Dollar predicted to crash in 2012 too?

As the first public article for me just before 2010, it seems appropriate for me to comment on one of the biggest stories we will be all facing – that is an end game of events leading to the end of the USD. The implications for the world are no less than Armageddon – like. I mean it.

It’s not 5 years out anymore in my calculations, we have roughly two more years left.
Wait, that coincides with 2012!  full article
