BWAHAHA! That got you riled Yiwu - and I wasn't even trying to do that - just get some objective feedback from General Chen really what he thought about those reports. On the patent database - we opened up and let you rob us blind - are you going to share all your stuff with us in return? The guy with LIftport group talked to me last year and said the asians were making some good progress on carbon nanotubes in how long they were making them - about 1 foot longer than research labs in the west because they just threw so much money and people at that one specific problem - and then when they thought they were ahead of the USA people they shut their doors - that not gonna fly in my book - I will give every resource I can find to support my evil gubbement to hurt you if that is how you want to play - hehe. I guess it doesn't matter, you already admit CIA jackals running the show over there - give up - you never gonna be better crooks than we are - we the BEST - go watch USUAL suspects - that the kind of devils we produce - you guys a joke when it comes to being a crook. Like Richard Benson say - we pulled off the biggest central bank hiest in history - got you dumb suckers to take all that green worthless paper while we live la vida loca on your backs. financialsense.com The Asians remain shocked and in disbelief. Just when Japan, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong had accumulated enough dollars to buy oil to keep them warm for many winters, it’s all over. In broad daylight, the Americans and OPEC cheered as the price of oil popped up from $30 a barrel to over $50 a barrel. Indeed, this jump in the price of oil increases the world’s daily oil consumption bill of 84 million barrels a day to $4.2 billion, from $2.5 billion (or $1.5 Trillion a year from $900 billion). The world now has to shell out an additional $600 billion a year of “lucky bucks” to the oil producing countries just to stay in motion. That’s quite a tribute to pay! The bigger shock, however, is in the devaluation of dollar holdings of United States’ Treasury debt. The rise in oil prices guarantees that the value of the dollar will be pushed down even further and stay down! Now that China is the number 2 oil importer and Japan is number 3 – with the rest of Asia very thirsty for oil as well – you can understand why the Asians must find a way to protect themselves. The American strategy for using oil to finance our deficit is, of course, brilliant. Our elected officials knew that at some point those independent foreign central banks would start getting edgy about buying more dollars to pay for America’s war and deficits. (The $650 Billion trade deficit is threatening the dollar.) So, which central banks can America continue to use as the fall guys to buy the dollar? Why not the Gulf Oil states, but where would they get the dollars to buy U.S. Treasuries? Well, with the Chinese piling up dollars and growing like crazy, at some point the oil market had to tighten. It was only a matter of time before the Chinese would start bidding up the price of oil. The Asians, therefore, are hung out to dry when the price of oil rises because they have to spend more of their dollars on oil. As the price of oil goes up, extra money floods into the Gulf Oil Kingdoms. With our Secretary of Defense putting troops all over the ground in the Middle East, and those nimble aircraft carriers are near by and ready to deliver the “shock and awe of sudden democracy” to the Gulf Monarchs, it’s a sure bet that America’s OPEC buddies will stash their newly found Asian lucky bucks into good old American Treasury Notes. With such a simple policy to fund our deficit for another year, it’s no wonder America can get by without any brain power at the Treasury Department. In effect, America and our Gulf Arab allies just pulled off the biggest central bank heist in the history of the world. The price of oil just went up 60 percent or more, which really cuts down to size those $3.4 trillion of net foreign holdings of U.S. financial assets. As a loyal American, we would like to cheer our government’s deft move to pick the pockets of our trading and financing partners. Moreover, America gets the Arabs to fund a large share of our deficit, subsidize our interest rates, and help keep our taxes low for another year! Surely, I can afford to buy another gas-guzzling Sport Ute, get a rifle, and wave a flag! Iran said we need a punch in the mouth and Chavez said all americans oppressed - this make megacorp military so happy because there lots of oil in both those countries and why be thier friends and have to share the spoils when we can make them the enemy - come in - take the oil - and boot them to the curb - we are so mean aren't we? You have more honor than us Yiwu - nice guys finish last though. I have tried to remain nuetral, but I see that is fruitless - you keep attacking ME - I said I found the link on USENET - just wanted to verify if it had any merit - you are so blinded by pride or hate or whatever you immediately start saying YOU - attacking me - Don't make me push the button and galvanize - hehe. Complaining to my congressmen just as useless as your people in tianemen square complaining to your gubbement - hehe. I have zero say in my country like I know you have zero say in yours - here the difference though - if enough people here REALLY get pissed off - they will put down the twinkie and go get a regime change - wont flee to the streets like slant eyes beating thier chests but changing nothing while they beat up poor students over a textbook. I hate that cowboy Bush cause he hurt my redneck friends and made the HAVE MORES richer, but if it is to be insulted by the LIKES of YOU or get behind that thug and push the button - you gonna find out what hot headed rednecks in this country gonna do to your buddies. Go watch Dr. Strangelove and see that cowboy make sure the nuke go all the way down - hehe. Remember - we got more nukes in 2 us Submarines than your whole nation and bush already got a report in his hands how nuking korea would take care of the china problem too from nuclear fallout - hehe. That really bother you don't it - 1 billion plus been under the thumb of the west for 500 years now. Honor for suckers, truth, justice, loyalty - that may be the asian way for 7K years of history - but these cowboys - they are scum sucking devils - don't make them mad - hehe. What really sad Yiwu - no matter how riled you or I get - how much we like or hate each other, no matter how many hugs we give or punches we trade - the rich in both our countries gonna laugh all the way to the bank while the people fight over the crumbs - like chen says - that the way it was, way it is, way it always will be - hehe. I think you will find as you come more like us or surpass us - you get more crooked people in power than you got now - sometimes ignorance and simplicity really is bliss - nice life eating rice in the fields versus choking on polluted cities not all it cracked up to be - hehe.
