Suddenly, �De-Dollarization� Is A Thing
John Rubino
September 15, 2017

For what seems like decades, other countries have been tiptoeing away from their dependence on the US dollar. China, Russia, and India have cut deals in which they agree to accept each others� currencies for bi-lateral trade while Europe, obviously, designed the euro to be a reserve asset and international medium of exchange.

These were challenges to the dollar�s dominance, but they weren�t mortal threats.

What�s happening lately, however, is a lot more serious. It even has an ominous-sounding name: de-dollarization. Here�s an excerpt from a much longer article by �strategic risk consultant� F. William Engdahl:

Gold, Oil and De-Dollarization? Russia and China�s Extensive Gold Reserves, China Yuan Oil Market

(Global Research) � China, increasingly backed by Russia�the two great Eurasian nations�are taking decisive steps to create a very viable alternative to the tyranny of the US dollar over world trade and finance. Wall Street and Washington are not amused, but they are powerless to stop it.

So long as Washington dirty tricks and Wall Street machinations were able to create a crisis such as they did in the Eurozone in 2010 through Greece, world trading surplus countries like China, Japan and then Russia, had no practical alternative but to buy more US Government debt�Treasury securities�with the bulk of their surplus trade dollars. Washington and Wall Street could print endless volumes of dollars backed by nothing more valuable than F-16s and Abrams tanks. China, Russia and other dollar bond holders in truth financed the US wars that were aimed at them, by buying US debt. Then they had few viable alternative options.
Viable Alternative Emerges

Now, ironically, two of the foreign economies that allowed the dollar an artificial life extension beyond 1989�Russia and China�are carefully unveiling that most feared alternative, a viable, gold-backed international currency and potentially, several similar currencies that can displace the unjust hegemonic role of the dollar today.

For several years both the Russian Federation and the Peoples� Republic of China have been buying huge volumes of gold, largely to add to their central bank currency reserves which otherwise are typically in dollars or euro currencies. Until recently it was not clear quite why.

For several years it�s been known in gold markets that the largest buyers of physical gold were the central banks of China and of Russia. What was not so clear was how deep a strategy they had beyond simply creating trust in the currencies amid increasing economic sanctions and bellicose words of trade war out of Washington.

Now it�s clear why.

China and Russia, joined most likely by their major trading partner countries in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), as well as by their Eurasian partner countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) are about to complete the working architecture of a new monetary alternative to a dollar world.

Currently, in addition to founding members China and Russia, the SCO full members include Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and most recently India and Pakistan. This is a population of well over 3 billion people, some 42% of the entire world population, coming together in a coherent, planned, peaceful economic and political cooperation.
Gold-Backed Silk Road

It�s clear that the economic diplomacy of China, as of Russia and her Eurasian Economic Union group of countries, is very much about realization of advanced high-speed rail, ports, energy infrastructure weaving together a vast new market that, within less than a decade at present pace, will overshadow any economic potentials in the debt-bloated economically stagnant OECD countries of the EU and North America.

What until now was vitally needed, but not clear, was a strategy to get the nations of Eurasia free from the dollar and from their vulnerability to further US Treasury sanctions and financial warfare based on their dollar dependence. This is now about to happen.

At the September 5 annual BRICS Summit in Xiamen, China, Russian President Putin made a simple and very clear statement of the Russian view of the present economic world. He stated,

�Russia shares the BRICS countries� concerns over the unfairness of the global financial and economic architecture, which does not give due regard to the growing weight of the emerging economies. We are ready to work together with our partners to promote international financial regulation reforms and to overcome the excessive domination of the limited number of reserve currencies.�

To my knowledge he has never been so explicit about currencies. Put this in context of the latest financial architecture unveiled by Beijing, and it becomes clear the world is about to enjoy new degrees of economic freedom.
China Yuan Oil Futures

According to a report in the Japan Nikkei Asian Review, China is about to launch a crude oil futures contract denominated in Chinese yuan that will be convertible into gold. This, when coupled with other moves over the past two years by China to become a viable alternative to London and New York to Shanghai, becomes really interesting.

China is the world�s largest importer of oil, the vast majority of it still paid in US dollars. If the new Yuan oil futures contract gains wide acceptance, it could become the most important Asia-based crude oil benchmark, given that China is the world�s biggest oil importer. That would challenge the two Wall Street-dominated oil benchmark contracts in North Sea Brent and West Texas Intermediate oil futures that until now has given Wall Street huge hidden advantages.

