Re: US Dollar is DEAD! From Congress!
The Euro coins were also designed and minted years before (1989) it actually became an common European currency!
Back then it just had a different name, the ECU! And in 1989 people smiled and laughed about it, just thinking of it as a future utopia. But then, in January 2002, the Euro actually was established and since then prices doubled all over Europe! Last edited by King Lear; 09-15-2008 at 09:56 AM. |

Re: US Dollar is DEAD! From Congress!
Lehman Brothers employees leave their office with cardboard boxes
The fourth-largest investment bank in the US, Lehman Brothers, has said it will file for bankruptcy protection, amid a growing global financial crisis. Lehman had incurred losses of billions of dollars in the US mortgage market. The move threatens to deal a further blow to the global financial system, as banks unwind their deals with Lehman. Merrill Lynch, also stung by the credit crunch, has agreed to be taken over by Bank of America in a dramatic weekend of events for Wall Street. Stock markets in Europe and Asia dropped sharply and the dollar tumbled against the euro and the yen as Lehman's failure raised fears about the strength of the global financial system. The global financial economy has never in recent years been tested by quite such a combination of accidents and jolts to confidence -Robert Peston, BBC business editor (Read Robert's blog) In quotes: Lehman's demise The FTSE 100 index of leading UK shares was down 160 points, almost 3%, at 5256.50 in early exchanges. Wall Street is also expected to open lower in what is likely to be a tense day of trading. The Bank of England and the European Central Bank said they were monitoring money markets and stood ready to intervene if necessary. Talks collapse The chance that Lehman Brothers could collapse increased sharply after the strongest potential buyers pulled out at the weekend. Barclays and Bank of America had been in talks to rescue the bank but negotiations faltered when it became clear that the US Treasury was strong opposed to using government money to help clinch a deal. Greg Wood, the BBC's North America business correspondent, said that police had cordoned off the bank's headquarters in New York and staff were leaving with cardboard boxes as onlookers gathered to watch the bank's demise. "I think the whole history - 150 years of effort and hard work - that's the most saddening part for me," said one Lehman employee as she left the building. The bank, which employs about 25,000 staff worldwide, including 5,000 in the UK, was founded in 1850 by three brothers. 'Extraordinary 24 hours' Lehman Brothers said it intended to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which allows a company time to reorganise and devise a plan to pay creditors over time. It said that its broker-dealer division and asset management division Neuberger Berman Holdings would not be included in the filing. The accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers said the UK operations of Lehman Brothers have been placed under administration, and the business would be wound down in an orderly fashion. Bank of America said it had agreed to buy investment bank Merrill Lynch for $50bn (£28bn), in a deal that will create the world's largest financial services company. Three of the top five US investment banks have now fallen victim to the credit crunch. Lehman and Merrill join Bear Stearns, which was sold to JP Morgan for a knockdown price in March. The BBC's business editor, Robert Peston, said that it had been Wall Street's most extraordinary 24 hours since the late 1920s. He said that Merrill's sale was almost as shocking as Lehman's demise. "The global financial economy has never in recent years been tested by quite such a combination of accidents and jolts to confidence," he said. Insurer in trouble In addition to Lehman and Merrill Lynch, problems at AIG, the world's largest insurer, are also mounting. Reeling from losses on its exposure to real estate, AIG has sought $40bn from the Federal Reserve to shore up its finances, the New York Times has reported. To help prevent panic on financial markets, the Federal Reserve said for the first time it will accept stocks owned by banks as collateral for short-term cash loans, broadening its emergency lending programme. Also 10 of the world's biggest banks on Sunday agreed to establish a $70bn emergency fund, with any one of the bank's able to able to tap up to a third of it should they face any liquidity problems.

Re: US Dollar is DEAD! From Congress!
Okay everybody, calm down. Martial law will be necessary because of the the public's behavior after the US economic collapse.
The camps (which are NOT concentration type camps) are for people who are militant and those who will be causing trouble in general; they're NOT for everyone. The point being that you aren't going to be taken to a camp unless you're behaving in an unreasonable (i.e. militant) manner. Reasonable individuals won't be taken to the camps. The key here is for people to behave REASONABLY, not in a militant manner. People are reading too much into the whole thing and assume that these camps have something to do with the depopulation agenda. They don't; they're prisons in which to keep the thousands of militant nuts who will arise once the **** hits the fan in the US (the economic collapse). The coming situation is to bring the North American Union and the Amero, not depopulation. Once again: People need to remain REASONABLE in the time ahead. |

Re: US Dollar is DEAD! From Congress!
The dollar is dead but not yet pegged. From what I have read, economist are looking for the dollar to peg after the election, assuming one happens. The economist's best guess is that the pegging will come from "our friends" the Arab Emirates. They will call the chicks home. Call in all the treasury bills and bad debts federal government has sold to finance war.
Two months ago, Comex, on the NYSE bought out Globex on the Chicago exchange. Comex has always been paper shares for gold. When you buy from Globex, you actually buy gold. With the takeover of Globex by Comex, for the first time in ten thousand years of human history, gold is not the standard for currency. Let that sink in. It is monumentous in its implications. For the first time in recorded history, we have no money. Everything we are exchanging right now is fiat. It is all pure pieces of paper. Nothing but paper. The good new is, for the first time in history, we have the opportunity to create a new system of exchange. It is not the one the NWO has in mind because their model is based on the old system of exchange. When wall street co-opted Globex, they did not just cut off our commodity market at the knees, they cut THEIR commodity market off at the head. I realized these people are not only desperate but are truly, incredibly stupid. And they run the market! They had not counted on destroying their own commodities in an attempt to keep commodities from the private sector which they hate. Now they have nothing to hoard. They will sink on the same ship with the rest of us. The good news is, there are already several state mints being developed. It will be interesting what types of exchange we are going to develop in the future, because paper money has obviously had it's day and is a passing thing. There are two things comprising the current paradigm shift in the world that will finally eject us from perpetual puberty to an adult species. I call them the two E's: Energy and Exchange. The old ones are dead. What we are feeling right now is the end of a paradigm. Time to enter the galactic neighborhood, but not without a few bumps. hee. Love and Peace. Greg |
