One has to wonder if oil trading games and speculative greed are the real cause for the escalating prices or the policies of the Fed which have led to the dollar's fall which is becoming more rapid and dangerous every day. The unrest in Middle East and around the world are not a coincidence when poor nations with currencies pegged to the dollar have to face the consequences of letting their people starve as their income is no longer sufficient for even the most basic needs. This is a financial trainwreck of global dimensions and something drastic has to change very fast or the results may be irreversible.
