More Copper Reserves for China (April 30, 2009)
The price of copper was forecasted to fall 20% this year in this economic recession but it increased 50% instead: China is willing to pay around $5,000 the ton of copper instead of buying more US Treasury Bonds. China has purchased 375,000 tons of copper in March and increasing each month. The Chinese Central Bank governor Xiaochuan view the US financial famine to a black hole since the US is about to print more dollars to paying the Chinese State, thus practically devaluing the US currency and reselling the Chinese more hot air. The Chinese are not about to re-value the Yuan before the US and the European Union restore credibility and confidence in the financial system.
Among the many industrial usage of copper is the manufacture of hybrid engines in cars that China is putting in its market. Italy has been promoting hybrid cars for a while and many more gas stations are filling methane gas. Methane does not emit carbon dioxide. The driver would start and accelerate on regular gas and then shift into methane combustion. As a matter of fact, the Green Peace advocates regards the European Union policy of selling carbon dioxides permits to the heavier polluters is not reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere. For example, Germany has reduced its polluting energy consumption by 15% by relying on Aeolians, solar panels, and biomass; thus, Germany would sell 15% reduction in pollution to Poland and Slovenia that are still relying on coal.
I read in a post the following information: 62% of the World’s copper is used for the production of small denomination coins such as the penny. 84% of small denomination coins are classed by the World’s Governments as missing – it is presumed that members of the public have stashed the coins as savings. On average, each person in the World has stashed $22.34 worth of copper in small denomination coins.
Goldman Sachs predicts that the GNP of China will surpass Japan by 2010 and the USA before 2030. India will surpass Japan by 2030 and become third after the USA. Brazil will be fifth after Japan in 2030.
China is using its two trillion dollars surplus to accumulating reserves in aluminum, zinc, nickel, titanium, indium and rhodium so that it may resume its industrial acceleration once the current crisis is stabilized. This policy of purchasing minerals instead of US Treasury Bonds is compatible with China recommendation of creating an international banknote indexed on the prices of a basket of raw materials as was proposed by John Maynard Keynes at Bretton Woods in 1944; the “bancor” of Keynes was based then on 30 raw materials.
I suggest in a previous post “The Third World War is Tolling” the folowing:
“First, the developed States have to agree on another tangible standard (like gold) for currencies. Gold would not do because the US has abolished it in 1967 because all the gold in the world could not sustain the huge amount of paper dollars circulating or intended to circulate around the world. The alternative is a basket of depleting minerals that are essentials for manufacturing and production. The processed minerals do not have to be rare but very essentials for development. The US can agree to this idea since it has huge reserves in many important minerals.
Second, all the States that can account for at least 3% of all curency circulation should join an “International Money Printing Council” with tight control and monitoring creteria. Any combined States with over 40% of cash money shares in the global market should have a veto power.
Failing a convincing and sustainable agreement for monetary stability the Third World War is altready in the planning stage as the easiest and quickest way out of that morass. Only in major wars do printed money with no tangible backing has mythical values. No, the next region for the war scene is not Iran: no European or US soldiers want to fight in this “cursed region”. It won’t be Afghanistan: if Afghanistan was worth it then Bush Junior would not have invaded Iraq before stabilizing Afghanistan. It won’t be North Korea: it is bordering China. The batlefield will not be in any area bordering Russia. It won’t be the Congo River zone: no Western soldiers is about to step in this infested and contagious disease plagued region with AIDS consuming 30% of the population. The next world war is in Sudan, this continent/State rich in oil and all kinds of minerals”.
Actually, Sudan is the focus of investment for China in the last two decades.
Code Name for the timing of The Crash: rule China (part 2)

Code name for the timing of the Wall Street crash: rule China (part 2, November 23, 2008)
The code name for the precise timing of the financial crisis was:
Artificial oil price increases or (AOPI) and the messenger was the multinational financial brokerage firm Lehman Brothers.
All the members in the cartel of the financial multinationals received the order to activate the countdown for the Wall Street crash: they sold out their shares to invest in anything that has real value. The little people who invested their life savings in stocks paid the price.