That would be one more huge manipulation lever eliminated by China and its oil partners, including very specially Russia. Introduction of an oil futures contract traded in Shanghai in Yuan, which recently gained membership in the select IMF SDR group of currencies, oil futures especially when convertible into gold, could change the geopolitical balance of power dramatically away from the Atlantic world to Eurasia.

In April 2016 China made a major move to become the new center for gold exchange and the world center of gold trade, physical gold. China today is the world�s largest gold producer, far ahead of fellow BRICS member South Africa, with Russia number two.

Now to add the new oil futures contract traded in China in Yuan with the gold backing will lead to a dramatic shift by key OPEC members, even in the Middle East, to prefer gold-backed Yuan for their oil over inflated US dollars that carry a geopolitical risk as Qatar experienced following the Trump visit to Riyadh some months ago. Notably, Russian state oil giant, Rosneft just announced that Chinese state oil company, CEFC China Energy Company Ltd. Just bought a 14% share of Rosneft from Qatar. It�s all beginning to fit together into a very coherent strategy.

Meanwhile, in Latin America:

De-Dollarization Spikes � Venezuela Stops Accepting Dollars For Oil Payments

(Zero Hedge) � Did the doomsday clock on the petrodollar (and implicitly US hegemony) just tick one more minute closer to midnight?

Apparently confirming what President Maduro had warned following the recent US sanctions, The Wall Street Journal reports that Venezuela has officially stopped accepting US Dollars as payment for its crude oil exports.

As we previously noted, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said last Thursday that Venezuela will be looking to �free� itself from the U.S. dollar next week. According to Reuters,

�Venezuela is going to implement a new system of international payments and will create a basket of currencies to free us from the dollar,� Maduro said in a multi-hour address to a new legislative �superbody.� He reportedly did not provide details of this new proposal.

Maduro hinted further that the South American country would look to using the yuan instead, among other currencies.

�If they pursue us with the dollar, we�ll use the Russian ruble, the yuan, yen, the Indian rupee, the euro,� Maduro also said.

The state oil company Petr�leos de Venezuela SA, known as PdVSA, has told its private joint venture partners to open accounts in euros and to convert existing cash holdings into Europe�s main currency, said one project partner.

This first step towards one or more gold-backed Eurasian currencies certainly looks like a viable and � for a lot of big players out there � welcome addition to the global money stock.

Venezuela, meanwhile illustrates the growing perception of US weakness. It used to be that a small country refusing to take dollars could expect regime change in short order. Now, maybe not so much.

Combine the above with the emergence of bitcoin and its kin as the preferred monetary asset of techies and libertarians, and the monetary world suddenly looks downright multi-polar.

Dear President Trump: America is in for a Rude Awakening in January
Dear President Trump,
Over the last couple of years I�ve been all over TV� from Fox News to CNBC, CNN and Bloomberg. I�ve been telling our fellow Americans that the financial global elite was planning to issue their own globalist currency called special drawing rights, or SDRs.
And that those elites would use this new currency to replace the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.
I�ve even written about this extensively in my best-selling booksThe Road to Ruin and The New Case for Gold.
I�m sure some people in the mainstream media thought I was out of line � but the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have both confirmed this plan to replace the U.S. dollar is real. I�ve made this warning many times, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. That�s why I�m writing directly to you.
Here�s the proof that the U.S. dollar is under attack, right in front of our eyes:
The UN said we need �a new global reserve system� that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency.�
And the IMF admitted they want to make �the special drawing right (SDR) the principal reserve asset in the [International Monetary System].�
More recently, the IMF advanced their plan by helping private institutions, such as the UK�s Standard Chartered Bank, issue bonds in SDRs.
Although our mainstream media ignored this major event, the UK media reported:

This is all happening. And on January 1st, 2018, this trend to replace the U.S. dollar will accelerate. That�s when the global elite will implement a major change to the plumbing of our financial system.
It�s a brand-new worldwide banking system called Distributed Ledger Technology. And it will have a huge impact on seniors who are now preparing for retirement.
When this system goes live, many nations will be able to dump the U.S. dollar for SDRs.
For now, the U.S. dollar is still the world�s reserve currency. Other nations have to hold and use the U.S. dollar for international trade, instead of their own currencies.
This creates a virtually unlimited demand for U.S. dollars, which allows us to print trillions of dollars each year to pay for wars, debt and anything we want. It keeps our country operating.
Now, we can see that the global elites are working to unseat the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency.
Here are the three key pieces of information that prove this will happen.
Fact #1 � The IMF issues a globalist currency called special drawing rights, or SDRs.
Fact #2 � The IMF has confirmed they want to replace the U.S. dollar with SDRs.
Fact #3 � The IMF has confirmed Distributed Ledgers can be used for �currency substitution�� and they�ve even set up a special task force to speed up implementation.
The IMF is using this technology to create an SDR payment system, because that�s the currency they issue.

