Will the 'Amero' Replace the U.S. Dollar?
(SALEM, Ore.) - Ignorance is a silent killer, and it appears that the U.S. government along with Mexico and Canada, may be as stealthy as Jack the Ripper when it comes to the proposed North American Union Free Trade Agreement. That may be a severe assessment, but when it comes to the end of the American dream, people get a little punchy.
Lou Dobbs of CNN calls it, "A proposal for an expanded so-called free trade zone from Alaska to the tip of South America." He says it is not a government program, instead it is formed by international corporations who according to some sources, have seen a 45% increase in profits overall in the last five years, while the American workforce has seen a 3% increase overall.
"Its a plan from the business elites, the political elites that will cost more American jobs, cost American sovereignty, but it would fulfill the President's father's vision."
Dobbs is referring to a period of time in the late 80's and early 90's when George H.W. Bush was in office, and a single world government was touted frequently.
While in office, President Bush described plans for his futuristic notion by saying, "It is a big idea; a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause."
The plan involves many things, but the overall idea is to loosen trade regulations between the Canada, the U.S., Mexico and apparently some other countries as well.
The replacement for the dollar would be called "the Amero" according to reports, and the pact between the nations could resemble the borderless European Union.
I can tell you that several points of this article have been confirmed and while I know some may dismiss it, the idea seems like something we should be paying close attention to.
Parties involved include the Council on Foreign Relations, a number of politicians and national governments and several big players in international business.
I.D. chip implants?
A reporter with securityfocus.com, Scott Ganneman, reported in June 2003 that Applied Digital Solutions had designed an RFID tag - called the VeriChip - for people.
"Only 11 mm long, it is designed to go under the skin, where it can be read from four feet away. They sell it as a great way to keep track of children, Alzheimer's patients in danger of wandering, and anyone else with a medical disability, but it gives me the creeps. The possibilities are scary."
He cited an event that year when delegates to the Chinese Communist Party Congress were required to wear an RFID-equipped badge at all times so their movements could be tracked and recorded. Is there any doubt that, in a few years, those badges will be replaced by VeriChip-like devices?
Apparently the prices for the chips have dropped since 2003, when they reportedly cost fifty cents each to produce. It is predicted that when the price drops to a nickel they will start showing up in all kinds of products.
Reality check
Back in Oregon, coin and currency expert Monte Mensing of Monte's Coins in Stayton, says he does not see the George H.W. Bush plan making any immediate progress in the current political climate. He recognizes that the current President would certainly play ball with the issue, but doubts the reality of the plan taking hold.
"The United States has never demonetized its currency since the beginning. The Mexican government devalued the peso in 1992, that is the only thing making their economy work today. The Canadian politicians probably doesn't want to get tangled up with U.S. policy, so I don't see it happening," Mensing said.
Bush would do it but both Clinton and Obama are backing off NATFA right now and citing several criticisms.
It is noteworthy to recognize that Lou Dobbs is one of if not the only mainstream journalist in the United States to deliver this information. The video of Dobbs below, courtesy of MySpace and CNN, delves into some of the details surrounding this "zeitgeist" that seems to be off the radar of far too many individuals and reporting entities.

This next video from YouTube has an even more sinister take on this so-called "one world government", the "RFID Chip" and also specifically talks about the "Amero" which would be the new replacement for the dollar and peso. We were unable to define the originating source of this piece:
