China Isolating the U.S. (and the U.S. Dollar) From Global Trade (Video)

The Last Great Stand
In the following interview, Dr. Jim Willie joins the Fearless Eye Report where he is featured as a guest. During the interview, just one of the highlights of the interview includes discussion of the continued fracturing of alliances between the U.S. and our former allies over the never-ending U.S. abuse of the U.S. Dollar as the World Reserve Currency.
U.S. Britain relations have been strained because Britain wants to pursue deeper relations with China (presumably because the U.S.S United States has become a rudderless, and derelict vessel taking on massive amounts of water, and China seems the most viable option). Relations between the U.S. and Turkey, a major U.S. NATO ally have also taken a nosedive in recent months after the failed attempt at a military coup which only succeeded in pushing Turkey closer to Russia, the very country NATO was formed as an alliance to stand against.
Might I add that NATO’s largest stockpile of nuclear weapons just so happens to be located in Turkey because NATO is/was the forward operating base of the allies to deter Russia. With Turkey distancing itself from NATO and the U.S., that cannot be a sign of good things to come, particularly with NATO’s enormous nuclear stockpile housed in Turkey… at least not while there are unfriendly actors like ISIS next door in Syria, and Russia getting cozy as well.
In Japan, leaders still refer to the “accident at Fukushima” as the “attack on Fukushima,” and I’m sure I don’t need to tell you who the people hold responsible for Fukushima. It’s not like taking decisive action against an “ally” like Japan would be “beneath” the United States, not if the U.S. felt such action served our best national interests.

Coincidentally, that happens to be one of the arguments Putin is always making about the U.S., like in the article titled, The Real Reason Putin Hates Obama and Clinton, and Wants Trump To Win (Video). When a “vital” U.S. Interest is at stake, the U.S. knows no bounds, however, traditionally in the past, it was always far easier to buy the silence of others than it is today.
Because of previous U.S. actions, it is widely believed that right now there are negotiations in process between Japan, Germany, South Korea, Turkey, and others who are trying to become more closely aligned with the Euro-Asian Trade Zone, in hopes of escaping a tanking U.S. Dollar, and all that comes with it to the extent possible.
Just a month or two ago it was reported that Comex was expecting 21,000 tons of gold on demand standing for delivery. Does it strike anyone else as odd that 20,700 tons of that gold was shipped in from Switzerland?
Based on other circumstantial evidence, many have concluded the massive shipment of gold was needed to prevent the Comex from going insolvent. For those who don’t know what Comex is, Invesopedia defines Comex as:
“The world’s largest physical commodity futures exchange. Trading is conducted through two divisions: the NYMEX Division, which is home to the energy, platinum and palladium markets, and the COMEX Division, where metals like gold, silver and copper and the FTSE 100 index options are traded. The NYMEX uses an outcry trading system during the day and an electronic trading system after hours.”
In Comex contracts, delivery of the metals are required on demand (except during extreme circumstances). During extreme circumstances, Comex withholds the right to suspend delivery. Unfortunately, just about EVERYTHING classifies as an extreme circumstance today, so physical deliveries are not taking place. Similar situations have occurred in Europe sparking some to ask if Banks Are Beginning to Prepare for Nuclear Winter? In the interview below, Dr. Willie breaks down as much as he can in short period.

For the doubters out there, I ask you to consider the fact that something prompted world leaders to begin warning their citizens of catastrophic events possibly looming on the horizon. Countries like Germany and the Czech Republic are being told to store food and emergency supplies in the event of an “existence threatening event.” Even Russia has begun training civilians for how to respond to nuclear attack. The eventual outcome of the currency wars will affect us all. I suggest you check out: What Are Global Leaders All Warning Their Countries to Prepare For? (Video).

The growing concerns around the world have already ignited speculation suggesting at this very moment there are already calls to remove the U.S. Dollar as the reserve currency to settle gold contracts.
Recently, it leaked out in July that back in Match, China had tried to make an announcement they were switching to a gold backed currency, however the Chinese were allegedly told by the U.S. that such an act would be considered an act of war. That’s no shock. U.S. officials know too well, that with a $500 billion trade deficit, losing the Reserve Currency would make the “Tent City” phenomena popping up all over poorer areas (which you can read about below), seem like the Ritz Carleton when compared with losing the Reserve Currency Status.
After the interview, you’ll understand why many experts believe that all roads lead to Martial Law eventually… For those who realize that, you can get a FREE GUIDE for how to survive Martial Law here. In prior posts or videos I’ve also suggested one of the best tools I’ve found to help ordinary people of average means make sure their families and loved ones are taking the BEST steps to protect themselves is the book is titled, “Conquering the Collapse.” Since I have it, you can read my personal review of it here: Be Ready For Any Emergency – The Crucial Guide For Any Family’s Safety.
For some insight into how the global economic shift is going to hit America, the article below on “Tent Cities” does an excellent job getting you warmed up. In the end, it will get much worse. Until then, Enjoy Dr. Willie of course…
Just like during the last economic crisis, homeless encampments are popping up all over the nation as poverty grows at a very alarming rate. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, more than half a million people are homeless in America right now, but that figure is increasing by the day. And it isn’t just adults that we are talking about. It has been reported that that the number of homeless children in this country has risen by 60 percent since the last recession, and Poverty USA says that a total of 1.6 million children slept either in a homeless shelter or in some other form of emergency housing at some point last year. Yes, the stock market may have been experiencing a temporary boom for the last couple of years, but for those on the low end of the economic scale things have just continued to deteriorate.
Tonight, countless numbers of homeless people will try to make it through another chilly night in large tent cities that have been established in the heart of major cities such as Seattle, Washington, D.C. and St. Louis. Homelessness has gotten so bad in California that the L.A. City Council has formally asked Governor Jerry Brown to officially declare a state of emergency. And in Portland the city has extended their “homeless emergency” for yet another year, and city officials are really struggling with how to deal with the booming tent cities that have sprung up…
There have always been homeless people in Portland, but last summer Michelle Cardinal noticed a change outside her office doors.
Almost overnight, it seemed, tents popped up in the park that runs like a green carpet past the offices of her national advertising business. She saw assaults, drug deals and prostitution. Every morning, she said, she cleaned human feces off the doorstep and picked up used needles.
“It started in June and by July it was full-blown. The park was mobbed,” she said. “We’ve got a problem here and the question is how we’re going to deal with it.”
But of course it isn’t just Portland that is experiencing this. The following list of major tent cities that have become so well-known and established that they have been given names comes from Wikipedia…
Camp Hope, Las Cruces, New Mexico [1]
Camp Quixote, Olympia, Washington State[2]
Camp Take Notice, Ann Arbor, Michigan[3]

Most of the time, those that establish tent cities do not want to be discovered because local authorities have a nasty habit of shutting them down and forcing homeless people out of the area. For example, check out what just happened in Elkhart, Indiana…
A group of homeless people in Elkhart has been asked to leave the place they call home. For the last time, residents of ‘Tent City’ packed up camp.
City officials gave residents just over a month to vacate the wooded area; Wednesday being the last day to do so.
The property has been on Mayor Tim Neese’s radar since he took office in January, calling it both a safety and health hazard to its residents and nearby pedestrian traffic.
“This has been their home but you can’t live on public property,” said Mayor Tim Neese, Elkhart.
If they can’t live on “public property”, where are they supposed to go?
They certainly can’t live on somebody’s “private property”
This is the problem – people don’t want to deal with the human feces, the needles, the crime and the other problems that homeless people often bring with them. So the instinct is often to kick them out and send them away.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t fix the problem. It just passes it on to someone else.
As this new economic downturn continues to accelerate, our homelessness boom is going to spiral out of control. Pretty soon, there will be tent cities in virtually every community in America.
In fact, there are people that are living comfortable middle class lifestyles right at this moment that will end up in tents. We saw this during the last economic crisis, and it will be even worse as this next one unfolds.
Just like last time around, the signs that the middle class is really struggling can be subtle at first, but when you learn to take note of them you will notice that they are all around you. The following comes from an excellent article in the New York Post…
Do you see grocery stores closing? Do you see other retailers, like clothing stores and department stores, going out of business?
Are there shuttered storefronts along your Main Street shopping district, where you bought a tool from the hardware store or dropped off your dry cleaning or bought fruits and vegetables?
Are you making as much money annually as you did 10 years ago?
Do you see homes in neighborhoods becoming run down as the residents either were foreclosed upon, or the owner lost his or her job so he or she can’t afford to cut the grass or paint the house?
Did that same house where the Joneses once lived now become a rental property, where new people come to live every few months?
Do you know one or two people who are looking for work? Maybe professionals, who you thought were safe in their jobs?
Don’t look down on those that are living in tents, because the truth is that many “middle class Americans” will ultimately end up joining them.
The correct response to those that are hurting is love and compassion. We all need help at some point in our lives, and I know that I am certainly grateful to those that have given me a helping hand at various points along my journey.
Sadly, hearts are growing cold all over the nation, and the weather is only going to get colder over the months ahead. Let us pray for health and safety for the hundreds of thousands of Americans that will be sleeping in tents and on the streets this winter.
