A new Goldman Sachs prediction that oil prices could rise to $150 to $200 within two years seemed to motivate much of Tuesday's buying, although a falling dollar and increasing concerns about declining crude production in Mexico and Russia contributed, analysts say.

The article provides evidence of the Rothschild-lead NWO pulling the plug on the US Dollar. They've used the US dollar as a tool until it is about to break, and they're ready to move back to Europe, as their tool of choice, though not before America sets WWIII in the Middle East. Then they will abandon America to the ensuing chaos and even perhaps war with China and/or Russia. The US Dollar’s collapse has been delayed due to the increase in crude oil prices from $9/barrel in 1998 to near $80/barrel in 2006. But if the oil trade switches to the EURO as the standard instead of the US DOLLAR, the US$ collapse will be that much worse. Of course, the worldwide depression will enable trillionaire Rothschild, Rockefeller and Co. dynasties to buy up more assets at pennies on the dollar. History repeats itself.

Buffett's dire warnings likely represent the sentiments of the Rothschilds and others in European financier dynasties dominating the New World Order overclass; those who hope to use a worldwide depression to seize assets, depopulate the planet of "useless eaters," and create a unipolar biometric police state."

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is a Belgian-based industry-owned co-operative that supplies a messaging infrastructure to the global banking community. This 'community' consists of banks, brokers and dealers, investment managers and their market infrastructures in payments, securities, treasury and trade. SWIFT provides messaging services and interface software to more than 7,863 financial institutions in 204 countries and territories. For instance, 107 U.S. banks are memebrs of SWIFT, as are 99 Swiss Banks, 101 Russian banks, 86 UK Banks, 123 Japanese Banks, 37 Chinese Banks, 123 Italian Banks, and 104 German Banks. According to its 2005 report, traffic on this network has reached 2.6bn messages, or 10 million messages a day on average. The largest sources of trafffic on the SWIFTNet FIN are the UK, the U.S., Germany, Belgium, France and Italy; though the fastest growth markets for 2005 were the Middle East and Africa. The majority of the messaging is about payments, followed by securities, treasury and trade messaging.

Though based in La Hulpe, Belgium, just outside of Brussels, the SWIFT Group has subsidiaries in Australia, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Sweden, Singapore, South Africa, and the United States. The Chairman of SWIFT is Jaap Kamp, while the CEO is Leonard Schrank. Unfortunately the story broke one week after SWIFT's Annual General Meeting on June 14, 2006.

SWIFT's activities is overseen primarily by the National Bank of Belgium, though other central banks are said to "have a legitimate interest in, or responsibility for, the oversight of SWIFT, given SWIFT's role in their domestic systems." Therefore it has international oversight in co-operation with G-10 central banks, i.e. the Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bundesbank, European Central Bank, Banque de France, Banca d’Italia, Bank of Japan, De Nederlandsche Bank, Sveriges Riksbank, Swiss National Bank, Bank of England and the Federal Reserve System (USA), represented by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. For the most part, however, this oversight is limited to security, operational reliability, business continuity, and resilience of the infrastructure
