So, I guess Geithner is open to China’s idea of a global currency replacing the dollar. I’m pretty much vehemently opposed to any proposal that holds other countries as equal to ours — like U.N. votes. Part of how America helps the world is that it remains separate from the other countries and punishes them for their weakness thus making them try to do better. If we all join together to help other countries, that’s like rewarding their suckiness, and what happens to the world if you win a prize for sucking?
That’s not to say I’m against there one day there being a one-world government and the elimination of borders. It’s just it has to happen by America conquering all other countries.
Didn’t they already award several prizes to the Goricle for some sucking?
I’m intrigued by your views and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
The basic idea of world government is interesting. On one hand I’m totally against it on the other hand there is going to be a good one. That whole Millennial Reign thing and all. Course Jesus is an awesome king so it’s all good there. Leviticus has some great governmental philosophies like the total of the taxes equaling approximately 23% and that covered both the government and the church. Actually more went to the church. And God sure doesn’t seem to have any qualms with executing criminals and for those not executed there’s a proper punishment and fix for the situation.
Time to place the classified ad…
WANTED TO BUY: Looking to purchase an uninhabited continent for development into free, capitalist society with strong military, supported by armed citizenry. No ports or airports necessary. Serious sellers only please, no United Nations calls will be entertained.

I think the global currency is a good idea. Here’s how it will work. First we trade in our currency with an exchange rate of .40 cents to one dollar to obtain parity. All untraded dollars will be contraband. The new unit still needs to be named. I suggest the “crap”. One crap would buy a coke, ten craps would buy a Wendy’s value meal etc.
The restaurant business would be hardest hit when they advertise the “daily crap special”.
Idaho Spud, at least we won’t have to worry about having our wallets go missing or being stolen. I hear Geithner is suggesting a simple Mark in the Right Hand or Forehead. So, at least one problem solved.
I knew it! Obama’s the anti-Christ & Geithner is the devil’s cabana boy!
What’s next, a one-world multicultural religion where the state is worshiped and tithed to, children are indoctrinated with secular philosophy & sacred texts are not allowed within or on government institutions under pain of severe legal prosecution?
Oops…I nearly forgot that that’s already begun. If the rapture passes me by, I’m going to kill as many of these bastards as I can before they behead me.
“That’s not to say I’m against there one day there being a one-world government and the elimination of borders. It’s just it has to happen by America conquering all other countries.”
Hear, hear!!
Obama gets to say “No” to a world currency (other than ours), while getting Geithner to float the balloon. Sneaky. Let’s just take over Canada and Mexico now while they’re busy, I need some ocean-front property.
geitner is only wanting tanother currency so that when he doesn’t pay his taxes he can just say he was out of dollars.
Btw — When is someone going to make a that one bumper sticker that has a target for the “o”? I would make them myself, but I am busy being a slave to the gubmunt.
“What’s that?”
“That? That’s the money you could’ve saved by not switching to Geithner.”
Alan,
RUSH predicted this in their Album 2112. Spooky.
“That’s not to say I’m against there one day there being a one-world government and the elimination of borders. It’s just it has to happen by America conquering all other countries.”
Now that’s a new world order! The world would be a happier place then.
The great thing about todays leaders is they don’t have to be particularly smart, just evil.
DesertElephant: What should the mark look like? Maybe Frank could have a design contest. I would guess the first mark would be an “O”, but even here there is a conflict because if it is the mark of the beast then it could be an “M” (Michelle) or an “H” (Hillary) or an “N” (Nancy). In any case my face is not a G**damned billboard and there is only so much room. Maybe the entire alphabet tattooed and we just circle whoever “der leader” is on any given day?
DE-
Yeah. I think Revelation had a bit of insight on the matter as well.
the book of marx
what happens to the world if you win a prize for sucking?
The MSM will crown you POTUS. (hey someone had to say it)
#4 Son of Bob, lemme know when you find that property; I’ll relocate!
Alan,
Don;t try and short sell Daniel. He had a few rather cogent references to the current political Climate as well. Should we call hObama, Clayfeet? Think that is his Secret Service code name?
Replace the dollar??? We may as well go back to swapping shiney rocks and animal pelts.
I vote for calling the dollar replacement the “juan”. A combination of the “yuan”, the chinese currency and the “dollar”. And it should be based on the Pound. One “juan” would have 28 “jesuses” and each “jesus” would have 13 “parminders”. The value would be based on 1/trillionth the value of the sun.
So far, fiftycal’s making more sense than this maladministration…
When we rule the world, maybe we can restore the original meaning of words like ‘liberal’ so I won’t have to spit when I hear it anymore. (ptui)
“What the denouncer of dogma really means is not that dogma is bad; but rather that dogma is too good to be true.
That is, he means that dogma is too liberal to be likely.
Dogma gives man too much freedom when it permits him to fall.
Dogma gives even God too much freedom when it permits him to die.
That is what the intelligent sceptics ought to say; and it is not in the least my intention to deny that there is something to be said for it.
They mean that the universe is itself a universal prison; that existence itself is a limitation and a control; and it is not for nothing that they call causation a chain.
In a word, they mean quite simply that they cannot believe these things; not in the least that they are unworthy of belief.
We say, not lightly but very literally, that the truth has made us free.
They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth.
To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy.
It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills.
It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer.
This is a manly and a rational negation for which I for one shall always show respect.
But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the wings and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.”
– GK Chesterton, The Everlasting Man, Part II, Ch. V
The ones currently dreaming of a world government are not qualified to dream of it.

The real problems are who will determine the value of our dollar, if we keep our dollar, against this new currency? Secondly, if we dump the dollar who will determine the price for American goods and services vs. the rest of the world’s goods and service?
The bad news is it will be a UN like organization that hates the US and wants to redistribute our wealth to the worlds “people of color”. No wonder Geitner and Obama liked this idea. The crackers will get whats do them, FINALLY!
I’ve wondered since I was young what would have to happen to the world to get from where we were then to the end times, and what stood in the way of that happening. The list gets shorter, not longer, with each decade, and recently each week. Globalism has effectively made the whole “one nation falls, and another rises” arc of history a house of cards that changes the rule to “one nation falls, and takes everyone else with it”. It almost seems a necessary precondition for shared crisis. And shared crisis seems a necessary precondition for one world government.
One problem is that you occasionally see frauds on YouTube or whatever with “evidence”, and that discredits the whole concept. I don’t need any more evidence than a White House press conference.
I find it darkly hillarious that the very people who think Christians are insane for believing in the book of Revelation are the very ones doing their level best to make it happen.
It’s like how the pharisees and Romans arranged matters to make it possible for Jesus to fullfill the Old Testament prophecies concerning the ‘suffering Messiah’.
(Psalm 24:18, for example).
Rev. 13:9
“He who has an ear, let him hear.”
“That’s not to say I’m against there one day there being a one-world government and the elimination of borders. It’s just it has to happen by America conquering all other countries.”
