Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News for September 17th
Good Evening DinarOpinions,
California sues major oil companies
The American state of California has sued a number of the world’s largest oil companies, accusing them of causing the climate crisis, the New York Times reported
The civil suit, which was filed in San Francisco, seeks the setting up of a special fund at the companies’ expense to compensate the state for the costs of climate change-related disasters.
The defendants are five companies: Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron, as well as the American Petroleum Institute.
Among other things, the state accuses them of a longstanding practice of underreporting the risks of hydrocarbon fuels and deceiving the public.
In recent years, similar lawsuits have been filed in courts of various instances by seven more American states and dozens of municipalities, the newspaper says.

Russia is going gold in global currency wars: Rouble vs the fiat currency system
Russia and Saudi Arabia are increasing the price of oil by creating more of a demand for it. As they continue to limit their production of oil, it will continue to create price pressures on the overall value of oil.
Although this will undermine the value of the Ruble over the Dollar, there are conversations taking place that the Ruble will be backed by gold soon or the introduction of a gold-backed BRICS currency is coming.
This will move us away from a Currency War to a Gold Standard Protocol. It will no doubt be a significant blow to the dollar and begin to level the playing field across the board on the new digital payment systems taking place under local currencies in the East.
Just the other day, we shared an article about the Global Gold Mutual Fund creating a gold standard for the Philippines with invitations for other countries to come on board by January the 20th, 2024.
Are we about to see new standard protocols inside the new digital asset-based trading system come into fruition?
