Vincente Fox admits: United currency a long term goal of Bush

[Celebration]

He said it on Larry King last night. So much for "conspiracy theorists." At the pace things are going long term will be, like, next year.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0710/08/lkl.01.html

KING: E-mail from Mrs. Gonzalez in Elizabeth, New Jersey. "Mr. Fox, I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency?"

FOX: Long term, very long term. What we propose together, President Bush and myself, it's ALCA, which is a trade union for all of the Americas. And everything was running fluently until Hugo Chavez came. He decided to isolate himself. He decided to combat the idea and destroy the idea...

KING: It's going to be like the euro dollar, you mean?

FOX: Well, that would be long, long term. I think the processes to go, first step into is trading agreement. And then further on, a new vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA.

1. Jeez, that'll piss off the Canadians. They've got the 'best' currency these days of the bunch!

This isn't really conspiracy theory. It's been talked about for decades, now...when Boooooosh was still doing coke and getting shitfaced.

[Monk06]

32. If Canada did this we would be trading our oil for US debt. Won't happen.. We aren't stupid.

[MADem]

42. Won't happen in the near term, certainly. But I think it will happen in the next thirty years. NT

[bryant69]

2. Wait a second - unified money is a goal of the beast who's number is 666

Frankly I think we should go back to the days when everybody had their own household money - or maybe barter. Just to be safe.

12. ironic that the german 'world mark' is to be the nwo currency.

mark of the beast indeed.

[soothsayer]

3. fight the amero! germany, not he US, will lead the nwo.

this abomination will put us a step closer to thw 'world mark' (planned nwo global currency).

[RB TexLa]

4. Hardly a big deal, the Peso is widely accepted in the US as is the Dollar in Mexico.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. Peso, widely accepted in the US? Definitely not where I live.

On edit.

I live near NYC and there is a good size Mexican, South American and Central American population. I have never seen a Peso in circulation.

[Drifter]

6. Very location dependent ...

I am an hour from the Canadian border, and while it is rare to see someone using Canadian money, it is not unheard of. Canadian change is VERY common since it is very similar to US change. I'm sure that same thing applies to folks who live in close proximity to Mexican border.

I have never seen a Peso (as far as I know) in the wild.

8. Until a year ago I lived in MN

occasionally I'd see Canadian money but very little...I lived there for fifteen years. I live a couple of hours from the Mexican border and have never seen a peso. Maybe ON the border in border towns but not here.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. I do see and have had Canadian coins that sneak into the system but they are never accepted. Maybe

they will be now, considering their worth more than the dollar???

[Maine-ah]

25. many places in Maine accept them

pennies, nickles, dimes & quarters, but nothing more than that.

[MADem]

43. The Andy's IGA grocery in Houlton ME takes Canadian bills.

They give you a rate that's slightly less than one for one, I guess to cover their conversion costs.

[devilgrrl]

11. I live in Los Angeles and have yet to see any pesos

eom

[Ilsa]

16. I live in south Texas, and I haven't seen anyone opting to

be paid for goods and services with the peso, either.

[Marr]

20. Where? I'm in Los Angeles and the only place I've ever seen that would accept a peso

is one of those little hole in the wall taco stands. I've got $120 in pesos I've been trying to spend for a year, because I'm too lazy to go exchange them.

[Zookeeper]

21. I've never seen a Peso in circulation up here in MN....

I think it would be treated like a coin from Europe, China, Japan or anywhere else in the world. ("What is that?")

I seldom even see Canadian coins and have occasionally had them refused when they were in a handful of change.

Growing up in Detroit, across the river from Windsor, a little Canadian coin mixed in with U.S. and treated as equal was pretty common, though.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. It is? That is news to me and I live half an hour from the border

now the dollar is accepted on the other side, but that is not quite the same thing now is it?

[shain from kane]

7. I'm sure glad that Congress has those monetary powers under the Constitution, rather than B*sh.

[Me.]

9. 'Long, Long Term?'

He's out of office and * will be soon. How do they think they will accomplish this? And who wants it aside from the business interests that will profit?

[Celebration]

14. well

don't they all get educated on stuff like this at the Bilderberg conference every year?

