U.S., China Clash on Currency

Both Countries Assertive as Economic Talks Open in Beijing


By Ariana Eunjung Cha
Washington Post Foreign Service
Friday, December 15, 2006; Page D01

BEIJING, Dec. 14 -- U.S. and Chinese leaders clashed publicly on the opening day of strategic economic talks, with Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. pushing China to revalue its currency and Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi saying Americans do not have a full understanding of the situation.
After standing by as U.S. officials criticized her country's economic policies in the media during the past week, Wu set the tone for the meeting with assertive introductory remarks that spanned 20 typed pages and 5,000 years of Chinese history.

A good opportunity to twist the arm of Uncle Sam says the Middle East:

Quote:
"Arabs and OPEC will want something in return for saving the U.S. from economic collapse and it is already widely speculated what they want will be a complete change in U.S. backing of Israel in the Middle East.

If such demands are made by the oil-rich Arabs, the U.S. would be left with little choice but to virtually abandon the jewish state to preserve itself."
Not great news...but also not surprising...China has had this sword hanging over the US for some time...let's see what the admin can do to prevent problems before we start wheeling out barrows of dollars to buy a loaf of bread.

I posted the gold reserves above. The US federal reserve also holds 5000 tonnes for other nations. I suspect that belongs to the US now.

Look at the advertisement I've found on the first link:
http://www.privatewebhosting.org/

How cute. After looking who this guy is the end of his article makes complete sense.

EDIT: Another cute ad found in Hal Turner's site - http://www.aryanwear.com/

LOL, check the entire website. It's a freak show:

*** BREAKING NEWS ***
BANKS "CAPPING" WITHDRAWALS AT $1,000 MAX!!
REPORTS COMING IN THAT PEOPLE ON LINE FOR AN HOUR; TOLD THEY COULD ONLY WITHDRAW ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Word of a possible collapse of the U.S. Dollar has apparently spread far enough and fast enough that the banking industry is reportedly LIMITING the amount a person can withdraw! More details as they become available.

Now check out the comments:

remember when the jew starting taking over the roosevelt government in 1930
baruch the jew wanted americans not to be able to get their money out of the bank and closed the bank for several days.
the jew is ready to do that again.
now they run our entire government.
they will also confiscate all pensions for Jew World order.
if your money is in stocks bonds pensions bank, you do not own that money until it is in your hands.
it is the 100 percent property of the Jew American government

Fish, keep the washington post stuff but get rid of this crap.
