Dollar no longer primary oil currency as China begins to sell oil using Yuan

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.

As an issue of national security, we’d have to nationalize the oil reserves and ban the sale of domestic oil outside the US as long as we are importing a single barrel. Its the only stick we can wield to force the world back on the dollar for oil sales.

Right, I don't think China exports any oil. I don't think any country other than Iran would sell for Chinese currency.

Right now US dollars are still accepted worldwide and are still the world's reserve currency. If Obama is re-elected, of course, all bets are off.

They can only hit the west coast.

We can vaporize them off the globe.

Like we should have in 1948.
