  1. The world is run by crazy people – Mo from Oak Lake MB being one of the craziest.
    Question: Seeing as Politicians often have integrity ratings below that of used car salesmen, why do some people want expanded roles for gov’t in our economy? With Politicians and their Hacks (mis)managing it, of couse.

  2. There already is a global currency. It’s called gold, and I’d rather own it than a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar any day.

  3. Replacing the dollar with a UN regulated currency means setting up a whole global regulatory structure; another massive UN power grab and one giant step closer to world government.
    Imagine this coupled with a UN regulated international cap’n tax system.
    Strong, Soros, and every transnational socialist must be wetting themselves with anticipation.

  4. There’s a few things missing from Ron Bailey’s otherwise useful record of Strong. He doesn’t mention that Strong had just left Ontario Hydro, after being asked to take it over as Chair and CEO by Bob Rae in 1993. Strong naturally ruined the crown corp through utterly incompetent layoff packages in which Ontario Hydro lost much of its senior engineering and technical talent.
    What Ron also doesn’t mention is that Strong became a dollar-a-year man. This was not mere generosity. Strong was vigorously campaigning for Sec. Gen. of the UN in the early 1990s. He didn’t collect a salary, but he got to unload all of his UN campaigning expense costs on OH (lots and lots in foreign travel, naturally).
    Unpleasantly, the article is a bit dated, as it doesn’t mention Strong’s great adventures in the oil for food scandal.

  5. > Strong, Soros, and every transnational socialist must be wetting themselves with anticipation.
    Why are you allowing them to continue???

  6. Well this is so logical I think we should put the UN in charge of Food Production.
    It worked so well for the Soviets.

    But I likes eatin’!!!
    And money for that matter.

  8. Rwanda. Oil-for-food. 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. generation Palestinian “refugees.” The list goes on.
    Frankly, I have wanted Canada to pull out of the U.N. for several years now. I don’t see why it has become the gold standard in so many peoples’ mind in terms of legitimizing any kind of trans-national activity. The U.N. is inept at best, corrupt at worst, at least when it comes to issues that matter.

  9. Yeah, remember those crazies at the John Birch Society and that, who warned that the UN was trying to set up a One World Government and stuff?
    Boy, good thing William F. Buckley kicked THOSE nuts out of the conservative movement, huh?
    Phew.

  10. My pick for a global currency is Gold-Pressed Latinum. Like most UN ideas, Latinum is out of this world.

  11. Well sure, if we just get those evil Americans out of the way, the world would be a 24 hour picnic.

  12. “Replacing the dollar with an artificial currency would solve some of the problems related to the potential of countries running large deficits and would help stability,” said Detlef Kotte”
    But we all ready have an artificial currency.It’s called Monopoly money.Maybe they should call it “Dictator Dollars”???? Only 150 billion needed to buy the wheelbarrow to take the 10 billion to your local non-stocked store to buy the loaf of bread. 80% of the world’s problems could be solved by leveling the buildings at Turtle Bay, and sending the occupants to Darfur.

  13. The US has mismanaged the US dollar for many years now and other countries are rightly worried that they will be paid back with money that preserves their purchassing power. The fact that the US dollar is the reserve currency in the first place came out of the crisis in the early 70’s where Nixon closed the gold window. Now we have another monetary crisis and it is only logical to think that the status quo will not be allowed to continue much longer. The problem is the fix could make things much worse. The only true solution is to tie the value of money to something tangible to prevent future monetary crises from happening in the first place.

  14. Zimbabwe needs some competition for the highest denomination bill at 250 million. Currently worth more as a collector’s item than as currency. If memory serves it’s worth about 20 bucks.

  15. Let’s all hope that the UN figures prominently in Count Igula’s upcoming campaign. If (when?) the US dollar tanks, because it is no longer used for settlement of oil transactions, we Canadians will be heating our homes with dried bovine dung, and living off a diet of Beaufort fishery products, brought in by dogsled every day. The Toronto Star, CBC, and CTV will make sure Canadians are fully informed about how the decline in Obama’s currency is going to affect our lifestyle here in Canada. As a matter of conditioning and preparing for this glorious new future, I am going without any Californian fruits or vegetables for the entire day. But I am left to wonder how those Torontonians are going to keep their sanity, and their preventative health diets (so they don’t have to face the public health system) intact when their beloved Caesar salads cannot be had for less than twenty-five loonies.

  16. I wouldn’t blame anybody for ditching the dollar right now. Not a soul. Even the Chinese who stupidly accumulated vast numbers of them based on some kind of magical thinking about infinity and American growth prospects.

