Here in Armenia, they used to tell you the price for a plane ticket in US dollars. You’d change that much into the local currency, the Armenian dram, then purchase your ticket. Since November 1st, 2007, prices are set in euros. I heard that all the airline companies in Russia and Georgia do the same.
As Paul Craig Roberts wrote, “There is abundant evidence that the loss of confidence in the dollar is underway.” (Hegemony’s cost, Nov. 2, ICH) And he added, “When it is complete, the US will no longer be a superpower.”
Meanwhile, as PCR stated again, “The US government has to rely on foreigners to lend it money for its annual expenditures. Washington’s two biggest bankers are China and Japan...” In my opinion, that means the government of China and Japan are guilty of supporting the US occupation in Iraq, and there is a genocide on the way over there.
They spoke about the cost of the war today on CNN, saying it was about $560 billion dollar. But it’s been said before, and PCR wrote it too, that the war “has run up a one trillion dollar price tag.” What saddens me is that a trillion dollar spent on war actually costs more than just a trillion dollar, because of what you destroy with that trillion dollar. Better simply burn it, if you will, but imagine the results of investing one trillion dollar in, let’s say, folk dance The health and the cultural benefits would be tremendous, and the impact on the economy too. “The war on terror is a hoax,” writes PCR. I believe so!
In other news, my favorite Democratic presidential candidate, Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich is going up in the polls, or so they say. He was second in a straw poll last week, in California. There was Clinton on CNN earlier. As usual, as she spoke the sound was muted, and the CNN people were telling us what she was saying, something useless about Obama, if I remember that right.

[Picture: Round by reading_is_dangerous]On November 2, the greatest 20th-century choreographer of folk dance, Igor Alexandrovic Moiseyev passed away at 101. He was the father of the Theatre of Folk Art, and his work was especially admired “for the balance that it maintained between authentic folk dance and theatrical effectiveness.” (Encyclopædia Britannica). What I saw on Russian TV last night was amazing.
