  1. Catherine, correct me if I’m wrong but in the past any country that even thought of bypassing the US dollar effectively put a target on its back. That no longer seems true. As many countries create different payment systems, nary a word from Trump. It would seem, he is not particularly concerned about this but that rather he continues to advocate trade and manufacturing. Could it be that his vision of a multi-polar world includes multiple tracks for multiple currencies? Could it be that he views dollar dominance as ‘unfair’ and is providing maximum flexibility to countries to conduct their business. It does seem to me he gets systems and has very long term goals for development of a new and different system.

    1. Dollar dominance is one of his goals – but he fights for what is achievable with what he has got to fight with. He wants to make sure the US is fine either way – with and without the reserve currency – but he will capture as much value from reserve currency as possible.

  2. Not sure that Haley was ever a good fit – I thought that Trump was doing a political balancing act by having a broad spectrum of views.

    With all of the quiet corporate AND government resignations and with so many incumbent politicians opting not to run again, perhaps Trump is trying to AVOID the overt Swamp Cleansing to keep the dollar strong and the markets stable. Is the Art of the Deal at work?

    … then the possibility of military tribunals would be left for those who believe they are immune or just too stubborn to quietly walk away. Seems that Hillary is either feeling immune OR is playing the ‘best defense is a good offense’ game.

    Interesting times we live in …

    Question: Mr Global didn’t come this far for the last 55 years to be stopped by Trump. Do you have any insights on the upcoming elections? Hacked machines? Does it even matter that we vote anymore? :-/

    Can’t wait for this week’s CAF’ Viewpoints!

    1. Purges are happening quietly. Whether they go down in a way that brings real swamp draining remains to be seen. Financial Coup is over. Need to cleanse liabilities and bring in a fresh team.

      1. Sounds to me like Bush and Clinton have cut a deal and are feeling quite safe.

  4. All of this is present tense, so the supply of information is naturally limited. Imagine though that the US competition with China to build out the new Silk Road is really to lower their profit margin, another dirty trick we might be playing. Then imagine, as suggested elsewhere, that the Trans-Siberian Railroad is where we really expect to compete, in cahoots with the Soviets. That further worsens the Chinese profit picture, by taking volume away. The Chinese aren’t dumb, though, because their real export is going to be millions of their citizens along the route, creating long-term allegiances in the bargain. It’s expensive to build the rail lines, but orders of magnitude cheaper than fighting a war.

    Another wild card is the long-standing rivalry among the Chinese, Persians and Hindi peoples, kept more or less civil by the dictates of geography for millennia. Each imagines the other as lesser among the true heirs to humanity’s forebears. There are a lot of possible outcomes.

    1. The opportunities for divide and conquer are endless. Outcomes are many. Especially if Fortress America is strong and resilient (and unfortunately highly mind controlled)

      1. As I stop and think about it, the three ancient civilizations I mentioned each have had strong mind control via cultural indoctrination, long before technology was an option. Perhaps their discrete persistence can be credited to their greater success in perfecting the capital, whereas Babel scenarios are visited upon those which fail to toe the mark. In the modern West, it’s ‘submit the mind’ or be obliterated as a polity. We may have built the tower too high.
