Members Dave Campbell Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 I posted this topic over at the PP forum, and it's still going.I'd like to find out what you folks here make of it... Being interviewed was Steve Previs - Vice President of Jeffries International Ltd, an international investment banking advisor. Jefferies is a leading investment banking advisor and underwriter to growing and mid-sized companies in the U.S., and a leading trader of equity, high yield and convertible securities. Somehow I don't think a guy like this is prone to conspiracy theories. What I wonder is... the $700B bailout... is this a step towards allowing the currency to crash -after all, that new money in circulation will devalue the dollar, will it not?How many more hits can the currency take?In order for an economic agenda such as this to take place, the standard of living of Americans and Canadians will have to fall closer to that of Mexico, then the timing is right to wheel out the Amero. I dunno, maybe I've missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 Who wants the Amero? Not the US, Canada, or Mexico, certainly. It would be fun to have an Amero coin as a collector's curio but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave Campbell Posted October 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 Thud, you'd have a point there, but that guy's a banker and he's talking about the Amero and the NAU pretty much as a done deal. It's just that to me it seems like there's a blackout on this story out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KovachianOne Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 In order for an economic agenda such as this to take place, the standard of living of Americans and Canadians will have to fall closer to that of Mexico, then the timing is right to wheel out the Amero. I dunno, maybe I've missed something.So when the Euro was implemented, countries like Norway and Luxembourg had to lower their standard of living in order to compensate for poorer countries like Albania and Moldova. This "equalization" did not happen. Yea, you're definitely missing something. I don't know what, but your logic falls flat on it's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave Campbell Posted October 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 Time will tell, won't it? You did watch the clip, right?That banker was talking about a borderless North America. Just think about what that might mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 What are you talking about? The Amero is a chimera. The only people who lend it any credibility are conspiracy theorists. It ain't gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted October 5, 2008 Members Share Posted October 5, 2008 So you're calling that investment banker in the YouTube clip a conspiracy theorist? No. Poor word choice on my part, I'm afraid. However, the date on the video is November 27, 2006, nearly two years ago, when the Amero rumor mill was in high gear. I haven't heard anyone with any credibility talk about the Amero as an ascendant currency since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1tallbassguy Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Thanks for posting this Dave Campbell. Here are some points of evidence to support the existence of the NAU. Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America Prime Minister Harper officially endorses North American Union! Building a North American Community Denying its existence does not make it go away. This is growing much like the EU community did in the early years.Anyone in Europe care to comment?

Members Dave Campbell Posted October 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Here's Ron Paul at a GOP debate, with a clip from "Network" thrown in... I agree, it's not a bunch of guys in three piece suits sitting around a flaming pentagram, chanting, but rather a culture of business pushing for maximum profit and loosening trade restrictions. Look for the name Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Thud, you'd have a point there, but that guy's a banker and he's talking about the Amero and the NAU pretty much as a done deal.Funny, I heard a few Wamu bankers say that there was no way that Wamu would go under. It's just that to me it seems like there's a blackout on this story out there. Or, that it's a bunch of hogwash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first citation says absolutely nothing about a unified currency. The second quotes Harper a supporting a 'North American Community' which is a far cry from a formal North American Union. The last is an opinion piece from a think tank. It proves (or disproves) nothing. I'll take the Amero seriously when the respective governments of Canada, the US, and Mexico make official statements about a unified currency. Until then, I'll take them for the tin-foil hat rants they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the Harper one is a propaganda piece against the conservatives for the coming Federal election, and references events from a year ago. And John Manley?

Members 1tallbassguy Posted October 6, 2008 Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 It's just that to me it seems like there's a blackout on this story out there. Not a suprise to see a media blackout.Here is a quote from David Rockefeller (founder of the CFR ) at a CFR meeting about media blackouts: '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. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination [read as 'democracy'] practiced in past centuries." Rockefeler and Zbignew Brezinski (who is Obama's major advisor) are two birds of a feather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave Campbell Posted October 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2008 Not a fan of Zbignew's, but to his credit in Feb '07 he did stand before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and warn to watch for a possible false flag incident by the Bush administration to justify an attack on Iran.