  17. One of the pillars of individual freedom is that power and authority be pushed down to the lowest level that is workable. Nations shouldn’t do what provinces can reasonably take on. Provinces shouldn’t do what cities or towns can handle. And so on.
    The reason is that should a government entity become poorly run or despotic, people can vote with their feet. It’s easy to flee a city (one might not even have to give up one’s job), not difficult to flee a province, but very difficult to move to another country. And of course it’s impossible to escape the world.
    Socialists invariably want to do the opposite. They want to consolidate power at as high of a level as possible. Indeed nothing excites socialists more than the idea of a world government.
    In my view this greatly increases the risk of totalitarianism and intractable incompetence. It makes escape for the individual impossible, which in my more paranoid moments I suspect is the real purpose of global governance.

  18. Should I spend my first billion on a pack of gum or a box of Tic-Tacs? Decisions. Decisions.

  19. Yeah, but once we get the one world government, we can ally ourselves with Vulcan and the Romulans.
    Then Taliban Jack will be able to wear his Star Trek uniform with pride.

  20. As Gomer Pyle once observered; “Well surprise, surprise, surprise”
    Chairman Mo a friend of Saint Al, who’d have thought such a thing? The two of them partners in one of the greatest scams the world has ever witnessed? Nah, couldn’t be
    Of course, most rank and file members of Liarberal party don’t even know (or claim not to know) who Chairman Mo is. I always respond with “he’s the only one who’s say really matters in the liberal party of Canada”
    Now they want to have a single currency. One starts to think that all of the current economic situation has been authored by Soros, Strong and the UN!

  21. SYF:
    I’m having nothing to do with those green-blooded freaks.
    Ah jeez, I hope Jennifer Lynch didn’t read that.

  22. Ah shucks another right-wing extremist prediction coming true.
    Crazy right-wingers and their accurate predictions of socialist tactics. LOL

