Today is the anniversary of 9 / 11 in the United States. More than 21 years ago, terrorists attacked the United States.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States became the world’s hegemon. It thought that petrodollars were unbreakable and could manipulate all countries in the world at will. If it wanted to engage in a financial war, it could reap the wealth accumulated in Southeast Asia for decades.
They want to maintain the satisfaction of their own people when financial capital is plundered more, so they frantically suppress the oil price in the Middle East. Think about it. Why are terrorists in the Middle East less active every time the oil price rises to a high level?
To put it bluntly, in modern society, people are all economic animals. When the gangsters in our county help people collect money, they all provide order based services. They don’t give money. Do you think the elder brother can call the younger brother at will?
Of course, there are so-called extremists who are born with a strong desire for destruction, but how large is the proportion of such people in the crowd? The so-called extremes also mean that there must be a minority.
In the above figure, I marked the trend of international oil prices from January 1999 to November 2001 with lines.
The oil price rose from $10 a barrel to $37, and then was hit back below $20.
Think about it. Who will be most dissatisfied in this process? If you are a big oil producer, you believe in the promise of the United States, tighten your belt and guard against a sharp decline. It is easy to recover a little, and people start to smash the plate again.
Don’t tell me that the economy determines the oil price. Let’s see if the world economy is good now? It is certainly not as good as before the epidemic, but how much has the oil price increased?
It is said that the big financier behind Osama bin Laden is a big dog family. When the big dog family has a good economy, it will scatter all kinds of money. Happy, once the economy is bad, there will be problems with its own internal religion. If we don’t bring the bad water out to harm others, can we leave it at home to harm ourselves?
Of course, 9 / 11 successfully brought crude oil into the six-year bull market. The peak oil price soared past $140, so international players shouted everywhere that $200 was not a dream, and fooled many silly domestic funds to accept orders at a high level.
Therefore, if we look at some things from another angle, we will inevitably come to many different conclusions.
Americans shot a Fahrenheit 9 / 11, which directly targeted the terrorist attack at the then President George W. Bush, believing that the Bush family had an ambiguous relationship with terrorists.
George W. Bush and Vice President Cheney are spokesmen for oil interests. Of course, they want to raise the price of oil. Another thing is that when the price of oil is high, the demand for petrodollars will increase dramatically, and the business of the Federal Reserve’s money printing machine will come?
Just as Bill Clinton left, he threw a big hole for the Bush administration that the foam of the Internet economy had burst. Oil prices in the Middle East can fill this hole.
But I don’t believe that George W. Bush participated in 9 / 11. In those two buildings of the Empire State Building, how many financial magnates were taken away. How many descendants of American powerful families were involved in finance? In addition, there was a plane to attack the Pentagon. We should know that the military has always been controlled by the Republican forces. George W. Bush just looks naive, but he is not stupid. He also has such a distinguished background. When he became the first person in the United States, why did he go to get involved in this kind of brain loss?
It is one thing to know that terrorists in the Middle East want to do things and seize the opportunity of 9 / 11 to hype up oil prices, but it is another thing to personally participate in the end.
It’s important to raise the price of oil, but it’s more important to keep the expensive oil under the control of Americans.
As we all know, George W. Bush is one of the most friendly US presidents to China in the past 30 years. It is said that there is neither love nor hatred in the world for no reason. Some people say that Bush has courted big countries to be particularly friendly in order to fight terrorism in the Middle East.
But for the United States, anti-terrorism is tantamount to anti-aircraft bombardment of mosquitoes. Is it really difficult to use amelika’s powerful force to smooth over the Middle East?
In economics, to sell a thing at a high price, the most important thing is that there is enough demand. If the price is higher than the quantity, there must be a large buyer with strong financial strength. If not, then some people are willing to cultivate one.
Yes, after China’s accession to the WTO, the demand for oil will certainly increase day by day. As for the so-called China threat theory, at that time, it seemed that Republicans who had great confidence in the strength of the US military could use it to talk about things and cheat military spending a lot. But do you really think they would worry about the threat from the east?
However, the large market of 1.3 billion people is certainly coveted. The so-called low-end industrial chain can eat China’s demographic dividend, and the high-end financial service industry can also cut a leek to get rich first.
At that time, the US military saw that the Middle East could make a big deal, and it was not in the mood to go to deceive the China threat theory and eat a little bit of corners.
Therefore, the charming little Bush suddenly remembered the good years he spent in Beijing as a teenager, and he was full of good feelings and friendship for the great powers in the East. Therefore, with the strong support of the United States, the negotiations on China’s accession to the WTO have proceeded smoothly.
