What Petrodollar: Russia, China To Create SWIFT Alternative
Zero Hedge ^ | 10 September 2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 09/12/2014 1:54:36 PM PDT by Lorianne

If, when in February Victoria Nuland infamously launched a (not so) covert campaign to replace the ruling Ukraine president oblivious to the human casualties, resulting in a civil war in east Ukraine, NATO encroachment along the borders of Russia, and a near-terminal escalation in hostilities between Ukraine, Russian, and various regional NATO members, the US intention was to provoke the Kremlin so hard that the nation with the world's largest reserves of mineral and energy resources would jettison the US Dollar and in the process begin the unraveling of the USD reserve currency status (as much as Jared Bernstein desires just such an outcome) it succeeded and then some. Because in the end it may have pushed not just Russia into the anti-petrodollar camp... it appears to have forced China in it as well.

Whatever Russia is paying the retard who runs the Zero Profits website, it’s getting its money’s worth. Between its pro-Russian, anti-American propaganda and loss-making financial prognostications though, it’s hard to see why a profit-seeking investor would bother reading the financial equivalent of Pravda. At least News of the World doesn’t lose you money.

He is right. We’d led by fools who are controlled by Banksters. The Ruskies and Chicoms know the Banksters’ game and are working their way out of the bondage.

Good grief.

Tyler Durden is a reference to the lead character in Fight Club. It's the pseudonym for Zero Hedge's key author(s) used to hide their identities.

Despite speculation that “Tyler Durden” is a pseudonym of Daniel Ivandjiiski, who was penalized for insider trading in New York in September 2008, Ivandjiiski denies being a founder of Zero Hedge. Rather, he says he is one of several writers contributing to the site under the pseudonym.

I thought Tyler Durden was a real individual! No wonder I couldn’t figure him out! It’s a pseudonym for a number of writers.

Brad Pitt’s character in Fight Club...good movie.

Zero hedge has all the gloom and doom you could ever want.

Any large national or international outfit centered in Scotland would be insane to NOT move out should Scotland attempt to go it alone.

“Tyler Durden” is the nom de plume for around 24 different contributors to Zerohedge.
