Financial Armageddon: Will the Amero be the false Messiah?
I don’t claim to be an expert in economics by any means, but lately I’ve been putting myself through a crash course in an attempt to put recent events in perspective. Recent mainstream news has been full of depressing reports about the state of our economy and the dollar. Topping the headlines has been the mortgage industry, whose biggest companies, such as Countrywide, could be facing bankruptcy. Yesterday there was even a rush on the bank by customers fearful their money would be lost in the process. This is the downside of the real estate boom a couple of years ago; many people are unable to pay the rising costs of variable mortgages, and/or when they try to sell their homes, they discover their home is worth is less than the mortgage they carry.
This situation has global ramifications, since the world markets are so closely tied into each other. Recently several countries have been attempting to resuscitate the markets by infusing cash into the system, our own included. As recently as this past Thursday, central banks in Australia, Japan, the UK, Canada and the European Central bank were forced to step in, hoping to stave off the so called ‘credit crunch’ and potential ensuing market crash. The Federal Reserve additionally cut the rate on discount loans, which might ease the pinch at least for now.
And once again, we find China involved at the very top of the pyramid, this time boldly threatening to collapse the dollar. China holds so many of our dollars, an estimated $900 billion in bonds, that it would be very easy for them to do so, thus setting off a kind of financial Armageddon. The Senate has even drafted a bill which calls for “tariffs against Chinese goods as retaliation for alleged currency manipulation.” It seems weather wars and exporting toxic consumer goods are not enough; an economic war could very well be in the works, as the sleeping dragon stirs.
But not everyone is suffering. Forbes reported on August 8 that “a consortium of the nation’s leading investment banks have quietly created an index that is not only protecting them against the recent market meltdown but also promising to make them bundles of money in the process.” Additionally, Nasdaq is reportedly launching “a private stock market for super-wealthy investors”, which will be outside the purview of any regulatory agency.
One cannot help but notice the timing in these maneuvers; in July, the Rothschild banking group announced its re-unification, ending a separation dating from the 19th century. A famous quote by Mayer Amschel Rothschild is repeated often, “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes her laws.” This family is infamously involved in the creation of our modern financial system, dating back to the middle ages. For an excellent, well-researched look inside that history, as well as the occult Masonic symbolism on our money itself, check out Tracy R. Twyman’s article, “The Alchemical Dollar: The Magic and Mystery of America’s Money”, based on her book on the same topic. She links the Federal Reserve’s deeds over the years to an alchemists dream of creating gold, or wealth, from lesser materials. So it is with our dollar; no longer backed by gold or silver, our paper money, now fiat currency, is based solely on the faith of the consumer. In her opinion, by doing so, we are all participating in a magical or alchemical ritual set up long ago. One need not be a conspiracy theorist to find that point of view fascinating.
The nation’s Comptroller, David Walker, was in the news recently warning of a coming fiscal collapse, comparing the state of our economy with the fall of Rome. And don’t count me as an official Ron Paul supporter just yet, but his article, “The End of Dollar Hegemony”, did give me pause. He didn’t have to touch on the occult history of our financial system to remind us of what the Federal Reserve really is (a private bank), and what the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 could mean for the future of our economy. Congressman Paul also makes a good argument that our recent wars are as much economic as anything else; according to him, abandoning the gold standard forced the US to back it instead with oil, arranging with OPEC in the 1970s to trade exclusively in dollars for the valuable commodity. When Saddam Hussein began to demand trading in Euros rather than dollars for his oil in 2000; well, we know what happened. Similarly in 2001, Venezuela began to talk about switching to Euros for their oil, and within a year there was a coup attempt against Chavez, which was, according to Paul (as well as Counterpunch and Chavez himself), reportedly assisted by the CIA. Paul says Iran is beginning to make the same demands, and rumors of war with that country are already in the news.
Another thought that keeps occurring to me is that we are headed for a new paradigm in terms of global unification of our currencies. This week’s meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership in Montebello, Canada, based on the CSIS report on plans for the North American Union, should be a major heads-up to those who don’t already know about the Amero; this YouTube clip from CNBC says it all. It’s coming. And again, the timing should not be ignored. What better way to introduce the idea of a new, unified currency that could compete with the Euro, than allow our dollar to collapse in plain view, to the horror of the average consumer? Take note that protests against the meeting will not be allowed, they are meeting in total secrecy and seclusion a la Bilderburg, which also met there in 1983, and they even plan a 25 kilometer security radius to avoid such threats. Attending along with Presidents Bush, Calderon of Mexico, and Prime Minister Harper of Canada, will be several members of the CSIS who are also members of Bilderburg, the Trilateral Commission, and the CFR, including Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Oh, yeah. Those guys.
“When rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land; when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures; when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn – all this is robbery and chaos. It is not in keeping with the Tao.” - Tao Te Ching #53
