Looks like a grand new thread you have put together. Thanks. Bookmarked.
On a different but related theme is the documentary I mentioned earlier.
No need to go into the intricacies of Afghanistan.
Are Petrodollars responsible for big international banks becoming "super national" i.e, not reporting to any government. Thus creating a world wide slavery system with Wahhabistic overtones, and full of graft and corruption ? That graft and corruption spreading back into National governments, world wide.

I notice over the years, UK Members of Parliament (MP's) make statements in the house like "it's above my pay grade" etc. From my perspective that is bollocks; They are voted in and the are supposed to represent the voters.

In October 2000, Saddam Hussein did attempt to alter the petrodollar system when he announced that Iraq would sell oil in euros, not dollars. By February 2003, he had sold 3.3 billion barrels of oil for 26 billion euros. With his French and German trading partners, the “petroeuro” was born, which if expanded would help a euro market develop against lots of other currencies, boosting the euro’s strength and eroding the dollar’s exorbitant privilege. But one month later, the U.S., aided by the United Kingdom, invaded Iraq and overthrew Saddam. By June, Iraq was back to selling oil in dollars again.
Did America go to war to defend the petrodollar? This possibility is almost never discussed in retrospective analyses of the war, which tend to fixate on questions of Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction stockpile, human rights abuses or terror links. "
