Did You Know the CFR Spawned a European Satan Child - the ECFR in 2007?


Editor, Charleston Voice, 01.29.15

Bet only a few have paid any more attention to this Child of Satan than we have.

But, here it is Europe getting its learning lessons and instructions from its big daddy in NY at 58 Pratt Street. Ordinarily, Rothschild money manager George Soros can be counted on to abort the young, but when it comes to the devil's infant, he gives it life! Brian Swint of Bloomberg News, May 7, 2007: Billionaire Plans Europe Version of Council on Foreign Relations Billionaire investor George Soros plans to start a foreign-affairs research institute in Europe similar to the Council on Foreign Relations:

"Europe has to be interested in recreating what used to be called the West, based on the principles of international cooperation," Mr. Soros said yesterday at a conference in Oxford, England. "Out of this idea came the idea of founding a European Council on Foreign Relations." Mr. Soros, who spent $27.5 million trying to defeat President Bush in the 2004 election, said America can't deal with global affairs on its own. If a leading Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Obama, wins the post in 2008, the U.S. may regain some of "the high ground," he said. Mr. Soros declined to say how much money he is spending on the project. It may start by the end of this year, he said. "Our resources are similar to the United States, but we punch pathetically below our weight," Timothy Garton Ash, a professor of European Studies at Oxford University who is helping Mr. Soros with the plans, said in an interview. "The idea is to contribute a European voice. It's still in the making."
Okay then Europe here you go. Start boning up on your own country's subversive representatives to the ECFR. Be alert to elements that weaken your sovereignties taking shape on your doorsteps. Of course, all reps, board members and staff are exclusively pro-Eurozone and its monetary unit. As in North America,  personal welfare, political careers and prestige come first. An open free market competitive culture certainly can't match what these immoral souls can steal from the people. These are the chief worshipers of the root of all evil, of all time.

With North America eventually coming under control, the Amero/NAU will amalgamate with Euro/EU becoming nearly the final step in the establishment of a one-world government under their control.

Shock: CNN Editorial Calls for a North American Union

CV readers aren’t shocked at this resurrection of establishing the NAU. CNN just moves it forward on the shelf positioning it for a closer reach, now imminent, for CNN’s corporatist slavemasters. 

And… Heidi of Goldman Sachs, and coincidentally the wife of Ted Cruz, might just be the foundress chosen to shackle our ankles into the advancing NWO!

You can now begin to see why it's vital to our survival as sovereign nations (Mexico, US, Canada) to nullify un-Constitutional elements within the US states before this NAU wave sweeps in, adding another layer of distant government and buttressing the Treason in DC. Be brave - dare call it a Conspiracy.

 Shock: CNN Editorial Calls for a North American Union

January 27, 2015

Why we need a North American Passport ... The future success of North America depends partly on how the U.S., Canada and Mexico work together ... The future of the United States lies in North America. This is not a geographic truism, but a strategic imperative. Generations of Americans, distracted by far-flung crises, have long taken our own region for granted. This must change if the 21st century is to be an American century. – CNN

Dominant Social Theme: It is very important for everyone to get together everywhere all the time.
Free-Market Analysis: Is the campaign for a North American Union officially underway with this editorial appearing in CNN?
Certainly conspiracy theorists might be justified in thinking so.

For years, more than a decade, some have suspected that powerful bureaucracies in North America – especially in Washington – might seek to combine Mexico, the US and Canada into a single super-state.

This was always greeted with howls of contempt by those in the mainstream media, especially in the liberal congregation, who knew better. There was no need, no possibility, that Canada, Mexico and the US would ever form a single trading – and perhaps political – union in the manner of the EU.

But here we go. Those derisive hoots are now drowned out by the reality of what this editorial proposes.

More:

The United States, Canada and Mexico are bound by a shared economic, environmental, demographic and cultural destiny. How we move forward together is key to our success.

In recognition of our shared destiny, the three countries should create a North American passport that would, over time, allow their citizens to travel, work, invest, learn and innovate anywhere in North America.

Work, tourist and student visas are necessities in the modern world to regulate the flow of people between sovereign states. In the North American context, much like within the European Union, our economies and societies are far more integrated than our immigration system recognizes – and a North American passport, much like the EU passport, would align our laws with reality.

