    By the way, cryptocurrencies are a scam, and there is nothing to support their false value and no laws that regulate them and protect the rights of the owners of that illusion, unlike approved and recognized banks. This confirms the stock market's involvement in fraud and false values. this was written years ago too.

    There is someone who has created stock exchange for speculation (evaluating things). How will he evaluate what he owns and what he will buy? Will he give an unreal and exaggerated value to what he owns, while granting or imposing a low value that does not represent the true value of what he will buy, and thus the stock exchange he created is just a platform for fraud? Who founded the stock market and on what basis? Was the rest of the world consulted or was fraud imposed?

    Rather, the most important question is: Has the dollar become dependent on the economies of the world as a whole, since it represents the global financial system? Is there someone who makes profits on behalf of others? Is there manipulation and fraud? Are there parasites that live on human tragedies? Why not build a new global financial system that all countries of the world agree on?

    This may be more clear: Suppose you own something of value and it is valued based on a currency of unknown value that dominates the global financial system, then you will lose that valuable thing in exchange for something of unknown value, even if it is able to buy something else of value as a result of its dominance of the global financial system. In short, the global financial system may collapse one day, so what will remain then? (What makes money maintain its value? Does that money represent, for example, gold as its balance? Do all those billions of dollars really represent anything of value, or is fraud an essential part of that system?)

    All must realize the danger of the dominance of one country’s currency over the global financial system and using it as a reference, as this will lead to the dissolution of the economies of the weak economies in that unknown financial system (no one knows the true value of the dollar and what is the quantity that was printed as a result of the dominance of that global financial system)... . Etc. Therefore, a new global financial system must be established and solutions must be found for the dominance of one country’s currency over that global financial system and the profits it earns, other than the dissolution of the economies of the countries in that financial system and the amount of fraud and manipulation to compensate for the deficit as a result of excessive spending at the expense of the rest of the countries of the world.

    Some governments of underdeveloped countries have deliberately changed the exchange rate with the aim of reducing the amount of foreign currency expenditures (the dollar), by reducing the actual value of citizens’ salaries by lowering the exchange rate (unofficially, but with the aim of fraud). Which led to inflation (the Bedouins act as pimps for foreigners). For example, you find ambassadors from Western countries without embassies and they use militias to protect them while on the move, with the aim of spreading strife and chaos (state instability means plundering of public money resulting from the plundering of natural resource revenues and transferring them to the banks of the countries of those ambassadors). )...

    Floating the currency only succeeds if there is a strong and stable economy, and strong, high-quality industry is the most guarantee and stability of the economy. Economically weak countries cannot float their local currency without serious consequences, so stable countries with a weak economy do not resort to floating their currency, but rather work to stabilize their national currency through multiple sources of income for the national income. This is the reason why some European countries, such as the Czech Republic and others, returned their national currency, as they cannot resist the economy of economically dominant countries such as Germany and France. This applies to the effect of making the currency of a foreign country, such as the dollar and the euro, a reference in third world countries.

  • @aminam9201
    @aminam92012 күн бұрын

    The dollar has been used as a reference to exchange the local currency in some underdeveloped countries with the aim of defrauding the general public. The reason for this is greed, ignorance and lack of patriotism. For example, in one of the countries whose main source of income from the dollar is oil revenues, it offered the dollar for sale in a parallel market (an official market and an official market). Another parallel is for the purpose of fraud to reap profits), and one of the countries several times floated its national currency against the dollar with the aim of reaping profits, as the income of the citizen in that country suddenly decreases several times to reach a level below the poverty line…. ( Floating the local currency in an economically weak country that does not have a strong local industry that can satisfy local demand and export, etc. is due to ignorance (the dominance of one currency in the global economy poses a danger to economically weak countries that are politically, economically, and security-unstable, and usually the collapse of the local currency indicates to the collapse of the state (weak government), and this is more clear in countries that gain hard currency from valuable local natural resources (usually in such a cases, foreign intervention is involved)) By the way, it is naive to expect a private bank to issue its own currency or print the same local currency, as that is the job of the central bank. This did not happen because it is the job of state, and doing so is considered a major economic crime in all countries.

    This might be more clear: Suppose you live in a country that has its own currency but uses the dollar for commercial transactions, what would that mean? Your currency will lose part of its value and will become part of the financial system dominated by the currency of a specific country. Therefore, the currency used in global financial transactions must not belong to a specific country, but rather a new currency or financial system agreed upon by all countries. What does the currency represent?!

This was applied to all people in all countries of the world. The main beneficiary of all of this is the country that owns the currency that dominates the global financial system (this poses a danger to countries with weak economies, etc.).

US found its target in Russia as an imaginary weak enemy (it needs that faked weak enemy) that it used to justify what it was doing. Russia was used as a punishment for some countries, for example it punished Cuba through Russia's support for it led to its backwardness for nearly a hundred years. Russia is famous for manufacturing a certain weapon and only vodka, and Russia transferred intelligence information to US against Russia's alleged allies. Russia recently allied itself with a member of NATO, namely Turkey, to occupy and plunder some African countries..

    32:00 the answer is here: In 1970, France discovered that America was printing the dollar without a gold cover, and it, along with a number of European and Asian countries, stopped dealing with the dollar. French President De Gaulle came out in a famous speech addressing America: You will not buy our gold with paper. Accordingly, the United States exerted pressure and blackmail on several countries that possess important natural resources, provided that they would not sell those resources except in dollars. Thus, the United States regained its financial dominance, but through fraud and blackmail. In order for this not to happen again, in 1971, the United States abolished the link between the dollar and gold. thus US was free to print any amount of dollars without covering it with gold, and thus it was able to defraud several countries by plundering the gold that it had previously deposited in exchange for the dollar.
