Question
Gordon Brown
, Can you assure us that this G20 meeting will not lead the IMF to issue new SDRs that could ultimately cause a 'catastrophic economic holocaust of world-wide runaway inflation' as described by Murray Rothbard in his highly prescient 1960s' book "What Has The Government Done To Our Money?": "the ultimate goal of most American and world leaders is the old Keynesian vision of a one-world fiat paper standard, a new currency unit issued by a World Reserve Bank (WRB)...such an international paper currency, while indeed free of balance of payments crises since the WRB could issue as much bancors [SDRs] as it wished and supply them to its country of choice, would provide for an open channel for unlimited world-wide inflation, unchecked by either balance-of-payments crises or by declines in exchange rates. The WRB would then be the all-powerful determinant of the world’s money supply and its national distribution. The WRB could and would subject the world to what it believes will be a wisely-controlled inflation. Unfortunately, there would then be nothing standing in the way of the unimaginably catastrophic economic holocaust of world-wide runaway inflation, nothing, that is, except the dubious capacity of the WRB to fine-tune the world economy." I have to say, hearing the chatter going into this meeting, I fear this is EXACTLY what governments want to happen.

So when it comes to monetary 'assistance' I think Rothbard was saying to government big-wigs and technocrats, metaphorically speaking "Put the gun down and walk away." If only we were that lucky! "As we face the future, the prognosis for the dollar and for the international monetary system is grim indeed. Until and unless we return to the classical gold standard at a realistic gold price, the international money system is fated to shift back and forth between fixed and fluctuating exchange rates with each system posing unsolved problems, working badly, and finally disintegrating. And fueling this disintegration will be the continued inflation of the supply of dollars and hence of American prices which show no sign of abating. The prospect for the future is accelerating and eventually runaway inflation at home, accompanied by monetary breakdown and economic warfare abroad. This prognosis can only be changed by a drastic alteration of the American and world monetary system: by the return to a free market commodity money such as gold, and by removing government totally from the monetary scene."

Usury is immoral! The lessons were there long ago - we've all become, on the whole, so obesessed with materialism and selfish pleasure seaking that we've forgotten the lessons of the world's first great socialist - Jesus. I'm not religious at all - don't believe in God, I think the lessons in the religious books have political intentions - methods of controlling superstitious masses of stupid people - well they've even been twisted and re-framed to ensure those people hell-bent on global domination have more and more power - yes, the abolition of the Gold Standard was a terrible blow to the sanity of the market. This economic crisis is the result of the zionist agenda - but they've conveniently silenced that argument by way of associating claims such as this with various 'abhorrent' things such as terrorism, mindless paranoia and conspiracy theory nuts. Go and do your homework I ask all of you - start with the board of the jewish agency, look at its agenda, then look at who the people are and what other roles they play in this world. Even orthodox Jewish leaders are screaming out at the evil being done in the name of their religion. When one criticises the zionists one is labelled anti-semitic and a new holocaust movie is trotted out with that scapegoat of scapegoats Adolf at the helm! Why is there so much attention given to this one human atrocity over so many other genocides and holocausts that have happened in history? Because the zionists have an agenda and have been slowly working away at it for hundreds of years in order to avoid having to 'sing their song in a strange land'! The things happening in Gaza are intricately linked to this crisis. Our leaders are owned by the corporations which are mostly controlled by zionists. Time to storm the castle!
