One World Government?

I remember when they said that prior to the inception of the currency that is now traded by a supranational union comprising 27 member states.
However, my point did not speak to the certain inception of the North American Union nor it's currency, the Amero. It projected as to what is bandied about as to happen given the EU is already in place.
And to clarify a broad misconception that runs rampant on the Internet, the Amero is not a conspiracy theory.
It was the subject of a paper entitled, The Case for the Amero:The Economics and Politics of a North American Monetary Union. Authored by Herbert G. Grubel, Professor of Economics (Emeritus), Simon Fraser University.

From there an independent company started to mint tokens in keeping with the design the Professor described in his paper and started selling them on-line. And after that the story flourished to what it is today. However, the Amero case predated what became the fable of one north American currency.

Note you said "token." A private mint does this to make a point, advertise, or make money (usually the latter).

Sealand (a micronation which consists of a former gun platform off the British Coast) mints gold and silver coins; that does not make the idea of Sealand any more a state than a private mint pressing Amero coins for profit. I have a roll of specie state quarters with a reverse of two people "doing it," allegedly Bill Clinton and an office worker.

That does not mean the Mint is going to issue the "Bill Clinton, philanderer" quarter.

and the Colombian city was destroyed by a volcano. Clueless as to the import of that remark.

I noted Amero, Colombia because it is the only Amero that ever existed, other than as political conspiracy theory. The currency is named after the town. (The conspiracy runs Amero was destroyed by the volcano, so would the USA be by currency union).

The paper you cite above was written by a college professor, not a active politician (though he was briefly a Canadian MP), in a university that had such a divisive political science department they were forced to divide it up into three different departments to separate the pugilists (the professors). Have you actually "read" the paper? All the way through?

I have, before we even started this "amero" nonsense thread. http://oldfraser.lexi.net/publications/c...999/amero/ It may be found there. He also argues for three other methods of straightening out our finances, such as a currency board, returning to a metals-backed currency, or dollarization of other economies (noting that much of Mexico is already so). Few Fundamentalists would argue with a metals-backed solution, also in the paper. Or is it like the Bible, quote the parts that support your position and ignore those that don't or don't make any sense?

The Euro was hardly conspiracy theory; it existed as a financial trade unit long before the actual notes were placed in circulation, it was debated in every nation that adopted it and one that did not (UK). Public debate on actual proposed law changes hardly makes for a conspiracy. I am aware of the public debate; I lived in Spain during the debate there to retire the peseta. There was no conspiracy about it.

Amero conspiracy theory has been kicking around ever since that paper by an unknown professor at a little-known Canadian college who's greatest claim to fame was their professors hated each other.

But like much of the vanguard of Christian Fundamentalist though, the same folk that pile up guns in backyard arsenals while preaching "love thy neighbour" grab anything they think supports their case and ignore everything else, whether it be science, their own Bible, or unknown professors from second-rate colleges.

I note you did not take on why Liberals in Canada think the conspiracy is to take over their businesses and dismantle their public healthcare system and make tons of money privatising it, and they argue just as strenuously against a North American Union (which is also floated in the same paper) and an amero currency as the Conservatives do here. You also did not mention why Canada and Mexico (the #1 and #2 holders of our foreign debt) would be interested in tying their currencies to our sinking economy and ruin theirs, thereby.
