Sept. 21 (LPAC)--Bernd Ziesemer, chief editor of the German economic daily Handelsblatt, posted a short article with that headline today in his blog on the Handelsblatt web page. He writes: "Sometime in the future, the big dollar collapse is coming. Many authoritative economists have forecast it for a long time." People should not be deceived by the fact that the U.S. currency, so far, has "slowly, undramatically depreciated," Ziesemer writes: "If a dollar disaster occurs, the current subprime crisis will be peanuts in comparison."

EIR Strategic Alert editor Claudio Celani posted a comment: "Mr. Ziesemer, if central banks go on with their policy, a dollar collapse is as guaranteed as the Amen in the Church. Read what Lyndon LaRouche has to say on that." Celani gave the link to LaRouche’s opening speech at the Sept. 15 Kiedrich conference, on this website.

A few hours later, six more readers posted their comments, convinced of the imminence of a dollar collapse. One agreed with LaRouche's estimate of the situation and asked: "What kind of society do we want to rebuild, after this one has collapsed?"
