"Mundo perde confiança nos EUA e se livra do dólar na surdina".
Inicia em minuto 48. Wilkerson is a Republican establishment insider who has served for many years in the military and the State Department. At minute 48:00 Wilkerson gives a response to a question about the growing US debt and of the role of the petrodollar in the Empire, and the efforts by others to ‘undermine it’ by replacing it. This is his ‘greatest fear.’ This includes the observation that “gold is being moved in sort of unique ways, concentrated in secret in unique ways, and capitals are slowly but surely divesting themselves of US Treasuries. So what you are seeing right now in the supposed strengthening of the dollar is a false impression.” The BRICS want to use oil to “force the US to lose its incredibly powerful role in owning the world’s transactional reserve currency.” It gives the US a great deal of power of empire that it would not ordinarily have, since the ability to add debt without consequence enables the expenditures to sustain it.
Lawrence Wilkerson, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William Mary, and former Chief of Staff to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, visited the CIGI Campus on October 8, 2014 to discuss international military involvement in Iraq and the western and regional responses to the threat of ISIS.
