As he moves forward and slightly to the side, the line doesn't move, so it doesn't look like it's from a static light source.

If they wait too long to do it everyone's just going to cheer.

If she's done nothing wrong then she's got nothing to worry about, right?

At the top of the image it says 'Future Headlines' - but I do recall someone recently introduced a bill to abolish the Fed.

You just gave me an idea for a meme.

Cartoon frame 1: Dalek with an injection needle instead of a sink plunger saying 'vaccinate'.

frame2: second dalek says to dalek 1- 'It's exterminate'

frame 3:first dalek says 'that's what I said, 'vaccinate'

frame 4: both daleks with needles now, both saying vaccinate.

I think he was referring to the election rather than the site

It is kind of compelling, isn't it :)

Still, we've been down this road before and I've learned to treat any and all predictions with a lot of scrutiny these days, but it has to happen some time, right?

I picked up on that too, although there has been talk of Saudi obtaining weapons from both Russia and China, but no-one mentioned anything about personel, because sure as shit the Saudi's are pretty useless on their own - or at least they were 30 years ago when I was last there.

It was to all the most recent articles about 'oil' so people could see for themselves - otherwise it's pretty hard to prove a negative.

I've been seeing this 'news' crop up in a few places so I decided to do some digging.

First off, the original agreements were along the lines of a working model, not an official agreement with a specified end date.

I've also been trawling the financial news in numerous places and found nothing to corroborate the claims being made about Saudi not 'renewing' this agreement.

That isn't to say something isn't in the offing, it could well be. There's plenty of news about Saudi moving away from the dollar and accepting other currencies, but nothing like this kind of 'announcement'.

Diligence required.

It's been posted in a few places, but I've found no official sources, so I'm inclined to agree with you.

It depends on how big the house of cards is that has been built on the petro-dollar.

Pretty sure it's big.

Also, just found this on ft.com (although there is no mention of the end of the agreement on there that I can find right now):-

In June, from June the 6th to June the 9th, there will be simultaneous elections in 27 countries to elect members of the European parliament.

Interesting timing.

More info: I cannot find any information, anywhere, that specifies an actual agreement with a 50 year time limit - so I'm not sure where this 50 year renewal concept has come from.

I don't often remember my dreams these days, but that's another story ;)