Such a move would provide a dramatic break from Washington's historical negligence of its "near abroad," which stems from a rare luxury. In contrast to other major continental powers through the centuries, the United States has not had to worry much about its neighbors and devote the bulk of its military resources to protecting its borders.

... A North American passport would reflect the unique relationship and shared interests among our nations. In the face of growing competition from rising powers elsewhere in the world, simply taking our geography for granted and focusing our attention elsewhere is no longer a viable option.

One can see many dominant social themes in this editorial – and these are evident from the beginning: "The United States, Canada and Mexico are bound by a shared economic, environmental, demographic and cultural destiny."

Wait a minute. The United States, Canada and Mexico are lines on a map. These geographical regions are not bound by anything, let alone cultural destiny. Having stated this fallacious assumption, the editorial proclaims, "How we move forward is key to our success."

Why should lines on a map move "forward"? And why is moving forward the key to success for arbitrary geographical regions? This is simply language jumbled together to sound like a logical argument.

The editorial gets even worse, building on this nonsensical rhetoric to rewrite history in order to make a closing argument that the three governments in question ought to offer a single passport.

In making this argument, the editorial cites NAFTA, which it claims has been "a boon to our growth and competitiveness ..."

It continues: "But the promise of NAFTA has fallen short in a critical respect; while trade and investment have grown, the barriers to movement have remained too high for the people who help drive and stand to benefit from that growth.

Now we begin to understand the importance of NAFTA. Those who wanted a North American Union understood they would need a treaty, a series of treaties, to rationalize industrialization between Mexico and the US. Once this evening-out had been accomplished, the next argument could be made, which is that regulation must follow growth.

This is a tremendously cynical way of utilizing treaties and government. One creates the conditions one wants and then moves to regulate the new reality. 

US workers have remained angry over NAFTA and CAFTA, but these treaties were intended to provide the necessary justification to proclaim a larger NAU.

There are other manipulations that have taken place recently. The Bush administration and now the Obama administration have attempted to undermine US border security and to allow in as many Mexicans as possible.
US intel agencies have seemingly fueled an already violent drug war in Mexico, thus increasing pressure on Mexicans to seek employment in the US. Guns have been shipped to Mexico with US governmental complicity, apparently to heighten the violence. 

The "conspiracy" lies not with those (ourselves included) who have continually pointed out the surreptitious groundwork that has been laid to build the NAU. The conspiracy lies with those internationalists that continually push to expand and unite whole continents and more.

All around the world, "unions" are being proclaimed, often with the potential for new currencies. Surely, those who have as their goal a kind of hyper-globalism are the real conspirators here.

Conclusion: 
Directed history, anyone?

ECB to launch €1.1 trillion of quantitative easing

On one of these ECB monetary leaps of fiat faith the ECB will not have a bungee cord for its sovereign members. Maybe this time off the cliff is that monetary jump. Watch out below. Take a selfie for posterity. This will raise the curtain for the next planned "rescue"Act; entrance stage left: NAU and the Amero. Insurance policies with no "free look" period.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ECB to launch €1.1 trillion of quantitative easing


By buying eurozone governments’ bonds using electronically created money – so-called quantitative easing– the ECB hopes to shore up confidence, boost inflation, and drive down the value of the euro on foreign exchanges, helping to boost exports and kickstart growth.








Mario-Draghi
European Central Bank President and ex-Goldman Sachs Managing Director Mario Draghi.

Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, has announced that he will pump €1.1tn at a rate of €60bn a month into financial markets until September 2016, in an attempt to prevent the fragile eurozone economy from grinding to a halt.

In a keenly anticipated announcement at the ECB’s headquarters in Frankfurt, Draghi said the operation would continue, “until we see a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation”.

By buying eurozone governments’ bonds using electronically created money – so-called quantitative easing– the ECB hopes to shore up confidence, boost inflation, and drive down the value of the euro on foreign exchanges, helping to boost exports and kickstart growth.

The €60bn a month figure includes the purchases of private sector assets that the ECB had already begun to try to unlock credit markets.

