"For nearly 5000 years, man has sought a way to devistate his enemys while protecting himself. The early war wagons, the chariot, the knight. Though men like DaVinci dreamed of armored vehicles, it would take the advent of the industrial era to bring them to reality. Lets praise those brilliant and brave men who defied convention to give us a way out of the horror and man made hell of trench warfare. Without question, the tank is the most powerful, versitile, and dominate land battlefield weapons platform ever invented by man." (WWI Tanks)

Financial Times, by Robert Cookson in Hong Kong, August 26, 2010, via Prison Planet, Banks back switch to renmibi for trade.
A number of the world’s biggest banks have launched international roadshows promoting the use of the renminbi to corporate customers instead of the dollar for trade deals with China. HSBC, which recently moved its chief executive from London to Hong Kong, and Standard Chartered, are offering discounted transaction fees and other financial incentives to companies that choose to settle trade in the Chinese currency.
“We’re now capable of doing renminbi settlement in many parts of the world,” said Chris Lewis, HSBC’s head of trade for greater China. “All the other major international banks are frantically trying to do the same thing.” HSBC and StanChart are among a slew of global banks – including Citigroup and JPMorgan – holding roadshows across Asia, Europe and the US to promote the renminbi to companies.
Well that's nice. In a recent post, another country heard from, we covered some of the goings on in Algeria. And we saw that in Algeria, the Chinese have been hired to construct some lovely buildings such as the Sheraton in Algiers, conveniently designed in the square and compass style.
Built by the Chinese, who are also building the Algiers Opera House.
In addition, some Algerians have noted with disgust the Chinese fingerprints all over their country.
And also the kiss kiss hug hug relationship between China and Israel, because these two countries apparently have so much in common, being "great ancient civilizations" and all.
Well then. Not only *would* China turn away from the US dollar, but the BANKS are offering INCENTIVES to CORPORATIONS to TURN AWAY FROM THE DOLLAR AND INTO THE RENMINBI. So I guess the banks are down with dumping the dollar, as noted in the above links.

4. China would never dump U.S. Treasuries because it would hurt them as much as it hurts us…
The theory that China is somehow fused to the U.S. in a kind of symbiotic seesaw relationship that can never be broken is so ingrained among mainstream American financial analysts it simply will not die, regardless of how much contradictory evidence you show them. It really is like a mental disease which causes MSM pundits to go into involuntary Tourettic convulsions every time you mention the words “Treasury bond dump”. America and China are not conjoined twins, and one can survive without the other. We have covered the China issue over and over again, and I will not rehash all that evidence here. To lay it out simply: China has re-engineered its economy towards consumption and importation rather than relying on exports. The IMF has talked about this on many occasions with apparent excitement:
http://www.imf.org/external/np/tr/2010/tr072910c.htm
China has also finalized the ASEAN trading bloc which has combined export markets at least equal to that of the U.S. Meaning, China already has another place to send its exports besides America.
Most importantly, China must increase their currency’s value if their new consumer based system is to survive. Allowing the Yuan to rise sharply in value will revitalize the buying power of the Chinese populace making greater consumption possible. Indeed, China MUST dump their Treasury holdings and pump up the Yuan if they are to hold their economy together. And, the Federal Reserve has given China every reason to turn its back on Treasuries through never ending liquidity injections. This is not to say that a U.S. collapse will not affect them, it would negatively affect the entire world. However, China has positioned itself to survive, and perhaps even thrive with their economic expansions into Africa, and their new financial agreements with Germany.
Finally, the Chinese have been very forthcoming over the past week about plans to drop Treasuries. China has dumped over 7.7% of their U.S. T-Bond holdings since January, including the biggest T-bond dump on record this month. They have openly admitted to a plan to diversify away from the Dollar:

I’m always fascinated by those economists who vehemently deny China will ever turn away from the U.S. Dollar while they are doing so right in plain view. Are MSM analysts simply crazy? I don’t know, but it would explain a lot…
Or am i misunderstanding something here? As my readers know, math and finance are not my forte. However, getting fucked over by the usual suspects I understand pretty well.

