Well what percentage of our oil comes from Iran? I thought we only get around 10% from them but I’m probably wrong.

Yep, Iran opened up their oil bourse a while back and was accepting Iranian currency.

I do not think it was any coincidence that Iraq switched to euros shortly before we attacked them.

I am with misteroman$$$ on the gold/silver/guns/ammo thing. It doesnt hurt to have them just in case.

On the Freddie and Fannie subject, it is my understanding that they are leverage somewhere between 60:1 and 200:1 and only in for more hurt.

My source is this. [http://market-ticker.denninger.net/](http://market-ticker.denninger.net/)  
It was written before the gov announcement of their plan and according to that guy their plan is only going to make things worse.

Yes.

You guys should push aside some of the 9/11 theories he’s brought up and pay attention to bing when he talks about this. This isn’t about oil, it’s about the US dollar being on the oil standard.

Both of those things go hand and hand so I won’t disagree with you.I was actually going to start buying up some ammo(paying cash of course) for the guns I have.Obviously it’s almost impossible to be fully prepared for the worst and have everything ya need,so have something of value to trade for what you may need.

LOL this thread sucks now I disagree that the US is on the oil standard as Fry puts it. It seems as if we are riding the wealth from the dot com craze and the industrialized times when the US was the most advanced country in the nation. Now the rest of the world has caught up when we’ve been sitting back enjoying ourselves.

politely… shut up… and whatever

we are Generation Y… Racism doesnt exist, the entire concept is meaningless. I’m in an interracial marriage for fuck sake. i bragged about it on stormfront (white supremacy forum) and i’m not 100% caucasian… wrap your head around that.

describing people by the colour of their skin is just that. their skin is brown, i refer to it as such. dont try to understand please.

Have you ever read the papers in Canada? Do you have many Canadian friends? Canada, although across a thin border is an entirely different culture. A much more calm and collected version of the US on a whole. They look at us the way the rest of the world does. I for one plan on getting my dual citizenship so I have another option when shit hits the fan.
