A short monetary history trip to 1967's exploring the exchange between Karl Blessing #Bundesbank, and the then Chairman of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System #FED, William Martin. Image
...keep reading the juice will be at the end.. Image
Are we there yet?
Nope...
Here are just some boring footnotes for the record. Juice coming soon in red: Image
Almost there... Image
Here we go Karl Blessing and his record how he enabled Nixon to have his way turning history singlehandedly by mistake...

An old monetary snipset very few know about. Image
So @mortymer001 why are you posting this stuff?

Don't you see reader we have TODAY the very same situation?

The @ecb, @Lagarde, in fact the whole ESCB (European Sys. of Central banks) is a captive of #FED policies, for some reason unable to fulfill it's independence. #JobFail
So is this real?

Ya bet so! It is STILL possible to locate the file at BuBa, here:

It is 1975 and oil oil exporters and importers try to find solution for broken monetary system.

An interesting history 🧵🧵🧵
How could oil producing countries keep their purchasing power in times of turbulent seventies?

Once Iraq´s Saddam Hussein said about oil management:
A small thread about oil politics:

🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

Is the US in the Gulf to "steal" the oil? -> NO!
All the oil ever consumed is LESS that 1/5 of Lake Tahoe: tinyurl.com/5n7fsc9e

Do this:
- Just zoom in and out.
- Think that all this burns at once and creates a cloud/blanket covering whole Earth.
- Tell me, would this little fart make ANY difference to #GlobalWarming ?

About #Transnistria, #Moldova, #Nato and #Russia. A small🧵

But lets start with Georgia first!

During NATO's 2008 Bucharest summit in Bucharest, United States and Poland called for Georgia to be allowed to join the Membership Action Plan (MAP). A roadmap was set. (1/N)
The issue with accession articles and preambles is that implicitly no country without full control of its borders can join the alliance.

Let it sink.

Neither Georgia, Ukraine nor Moldova can join NATO without solving their territorial issues.

Internal conflicts matter. (2/N)
In Georgia it is #Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
In Ukraine it is #Crimea, #Donbas and #Lugansk regions.
In #Moldova it is #Transnitria.

Note that Russia has been for years working hard on their border issues.

Escalation in new member conflict zone would trigger art5. (3/10)

FREEZING ASSETS OF FOREIGN CENTRAL BANKS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW: AGAIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT

monardlaw.be/en/stories/fre…
"Freezing the assets means that they are blocked and therefore can no longer be withdrawn, transferred, paid, etc.: in principle, it is essentially a temporary measure, that is not tantamount to a confiscation. "
In some cases, however, the sanctioning State goes one step further and allows the funds to be used to satisfy judgments against the targeted State (this is what happened with the assets held by Iran’s Central Bank in the U.S., thereby triggering litigation at the International

@VictorTheClean3 @avoidingfolly @LukeGromen @SantiagoAuFund @imetatronink en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Russ…

OPEC plus countries include Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Brunei, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mexico, Oman, Russia, South Sudan and Sudan.
@VictorTheClean3 @avoidingfolly @LukeGromen @SantiagoAuFund @imetatronink So as you can see the US-KSA alliance fell apart and new alliance KSA-RU has been established. It is a win-win in long term and KSA has correctly realized that the USA would over-issue $ therefore devaluate all their inground reserves thus seriously lower their income.

What I do not get is how the #Left, usually #AntiWar, is supporting #Ukrainian case and war efforts.
In #IraqWar the left played important role yet little was achieved.

The #WarInDonbas was a miss.

The Saudi Arabian–led intervention in #Yemen was totally ignored.

The #Palestine issue keeps going yet not many protests get publicity.

The Russo-Ukrainian conflict/war?
...1/2
Part 2/2
...First protests were massive. Now?

Two issues:

- The #AntiWar movement demands stop of military operations by RU forces.

- Not many voices speak for stopping all use of military force.

What happened to #Peace #Movements?
