The Collapse of the International Monetary System and the Petrodollar, Part I

International Man
by Nick Giambruno, Senior Editor | May 14, 2014

Although it is a crucially important topic, it often doesn’t get the coverage it deserves.

I’m talking about the sociopolitical effects of the coming collapse of the international monetary system—which frequently plays second fiddle to the financial discussion.

While the financial implications are no doubt important and will be severe, the sociopolitical consequences will likely be more important and more severe.

And if you have any lingering doubts about the inevitability of a reshuffle in the international monetary system, you won’t after you read The Death of Money by Jim Rickards. I consider it essential reading.

While the book goes into unparalleled detail, it’s easy to read and makes a compelling case based on solid facts and history. Jim has a unique perspective because he’s the only person that I can think of who gets it on gold and economics, but yet still has regular access to some of the highest-level policymakers (otherwise known as central planners).

As Jim shows, the collapse of the international monetary system is not an unprecedented event—it’s happened three times in just the past 100 years (1914, 1939, and 1971)… periods that were all followed by intense turmoil.

Jim says the system is now blinking red again. No matter which snowflake it is that causes the inevitable avalanche, the time is short to take protective measures.

One proven way to protect yourself against this potential turmoil and risk is through international diversification, a strategy that this site is dedicated to.

And now, I’m very happy to bring exclusively for International Man readers my conversation with Jim Rickards. It’s below; you won’t want to miss it.

Nick Giambruno: As you detailed in The Death of Money, the international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past 100 years. And now you say the system is blinking red again. Please explain why.

Jim Rickards: Sure. There are two reasons. One’s sort of more anecdotal; the other is much more rigorously scientific. The first reason is that the international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past 100 years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. It’s been over 40 years since the last collapse. These things do seem to happen every 30 or 40 years. That’s just based on experience. That seems to be the useful life of the international monetary system. Now, that doesn’t mean that it will collapse like clockwork tomorrow morning. I’m not saying that. I’m just saying that the evidence is that we should expect this or at least not be surprised if it happens sooner than later.

On a more scientific basis, capital markets are best understood as a complex, dynamic system; and these systems are prone to collapse periodically based on scale and metrics and some catalyst.

“Scale and metrics” is just a fancy way of saying the size of the system. And if you look at what has happened since 2008, we heard over and over about “too big to fail.” Since 2008, the five largest banks in the United States are now actually bigger. They have a larger percentage of the total banking assets, which means the risk is more concentrated into fewer hands, and the derivatives books are also much larger. If it was too big to fail in 2008, it’s even worse today.

One of the lessons of complexity theory is that the greatest catastrophe that could happen is a function of systemic scale. It’s not a linear function; it’s an exponential function. This means that if you double or triple the system, you are not doubling or tripling the risk. You are increasing it by a factor of 10, or perhaps 50 or 100 or more, depending on the exact dynamics.

So we’ve set ourselves up for an unprecedented and catastrophic collapse—something worse than has ever been seen in history, and that’s just based on the fact that the system is bigger than it has ever been in history.

Now, people look back at 2008 and say, “Maybe this kind of collapse can happen, but the Fed can rise to the rescue as they did the last time.” But that’s where the analysis falls down, because the Fed used up all their dry powder—they printed almost $4 trillion of new money. Having done that to paper over the last crisis, and having most of that still on the books, what are they going to do now? There’s a limit to what they can do. They can’t take the balance sheet to $8 trillion or $12 trillion. Legally they can, but as a practical, political matter, as a matter of confidence, there’s a limit.

So the next crisis, when it comes, will be bigger than anything in history, and it will be bigger than the ability of the Fed and the other central banks to put it out. The Fed is leveraged 80 to 1, and they’re insolvent on a mark-to-market basis. And the other central banks are no better off. The only clean balance sheet left is the IMF, which is only leveraged three to one, so that’s where the liquidity will come from.

Nick: That leads into my next question. You’ve talked about three possible outcomes for the coming restructuring of the international monetary system. One being an orderly transition to the SDR, which is issued by the IMF; two, a return to the gold standard of some sort; and three, a disorderly collapse. Now the last time we spoke, we talked about the petrodollar system. Do you think a breakdown in the petrodollar could be the snowflake that causes an avalanche into #3, a disorderly collapse?

Jim: Well, it could be; that’s a good question, Nick. I make the point that the snowflake doesn’t really matter. What matters is the fact that the snow is built up, and the avalanche is just a matter of time. I think it’s important to clarify that this is not just a kind of colorful metaphor—comparing the international monetary system to a snowpack and a potential avalanche. The dynamics and the mathematics are exactly the same.