As you know, Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, is the woman in the middle.
When asked about the task force, she said:
�As I see it, all this amounts to a brave new world for the financial sector.�
Yes, a brave new world where the dollar is no longer the world reserve currency.
Barbara C. Matthews, a former US Treasury Department attach� to the European Union, has reached the same conclusion.
She said the link between the globalists� currency and Distributed Ledgers �is impossible to avoid.�
And that �the IMF seems to be exploring the possibility of permitting a broader use of [their globalist currency] beyond internal transactions among member central banks.�
Make no mistake, if the IMF is planning to use Distributed Ledgers to replace the U.S. dollar with SDRs. And just to be clear, when SDRs take over, the American people will be left with devalued dollars.
Once other nations start accumulating the globalist currency through Distributed Ledgers, they will no longer need to hold dollars. Once Distributed Ledgers go live, other nations will no longer need to buy Treasury bonds.
And that means our government � your government � will no longer be able to finance its normal operations, including welfare programs like Social Security. For those who have their retirement account parked in stocks, they could watch it evaporate in a matter of days. The weakest companies in the stock market could collapse once this plan goes live.
Just look what happened the last time we had a big change in our global financial system. In 1971, Nixon announced the U.S. would no longer officially trade dollars for gold. That created a lot of uncertainties, turning that decade into a nightmare for stock investors.
Take a look� the Dow Jones, an index of �stable� blue chip stocks (the kind most retirees like to hold), was cut in half. Stock investors bailed out of the market and, for the most part, didn�t come back for a decade.

I expect something similar once Distributed Ledgers go live.
The transition from a U.S. dollar system to a new system dominated by SDRs will be messy. Stocks will collapse� and will stay down. There will be no recovery this time, because the U.S. government won�t be able to come to the rescue like they did in 2008.
You won�t even have funding for normal operations, let alone enough funds to save stock investors.
I know that governments have been patiently watching Distributed Ledger (often referred to as blockchain) technology develop and grow outside their control for the past eight years. Libertarian supporters of Distributed Ledgers celebrate this lack of government control.
Yet, their celebration is premature, and their belief in the sustainability of powerful systems outside government control is na�ve. Governments don�t like competition especially when it comes to money.
You probably know that you, or any government, cannot stop Distributed Ledger technology � in fact you probably don�t want to. Governments and monetary elites want to control it using powers of regulation, taxation, and investigation.
An elite U.S. legal institution called the Uniform Law Commission, which proposes model laws intended for adoption in all fifty states, has released its latest proposal called the �Uniform Regulation of Virtual Currency Businesses Act.�
This new law will not only provide a regulatory scheme for state regulators, but will also be a platform for litigation by private plaintiffs and class action lawyers seeking recourse against real or imagined abuses by digital coin exchanges and facilities.
We know the U.S. government will want to use this technology for its benefit. One step toward government control just occurred a few weeks ago.
On August 1, 2017, the SEC announced �Guidance on Regulation of Initial Coin Offerings,� the first step toward requiring fundraising through Distributed Ledger, or blockchain-based tokens to register with the government.
But consider the following additional developments:
� On August 1, 2017, the World Economic Forum, host body to the Davos conference of global super-elites, published a paper entitled �Four reasons to question the hype around blockchain.�
� On August 7, 2017, China announced they will begin using Distributed Ledger technology to collect taxes and issue �electronic invoices� to citizens there.
Perhaps most portentously, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has weighed in.
In a special report dated June 2017, the IMF had this to say about Distributed Ledgers: The IMF favors control by a �pre-selected group of participants� or �one organization,� rather than allowing �anyone� to participate.
This paper should be viewed as the first step in the IMF�s plan to migrate its existing form of world money, the SDR, onto a DLT platform controlled by the IMF.
They�re telling you exactly what their plan is. It would be foolish to ignore them, or assume the U.S. dollar will remain the global reserve currency much longer once this plan is implemented, as early as January 1, 2018.
You know the global elites� aren�t your biggest fan. You know the U.S. dollar has been under attack.
This is the global financial elites� plan to remove the U.S. dollar from its position of power and to attack your administration all at once.
Who do you think American�s will blame when the stock market crashes, or Social Security runs out? We can hear the talking heads already.
