the IMF/WBank has rules about forming a currency that is backed by hard metal
such as gold & silver
Sinclair only confirmed my vague understanding on this point

so if lowly Botswana wants a gold-backed currency, they are excluded from IMF lending
and if the oil-rich nations together with neighbors choose to build a more effective and healthy banking system, they will be excluded from ours
our bad money has pushed out the better money, it would seem

in order to receive IMF credit extensions, the nation must fully participate in the unbacked dollar dominated scheme
if you deviate toward strength, you are nixed
uncooperative dollarized players are not welcome

MESSAGE CLEAR: ONLY THOSE WILLING TO FINANCE THE MASSIVE US TRADE AND TREASURY DEBTS ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE

like bringing real money to the Monopoly Game Board
NO NEED
you can buyPark Place with that goofy colored money

this brings a loud exclamation point to Gresham's Law
BAD MONEY ALWAYS PUSHES OUT GOOD MONEY


hilariously true maxim, that is official IMF policy
if some fool accepted bullshit printed "money" for a house or mine or men's suit or gallon of milk or tank of gasoline, by all means give it to him
AND KEEP THAT GOLD COIN IN THE BEDROOM WALL VAULT !!!

doesnt anyone realize that printed money converges in value to ZERO ???
find an exception in all of history, I defy you
