I'm sorry, I don't have much time to send a lengthy reply, but I think this is a very good thread.

I am interested in how you say the US Dollar is now basically backed by oil and not gold or anything else.

I wonder what will happen in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years when we S-L-O-W-L-Y transition away from oil to other fuels? Will the dollar devalue and our economy collapse? Will we go back to gold? Will we get a stranglehold on whatever new fuels emerge? What countries will we invade this time?!?! Oh, the suspense is gonna kill me! (That is, if "terrorists" from whatever country we (US) invade next don't get me first)

That’s exactly the kind of questions US policy makers, and those with a vested interest in the Federal Reserve are asking themselves. Hence, the wars in the Middle East.

Regarding the return to gold, I highly doubt that. Some of the rich elite families, like the Rothschild have been getting out of gold. Something else is coming…

Wizard of Oz anecdote
BTW did anyone know that The Wizard of Oz was written by an journalist with interest in economics? The scarecrow represents the American farmers, TinMan represents the American Industrial workers and the lion represents the courage of the American people. The yellow brick road represents the gold standard that leads to Washington. (Supporters of the gold standard) In the original book Dorothy’s slippers were made of silver, clicking them together 3 times represents going back to the silver standard, which the author supported.

This anecdote was in my 2nd year under-grad macro-economics textbook.

There is a tread somewhere on ATS about Iran moving the oil bourse to euro instead of dollars. This is closely linked to your post, so logically Iran will be next to be invaded. Second largest opec producer, so the US will probably invade and control oil resources in $. I think this is confirmed, certainly reading today that Iran has 30 days to come clean concerning their nuclear options. Think about Iraq, same tools were used to invade, first UN security counsel for WMD, then inspectors then invasion.

Will we same the same, I bet we will. But Iran is much more dangerous then Sadam was, and Russia and China are not backing the other UN Countries, knowing they import a lot of oil/gas from Iran.

Kick the $, boycot the US, and let them IMPLODE, except military, technology and fast food, they have no resources to propose to the world.
If opec stopped exporting OIL to the US, there economy would break into pieces.
Never forget the richest countries are the midle east ones, then the african in terms of resources, time to clame back their wealth.

The rebellion is growing.... let the US implode , so we get rid of the evil doers.

Thw NWO is here folks, they put King George on his throne in 2000 and again in 2004 to ensure that they could have they're war for oil and profit!

Doubts? Just check who the players are in the profiteering lottery that George & Dick have been running since the coup in 2000:

Most direct profiteers can be linked right back to Dicks Haliburton and its multiple sub-contractor spin-offs, where all of our tax dollars still end up in the Haliburton till box and eventually in the Cheney bank holdings.

and

Daddy Bush's consortium called The Carlyle Group, who includes none other than members of the BinLaden Family as well as many other ultra rich one percenters who've been getting rich on our tax dollars since the Reagan-Bush era, when all of this NWO nonsense started.

Are you beginning to see who the NWO are, New World Order is GHW Bush and his rich cronie, bleeding our country dry, ensuring that America will be the newest member of the Third World once they're done bleeding every last penny from the US and detroying those uppity middle class scoundrels!!

How dare anyone try to enter the ranks of the old money Wealthy... if you didn't inherit the money via steel, timber, oil and war, your just an upstart punk trying to play with the big boys!!

TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY FROM THE NEO-CON's
SURELY YOU REAL REPUBLICAN CAN SEE THROUGH THIS CON JOB, CAN'T YOU? TAKE BACK YOUR PARTY... SO WE CAN ALL TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA!!

I was under the impression that NWO described the group of Elite (plutocrats) that currently collectively rule the world? Is that not the case?

And if that’s the case hasn’t corporate power eroded the line between nations and corporations?

IMHO that is the NWO, and it’s very much here.

What you mention is only one version.
There are a number of versions as to what the "New World Order" implies.

From an international relations studies perspective, the reality of the "New World Order" is erroneous, not being remotely supported by the current/prevailing international system, which is incidentally, unipolar and hegemonic, but not anything closely resembling a "new world order."
