The Automatic Earth

The IMF is running out of money to put thumbscrews on the world's poor. But that won't deter the fund, it can simply start issuing AAA rated bonds, which are rated by the .... IMF, and in real life are simply more casino bathroom paper. And if you don't like that one, they’ll move to the most perverted financial instrument in centuries, the Special Drawing Rights, also called paper gold, introduced in 1969, in anticipation of Nixon’s 1971 decision to not honor US gold liabilities.

Who do you think determines the value of an SDR? Yup, you’re right, it’s the IMF. They can buy the world. That may seem far-fetched, but don't forget that for a few billion dollars in loans that have to be paid back at high interest, they’ve bought themselves financial control of the likes of Hungary, Iceland, the Ukraine and soon Pakistan, Serbia, Croatia, Latvia and Turkey. And their eye is on Russia.
