigeria then was stable, prosperous, and had an exportable food surplus. Of course they kicked us out. Look at the friggin' place now.
The US press was manufactured in Taiwan.
I think you're confusing the press with the parts on NASA's space shuttle.

...And the "black' people didn't do a THING to stop white men from fucking themselves(and our society) in the ass with their mindless greed: don't forget to blame'em for THAT too.But what have you got in mind to insult the little yellow motherfuckers (who will soon own the planet) with? They already KNOW what color they are--and they DON'T CARE.
...they JUST KEEP STACKING. And taking more squares on the big board.

ZH didn't pick it up, 'cause no-one is investing down there. Regional bias n all]
There was inflation in the gold trade in Zimbabwe even after the Zim-dollar collapsed. Nothing much to buy in Zimbabwe with any currency.
China actually in the grip of hyperinflation, Gono is as useless as Barton Biggs.
Zim is a naturally wealthy country but everything has been stolen by horrible government.
wasn't a problem when white people were in charge.
Oops, did I just utter a hate fact again?
Right, as if the Chinese won't be forced into blatant monetization.
Fix it to Gold, or forget about it.
This is why i'm not so gun ho about shorting the euro. Our currency is just as screwed.

3-ply works best for me.
It hasn't ended well for the last two countries (Libya & Syria) that sided against the Bank of International Settlement. NATO no fly zone over Zimb next year
Might as well, China owns Zimbabwe.
You have to admit though, it is a challenge to determine which financial system of the two is least immoral and corrupt.
the chinese won't be happy with the decsion. they wanted to blow their pile o dollars as fast as they, but zimbabwe wants to get paid in yuan instead

China 'hiding up to 3,000 nuclear warheads in secret tunnels'The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Georgetown University students under the instruction of a former Pentagon official have assembled the largest body of public knowledge yet about a vast network of secret tunnels dug by China's secretive Second Artillery Corps, responsible for nuclear warheads.
Oh no... that's it.. US will have a war with China. US won't stand any threat to the world reserve currency.
US bombs over US factories (operated in China)?
Nah, not good for stocks...
Just returning much of the bomb components to their homeland.
Maybe they are looking for a Mouse that Roared situation.

Bernanke and the Fed keep sucking in trash debt. Bernake and the fed are looking more like the black hole of the financial garbage heap.
Why would anyone have any fiscal responsibility when they know Bernanke and the Federal Reserve will be there to bail them out. Just keep cooking your bank/treasury books and Bernanke will just keep sucking in the garbage debt.
With Bernanke and the federal reserve fraud is encouraged. Just cook your bank/countries books and wait for the US federal reserve to bail you out. In the mean time siphone those funds to private assets overseas.
Bernanke and the Ferderal Reserve are arrogant and think they can do this forever. Let's see how long they can keep the ponzi going.

