The Day of the Dollar (Roel van Broekhoven, Backlight 2005)



Uploaded by: VPROinternational
Video Description:
Do we live on a bubble? Is it possible for the heavily indebted American economy to collapse and take all of us down in a free fall with it? Have the days of the dollar been counted? Is it really unimaginable that we will see the time of the Great Depression repeating itself?
VPRO Backlight and Dutch national newspaper NRC Handelsblad present this 'what if' scenario. What if the dollar collapses? Fiction meets facts in this 24 hour scenario. At 9AM a Singapore trader is ordered to sell a large amount of dollars, which sends off the enormous downfall of the dollar. This film shows the results for the world economy every following hour. It ends in Amsterdam, where the only currency accepted by a taxi driver is sigarettes...
History seems to have caught up with this 2005 film, though in slow-motion...
Includes interview with analist Stephen Roach, Andy Xie, Maarten Schinkel, Cees Maas, Rob de Wijk and Kees Vendrik.

Part of the problem ... ( 2 months ago by 2826163)
Part of the problem is the massive trade imbalance. I think the U.S. should begin trading the one thing we have that the rest of the world seems to want: Our niggers!
Heck, everyone says how great they are, why don't you try taking a few million for your own.
If you particular shit-hole country can't afford these fine niggers... we'll give 'em to you!

I hate the double standard use of the word nigger! It's an offensive word if a white guy uses it, and it's a brotherly love term if a black guy uses it. Totally lame. Get a grip on the language, people! Let's just drop it all together and be cool to each other. Peace.
Very entertaining ... ( 1 month ago by Capnwabbit)
Very entertaining but they left out the most significant aspect - that the reason WHY the dollar could be rejected as worthless comes down to the government, via the fed, printing the things (digitally). The crap from the guy saying "We knew and this is the result of lack of regulations" made me want to scream... Regulations, including the monopoly of the dollar itself, are what caused this, along with the federal reserve.

chiladin: do you ... ( 8 hours ago by holidayhouse03)
chiladin: do you want the niggers that were raised by white folk...or just the common niggers to stand up. Just how many niggers can say that they were raised by white folk in Indonesia, Hawaii and Kansas? And why is it that it takes a nigger born to a nigger from africa and a white woman to be the first nigger president? Can't any homegrown niggers work their way into that position? Are they just too busy dodging gunshots in the ghetto from their "brothers"? Too busy killing people at WalMart?
And for the record ... ( 8 hours ago by chiladin)
And for the record the "homegrown" niggers make up onl 13% of the US population but yet have purchasing power of over $700 billion dollars which would make us the 13th wealthiest nation if we were our own country.Not bad for people that were enslaved by the "good GOD-fearing white Christians huh? That's right boys were going to kill innocent human being by strapping a noose around their heads and burning a cross on their lawn while we hide our face behind sheets that have a red cross on em.lol.
And I bet their ... ( 6 hours ago by holidayhouse03)
And I bet their purchasing power at the prison commissary puts them at close to #1.
If you only want to lay the blame at the feet of bush & co....you're truly blind. You and I and everyone else in this country has been enslaved since 1913 to the federal reserve.
You do understand that comrade obama does not have the power to "fix" this mess. Remember what FDR said "nothing in politics happens by accident...if it happened you can bet it was planned". This "crisis" was in the planning long ago.
