Why is it that the only people who every seem to get caught up in the "one world currency" conspiracy/prophecy/end times thing are overwhelmingly Americans?

I'm convinced that this issue is more a reflection of a fear of losing global dominance in the face of another power - combined with the view that America is somehow anointed by God.

I've never heard anyone from Viet Nam voice an opinion one way or the other on this one...

If the world economys collapse, what will be left as the defacto standard?

The answer is the credit card.

There is no need for money when you have credit units. You just treat each world currency unit as an equal and then forget they ever existed.

If there is no government left standing in the world, if there is no bank left open, as long as the credit computers keep churning, a new financial standard will miraculously become instantly available, the credit!

People will have needs, small business will wish to function. This essential need combined with the expedience will establish the new international currency without as much as the need to ask, "What will we do now that the money is all worthless paper?"

Large institutions will be resistant and those which resist will fail. Individuals who have nothing to loose and everthing to gain by clinging to the credit card will survive. There will be hard times, very hard times as the economies scale back to less industrial levels of organization.

Unregulated by any government or institution the credit card companies will raise their rates and become the new world masters, drawing their new form of taxation as interest from every transaction.

There is nothing bad in a One World Order with all its institutions (World Bank, World Government, etc.) The only problem is how these will be managed and by who.

Right now the World Bank and other such institutions serve private corporations and western imperialism, once these are destroyed, the new order can serve all humanity.

A corrupt world order would be a disaster. Its like atomic energy. Pick your side. A world government can stop wars between nations, if all nations give up their armies in favour for a one world peace force.

It's a hard thing to push this reality, but we are headed into that direction nevertheless. But we have to change our life style before we can even think of a healthy society.

More bad will happen before good. The anti-christ might be the one who will clean this world for a better tomorrow.

This thread was made in 2004.

It is 2008 and everything written in the original post has seemingly come true.

Believe it or not, you're being taken on this ride.

One world currency like people to be on the same hip, not despots hyperinflationary their own economies. One world currency requires all governments to be in tune. Does this necessitate a world government? I prefer the thought that it would disintegrate, unless the central has control. Then it's back to 1984 and who is battling whom, and more obviously oppressing whom financially, for political favour.

China: One country, two systems but one party.
Freedom:One planet. Many currencies, and a plethora of opportunities.

There will be no one world currency. The bankers no longer trust one another. That is the cause of this madness.

Because of this mistrust among thievs, they can no longer trust their continued ability to pay each other back, or that the money the get back will be worth more than the amount loaned plus interest.

Unless there is a destructive purge of the thievs from the financial system, there will be no global economy left standing.

The wrecked nations will revert to military territoryalism to maintain what they can of a grasp on resources essential to isolationist survival at whatever levels they can.
