COMMENT: I’ve investigated what you have got mentioned about our Western leaders. From the US to Britain, the Balkans, France, Poland, and Germany, all of them need battle. I’m 77 now.

I consider you’re appropriate.  There is no such thing as a rationalization for everybody searching for battle apart from to cover their appalling authorities mismanagement.

REPLY: Historical past repeats, and human nature by no means modifications. Now we have the mannequin from Rome, the best empire ever created. The Pax Romana was achieved by everybody benefiting of their financial relations. As soon as these folks eliminated Russia from the SWIFT system, they condemned the US to its demise. The rise of the BRICS has nothing to do with fiat cash. All cash has all the time been fiat. From historical instances, we discover imitation coinage of the dominant economic system being created by different areas, exhibiting that there was all the time a premium over the metallic content material if it was a coin of the dominant economic system just like the US greenback at this time. Right here is an imitation of an Athenian Owl caught by the Egyptians, who by no means had cash till they have been conquered practically 100 years later by Alexander the Nice. They issued imitation Athenian Owls as a result of they have been the foreign money of worldwide commerce.

Even the Celts, when Julius Caesar conquered Europe, nonetheless imitated his coinage. The metallic was nearly the identical, so it was not a counterfeit however an imitation. The Celts nonetheless used Roman coinage for his or her financial system.

Even 300 years earlier than Caesar, when the Macedonians have been the dominant financial energy of Phillip II and his son Alexander the Nice, we discover Celtic imitations of Macedonian gold the place they at the least tried to mimic the design.

Even after Caesar conquered Europe, we discover Germanic imitations of Roman bronze coinage. As soon as extra, they may have created their very own coinage however imitated the coinage of Rome.

As commerce expanded with India, we discover a sequence of 300-year-old Indian imitations of Roman gold coinage. We additionally see Celtic imitations of Roman silver coinage and Germanic coinage, which additionally ran for about 300 years.

The truth that we now have tons of of years of imitations of the dominant economic system PROVES past a shadow of a doubt that the coinage was NOT based mostly on the metallic content material; there was all the time a premium utilized to the dominant foreign money on this planet at the moment.

This complete nonsense that the greenback is only a fiat foreign money is absurd. The worth of ANY foreign money is the power of its economic system. The greenback has been the RESERVE foreign money BECAUSE everybody needed to promote their merchandise to American shoppers.

The PAX Romana befell BECAUSE all of the conquered lands discovered it was helpful to be a part of the empire, for they may promote their merchandise – therefore free commerce. World Peace was created by permitting free commerce because the Romans did. Then, the folks would oppose any native politician preaching battle, for it might reduce off their revenue. We have been on the verge of world peace earlier than COVID-19, when everybody participated on this planet economic system. Immediately that has all been destroyed. Peace is now not modern – hatred and battle now outline world leaders.

It is a lesson our Politicians Should Study, and the Neocons in

America – Europe – Russia – China

are actually the enemies of the folks. 

Struggle is rarely created by the folks – solely by the elites in energy.

As King Louis XIV of France mentioned on his deathbed:
