The New Amero Currency

[El Queso]

This seems fairly hilarious to me. I got this link:

From my Argentino lawyer. I was in his office a day or two ago and after we finished business he swings his monitor around, with a grin on his face which seemed to be mixed between concern and a desire to disbelieve. He has a google video page up with Hal Turner and runs the video. He asks me what I think.

In the video, Hal Tuner talks about how he was forced to shut down by harrassment by special interest groups and the government by telling the world about the conspiracy that he has uncovered related to a new US currency.

Apparently this link is being sent all over South America. My lawyer knows a number of people who have gotten it. I did a search for "Amero" on google and the first 3 pages were nothing but spanish language websites (I am searching from Argentina, so I expect some of that, but the frequency puts those at the top first anyway) talking about it and Hal Turner.

I found this link:

Near the end of the third page of results was the first website in English, and Spanish sites continued after it.

Anyway, it seems pretty funny. My lawyer actually asked me if I thought this was true. He says to him that it rings very true.

Oh, I know. What cracks me up about all of this are his claims to begin with (if you watch the video, he holds the coin up to the camera, pointing out a number of details that "prove" it is official and made by the US government, and yet somehow the camera can't focus enough to make out what he's talking about) and the fact that people all over South America (or Latin America) are picking this up and running with it - they want to have so many reasons to hate the US and they will pick up on any little thing.

My wife overheard some young Argentinos one day walking down the street and talking about how evil the US was because we cloned babies and carried them to term in incubators. She came back upset and asked me if it was true and then was really pissed off at what she had heard from the young idiots when she found out that it couldn't possibly be - yet.

It does have a "D" on it, I'm sure that means made in the "D"enver Mint and not made "D"own in my basement.

That video's been online since September 2007. I think the subject was mentioned in that Zeitgeist movie too.

I don't buy that sh*t.

Another video, way more looong, it's not about the Amero, but on the same line. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8883910961351786332

I had no time to see the whole video, but seems to be an attempt for the same "viral" style.

I'm currently working on my own viral one:)

[Rainot]

That's Zeitgeist. Then there's Zeitgeist Addendum. And there's a new one to be released shortly. Entertaining stuff (new world order mumbo jumbo, messing with religion, banking system is the source of all our problems, etc. But they forget to mention their sources, so a great deal of it is not believable. Anyway lots of ppl in blogs have already discussed what this movie says, argument by argument. To sum up: horse sh*t.

Ron Paul argues for a gold standard currency!

Our current federal reserve system is not quite working. I kind of doubt it would be the amero although I have heard those rumors floated by Republican operatives.

The dollar / federal reserve is a sham.

The dollar is a new currency.
