World Markets may be shut down for global accord? Peg to gold standard (new Bretten Woods)? What is up?

This was actually in effect up until Nixon's administration (Bretton Woods), when he fully seperated the dollar from gold. I don't think it entails a single currency for every nation. I will have to wait for more updated informtation on it before I come to an accurate opinion.

The gold standard is definitely needed, but preferably, as you stated, it should be within our own country. I'm just not sure if this lays out anything that sinister, as of yet.

It does further prove Ron Paul's point on the economy though. I've noticed A LOT of people saying things like "Well he's wrong on a lot of issues..... but he's right on the economy." lol. The same ones who were calling him a kook months ago.

*edit*

Here is a pretty good article criticizing the IMF and the WTO.

It's a no-brainer, now that we have passed peak oil reserves, that we have to find alternatives to using oil and natural gas, and coal does so many other things to the air than emit carbon dioxide that we need to find alternatives for it, too. We have to do that. And as a society we're smart enough to do that without being told a pack of fairy tales by so-called climatologists and politicians. The political left needs to step up for its part of the blame for this mess - the giant, orchestrated fuss over nuclear power left us with no economical alternative to coal, oil and natural gas. The left and right wings need to get over their issues and agree on a way out of this mess that doesn't involve a zero-sum win for either party. How about we launch a crash program to set up clean alternatives to oil, coal and natural gas - nuclear, at this point - and inexpensive retrofits for vehicles to operate as hybrids or plug-in electric vehicles? Nooooo. The Democrats so far have been all about 500 million-dollar grants to electric car companies to make electric cars that will sell (we hope) for about $40,000 each in 2012. (That particular grant was obtained for Fisker Automotive from the Obama administration by Al Gore.) (1, 2) Total cluelessness, in other words. Five hundred million dollars for electric cars that many of us won't be able to afford if Obamacare goes through and our MANDATORY health insurance premiums go as high as the Congressional Budget Office says they will. All the liberals who called George W. Bush a moron and then voted for Barack Obama owe Bush a sincere apology. Their man is a bigger cretin than Bush was before he stopped partying back in the '70s.

Ever Hear of the Amero. New World Order. remember when we was young and we all might have said I am not going to take the mark of the BEAST. Well hear it comes. Look in Bush (aka Poison Ivy) Eyes. seethe Hell Fire?

Going backwards to the gold standard will not solve the problem. Also, the leaders of the world are talking about banking standards.

I am very concerned and am like a voice lost in the wind, no one in Washington cares what we think about it.

People are scared and this includes ceos and businesses and all. Everyone is taking money out because we are definitely going on a WORLDWIDE RECCESSION!!!!

New World Order here we come!

That is GW Bush's widest dream come true.
