When would Saudi Arabia be free from American coercion to sell oil in US$?

 Countries needing to buy oil from Middle East countries still need to hold US$, since oil is traded in US$. The Middle East holds the key to global need to hold US$ in reserve. If that key can be put aside by the Arabs, the US$ will no longer be important to be held by countries, or at least not as much as required for trade in other commodities other than oil.

For every country around the world, oil is the biggest need for a country's economic activity to function. Everything needs mostly oil to generate electricity for offices, computers, lifts, lighting, air conditioning, home appliances and most of all transportation. Without oil, everything comes to a complete standstill, other than eating, sleeping and shitting.

However, BRICS is the solution to the need for countries to hold huge US$ reserves to buy oil. Russia can do the oil trade in Yuan. Some Middle East oil producers are also using the Yuan in the oil trade. Iran is also doing the oil trade outside the US$. Iran, under sanctions I know, is even using barter trade, exporting oil to China in return for development and consumer goods.

Other BRICS countries will do bi-lateral trade in their own currencies inside the bloc, with even commodity exchanges being set up to facilitate the selling and buying of commodities, all bypassing the use of the US$.

Sure, what is happening is all going on discreetly and patiently executed, ignored by the MSM, but de-dollarization is going on without being monitored closely by the USA and the West. That is the beauty of the system.

When American streets will be paved with dollars

 Just a little story:

In the old days people were led to believe that USA streets were paved with gold and many Chinese were lured to work in the USA thinking of all the gold. What they found out later was that all that glitters painted were not gold, and they realized too late that they were being tricked, and forced to work on building railways, mines and hard labor, helping to build up the USA. I suppose they were paid even far below 'slave wages'. Nothing wrong about that as there was no Human Rights Watch to complain to or International Labour Organization to oversee worker's rights.

When all the dollars return home to the USA, the streets will be paved with dollars now, the walls of buildings will also be paved with dollars, people will even wear clothes sewn using dollar notes, and USA citizens will have to carry dollars around using trolleys. No bags or pockets will be big enough for carrying those dollars around. You see, the USA is not like China, where payments for everything goes through a mobile phone. Cash in hand is still the touted 'King'. That is why they have to keep printing 24/7 to keep up. China better not follow suit or else it will be accused of stealing the USA model.

There will not be any robberies in the USA, as everyone has so many dollars stack up in boxes at home and robbers have no incentives to rob when everyone is so rich. Fewer Law Enforcement Officers will be needed as there will be fewer robberies. Trump already saw the future and asking two million Federal Workers, which includes law enforcement officers, to resign.

Trump wants to cut costs, even removing security protection for ex-administration people like Anthony Fauci (or Doctor Covid) and others like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. He wants to make the USA really swim in dollars.

Trump cutting two million jobs

 Trump is telling two million Federal workers to resign now. He is going to cut spending to give to the super rich by cutting their tax. The bottom half of the population will have to foot the rest of the tax cut for the rich by paying more for imports with the added tariffs. More good years for the Trump voters, LOL.

If cutting two million Federal workers is going to work, that probably means those are most of the touted jobs that were gloated to have been created over the last year or two, that fed into the rosy job figures that they bandied about and salivating. This is another big correction on top of the more than 800 thousand jobs they over reported last year. Inventing a lie to cover a lie can never be without consequences.

Now, am I wrong in saying that the cutting of Federal jobs is going to affect firefighters, law enforcement officers and even the military. Right now, the USA is short of firefighters as discovered during the Los Angeles wildfires. It looks like the best alternative had been using incarcerated people to be trained as firefighters on the cheap, in order words paying them 'slave wages' in return for slave labor, while getting rid of normal firefighters needing higher wages.

Now USA criminals going forward have more freedom to do their stuff, if the job cuts take effect, like selling drugs or raiding shopping malls without fear of arrest, if law enforcement cut is going to reduce law enforcement presence. Trump thinks that only immigrants are criminals and deporting them will take care of USA's crime rate. He is indeed delusional.

DeepSeek - Resistance is futile!

 There is now a frenzied attempt at damage control, which may help to stabilize the bloodletting in the stock prices of Nvidia and other top AI competitors for the moment.

However, since it is free for all users, and open for improvements by other global tech nerds to improve on it, more damage is going to happen further down the road. Unlike other AI developers like OpenAI (open in name only, not in reality), which is not open for users to change or modify its workings, DeepSeek is really the only app that honors the name of being 'open' for all.

As pointed out by Redbean, all other AI apps charge a fee for usage, which some may not afford, so DeepSeek is a Godsend for them. That is the reason why there are people saying that DeepSeek is a dangerous competitor, which is going to eat the breakfast, lunch and dinner of the tech Giants moving and investing big in the AI sector going forward. Who else is going to pump in billions more to be rendered impotent?

This development in AI is history in the making. It will be a defining moment that will determine who is going to be the leader in AI. Will it still be the USA as gloated, by its control of high-end chips from Nvidia or more Chinese owned AI entities like DeepSeek? It will be interesting to see.

USAID is a criminal organisation - Musk

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has accused the US Agency for International Development (USAID) of financing bioweapon research, including projects that allegedly led to the emergence of Covid-19, branding the agency a “criminal organization.”

Musk’s comment came in response to a post from user @KanekoaTheGreat on Sunday, which claimed that USAID had funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance. The post alleged that these funds were used to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, potentially leading to the creation of Covid-19.

“Did you know that USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people?” Musk wrote.

Musk did not elaborate on the allegations, but the post he was responding to further asserted that “the CIA’s deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer when considering USAID’s long history of serving as a CIA front organization.”  RT

The evil Americans' crimes against humanity has reached a stage that it cannot be stomach anymore even by Musk and Trump. Trump has sacked a big bunch of the Americans in USAID to stop them from killing more people. And USAID will be dismantled and folded for good. At least Trump has some good sense to listen to Musk and is doing something good.

All American criminal organisations must be disbanded immediately and top on the list is the CIA followed by the FBI. They have been committing crimes against countries and humanity for decades and the western media have kept mum about this. This is a big swamp that Trump has to clear, to cleanse the sins of the evil American Empire to make America Great Again. America can never be called great as it continues to behave and act like the ruthless and evil terrorists terrorising the whole world. And all the operators in these criminal agencies must be arrested and charged for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

By not reporting about them, by keeping mum, do not mean that no one knows about their evil activities. They have been so blatant that they are even throwing out silly lies and expecting the world not to know and to believe in their lies. Covid19 was a bioweapon the evil Americans launched against the world, to kill and to profit from the sales of equally deadly vaccines. And more are coming as the evil formula proved very successful with many govts cooperating willingly or being coerced to do so. 

How many American bioweapon labs are operating in Asean countries, conducting experiments on Asean people, to be used against Asean people? 'In its latest reports, the Russian Defense Ministry has drawn attention to the transfer of unfinished Ukrainian projects to post-Soviet states and Southeast Asia, and said that Africa has now become a focal point of interest for the US government, which views the region as an unlimited natural reservoir of dangerous pathogens and a testing ground for experimental medical treatments....

During his tenure, Kirillov repeatedly highlighted alleged US biolabs operating globally, focusing on Ukraine, but also pointing to facilities in Southeast Asia, including the US Navy’s now-closed NAMRU-2 laboratory in Jakarta. In his report in 2022, he claimed the lab conducted unauthorized biological research until its closure in 2010 after Indonesia’s Ministry of Health designated it a “threat to national sovereignty.”' RT

The evil American criminal organisations compromised and coerced many govt leaders to become accomplices to their crimes against their citizens and humanity.
