甚至没有连带刺杀他停止了中央情报局。辱没他下台似乎是给戴高乐一生中最大的教训的最好的办法。舞台管理在整个法国''一窝蜂青少年的“青年动荡。他被迫于1969年辞去法国总统职务。他的推出铺平了乔治蓬皮杜的就职道路,美国的傀儡政权,新的法国总统。
1970年公开谴责戴高乐的自误,蓬皮杜先生,在蒙特卡洛秘密会面,英美石油美元帝国重申法国接受的小伙伴角色。通过将结束法郎对美元的对抗。除了被收回,,在新成立的G-7中发挥领导作用(最大的西方经济体的组织)充分安抚法国,巴黎俱乐部已创建。
但是最大的利益阻止法国和德国追逐他们拥有石油的白日梦,应该最终取代石油美元?他们只想耐心等待冷战结束。在1989年11月,戴高乐主义很快拿出缓服兵役在柏林墙被推翻以后。
Besides publicly denouncing de Gaulle's ''misuse of words, in June 1970, Mr. Pompidou, in a secret meeting in Monte Carlo reiterated France's acceptance of junior partner role the Anglo-American petrodollar imperium. By bringing to an end France's antagonism of the dollar, besides being paid back with a leadership role in the newly formed G-7 (an organisation of the seven biggest Western economies) to fully appease France, the Paris Club was created.
But did the big meat stop France and Germany from pursuing their daydream of having a petroeuro that should eventually replace petrodollar? They only waited as patiently as it could take to have the Cold War over. The shelved de Gaulle Doctrine was quickly brought out as soon as the Berlin Wall crumbed in November 1989. The fear that the collapse of the Soviet Union could make these two powerful European countries oppose their former master the US was why while the end of the Cold War brought jubilation around the world, it was panic it brought to the White House. Little wonder President George Walker Bush upon hearing the news quickly met with America's top economic, military and national security experts. Not only how to justify the huge arms spending and massive intelligence apparatus in the absence of the Soviet was causing panic. Causing panic was what would become the very fate of the dollar as the world's reserve currency without the Cold War; how to keep France and Germany as the military and economic vassals of the US, was in doubt.
No sooner was the Berlin Wall down did the announcement of came that a stronger European economic and monetary union had become inevitable. And exactly on December 8, 1991 another announcement, a deadline for European Monetary Union, which even came before the cessation of the Soviet Union itself. In fact, the kind of celebration that brought to French and German cities only signalled liberation from America, the invisible empire in Europe. By 1997 how the euro currency was to replace the dollar in the first decade of the 21stcentury was fully rolled out. And speculative economists around the world, doing what they do best, agreed with one another.
Who would have disagreed stellar economists and political scientists like Martin Feldstein, former head of the US Presidential Council on Economic Advisors, for arguing that: "The monetary integration of Europe could alter the political character of Europe in the ways that could lead to confrontation with the United States...and could lead to a world that would be very different and not necessarily a safer place"? Or prominent Canadian economist Michel Chossudovsky for arguing that:
"The European common currency system has a direct bearing on strategic and political divisions....What is at stake is the rivalry between two competing global currencies: the euro and the dollar...two rival financial and monetary systems are competing worldwide for the control over money and credit, an imperial scramble for control over national economies and currency systems''?
In the meantime, Jack Chirac was sending endless threats to America. First, he made it clear that the three decades-long truce between his France and the Anglo-American alliance was now over. Second, out of sheer thoughtlessness he announced that soon France would revenge the humiliation of Charles de Gaulle. But who wouldn't believe him given the kind of indivisible marriage he had with his German counterpart, Chancellor Gerhard Schröde? Believing in Europe's super currency power, Chirac had this to say: "It is now time for the euro, not the dollar, became the world's reserve currency.'
And believing that my enemy's enemy is my friend, on Radio Free Europe in November 1, 2000, Saddam Hussein in support of Chirac's announcement said that his country was now readiness to migrate to petroeuro. Believing that petrodollar's days were numbered, nations in desperation not to lose their dollar-denominated foreign reserves, began to plan how to get out of the dollar before it could be too late. Little wonder that by 2002, major holders of dollar reserves such as China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea asked their central banks to begin switching from dollar to euro currency.
But what would have resulted in an unprecedented dollar exodus was averted thanks to the quick announcement by the very backbones of the petrodollar - Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait. They made it clear that the rumoured shift from petrodollar to petroeuro should never happen.
