Stanisław Michalkiewicz: War, Money and Centaurs
On April 2, American president Donald Trump declared a trade war in the name of the United States for the remainder of the world. Not only the conventional enemies of America, but above all – her friends, or vassals. As president Trump said in an occasional speech, these friends were inferior to their enemies. This happens frequently – as the popular proverb says: defend me, Lord God, from friends, due to the fact that I can manage enemies somehow.
So, according to president Trump's announcement, 20% duties were imposed on the European Union and on China, even more than 30%. Commentators say that president Trump thus blew up the world's full economical order that followed the announcement of the end of the “cold war”. It is worth recalling that something like this has already happened once; here on August 15, 1971, president Nixon blew up the world's financial system, formed in 1944 at a conference in Bretton Woods.
Although in 1944 the U.S. no longer traded dollars for gold in retail relations, they retained the dollar's exchangeability in global transactions. Thanks to this, the dollar kept the gold standard and was the basis of the global financial system. another currencies referred to their value to the dollar and so it functioned until the 1960s. In the 1960s, large amounts of US dollars appeared outside the U.S. borders.
These were the alleged “eurodolars” that were able to bring together European countries utilizing the “ Marshall Plan” – and so-called “petrodolary”, which collected oil countries, thanks to the fast improvement of automotive and looting communications after planet War II. These Eurodolars and petrodolaries posed a problem for America, due to the fact that for the sake of maintaining a dollar parity, the US had to occasionally sale gold from its reserves, which caused criticism in America – that the full planet benefits from a unchangeable financial system, but only America has to pay for it.
These critics tactfully did not remember that, out of the fact that the dollar is simply a global currency, the United States is drawing a fat pension. And when, in 1971, France threatened to request the exchange of all its Eurodollars for American gold, president Nixon felt that the fun had gone besides far and announced that the US had deviated from the Bretton Woods agreement. Thus, since August 15, 1971, the planet has departed from the gold standard and the so-called: fiduciary money has appeared in circulation”, that is, 1 that has value due to the fact that people believe it has value.
As a result, the last barrier to the temptation to produce “empty” money by issuing banks, which are further encouraged by governments, has fallen due to the fact that it gives emergence to inflation, the alleged “issue tax”, by which local bureaucratic gangs plunder fellow citizens. The scale of “empty” money production is evident from the fact that erstwhile a financial crisis broke out in the Far East, it besides appeared that the planet was trading in sums of money that were respective times above the value of wealth that exists on Earth.
As a result, it gradually ceased to substance how many people produce coal, steel, oil and so on – and on the front of the economical news there were revelations, like 1 financial grantor screwed the another financial grantor – from which wealth does not come. But I am not certain that president Trump's intention is indeed to blow up the economical order to date. According to his speech, he hopes that countries attacked by American duties will repatriate and lower their tariffs, so that the situation will return to average and that the customs war can end.
However, erstwhile the foundations of the planet are wobbly before our eyes, our beloved leaders gave a performance in the Sejm, which confirms in all lengths that they are strictly forbidden to practice actual politics, and so are sentenced to deal with alleged "farts." So, the Chief of State Jarosław Kaczyński stood next to the Parliamentary mouthpiece, on which the large Venerable Roman Giertych made a bronze and called him “sadist” and “robber”.
Then, erstwhile Deputy Marshal Zgorzelski turned off the microphones at the platform, The politician of the State was besides to call the large Venerable Roman Giertych a “death” and “murderer”. This must have impressed the large Venerable One, for in the evening she must have hugged him in this lamentation of the Restorative “Stowives”, or Mrs. ed. An oilseed that almost took him into a hearty breast. On the part of the Chief of State, the Venerable Roman Giertych informed all of Poland that he had established a survey of his ginecol tree... – means pardon; what “ginecological” is it?
Not any “ginecological”, but of course – family. From there he learned that he was the uncle of the politician of the State Jarosław Kaczyński, so he suggested that he say to him: “Vuju”. The politician of the state neither thought to make amends to this proposal, but thanks to the information about the establishment of a venerable examination of the household tree by the large Venerable Roman Giertych, false rumours immediately appeared in the city that he was a direct descendant of a Roman senator named Incitatus. T
en senator was a horse that Emperor Caligula introduced to the legislature and even added to the company of Penelope's mare, with whom Senator Incitatus kept his offspring. Of course, in these false rumours that the large Venerable came in a consecutive line from Incitatus and Penelope, there is not a word of truth, otherwise the large Venerable Roman Giertych would should be a centaur, and according to experts the existence of centaurs has not been scientifically confirmed. True, we had witnesses who saw a surviving centaur.
This was in Stalinist times, erstwhile the exhibition of Pablo Picasso's paintings was arranged at the Rabbit Shop. Picasso was a associate of the Communist Party, so his paintings were considered insanely progressive, but with activists formed by socialism, they sparked vomiting reflexes. 1 specified activist, already a remnant of forces holding back these reflexes, yet ended up in the last hall, where Picasso's realistic image, depicting the centaur, was exhibited. – “But he is simply a large artist – he shouted with relief – Centaur, how alive!”
Apparently he saw a surviving centaur somewhere – but that's not what people saw at the time. Another thing is that erstwhile you look so closely at the large Venerable, any associations impose – but not a word more – due to the fact that 1 trial is adequate for me.