Draghi said the decision on the ECB’s governing council was made with “so large a majority that no vote was necessary”.

The launch of QE is likely to infuriate Berlin, which views it as akin to a bailout for free-spending governments such as Greece. However, with average prices already falling across the eurozone, the ECB wants to avoid the threat of a deflationary spiral, in which consumers and businesses slash spending while they wait for prices to fall further, dragging the economy into a slump.

“While the sharp fall in oil prices over recent months remains the dominant factor driving current headline inflation, the potential for second-round effects on wage and price-setting has increased and could adversely affect medium-term price developments,” Draghi said.

In a concession to the Germans, Draghi promised that national central banks would bear most of the risk of their governments defaulting, with just 20% of the new bond-purchases subject to “risk-sharing”. In an aside that will be heard loud and clear in Athens, Draghi also warned that, “some additional eligibility criteria will be applied in the case of countries under an EU/IMF adjustment programme”. That could allow the ECB to exclude Greek bonds from QE if, for example, a future Syriza government ditched the austerity programme imposed by its creditors.
Syriza supporters in Athens greeted the exit polls with jubilation
 Draghi has promised to do “whatever it takes” to safeguard the single currency, and has repeatedly signalled in recent months that with eurozone inflation slipping well below the ECB’s 2% target, he felt more action was necessary. However, he stressed that QE alone would not repair the eurozone economy, and reforms by member-country governments would also be necessary.

“What monetary policy can do is to create the basis for growth, but for growth to pick up you need investment, for investment you need confidence, and for confidence you need structural reforms”. He urged governments urgently implement reforms, saying, “the more they do, the more effective our monetary policy will be.”

The ECB had already announced, in a statement earlier on Thursday, that it would leave its main interest rate unchanged at 0.05%.

The U.S. Dollar, the Amero and Gold

It's been awhile since our jailers have brought up the Amero. Somewhat more commentary on the SPP. But, anyway, it's not dead just comatose until needed while some more global housecleaning is ongoing by the NWO. 

With Heidi, wife of Ted Cruz heading the NAU group for Goldman Sachs  it's is a good bet, they're planning Ted Cruz (US citizen or not) to become our next president for a smoother transition to a globalist one world order.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





January 2015

The latest concern about proposed new North American Union currency (the "amero") was prompted by a major worldwide U.S. dollar sell-off which will soon accelerate as the U.S. prints trillions for bank bailouts.

Recently the dollar fell below the Canada's dollar, what's next?
Will the Mexican peso surpass the dollar too? Read on to find out...

The idea of a North American Union connecting Canada, the United States and Mexico into a super-regional political/economic entity has already sparked a firestorm of public concern.

"The Security and Prosperity Partnership is not just unconstitutional, but an act of treason committed at the highest levels, one that must be stopped before the U.S.A., as a free and sovereign nation fades into history," says Dr. Jerome Corsi.

While the mass media has ignored, laughed-off, or even ridiculed the negative impact of the dollar’s slide over the last five years, Americans are now growing concerned about the dollar's future. Especially when a prominent London investment banker urges CNBC viewers to move away from the dollar toward a new North American currency such as the "Amero".

financial"New World Financial Order" summit
The United States hosted a summit of the G-20 leaders to discuss the underlying causes of the credit crisis and start developing principles of global reform for financial regulators and institutions.

"France’s president Nicholas Sarkozy is trying to organize a New World Financial Order... based on something other than the dollar. Perhaps the biggest delusion of the financial world now is that the dollar... and dollar-based Treasury obligations... are a safe refuge. In an emergency, the government can always just print up the money. But that’s the problem. An emergency is coming," reports Daily Reckoning.

"Asian and European countries should banish the U.S. dollar from their direct trade relations, relying only on their own currencies, said a front-page commentary in the People's Daily. A meeting between Asian and European leaders in Beijing presents the perfect opportunity to begin building a new international financial order," reports Reuters.

"This crisis is global in reach -- and addressing it will require agreeing on common principles to reform regulators which is essential to preventing another disaster," President Bush recently announced. Question: How can the nations of the world agree on "common principles to reform" given the wide diversity of worldviews each nation represents? This global credit meltdown is pushing the U.S. toward an "New Financial World Order" which seeks to replace free market principles with socialistic principles.

goldAmericans fear supra-national government, as did our Founders
What might a national currency debasement do to your net worth, already shrinking due to declining home prices, a stock market meltdown and a rising cost of living?