china is not stupid, yet now we'll see US troops sent over, as was done in Aussieland!
Zimbabwe inherited one of the strongest and most complete industrial infrastructures in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as rich mineral resources and a strong agricultural base.
who built that infrastructure?
And what did the new owners promptly do with it?
Wait, is this another hate fact?
We're all equal, because...well, because the MSM and public schools all say we are.
Do they actually conduct their domestic trade with our green bills?
Like argentina and peru in the early 90's, first thing you do is find a street exchange bidder usually right next to the bank.
100 Peruian Sols for a single USD at the bank.
650 Peruian Sols for a single USD with the guys on the street.
So the exchanges rates posted world wide if there is a healthy black market are usually WAY off. Sometimes the local or foreign currency isn't enough and an exchange has to be made someone elses debt.
Any large branch of major bank in China with have money changers sitting in the lobby. they don't even try to hide it -- I have never seen an attempt at discression. They will trade RMBs for Dollars and visa versa -- the banks even have cash counting machines for people to use in the lobby. These are NOT bank officers or tellers.
There are limitations on how many RMBs people can send out of China during a given year, so people convert to USDs then take them to the window and transfer them out.
Happens every day all over the place. Litterally brown paper sacks of cash exchanged in plain view with a bank gaurd standing in the corner and bank officials running around as normal.
Not making this shit up.
bbbut...bbbut...they SHOOT people in China!!!!!!1
Apparently they didn't get the memo that says confronting USD supremacy AND having OIL means certain DEATH.
Now watch China push buttons elsewhere, behind the scenes. As long as they're actually paying for resources I figure that they'll have the upper-hand (more countries will realize that they'd rather have stuff to trade than be "occupied").
yepper.
Apparently they didn't get the memo that says confronting USD supremacy AND having OIL means certain DEATH.
Correct when one or two at a time challenges the US. However, at the rate the Bernank prints and the Jeetner borrows and the Obummer blows, the day will come when 100 countries refused to accept FRN on the same day. By then even military intervention wouldn't change a thing
Bingo.This will happen more frequently now.
own gold and trade it in for dirt cheap stock after the markets crashes..it really is that simple
"dirt cheap stock" will be worth exactly that- DIRT!
Please note that DIRT is NOT SOIL, which is infinitely more valuable.
I am picking up $20k dollars worth of Yuan in 2012 for a late 2013 revaluation trade opportunity. China becoming the worlds currency peg is a feature not a bug. One will want Forex in America as an additional hedge if you plan on staying. I expect between a 500-600% return. But don't hang onto it past 2014.
Mandraking to a new host nation after the value is stripped from a culture is part of the CB model. A major problem now is mandraking entire blocs of countries either East or West. The cultures would probably take another two or three decades to harmonize even with Interwebs and rapid information sharing.
Beans, bullions and bullets are for the break down of supply chains. This is wise to keep preparing slowly but surely. MENA geopitical risk for Q2 of 2013. Once that regional confrontation settles down, expect another one in 2015 in Korea and emulating out to WW3. By 2021 it will be over and a new high time for man will emerge. Much will need to be rebuilt. Practice leadership at the local level and get your community prepared. Good training for when the entire nation will neer to be rebuilt...
Wait, Zimbabwe has a central bank?
Sure. It's name is "Mugabe".
I mena, it is a sad day when I am almost rooting for China here. I mean, obv it would suck if they were to have a gold standard backed currency, or tried to revive itself to Res Currency status, because that would mean war, which would mean bad shot.
But the "leaders" of both our economic and political systems are failing us, they aren't listening, and won't, because they short term benefit by fucking both its citizens and other countries in their respective assholes. But blowback is a bitch, and it probably won't come from the US citizens, who are either too distracted, busy from their corporate job which demands 50-80 hour work weeks, or have grown too apathetic (and stupid) to give a shit.
That's why I root for China, even if they way they run their country is draconian, and the fact they also are doing what they are doing because their OWN citizens are getting fed up with their shit wages, and unlike pacified US citizens, those motheruckers rile shit up when they have a cause.
BTW, if you want an OLO of the the day, just look at this chart on Nonfarm Biz Sector Labor wage scale:
http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/PRS85006173?cid=32351
China's NOT going to magically do the correct thing(s): their system is also stratified and is a grow-only system. It will be Mother Nature that ultimately reins things in.
Newsflash:
American <=> China now.
The ethos of business behind both of their flags is the same. Apart from the bit where Chinese people really do believe they're better than other races... and the USA has to look at the evidence of 50 years of the most wealth and look all shameful. Even your MBAs suck ass. Not to mention that huge 40% obesity rate. I mean... fatty meat is horrible, unless you put it into a stew for 4 hours, and even then... it is hardly fine dining, is it?

