Unfortunate Drudge Headlines

Technical Stuff, World Events

When discussing the Large Hadron Collider, be careful how you write your headlines. This is a bad way to introduce a device that may actually have the capacity to start and end June

If you ever wanted to visit Iran…

World Events

… Might wanna plan that trip before the end of the year. If Jpost had only read my blog they would have already known what Army Radio reported. We will be attacking Iran before 2009. Here is the story.

I decided to take a look at the comments section. Here is what one enlightened pundit had to say.

First off, I clicked the “Report Abuse” button. Not for his political view, but his abuse of English. “Guts- the man has guts. He should do it now. Both McCain and Obama are too scared to do it.”  Beyond his evisceration of the common sentence, I have to ask- What measure of Guts does it take to  obliterate a country without a significant military?

We Will be Attacking Iran Before February

World Events

There is a race between the collapse of the Dollar, the inauguration of President Doomed-From-Day-One, and a U.S. led attack on Iran.

Today, Iran announced they will no longer accept dollars for oil. That had been accepting other currencies for some time, but only today have they stopped accepting dollars. This has implications on the petro dollar and will have major national security implications. Putting Iranian oil back on the dollar is now priority number one for money manipulators. Our weakend dollar cannot withstand body blows such as this.
The things that remain to be seen is the reaction from OPEC and the EU. My prediction is that OPEC will say little about this development. The government officials in Saudi Arabia and other oil producing states must appease the masses who despise the west and may look at any attack on the west as a good thing. The EU should support this move, as it strengthens their currency against the dollar- but they will not support it. The very creation of the IMF is proof that countries are not looking to compete and succeed through innovation and private initiative, but to marginalize and mitigate any success or weakness in the major currencies of the world. The EU will likely purchase treasuries, notes, or bonds through the IMF- or cut interest rates to keep the dollar alive for the time being.

Much remains to be seen, but this will not stand. Iran will have a new leader by this time next year.
