The Turkey-Syria-Iran Alliance Heats Up; The Economy

The Turkey-Syria-Iran Alliance Heats Up; The Economy, Tepid
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
The emerging Turkey-Syria-Iran alliance has Israel worried. The Gulf states are also trying to figure out what impact it may have on their security. I have been invited to a conference in order to address this topic this weekend. Saudi Arabia’s summit with Syria in Damascus recently was an effort to probe the ramifications of this alliance in the north. Since the conference, Saudi Arabia has been gratified to find that Syria Took a Position in favor of Saudi Arabia in its dispute with Shiite rebels in Yemen. This cannot please Iran. Tariq Alhomayed, the Editor-in-Chief of Asharq Al-Awsat, wrote:

We must also praise Damascus when it prioritizes the interest of Arab states, and supports Arab unity and the security of Arab lands. This is what happened on Wednesday when … Syrian President Bashar al Assad asserted to the Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al Qirbi “Syria’s support for the unity of Yemen’s land and nation away from interference from any other states in its internal affairs…

Turkey has signed an agreement with Russia, China and Iran to use each others currencies in their trade and not dollars. This is a big deal. China has just signed a deal with Russia to buy gas worth more than the total Russian export to Europe. This is to be in local currencies rather than dollars. Russia will not have to stockpile do many dollars. From the Turkish perspective, expanding the local currency deals is important because Ankara will not have to accumulate dollars or Euros as well. All of Turkey’s energy comes from Russia and Iran.

'Currency Cold War'

Postby insan » Sat Oct 31, 2009 5:27 pm

NEW WORLD DISORDER
Are Iran, Russia, China
behind dollar's free-fall?
Some see 'Currency Cold War'
meant to bring U.S. to its knees

WASHINGTON – The hottest selling book in China right now is called "Currency Wars," which makes the case that the U.S. Federal Reserve is a puppet of the Rothschilds banking dynasty and it has persuaded some top officials Beijing should resist America's demands to appreciate its own undervalued currency, the yuan.

This might not be news of concern to most Americans if the U.S. dollar were not in precipitous free-fall, having reached record lows against the euro yesterday.

What would it mean if China ever threw its economic weight around by dumping dollars in a major way?

Suffice it to say it is referred to in some quarters as China's financial "nuclear option," because it would be the economic equivalent of detonating a thermonuclear weapon in the world's financial markets.

But the American dollar's fate is hardly in the hands of the Chinese alone. Other foreign parties suspected of participating in a new "Currency Cold War" are Iran, Russia and Venezuela.

The Currency Cold War is in its infancy, but must be taken very seriously.

The Russians intend to undermine the world's only hegemony and its former enemy, the United States and President-for-life Vlad Putin and his KGB pals last year launched a ruble exchange for some deals.

A continuing drop in the U.S. dollar will have a number of consequences:

-Commodity prices will keep increasing, particularly gold, as it's a currency substitute for many.

-China and other trading partners long on U.S. dollars, and under attack by U.S. protectionists, will have increasing leverage over Congress.

-Europeans will find their currency puts them into an uncompetitive position.

-And Europeans will find that Russia will try to scupper attempts to diversify energy supplies. Russia's deal with Iran eliminates competition.

The Americans may end up with surplus dollars, no longer needed for reserves-currency transactions, which will force repatriation and inflation in their economy.

Global financial crisis and currency war

As one of the founders of the Bretton Woods institutions, Harry Dexter White once commented: "Currency warfare is the most destructive form of economic warfare. Economic warfare eventually brings war".

The world is approaching its first "lost biennium", with devastating results in terms of growth and development, and a politically unpredictable ending.

Inevitable Iran-Turkey-Syria-Russia Alliance

Image
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- The Middle East has acquired immense strategic value as one of the determining fulcrums in the global balance of power due to its being the world's largest known storehouse of low-cost energy supplies.


Aversion to American global policy, in particular to the actions of the US in Iraq, the common allies of Syria and Iran, and also shared economic interests, will lead to the merging of the political strategies of Russia and Turkey. Countries that were previously historical opponents will turn into partners in the creation of a new Eurasian coalition.

The final effect of the region's aversion to American policies will be the formation of the "union of four:" Russia, Turkey, Iran and Syria. Of course, this rapprochement between Ankara, Moscow, Damascus and Tehran will definitely affect Washington's position in the Middle East.

The August 19 Attacks Were Aimed at Sabotaging Assad's Syrian-Turkish-Iraqi-Iranian Cooperation Plan

"...It seems that the [August 19] attacks were aimed at [sabotaging] Syria-U.S. contacts by fomenting suspicion between the allies Syria and Iran; at stopping the progress that had been made in Syria-Iraq relations on the security and economic level when the Iraqi prime minister visited Damascus; and at complicating the Syrian-Turkish-Iraqi-Iranian cooperation plan, proposed by Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad as a future strategic plan, to which he is devoting much attention, time, and effort...

"Those engaged in escalating regional conflicts - those who lose by, and are harmed by, the American openness to the new reality - are racking up achievements against the Obama administration - because it is hesitant, slow, and irresolute in translating this openness into making the required bold decisions, and because it continues to give the Israeli leadership the right of veto in security and political resolutions regarding the region.

"Further hesitation by the Obama administration would mean another blow to the hopes for change that were pinned on it following the U.S. presidential election... Indeed, there could be Israeli war adventurism, or increased bloodletting in Iraq. But the biggest loser of an escalation in the destruction and blood[shed] would first and foremost be President Obama - they [i.e. those who act against him] want him to end his first term exhausted, without the confidence of the voters or of any of those with whom he promised to turn over a new leaf."


"The Syrian-Iranian Alliance... Will Not Wait Until Those Who Hesitate Reach a Decision"

"The region can tolerate no more experiments with the blood of its sons. Thus, the Syrian-Iranian message was clear and resolute, when President Assad visited Iran - that many, from near and far, must read well the meaning of what is happening in the region. The meaning is that the Syrian-Iranian alliance, which is cultivating the resistance movements, has won an historic, significant victory. Despite its openness to the dialogue option, this alliance will not wait until those who hesitate reach a decision."

The U.S. Is Staring Directly at the
Greatest Economic Crisis in Its History!

Celente recently told Fox News that by 2012, he believes America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.

Impossible? An exaggeration? Well, this is coming from the same man who successfully predicted the 1987 Stock Market Crash, the Fall of the Soviet Union, the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis and much more

Yep, insan, it appears the there are a few racist Chinese anti-semites out there. Here is the reality of the Rothschild conspiracy theory (i.e. that it's not true):

If you ask me, all this news is music to my ears.

The Turks are about to make the same mistakes Cypriots made in the 60s and 70s, leading to the US inspired coup and partition of Cyprus.

Hopefully, as this alliance develops, Israel and the US can work on the partitioning of Turkey into a Kurdish sector in the East and a Greek sector in the West, as well as liberate Cyprus as it would have no choice but to develop better relations with Turkey's future enemies.... :D

The Balance of power is ever evolving.... :lol:
