I'm not so sure about your analysis of the situation prior to the Euro launch. from what I remember, and I was in Europe during the switchover, the currencies stayed more or less where they were as everyone knew the Euro was coming years in advance. It's not as if they had to trick anyone into doing, it was voluntary. I personally wouldn't mind seeing it here, along with true open borders like the rest of the continent have.

Prior to the introduction of the euro, £1=3DM. It stayed the same right up until the end of the Deutsche Mark.

They pegged each native currency to the value of the euro, then had them running side by side for 18 months to allow for a gradual change.

At no point, not once, do I remember the currencies "collapsing", as you state.

The Dow Industrials closed up yesterday and it is up nearly 300 today so far.

If there were an ATS award for sensationalism threads like this would be a shoe in.

OP Original Source.
The dollar hovered near record lows on Monday, with one euro worth around $1.58 versus $1.47 a month ago.


So?????????

This whole end of the dollar nonsense is based on this from the OP article.

We survived Carter. This will be a cakewalk in comparison. I hope the Prozac crowd does not create a fake run on banks. Think twice before you vote for Obama who may be another Carter in disguise.

The panic is coming from people who through their own stupidity took out mortgages they could not afford and ran up debt to buy things they did not need and now they will suffer a little pain for their own actions. People with common sense will suffer slightly, but life will go on. Life in America is pretty damn good and will remain so.

Sleuth a star for you The first thing I noticed upon opening this thread is how gleeful the OP is about the subject. I guess there are those that hate the USA so much, (and some that are envious), that they are willing to see all citizens of that country suffer, or get some sort of misguided pleasure from the bad news of others (some people are just so unhappy in their own lives, they get entertainment and happiness from it).

We are not going to sink to depression, the dollar is not 'done', and the USA will always continue ,no matter how many doomsdayers pray it to be otherwise.

We may hit rough times in the US from time to time, but like in the past- we'll get through it with our hard work and determination.

WELCOME TO THE NWO!!!

All this was planned from a while back, none of it is an "accident". They (illuminates, freemasonry, etc...) knew what they were doing for decades. Few reasons why I'm stating this. We all know that US is pushing for NAU, and for this to fully start happening the "dollar" needs to be replaced by "amero" and no one wants to do this as this will give US ultimate control over North America (US, Canad, Mexico) financial economy. So their forcing this to happen by making "dollar" worthless, this is where they will propose to us all that we need to buy Amero stock otherwise everything you own will become worthless as it was bought by "dollar", they will claim this is the ONLY way to fix this problem.

Now how does NAU and all this fit in the NWO! To accomplish this they need to get rid of "middle class", which will leave us with 95% (poor) population and 5% (rich). The richer will get richer and the middle class become poorer (among the already poor people). Technically they are doing what our civilization history teach us, that there always are few people in power and the rest "slaves", this dates thousands years back in our history.

With the 5% in control they can do what ever they want, print as much money as they want, increase food prices, gas prices, etc... and the rest of us slaving away just so that we can feed our families. Many will have to join Army, policing agencies as it is a "guarantee" job, only way to fee your family. On the bright side, they will introduce other technologies, such as "free energy", etc.. which has been held from public for many years, since money will not become an issue anymore, there will be no need to use/sell oil. This will make North America completely independent from middle east.

Eventually NAU, and EU will dictate 2/3 of the world. All they need is to cut the other 1/3 out (either by cutting import/export or/and start a war) and well these few men in power will own the entire world in their hand. Our government is simply run by Private Business men, their ONLY interest is for them to succeed.... it's a sad, dark future coming and yet we're sitting around with thumb up our bums. How much more evidence do we need before it's too late!

SOLUTION:

- For all the "logical" people; our population will be divided in couple of groups (already happening) where we got the "non-resisters" (live in denial and ignore all fact as it jeopardies their comfort zone) and the "resisters" which most likely gather up and fight the army (enforcers/protectors of the rich). After many years of long battle this many create the scenario where all the "ants" beat the 'grasshoppers"! And so we start rebuilding our world from broken peaces left behind.

- For all the "believers"; Many people that there is something changing in our world an unseen/unmeasurable force (time/4th dimension). Lot of things point to 2012 and so called "the end of time" (not end of world, just end of time as we know it). With more and more UFO sightings over the last couple of years suggest a major sighting may occur i near future, if so many people perception on life and our world will change, this change in our consciousnesses can unite majority and upon this most of the war/hate might come to an end as we realize/learn many more new ideas about our universe and so we start our exploration of the universe.

Perhaps this is why you don't fully appreciate the situation nor understand what the experts are saying. I have traveled abroad and I have family in various places overseas. It is SERIOUS, especially for those living in the States but it will effect other countries as well.

Unless you buy G.W. Bush's "everything is fine, just a little rough patch" folksy rhetoric in which case you won't see what is about to hit you.

dollar still good in mexico...




Oh Miller...that's not saying an awful lot now is it.

Exactly!

I'm an American and I have no illusions about this nor am I blindly holding on to the hope that our currency will rebound. I certainly don't believe all other nations are celebrating our impending disaster. I'm no nationalist I am a realist.

Here is what I believe:

The dollar will die as planned.

The States will fall into turmoil (a major terror strike would be another way to exacerbate this inevitability and is probably already in the works) and we will slowly combine with Canada and Mexico but still it will be made clear that we need more assistance.

The EU will bail the combined North America out of the chaos only as a part of itself.
No more Constitution as a new draft that relates to the new union will be created.

We become one.

Then we will become history.

I don't mean the written down kind.
The dollar will die just as most of mankind.

Peace.

- Lee

Dear Sleuth,
Try not to be too disheartened, there are many of us over here that have a great deal of sympathy for you all, as we too have a Government that treats us with contempt and does all manner of iniquitous things in our name without consent too.
I sincerely hope the Dollar survives and wish the American People nothing but the best. We both need not only a change of Government but many of our Politicians need to be brought to Justice, or nothing will change for the better, ever!
God bless you all,
Horsegiver.

Today it probably rose due to the Fed's actions. I wouldn't take a few days worth of market data as indicative. Look at the longer trend:
