I was made aware of this piece of news from a CNA thread whereby the poster pointed me to this interesting fact that was not announced at all in any major newspapers.

I really don't have the time to explain in detail why this piece of news has major ramifications down the road, but the gist would be petrodollars has always been one of the most important reasons why USD$ remains as the world reserve currency.

The other major contributor would be gold. The currency to trade in gold remains USD$ as of now.

Please read up more at other sources if you are interested.
Have fun exploring.

Cheers.

On Sept. 11, Pastor Lindsey Williams, former minister to the global oil companies during the building of the Alaskan pipeline, announced the most significant event to affect the U.S. dollar since its inception as a currency. For the first time since the 1970's, when Henry Kissenger forged a trade agreement with the Royal house of Saud to sell oil using only U.S. dollars, China announced its intention to bypass the dollar for global oil customers and began selling the commodity using their own currency.

Lindsey Williams: "The most significant day in the history of the American dollar, since its inception, happened on Thursday, Sept. 6. On that day, something took place that is going to affect your life, your family, your dinner table more than you can possibly imagine."

"On Thursday, Sept. 6... just a few days ago, China made the official announcement. China said on that day, our banking system is ready, all of our communication systems are ready, all of the transfer systems are ready, and as of that day, Thursday, Sept. 6, any nation in the world that wishes from this point on, to buy, sell, or trade crude oil, can do using the Chinese currency, not the American dollar. - Interview with Natty Bumpo on the Just Measures Radio network, Sept. 11.


This announcement by China is one of the most significant sea changes in the global economic and monetary systems, but was barely reported on due to its announcement taking place during the Democratic convention last week. The ramifications of this new action are vast, and could very well be the catalyst that brings down the dollar as the global reserve currency, and change the entire landscape of how the world purchases energy.

Ironically, since Sept. 6, the U.S. dollar has fallen from 81.467 on the index to today's price of 79.73. While analysts will focus on actions taking place in the Eurozone, and expected easing signals from the Federal Reserve on Thursday regarding the fall of the dollar, it is not coincidence that the dollar began to lose strength on the very day of China's announcement.

Since China is not a natural oil producing nation, the question most people will ask is how will the Asian economic power get enough oil to affect dollar hegemony? That question was also answered by Lindsey Williams when he pointed out a new trade agreement that was signed on Sept. 7 between China and Russia, in which the Russian Federation agreed to sell oil to China in any and all amounts they desired.

Lindsey Williams: "This has never happened in the history of crude oil. Since crude oil became the motivating force behind our (U.S.) entire economy, and everything in our lives revolves around crude oil. And since crude oil became the motivating factor behind our economy... never, ever has crude oil been sold, bought, traded, in any country in the world, without using the American dollar."

"Crude oil is the standard currency of the world. Not the Yen, not the Pound, not the Dollar. More money is transferred around the world in crude oil than in any other product."

"On Friday, Sept. 7, Russia announced, that as of today, we will supply China with all of the crude oil that they need, no matter how much they want... there is no limit. And Russia will not sell or trade this crude oil to China using the American dollar." -Interview with Natty Bumpo on the Just Measures Radio network, Sept. 11

These duo actions by the two most powerful adversaries of the U.S. economy and empire, have now joined in to make a move to attack the primary economic stronghold that keeps America as the most powerful economic superpower. Once the majority of the world begins to bypass the dollar, and purchase oil in other currencies, then the full weight of our debt and diminished manufacturing structure will come crashing down on the American people.

This new agreement between Russia and China also has serious ramifications in regards to Iran, and the rest of the Middle East. No longer will U.S. sanctions against Iran have a measurable affect, as the rogue nation can simply choose to sell its oil to China, and receive Yuan in return, and use that currency to trade for the necessary resources it needs to sustain its economy and nuclear programs.

The world changed last week, and there was nary a word spoken by Wall Street or by politicians who reveled in their own magnificence as this event took place during the party conventions. A major blow was done on Sept. 6 to the American empire, and to the power of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. And China, along with Russia, are now aiming to become the controllers of energy, and thus, controllers of a new petro-currency.

ya.... how about googling "Pastor Lindsey Williams scam"
Yeokiwi

As I have written in the beginning, the post was made aware to me by a thread in the CNA forum.
I find it interesting and thus post it up due to the ramifications I can forsee from the article.

If you have any doubts of the genuity of that man or of this article, please post up some articles why he is a fraud or that this event didn't happen instead of putting one liner which you seems to be very inclined to in my previous posts.

The only thing I am finding online is that some claims he alleged to be a "providence of God". I have no clue about this man.
What I do know is this man announced something significant and I find it interesting, thus I am sharing it.

If he is lying about it, or if China is denying it, or if you have other sources that proved otherwise, the onus is on you to prove this article is false and not a personal attack on me.
Interesting topic about the petrodollar, which is actually very important to understand the monetary dominance of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency.

Here's another article written from the US perspective on the reasons why the petrodollar is so important to the US and why the US has been so pro-active with their wars in the Middle East.

I dont understand, if America is going down why would Warren Buffet still invest heavily there?
China can pay for oil in yuan for sure, its whether everyone else will accept it. They have been paying for iranian oil in all sorts of currencies/in kind/etc.

The truth is the majority of the world oil trade is denominated in dollars and looks to stay that way for the near future.
outside of the middle east oil cartel the Russian are the worlds biggest producers of oil, since nobody wants to be penalized for trading with the iranians and the saudi and smaller arab states have vested security interest to keep oil-dollar trade going on with the americans so am guessing probably the only option is to trade with russians which both already have currency agreement in place since 2010

Interested in his personal introduction??

Quote:Lindsey Williams, an ordained Baptist minister went to Alaska in 1970 as a missionary. While in Alaska, Pastor Williams found out about the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, which began construction on 29th April 1974. Because of Pastor Williams’ love for the USA and concern for the spiritual welfare of the over 25,000 workers on the pipeline, he volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company.

Lindsey Williams

Pastor Williams was given the northern 7 out of the 28 construction camps including the oil field at Prudhoe Bay to hold worship services at the 7 camps once a day. After six months a PR employee at Alyeska Pipeline Company told Pastor Lindsey Williams that he was an invaluable asset to the company. He said that Lindsey was saving the oil pipeline company thousands of dollars of counselling fees and had voted successfully to give Pastor Williams executive status if he wished to accept it. Executive status meant that Lindsey Williams could go anywhere he liked and see anything he wanted regarding the pipeline operation. They gave him a vehicle and an executive pass and he was also invited to sit in on board meetings in an advisory capacity in order to help the relationship between management and labour.
For three years Pastor Lindsey Williams had the opportunity to sit, live and rub shoulders with the most powerful, controlling and manipulative men on the face of this planet.

Faint.....
Who is Natty Bumpo?

I doubt you understand the difference between that man's predictions versus the authenicity of the article I posted.

Having a character assassination on that man does not help to prove whether what he had said is true or not.

Furthermore, it would help beside posting a long list of his frauds, to copy and paste up the links that you have gathered them from for verifications.

Now alllow me show you what I have gathered instead.


1. China, Russia quit dollar

China and Russia have decided to renounce the US dollar and resort to using their own currencies for bilateral trade, Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin announced late on Tuesday.

Chinese experts said the move reflected closer relations between Beijing and Moscow and is not aimed at challenging the dollar, but to protect their domestic economies.

"About trade settlement, we have decided to use our own currencies," Putin said at a joint news conference with Wen in St. Petersburg.

The two countries were accustomed to using other currencies, especially the dollar, for bilateral trade. Since the financial crisis, however, high-ranking officials on both sides began to explore other possibilities.

2. China and Brazil in $30bn currency swap agreement

China and Brazil have agreed a currency swap deal in a bid to safeguard against any global financial crisis and strengthen their trade ties.

It will allow their respective central banks to exchange local currencies worth up to 60bn reais or 190bn yuan ($30bn; £19bn).

The amount can be used to shore up reserves in times of crisis or put towards boosting bilateral trade.

3. Australia, China sign $31-bn currency swap agreement

The central banks of China and Australia signed a A$30 billion ($31.2 billion) currency-swap agreement to ensure the availability of capital between the trading partners, the Reserve Bank of Australia said.

“The main purposes of the swap agreement are to support trade and investment between Australia and China, particularly in local-currency terms, and to strengthen bilateral financial cooperation,” the RBA said in a statement on its website. “The agreement reflects the increasing opportunities available to settle trade between the two countries in Chinese renminbi and to make RMB-denominated investments.”

China has been expanding currency-swap accords as it promotes the international use of the yuan, and the accord with Australia follows similar deals with nations including South Korea, Turkey and Kazakhstan. China is Australia’s biggest trading partner and accounts for about a quarter of the nation’s merchandise sales abroad.

4. China buying oil from Iran with yuan

The Iranian ambassador's comments, reported by the Reuters news agency, confirmed a report in the Financial Times that claimed that Unipec - a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned oil firm Sinopec - was buying the oil, as was another company called Zhuhai Zhenrong.

