The International Monetary Fund ....

Listening to shortwave at the moment.

The International Monetary Fund has quietly changed its name to the International Monetary AUTHORITY.

Now you know.

What do you think that means? A one world currency? A cashless society?

You're probably right on both guesses.

It means also that it will control all currencies. Yours, mine, everyone's.

I don't understand people. Especially Americans.

On one side of the scale all the evidence points to the loss of freedom and liberty, our country, our Constitution, our way of life. On the other side is doubt. We wait. We say this can't be!
But our money is just about worthless. The Federal Reserve and our politicians and bankers have seen to that. We are taxed; we are threatened by a shift to militarized police; we are surveilled (read some later posts from this week), we are regulated. Every day we bend a little closer to the ground so that we will kiss the feet of those who put us in chains.

We support the Communist Chinese who use slave labor every time we buy a product made there. Our industry began leaving when they went to Mexico with the maquilladoros 20 years ago. Now that's too expensive - send them somewhere else. We manufacture very little. When I pick up a piece of merchandise that is made here, I joke that it must be no good.

We are lost in consumerism. Expendable items we must buy because we are conditioned with advertising. We have no tariffs to protect us. Free trade has a big price to pay.

We have FEMA camps with ovens that no one wants to hear about. Homeland Security is a complete oxymoron. It doesn't make me feel secure at all It can't be true! The government wants total power. No. That can't be true! The government loves us.

ARE YOU KIDDING? WHAT GOVERNMENT LOVES ITS PEOPLE?

It's happening. It's happening in my part of the world, and in yours. Are we so blind and ineffectual we can't stop this?
