Their overt aggression started with the taking of our embassy in Tehran, Iran, incited by the Ayatollah Khomeini and permitted by the weakling Jimmy Carter, bombings and attacks of American Embassies, barracks and the first bombing of the Twin Towers to be followed by the cowardly cut and run in Somalia, under Bill (The Pimp) Clinton.

William Clark has receieved two Project Censored Awards, first in 2003 for his ground-breaking research on the Iraq War, oil currency conflict, and U.S. geostrategy, and again in 2005 for his research on Iran's upcoming euro-denominated oil bourse.Censored 2004: The Top 25 Censored Stories, (Steven Stories Press, 2003).He is an Information Security Analyst at Argosy Omnimedia, and lives in Rockville, Maryland.

Meticulously researched by Clark, a Project Censored Award Winning Author, Petrodollar Warfare examines U.S. dollar hegemony and the unsustainable macroeconomics of 'petrodollar recycling,' pointing out that the issues underlying the Iraq War also apply to geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and other countries including the member states of the European Union (EU), Iran, Venezuela, and Russia.

The author warns that without changing course, the American Experiment will end the way all empires end - with military over-extension and subsequent economic decline.He recommends the multilateral pursuit of both energy and monetary reforms within a United Nations framework to create a more balanced global energy and monetary system - thereby reducing the possibility of future oil depletion and oil currency-related warfare.

A sober call for an end to aggressive U.S. unilateralism, Petrodollar Warfare is a unique contribution to the debate about the future global political economy.

Advanced Praise for Petrodollar WarfareWhile the economic advantages accruing to American elites from US dollar hegemony have been mostly hidden from view, the impending end of dollar supremacy will affect everyone in obvious, painful ways.In this riveting macro-economic investigation, William Clark guides us through the hidden history of the petrodollar era and deftly uncovers the basis of current US strategy in the Middle East.If you think you understand the headlines, think again: current events can only be understood when we follow the money.

This sobering book not only elucidates our past and present, but shows the way toward global monetary reform.As Clark makes clear, America's founding ideals can only be fulfilled if the people of the US are willing to confront the twin demons of proto-fascism and kleptocracy.
...
Petrodollar Warfare is therefore to be greatly welcomed, since William Clark's book provides a badly needed, carefully researched explanation of the deep and dark mechanisms underlying international movements of money and military forces.Clark tells the fascinating and distressing story of how America achieved world dominance and looks with tough honesty and realism at what the future might hold.