Meanwhile, China has been trying to promote usage of yuan as an international currency as a rival to the dollar, including the establishment of a new offshore trading centre in London alongside the existing centre in Hong Kong.

According to the FT report, China has been providing the currency to Iran via Russian banks rather than its own domestic banks.

5. China, Japan to Back Direct Trade of Currencies

Japan and China will promote direct trading of the yen and yuan without using dollars and will encourage the development of a market for companies involved in the exchanges, the Japanese government said.

Japan will also apply to buy Chinese bonds next year, allowing the investment of renminbi that leaves China during the transactions, the Japanese government said in a statement after a meeting between Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in Beijing yesterday. Encouraging direct yen- yuan settlement should reduce currency risks and trading costs, the Japanese and Chinese governments said.

China is Japan’s biggest trading partner with 26.5 trillion yen ($340 billion) in two-way transactions last year, from 9.2 trillion yen a decade earlier.

6. China, Chile to establish strategic partnership, boost trade

Wen called on the two nations to expand trade in goods, promote trade in services and mutual investment, and double bilateral trade in three years.

The Chinese leader also said the two countries should enhance cooperation in mining, expand farm product trade, and promote cooperation in farm product production and processing and agricultural technology.

China would like to be actively engaged in Chile's infrastructure construction and work with Chile to promote the development of transportation networks in Latin America, said Wen.

Meanwhile, Wen suggested that the two sides launch currency swaps and expand settlement in China's renminbi.

7.China and UAE - Dim sum bonds sprout in Dubai

In January, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited the United Arab Emirates and signed a $5.5 billion currency swap deal to boost trade and investments between the two countries.

While the oil from the United Arab Emirates accounts for a small portion of China's total crude imports, it has been growing.

8. Brics’ move to unseat US dollar as trade currency

South Africa will this week take some initial steps to unseat the US dollar as the preferred worldwide currency for trade and investment in emerging economies.

Thus, the nation is expected to become party to endorsing the Chinese currency, the renminbi, as the currency of trade in emerging markets.

9. China eyes Middle East as next offshore yuan destination

After the impressive
success of the offshore yuan trading in Hong Kong, China has now zeroed in on a new hub for its overseas renminbi trading - the
Middle East.
The three-year dream run of the offshore yuan trade
settlement plan has given Beijing confidence to look beyond the
region and boost the renminbi's muscle power in a big area: oil.
Industry sources told Reuters last Thursday that the Dubai
International Financial Centre (DIFC), the United Arab Emirates'
financial hub, may permit transactions in Chinese yuan from this
year.

10. Iran, Russia Replace Dollar With Rial, Ruble in Trade, Fars Says

ran and Russia replaced the U.S. dollar with their national currencies in bilateral trade, Iran’s state-run Fars news agency reported, citing Seyed Reza Sajjadi, the Iranian ambassador in Moscow.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-01-07...-says.html


11. Yuan Steps into Futures on Hong Kong Platform

China's internationalization of the yuan, also called the renminbi, is gaining pace now that the operator of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has unveiled the world's first deliverable offshore yuan futures.

And for any Singaporean added interest, I happened to pick out this paragraph from this article. Think about the effects on our refining industry if the Myanmar project goes through.

China has also revived its plans to construct an oil import pipeline from Myanmar through an agreement signed in March 2009. As Myanmar is not a significant oil producer, the pipeline is envisioned as an alternative transport route for crude oil from the Middle East that would bypass the potential choke point of the Strait of Malacca. CNPC expects to direct crude oil from the pipeline to serve the proposed Yunnan/Anning refinery. Initial capacity for the pipeline is slated to be 240,000 bbl/d, ramping up to 480,000 bbl/d, and could be constructed by 2013.

In summary, China has already taken the first step towards liberisation of its Yuan currency. While floating of its currency will definitely take time, the seed of diverting from Petrodollars or USD as the main trade currency has already been planted.

So while some jokers are still proclaiming the might of the American supremacy through their Iphones, the rest of the emerging markets are already taking steps to divert from using USD$ in their bilateral trade.

Why would the respective countries do so if USD$ is as strong as some have hoped so. Think about it.

Whether that man, Pastor whatsoever, is making allegations or frauding people, it does NOT matter. What matters is how are the countries of the world moving ahead and what can we do to protect firstly, then grow our capital.

I rest my case on this. If anyone else wish to make a point, please do not use a one-liner with no verification links.
