Re: Saudi Arabia Threatens To Drop Dollar For Oil Trades
Saudi Arabia has threatened the United States to stop using dollars for its oil trades in an attempt to discourage legislators from passing a bill dubbed NOPEC aimed at holding OPEC liable for cartel practices under U.S. law.

The US petro $ not looking so good.

Maybe the Fed should you stop quantitative easing. Just maybe.

You people are naive. Please name all the countries who tried to sell oil in something other than dollars and then name which one of their leaders are still in power.....exactly

Basically they're threatening to stop using the dollar because we stopped going to war for them.

Re: Saudi Arabia Threatens To Drop Dollar For Oil Trades
Saddam did the same thing before the second Gulf War. The reality is, Saudi Arabia was the main nation behind 9/11 attacks, in conspiracy with other nations and powers.

All they would have to do is show the genuine evidence, then show some pictures of American's being mistreated in Saudi Arabia, then other foreigners being enslaved in Saudi Arabia, bam, instant public support to glass them.


Not only that, all their assets in America would be seized/frozen. That alone would bankrupt them.

Re: Saudi Arabia Threatens To Drop Dollar For Oil Trades
A member of the Saudi Royal family should have a drug overdose as a warning to the House of Saud. After all the blood America spilled for them,they are permanently America's bitch.

Infact, for even showing their teeth, they need to be swiftly punished to bring them in line. Maybe a rogue cruise missile or something when a Saudi minister is visiting some area where things might accidentally happen.

Saudi Arabia, is the only country in the Middle East, the US should be bombing.

Much of the dollar's value is based on being the world's #1 reserve currency. Even if oil trade with SA continues to drop, SA trade with other nations will continue. If SA followed through on their threat, other OPEC countries would follow SA's lead.

Re: Saudi Arabia Threatens To Drop Dollar For Oil Trades
This is how SA gets the US to do its bidding.

Now of course there are limits to their power over the US. You'll know those limits have been breached when you start seeing a lot of negative press about SA. Then you'll know that the US has decided to make another failed state.

So SA will use their power without overplaying their hand. The petrodollar will remain their trade currency and the US will be Saudi's pit bull.

The US doesn't want dollars flowing in. That doesn't make a reserve currency work well. The US wants a lot more dollars going out than coming in.

And much of US oil is consumed domestically.

Re: Saudi Arabia Threatens To Drop Dollar For Oil Trades
We need a 'gold backed' dollar like we used to have.

We need to get these idiots out of government that are hurting our country period.

This is got to be done in order to compete and stop this FED take over and ruination of our country.



Well, this is what I think anyways...

Re: Saudi Arabia Threatens To Drop Dollar For Oil Trades
ok, so I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody discuss this yet, so I'll throw it out there.

I don't know the figures, but i do know that a ridiculous amount of "money" is tied up in the oil trade, because that is the currency in which oil is traded in. If they switch, it would send likely billions (maybe trillions...not sure) of fiat paper money back into circulation.

Well, what happens to the demand of something when a supply instantly surges? It tanks, right?

If this is true, the value of our currency around the world will sink. As a result, our stock market will plummet.

Well...who owns the stocks in the stock market? Is it the average joe? Or is it a very select few at the top of the food chain. They are the ones that will torpedo it when they feel they need to, buy pulling their money out at the same time.

Well, if the see this, what are they likely to do? The will likely all take their funds out, which should cause the market to plunge further.

At that point in time, the feds can pounce and seize assets for Crimes Against Humanity ( [link to www.whitehouse.gov (secure)]

What happens to all of that money? It is destroyed, and a new, gold backed dollar is inserted in it's place. I think there will be an exchange process where all "old" dollars will be exchanged for new, but since they now have a tangible value backing it, the value of the new dollar will soar.

And with that, the inventory of fiat currency will be destroyed, and the gold standard will be re-inserted.

 Quoting: BBQ BOY™


This could be an idle threat, but with exports to the US declining, it may not.

The dollar is step by step losing it's place as the world's reserve currency.

Again, it's value is highly leveraged against that.
