Could they be ready to destroy the dollar?
Some info...
TWO DAYS AFTER IRAN OPENS IT OIL BOURSE EXCHANGE THE ARABS DROP THE WTI CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!!
IRAN'S BOURSE EXCHANGE
WTI Contract
Hrmmmm
Or we could be looking at something more sinister?
This could be considered a brilliant move perhaps...or an incredibly stupid one. In short, Iran will announce that it is withdrawing from the NPT (THE TREATY ON THE NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS)

They may announce that they are giving a deadline to withdrawal in lieu of Israel signing into the treaty, but this amounts to the same thing as withdrawal because Israel will not sign into the NPT, for the same reasons India and Pakistan won't, but those reasons are for other posts.
The more I thought about this the more I became convinced that it would be stone brilliant for Iran to do this right now. They can blame Israel in several ways, they can say that they need to protect themselves. They can also say that since Israel is not a signatory that they are being forced to comply with a double standard, in short, they can blame Israel and the west for being biased toward them.
Mohamed El Baradei who was friendly toward Iran is no longer the Director of the IAEA. A deadline of Dec 31st 2009 set by President Obama to respond to the UN offer to trade uranium for Highly enriched nuclear fuel rods to Russia or France has come and gone ignored by Iran. There was a meeting of the P5+1 countries to discuss further sanctions against Iran on Jan 17th 2010.

Iran gave the west a similar deadline which expired Feb 1st, to give it's low enriched uranium to a third country to enrich to the 20% for it's research reactor.

On Feb 8th...Iran gives formal notice to the IAEA that they intend to enrich Uranium to the 20% level...

20% is the low limit for "Highly Enriched Uranium" and although at that level a crude atomic device could be fabricated, it's not too easy and not nearly as easy as doing it with higher levels of enrichment. The time required to enrich it further to "Weapons grade" is approximately 6 months and Iran does have the ability to do this with the centrifuge arrays that they currently operate once a sufficient quantity of the base 20% HEU is made.
The higher grade HEU is fuel for a heavy water reactor. A heavy water reactor is the type which produces plutonium readily, which of course is the basis for a thermonuclear bomb...the big boy bomb...Of course they can also be used to create medical isotopes, but I can make a jelly sandwich with a 14 inch drop point knife with a SST Pomel the size of a hardball too....

So that is some timeline and atomic wrangling leading up to the announcement, so you have a little background, and yes it IS farking complicated so don't feel bad if it's overwhelming,.... but what is more interesting.......is what an announcement like this would mean to the world at this time....
It would mean more or less that we the west got played...and played well. You will not hear me ever say that Iran is stupid, wrong, perhaps possessing evil intent, but not stupid by any measure. An announcement of withdrawal would indeed be a "Punch" to the entire western world for many many reasons....
Obama has the US military forces out of position...and what would we do? Attack? We would not so what would the results be for America? We would appear as failures in the theater of diplomacy. The OMG! Iran is going off! Obama fails! vs the ZZzzzzzz...who cares, not our problem and no big deal......those fights alone would be many months of political spear throwing. The Israel-US alliance would likely come into the spotlight with the Team, "Well why isn't Israel held to the same standard then?" vs "the Iran is part of the axis of evil, we must stop them even if it takes military action to do it!" team will fight tooth and nail. ALL nuclear nations which have not signed the NPT will be called into question and many decades old alliances and fragile balances could and likely would be called into question in varying degrees. It will become a political football of epic proportions and will affect the stock markets, the price of oil and send ripples of instability across the globe. It could be have greater impact than the US invasion of Iraq as far as the global market is concerned.
It would have the effect of putting even MORE pressure on Israel and if Hezbollah and Hamas will create more turmoil by the ever increasing strength of Hezbollah becoming more and more of a threat and Hamas creating more and more conflict in GAZA?...well...Israel will be pushed closer and closer to a position where they MUST act to preserve their very existence, more or less cornered...and if anyone thinks a cornered Israel is good for earth and will not act to save themselves?....they are a fool...
Iran will move forward in it's pursuit of nuclear weapons and blame Israel for talking aggressively toward them. Forget the Iran aggressive talk.They will blame the west for treating them with unfair bias and using the IAEA to stop their "peaceful" pursuit of nuclear technology when what they were pursuing all along is just what we said they were...nuclear weapons.
They have created the reasons to withdraw and the scapegoats to pull it off. They make themselves out to be the victims and deal a shitstorm of political Chinese firedrill to the entire west! All while making a case to justify their reasoning for becoming a thermonuclear weapons state! In all honesty it is farking beautiful! If I was advising them I'D ACTUALLY ADVISE THEM TO DO THIS !!!!
There are MANY reasons that this may very likely be the "Punch" announcement, and they ALL work to Iran's benefit and everyone else's detriment and it all begins to come together and makes more and more sense if you look at the big and long term picture....and in that picture?...we are a bunch of dogs playing poker.
If I am correct and this IS the announcement?....well....strap in...because this will be a big step forward...and IMO....one of the biggest sign posts on the road to Armageddon that we have passed in a good long time.

There is ONE more possible scenario that I was thinking about too. What if the big announcement is that Iran is purchasing the $47 Trillion of secured debts from China along with all of its stock interests.
Apparently China wants rid of their US$ interests and maybe Armadinadoodoodad would like to move into the East Coast when the Treasury and Fed fail to honor the debt? Worth a thought even if it's just a silly one.
