Also vital is controlling energy supply corridors to China. Any OPEC country that attempts to disrupt this scheme is dealt with harshly. <br /><br />I recommend William Clark's book "Petrodollar Warfare" that explains the IMF petrodollar recycling scheme in more detail.<br /> <br />Taking the time to understand concepts like the IMF, Geopolitical Realpolitik, the Petrodollar or Central Banking will give you a much greater insight into world events.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Rll6ZHbowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-79935052501937334162012-10-24T13:26:58.756-07:002012-10-24T13:26:58.756-07:00ddxxdd,

Oh, you'll see inflation my boy.<br /><br />Cpt.Captain Capitalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620212946121617985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-37964495761224618762012-10-24T12:41:58.686-07:002012-10-24T12:41:58.686-07:00The left *has* studied economics.

Before you say that it's all bunk, remember that all other schools of economics failed to predict the lack of inflation present despite the tripling of the monetary base: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/25/inflation-lessons/<br /><br />So yeah.