The point being, when you see a very large snowpack built up on a mountain that’s windswept and unstable and you know it’s going to collapse, and then here comes the snowflake which disturbs a few other snowflakes, and that starts a slide and it gains momentum and it starts to shoot, and then the whole thing comes loose and then you have an avalanche. What do you blame? Do you blame the snowflake, or do you blame the instability of the mountainside? I would say that the snowflake is irrelevant. If it wasn’t the one that did it, it could have been the one before or the one after, or the one coming a week from now. What matters is the instability of the system.

So back to the capital markets and the financial system—the blunders have already been made. The instability—the snow, if you will—has already piled up. We’re just waiting for the snowflake. Now, it could be a lot of things. It could be a bullion dealer or a bullion bank that fails to deliver physical gold on demand because there’s a physical gold shortage. It could be a financial institution failure. It could be a prominent suicide. It could be a natural disaster as we saw in Fukushima. It could be a lot of things, but in the end, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the fact that the system is unstable and it’s going to collapse. We need prepare for this and expect it sooner or later.

Nick: It seems that the monetary elites understand this to some degree and would prefer an orderly transition to the SDR over time. Is there anything that you see that could derail this so that we would instead get a disorderly collapse as an outcome, instead of the SDR?

Jim: Sure. And getting back specifically to the petrodollar, there are three big vectors in the world today that are all pushing against the dollar, undermining confidence in the dollar and leading to some new kind of international financial system, or what the elites call “the rules of the game.” The first one is the one you mentioned, which is the petrodollar. This goes back to the 1970s with Henry Kissinger and the Saudi rulers. They worked out a deal whereby the US agreed to guarantee the continued rule of the House of Saud and guarantee the security of the kingdom, in exchange for which they agreed to price oil in dollars.

Now there’s no particular reason why oil has to be priced in dollars. It can be priced in Japanese yen, Swiss francs, or pounds sterling. We also have the euro and other currencies. Oil could also be priced in gold. It could be priced in a lot of things. But when you price it in dollars, that means you need dollars whether you want them or not, whether it’s your national currency or not, because everyone needs oil. A country might not want to transact in dollars, but if oil is priced in dollars and you need oil, then you have to get dollars. This is a very powerful prop under the dollar.

What’s happened in recent months is that President Obama stabbed Saudi Arabia in the back by engaging in a kind of détente with Iran, where clearly Iran is being anointed as the regional hegemonic power. Iran’s nuclear ambitions are being green-lighted. They still have their nuclear reactor, which produces plutonium, which is only good for one thing, which is building atomic bombs. Their centrifuges are still spinning, and they’re still enriching uranium. There might be some kind of a deal announced later this summer or early fall, but none of it will deter Iran from its nuclear ambitions, and the United States does not expect it to do that. And so taking all that together, if you’re Saudi Arabia, the US reneged on its half of the deal. We reneged on the part of the deal that says we guarantee the security of the kingdom, so Saudi Arabia may renege on its side of the deal, which is supporting the dollar. They may begin to price oil in other currencies, as I mentioned. So that’s one very important prop under the dollar that’s about to be removed.

Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for the final, part II of this interview where Jim and Nick will discuss what Russia and China are doing and could do to collapse the dollar-based international financial system as well as the sociopolitical effects of a dollar collapse in the US.

Until next time,

News From Hollyweird: Oliver Stone To Direct A Coming Biopic "Thriller" Edward Snowden Film ....

The Rumor Mill News Reading Room 
News From Hollyweird: Oliver Stone To Direct A Coming Biopic "Thriller" Edward Snowden Film ....
Posted By: Watchman
Date: Tuesday, 3-Jun-2014 08:49:15

He has tackled the Kennedy assassination and the Watergate break-in, the Vietnam conflict and the Bush administration's "war on terror". Now the Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone is set to whip up fresh controversy with his adaptation of The Snowden Files, an account of the ongoing NSA scandal written by the Guardian journalist Luke Harding.
Stone's thriller will focus on the experiences of the American whistleblower Edward Snowden, a contractor at the National Security Agency who leaked thousands of classified documents to the former Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald back in June 2013. The film is to be produced by Stone's regular business partner Moritz Borman, with Harding and other Guardian journalists serving as production and story consultants.
"This is one of the greatest stories of our time," Stone, 67, said in a statement. "A real challenge. I'm glad to have the Guardian working with us." Stone's previous films include Platoon, JFK and W. The director has also made documentaries on Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, together with a 2012 TV series, Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States.
Snowden's revelations, first reported in the Guardian, lifted the lid on a culture of mass government surveillance, sparked a global furore and forced the Obama administration onto the back foot. Secretary of state John Kerry later conceded that the NSA's programme had "reached too far" and should be curtailed. Snowden's fate, however, remains in the balance. The former NSA employee has been granted temporary asylum in Russia but faces a 30-year prison sentence if he returns to the US.
Published earlier this year, The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man charts the political awakening of the twentysomething Snowden, a committed Republican who found his libertarian values increasingly at odds with his government's surveillance programme. A review in the New York Times hailed Harding's book as "a fast-paced, almost novelistic narrative that is part bildungsroman and part cinematic thriller."
"The story of Edward Snowden is truly extraordinary, and the unprecedented revelations he brought to light have forever transformed our understanding of - and relationship with - government and technology," said Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian's editor-in-chief. "We're delighted to be working with Oliver Stone and Moritz Borman on the film."
Conceived as a European co-production, the film is due to start shooting before the end of 2014. But time is of the essence. Stone's film looks set to face competition from No Place to Hide, a rival project adapted from the book by Glenn Greenwald and overseen by James Bond producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.
To his critics, Snowden remains a traitor whose actions have caused possibly irreparable damage to US intelligence capabilities. In the wake of last year's revelations, the ex-CIA director James Woolsey argued that if Snowden was convicted of treason, he should face the death penalty.
Supporters, by contrast, view the whistleblower as a patriot who acted purely in the public interest. "To me, Snowden is a hero," Stone said in July of last year. "He revealed secrets that we should all know, that the United States has repeatedly violated the fourth amendment."
The Guardian and the Washington Post both went on to win the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for public service for their groundbreaking reporting of NSA surveillance. On accepting the prize, Rusbridger paid tribute to Snowden's role in breaking the story. "The public service [citation] in this award is significant," he said. "Because Snowden performed a public service."

DINAR---MTN GOAT

Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2014 2:04:04 AM
Subject: DINAR---MTN GOAT
(Thank you George for sending this to Dinar Recaps.)UU4344 The Grand Finale Is Coming – Be PatientHi Everyone,
This morning I dressed Meine Kinder and we hiked up to one of my favorite spots high up in the mountains. There we sat and watched the wild flowers growing, and the grasses so green and wavy.  These same Alpine pastures where only months ago snowed in and cold. Now they are busy with cows grazing and insect life. Yes – nature seems to be singing a rhythm that is unmistakably summertime.
Today I wanted to drop in and quickly give you an update on the ongoing news about  the dinar revaluation process.
Today’s New's
Yesterday marked the end of the deadline to file any election irregularities  from the April 30th elections to the Iraqi Electoral Commission. As we all heard this date moved from 5/29 due to the extent of the fraud that was being reported. From what I have heard there were many issues as I tried to explain some of them in my 5/23 news letter. So then  there was a battle raged in Iraq. It was not a physical battle but a political one. Most of it was kept out of the news (since the news is negative about Maliki and guess who owns most of the new media in Iraq- Bingo ! ) but I assure  it was ragging but the outcome was  certain and it does not look good for Maliki.To coincide with the fraud reporting period the high court also has moved out its deadline to ratify and then announce the results. This was scheduled to be done on June 6th but now is moved out to June 10th.  This was so expected came out in the news like clockwork.So lets look forward to this period to hear of  the  winning coalition. I have a pretty good idea, as I have summarized before, that it would most likely be the citizens coalition. They might come out and call it something else since it will be a combination of votes from many coalitions. The citizens coalition did lead the effort however.
This massive effort began in April 2012 when we heard all the articles about a no-confidence for the prime minister. Do you remember those days? In June of the same year Dr Shabibi tried to RV and later in the year Iraqi president Talibani suffered a massive stroke. The stroke was during a session with Maliki and in the discussion the choice of words exchanged between the two was not pleasant. I suspect fowl play. This too is kept out of the news (since once again who controls the news media in Iraq?). Also this would anger Kurdistan even more if it ever did leaked out. I will say I do not have positive proof of this devious game but there is talk in the backdoor circles of Iraq when this topic comes up.
Maliki and his goons are noted for de-rallying any opposition and opponents. Their   known method is either to show up at your door it the middle of the night and take you away or poison you by contaminating a water bottle provided at these meetings. In some circles we have a saying. “if you can’t beat them join them”,. Maliki’s saying is “if you can’t beet them eliminate then”. So anything is possible. The truth may eventually come out once the new government is established and things settle down.
News came out over this past weekend in a Iraq news conference with the speaker of the Iraq house.  Nujaifi said during his answer to reporters’ questions to the number of deputies in the Sunni lists of who was ready to ally with al-Maliki. He said they do not  exceed more than four MPs.
Also just announced in same press conference that Motahedoon Coalition is ready to discuss any candidate for the National Alliance with the exception of al-Maliki. WE have seen many articles come out lately with the same news. Maliki is simple not getting the support he anticipated.
What I cannot understand is how some can still cling to the notion that Maliki has won a 3rd term as prime minister already. This news was given to us weeks ago. It was premature and inaccurate. Do you not read or listen to real, honest news from Iraq?
So here is how I am told the rest of the process will go and how long it will take to form and to announce the new Iraq government.
The formation of the next government will not take more than two months, or less as articles have told us. Even if it does take longer, as least we know they are making an effort to not repeat the 2010 lengthy election process.
Legally and constitutionally they cannot delay forming the government for a long time, as happened in past elections. The decision of the Federal Court has set a time for the formation of the new government, and refusing the open sessions of the parliament after the end of its legislative period can not happen since there still are so much long   pending legislation.
After the ratification of the election results, the president calls the parliament, within fifteen days, to hold its first session, to elect a speaker and two deputies, and then elect the new president, who calls the head of the largest bloc in the Parliament to form a government within thirty days.
What I am hearing for a TimeLine:
June 10th ratification of election results and announcement of results
June 14th current Parliament session is over, the current government’s charter is ended, the new prime minister, the president and the speaker of the house (all the key or  “presidential” positions) must be announced prior to this date.
June 11th – June25th president calls the parliament (anywhere within this fifteen day window) so we will know the makeup of the parliament within this timeframe.
June 26th – July 24th Parliament is to formally approve the government anywhere within this thirty day window. So now they must play out the politics and try to make everyone happy so they can work together in whatever government formation they rollout.
As I have said previously I do not expect that Iraq will take 5-6 months to form this new government as in 2010. This government should be formed quickly since they have been planning for this since 2012, as I said above.
Meanwhile we will continue to see articles on the process they are now undertaking as the head of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, Ammar Al-Hakim, discusses with the Deputy Prime Minister and leading figure within the Kurdistani Democratic Party, Ruz Nouri Shawis, the steps to compose the new government.
I hope this timeline has been helpful.
Other Significant News This Past Weekend
We have all heard about the events leading up to Iraq being excepted in to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Over this past weekend the council of 17 (the GOI) signed all  paperwork  to allow Iraq to enter in the biggest market of the world the WTO.  Yes it is true. We now only await to hear the formal announcement from the UN on this matter and it will be final.
The United States Security Council has ensured that all the Iraq protection funds will be released and sent to the Iraq as an independent nation and then Iraq will have full control over these funds.This membership will add much in the overall economic condition of Iraq. The access to this world’s best market will enhance the trade and business activities in Iraq. It will allow access for Iraq to export oil in the world’s biggest market.

