[00:00:00]That's not true. That's something that his story has made up. The real reason is that in 1971 Nixon removed the US dollar from the gold standard.

[00:00:11]And now the US dollar is worth nothing.

[00:00:14]Before you could take the US dollar and change it for gold, now it's worth nothing.

[00:00:19]If it's worth nothing, what you have to do now is create a demand for it. You basically have to create a Ponzi scheme.

[00:00:28]And so, Nixon did two things to resolve this issue and create the US dollar Ponzi scheme. The first thing he did was create something called the petrodollar.

[00:00:42]Okay?

[00:00:43]The petrodollar is where Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries, like Qatar, UAE, they only sell their oil in US dollars.

[00:00:57]So now, before the value of US dollars was was tied to gold, the gold standard, now the value of US dollars is tied to oil.

[00:01:07]Okay? If you want to buy oil, and everyone wants to buy oil, you need US dollars. Second thing, which is relevant to us, is China, okay? Opening.

[00:01:20]The strategy is to turn China into a manufacturing base for the global economy.

[00:01:30]Right? So, the Middle East sells oil to the world.

[00:01:37]But China now will sell manufactured goods to the world, and China will also do so using US dollars.

[00:01:46]And these two things together create um the current global economy.
