Syria switches to euro amid confrontation with US

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syria has switched all of the state's foreign currency transactions to euros from dollars amid a political confrontation with the United States, the head of state-owned Commercial Bank of Syria said on Monday.

"This is a precaution. We are talking about billions of dollars," Duraid Durgham told Reuters.

The bank, which still dominates the Syrian market although private banks have been allowed to set up in the last few years, has also stopped dealing with dollars in the international foreign exchange flows of private clients.

The United States has been at the forefront of international pressure on Syria for its alleged role in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri a year ago. Damascus denies involvement in the killing.

"It looks like a kind of pre-emptive action aimed at making their foreign assets safer, preventing them from getting frozen in case of any conflict," said a Middle East economist who requested anonymity.

Hmm... A sign of things to come, in Iran?

 

In the end, America will be bankrupted. This will be in the not-so-distant future. America needs to be dismantled in order to establish a one world government (Novus Ordo Seclorum). Under a world government, there can be no superpowers, just one global governing body. This governing body is the U.N., operating on the orders of its banking cartel controllers (the same people who control America and are working to bring about its demise).

America is being used to destroy America.

For people like Solve, who openly support the New World Order, this couldn't be better news.

We are going to see human enslavement on a global scale within our lifetimes. Never forget what I am saying. These truly are the final days as we know them. One of these days we're going to wake up and realize that we've all been had and there is nowhere to run or hide.

We don't realize how much we take for granted in this world.

 

Wouldn't that make the president of the UN leader of the entire world?

If so that would make him sole dictator. So much for democracy
