U.S. Dollar Is F*CKED: Toronto, Switzerland To Become Yuan Currency Trading Hub… China Radio – “The U.S. And Europe Have Always Suppressed The Rising Price Of Gold”

Fairly soon (within next two years?), when yuan swap lines are in place at all major currency trading centers, China will announce that all Government restrictions on the on/offshore ownership of yuan (and Chinese government bonds) are removed.
At that point the US t-bond market will implode, as the yuan takes over from the USD as the world’s reserve currency.
Switzerland Will Join Race to Be Trading Hub for China’s Yuan
Switzerland plans to bid to become an offshore yuan trading center in Europe, competing with Frankfurt and London to corner trade in the Chinese currency.
“It is in Swiss interest to have a renminbi hub in the center of Europe,” Economy Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann said in Beijing yesterday after signing a free trade agreement with Chinese Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng. While no official talks have taken place, Schneider-Ammann said he hopes the idea will become “more serious” in the coming weeks or months.

THE FED IS F*CKED!
Almost no media that I’m aware of, mainstream or otherwise, has reported what I’m about to tell you.  So, listen up.  I’m going to give you spin before it’s spun.
