Canadian Billionaire Predicts The End Of The Dollar As Reserve Currency; Warns "It's Likely To Get Ugly"
Beginning
with how Kissinger and Nixon enabled the USD as the world's de facto
reserve currency through oil, Canadian Billionaire Ned Goodman explains
in the brief but far-reaching clip how it is both inevitable (and
rapidly approaching) that the rest of the world will turn its back on
the dollar. With China and Russia (among many others that we have
detailed in the past) agreeing on non-USD swap terms for energy, the
cracks are starting to show and as Goodman details, "in the 1930s, everyone wanted USD (backed by silver)," but today, backed by nothing, "everyone wants to get rid of them." Buying hard assets is crucial (he has never been more bullish of gold)
as we head into a period of stagflation or even high inflation; and as
Goodman previously commented "the world is totally upside down right now
- it's completely crazy," in fact, he adds, "I'm keen on anything
that's going to live with higher inflationary numbers, because I can't see the world getting out of the problems that it's in." >TRUTH~ALLIANCE< 9/17/13Russia and China to explore the Moon and Mars together
It may seem that we know a lot more
about the Moon than we do about any other celestial body. However, our
natural satellite still hides many mysteries.
There was time on Earth, when there was no Moon in the sky
In the V century BC, Greek philosopher
and astronomer Anaxagoras of Clazomenae wrote that according to his
sources, the Moon appeared after the Earth was born. In the III century
BC, Apollonius of Rhodes, in his "Argonautica," referred to the famous
Aristotle, who, in turn, a century earlier, had described inhabitants of
the mountainous regions of Arcadia, a region on the Peloponnesian
Peninsula. Those people ate acorns and lived at the time, when there was
no Moon in the sky. Writer and historian Plutarch told of the ruler of
Arcadia, whose name was Proselenos, which means "pre-lunar."
Modern scholars do not deny the
possibility that in the early days of human existence, the Moon was
absent in the sky above our planet. One of the theories says that the
Moon was originally a planet of the solar system, which, as a result of a
space cataclysm, descended from orbit and became a satellite of the
Earth. Over time, the Moon formed the system of ebbs and flows, and
cycles of our life became dependent on the Moon.
The moon is not as it seems
Perhaps, you have noticed that on the horizon, the lunar disk appears larger. In ancient times, Aristotle tried to solve this mystery. It was thought that such an optical effect was associated with the Earth's atmosphere. As a matter of fact, the atmospheric refraction (the bending of light rays in the atmosphere) makes the Moon optically smaller than its actual size.
The effect is based on the optical illusion (Ponzo illusion) that appears only because of peculiarities of our brain, some researchers believe. When the moon is hanging on the horizon, our brain compares it with other objects on the foreground, such as houses or trees, and mistakenly identifies it as a more distant object. The farther an object, the bigger it should be. If the Moon is hanging above the horizon, then we have nothing to compare it with, and the Moon appears smaller.

In addition, the Moon is not round, as
we usually believe, but of an egg-shaped form. Yet, as long as only one
side of the Moon faces the Earth, we can not see its true form.
Americans were going to conduct a nuclear explosion on the Moon
This shocking information was provided by Newsweek Magazine on the basis of declassified archival materials of the White House. According to the documents, in the 1950s of the last century, when the Cold War was in full swing, the United States government was harboring plans to build military bases and nuclear reactors on the Earth's satellite. Moreover, America was going to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon.

The explosion was supposed to trigger a
"moonquake" - vibrations of the lunar surface. For the lunar project,
six billion dollars were assigned. It was planned to deliver a nuclear
warhead to the Moon. A lunar base was supposed to be constructed by
1966. All the necessary components for the base could be delivered to
the Moon on board Saturn rockets.
The publication also wrote that during
the 1960s, the Americans managed to come into possession of Soviet
interplanetary station "Luna". They bribed a truck driver, who was
transporting the station from one city to another, and took photographs
of the equipment. The spacecraft was then delivered safely to its
destination, and the Russians had not known anything up until today, the
magazine wrote.