  23. “and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

  24. You ask the retorical question as to who the hell is Maurice Strong?
    It may pay you to spend a few minutes tracing the connections of Paul Desmarais and Power Corp. to the leading politicians, etc. of Canada. This association explains the Kyoto pact:
    JOHN RAE: leading strategist for Prime Minister Chretien’s election campaign. Was Executive Vice- President of Power Corp. and Paul Desmarais’ right- hand man. His brother is….
    BOB RAE: ex-NDP [Socialist] Premier of Ontario, who appointed….
    MAURICE STRONG (his god father)to the chairmanship of Ontario Hydro, which he proceeded to dramatically cut in both skilled human resources and generating capacity [to provide a future need for power from James Bay] Past CEO of Desmarais’ Power Corp., Strong received an appointment to the UN as senior environmental advisor to the UN Secretary-General and Chairman of the Earth Council. HE was responsible for the Kyoto accords. More on Moe Strong: http://www.afn.org/~govern/strong.html
    PAUL MARTIN: current federal Finance Minister. Rose through the ranks at Power Corp., mentored by Paul Desmarais. Bought Canada Steamship Lines from him. Ran against Chretien for Liberal Party leadership.
    JEAN CHRETIEN: Prime Minister. Daughter, France, is married to Andre Desmarais, son of Paul Desmarais, chairman of Power Corporation. Chretien’s “advisor, counsellor and strategist” for the past 30 years has been …
    MITCHELL SHARP, who brought Chretien into politics when he was Finance Minister. Sharp has been, since 1981, Vice-Chairman for North America of the corporate globalist Tri-Lateral Commission.
    DANIEL JOHNSON: Liberal [and Opposition] leader in Quebec Rose through the ranks of Power Corp. Key in delivering federal spending to Quebec based Power Corp. and other corporate welfare cases in the province
    BRIAN MULRONEY: ex-Conservative Prime Minister. Now a lawyer and lobbyist for Power Corporation which, together with Ontario Hydro and Hydro Quebec, has just formed the Hong Kong-based ASIA POWER CORP., to help China to develop its energy potential. Power Corp.’s legal interests in Asia will be handled by a Hong Kong branch of Mulroney’s Montreal law firm, Olgilvy, Renault.
    PIERRE TRUDEAU: past PM and former Power Corp. lawyer. Introduced into the company by his father who had business connections to Desmarais. PET signed over millions to Power Corp. under federal grant programs. Desmarais funded his election campaign.
    So…we have the CONSERVATIVE party [via Mulroney], the LIBERAL party [via Trudeau and Chretien], and the NDP [via Rae] all tightly connected to….Paul Desmarais and Power Corp. And we have the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister, and the Prime Minister’s key aide all tightly connected to….Paul Desmarais and Power Corp.
    We now see the Power Corp. key alumnus in the UN Kyoto deal which so coincidentally benefits the (largely unpublicized) business interests of Desmarais alumnus. Maurice Strong has now joined Brian Mulroney and Paul Desmarais in investing in the Asia Power Group’s $100 million venture capital in “small coal-fired power plants being built in the south of China”. They are also looking at “larger projects in northern China, as well as in Malaysia, the Philippines and India.” The Asian economies are expected to spend $1 trillion [US] on essential infrastructure, of which an estimated $400 billion [US] will be on power generation. Chinese and Asian labour costs are low – as low, in China, as $45 per month – and potential profits are enormous.
    The Nov/Dec. 1993 issue of Council on Foreign Relations’ publication FOREIGN RELATIONS contains an article, THE RISE OF CHINA, in which we are warned that China will begin to use more energy than the United States within a few decades, massively straining the world’s energy supplies. If you were a power company investment magnet where would you place your future fortunes? In a nation wracked with environmental paranoia or a developing, unregulated energy hungry industrial giant? China is gearing up to be the world’s dominant manufacturing power. Most of China’s energy comes from the burning
    of soft, high-sulphur, highly- polluting coal. In 1991 alone, 11 trillion cubic meters of waste gases and sixteen million tons of soot were emitted into the atmosphere over China – and it has only just begun its long process of increased energy generation! The sulphur in this coal causes acid rain. The burning of the coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the most efficient “greenhouse gas” in the global warming process.
    There are indications that Strong , Desmarais and their cronies (under ghost corporate affiliates) are behind the current rash of buying of low grade coal mines in depressed nations to fuel these projects. But this is yet to be fully substantiated. Who would invest so massively in low grade coal when it was targeted as Kyoto taboo commodity?
    Maybe someone who knew in advance they would be able to burn it with out regulation in China? Green house fears bottomed out the price of these coal purchases. If it can be used for power generating fuel, you stand to have a very inexpensive fuel source. China continues to burn coal in it’s power production unregulated by Kyoto.
    Now the real hook. You remember Maurice Strong? Desmarais’ familiar and corporate confidante, ex Power boss, major investor in 3rd world coal fired energy enterprise? Well Maurice ended up appointed to the UN as head advisor to the UN Secretary-General on environmental affairs Is this irony? He was campaigned for that position by Canada’s PM’s and diplomats. As such, he called a little multi national conference called Kyoto! Maurice and his friend Jean Chretien wrote and signed an agreement which effectively will destroy their pal Desmarais’ chief energy competitor (Alberta Nat Gas) and gave Power Corp investment in China coal/energy an enormous competitive advantage.
    Anyone who thinks this as mere coincidence is unaware of the networking of international corporate elites. This revelation makes it clear the Kyoto earth summit was a vehicle used by corporate (Strong/Chretien) bag men to create a huge global shift in power generation profits. They were backed by one of the worlds most devious businessmen.
    Oh, and Paul Desmarais? In September, 1993, he joined the Tri-lateral Commission. He spearheaded the Tri-lat initiative of promoting a Kyoto-like conference over concerns for the planet from carbon emissions produced by the DEVELOPED NATIONS.
    And you thought it was all about saving the planet? For whom?

  25. America should kick the Ingrates out of the States. Than quit as we should as well.
    Time to take the trash out, & the United Nobody’s ought to be the first to go.

  26. Lately I have pondered who was the worst president of the last hundred years – Wilson was bad, as was lbj and Nixon certainly was flawed while jfk died before he could wreak even more international and domestic havoc.
    But despite getting a lot of credit for getting Americans into WW2 (in the Nick of time) FDRs legacy continues to do dama ge to the tune of trillions of dollars and millions of deaths. The welfare state was unbelievably bad but the UN – his and his wifes brainchild could actually destroy mankind if it keeps going on like it has lately.

  27. The Commonwealth countries and the US (less Obama) should abandon the UN and form a League of Free Nations or whatever and let this UN thing continue without us and see how long it lasts.
    Global warming/climate change or whatever they call it next week is nothing more than a reason for the UN to declare that the equivalent of the”League of Free Nations” defined above plus the EU distribute our wealth to the rest of the UN developing countries vast sums of our wealth to help them develop their economies’. Not once do they express concern about the devastating affect this would have on our own economies.
    They can all go to hell.
    Enough is enough.
