The Dollar rallies of 2022 are subsiding and the foundations of Petro-Dollar supremacy are cracking, but January 2023 shows signs that the Dollar's final demise may be as imminent as it is inevitable--it's losing ground against the Peso Nuevo of our hardworking southern neighbor.

Two years into Bidenomics, the US Dollar has been in a paradoxical dreamland. Every American winced at the gas pump and grocery register, but home markets were insanely bullish and the Dollar skyrocketed internationally against foreign currencies.  Two factors have sustained the illusion of strength even as workers know their Dollar buys less and less:  1. The Federal Reserve has feverishly thrown every lever to temporarily buoy the Dollar (including vast QE and government "borrowing", which is really money-printing) and 2. Enormous offshore Dollar holdings are being exchanged for hard assets within the USA.  The holders know those Dollars will be worthless soon, and are desperate to buy precious metals, stocks, commodities, or real estate, whatever the price.

Under Trump, the Dollar gained real strength, fueled by lower taxation and industrial infrastructure returning to the USA.  In March, 2020, this author reported that the Peso was in real trouble and the exchange rate was 24 per Dollar.  Mexican President AMLO had come to power from Leftist roots and was locked in a bitter feud with Trump.  AMLO eventually proved to be a strong nationalist and US security partner, but he initially faced resistance domestically from entrenched swamp creatures and opposition politicians.  The Peso was weak from decades of graft, and there was real concern of runaway inflation.  It had already begun in Argentina. (In late 2017, the Argentine Peso enjoyed parity with the Mexican Peso, each trading 17 to the US Dollar. Five years later, the Argentine Peso has lost more than 9/10 of its value and trades at 195 per Dollar on the unregulated black market.)   AMLO had to navigate treacherous waters to prevent runaway inflation when his government was new and weak and the swamp there was at full strength.  Had the Mexican Peso collapsed, AMLO's entire government may have collapsed with it.  (Such a collapse can be a good thing if a government is overgrown and topheavy, but it would have been very bad for Mexico and the USA at the time.)   Somehow, behind the scenes, the crisis was averted and the Peso stabilized.  I suspect that Trump ordered US action to brake the inflating Peso, knowing the collapse of the Mexican government would be a border security nightmare.  This, along with Covid response cooperation, set the stage for friendship between AMLO and Trump.  In the three years since, the Peso has been constant at 21 per dollar, only vacillating normally and never more than two Pesos either way in a swing.  This stability has continued even eleven months into Russia's incursion into the Ukraine and the resulting storms of sanctions.  The Russians were locked out of Dollar-based foreign banking and demanded payment in Rubles only for deliveries of petroleum and natural gas.  This was the first BOOM of the battering ram against the long-reigning Petro-Dollar.  Last week, Saudi Arabia announced openness to settling petroleum transactions in currencies other than the Dollar.  This was a thunderous boom against the Petro-Dollar, one that could prove to be its death knell.  It happened the same time that FXSTREET reported on the Peso's march against the Dollar.  A week later, the Peso has held its value against the Dollar, and FXSTREET opines the adjustment may be permanent, and the Peso's march may continue even further.  For once, the US Dollar may be the victim of runaway inflation.  Nasdaq reported in December that the Peso had begun to advance against the Dollar even as other world currencies were declining against it.  An included forecast predicted (with agreement from Barclays and Wallet Investor) that the Peso would stop around 19 1/2 per dollar.  That would have been within the normal fluctuation of the last three years and have meant nothing.  The report stated that market forces, interest rates, and investor attractiveness were responsible for the march, completely ignoring the eventual collapse of all fiat currencies and the difference between a production economy (like Mexico) and a consumer/management/trading economy (like the USA at present).

Much of the manufacturing infrastructure that used to be in the USA is now in Mexico, making the Mexican economy a major exporter of those items as well as the oil, agricultural commodities and labor it has exported for decades.  Those are indicators of strength that economists sometimes overlook but war planners take very seriously.  Currencies failing or being replaced is often an opening overture to war or revolution, and the Dollar is not immortal.  BRICS is coming to the Americas and now has taken a curious twist--less than a month into Brazil's communist government, talks began to absorb the failed Peso of their socialist neighbor, Argentina!