According to a recent Merrill Lynch note to clients:
“We’re in the beginnings of a global readjustment that will end the dollar’s dominance as the “gold standard” currency for the world’s economies. The dollar is likely entering a long, slow decline - followed by a crash," reports Financial Times.

Forbes magazine reports: "Strong Dollar, Strong Currency" is more than a mantra... economic history indicates that no country has ever achieved greatness nor maintained it by debasing its currency."

The problem with modern money is that it does not constitute a store of value. The only two assets that are money, and cannot fail during a credit crisis, are silver and gold. All fiat currencies eventually collapse because they do not constitute a store of value.

According to Swiss America CEO Craig R. Smith: "One major reason for the dollars systematic decline is our snowballing debts and deficits. Today the U.S. borrows $2.5b a day from other nations! Devaluing the dollar is one of the ways the financial markets correct our rising U.S. debt and deficits."

The truth is, government at all levels (as well as individuals) must begin to get debt under control before we can ever expect the value of the dollar to strengthen substantially. In the meantime, Mr. Smith advises converting some dollars into "anti-dollars" -- gold -- while prices are still reasonable. Smart investors are diversifying out of dollars and into gold -- a trend experts expect to continue for many years. rmp

Published on Aug 13, 2012
Investigative journalist Jerome Corsi is interviewed by Howard Phillips and reveals how behind closed doors, the US government collaborates with the governments of Mexico and Canada to merge the three nations into one Socialist mega-state: the "North American Union" (NAU), also known as the "Security and Prosperity Partnership" (SPP).

Coins are a Nation's History & Heritage: Accept No Substitutes!

Posted by Charleston Voice, 06.19.12


Exclusively posted for our Canadian subscribers....all others must beg off.  

Canadians don't want their heritage and culture merged with the US any more than you want yours to meld with theirs. We share a common European French/English monarchist heritage, yes, but that commonality doesn't infer that we want to use the euro, too!  They may be fond of their neighbors to their South, but not want to be OF us. That dispute was settled by war in the 18th century.

Europeans are now coming to realize that as sovereigns they were motoring along at varying degrees of octane energy. But, still, their economies were in motion, and street strife and economic hardships were not the rule.

But by mind-twisting, political propagandizing, and monetary deception, their corrupt chosen leaders have placed them in the Eurozone, having poured sugar in their own gas tanks. 

Sovereign coins tell a nation's history. Don't surrender yours to substitutes.We don't want no freakin' Amero.

Collecting Canadian Coins

By Alan Herbert
June 15, 2012
Excerpted from Warman’s Coins and Paper Money, 5th Edition by Arlyn G. Sieber

When official coinage was finally struck by the various pre-confederation colonial provinces they had already recognized slightly different standards, sometimes as much as a 20 percent difference in value. The first coins struck in the name of Canada were produced by the Province of Canada. This was the collective name for Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec). Bronze cents and silver 5-cent, 10-cent, and 20-cent pieces were struck in 1858-1859. In the intervening years before these two provinces combined with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to form the independent Canadian confederation in 1867, all of them had struck their own coins. Despite this complexity of coinage, a shortage of small change still persisted. Neither bank tokens nor poorly made “blacksmith” counterfeits could be suppressed.

A golden idea to save (or doom) the euro - will Europeans Fall for It? - *video*

Posted by Charleston Voice, 06.09.12

Any monetary union, euro not excepted, can only prevail among states that have relinquished their sovereigns, cultures, and political beliefs to foreigners beyond their borders. Canada, the US and Mexico are approaching the NAU/Amero creation, a thalidomide child for taking political & monetary control of this continent for the same gangsters that are fomenting global and European unrest.

The US southern states have been there, done that over 140 years ago. Ongoing liberties and personal rights have been perpetually eradicated ever since by the central government and those local scalawags who have sold their souls to them in Washington.

Gold and silver as coins must circulate among the people and be exchanged freely without definition for goods and services, or saved as security. Any gold "standard", bullion or otherwise between governments is but a scam to retain precious metals in their own custody.

