Honestly your really starting to take the position of a conspiracy theorist. Your making it sound like the IMF can control whoever they feel like. Not just that, but to say the only reason that Greece failed is because the IMF downgraded their debt is simply false. People were shorting Greek debt months before all this just happened. The reason the IMF had any power over Greece was because they were requiring Greece to meet certain requirements before it would receive emergency financing.
To think that the US will become a 3rd world country while others survive is simply illogical. If the US economy fails, ALL OTHERS GO DOWN WITH IT. That is why it is called the global economy. The US exports high tech type goods to other countries while China has its primary market for cheaply made goods (us), its easy to see we are all tied together and for one of us to survive, the other key players have to survive as well. Greece is not one of those key players but is the largest country thus far to be teterring on the brink of bankruptcy.
all others go down with it?
well
since european union is on the brink of collapse as it is... i dont see that too far from happening either
"
And so the European private banks win the overnight battle with the Central Banks again: after shorting the EURUSD all the way to almost 1.25, they have forced the European Central Banks to buy ever more of their worthless Government bond holdings.
Reuters reports that overnight CBs have been aggressive buyers of Greek, Portuguese and Irish Sovereign (if there is such a laughable concept as sovereign any more) bonds, which in turn has forced a quick short covering spree in the EURUSD and the EURJPY, which in turn has forced futures to go from 10 handles down to up 4.
In other words, Central Banks now are fighting tooth and nail to prevent the market from going down ever again. To all the shorts out there- you are no longer taking on merely the Fed, now you have every money printer against you as they scramble to load up with every worthless asset imaginable.
At this rate Dow, Dax and Dung Manure 36,000 is easily reachable. The only way to play this is through gold, which is now the only flight from Central Bank lunacy." -blacklistednews.com
"The derivatives market is now estimated at $700 trillion (notional, or face, value, not market value). The world's gross domestic product in 2009: $69.8 trillion; America's, $14.2 trillion. The total market cap of all major global stock markets? A mere $30 trillion. And the total amount of dollar bills in circulation, most of them abroad: $830 billion (not trillion)."

just because the usa falls and the rest of the world does too DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WONT HAPPEN