Well, we at least know who has all the rights to their natural resources.
does it really mattter if Zimbabwe aligns their currency with the Chinese Yuan since the Chinese Yuan is pegged to the US Dollar?
what a bunch of hogwash this story is....like it matters!
The Chinese aren't even willing to free float their currency! if the Chinese free floated their currency or pegged it to Gold, then we'd have a much bigger story....
but China will never peg the Yuan to gold, because the USA has something called HAARP.....China just has to look to the tsunami/earthquake destroyed Japan to see what will happen to them if they dare to desert the US Dollar for gold.....
I was thinking the same thing.
China is a paper tiger, in my opinion....sure they have some gold mines, but they have little other natural resources.....and demographically, due to their one child policy, they are an accident waiting to happen....
and the fact that all of their wealth so disparate between the coast and inland part of china presents real socio economic issues for them.....and the fact that the mjority of their plant capacity is on the coast of China is a very bad for them given the current weaponry of the US military
China knows all of this...the US knows all of this....it's irrelevant whether Zimbabwe alignes their currency to the USD or the Yuan because those 2 currencies are basically the same and run by the same group of people which consists of the US Fed, the IMF, the ECB, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan and the Bank of China..... they are all aligned as evidenced by yesterday's coordinated actions by all of these groups including the Bank of China...it makes me laugh watching people on CNBC try to claim that the Chinese interest rate cut was not coordinated with the reduction in the Fed US dollar currency swap lines......
so it doesn't matter that Zimbabwe aligns with Chinese Yuan...it just doesn't matter
"sure they have some gold mines, but they have little other natural resources.."
Been saying that for years! Same goes for India.
Please strap yourselves in, we're now leaving the virtual world and entering the physical world...
Peg? One day that'll go away.
Demographics? Who isn't struggling with this one?
Rare earths?
Not to mention another ten minerals that China has that everyone else doesn't. Look at your mobile phone. Look at Africa. Look at China. Shit ain't happening without their involvement. (American fields of rare earths do not contain pure elements, and Australian ones have geophis issues).
Here's a fun thought experiment: 40 years of Communism to bring a country into a modern industrialised standard (not involved in WWII, barring Japan, and no large scale industrial action there unlike Russia) cost 40 million lives. In a population (even doing the "correct thing" and paring down birth to a 2:1 ratio) of over a billion. Now making the entire world's (note: other TEZ have succeeded, but lack the focus) tech.
Now look at the USA: 320 million people, 40% obese, 10% hipster, 49 million (or 15%) on SNAP and so on and so forth. 0.01% own it all, and still can't get a fucking laptop made without dealing with China.
Objectively speaking... I know where my money is. It is on the lean, hungry and 3:1 ratio. Blame your Corporations, because no-one else profited so much over making your herd useless and weak. Oh, and the USA has about 20% "management" class, who are more than useless. Roladex this, mother-fucker.

Rots of ruck making money in China if you are buying stocks. Sure, growth is fantastic but no profits accrue to those not connected to CP unless as part of some larger plan to rip people off.
At least 10 million Chinese died as a direct result of WW2, and 23 million died in the USSR
china has vast gold mines! so china digs gold out of ground, stashes it on the side, not to interfere with PM markets, which would dive if more gold was added to the system! china is not stupid, far from!
Meh, Gono has as much credibility as Bernanke.
Ben: "et tu Zimbabwe ?...."

Hollow fucking threats. Jump on the 'Look East Policy' and invite more Chinese into your country sounds like a winner.
Another disgruntled worker said, “We are now slaves in our own country at the hands of our new colonisers. The government is watching while we are being mistreated. When we reported the Chinese to the Labour court, Tarumbwa backed the Chinese.”

Potential starting place for a currency backed by real products and services like Digital Coin. Consider a currency that is backed by value and delivery of tangable assets not debt and the promiss of slaves paying more taxes.
Since when is Zimbabwe worthy of anything but derision? Must be a slow news day, eh Tyler?
The Chineese are simply collecting their debt the Zimbabweans owed after China was a major funding agent of the overthrow of the Republic of Rhodesia.
we are all zimbabwe.

It would be funny if not so sad. The elite Zimbos are selling Zimboland lock stock & barrel to the Chinese. The Chinese will exploit the country to an extent that will make the white man's exploitation seem most benign. The price will be paid by the masses. Funnily enough, Zimbabwe is already littered end to end with countless railway locomotives, aircraft and buses that don't work and have been scrapped. Mugable & co think they are spiting the west and the white man by cosying up to China. Good luck to them.
What China is doing makes perfect sense. China is a resource poor nation. Africa is a resource rich nation.
The whites came to Africa, plundered and took slaves--think the Aficans have forgotten?
In the 1420's Zheng He (during the Ming Dynasty) travelled to Africa.
The Chinese Ambassador to South Africa told the Africans in 2007:
"Zheng too to the places he visited (in Africa) tea, chinaware, silk and technology. He did not occupy a square inch of land, nor did he take a single slave. What he brought to the outside world was peace and civilization. This fully reflects the good faith of the ancient Chinese people in strengthening exchanges with relevant countries and their people."
China is doing it right--plain and simple. Their attitude is not one of dominant force. Add to this the enormous movement of Chinese immigrants to African countries. Eventually Africa will not become a vassal state, it will become a tributory state and sadly I suspcet it will be far fairer and more democratic than anything that the whites ever offered.
foxenburg I respectfully disagree--the trading relationship with China will likely be a win/win one.
I suggest that you read: When China Rules the World by Martin Jacques, a book that gives tremendous insight to the mult-thousand year history of the Chinese and how it is likely to affect their (and our) future.
jewish faces in the chinese government. who was it that started communism in china?

