News reports have been perfuntory; the incident has received little attention from the mainstream media in the West.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence reports, on the other hand, suggest that there may be more to this story than meets the eye.  According to uncorroborated reports from a source who shall remain unnamed for the sake of anonymity &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The Russians are burning all of their U.S. Federal Reserve T-Bills, as they have decided American dollars aren&#8217;t worth bothering to redeem.  Third world countries, corrupt dictators, Russian mafiosi, and even expatriate Russian oligarchs refuse to take bribes, pay-offs, or kick-backs in American greenbacks.  It seems that Federal Reserve Notes are not worth the paper they are printed on &#8212; something many Americans have known for quite some time now &#8230; and that the rest will soon find out.<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, the maintenance staff was burning the large-denomination bills in old-fashioned coal stoves to heat the building, as coal and heating oil are both in short supply in Russia due to the West&#8217;s crushing economic sanctions.  The Soviet-era coal stoves were in bad repair, and a small fire broke out in the basement of the Central Bank Building next to the storeroom where Russia&#8217;s foreign currency reserves &#8212; mostly Federal Reserve Notes, or T-Bills &#8212; were kept.  The fire quickly got out of control.<\/p>\n<p>There were no working sprinklers in the building due to cut-backs resultant of the Trump administration&#8217;s economic sanctions, punishment for interfering in the 2016 presidential election that put Trump in the White House (that&#8217;s gratitude for you.)  In desperation, the workers tried to smother the fire with more worthless T-Bills.  The fire only got larger &#8230; and stunk to high heaven.  In the end, the fire department had to send the city&#8217;s one working fire truck to douse the blaze.<\/p>\n<p>Other than smoke damage, the building was not seriously damaged.  Several trillion dollars in Federal Reserve Notes were destroyed, however.  According to a reliable source, the director of the Russian Central Bank shrugged it off, reportedly saying, &#8220;This saves us the bother of hauling all this worthless paper to the dump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n(chs 09-01-2018 1844 -0500)<\/p>\n<p><\/body><br \/>\n<\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News &#8211; Russian Central Bank building goes up in flames Charles Sulka commentary YouTube Video URL: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XO-ztgu5TLo Russian Central Bank building goes up in flames RT In this short video we have a report of a fire at the Russian &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/?page_id=617\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":529,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-617","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=617"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":633,"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/617\/revisions\/633"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/charlessulka.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
