  1. The main problem here is Washington, nobody expects a 200 years nation to be wise, however the real problem is the $, (as a reserve currency) not the domestic dollar..Americans in fact are quite uneducated and unsophisticated, so it is easy for the media to brainwash them, Americans exist to die for wars that are useless pay taxes to Israel, eat hot dogs, and die, like a hot dog.. they are just dogs if you like, dogs because of themselves, not because of nature, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, this are wars made for the $ (the currency use as reserve currency) investors use the $ as a reserve currency to get rich, banks do the same, financiers do the same; the American dogs use the domestic $, which is not the same, so the Americans dogs die for the $ reserve currency, not the us $, the green bag, if you like. reason why to save America liberate the American dogs " "you folks" and liberate the rest of the planet from this plague call wall street, main media brainwash the $ as a reserve currency must die, ended as the petrodollars must die end kaput!!!, this will collapse investors, olygargs, looters, aristocratic education, in short is the only way out from the American spiritual intellectual iron curtain which imprison them. the same fact exist in Europe only they are lambs, rather than dogs like you Americans. "Hope you understand reality for once, remember LINCOLN and the green bag, well you are there now.
