Might a New Global Currency be Good for the USA?

[He Who Pawns]

We all know that the dollar is headed for the biggest crash since the Hindenburg. So actually, wouldn't we be making out like bandits if the world gave us a 1-to-1 exchange (at current levels) on some new global currency backed by a basket of currencies?

If this new currency did come into effect, wouldn't this prevent the massive and continuing expansion of the US Federal Government, as well as the warmongering? They could no longer print the trillions needed to expand their government powers and grab our freedom.

Schiff was saying something like this on Wednesday night. He doesn't really have a problem with the end of the dollar, although he thinks the obvious place we will end up, eventually, is back tied to gold.

Any thoughts on the possible positive ramifications of a global reserve currency? Maybe gold could be used an alternative without the heavy hand of the US government thugs trying to block competing gold currencies?

The US decides what currency the US wants to use.

Any corporation or independent investor who declares otherwise and acts to "intentionally erode the value of the USD" will have his/her assets seized for the Common Good.

We could not get a 1:1 exchange, there are too many dollars.


I dont have a problem with a world currency, infact I dont even care about the idea of a world government. I think they will be very good one day. BUT Not Now. The world isnt ready for a world governemt. If one came to power now it would be a tyranny.

NO... wait wrong answer.....

Well actually, I bet the Chinese and others WOULD back a 1:1 exchange, if it meant permanently ditching the dollar as the global reserve.

We are in a strong position... NOW. Two years from now, we might be wishing for that 1:1 exchange if the dollar collapses the way Dr Paul and Schiff think it will.

Do you wonder why Schiff actually doesn't seem to have a problem with a new reserve currency? Ask yourself that.

Can you show us an article showing where he wants a world currency?

LOL, as I was reading your question the song "Dragostea din tei" started playing as the next song on my playlist. I saw Schiff in your avatar and it looked like he was singing the song

So im going to go with, he doesnt have a problem with a new reserve currency because he is too busy singing in your avatar Lol

Around the 5-minute mark.

He says the new global reserve currency "would probably be better" than the dollar, but of course he would prefer gold.

Not since I figured out that he has ties to the Masons.

Okay let me put together a video and post it on youtube. It'll take a little time. He said it on his latest radio show, and maybe in his latest vblog. Let me look into it.

Remember though, we are against a world currency if it's regulated by a central bank. If GOLD, as a commodity, is the world currency, we would support it.

Gold = Good
Central Banks = Bad

Peter Schiff is talking about replacing the dollar as the world's reserve currency with a basket of currencies.

This of course will destroy the dollar.

Well what they are talking about is a currency backed by a "basket" of the world's top currencies, like the Dollar, Swiss Franc, Yen, RMB, etc.

Well the dollar will be destroyed sooner or later. Why not get out of it now, while we can? Dr Paul, Schiff, every Austrian in the world knows the Dollar is toast.

Therefore, I'm against the IMF's Global Currency. I'm against any Fiat currency system.

Lets make Gold backed dollars the new currency.

I know, however I want States to start to plan their own currencies backed by gold. Every state needs a plan in place to quickly get a new currency to the populace once the currency dies. This way order will be restored quickly and the FED will lose all of it's power.

All states need alternate currency plans ready, so that a dollar collapse can be overcome quickly. States need to protect their citizens. And maybe we can undermine and destroy the FED.

Sure that's what we would all like. But it doesn't seem to be happening.

A reserve currency isn't the same thing as a world currency, in the sense that all nations do away with their current currencies and all nations except only ONE currency.
