Agence France Presse (AFP)
“World stock markets slump on fears over European debt levels”
February 6, 2010

The capitalistic financiers of Europe have got a whole lot invested in America, and they don’t want to lose it. They try to save her so they can save their investments, and they’re trying to get the rest of the world to do the same, so they can save her and continue to make a little money on her.
She thinks she’s their owner, but they’re her owner, and unless they rescue her, she’ll die. But they’re only trying to rescue her to save their own investments. So the quicker they cut her loose, the better. It’s totally artificial for them to support the dollar. If they’d just let the dollar sink down to where it belongs, America would sink with it.
