2. Didn't they listen to President Obama on Tuesday? He made a great case for keeping the Dollar.
On the plus side, it's the UN doing this and not just one crooked country like China (or the US, it seems).

On the minus side, do corporations control the UN?

Whatever.

5. The Predictions are coming true.
Let's see if the U.S. has enough guts to go it alone.

This was all documented in the now ancient film The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America

The analysis of this movie is so prescient, one shudders to think that this information has been known for quite some time now.

If you want to skip the Historical foundation for the film, skip to Hour 3:24:00 and watch the last 10 minutes to see what informed and intelligent people where thinking in the early 90's. I just watched it again and it gave me chills.

At hour 3:33:00 the host mentions the move toward a unified global currency, and states this is a Trojan Horse offered by the International Bankers. I tend to agree with this, simply because the fact that if the world used a Unified Currency, their would be no way to find a safe haven in a see of homogenous control.

He offers some solutions to protect oneself, such as foreign currency funds, or a Swiss Bank account, but this avenue has been closed and the Money Masters have seen to it that this way out needed to be closed.

Also the return to the Gold standard is right on, and it should be avoided because all the Gold is in the hands of a very few organizations and countries, basically a cornered market. If you want to see what answers he got when he tried to get into Fort Knox, you'll have to watch the film.

See The Century of the Self for a background on the evolution of control.

The following was copied from http://www.themoneymasters.com/principles.htm

Further, modern history is replete with instances in which the Hegelian dialectic has been applied to the political and economic orders to manipulate or soften-up governments to change in ways contrary to the public good. This method usually involves the artificial (i.e. coldly calculated) initiation of conflict of some kind after careful conditioning of the elements of the society who could either obstruct or implement the planned change; followed by a crisis (e.g. an economic or political anomaly such as the stock market crash of 1929 or the oil crises of 1974 and 1979); which is then "interpreted" by controlled mass media to direct the responses to the crisis into pre-planned avenues and away from correct responses such as careful analysis of the causes and criminal indictment of the perpetrators (Manipulation on the personal/psychological order follows a similar pattern of stress, emotion, counseling). Orwell noted this in 1984:

In governing the populace, unrest cannot be averted. Therefore, it must be channeled and cultivated.

The following quotation of David Rockefeller, then Chairman of Chase Manhattan bank, speaking at the June, 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden Baden, Germany (a meeting attended by then-Governor Bill Clinton) is illustrative of the media control mentioned above:

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. He went on to explain: It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.

Similarly, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote in 1972 that the

"nation state as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state."


Two more interesting pre-9/11 Statements:

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nation will accept the New World Order." -- David Rockefeller, Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank (now J.P. Morgan Chase bank)

"The process of transformation.. is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor." -- PNAC (Neo-con Project for a New American Century document)

In light of such scheming, it surely makes sense to attempt to anticipate the dangers involved and to prepare means of escaping them.

If man lets himself rush ahead without foreseeing in good time the emergence of new social problems, they will become too grave for a peaceful solution to be hoped for. -Pope Paul VI

Also, such a discussion can encourage the development of authentic reform movements based on the conclusions reached, which would otherwise have no focus or rallying point. Finally, though the mass media would blind us to the sufferings of the 3rd, and now 4th, world by ignoring it and redirecting our interests to sports and fantasy and our compassion to seals and snail darters, nevertheless we will always have the poor with us on this planet, those who suffer the ravages of extreme poverty while we dwell in relative plenty. The number of unemployed people has grown rapidly around the world and was estimated by the International Labor Organization to be over one billion by 1994. In fact, the present debt-based monetary system inevitably results in vast accumulations of wealth in fewer and fewer hands, which necessitates extreme poverty for vast numbers of mankind. In 1997, 441 billionaires owned as much of the world's wealth as the poorer one-half (50%) of mankind (2.4 billion people). Consistent with one's state-of-life, we must come to the aid of the increasing multitudes of our impoverished fellow men.

Let us all set to work, for at this time a grave duty is imposed upon the consciences of all; a duty for all, employers and employees, citizens and farmers, moralists, pastors and their flocks, to help resolutely in the solution of the economic problem that distresses us. Universal suffering puts it in the front rank and bestows upon it a character of sacredness.

These words of French Cardinal Verdier during the Great Monetary Contraction (a.k.a. the Great Depression) are fully apropos to the situation in over four-fifths of the world today, where extreme poverty is ubiquitous and deepening very rapidly. There children are born into a Great Depression which only worsens as they grow up in it.

the reality of an innumerable multitude of people - children, adults and the elderly, in other words real and unique persons, who are suffering under the intolerable burden of poverty. There are many millions who are deprived of hope due to the fact that, in many parts of the world, their situation has worsened. Before these tragedies of total indigence and need, in which so many of our brothers and sisters are living, it is the Lord Jesus himself who comes to question us... (Cf. Mt.25:31-46) - Pope John Paul II

Even in the U.S. and Canada the middle class is rapidly being squeezed down into poverty as the poor increase in numbers daily, despite the employment of both spouses now, often holding second and even third jobs, being forced to warehouse their children in institutions.