A Haitian driver was injured when the US embassy convoy came under fire in the Croix-des-Bouquets neighborhood of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.  A State Department spokesman stated that "no embassy personnel were injured."  A concerning omission is that no reference was made to the absence of Chargé d'Affaires Eric Stromayer, and this assault may have been a very close shave for the career American diplomat.  As on occasions where citizens use force in self-defense against police, there is very little news coverage of this attack.  Both have been rare events, but them occurring even once, ever, is an enormous threat to a militarized nation-building machine like the USA or China.

"If it bleeds, we can kill it!" This was the realization of primitive Indians in what is now Mexico, after brutal oppression by the gun-wielding, armored Spanish knight on horseback.  They had never seen a horse before, let alone a horseman.  They thought it was one unified, impregnable thunder-monster from another world...until a random bowshot struck an unshielded spot and blood flowed down the caballero's leg...showing him to be only a man like any other.  He could be unhorsed...wounded...defeated...exterminated.  The secret was out;  the invader's  illusion of immortality was shattered! 

Protests in China achieved critical mass when crowds "beat the hell out of the police" sent to disperse them, according to Hal Turner, who stated that he had video of those skirmishes before his website suffered a crippling attack by hackers.  Reuters quoted a Shanghai protestor,  "The people here aren’t violent, but the police are arresting them for no reason. They tried to grab me but the people all around me grabbed my arms so hard and pulled me back so I could escape."  The article continues, "By Sunday evening, hundreds of people gathered in the area. Some jostled with police trying to disperse them" (emphasis added).  The battering given to initial riot police accelerated emotion and stoked the conflagration which has, in a matter of days, ignited in urban centers across China.

President Trump let the whole world know where the heart of the swamp is when he called the US diplomatic corps the "DEEP State Department."  The failed US experiment of nation-building is perhaps nowhere more apparent than Haiti.  This small nation on the island of Hispaniola was under Clinton Foundation influence even before the devastating 2010 earthquake.  After the quake, billions of dollars from around the world began to flood in.  The dollars would continue to flow as long as the crisis continued, and continue it would for that very reason.  Today there is an entire generation of Haitians that grew up in refugee camps, then was herded from nation to nation as communist revolutionaries.  After the overthrow of multiple nations, the Texas/Mexico border is now the focal point of this refugee crisis.  Two changes have happened in the year since the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and surged in the last 2-3 months.  First, there is a real movement of armed revolt against globalist forces, spearheaded by legitimate police and political leaders (who are now sanctioned by the UN and US government, maligned, and labelled as criminals).  Second, Mexico has proposed an armed intervention in Haiti to address the migration wave at its source.  Mexico is likely the unnamed "partner country" that would make the intervention.  It would require an act of congress for Mexican troops to leave their native soil, but Mexico has already been stepping into the power vacuum left in the wake of the "US decline," according to president AMLO (really, the Biden administration redirected US aid to non-productive NGOs contributing to regional instability in a reversal of Trump policy).  Military force outside of the nation's borders would mark a stunning increase in Mexico's regional influence, which has been up to this point focused on aid, development, and free trade with proximate nations. 

Violence aside, protests continue in Haiti and a recurring theme is "No Boots On The Ground [Intervention]" and "F the USA."  They have asked for help from Russia and Cuba, and demand the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.  Much news has been made of the month-long blockade of Haiti's fuel terminal by ex-cop Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier and his armed followers.  Lesser known is that this blockade was a protest against Ariel Henry ending fuel subsidies, causing fuel prices to double overnight.  Cherizier was not just any cop, either.  He was an officer in Haiti's security forces very close to President Moïse before his death and rumored to be close to senate leader Joseph Lambert.  Sanctioning and maligning these leaders appears to serve the US interest of prolonging the national crisis.  Lambert was not allowed to enter the USA last month, but Venezuelan despot Nicolas Maduro (who had a US$15 million bounty on his head under Trump's presidency) was greeted with open arms. 

These conflicts on opposite sides of the world are dynamic and complex.  It is not immediately clear who is on which side and alliances may change rapidly.  Mexico, as a center-left democracy, may be the perfect nation to respond to the Haitian people's call to Russia and Cuba...but may have to depose in the process Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the very official who called for the intervention.  One thing is abundantly clear.  In both cases, protestors acted with sudden violence, in a magnitude that overwhelmed local authorities, and gained immediate world attention, sympathies of other movements in diverse places, and terrified the agents of the globe's greatest superpowers.   

