It’s looking like the conspiracy nuts were more prescient every day as the WSJ openly talks about a North American Currency and New World Order resulting from the economic crisis.
In a stunning piece in WSJ MarketWatch that reads like it’s straight out of one of the nut-job NWO sites, Todd Harrison declares "The New World Order is upon us, full of hope, promise and a fair amount of fear" and openly discusses topics and themes that were once only the stuff of survivalist wingnuts. Says Harrison:
"For years, the notion of an ‘invisible hand’ was conspiracy theory until we learned that the Working Group on Financial Markets was a central policy tool. And now, as we gaze across our historically significant horizon, we must open our minds to thoughts and ideas that may seem foreign to folks conditioned by the past and stunned by the present."
Continues the WSJ piece:
"Years ago, the Federal Reserve wrote a ‘solution paper’ regarding the need to combat zero-bound interest rates. The concern was the flight of capital from the U.S. and an option discussed was a two-tiered currency, one for U.S citizens and one for foreigners.
Canadian economist Herbert Grubel first introduced a potential manifestation of this concept in 1999. The North American Currency -- called the ‘Amero’ in select circles -- would effectively comingle the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar and Mexican peso.
On its face, while difficult to imagine, it makes intuitive sense. The ability to combine Canadian natural resources, American ingenuity and cheap Mexican labor would allow North America to compete better on a global stage."
Then, astoundingly, Harrison drops the coup de grace that has been a central tenant of NWO alarm-sounders for years:
"I've long contended that, much like the Internet prophecy proved true -- but not before the tech crash -- so too would globalization, albeit not without painful-yet-necessary debt destruction."
When main stream press starts sounding like survivalist NWO, Bilderberg, CFR, Trilateral alarmists, you know things are bad. And you start to wonder if some of these wackos weren’t on to something long before the rest of us.
