The Amero: Bullion Coins of the Union of North America

I thought this would be an appropriate post on the day the G-20 meet to discuss a possible new world financial order.
The North American Union is a supranational organization, modeled on the European Union, that will soon fuse Canada, the United States, and Mexico into a single economic and political unit. The details are still being worked out by the countries' leaders, but the NAU's central governing body will have the power to nullify the laws of its member states. Goods and people will flow among the three countries unimpeded, aided by a network of continent-girdling superhighways. The US and Canadian dollars, along with the peso, will be phased out and replaced by a common North American currency called the amero.
If you haven't heard about the NAU, that may be because its plotters have succeeded in keeping it secret. Republican presidential candidate and Texas congressman Ron Paul has made the North American Union one of his central issues. Paul's fellow Republican congressman Virgil Goode introduced a congressional resolution early this year to block the creation of the NAU and the "NAFTA Superhighway System."
The idea for a North American currency union was first proposed in 1999 by Canadian economist Herbert G. Grubel.[1] A senior fellow of the conservative Fraser Institute think-tank, he published a book titled The Case for the Amero in September 1999, the year that the euro became a virtual currency. Another Canadian think-tank, the C.D. Howe Institute, advocates the creation of a shared currency between Canada and the United States.
After the report came out, center-left nationalist groups in Canada expressed their opposition to any currency union because they view it as an attempt by American businesses to gain access to Canada's extensive natural resources while dismantling the nation's social services. The 100,000 member strong Council of Canadians, a progressive advocacy group, has declared one of its central issues to be the threat of "deep integration".
Dr. Robert Pastor, in a 2001 book, suggested a common currency should be a foundation of "macro economic cooperation" among the three NAFTA countries.
One argument is that it would save up to $3 billion in currency transactions. The same authors also stated that Canada's GDP could rise by up to 33 percent in a 20-year period given the adoption of a single currency.
The idea of a common currency has historically been unpopular in English speaking Canada, in comparison to the province of Quebec where it has received more support. A 2001 opinion poll found that in Quebec over 50 percent of respondents favored the idea of a shared currency, while in the rest of Canada a majority of respondents opposed the idea.
The possibility of a monetary merger has also been discussed in Mexico as a natural step to take after NAFTA.[10] Former Mexican president Vicente Fox echoed that view and expressed his hope for a greater integration of Canada, Mexico and the United States, including an eventual monetary union, whilst on a 2007 promotional tour for his book "Revolution of Hope."
Lou Dobbs, a reporter and commentator for CNN, has suggested a "North American Union" is being implemented, without the knowledge and consent of the majority of the people who would be affected by this. This Union, he and others claim, would include a common currency.

Nullify the laws of its member states?? Hmmm.... thought the Constitution limited powers to the US government, and protected state's rights. But then again.... the Constitution IS just a piece of paper... and seems to mean less all the time in this day and age....

The "Bill of Rights" will be renamed the "Bill of Lefts" after the social-democrats modify it.

Forget about riots, civil wars looks more likely in our future.
If you need to see the battle lines, they've already been drawn.
Just take a look at the 2008 voting map that shows it by county.
The deliniation is clear.
I don't believe the media has yet got a clue to the offended rage that is brewing.

<< <i>Mr. Deadhorse, will I be ok in California if there is a civil war? We Californians are tough like you Texans right??? >>
You guys will surrender before we get to you.
OTOH, there are lots of good people in Cali that still believe in the Constitution.
Just need to remove Southern Cal and your politicians and we'll all be better off.
