	Interesting view? So how long can the US hold the world to ransom with the dollar? Keynes warned: ‘Owe your banker £1,000 and you are at his mercy; owe him £1m and the position is reversed’

	Understand, it is intentional. Watch where the ultra rich move to or relocacate assets to. there will be other plausible reasons. Planned Obsolesence on a Grand Scale. Be in the "know" or get out of the market and into personal farming with fertile (non gmo) seed. Do keep a month of food on hand in any case.

	The dollar is still viewed by the markets as "the" safe haven currency so expect to see the value of this currency drive much higher...you will be surprised. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes.
