One global currency and one world central bank?

[bamacre]

Some are saying that these two ideas, or at least one of them, will be the "solution" to the current financial crisis. Economic leaders throughout the world are meeting to come up with a plan to solve the financial problems.

Personally, I would be against both of these ideas. What do the rest of the P&N'ers think?

That's eventually going to lead to one world government. That'll be the end of social evolution and the beginning of global enslavement.

If it does happen, then I can say the sky is falling

I'm not too familiar with this idea so if anyone in support of it could provide some sort of article for more information that'd be nice.

I love how the mass just accepts these forms of solutions to problems without real questioning. If the NWO wants a change all they have to do is create a "crisis" then bring a "solution" forward and make people pass it/accept it without question because were in a state of emergency.

Haven't been to a Christian church eh?

It's drilled in your head on a weekly basis.

Isn't that one of the signs of the end of times (one global currency)?

Hello.

That's exactly the history you can read in that book, "The Shock Doctrine".

Yeah I remember watching the interview of the author when she was on colbert report. Its the sad truth and they will get away with this crap if they really want to. Its also scary that even 3 people voted yes for one world currency.

i thought the BIS was the central bank of the central banks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...ernational_Settlements

The Bank for International Settlements (or BIS) is an international organization of central banks which "fosters international monetary and financial cooperation and serves as a bank for central banks." [1] The BIS carries out its work through subcommittees, the secretariats it hosts, and through its annual General Meeting of all members. It also provides banking services, but only to central banks, or to international organizations like itself. Based in Basel, Switzerland, the BIS was established by the Hague agreements of 1930.

as for the one world gov-

We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent."

- Statement made before the United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1950 by James Paul Warburg


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 the 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 bright 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 autodetermination practiced in past centuries"

- David Rockefeller

Terrible idea. The US has nothing to gain from it and it will never see the light of day.

 

[bamacre]

Well, we could see both ideas emerge. Talks have begun. Who wants to bet that whatever they do actually come up with, will be more government?

We should pay local, county, state, federal, continent, and global taxes.

 

[sandorski]

At some point in time both are inevitable if we are to advance as a species. However, doing it prematurely will likely lead to disaster. In many ways the US $ already acts like a Global Currency, but as we have seen recently, the arrangement is rather precarious when good Economic Policy is not followed.

This amuses me. People are all "united we stand," but when it comes to increasing the spread of that unity, it's suddenly a bad thing.

I think a globally unified government is inevitable, and will be beneficial to everyone - but this depends on how it's done. We're not ready for it yet. The species still clings to primitive urges, and is overly xenophobic, separating everything into "them and us," still equating military strength to not only patriotism, but also a country's net value.

The population of the planet will need more time to homogenize itself. As more third-world countries are able to bring themselves out of poverty, they can become more connected with the outside world. Their culture will mix with the outside, and the outside will mix with theirs. I think we'll also eventually wind up with one language, though it will have many dialects.
It relates heavily to the speed and ease with which information can travel.

Yup. North America's rise in dominance has pretty much lead to the inevitable Homogenization of humanity. It is a clear example that People of all Races, Ethnic origins, Religions, and Creeds can co-exist and all be better as a result.

Some have already mentioned the Poison Pill though, Religion. Built into Judeo-Christian(I also assume Islam) belief is the idea that such Homogenization is Bad and Doomed to failure.

In ancient Jewish texts is the Tower of Babel story with its' audacious citizens who built a giant tower to reach the Heavens. Supposedly this offended "God"(for some reason) and "He" cursed them all by suddenly causing everyone to speak different languages, thus making communication impossible. Unable to communicate, everyone just scattered across the Earth seeking their own Territory. Personally I think the story is like the Creation story, just an attempt to understand something beyond the comprehension of the people of the time. For some Religious people though, the meaning is much more cynical and reinforces a Christian fear.

For Christianity, the fear of Global(anything) organization lies within the Anti-Christ/Beast story of the Book of Revelations and elsewhere in the New Testament. Add in some Red Scare and you've got the dominating idea within certain Christian circles that a Global Currency or Government is the fulfillment of the Anti-Christ/Beast "Prophecy". The UN has figured strongly within these peoples thinking, hence the Left Behind/UN usage. Personally, the Anti-Christ/Beast story gives all sorts of details beyond Global Currency/Government and though those 2 factors are noted, the story doesn't really exclude the possibilty of Global Government/Currency existing and being perfectly fine.

Pray tell, who exactly are these "some". I've never seen anyone with these views.

I didn't mean anyone here.

NO. It would be a huge disaster and will never actually happen. Why? Because the value of currency is a huge economic tool to manage an economy. If you don't have the ability to increase or decrease the value of your currency when needed, you're screwed.

 

[midway]

I could not under any circumstances support this. As a practical matter people need to be able to flee what isn't working and go to something that is. A system like this is impracticable and would lead to a guaranteed global financial meltdown.

Seems like liberals, conservatives, and moderates can all get behind the idea that this is a horrible idea.

 

[Moonbeam]

For those of you not at the first convention of Chordates convened to discuss the dangers posed by the emergence of Craniates, lo, those many hundreds of millions of years ago, similar issues were, there, brought up. The mouth parts and the endocrine systems were in hot debate over the emergence of this central authority calling itself the brain. The gut and the anus were screaming usurpation. All but the brain argued against intelligent coordination of the many parts, the notion of something greater emerging. And in all the millions and millions of years of evolution since, the greatest fear of all has always been the evolution of intelligence. But fortunately for us, it has not yet emerged.

 

[Moonbeam]

And don't forget, you always do exactly that which causes your fears to become real. The terror of control makes its emergence absolutely certain.
