China invades the United States

Well, it´s happening folks! China has permission to establish a beachead in the US banking system.

If you want to know more, click here. The only reason to allow such a move is to shore up the dying dollar. The Fed has granted permission for China´s largest bank to buy 80% control in a western bank and there are others about to be bought or started in the midwest and the east coast. The link to an article tells it all. But, what does it mean? It means that our economy will soon be dependent on the strength of China´s economy. Remember China? Yeah, the country that built ghost cities to shore up the real estate numbers and now has a couple of hundred cities of modern architecture that are virtually empty. Talk about a bubble! When that one pops, it´ll be like a black hole! It will suck in everything touching it! Get out of dollars now. Get gold. Get silver. What the heck! Get cinderblocks! Anything tangible but remove yourself from the currency systems as much as you can!

There will be a really neat side effect if you do! The US government wants to know all about your financial assets, especially foreign. If you don´t have financial assets, there is no reporting requirement! YAY! Privacy at last! (Well, sort of.)

Why do you suppose this is happening? No doubt something BIG is about to happen and it probably isn't nice. These people appear to be distancing themselves from something. The story which lists the above appeared in the Washington Post but I was unable to link the to the page as it was no longer posted. Wonder why. Anyway, it could be the world is about to get a new banking system so, if you have money in the bank, you may want to take out some for a few days.