who took a loser (mao ) and made him chairman? etc etc etc.......
china does what a small clique there want them to do and that is the end of this discussion. period........
Well, Africa's a big place, we are specifically talking about Zimbabwe. Only just over a hundred years ago Salisbury wasn't much more than a flag pole, so there certainly wasn't any slavery. By the late seventies it had become an industrial, mining and agricultural powerhouse. Everyone was well fed, employed and educated. Without question white rule was patronising and they figured they knew what was best and that the blacks would cock it up. The idea was that there would be a gradual transfer of power, which was happening, but not fast enough for the likes of Mugabe and Nkomo. Enter the Russian and Chinese communists who, with the assistance of Jimmy Carter, funded and equipped a terrorist civil war. Mugabe came out on top and the rest is history. Of course, the denouement came as no surprise to white Rhodesians. Mugabe's rule has been more rascist than Ian Smith's ever was....and of course, South Africa tacitly supports him because the masses in South Africa also like the idea of land confiscation, etc.
btw, I meant to say that the unserviceable junk trains, planes, buses, tractors strewn from Vic Falls to Beitbridge are all Chinese made.
....aand here's where the Chinse WIN THE GAME OUTRIGHT. is there an APPLAUSE button here?
"Why BOTHER with the Westerners who treat you with contempt and simply rob you?" The Chinese are playing the LOOONG game. the same way they always have.
"Art of War," bitchez.
Look out longer into the horizon. China is on the rise and the U.S. is on the wane. It may take 10-50 years but China will own Africa and most of SE Asia and will proceed to colonize them and draw produce therefrom.
As I've been pounding the desk about for years, the PRC is the only country in the world ready, willing and able to colonize in the old-fashioned sense. They can move lots of their Han people into an area and reconstruct it in their image. It is an opportunity for the new settlers.
China's rulers think in larger spans of time. We barely manage 4 years. The U.S. is on the wane as a power. We just got the guns now. This bank thing is just a bump in China's road.

HERESY. BURN THE WITCH. SHE IS NOT AMERICAN. PLEDGE TO THE FLAG....UNDER GOD AND CORPORATE NATIONHOOD. YOU ARE FREE, YOU ARE FREE. YOU ARE FREE.
While the rest of the world wonders how, politely, we can eradicate you stupid mother fuckers. No, really.
We do.
The other 60% is broken up into 25% military personnel, 20% SNAP / homeless cases, 5% financial sociopaths, 4% religious pastures and 1% evil mother fuckers running the gaff. Not to mention the huge swathes of 50% coverage of asinine and totally ignorant Religious belief thrown across those classes.
And Hipsters sure as shit ain't helping your cause.

Your society is total scum, and has polluted the rest of the world. You have about 5% decent humans amongst you. Prepare for some culling. And yes, your society lasted less than 200 years, and boy did we regret it. Dealing with your case history is like an eternity in "paedophile priests". Holy hellfire... how fucking wrong did the USA get it.
If you think Europe crashing is a fun ride, wait for the next 6 months. Hung up about sex, permissive about violence, intolerant about religion, Corporately indoctrinated to not be able to have independent thought... Scum.

Oh, and yes. That flu virus is for you, my pretties.
I live here in America UoW. The ratio of scum in any nation always seems to be about a third. In America, it is every other person but it does vary a little from state to state. Inflation vastly outsripping wages over a decade creates desperation and the people steal the difference from their employers. Since 70% of US is small business, the result is restrained hiring.
People here have lost quite a bit of weight here, especially over the last year. You must still think it is 2007. Sure, the 20% SNAP crowd can still buy boxes of twinkies but I do believe in 2013 that these cards will be limited to certain kinds of proteins and pasta only, much like the UK now for welfare instead of $800 pounds a month.
Last, the entire world loses now UoW. The age of empires is ending after several thousand years of them. America was the most benevolent empire in history but it was still a short-lived empire. Your comment reflects coming triangulation from EU, China and Russia against America. Nine total specific countries began this plan in 1998. This game has been expected. The choices of this triumvate will be different than what you may expect.
Between now and a decade is an eternity in politics. Some national leaders are considering how it will change and if protecting certain individuals are worth entire cities/populations. The need for growth and trade will always supercede the need for revenge. But I am not ignorant of the reality that a couple global leaders feel differently.
