Iran is a opec member and if this allowed how soon will other countries begin to follow suite.Once they have all agreed to do bi-lateral trade in each countries money.Then the SHTF scenario will become a reality.
From my understanding its still a work in progress but it seems alot of other countries are making it known the are trying to get away from the current fiat currency.Then being that India is a major player in BRIC then when will China and others do the same .
I think we should keep an eye on this situation.And is this a credible newspaper or a rag?????

The official said the Reserve Bank of India, which, in December last year, discontinued a long-standing mechanism of payment through central banks, previously opposed payments for Iranian oil in rupee but has now relented. In February, India started making euro payments through an Iranian bank based in Germany. But that had to be stopped soon after Germany came under pressure from the United States to put an end to this practice.

I find it interesting that the US stopped India using the Euro also, putting pressure on teh Germans, wont be so easy for them to force India to jump in line.
I can only see a need to accelerate their plans to take Iran it makes a lot of sense to me now what is happening in other threads..
Such as reports of Israel building up its air-force in Iraq, see here

Could it be that is why OBL death has just been announced, not to cover the news of this but as a stage to attack Iran? OBL Killed, nuclear reprisal, nuclear material traced to Iran, all because Iran has broken teh $ in oil trade through OPEC countries?
Doesn't really seem to far a stretch of the imagination, deeply worrying

You should take note that all of the countries being targeted have one thing in common - they have NO central bank such as our Federal Reserve.
Iraq was the first to go and now the rest are being systematically brought into the Borg under the guise of "democracy" and "freedom" and I'm sure "for the children" too.
The US dollar is already dead. While it still has any semblance of value, the demons running the chessboard plan to do what they can to solidify the hegemony they have become accustomed to regardless of the cost in human lives.
WW3 is around the corner. It may be a year but I think it will be sooner. The District of Criminals has spread itself as thinly as possible whilst attempting to maintain some semblance of control. They are traitors and they care NOTHING about the Republic. They only care about packing their own parachutes and finding a soft place to land once things get really ugly.

There is also this to consider as well, the recent wikileaks release of claims by al queda of a "nuclear hellstorm" if OBL was killed or captured (very strange coincidental timing of that wikileaks release)
I was thinking about this, if not a strike on America and it is a strike on Europe my feeling is it would be Rome, major European capital and also the Vatican, can you imagine the reaction if the Vatican was hit? Also Italy has joined in the bombing of Libya, Gaddafi has even declared war on Italy
Add to that I remember seeing a carving done by some native American Indians (not sure if it was hopi or not) and it depicted the 3 wars of man, the first was a iron cross, the second was a swastika and the third was shaped like a bishops mitre, these were found back in the 1800's I will need to find it again so I can post a link about it
I do find this all very ominous

this i true in a sense.
HOWEVER
we currently owe China a lot of money. If china helps this process of moving away from the dollar, they will weaken the value of the dollar EVEN more. This in turn, will make their investments in us less profitable due to an ever weakening value of the dollar. As of right now, washington has China since what we owe them is now worth less than what they gave us!
