Ex-Mexican prez: Yes, there will be an amero Quote

Vicente Fox confirms long-term plan worked out with President Bush.

Ex-Mexican President Vicente Fox last night on CNN
In an interview last night on CNN's "Larry King Live," the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, confirmed the existence of a government plan to create the amero as a new regional currency to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican Peso.

It possibly was the first time a leader of Mexico, Canada or the U.S. openly confirmed a plan to create a regional currency. Fox explained the current regional trade agreement is intended to evolve into other previously hidden aspects of integration.

According to a transcript published by CNN, King, near the end of the broadcast, asked Fox a question e-mailed from a listener, a Ms. Gonzalez from Elizabeth, N.J.: "Mr. Fox, I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency?"

Fox answered in the affirmative, admitting he and President Bush had agreed to pursue the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas – a free-trade zone extending throughout the Western Hemisphere – and that part of the plan was to institute a regional currency from Canada to the tip of South America.

"Long term, very long term," he said. "What we proposed together, President Bush and myself, it's ALCA, which is a trade union for all the Americas."

ALCA is the acronym for the Area de Libre Comercio de las Américas, the name of the FTAA in Spanish.

Fox noted the FTAA plan had been thwarted by Hugo Chavez, the radical socialist president of Venezuela.

"Everything was running fluently until Hugo Chavez came," Fox commented. "He decided to combat the idea and destroy the idea."

King, evidently startled by Fox's revelation of the currency, asked pointedly, "It's going to be like the euro dollar, you mean?"

"Well, that would be long, long term," Fox repeated.

Fox then explained that he and Bush intended to proceed incrementally, establishing FTAA as an economic agreement first and waiting to create an amero-type currency later – a plan Fox also suggested was in place for NAFTA itself.

"I think the process to go, first step is trading agreement," Fox said. "And then further on, a new vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA."

Last week, WND reported BankIntroductions.com, a Canadian company that specializes in global banking strategies and currency consulting, is advising clients the amero may be the currency of North America within 10 years.

Coin designer Daniel Carr has issued for sale a series of private-issue fantasy pattern amero coins that have drawn attention on the Internet.

WND also reported the African Union is moving down the path of regional economic integration, with the African Central Bank planning to create the "Gold Mandela" as a single African continental currency by 2010.

The Council on Foreign Relations has supported regional and global currencies designed to replace nationally issued currencies.

In an article in the May/June issue of Foreign Affairs, entitled "The End of National Currency," CFR economist Benn Steil asserts the dollar is a temporary currency.

Steil concluded "countries should abandon monetary nationalism," moving to adopt regional currencies, on the road to a global "one world currency."

WND previously reported Steve Previs, a vice president at Jeffries International Ltd. in London, said the amero "is the proposed new currency for the North American Community which is being developed right now between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico."

A video clip of the CNBC interview in November with Jeffries is now available at YouTube.com.

WND also has reported a continued slide in the value of the dollar on world currency markets could set up conditions in which the adoption of the amero as a North American currency gains momentum.

About 10 years ago or so, I sold celtic crosses

5. WorldNet Daily is not a reliable source
It's a right-wing nutjob site, and I would want independent corroboration.

6.  Speaking on the Larry King show,

http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=49877
Los Angeles, CA (Oct. 10, 2007) -- Speaking on the Larry King show, former Mexican President Vicente Fox confirmed every assertion made by Jerome Corsi in his new book, NY Times bestseller "The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada" (WND Books, ISBNs 0-9790451-4-2, $25.95, July 2007). Not only did Fox admit that he and George W. Bush have "agreed" to create a common currency, the Amero, he contended that a North American Union is "inevitable" That’s something that Jerry Corsi takes issue with while applauding Fox’s openness on national television.


"At last we have public confirmation of the pernicious secret activity that’s been going on towards merging Mexico, Canada and the United States" declares Corsi, whose book became a bestseller shortly after publication. "Personally, I’d like to thank Vincente Fox. His candor about this merger is what’s going to stop it dead in its tracks"


Corsi continues, "Fox’s appearance with Larry King and, of all places, on The Daily Show constitutes the first time a leader of Mexico, Canada or the U.S. has openly confirmed a plan to create a regional currency called the Amero -- a plan I document in detail in ’The Late Great U.S.A.’" Fox went on to explain how current regional trade agreements between the United States and its hopelessly corrupt neighbor to the south are intended to evolve into other previously hidden aspects of North American integration.

10. Why are people scared of this? Is there really a fear of black helicopters?
The "FEMA camps" for Atheists during a Republican administration or Christians during a Democratic administration?

13. That's not quite what he's claiming.
Latin America is considering unifying its currency in the very long term. He also said that Mexico and America are considering further trade agreements. Nowhere does he claim that America and Mexico will unify their currencies.

15. oohhh boy
by the way, this falls under the best laid plans of mice and men

For multiple reasons I don't see this coming to pass

They are economic, and the backlash against NAFTA, CAFTA, et al...

And they are political

Oooh boy

Now on a realistic POV I can see why they were planning on this new world order... nations have reached the limits of growth, so nations are becoming obsolete as they are replaced by continental organizations

23. The New World Order Capitalists would love to merge
the USA, Mexico & Canada. A great boon for the Multi-Corps & the destruction of the Middle Class in all three countries. There would be The Working Poor & the Wealthfare Classes.

27. "...continental organizations."
Probably more like a couple of "Continental Mega-Corporations."

The corporatists are calling the shots.

22. With the Canadian dollar stronger than the U.S., and the Mexican peso weaker
I don't think we're going to be linking currencies with either neighbor anytime soon.

32. Predictability
Efficiency. It's about destroying diversity, but it's been going on for thousands of years. If you have one currency, business is much easier. If you have one language, time is saved. If you have one culture, everyone does everything the same way, and profit is easy.

This is the only possible outcome to centralization of political, social, and economic power. America wouldn't exist without this process, and America won't exist forever because of this process.

There is no conspiracy. It has to happen if we want all that we currently have. Roads exist because of this process. Schools exist because of this process. Governments exist because of this process. Corporations exist because of this process.

Since we're having all kinds of Presidential debates these days, those races work in the exact same way. You start out with 15 different people running, people donate to their favorite, eventually a couple will drop out, and the voters from those who dropped out need to go to their next favorite. That goes on and on, until we end up with that single candidate that everyone votes for. The other side goes through the same process, and we end up with two Presidential nominees. Then everyone votes between those two, and we then have a single President. We can't have two or three different Presidents at the same time. Just as in a global world, you can't continue having too many different currencies, or too many languages, or too many ways of life.
