They are flipping eastward or in the case of China cutting the major cords. The Shanghai developments are by far the most important in the financial setting. The Petro-Dollar is seeing its last months after a 43- year reign as defacto standard. Its retirement will begin in the East, then spread to the decaying loyal Western nations. The entire geopolitical chessboard is becoming more aligned with the Eurasian Trade Zone, one nation after another. Its cornerstones are Russia, China, and increasingly Iran. It has gathered some Eastern European countries like Turkey, and will gather more. It has pursued the Middle East oil monarchies, and will succeed in lassoing them into the zone corral. Whether they deploy financial connections, or trade ties, or security links, these nations no longer see the United States and British (who walk the American dog with a monetary leash) as the leading global players any longer. The leaders are China with its financial and industrial might and Russia with its energy and commodity strength. As the global structure shifts in alignment, many nations will be involved in the shifts directly. It can be perceived as chess pieces in movement. The many bilateral connections are being altered, so as to fit within the new forces. The power center is moving from West to East, although certainly very slowly. Some call it a giant ship changing course, but the Jackass thinks of it more as a very large baby being formed with numerous umbilical cords, which requires a very long gestation period like that for an elephant. The Eastern centers must remove the vestiges of old colonial power links. It is a very slow process, whereby the East must accept losses from the uprooted stanchions. The Eastern leaders measure their risks, make the changes, and consider the losses as part of a reorganization much like done with the better observed structural changes done by IBM or Chrysler. Walls on all continents are seeing more clear graffiti. The writing is on the walls for the King Dollar first relinquishing its dominant position, then soon permitting a peaceful coexistence with the Chinese RMB, and later suffering the ignominy of gradual more complete removal as global currency reserve. Expect next to see a wider recognition of the Dual Universe, with the USD pitted against the RMB but without war. The current challenges are numerous, significant, and undeniable. The following nations are central to the global paradigm shift in progress. Cited are some key events in the shift. They have two themes in common, energy pacts and financial flight from the King Dollar. The more full description with effects, angles, and players is included in the October Hat Trick Letter, now in the production phase.

Mexico has a lot of silver deposits. And gold too. Here is one Mexican mine that produces a lot of silver. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