"Official sources" also stated that the scuttled submarine was from AFTER 1950 "last half of the 20th century." Mercopress stated that this sub was unrecorded and thus was probably a clandestine escape sub for fleeing Nazis.  At 80 meters length, only type IX and X subs were this big and all of them are accounted for. This sub was therefore of an unknown type, secretly built, and perhaps built after 1950 (although the location was near a recorded but unverified 1945 landing of armed Aryans.)  La Voz (in Spanish) suggests, with supporting diagrams, a type XXI oceangoing submarine and reasserts to the world that Adolf Hitler himself escaped to Argentina as did other infamous Nazi officers that were recorded as dead in Germany until found in Argentina and prosecuted up to 50 years after the fact. 
Since the wreck's discovery a week ago by "Eslabon Perdido" (Lost Clue, a Nazi-hunting foundation), mockery and doubt have been cast from all quarters until Thursday (Oct. 20)
when it was published that Dr. Fabio Guiseppe Bisciotti debunked all conflicting theories that the wreckage was of a fishing boat or other origin, but rather an Unterseeboot "deliberately [destroyed with] explosives after having sunken [been scuttled].  Dr. Bisciotti's credentials are impeccable, being the director of the Center for Subaquatic Studies at the LNI (Naval League of Italy, which is part of the nation's Ministry of Defense).  He has worked for the US Pentagon as an investigator to find sunken items in the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas as well as Great Britain's Royal Navy, for whom he successfully located the wreck of HMS Regent in May of this year.
Memories are invoked of the famed U-234, the largest sub the Kriegsmarine had built at the time, which was surrendered en route to Japan after VE Day.  She carried high-ranking Japanese and German scientists and one general officer along with Uranium for the Japanese atomic bomb project.  Three tons of technical drawings were aboard in addition to physical Wunderwaffen--a complete Me-163 rocket fighter and two Me-262 jet fighters, extra jet engines and armor-piercing shells.  A huge amount of mercury was present, often reported to be a pressure stabilizer for the Uranium Oxide...but also reported to be essential fuel for Luftwaffe anti-gravity propulsion systems.  My own grandfather fought in the German skies against the Me-262 and said it was terrifying.  Were not their production lines shattered, this German technology could have changed the war.  What if U-234 had not surrendered.  Would the Axis powers have been first to create an atomic bomb?  How many unregistered U-boats succeeded in delivering their passengers and secret cargoes to Argentina...or Antarctica?  Such creeping fears have caused great resistance to the assertions of Eslabon Perdido...but now Dr. Bisciotti has spoken...soon he will fly south and dive the wreck himself!

Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK) is facing a 12 Year prison sentence for corruption; a dozen officers were injured when clashes between her supporters and protesters turned violent and had to be dispersed with tear gas from before her Buenos Aires apartment. Supporters of solidarity included Mexican President AMLO, who cryptically stated Thursday that "no one should be prevented from being a candidate because 'they' fabricated some supposed crime."  This statement seems to apply more to Donald Trump than CFK, who may be barred from ever running for office over the supposed crime of retaining classified documents, and conservative Argentine ex-president Mauricio Macri, whose charges were just dismissed over ordering surveillance of the families of deceased ARA San Juan crewmembers.  Trump and Macri were close friends while in office and would destroy globalism in the Americas were they ever to return to their respective presidencies. 

