Tehran Dumps the Dollar- Will History Repeat?

[GodSaveTheTeam]

OK, now I'm worried.

A couple of extra news sources for your perusal...

The first agency to break the story on 20th September:

Then these follow on the 21st:

And the interesting news from May of this year concerning the fact that both China and Brazil are looking to dump the dollar in line with Russia and Iran:

Here is also an interesting New Internationalist take on the PetroDollar possibilities:

So...are we finally beginning to see the World monetry USA behemoth begin to topple? Undoubtedly a wounded beast is the most dangerous when cornered, so it surprises me not that the mainstream news agencies are busy laying the foundations for the next Middle East invasion with news of Ahmaddinejad's 'Anti-Semitism' and Nuclear 'Armament'...

Where is the news of this Dollar to Euro switch anywhere in the mainstream media?

The Press Release Agencies are busy maintaining America's dignity, after all it wouldn't look very good if Iran were seen to be making a stand against the Dollar's disturbing instability. That would be an act of economic strength, not the work of a dangerous and unstable tyrant.

With Iran now being the second biggest OPEC oil producer after Saudi Arabia the question now of course has to arise: who used to be?

And that just so happened to be Iraq.

The New Internationalist article gives an assessment in terms of Petrodollar Warfare. It looks to me as if Ahmadinejad might have thought this one out rather better than Saddam did.

An Iranian friend of mine told me a couple of years ago that Ahmadinejad seems to be making exactly the same mistakes that Saddam made, in going out to provoke the US. I had asked him whether Iranians thought that they would be invaded, and he thought at the time that they would be bombed, though not invaded, since the terrain was too difficult.

The author of The New Internationalist article also wrote the book: Petrodollar Warfare: Oil, Iraq and the Future of the Dollar
