Yet, it is also possible to be more specific as to the types of changes that are about to emerge. If we look at geopolitics, it seems very likely that there will be a dramatic downfall of the value of the US dollar as we come to the Fifth DAY, with very far reaching consequences for the international economy. In my article about the beginning of the Fourth NIGHT I pointed to the likely implementation of the Iranian oil bourse in the immediate time ahead and such an oil bourse, the first to trade oil for euros, was in fact registered on May 5th. According to a recent speach by the Iranian president this will no longer be selling oil for dollars as of July. If this was not enough, Russia's president Vladimir Putin announced on May 15 that Russia will now institute a similar exchange that will only trade oil for rubles. Considering the enormous trade deficit of the US the value of the dollar has essentially only been kept up by the petrodollar system and the need for anyone wanting to buy oil to have US dollars in his possession. This system is now about to fall as many countries will try to get rid of their stock of American dollars whose value has been kept at an artificially high level because of the petrodollar system. The Russian exchange is not scheduled to take effect until Day Five and is likely to be a much more important event than the inauguration of the Iranian given that many are hesitant to the religious agenda of Iran and may not want to be involved with its bourse. In the case of Russia, it currently has such a strong control of much of the world's energy resources that there are many countries that do not have a choice. Unlike the US, Russia does not need to fight wars in foreign countries to maintain this hold.

I have previously pointed to the rise of China and India as emerging engines of the world economy as examples of the form the strengthening of the Eastern hemisphere takes at this particular time. As we enter the Fifth DAY, a new phenomenon will however be added to this strengthening: The return of Russia as a superpower. It is hard to see this happening in terms of military power, but this is really immaterial at the present state of an emerging energy shortage in much of the world. Russia cannot be easily attacked and occupied by an outside power like Iraq. Russia has already grown to become the world's largest producer of oil and its emerging superpower status will be based on the control it currently has over the distribution of oil and gas in the world. Not even the military power of the US can change this fact and we will see a very significant shift towards the power of the East as the Fifth DAY begins, especially as some of its leading powers, China, Russia and Iran seem to be on fairly good working terms with each others. The return of Russia as a superpower is in general terms consistent with the shift towards the North that takes place in the Underworlds after they pass their midpoints.

I guess that we can just hope that the impact is less than he expects. I'm already reminding myself that I can't go into fear over the next 2 years regardless of what happens. I truly feel that this is why we're here in this place at this time.
