About the "New" Color U.S. Currency
Okay, I am officially freaked out...
http://www.gold-eagle.com/gold_digest_02/droke042102.html

This was written before the peachy $20 bills appeared, but
the more I am researching this topic, the more convinced
that TPTB will seal their takeover with a currency switch, finalizing
complete domination over the people in this country.
Has anyone else researched this topic?

"In a shocking revelation, the U.S. Treasury has announced
it will soon issue a new paper currency. The Wall Street
Journal of March 19 reported that the Treasury will
maintain the design of the old currency but will introduce
"subtle colors." This announcement coincides with the
dollar near all-time record strength against a basket of
other major international currencies. So what does this
portend for the future of the U.S. Dollar? Devaluation!
There can be no other explanation for the introduction of
a colored currency, which will represent a bifurcated
dollar policy of a domestic-use-only dollar for Americans
and a foreign dollar overseas. The U.S. version of the
currency would be valid only within U.S. borders. It also is
a rather convenient way of driving out hoarded cash
from among U.S. citizens who try to circumvent the
banking establishment."

"When run through a scanner utilized in processing checks by a
bank, it reveals a hidden code number which allows
cash to be traceable. Comments Lawrence Patterson of
Criminal Politics magazine, "There has been more
manipulation of the money than you can imagineâ€|"
The colored money is due out in 12 months or so
according to the WSJ, but may be introduced sooner.
Advises Patterson, "Convert cash hordes in advances or
lose it!"

MUCH MORE...

3. Tin foil for all-
You might want to tell Ron Paul and the
Washington Post reporters who wrote about this
topic ten years ago to get some tin foil too.

Excerpt from Ron Paul report:

"For some years, Insiders have also advocated a parallel currency for
domestic and foreign uses distinguished by different colors. I believe
this plan is in the works as well It would require, in totalitarian
fashion, that any American dollars would have to be exchanged when the
border is crossed. U.S. dollars acquired overseas would have to be
converted to the domestic version to make them valid.

About 70 percent of U.S. currency is held overseas, all over the globe.
All of this would have to be traded in. Even if the switch did not occur
quickly, the government would be willing to put out the message that
dollars should be replaced sooner rather than later. Eventually, the
currency that could not be laundered into approved channels would be
rendered worthless. This alone could be enough to give the markets a jolt
and shake the confidence of future dollar holders.


From Cash to Cashless

The final uncertainty concerns the extent of changes in the currency. It
is technologically possible and financially feasible for the government
to give all bills machine-readable strips. Then the currency could carry
a record of where it has been. It is a small step from computerized paper
money to a completely cashless society. Welfare recipients in several
states already get their doles through a machine-readable card. If the
government has its way, all of us would be subjected to the same form of
financial and economic slavery.

4. Relax....
this article is a couple of years old, and the new money is out.

It would be possible for the government to revalue the dollar and recall old currency, but not easy while the two currencies are out there simultaneously. A major revaluation would be pretty drastic, and I can't see even these assholes in power now doing it, barring a major econimc collapse.

Eventually, the old bills could be recalled, but there will be enough time allowed to do it without major interruption. The biggest losers in a currency recall would be people holding unconverted drug dollars, or other subterranean holders-- like foreign dictators friendly to us. Or Russian mobsters.

5. Check out
http://www.wheresgeorge.com

And no, the answer is not "On Vacation. Again." If you are worried about cash being traced, use only small bills and shop only at small Mom and Pop stores. You will evade the black helicopters AND be a positive force against McWalBucks DepotMart.

6. Yes
TreasonousBastard I agree one hundred percent. With the new currency out, has anybody seen a revaluation of the dollar or people overseas having to rush to exchange their currency? I sure haven't.
