It is very important to understand that the US $ is not solely the instrument of the US but primarily of the Empire of which the US is itself merely a vassal, although an important one. US $ does not serve the American people, either. The sooner it loses its thieving nature, the better it will be for the American people, as well. US $ has been an imperial weapon, just as the US military has been. This has not been good for the US at all. Just look at the waste of wealth on useless imperial wars. The wholesale exportation of US productive capacity has diminished the standard of living of American people. The wholesale abandonment of any improvements in the US infrastructure is another revealing indicator.

We are heading for the cliff as long as this Empire exists. While our Republic was imperfect, like all Constitutional systems, it was based in law. Have you noticed that "our" government no longer exhibits the same respect for laws? This is another clear indicator of imperial nature of the government. Empires are rooted in raw power, and care about no people, including Americans. It is critical to understand that we no longer have a Constitutional Republic; that Republic is now long gone. What we have is a facade of the old Republic, left standing to fool us. In order to bring back the Republic (with future improvements) we must first slay the Empire. If we don't, it will slay us. Evidence of this is all around us. To see it, we must first open our eyes.

Hi Celia ...

if you can ever follow Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse he writes proactively and thoroughly about BRICS and what he calls the

" cleaving" between climate con artists and those looking to grow with normal efficient energy sources. If the dollar loses its standard due to BRICS the USA will never be the same.

Appreciate you and all you do