[The2ndWheel]

19. A) What do you mean by "aside from business interests"?

Is there another interest somewhere?

2) They will accomplish it by the process of centralization and consolidation. America wouldn't exist without that process.

[Me.]

24. Not Sure What Your Question Is n/t

[Javaman]

13. Ahh so that's the goal of devaluating the dollar so it's on par with the peso...

genius, shear genius.

:banghead:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. Canada is in on this too. Look at the Canadian Dollar. eom

[Deja Q]

17. Fox was on O'Reilly's show too. Did Fox say that on O'Reilly's show?

Mind you, Bill was so incensed over keeping illegals out, and so on, that it was probably best for Fox to avoid the subject altogether...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Fox was also on the Daily Show and was insinuating that there are plans for an American Union. eom

[Deja Q]

27. Doubly nice.

I wish I saw O'Reilly's entire report; but it is interesting if he is avoiding the issue, again because of "border security" and all.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

28. I just can't bring myself to turn on Fox let alone O'Reilly. If there's a transcript to the

show, perhaps you can read what transpired.

[Supersedeas]

22. and no reaction for the one hit wonder known as Lou Dobbs?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. He has covered the posibility of a North American Union and he was furious.

At least for a few minutes he was.....

[lovuian]

26. its been in the plans for NWO

http://youtube.com/watch?v=fIEP7jreJ-Y

first we convert to Amero then unite with the Euro and then One World currency

[RB TexLa]

29. And what exactly would be wrong with that?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. Spoken like a true patriot............. eom

[earth mom]

34. Ever heard of the Constitution and your individual rights?!

With this plan they are both GONE-as in POOF! :grr:

[pampango]

35. Nothing. Sharing a common currency has been a good thing for Europe.

It has not damaged France, Germany or any other country and has not harmed the citizens of those countries. Germany is still Germany, France is still France. The fact that the bills in the wallets of Germans and French look different now does not change the nature of their societies.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

39. Are you aware that they are in the process of writing an EU Constitution and that

Constitution is supposed to override any of the members own laws? Some countries are balking at that.

[pampango]

40. I know that. It is my understanding that the EU constitution has to be ratified

by popular votes in each country. France and, I think, the Netherlands rejected the constitution, so they have gone back to the drawing board. The French and Dutch evidently either rejected the idea of a common constitution or thought the EU constitution as proposed was not as good as the ones they already had.

With regards to a common currency, Europeans have this without having a shared constitution. They are separate issues. We seem to be linking the two together in this thread.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. It isn't just the currency with the EU. They have power to bring anyone into

court that violates their financial regulations. ie..vendors in the UK for not using the metric system.

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/metr26.shtml

If it is only about unifying currency why are they working on creating a constitution and trying to get it ratified??? To control the countries within the EU.

[MADem]

44. That's why the UK refuses to play. They like their pound and their measurements.

[pampango]

45. The OP concerned the possibility of a North American common currency,

so I pointed out that Europe has a common currency and seems to function quite well.

There are people in Europe who would like to see it unified under a common constitution, but whether that comes to pass or not, they have a common currency and countries there have not lost their historical identities.

On a separate issue, if majorities in every EU country eventually believe that some version of an EU constitution is better than the constitutions they already have, they have that right. Given Europe's history of rivalry and warfare, I am not too surprised that there are some people there who favor more integration.

[earth mom]

33. A lot of us round here have been telling ya'll all so.

Yup-the truth will out on this one, just like my siggy says-and no I'm not feeling smug when I say that.

Just sad and angry that if the powers that be get their way, there will no longer The United States of America (or The Constitution) or Canada or Mexico.

Jeez-Is there ANY doubt that those bastards are pure fucking evil?! :puke:

36. Just like there is no France or Germany or Italy

:spray: :rofl:

[earth mom]

46. You need to inform yourself as to the REAL intentions of * & Co.

It's not a laughing matter.

Or maybe their plans suit you just fine.

:puke:

[sarcasmo]

37. The truth comes out.

I am not Crazy. Saved and bookmarked before it disappears. I love it when Politicians leave office. On edit: Nafta was only the beginning.

38. Any idea that Bush was a part of, that Americans didn't know about, is

best left to wither on the vine.
