There are only 3 independent banks

Submitted by Nate on Thu, 12/01/2011 - 04:58.

Cuba, North Korea, and... IRAN.

Libya was one of them before last year, as was Sudan. Both went down in 2011.

The rest are tied to the "Rothschild" banking cartel.

After they have taken the last 3, I would imagnie then they can implement their global currency and full blown New World Order.

The history of the Iranian central bank is very interesting...

I wrote and published an article about U.S.-Iranian relations about a week ago and it talks a little about this in the opening paragraph. It might shock you who set up Iran's national financial institutions and who they became independent from...

Concerning central banks (for the following comment)...yes they are all evil, but they don't all rule equally...some are much worse than others.

Good article!

I like your writing style. It has great continuity, and you are very coherent, to the point, and very informative.

I have a question: Hasn't Iran been selling their oil for Euros and other currencies instead of the U.S. dollar? Also, why has Israel had such a "hard-on" for Iran for so long a time? I read an interview with Sharon (who was born in Iran) that was back in the early 1980's, and he said that one day Israel would nuke Iran.

Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback...

...I'm thinking about posting a new article every two weeks or so. I started posting articles originally for my family in my efforts to get them into thinking issues through a bit more coherently (and with a touch of my libertarian point of view).

To your first question: The Iranian central bank is fairly opaque and it is difficult to know exactly what currencies it holds as reserves and in what amounts. They claim to be holding (according to Wikipedia): "In 2007, 10% of the Reserves were held in Gold, 20% in US dollars (down from 40% in 2006), the rest mostly in Euro and other major currencies (i.e., Yen, British Pound and the Swiss Franc). In 2009, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered the replacement of the US dollar by the euro in the country's foreign exchange accounts because "it would help decouple Iran from the US banking system. In October 2010, Iran's Gold reserves hit "record high" as the Central Bank took "preventive measures" to avoid a possible asset freeze by Western countries. In 2009, when the gold price was on average $656 per once, a "few hundred tons" of gold were imported, IRNA quoted CBI Governor Mahmoud Bahmani. "At present, the price of each ounce of gold is $1,230. Consequently, the value of the national reserves has risen by a few billion dollars" he said. Iran has changed 15% of its foreign exchange reserves into gold as the number is 1.7% for countries such as India and China (see also: U.S. sanctions against Iran.)"

To your second question, you may be surprised to know that Israel and Iran were close allies until 1979! The Wikipedia article linked below states the answer to your question very well. Israel was seen as a puppet of the U.S. and the U.K. and an enemy of the Palestinians. The issue isn't about religion or fanaticism, but rather about control of land, water, and resources in the Middle East and their fear of colonialism. Religion, as usual, is utilized as the moral backing of what are essentially economic conflicts.

Central Banks Are Still Central Banks

Submitted by pointtech86 on Thu, 12/01/2011 - 05:21.

Two of the countries you mentioned are Communist, and one is a theocratic dictatorship. Central Banks are evil no matter what form they come in, and no country will ever be financially free until they abolish their own central bank and destroy the monopoly.

Besides North Korea and Cuba would be the easiest countries to take over and install a "Rothschild" Bank, yet no one takes North Korea or Cuba seriously when they saber rattle. Iran is targeted because of their resources, not their bank.