Not only to show that that would never happen, but to make sure that henceforth Iraq's 100 billion oil (only second to Saud's 250 billion in the world's oil reserves) was brought to America's control, the invasion of Iraq and the eventually occupation was ferociously conducted with every awe it could send out to any nation contemplating such a thought. So, in the very battle of two powerful elephants, not only Saddam made his country a pawn. He too paid the ultimate price in this high-stake geostrategic game of chess. In fact, the ferocious destruction of Iraq became a warning to any other OPEC member wanting to make the same mistake Saddam made.
Even as big a fish as Chirac the French President was, he too did not escape being seriously brutalised the Americans. Bleeding helplessly like De Gaulle, former President Chirac hasn't had it this rough in retirement from active politics. As a master-blackmailer, the CIA, fully aware where all Chirac's outrageous skeletons were hidden, which all politicians have in abundance, they have being publicly excavating these skeletons in his cupboards, in ways that continue to humiliate him, including his mistakes as far back as 30 years ago when he was the Mayor of Paris.
There was no way such poorly articulated euro would have won the omnipotent dollar in the reserve currency supremacy battle. In the rush to create this euro currency zone, France and Germany, not only failed to remind themselves that the US-Saudi Arabia treaty in 1945, a kind of indivisible marriage where as the world's number one military power the US should always defend and protect Saudi Arabia, while Saudi's vast oil reserves should be the backbone of petrodollars, in infinitum. Also there was no way OPEC cartel, the baby Riyadh and Washington gave birth to in September 1960 as a powerful neutralizer of any eventual Soviet using its vast oil reserves for Cold War geostrategic supremacy, could overnight exit the dollar.
But even at that, there was no way the defectively articulated euro currency could have successfully displaced the almighty dollar. The fact that 17 European countries hurriedly accepted to come under a single monetary policy with a central bank without equally agreeing to be subjected to a common fiscal policy was enough evidence to show that the euro itself was built to fail. Locked into the euro without each member having the ability to either inflate its way out of large public debts or devalue its currency in a way that could make imports more expensive and exports more competitive, without any option but to go on borrowing spree, they became fiscally delinquent.
With weakening Eurozone economies and the high public spending, came unprecedented rise in public debts. These, all added together, resulted in debt rescheduling, which in return shot up the Eurobond interest rates. Unable to control the debt crisis, the risk has since spread to the European banking system. With high cost of borrowing also came the deepening of the recession. Every effort to ease the debt crisis has always faced enormous difficulty, especially because financial assistance packages came not only with draconian demand to cut government spending but also the forcing receiving governments to raise taxes to improve fiscal positions.
Since inflation is a hidden confiscation of citizens' wealth, inflated by 2,225 per cent since its floating in 1971, not only has America continued taxing the world using the reserve currency power of the dollar but also has in its stockpile some inestimable amount of gold and other precious metals. In other words, with the de facto power of the dollar America has since 1945 extracted more than $600 trillion in raw wealth. Not taking these realities into consideration by those championing the euro's replacement of the dollar was what caused the euro's collapse even before the battle with the dollar began.
Coming to their senses, they then understood that the difference between their bloated public spending and America's huge public is that with dollar as reserve currency, Washington has no difficulty externalising its deficit spending to the world by not only devaluing the dollar by printing dollars at will but also by artificially driving oil prices high so that nations' scramble for the dollars to meet the high oil prices. Not only Brussels lacks this power to externalise its domestic excesses, without euro being a reserve currency, it too has to scramble for petrodollar to meet its oil imports from outside Eurozone oil producers.
Being a carefully orchestrated dollar coup against euro, it is understandable why the open celebration of the Eurozone debt crisis. Not by ordinary Americans and British, but by respected Washington insiders like the former Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, who took joy in calling the euro ''the wildest dream.'' If we know how nation states act with logics, we know that in absence of morality national drive all nations' actions. With the dream of a petroeuro becoming a mere daydream, the same champions of euro have since begun reviving their old Euro-American partnerships.
Next week, I will discuss the emerging true battle, the impending challenge of petrodollar by the Chinese Yuan. With Washington ready to project its full military supremacy, Beijing seemed not to be intimidated given its vast economic and financial power that comes with over 3.6 trillion foreign reserves, which if suddenly pulled could trigger the full collapse of the dollar, and of course the US economy. As dreadful as it sounds it is the inevitable warfare, the 21st-century reserve currency supremacy battle.