The Latest 9/11 NAZI Paperclip NSA Bush-Cheney-Clinton-Obama Cover Up Continues And Now It Is A Department of Justice Ponzi Scheme

TOM HENEGHAN EXPLOSIVE INTELLIGENCE BRIEFINGS
ALL Patriot Americans MUST know, with sources inside American/European intelligence agencies and INTERPOL reporting what is really going on behind the scenes of the corporate-controlled, fascist, extortion-friendly propaganda U.S. media's massive deceptions

The Latest 9/11 NAZI Paperclip NSA Bush-Cheney-Clinton-Obama Cover Up Continues And Now It Is A Department of Justice Ponzi Scheme
by Tom Heneghan, International Intelligence Expert
source  source  source       

UNITED States of America   -   It can now be reported that the alleged five (5) released Taliban terrorists that were released to the current Afghanistan government are double agents for both the Saudi Intelligence Agency and the Israeli Mossad and the NAZI Paperclip NSA.
These alleged terrorists have direct links to the scripted U.S. NSA George W. BushFRAUD, Dick Cheney, NAZI German Becker 9/11 Hamburg cell that have direct links to the Saudi Intelligence Agency's mission to make former NAZI Bush NSA-CIA employee Osama bin Laden aka Tim Osman, the Lee Harvey Oswald patsy, in reality what was an "INSIDE JOB" direct attack against the American People, their Constitution and their U.S. Treasury by the filthy, TREASONOUS NAZI German Bush Family.
Note to daddy Bush aka George Herbert Walker Bush:  Your little faggot son was not Jesus he was Satan and when DULY ELECTED President Albert Gore Jr. takes office we will see who stands up like a man and who cowers like a little faggot.
P.S.  John "Skull and Bones" Kerry aka BushFRAUD's 3rd cousin, along with Eric Holder, signed off on this transfer of VITAL 9/11 witnesses who were ready to appear in a New York Federal Grand Jury fingering faggot coward BushFRAUD and sociopathic NAZI Dick Cheney, along with the NSA for this complete and total TREASON.
In closing, at this hour the entire world financial system remains cross-collateralized between banks with derivative I.O.U.s that are worth nothing with crooked accounting being used on computers to disguise liabilities aka derivatives as assets.
If this is the New World Order then let me clearly make a statement and an order to the U.S. Military:

TOTAL DECAPITATION
LEADS TO LIBERATION
PIVOT NOW!
