Medvedev Shows Off Sample Coin of New ‘World Currency’ at G-8.

[Middleaged]

Unified in purpose, diverse in nature...

To me its still an oxymoron... or the above could be the U.S.S.R.

Hmmmmm.........

A flag might help, but I think I've seen most of those, worker, sickle, star, loving masses walking behind...

[IrishTom]

I bet he just did it to get the NWO freaks going.

In varietate concordia - United in Diversity is the motto of the EU. So he'll have to think of a better one.

He also had a fair sup to drink at the auld G8 meeting, could Medvedev be the new Boris?

are you realy as retarded as you come across...

[youngdan]

It is after we started argueing about it. Saratoga must have gotten bably hurt as he was averaging down the Irish banks. A poster called Garibaldi came in telling how he was down on the backs and asking advice. I told him to sell 70% immediately. If he did he was blessed but Saratoga told him not to sell.

BS is discussed at lenght later when it was gobbled.

Fair dues to him. It was a classic.

There is an old game in inter-state relations when you want to play psychological games, usually with a new government - do something to freak out the loo-la brigade in that country. That undermines their support for their government by feeding them something to fuel conspiracy theories, and so weakens the government. Result: you put them on the defensive and they try to calm their nutter brigade down, leaving you in control having scored a psychological hit.


If you want to freak out the Irish, you suggest their leader is being duped by the Brits.

If you want to freak out the Brits or the Americans, suggest their currency is under threat.

If you want to freak out the Chinese, suggest you are gonna make a really big issue of Tibet and human rights.

If you want to freak out Africans, suggest their government is in league with the former colonial power.

As usual, the usual loo-las in the US (and on this site) fell for it hook, line and sinker! All he had to do was flash a dummy coin and suggest it is the design for a supposed world currency that will replace the dollar and bingo, the American right are spitting blood, jamming website, loading their guns and accusing Obama of being a traitor, a commie, etc.

As usual the American far right are too dumb to see that they are being played with in a clever stunt. Their conspiracy theory paranoia has been set off again.

Richelieu, Bismarck, Lloyd George etc were famed for pulling those stunts. It is a standard psychological game. In modern international states the gamje isn't to play with the heads of the leaders but with the heads of their citizens, freaking them out and so undermining their support for their leader.

Machiavelli would have been proud of it.

BANG ON.

folks sometimes forget that the Russians are masters at the game of chess. this stunt is definitely aimed at Obama, more than us (as we're used to the Euro concept by now)

Are you another one that missed the bric conference of a few weeks back

Are you another one that missed the bric conference of a few weeks back

never heard of it. so i guess i did miss it.

what was it about?

[youngdan]

It was about the issue of replacing the US dollar from it's position of being the worlds reserve currency. This position enables the US to field the military machineit otherwise could not.

This was the most important development this century to date from a geopolitical view imo.
