Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Quote:
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency knew dissident military officers were planning a coup in 2002 against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, according to purported U.S. intelligence documents posted on the Internet.
Citing the documents, Chavez lashed out at U.S. officials on Thursday, saying they knew a coup was brewing but failed to tip off Venezuela's government.
"The CIA knew that a coup was coming ... the government of George Bush knew," said Chavez, whose so-called "peaceful revolution" for the poor and close ties to Cuban leader Fidel Castro have often put him at odds with U.S. policies.
Of COURSE the CIA and the Bushies knew about the Chavez coup! They helped PAY for the dang thing! (Go over to www.fromthewilderness.com and read up on it, OK?)
See, Chavez has this really wacky idea that the nation that HAS the oil and gas should be who CONTROLS it, not some megacorporation or some other country's **cough, the US, cough** government!
In April 2002, the Bush administration quickly endorsed the military-led coup of President Chávez, an outspoken critic of Bush’s imperialistic policies. Although the coup collapsed after 2 days with Chavez being restored to power, various reports suggest the CIA and a rather embarrassed Bush administration approved, and may have been actively involved with the civilian/military coup plotters. Venezuelan's ambassador Francisco Mieres-Lopez apparently floated the idea of switching to the euro approximately one year before the failed coup attempt. Furthermore, there is some evidence that the U.S. is still active in its attempts to overthrow the democratically elected Chavez administration. On July 21, 2004, the Venezuelan government said it may suspend oil shipments to the United States in case of an eventual conflict with the U.S.”: “In case of an aggression, that option would be considered.” _________________ A Saudi saying, "My father rode a camel.

I had to counter the anti leftist bias of Jon Gurwitz, a writer of rebublican bent from the good old US of A. Too bad my local paper prints such crap-I live in Canada!!!
Chavez just returned from a trip to Russia, to talk to Putin about--OIL!
This time, it won't be so easy for Bush & Co: Russia, China, Central Asia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, the EU, Japan, even Canada (where they can)--they are all making deals, alliances, agreements as fast and furiously as they can...and they are all talking euro as the alternative oil-buying currency of the world.
Not even the American Imperalists can take on all those countries together. The pocketbook is the world's remaining WMD against the US, and they are using it! Yeah, the US could still use "tactical" (or worse!) nukes, of course. But if it's come to that, the world's SNAFU, anyway.
The last half of this decade is going to be...interesting...indeed.

Yeah you're right, a lot of backroom meetings are going on. Even here in the great white north. The Chinese govt was recently in negotiations to buy Husky Oil from the majority share holder, Victor Li, a Hong Kong born Chinese entrepreneur. I wonder who would get Husky's reserves, China or USA? I can't see a mass export off continent happening, since America would likely get pissed, and the infrastructure is entrenched to ship our resources south. Maybe the Chinese are hoping to purchase holdings here to offset their purchases elsewhere. As for the Venezuelans, Dubya might meddle further just because Chavez is a lefty. The yanks hate that, hell they even think we're kinda commie up here. Look at the facts in the south:Allende, Cuba, Grenada, Nicaraugua, and now Venezuela. Oops, forgot Guatemala and Columbia. All these 'punished' for being left. I agree with you're comments about the tide turning with a switch to the Euro, it will kill the US econ, and dollar. I think too, that a sea change is happening in central and south AM, they have simply had enough of the IMF, World Bank, and US interference. However, Bush is crazy, who knows what is next. A cornered animal is most dangerous. What is troubling is the departure of all these high level guys from Bush's inner circle-what do they know??
Interesting times indeed.
