The â??Global Central Bankâ?? Pipe Dream

[headshake]

Last week, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) issued a report calling for sweeping changes in the international financial and monetary order.

Arguing for a reduced role for the dollar, the report advocated for a global reserve bank with the power to issue its own currency, to monitor its membersâ?? national exchange rates, and to prop up or push down their currencies. In other words, UNCTAD is making the case for a global central bank.

The U.N. is not alone in calling for such a move. Since the eruption of the global financial crisis last fall and the accompanying loss of confidence in the U.S. economy, Russia and China have each called for the creation of a global currency in order to facilitate a transition away from the dollar as the worldâ??s primary reserve currency.

Setting aside the economics of the debate, what is the political feasibility of these proposals? History may help to answer this question.

The idea of creating a global central bank that can print its own currency is not new. In fact, the idea has come in and out of vogue several times since World War II.

and if you think this is a joke, check this out, the russian president has already shown off a coin that's been struck.

By Lyubov Pronina

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev illustrated his call for a supranational currency to replace the dollar by pulling from his pocket a sample coin of a â??united future world currency.â?�

â??Here it is,â?� Medvedev told reporters today in Lâ??Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. â??You can see it and touch it.â?�

The coin, which bears the words â??unity in diversity,â?� was minted in Belgium and presented to the heads of G-8 delegations, Medvedev said.

The question of a supranational currency â??concerns everyone now, even the mints,â?� Medvedev said. The test coin â??means theyâ??re getting ready. I think itâ??s a good sign that we understand how interdependent we are.â?�

Medvedev has repeatedly called for creating a mix of regional reserve currencies as part of the drive to address the global financial crisis, while questioning the U.S. dollarâ??s future as a global reserve currency. Russiaâ??s proposals for the G-20 meeting in London in April included the creation of a supranational currency.

They've already got a world currency called the SDR. It's used for international mail and international travel. There's no coin or paper for it, since it is, as the name indicates, Special Drawing Rights.

The false virtue of diversity just kills me. It's one of our company values at work, and it just turns my stomach that something like diversity can be listed alongside honesty, integrity, honor, etc. Just because you have a diverse group of people doesn't mean that it's a good thing. You can have a very diverse population of rapists & murderers. I'm sure prison populations are very diverse. The idea that diversity helps provide a variety of worldviews is misleading. Having a multitude of views doesn't mean any of those hold any water. You could have a bunch of NAMBLA members get together and give a multitude of views on how to prey on little boys, and it just goes to show that diversity doesn't stand on its own as a virtue. I can't think of any other so-called value or virtue that you could turn on its head like this.

Diversity is the manifestation of political correctness, or as I like to call it "truth that must not be said." I agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the concept that all ideas have equal merit is just silly.

Sorry to digress... Diversity just gets me going, and it's fitting that they'd put it on a world currency.

global economic control. the powers that be will tell you it is nothing new, that multi-national corporations have been doing it for decades and that politicians are merely trying to take it out of the hands of unscrupulous business men and placing it under the control of the representatives of the people. i can't help but wonder how the people can be represented on a global scale. i see our own bureaucracy, so far beyond the control of the people it is supposed to represent, and find it inconceivable how the people might influence an authority that would claim dominion over the entire planet.

the people, what an ethereal term. the common man, the proletariat, the masses, the working stiffs. i'm not sure our leaders even understand the meaning of the word and i'm sure they couldn't care less about what the people want. we are merely numbers to be counted and sheep to be shorn, the source of their power that are useless once they are sufficiently cowed and stripped of their self-determination. the people cannot possibly be left in charge of their own fates. they must be herded like cattle, milked of their labor and kept satisfied with bread and circuses. isn't it the duty of governments to use their armed might to keep the mob under control?

a global economy, global justice, global government. an entire planet under the thumb of the few, with armies to quell rebellion and the media under their control to soothe the people with lies and the occasional scapegoat for their amusement. this is the ultimate form of those eternal dreams of empire, a mainstay of tyrants since the dawn of time. this ain't nothing new.

Look listen people, we all here obviosuly are onto the whole global government/New World Order sceme. I propose instead of just writing out lengthy posts explaining everything to each other like nobody else understands it that we stand working twards a common goal instead of just stateing whats already happening. Because isnt that just wasteing time? I say we make a thread where we post our plans and ideas of things to do to protest, to get involved, to join patriot groups, discuss plans and preperations for hard times, Discuss things that might happen and how to overcome them. Wouldnt that just make more sence and get something done for a change instead of just posting rants online?? peace.

the only real stand to be taken is to live your life. preparation is all fine and dandy, but denial of government's hold over the individual by refusing to acknowledge its dominion speaks louder than joining a thousand militias. no bomb is as impressive as a single man that would risk imprisonment rather than bow to tyranny. we have passed the point of violent revolution, we have civilized ourselves into submission, but we still have the capacity to stand before the approaching tide and smile as it rushes over us.

i'm an old man and set in my ways. i have always lived as i pleased, harming no one and aiding those i could, and i will continue to do so, no matter what foolishness the petty bureaucrats of the world try to force on me. that is the only rebellion i have left in me, to be an example of how the individual is supposed to live. the liberty of the individual is my only cause and i see no point in forcing it on those too ignorant to see its worth. we must let the mob do as they please (that is merely an expression of their freedom) and live as if they did not exist. no matter how much i rant and rave, i know i will change nothing but a few minds that were already so inclined.

for quite some time i have believed the end of individualism is well on its way. the herd mentality is just too damn strong to hold it in check for very long. when there was room to be alone we had the luxury of glorying in self. now, as we pack ourselves tighter and tighter together, the mob has determined that one must sacrifice for all and that mediocrity is preferable to the inevitability of failure.