Brazil will likely collapse into civil war this autumn rather than allow a thinly-veiled Leftist takeover by fraudulent elections and election courts.  If the Left were to take power in Brazil, it would be the last domino to fall, leaving South and Central America under communist control from Tierra del Fuego to the Guatemalan border, except for little Uruguay and embattled Ecuador.  Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro decided at the last minute to debate his challengers yesterday, and called ex-president Lula da Silva a liar and a thief in several fiery exchanges.  "Convict" was among the deprecations shouted, a label that Lula da Silva denied even though he WAS convicted and imprisoned for graft in the "Carwash" scandal, and only recently released by activist judges.  Bolsonaro's charges of electoral corruption are not new, they were the talk of the nation in 2010 when Lula da Silva's successor was supposedly elected in a sweeping victory.  The Supreme Electoral Court issued a "diploma" to quell opposition to Dilma Roussef's victory; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Brazil to congratulate her on behalf of the Obama administration.  Roussef was impeached in 2016 for her own involvement in the "Carwash" paving the way for Bolsonaro's upset victory and a major pendulum swing to the right.  Brazil had become very cozy with China during the Lula da Silva and Roussef years, establishing the BRICS financial alliance and teaching the Chinese the art of aircraft carrier flight operations.  The Chinese invested heavily in Brazil's hydropower and became a key buyer of beef and pork.  Soybeans by the shipload from newly-developed Amazon farmland began making their way to China, an arrangement which continues today.  Bolsonaro has tried to reverse decades of Leftist policy in his 4-year term, but has kept hold of the BRICS arrangement.  He visited Vladimir Putin in Moscow in February, only a week before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  He has thus put his own take on the BRICS, which now has a nationalist faction also represented by Putin's Russia and Modi's India.  China represents the authoritarian faction along with South Africa, arguably a satellite state under Chinese control.

Bolsonaro, a Christian baptized in the River Jordan, boldly stated that "only God can remove me from the presidency," but Lula da Silva intends to do exactly that, and restore Brazil to the glory of its former kleptocracy and Chinese amity. He supposedly enjoys a comfortable lead in the polls (which are alleged, along with media bias and Dominion voting machines, to be part of the fraudulent electoral system), but appeared preoccupied with the debate this week and left it to Dilma Roussef to stand up for CFK.  A close friend and kindred soul to Hillary Clinton, CFK was first lady (as wife of Argentine President Nestor Kirchner) then twice president (when she threatened to repeat the 1982 invasion of Britain's Falkland Islands).  She was nearly imprisoned during Macri's administration; 8 million dollars of her assets were seized and a warrant was issued for her arrest.  Only her last line of defense, her immunity as a sitting senator, prevented captivity until Macri was voted out (in a corrupt process involving Venezuelan Dominion machines, according to Sidney Powell).  Today she is the sitting Vice President and rumored to be the true potentate of Argentina.  She spent the first eleven days after her inauguration travelling to Cuba, plotting to return her nation to the Chinese orbit.  As president, she allowed the Chinese to build a $50 million stellar observatory on the Patagonian Plain, from which the PLA can monitor in live time all satellites, spacecraft, and ICBMs in the entire Southern Hemisphere.  Chinese flotillas began to steal fish by the boatload from Argentina's Atlantic waters and import vast quantities of wheat and beef.  Macri opposed this hegemony, his maritime police even sinking an 8,000 ton factory fishing ship in 2016 and bringing the rescued sailors to Buenos Aires for prosecution.  The people of Latin America cheered this act in comment strings, warning the "comeperros" (dog eaters) to stay out of the Americas.  The following year China did the opposite, avenging their loss by sinking the ARA San Juan, a submarine of the Argentine Navy which had reported problems due to a battery fire and was proceeding on the surface on diesel power.  On November 15th, 2017, ARA San Juan exploded and sank with all hands.  The wreck was found a year later and photographs of the "restos" were classified as a government secret, as they contained bodies of the deceased and clues pointing to the perpetrators.  This author was in Argentina in November 2017, and all eyes were glued to round-the-clock coverage of this national tragedy. It was hoped that the 44 crewmembers, including the nation's maiden female submariner, were alive as the search continued.  Trump sent US P-8 Poseidon sub-hunter aircraft to the South Atlantic armed with Harpoon anti-ship missiles.  Ostensible searching for the lost submarine, they were clearly prepared to battle any hostile ships.  Macri's government bowed to this intimidation and reduced pressure on China, failing to dismantle the electoral system or even the space-base in his presidency.  The November 15, 2017 sinking of the ARA San Juan will prove to be the outbreak of open hostility in the current World War.  "Grey war" tactics of migrant infiltration, propaganda, sabotage, and assassination were used before this date and have continued in the five years since...peppered with an occasional suspicious explosion, government collapse, military invasion, spate of airstrikes, or missile barrage.  Many nations have already been lost to communism, some are trying to claw their way back.  The battle is raging in Brazil and Argentina, and Macri tweeted his full support for law enforcement as they attempt to collar his nemesis, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner!
