No, Wall Street regime has been poking, and we've been cowering due to our military inability to take the offensive against their pirate ships.
It's great for business. As long as Wall Street regime has an iron grip on its petrodollars and we're dependent on easily choked off nonrenewable resources we will be forced to continue paying protection money to this global mafia. However, in the past decade we've been increasing our independence from foreign oil due to our increases in nuclear and solar power, as well as electric propulsion such as high speed trains, and even more, our policy of slowly phasing out the petrodollar with currency swaps to major trade partners. This is turning up the heat in Washington and on Wall Street, and you can see they've been denouncing our currency policy.
Hypocrites, of course. When China was weak in the 90's, our currency was 8:1 and they loved it because they could get dirt cheap goods from us while their exports remained sky high in price. Now our currency rises to 6.5:1 and they're crying? Bullsh*t. They just want China to undergo suicidal shock therapy like Japan and Russia did.
