"Once the motion starts, it will snow ball no matter how many people don't want it to. It is not unlike a market crash that hardly anyone profits from but just the same cannot be avoided, once the conditions are set in motion."

For sure - that why the Saudis were so panicked about Iran and Venezuela's statements at the last OPEC meeting. These folks need time to convert THESE:

treasury.gov

Into things not dollar denominated. Like RE, corporations like AMD, etc. They'll still be stuck with some bucks, but why not take as small a hit as possible?

Japan and China are the elephants in the room. Other than us, they're the ones with the most exposure.

We're like a giant deadbeat borrower and the rest of the world is the bank that just can't allow us to go bankrupt because we owe them too much money. But, there's a limit to everything.

This site reveals the bitter truth about Islam. It proves that it is not a religion of God. If you disagree with me, prove me wrong and I promise to remove this site. I challenge the apologists of Islam to prove me wrong or stop misleading the world with half truths and misinformation. But if no one can disprove me, as many Muslims have tried and failed, then I invite you to learn about the dark side of the Quran and the Hadith by reading the articles written by numerous authors (mostly ex-Muslims) and transcripts of debates that I have had with Muslim apologists who have tried to explain away the absurdities of Islam. I invite you to read the facts that I have quoted from the Quran and the Hadith that lead me to my conclusions. Above all, I invite you to put yourself in the position of the victims of Islam to appreciate the evilness of this so called religion. I want you to ask yourself whether you would like to be treated by non-Muslims as Islam and Muslims have treated and continue to treat the non-Muslims wherever they are the majority. Finally, I invite you to reject Islam and join us, the apostates, to save the world from “Islamic doom."

Let us save the world from its certain destruction. We don't have to face another world war. We can stop this madness now. We can love each other like members of one family and celebrate our diversity like flowers of one garden. We can build a better world for our children. We can sing the songs of joy together. We can make a difference. Let not a psychopath liar fool you. Do not become an instrument of hate. Muhammad lied. This site is the proof.
