You know, if I were a country wanting to weaken the US economy, the credibility of the country not just around the world but at home and I wanted to weaken them militarily....... I'd just use counter espionage and show them anything they wanted to cause them to war with a country.
In otherwords..... say country "A" knows that we are watching Iraq for WMD's. They plant all kinds of evidence that says the WMD's are there. The first president just bombs and doesn't do much, the second president, who is looking for reasons, is more compliant and accepting to the false information I am giving out.
So seemingly to Congress, the President and everyone the evidence and cause is there on the surface. The President just chose not to dig deep enough to see what the truth was.
The US goes to war, the deficit skyrockets and I am sitting on a pile of US dollars waiting for the right minute to dump them onto the market and demand payment of their trade debts to me.
Not to mention I have created all kinds of domestic unrest and finger pointing. Of course, I had my good friends who cared far more about power than the people and the truth blindly going down the maze I loaded.
Sound absurd? As I have been studying the deficit (both national and trade) I am running across all kinds of info about the Chinese, Japanese, European Central Bank, Gates, Buffett and so on already leaving the Dollar for the Euro.
The debt is coming due and IMHO, the scenario I just gave you as paranoid as it sounds.... maybe more realistic than you care or want to believe......
Time will tell. I pray I am wrong.