The FED, the Treasury and all the US multinational financial institutions knew the theory of Money Trade Cycle that when the trend of inflation is continuously on the rise then the outcome is a financial crisis.
The theory established that businesses and economy follow a pattern of upswings and downturns, and if the government refrains from meddling with the normal interest rates of doing business then the market economy based on real value-added economy will adjust to the changes.
The problem was that the USA was no longer producing any real value-added economy for decades: the US consumers were enjoying low priced items imported from China and the manufacturing bases were exported overseas to benefit from cheap manpower and limited legal constraints.
The world had already experienced a vivid advance taste of financial crisis in 1989 in the south-east Asian markets, Japan and Latin America.
The fundamental problem was tackled by the Asian States and they worked harder to produce value-added economy.
The successive US Administrations and politicians had no guts to tell the American people the hard facts, that a recession is as sure as the sun rises, and that getting back to work harder on producing what people need to buy is a must. Instead, the US multinationals resorted to creative embezzlement fiduciary schemes (secondary and tertiary worthless paper money gimmicks) to resume world financial market hegemony
The FED knowingly, through political pressures, kept lowering the interest rates below the healthy level of a normal market economy which overextended credits for a decade and thus generated inflation rates that could no longer be controlled or stabilized.
The US Bush Jr. Administration decided, unilaterally and without a UN resolution, for a pre-emptive war on Iraq. The US Administration invaded Iraq on the basis that the military expense will generate many folds in profit through the control of oil distribution and blackmailing the neighboring Arab rich sovereign funds of the potential threat of Iran.
The Arab rich States were no fouls of that strategy but they went along. They are mere small States of oligarchies and monarchies with no national identity. If these States were nations then the citizens would have taken stands; any stand would have cost much less than the trillions of dollars injected for the US citizens to resume their lavish spending on consumerism, new gas guzzling cars, stocks, and overvalued Real Estates.
The FED, the Treasury and the cartel of multinational financial institutions knew that the normal scheme of siphoning in the sovereign funds of the oil rich States and the small stock investors had reached a plateau.
It reached a plateau because the investors realized that a crisis is in the offing and the scheme could not function normally unless the same level of increase in junk paper investment is maintained.
Since the scheme reached a plateau then it was time to decide on the appropriate timing to activate the financial crisis: it was much better for the crash to take place at the very end of an administration and then to pressure the politicians to agree on a financial rescue package.
The timing was perfect: since no more foreign financial rescue is coming in then the financial rescue will happen under duress from all rich States.
The motto was: either you caught up under duress or you will all have to suffer a global economic recession.
The world lauded the US for its timely energetic reaction of rounding up 700 billion dollars to rescue the failing commercial banks.
Wrong; the package was already decided upon before the crash and the bold figure of 700 billions dollars was psychologically marketed as covering the 60% of the unsolvable Real Estates: the US people would gladly preserve its homes and pay for it. The trick: this package is a first installment and other packages are waiting in the queue pending the appropriate political conditions.
Well, financial rescue came from everywhere but this didn’t stop recession anyway. How can you stop recession when the USA is not producing any value that people are ready to purchase?
The worst part is that President Obama is not willing to challenge the US citizens with the hash facts, at least not for a long time to come.
The US people has preferred the lax attitude since the Reagan Administrations: most of the US citizens wanted to believe in an illusory wealth assuming that the worldwide acceptance of the dollars as the currency of choice is more than sufficient to keeping the illusion alive and kicking.
The hard facts are in; tackling decades of myopia and dependence on the hard work of the other people has to be grabbed by the horns.
The world recession is the making of the lazy, faint hearted US people who failed, in their cockiness, to recall what made them a great nation!
Only one giant Nation is winning: China.
China got the USA by the throat. The US is totally dependent on China in cheap import products and the purchase of US treasury bonds for many decades to come. China can direct the US financial policies and foreign policies. It had done it already. The US had been doing it with the Latin American States and everywhere else for decades. Rule China, rule!
