Please allow me to tell the story of GW Bush and his ride through Texas and the globe.
This carpetbagger came to Texas with an agenda. He married a Texas girl and aquired the fakest accent of anyone I know.
His daddy set-up several oil companies for him to start/run/bankrupt to keep his drunk butt away from him.
His political career had to involve a military stint, so one was created and deleted.
He couldn’t have been a dog-catcher in this little county where I live but he made it to Governor through connections.
In the first state elections involving GWB, his Rove machine was well organized and ground the local parties into dust.
For example, our local precinct elections (Rep and Dem) were taken over by zealots arriving in church vans by the dozens. This went on at every precinct in the state.
These new precinct chairpersons set the agenda for state political officials from road commissioners and school boards to state legislators.
GWB had the state by the balls and he led this state into the worst financial condition imaginable. We are near last or at last in every indicator of success: health care for citizens, unemployment assistance, schools, etc.
Meanwhile, a blind eye was turned to allow every sector of our work force to be manipulated by the use of imported slave labor. This has everyone working six days a week for near minimum wage.
Meanwhile, the rich became ultra rich. McMansions were the rage. Three story 50,000 sf homes with bowling alleys in the basement popped up everywhere. Not surprising, the neighborhood where GWB just moved into had one of the biggest influxes of this money.
This GWB section of Dallas has the highest ratio of private schools in the state. People around here call it “little Europe” because there are Mercedez, Porche, Bentleys, Rolls, etc, at every intersection and fancy store.
The public schools flounder because there is no tax money having it all diverted to private and charter schools. As a matter of fact, the public school across from GWB’s house is attended only by the children of maids, servants, drivers, and landscapers from this neighborhood.
You don’t have to ponder global currencies to see where the Bush politics have taken us. If there’s a plan for bankrupting our economy, it’s well underway and led by the GOP. The haves and have-nots are divided by quantum ratios.
GWB once stated that he was okay with this country having a king; as long as HE was the king. Welcome the New World Order of King George.

Once again…CHECK YOUR FACTS! Try going to an exactual source, not some agenda driven blogs that makes things up as they go along. A good example of facts is the AP QUOTING what the individual said. Here is the real story…something I know you are not very familiar with:

Geithner, at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the U.S. is “open” to a headline-grabbing proposal by the governor of the China’s central bank, which was widely reported as being a call for a new global currency to replace the dollar, but which Geithner described as more modest and “evolutionary.”

Joe, you are exactly right. The RepubliCons have been using this tactic and others for a long time. Look at the variation of this tactic by the Criminal Bush, cause the problem, then blame everyone else.

That’s funny, none of you conspiratorial types had anything to say about the “New World Order” when neocons were at the helm.

it is the ruling elite who have used this “new world order” catch phrase, so be careful who you accuse of slinging conspiracy theories.

i refer you to the complete idiot’s guide to the new world order… have a good laugh at your own expense, people.

this story did not start with drudge and it certainly doesn’t end with obama (much like our economy might if we keep printing up trillions of dollars to sink into pork-stuffed stimulus packages and endless bailouts for the investment class).

krugman suggests that the current plan will destroy the economy. even if krugman is wrong, the obama administration is implementing policies that will unarguably result in runaway hyper-inflation… why?

Don’t you idiots get it? Or are you that blatantlly biased that you can’t see.

Its all incremental steps.

One move ultimately leads to a prefered outcome.

The traditionalist conservative fascist (mostly in the south) has always displayed his ignorance and fear of change.

This goes back to the abolition of slavery to the civil rights movement.

So globalist, corporatist banksters are not just gonna announce that they want to annex Mexico and Canada.

They’re not gonna just announce that they want a world government modeled after the U.S. And Europe.

They’re not gonna say that the reason why we’re in constant wars is because of the U.S. World domination schemes led by our banksters ,multi national corporations ánd military.

They’re gonna create a crisis and then implement the plan, while the frightened, ignorant masses accepts it.

Or they’re just gonna slowly put it into policy until there’s no denying it.

The one world government is a strange fear. Clearly, some people will fear any concept without bothering to ask themselves if what they fear is the slightest bit feasible or if what they fear is something akin to Pinky and The Brain.

The most formidable power appears to me to be banks. And the Republicans treat them like victims.

Go figure.

There’s a very old political tactic of accusing your opposition of doing exactly what you’re doing. This diversion works to disarm your accusations against them. Sometimes the best way to see what the enemy is doing is to hear what they’re accusing you of.

Fox News, Republicans, and crackpot Zionists have become masters of this deception technique. Glenn Beck’s list of what the “socialists” want strikes me as exactly what the right-wing, American and Israeli Zionists Nazis want. Here’s the list:

!. Have a global currency.

2. Have “one big government.” (What’s the United Nations all about, anyway?)

3. They want to take away “our guns, our soverenity, our currency, and our money.”

Those ideas sound more like Baron Rothschild speaking. Benjamin Netanyahu. Avigdor Lieberman. Leo Strauss. The clowns who wrote the “Protocols of the Elders of Zionist.” Drivel you find in the Talmud. It’s George Bush, Sr. who talked about a “New World Order.” What’s that all about? I think it means that democracy is dead and that the rich and superior will start running things now.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a world government as long as it’s run by the people and not rich thugs. Beware of Republicans and Zionists telling you what socialists want.

Politico & Drudge are running this today.

They are calling a proposed change to the “reserve currency” a “new global currency”.

Are they being intentionally coy and misleading or are they really paranoid? Or does it not really matter which it is?

Before I laugh my ass off.

Doesn’t Global currency means that paper money must be backed more by actual gold/silver/diamond etc and not the cheap three card monte, fish paper the repugs are conning the public with?

They’re crazy about this because it’s part f the End Times. The Antichrist unites all nations, and creates one currency.
The next part is the UPC code Mark Of The Beast, which will be required to Buy or Sell.
(Oh, don’t bother looking for this in the actual Bible. This is the Gospel according to Hal Lindsay.)

This story has already been taken up by 9/11 “inside job” theorists, who are always eager to help spread Republican talking points.

The Right seems to be grasping at straws and when there are no straws they imagine them. Their desperation has them completely unhinged as illustrated by Bachmann, Beck, Bolton, Rush etc.
