And, remember, the severance of the dollar and gold was no coincidence. It was, in fact, part of a larger, long-term movement to bring the dollar to its knees.

This sounds a bit too tinfoil-hatty to my taste. As far as I can tell everything points to the USSA being an invasive and power hungry empire doing all it can to rule the entire planet and make its currency be the one and unique world currency. It doesn't quite add up with the idea of a deliberate super-longterm movement to undermine the US dollar and I would rather attribute the upcoming demise of the dollar to the short term / high time preference mindset of the american society than a deliberate plan. Also if it was deliberate, there were much shorter and easier ways to ruin the US dollar.

But maybe I'm missing your point. Can you explain what we are supposed to "remember"?
