I've got to run, but until I see the actual C&R document, it sounds to me like Tinfoil Hat Productions.

 

Someone should look up how much Treasury debt Russia actually holds of ours - relative to Chian & Japan, I would guess its a pittance, and pales in comparison to, say, the Gulf states.

 

If I am correct in that guess, I think it would draw into doubt the legitimacy of that document and its claims.

Fine. No one wants to do my homework, I'll do it....

 

 

Here's a list of foreign holders od U.S. Treasurys, from, umm, a questionably-reputable source:

 

http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt

 

January 2008, Russian held $35 Billion.

 

Effing Japan & China held $486B & $492B, respectively.

 

Gulf States (a.k.a., "Oil Exporters") held $140.9B.

 

As someone who's done the D.C. thing, that C&R document smelled bogus to me. To its core.

I was wrenching on my car car all day...sorry.

 

...butt now that I have a moment...thanx for the fine investigative reporting.

 

Japan has a loyal and fanatic baseball following.

 

When China fields a world class baseball team

 

...we'll know they acknowledge and appreciate the term play ball.

 

...for an old friend.

 

straight from my ass...I swear.

if Kali has Promised to pay out, via Pensions Promised, x Zillion in the future, but Kali ends up having 0.20 x instead of 3.0 x in the future, then they will have a problem paying.

once the majority of pensionless and benefitless private sector workers with wages grinding inexorably toward third world levels,

 

realize how bad they're being screwed by the (large) minority of pensioned and benefited public sector workers,

 

they will vote to chop those public sector workers and cancel their pensions

 

teachers are already on the chopping block in Kali

Could be done like that frog in the milk...

beat me to it

 

that's the key

 

devalue slowly enough to not cause panic

 

fast enough to gently screw the dollar holders

 

the U.S. gov't has been doing this for decades to its own citizens who earn their wages in dollars

 

now they're doing it to China and Japan

 

still, it's in the interest of China and Japan to continue buying U.S. paper because the U.S. is their best customer and wants to pay in dollars; it's also in their interest to support the currency

 

and so it goes.......

 

......slowly, that's the key

 

sloe gin, Southern Comfort, orange juice

 

with a little ice to keep it cool

[shorty]

the dollar will fall slowly versus other currencies, butt gold will go up fast

 

because it snot just an inverse-of-the-dollar play

 

it's a speculative aSSet bubble in its own right

 

gold will go up versus all currencies

 

thimk!

I have no idea whether it is real or not - the document - but you Doc never liked such - undocumented posts - what happened?

 

BTW - they threatened us by war? how would it make us pay our debt? I think that war reference makes the document look phishy.

Color me skeptical, too. The last way to get a country to pay its debt is to go 'C' on it. Soup will be balls out long the Nasdaq and 200% short gold before Japan and China become allies. Those wounds are not superficial.

I got this from a well connected individual I correspond with. It comes from the Wayne Madsen report, and it echoes some of the worst fears I have expressed here and in Radio Free Wall Street podcasts regarding the collapse of US government finances.

I am one of those folks who thinks it may be possible that this was the plan of China all along...maybe I read too much Nyquist.