After the 9 / 11 incident, the US dollar index was hit a little, falling all the way from the highest 120.99. The reason is very simple. First of all, the whole world has discovered that your bullying Americans have been stolen from their homes, and the core financial centers such as the Empire State building will be attacked. How can you protect the security of our wealth?
As a result, hot money withdrew from the United States one after another and went to Europe. At this time, the slogan of love and peace in the euro area was particularly beautiful.
In 1999, in order to deter international capital from running blindly to Europe, the United States launched a war of the Kosovo war, so hot money was afraid, and just came to the United States to pick up the plate of the Internet foam, which was accurately harvested at the top.
In 2001, 911 broke out in the United States. Of course, Americans could go to the Middle East to carry out a series of intimidating diplomacy and directly attack Afghanistan. Although Afghanistan has the advantage of geographical location, it is a little far from the oil in the Middle East and has no first-hand control over the oil producing areas.
Since 2002, oil prices have continued to rise because of China’s surging demand, and the oil barons in the Middle East have tasted a little sweetness. All in all, Iran and Iraq are the two big thorns in the Middle East. Iran is a hard bone, and if it is hard to bite, it may break its teeth. It just happens that Iraq has made enemies everywhere, and big dog families are afraid of his use of force. In the first Gulf War, Iraq has been seriously injured, and after several years of survival, They even want to settle oil in Euro with Europe.
The Lords of the Middle East are afraid that the goods will curry favor with Europe, recover their strength, and continue to harm their neighbors.
After all, when we came out of the Ottoman Empire, we were not less harmed by this group of imperialists. Later, we established our country one by one, and the remaining evils of this group of imperialism were not less blocked.
For the princes, the United States is nothing more than collecting some benefits. Europe, a good guy, always preaches ideology nearby, causing domestic unrest.
As a result, everyone agreed to attack Iraq, so some people bribed Iraqi officials to carry out rebellion, and some people went to the United Nations to make laundry and forcibly fabricated reasons for attacking Iraq.
When it comes to counter-terrorism, in fact, the dog tycoons who really collude with Osama bin Laden the most are well protected. Do you think this can be achieved by paying money?
Later in the Iraq war, American soldiers marched in without any decent resistance. Would it be so easy without the help of local aborigines?
There are American soldiers staring at it covetously. The euro can’t buy oil directly, it has to be converted into US dollars.
In order to fight this war, the Fed’s money printing machine can be opened up again. Against the backdrop of high oil prices, the problem of excessive printing of US dollars seems less frightening.
China’s accession to the WTO will hit Europe’s industrial economy the most, which the United States is happy to see.
Under the strong impact of “made in China”, a large number of middle – and low-end industries in Europe went bankrupt, and the higher end industries were highly dependent on the United States. They used high oil prices to consume Europe’s consumption power. Therefore, in the collapse of the Soviet Union, European capital who had taken a lot of benefits began to spit out.
The hollowed out Europe then began to learn from the United States to play finance, vigorously pursuing high welfare under high debt and prosperity foam under idle capital, which just hit the American path.
The world does not need two financial centers and two reserve currencies. The opposite of the US dollar is the euro.
In order to pit Europe, even Russia, which barely survived and almost died of shock therapy, was released.
The oil price soared. Of course, Russia’s economy, which defends its rich crude oil reserves, rose. If you don’t believe it, try smashing the oil price below $20 for a long time. If the king of heaven comes to the presidency, it will not save Russia, which has been deceived into shock.
In order to cultivate large customers and expand the demand for dollars and oil, George W. Bush was kind until the end of his term of office. In his last year, he also took his family to the Beijing Olympic Games and left many charming photos.
Some people say that 9 / 11 is a blessing to China, which allows the United States to turn its strategic center to the Middle East, leaving China with enough room for development. It is really good to say that the United States is treated very well. Without 9 / 11, George W. Bush wanted to raise oil prices in order to solve domestic economic problems, which means that there will be a war.
Accidental events can not change the inevitable trend of certain things, but only affect the degree and node.
China’s development does not depend on American handouts. It depends on self-reliance. Capital will not trade at a loss. Otherwise, you can ask why they do not go to India. In terms of demographic dividend, language advantage and ideology, India is not more palatable to Americans than China?
When capital is profitable, even the noose for hanging oneself will be sold.
Don’t let our lady’s heart attack. We want people to repent for 9 / 11. Is it Chinese who crashed into the building? Aren’t all the teachers of terrorists CIA? Without the permission of the US government, where can the CIA train terrorists in batches?
All the causes and effects are self inflicted. There is no big hole in oil speculation and real estate speculation. How can there be a subprime crisis? Without the subprime crisis, how could the United States have reached such a stage?
