U.S. Dollar Doomsayers Are Speaking . .

[GB_Cherry]

Many web site regrading the finical crisis that America is facing has many U.S. Dollar Doomsayers mentioning such ideas that the US will moving to the Euro, as it is gaining in value. What does the Church think and preach about One World Currency and/or Government?

I dunno, I was planning on taking a motorcycle tour of the Alps in June, but with the exchange rate and “petrol” prices over there, figured I’d better stick around here till things get better.

That should read financial crisis . . . .it’s late and although my body is telling me I’m sleepy I just can’t fall asleep. Thought maybe a little reading would help.

Even if the dollar did go under we would be a long long way from a one-world currency. The Euro in only good in less than two dozen countries out of over a hundred. As far as a one-world government goes, when many individual countries struggle to get a one-country government, I doubt this is something to worry about any time soon.Be sure to watch out for the black helicopters.

do not think the Church has every expressed an opinion about global currencies or related economic issues.

The Church wants all people treated with dignity and desires and promoted helping the poor. The Church has spoken out against economic oppression throughout her whole history.

However, the Church has never seen fit to tell governments how to manage the global economy. That seems a bit of a stretch for a group whose primary concern is saving souls and preaching the Gospel.

John Paul was always one who warned that globalization was a bad thing. So if he were still alive, I can’t imagine that he would be too pleased if the US changed to the Euro.

Perhaps you link us to a credible website. There are websites out there predicting just about anything. Moving to the Euro is something I have never heard of. Probably not something that is going to happen soon, given how long it took Europe to move to the Euro.

Given the time that has gone by with us not adopting the metric system (which IMO would be a good idea), I doubt we will be moving to the Euro anytime soon.

Exactly…there is about a 1 in 2,985,984 (those are non-metric odds…don’t try to convert it ) chance of us moving to the Euro in the near future. What the OP may have heard is that some investment is moving from dollars to euros, and that some pricing indices (e.g. oil) may move from dollars to euros.

Speculating like that simply is going to inflate the value of the Euro. Eventually the market would correct itself.

I do not know how to time markets, but if you do it correctly, you can short the Euro with significant leverage and make a profit.

That’s exactly what I heard/read, however I can longer located the articles/sites I stumbled across. I guess you should just start calling me the tin-foil hat kid.

*** Well this is a scary thought! “Amero” where US, Mexico and Canada become one union, and the currency becomes the
“Amero”.***

I don’t want to believe, but It could be possible.

Possible does not mean likely.
It it seems proplematic to worry about unlikely possibilities.
It is also possible that I could win both the Florida and Georgia lotteries tonight…I’m not quiting my job as yet though.

No worries, GB. It isn’t a conspiracy theory to think that some indices may go euro instead of dollar. The world market looks at every currency’s situation, and ours is not doing so well. The Euro is very strong, so there are investors who have second-thoughts about the Dollar.

However, thinking that we would move our currency to the Euro, is without merit. If it were that easy, there are other countries who would have changed their currencies to something more stable years ago…

I do not think that way! I was merely just putting this out there as people, here, were talking about the Euro. We do not live in Europe,. This “Amero” could possibly become a reality.

Anything “could” happen, but there isn’t anybody in our government proposing or advocating an “Amero.” There are only conspiracy theories.

 

[iamrefreshed]

The dollar will die as do all fiat currencies.

One day we may very well be told to trade in 10 dollars for one Amero.

Well There was a meeting in March 2005 of the three presidents.

I guess what I am saying is, let’s just not “sweep this “Amero” currency thought under the carpet” or put it on the back burner, or have a “Wait and see additude” .
I think we as the American people should keep track of this.
I will be watching, listening and talking about this “Amero currency thought” to everyone I know.

iamrefreshed The dollar will die as do all fiat currencies.

That is my thoughts too! It will be a a very sad day for all American people IF this were to become a reality!

Oh my gosh!! Three presidents met to discuss mutual goals? That is horrendous!!!

Corsi is a conspiracy theorist, and he is off-base. The link to the joint statement in the article doesn’t work, so let’s go with the quotes he provided as evidence of this grand conspiracy between the three presidents:

We will establish a common approach to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline the secure and efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic across our borders.
…
We will establish working parties led by our ministers and secretaries that will consult with stakeholders in our respective countries. These working parties will respond to the priorities of our people and our businesses, and will set specific, measurable, and achievable goals.

Do these really sound threatening to our sovereignity and/or way of life?

Do check out the working website www.spp.gov and let me know what you think is so terrible about the three of our countries working together on regulatory cooperation and security of our continent. If you find anything where the three presidents have agreed to work toward the implementation of a single currency, please give evidence. A Jerome Corsi opinion/analysis piece really doesn’t hold any weight IMO.
