7. China dual currency system, Islamic dinar

re : "Apart from the difference of mentality, China has a dual currency system and can develop freely - without dependency on the 'Elites' monetary system."

Could someone please elucidate the mechanics of dual currency systems, and explain what forces other than US intimidation prevent it from being adopted elsewhere?

By the way, my Muslim friends have placed on line streaming video files of the conference they recently held in Cape Town. Although the sound is poor, the material presented by Shaykh Abdalqadir and Omar Vadillo, regarding the delusory nature of terrorism and the lure of the Islamic Dinar, respectively, is of great interest. The latter as Vadillo explains it would be a dual currency system within which the domestic currency of more and more of the Muslim world would be authentic gold and silver - until such time as the global fiat currency crashes.

http://passionofthecorporation.blogspot.com/ only one big post there by http://alphonsevanworden.blogspot.com/ loooooong article; quite ramble too, from Mel Gibson and feminism past Hollycaust and tortutainment ending up smack in the middle of the Middle east, far from middling, looks like he has all of 33 spam comments to show for it though; I am turning my word verificator on for all my blogs found via the hyperstition customer Patrick Mullins who goes here too: http://jdeanicite.typepad.com/ too; and alledgedly said:
"but I'm a Lesbian People of Colour. Doesn't that get me past the Marxist requirement?" and "how DARE you assume what I've gazed at!" but google isn't bothering with it (as yet), Mullins can be funny on a good day but he sounds much like an autist who relates digitally only (I know cause .. . ) http://pasaudela.blogspot.com seems to be his adversary, http://lecolonelchabert.blogspot.com his favorite and Nick calls money 'lowest common denominator. In short, the hyperstition crowd leaves me exasperated as usual. I should quit visiting. I'd rather get deadly forms of depression from sites like these: http://fnulnu.org/swaneagle/ (new LBO postress/single mountain mama, somebody with a conscience that works though the first two bites I took out of her linklist leave me pulling up my eyebrows)

peacenow at theofficenet.com (which is her) ---- I go: so. .. you think/imply the left is (by implied contrast) not in any way creepily bigoted?????

You should read on of those creeps like Peter Myers a little closer if you even have at all. I don't like any flavour of supremacism myself and so .. . in solidarity, Piet

http://lair.xent.com/pipermail/fork/ The Bitch reads this .. . and this: theslack.com/ and this: http://stumptuous.com/ I never thought it possible but this person proves weight lifting and gardening come and go together to and fro one person but sure enoug it confirms my belief that to like the former one must be myopic and have an unexaminable and inexposable affinity with claustrophobia and suffocating tolerance for stuffy detail, introspection put out as narcissism, etcetera. There is plenty of panoramic relief too though so I am not complaining: stumptuous.com/gallery/.. (Vancouver) and gammafodder.com/.. (ireland) and here: Ireland2005?&page=3 .. .. another round tower (picture 34) .. . .say, . . . ain't that the place for me. . .us. .. .care(takers) to be us? Any takers? .. . . I posted a comment: have you read any Philip Callahan? Round towers as paramagnetic energy harvester/focuser/grounder.

this one looks cheap enough to go live in and enhance this effect by sprinkling fresh dust from lava or basalt (also have these weak force catalyst properties and 'on top' *heh* of that their exposure to mineral metabolization (by soil organisms besides irish air) makes the combination an unbeatable growth stimulus. Callahan goes so far as to assert the towers were meant for that in the first place, combining active and passive defense I guess.

Paris:
aggression directed to vehicles are a reaction to displacement, the means of motoring being a conspicuous symptom/sign thereof.

Quoting from Shamir's 'Pardes': "Die Deutschen gingen in ihrer Zurueckweisung der Juden zu weit und sie wiesen auch das apostolische Christentum zurueck."

So, I don't know what his lawyers told the french court but I can't find incitations to violence in his work.
