We Dragons - Endtime (cover/improv of Trouble classic) - Vancouver BC, Railway Club

Cover of the classic Trouble instrumental with a reading from Bonner & Wiggin's "Empire of Debt" thrown in for good measure ... The "endtime" for US Dollar dominance as a reserve currency so-to-speak.

It's an excellent and prophetic book - http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Debt-Rise-Financial-Crisis/dp/0471739022 - from which she reads :

"The great cost of administering the empire requires an ever-expanding supply of the imperial currency. Since U.S. currency has become untethered to gold, the quantity of paper dollars floating around the globe has ballooned significantly, rendering each dollar a little less valuable than the last.

Globalized commerce, as practiced by the United States since 1971, has a fraudulent side. The dollar is merely a piece of paper since Nixon slammed the gold window shut, and is backed by nothing more than the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury. How good a promise is that? No one knows for sure.

Investors are tempted to look out their windows, see the sun shining, and think the good times will last forever. They have no interest in the financial crimes of the Disco Age.

Bonner & Wiggin, Empire of Debt"

@jaimepaullamb - Thanks very much. Alternate takes on Witchfinder General tunes would be cool to hear. Good idea! Cheers.

Hopefully one day we'll get around to giving it an all-cylinders-firing dooming treatment.
