The Goldsmiths—Part LV
By R. D. Bradshaw
There
have been several news reports this past week on the upcoming G20 meeting in London
on April 2d. Perhaps the Chinese and
Russians have been the most noteworthy in their plans for a new world reserve
currency to replace the dollar. The
Russians have had a focus on a basket of currencies or regional currencies
which would open the door for the Russian ruble to gain a par status with the
dollar and other key currencies.
For
a while, it looked like the Chinese would back the Russian approach. However, as late as March 24, 2009, a report
from London’s Financial Times offered more details on something the Chinese
broached lightly a few days ago on a push for a resurrection and new role of
power for the Special Drawing Rights.
This
Financial Times article, by Jamil Anderlini, was on “China calls for new
reserve currency.” The article quoted
Zhou Xiaochuan, China’s central bank’s governor. He wants the new reserve currency to be
controlled by the International Monetary Fund.
While much of the former talk has been on regional currencies and/or
basket of currencies, the Chinese proposal is for a powerful new role for the Special
Drawing Rights (SDR). These SDRs are now
based on four currencies-the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the euro and the
British pound. They are used largely as
a unit of account by the IMF and other international organizations.
China
wants to expand the basket of currencies forming the basis of the SDR
valuation. China wants the valuation to
include all major currencies (presumably to include the Chinese yuan and the
Russian ruble). China also wants a
settlement system between the SDRs and other currencies so that they can be
freely used in international trade and financial transactions. The SDRs would be managed by the IMF and
would gradually replace existing reserve currencies.
The
Times quoted Mr. Zhou as saying that the proposal
would require “extraordinary political vision and courage.” He also acknowledged a debt to John Maynard
Keynes, who made a similar suggestion in the 1940s. As is known by many people, Keynes was the
father of deficit spending and the demise of gold.
Backdrop on the SDRs
These
SDRs came into usage in 1969. It was
envisioned then that they would become the paper international currency used in
international trade and especially in the settlement of accounts. But since the scheme involved a give away of these
SDRs to key central banks (which are owned by the huge international banks),
the plan never really was acceptable around the world. By the 1970s, dissatisfaction over the SDRs
set in to limit their use and acceptance globally.
Wikipedia
gives this backdrop on the purpose and current use of the SDRs: “SDRs are used as a unit of account by the
IMF and several other international organizations. A few countries peg their currencies against
SDRs, and it is also used to denominate some private international financial
instruments. For example, the Warsaw
convention, which regulates liability for international carriage of persons,
luggage or goods by air uses SDRs to value the maximum liability of the
carrier…
“SDRs were originally created to replace Gold and
Silver in large international transactions. Being that under a strict
(international) gold standard, the quantity of gold worldwide is relatively
fixed, and the economies of all participating IMF members as an aggregate are
growing, a perceived need arose to increase the supply of the basic unit or
standard proportionately. Thus SDRs, or ‘paper gold’, are credits that nations
with balance of trade surpluses can 'draw' upon nations with balance of trade
deficits.
“So-called ‘paper gold’ is little more than an
accounting transaction within a ledger of accounts, which eliminates the
logistical and security problems of shipping gold back and forth across borders
to settle national accounts.
“Joseph Stiglitz has argued that usage by central
banks of SDRs as foreign exchange reserve could be viewed as the prelude to the
creation of a single world currency. It
must be understood that Gold and Silver have filled the role as global
currencies for several thousand years of recorded history…Support for SDRs in
the global finance system has historically been very weak, as other fiat
currencies have largely supplanted the SDR as value storage mechanisms…
“The value of one SDR in terms of United States
dollars is determined daily by the IMF, based on the exchange rates of the
currencies making up the basket, as quoted at noon at the London market. (If
the London market is closed, New York market rates are used; if both markets
are closed, European Central Bank reference rates are used.)”
My
Analysis of this latest development from China
These articles on Chinese
proposals for the use of the fiat, paper SDRs as a new global reserve currency
would please the plutocratic international bankers. This move would allow them a golden opportunity
to print fiat paper money in huge quantities to flood the world. We can be sure that the fat cats would love
to have a new paper world currency in their greedy little hands. Since they already control the IMF and most
world central banks, such a new global currency would definitely fit into their
plans for world rule.
For sure, this adventure would put
the Western plutocrats into even more of a world ruling posture. It’s hard for me to fathom that the Chinese
would willingly give up any hope of having financial independence from the
international bankers in the Christian West.
It looks like lessons from history would sink in on the Chinese of how
the fat cat money masters in Europe exercised hegemony over China for ages
before the Communist came to power in the late1940s and took over control of
China. The push for Western control was
the story behind the British seizure of Hong Kong and the British-Chinese Opium
wars in the 1830s.
As late as 1900, plutocrats from
Europe were still trying to control China.
This conflict set the stage for a story and even a Charlton Heston movie
on “55 Days at Peking.” If China is
floating a resurrection of SDRs, it certainly plays into the hands of the
plutocratic masters running the financial markets. It’s hard to imagine why the Chinese would
even entertain this idea. The fact that she is floating it would suggest that
some back room deal has been made by the plutocrats and the Chinese Communist
leadership.
As a minimum, any carry forward of
this scheme would mean a serious dent in the future role of gold and a boost up
for world government and a new world paper currency. If this plan reaches fruition, we may see a
fantastic collapse in the price of gold and other precious metals.