I have to think the Chinese memory is so short they don't remember the boxer rebellion and tong wars. The Dutch East India company has morphed into Goldman and Sachs.
They will never trust each other explicitly. China is still allied with the OSC and Russia to name a few. We will have to watch the next moves on the chess board.
It supposedly hasn't happened since 1987 during the cold war. EU says Russia is playing games with them.
I can't understand it either, there is nothing aggressive about the EU!
Your last link -The Free and Independent Times is a pearler (apart from some quibbles I have about how Ellen Brown describes the mechanics of short selling and her solution of government created credit is only half the solution. The other half is to take the credit creation ability away from the banks completely because they would still be able to issue mountains of credit and so create hyperinflation).
Note that in the article when Germany went to Government issued currency (1933) it coincided with the Zionists (Jewish bankers) declaring war on Germany and that this was the basis of the economic boycott mentioned later in the article. From what I've read, this 'war' fought by the Zionists was not lost on a large section of the German population at the time. This might explain a few things.
I thoroughly commend this article to all readers. Understand this and you will understand all you need to know about "hyperinflation".
For hyperinflation to occur, someone has to make the decision to create the credit or print the money and in all cases it is done by private banks and deliberately so with the destruction of the economy in mind. Plus, the credit/money can only be fed into the economy via speculation if it is to be effective at creating hyperinflation. No government is going to do this. Governments create or print money to build things and fund services, not speculation. No government has any need or motivation or anything to gain from doing it to their own economy unless it is acting as the direct and captive agent of the bankers.
It is the town of my youth,Florida State is my alma mater and I love that town. Good to see they are not taking it sitting down. It is the town of my youth, studying once in awhile and chasing girls the rest of the time. The place is beatiful, moss hanging in the oak trees, and ornamental brick buildings as classrooms. I wanted to stay there forever. It is located in rolling hills, first class restaurants and the ratio of co-eds to males was 2-1 when I was there.

The dollar is toast. They have no further use for it – it is a dead man walking. When is the next treasury sale folks? We will see who actually buys it - China or the fed.
Conceivably, Moscow could bring to the fore some personality capable of playing in occupied Palestine the role played by Frederik de Klerk in South Africa: to abolish Apartheid and establish democracy in the heart of one single state. With this scenario in mind, Dimitri Medvedev anticipates a possible exodus of Israeli Jews who would not tolerate the new situation. Therefore, he blocked the formerly announced merger between the Krai of Jabarovsk with the autonomous Jewish Oblast of Birobidyan. The Russian president, who comes from a Jewish family and converted to the Russian Orthodox religion, plans to reactivate that administrative entity founded by Stalin in 1934 as an alternative to the creation of the State of Israel. What used to be a Jewish republic within the former Soviet Union could become the future home to refugees, who would certainly be welcomed since Russia is experiencing a plummeting demographic decline.
allright?

The wonderful people of China have been well prepared for their arrival. Communism and its oppression are still in place. With a central bank in place and a well cowed population it will be the perfect paradise for these vampires. It will in effect be as if the Soviets won the cold war but with less snow in the picture postcards.
Some people hope for a ‘Northern Army’ to sweep down and liberate them. They forget who paid for and armed such a force.
On that cheery thought I’m heading off-air for the evening.
also sounds like medvedev is a sab. i had never heard of his jewish background before.
That little detail on Medvedev was certainly an eye opener. It certainly would explain the claw-back of influence by the ‘oligarchs’ (wink – you know who I mean) in recent years.
They can make the snow capped mountains bloom right?
"China has become Iran’s first commercial partner and draws on the expertise of the Revolutionary Guards to overcome the hurdles set up by the CIA in Africa. It also gives military back-up, as discreet as it is effective, to Hezbollah (which it probably equipped with land-to-air missiles and guiding systems to counter interference) and to Hamas (which opened a representation office in Pekin). However, China is advancing very slowly and cautiously on the Middle East stage where it has no intention of playing a decisive role."
