A dramatic rise in violence in Pakistan could be beneficial for Wall Street, which would like to capitalize on “world-wide fear” to rehabilitate the dollar, believes journalist Webster Tarpley.
“All the hot money of the world, under the condition of a world-wide panic might flee back into the dollar, which would allow the propping up of the dollar compared to the euro and the yen,” Tarpley told RT. “Suppose you have a full-scale civil war in Pakistan. Suppose the Taliban get somewhere near the nuclear forces of Pakistan. That would result in a large regional crisis causing some kind of a shocking, spectacular world panic. There are people in Wall Street who would like to do that.”

Online fight against Obama – thousands joinAn online game oriented against Obama’s administration has become a handy tool for opponents of the US president. |
War, whether it be international or national (civil) is unpredictable. Hypothesis such as the US using a Civil war within Pakistan to prop up the dollar is ridiculous. Any further global conflicts and instability are more likely to cause investors and countries to buy gold, silver, and other rare / precious metals rather than pieces of paper tied to to one nation.