Furthermore, be aware that the UN-NATO soldiers and respective other government armies and sponsored mercenaries can be positioned rapidly to squash any separatist secession motions.

Greece and all other sovereign miscreants will be kept in the eurozone - by force of arms or political treachery...Charleston Voice

ROME — Gold is back in the news, big time, and not just because the price may be on the verge of another upswing or that Peter Munk is turning Barrick, the world's biggest gold company, into a CEO meat grinder. It's because Germany, it appears, wants to make gold the effective currency of the euro zone before the region plunges to the bottom of the seas like a concrete U-boat.

The weakest euro zone countries are tapped out financially and economically. But a few of them are brimming with gold reserves. Take Italy, the euro zone's third-largest economy.

The Italians love gold and it?s stashed everywhere, in their central bank and in their jewellery and safe deposit boxes. (I once saw a religious-festival parade of children in a mountain town, with each child groaning under the weight of heavy gold necklaces and other baubles). At last count, the central bank had 2,451 tonnes of gold, valued at close to US100-billion ($128-billion). That's not a fortune compared to Italy's 1.9-trillion national debt, but it?s not bad when Rome is raiding the pantry to pay its ever-rising debt.

Germany?s idea is coyly named the European Redemption Pact and it is nothing if not creative. While details are scant, here is roughly how this gilded baby would work.

Countries with debts greater than 60 per cent of gross domestic product ? the (ignored) limit under the European Union?s Maastricht Treaty ? would transfer those debts into a redemption fund, which would be covered by joint bonds. The scheme has been called ?euro bonds lite.?

Here?s the catch. Countries using the scheme (most would, including Germany, because of generally high debt-to-GDP ratios) would have to cover 20 per cent of their debt with collateral, payable in gold or currency reserves. Default on the payments and you lose your gold. The ?sinking? fund would retire the debt over 20 years.

Italy set the precedent in the 1970s, when it was in the midst of one of its blandly regular financing crises and resorted to a gold-backed loan. The loan was quickly paid off, because there was so much political pressure to do so. If the finance minister had forfeited the Italian family jewellery, the entire government would have been embarrassed and humiliated, then turfed from office.

There's a lot to like about the European Redemption Pact, politically and economically, and a lot not to like if you?re worried that this German-inspired fund is the mother of all potential loot grabs.

On the positive side, the gold bricks are piled up like Lego in central bank vaults. They are unpledged and devaluation-proof, meaning the gold-backed loans would be ultra-cheap probably 1 per cent. Politically, a gold-backed loan is defensible, in the sense that it's cheap.

The alternative is trying to flog sovereign bonds at crippling yields 5 to 7 per cent. That, in turn would mean ratcheting up the austerity programs in an attempt to restore enough investor confidence to bring yields down.

The downside, of course, is potential default, which would mean transferring a huge chunk of a country's hardest, most gorgeous assets and hence economic power out of the country.

You would have to presume, however, that any country would be ultra careful to make sure it gets the gold back, as Italy did.

The political consequences of the European Redemption Pact are one thing; what the gold-backed loans say about the common currency is quite another. The underlying message is not pretty. Germany, the supervisor of the pact and presumed inheritor of the gold if the loans are not repaid, seems to be saying: We don't trust the euro as it is; it's too weak, so give us a stronger gold-backed euro. Doubts about the health of the euro only increased on Friday, with more reports that Spain would formally seek a European bailout for its gutted banks as early as this weekend.

If the ailing European countries accept the gold deal, it would strengthen the euro. If they were to reject the deal, it would hurt the euro. Why? Because rejection, in effect, would state that they can't muster the fiscal discipline to ensure they get their gold back.

The European Redemption Pact is a psychological biggie. If it were to happen, it would say that gold is a key central bank reserve and that it can be an effective crisis management tool.

Two questions. If Europe goes for the gold-backed deal in an effort to save its sorry butt, what does this say about the credibility, or lack thereof, of fiat currencies around the world? 

And would it save the euro from extinction? Desperate times require desperate measures. We can all agree the euro is a pig. A pig stuffed with gold is an entirely different beast.
