When I mentioned everyone on the board, I meanteveryone has seen the prices of their basic(I hope I don't have to spell that out) necessities go up in the past year,

And after the term truth you clearly see what I wrote and meant

I believe that China, instead of joining the European Union, will follow in their template as America is currently doing and be part of a union with other Asian nations, combining their strengths with the likes of Japan, Korea, the Middle East, etc...

Their united monetary system will act similar to the Euro and continue its growth against the dollar.

China is on the verge of becoming the big guy on the block in an area of very big guys. Do you know that Asia holds like 2/3rd of the world's population (India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia and Bangladesh). So it is possible that when their economy starts integrating into most of the country, then the Yuan will become the defacto standard at least of Asia instead of the dollar and the Yen.

I doubt they'd integrate much with the Middle East. They are two different civilizations, and civilization is a gap that almost can't be hurdled. Check out the book The Clash of Civilizations by Sam Huntington. He puts in a great analysis of the tensions between core and periphery countries that looks like it analyzed the cold war well, and whose analysis makes the post-cold war world intelligible.

i can't front. canada's on their game. i had feeling that the declining dollar would end up having the US to become more European than before.

this is a bit off the subject but another thing i've noticed in the US is how the plan for the rich moving back into the city area and moving the poor out to the suburbs is a structure of Europe; like the outer regions of Paris for example. just something i was noticing.

It wouldn't matter if it could be hurdled, they may not form with the Middle East, but they will be consolidated. Look at the European Union at its formation, they all had various gaps as well as economic concerns which didn't fully translate into the agreement, but it still has, the only detractor from it is England with the Sterling [Pound] because their currency is currently stronger and wouldn't be sullied by the rest.

Just wait until the Central Banks and World Bank start working together, they will soon form under one and continue to consolidate... In fact, look at our neighbors and the treaties in which we have with them [Canada and Mexico], Both NAFTA and CAFTA will open our borders and consolidate our currency into the Amero, and with the civilization and cultural concerns we have with Mexico will be an after thought.

Just another sign that we as a people need to be more global minded in our focus.

You missed my point. The reason that the Euro was possible was because the countries came from a common culture: Europeanism or whatever. Most of them share the common ancestor languages of greek and latin. You'll see how this plays out in that Turkey, which is geographically close to them, almost as integrated economically, and since the 60's or so very 'westernized' politically but religiously it is an Islamic country. The EU is saying no to them because they don't have the cultural ancestry as the rest of Europe.

What will be interesting is how Russia fits. It is technically Asian, but has lots of attention in the western portion of it so many people consider it European (except for those of us who actually look at maps and realize that Europe is really the far western dingleberry of the Asian continent) though culturally Russia is rather unique. I don't think that Euramerica pays enough attention to Russia's dealings with China and Asia, because they are fools.

In terms of Nafta and Cafta, you're not realizing that economic integration is far different from free trade. The upper echelons of Corporate America have no intention of 'integrating' our economy with that of Mexico and Canada that is any different from the 'integration' that blacks were subjected to during the 60's and today. All they did is knock down the barriers for multi-national companies to swing their weight around in new territories.

Do your research on the Amero, you will be amazed how far from the truth you are. Also do your research on
Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America - signed by President Bush without being seen by senate and congress.

All of this pushed and manipulated by the members of the Council of Foreign Relations, whose founders are the true owners of the Federal Reserve.

the Amero? What is that? whatever you said was signed by pres bush . . .

If you already know about it, and you want me to research it, why not provide links to the source material? Even if i found Something, it might not be what you saw, thus giving us different information.

I tend not to go on wild goose chases
