Russia considers shift to Euro instead of dollars for oil
Excellent article over at Democrats.com about this issue. It spells out the quest for war for the control of the oil but of course it has always been the ultimate goal of keeping the world on an econmic dollar/oil scheme. Iraq committed the ultimate crime in shifting to the Euro/oil in 2000 sealing their fate. Saddam would still be there today if he had not switched setting in motion the possibility for other Arab states to follow suit. IMO this is a must read.

As Dr. Sonja Ebron wrote in , February 20, “Given the highly leveraged and fragile state of our economy, an OPEC switch from the dollar to the euro would bring a quick and devastating dollar and Wall Street crash that would make 1929 look like a $50 casino bet.”

I think this danger is for real.
