Saudi Arabia Threatens To Liquidate Its Treasury Holdings If Congress Probes Its Role In Sept 11 Attacks

Many "conspiracy theories" are being proven fact.  Saudis did play a role in the September 11, 2001 attacks, sovereign governments do have the US over a barrel with their US Treasury holdings (and their threats to dump said holdings), and the US government is more concerned with covering up terrorist investigations which would implicate the perpetrators.  No wonder families of 9/11 victims are incensed.

One is thing is becoming clear to the sleepy-eyed:  USDollar hegemony (and maintenance of US Petrodollar status) trumps everything else.

Russia Dumps 20% Of Its Treasury Holdings As Mystery "Belgium" Buyer Adds Another Whopping $40 Billion

This is speculation, but with the Fed tapering QE to keep the inflationistas at bay, it is now masking its purchasing of US Treasuries by using Belgium as its purchasing agent.  Without this artificial demand, the US Treasury bond market would collapse, interest rates would soar, and the insolvent US Treasury would be bankrupt overnight.

Think about it:  would you lend money at 2-3% bond yields and tying up your money for 10 - 30 years knowing the borrower's income is $17 trillion, with official debt of $17 trillion, and off-balance, unfunded debt obligations greater than $222 trillion?

Wake up, America.