^ your just a broken old man. You are not a patriot at all sir. If you want to go out like a coward, a jew hiding in a closet as they knock your door down. Havent you read anything from the founding forefathers? Dont you know you have to fight evil and tyranny? Dont you realize that Its even a spiratual battle and God wants you to fight evil and defend your family and kids? Your going to let them take our beautiful country away. Yeah were not perfect our country was founded on the genocide of indian tribes, but we have the most free society and the constituion. At least sit in your rocking chair and give them a few rounds from the old shotgun. Your just like my dad, a guy who's a complete coward. He refuses to listen to whats going on or prepair because it unpsets his lifestyle. Dont you know the only reason you people have those lifestyles is because of our freedoms? Dont you know that from time to time you have to stand up to defend them with blood to refresh the tree of liberty. Nothings free. And My dad and his oh well then it will be a big blood bath and will all go fight and die blah blah blah so whats the use, why prepair. WHY?!?!? SO WE CAN EAT, SO WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT SURVIVAL! Cowards all Cowards. Pathetic, might as well give up and go off to the camps "because ive had a good life". Yeah go off to the camps you pussy ass motherfucker, go! less mouths to feed for the real men, who will get shit done. Go tuck tail, Go Cowar to the bully on the play ground pussy. "why try, blah blah blah, its just so impossible, blah blah. Your Lazy ass cowards who want a peaceful life style handed to you or else fuck it just kill me because I have no balls and the soduim flouride ive been drinking for years made me docile. I spit on you all.

you're just a broken old man. You are not a patriot at all sir.....

some folks just don't get it. each new group of punks comes up and claims that all who came before are meaningless in the face of their undeniable truth. there is nothing particularly brave about advocating revolution and then attacking those who see no gain in taking up arms against the ignorant masses that have brought us to this sorry pass. nor is there anything particularly cowardly in merely standing your ground against the unstoppable tide, knowing it means destruction, but holding despite the inevitable loss. you can call me a coward if you like, i've been called worse by my own mother. your invective means as little to me as the various labels and libels i have endured from a variety of fools. the government considers me a subversive, law enforcement has determined i am a criminal, liberals see me as reactionary and conservatives call me an anarchist loon. yours is just the latest in a long line of ignorant accusations and as meaningless as all the rest.

i can't help but wonder what all your ranting and raving has cost you and how much you are really willing to give up for your cause. i know what my stand has cost me and i doubt many of those vocal militants would much enjoy what i see as merely the cost of living a life that teaches by example. the insanity that is my life has cost me family and friends, it has cost me wealth and position, it will most likely end up costing me my freedom. so you can take your insults and shove them where the sun don't shine because i've paid more dues than your puerile militia buddies can even begin to understand and i'm still here, waiting for more.

i've stood beside men whose boots the like of you aren't fit to lick and they would have laughed as heartily as i at the militant rhetoric you spout as if it were something new. you just don't seem to understand that all the organizing and all the calls to arms are essentially meaningless bravado. society will continue to evolve. the people will make their mistakes and occasionally ensnare themselves in the malignant designs of the powerful, but the cause of individual liberty will never be lost as long as there is someone left to show those foolish masses that freedom is not to be feared. you cannot force people to be free, you can only point the way and hope some follow.

great thread. keep on keepin on with all this.

I am torn between both of your approaches. The part of me that gets mad and wants to fight back is quelled by the part of me that knows what lies ahead is bigger than any number of rounds that I can accumulate in order to defend my family, my life, and our country.

It's crippling. and infuriating. what can be done?

what can my neighbors and friends do to defend ourselves against MP's enforcing martial law or soldiers launching an air attack?

I did think about digging us a bunker, but my carpal tunnel won't allow it!

come on guys! are we all just gonna roll over and submit? we know that knocking off the MP's that come to take us away isn't going to save anybody either.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna read my Bible and teach my family about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ because I honestly believe that is our only hope.

When I was commanding soldiers in Iraq, I learned rather quickly that the same man that smiles at you during the day and gives you free bread is the same one that's mortaring you at night. We had an interpreter that we trusted very much, and he was doing this exact thing. And we had good, loyal interpreters that were also killed while on vacation, on the other side of that coin. The key to resistance is to blend in as much as possible and move through the underground to make deep currents that are more difficult to track and observe. If you stand out at some demonstration with the Gadsden flag, carrying an AK slung on your back, you're probably going to be put on some secret federal list and when things get ugly, your house will be first stop for the police lock-down. If you do want to go public, don't ever give out your real name and watch for out of uniform police taking pictures of you.

One Iraqi said something rather prophetic to me once. He stated that "behind me stands a thousand." He was making the point that if he was not treated well and with respect, he would go back to his clan and tribe and then scores of relatives, friends, and family would be incited against our efforts. Our best course of action is to wake up as many people as possible and then be ready to make our move. We need to become the new Minutemen.
