• George Soros and the New Bretton Woods

    From Jeff Snyder@1:345/3777 to All on Sun Mar 27 19:14:00 2011
    Is the axe laid to the American tree, and will that tree be felled within
    two weeks time, or at the very least be chopped down to size?

    On April 8th, 2011 the Institute for New Economic Thinking -- or INET --
    which was founded by globalist billionaire George Soros, will be holding a
    very important -- and very elite -- economic conference at the famed The
    Mount Washington Hotel -- also known as the Bretton Woods Hotel -- in New Hampshire. In its day, The Mount Washington Hotel was considered the most advanced, and most luxurious of hotels, and was host to many celebrities.
    But insofar as this post is concerned, what The Mount Washington Hotel is
    most famous for is the 1944 UN-sponsored Bretton Woods International
    Monetary Conference, which was attended by members of forty-four Allied nations.

    As I explain in part one of my 2007 series "Saddam Hussein's Execution And
    The Euro Dollar War", following the 1930 Great Depression, with so much
    money in circulation, the U.S. Government couldn't possibly exchange it all
    for actual gold reserves, because there simply wasn't enough gold to cover
    it all. As a result, in 1932, U.S. President Roosevelt removed the dollar
    from the gold standard.

    However, the governments of foreign countries could still have their dollars converted back into gold by the U.S. Government -- if they so demanded it --
    at $35.00 an ounce. This financial arrangement with the nations of the world was a result of the aforementioned Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference. This conference established a new global financial order -- referred to as the Bretton Woods System -- in which the U.S. dollar was established as the currency reserve of the world, thus giving it tremendous purchasing power. But this was not the only important development which resulted from the Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference. What also occurred at that time was the creation of the World Bank, as well as the International Monetary Fund. If you are a longtime reader of my work, then
    you will already know my opinion concerning these two institutions.

    So what does this have to do with George Soros and the April 8th conference? Quite simply, it is no coincidence that Soros -- by way of the Institute for New Economic Thinking -- has selected The Mount Washington Hotel as the location for the upcoming conference. He is in fact making a very clear statement, and that statement is that -- in his mind at least, and in the
    minds of his elite colleagues -- it is time to establish a new global
    financial order -- a multilateral system -- which is not so dependent on the United States and the U.S. dollar. As I explain in the aforementioned
    series, the U.S. dollar has been riding high for a very long time now, and a lot of nations want that to change. Thus, the U.S., the European Union, and other nations have engaged in a financial tug-of-war -- the euro-dollar war
    -- for years now.

    In his own words, Soros states that he wants to "establish new international rules", as well as "reform the currency system", so that other nations --
    such as China -- are more equally represented in global economic decisions,
    and receive their fair share of the financial pie. In his 2009 book entitled "Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism", Soros wrote that he wanted to "reconstitute the International Monetary Fund". He also noted that "Reorganizing the world order will need to extend beyond the financial
    system and involve the United Nations, especially membership of the Security Council . . . That process needs to be initiated by the U.S., but China and other developing countries ought to participate as equals . . . The rising powers must be present at the creation of this new system in order to ensure that they will be active supporters."

    Who are these rising powers? According to the Institute for New Economic Thinking's website, they are the European Union, Eastern Europe, Latin
    America, and Asia. George Soros and his colleagues are very serious about
    this; and given the financial power that the man possesses, he may very well get what he wants. In fact, Soros is referring to the upcoming INET
    conference and the anticipated reorganization of the global economic system
    as "the New Bretton Woods".

    What also worries certain American financiers and America's elite, is the
    fact that Soros doesn't seem to hold particularly warm feelings towards the United States. In fact, like certain other people -- and I would include
    myself in this group -- he views the U.S.A. as a declining superpower. As I mention in a number of my articles, it appears that America's "glory days"
    are over, and it has in fact been in a period of moral, spiritual and
    financial decline for years now. Concerning the latter, it has sold its financial soul to China.

    In some regards, America is like the ancient Rome Empire during its period
    of slow decline. But there is a danger here. As George Soros notes ". . . a declining superpower losing both political and economic dominance but still preserving military supremacy is a dangerous mix."

    While Soros is a globalist -- and I don't like globalists -- I would have to agree with him at least on this point. Despite its current state of decay,
    the United States has been involved in more or less continuous warfare somewhere in the world for the past sixty years or so: the Koreas, Vietnam,
    the Balkans and Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya; and that doesn't include the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, clandestine intervention in Nicaragua and other Latin American countries, and other minor military interventions which don't receive a lot of longterm media coverage.

    The truth is that America just doesn't seem to know how to live at peace
    with the rest of the world for extended periods of time. It is a nation
    which was founded upon war, and which continues to thrive on war. War is the economic life blood of the nation. America has become like a longterm adulterous woman: marry, divorce, remarry, divorce, remarry, divorce, etc.
    In other words, war, a few years of peace, another war, a few years of
    peace, another war, etc.

    When will it ever stop? When will the American people stop it? Will Syria
    be next? Or Iran?

    At any rate, whatever happens at the upcoming economic conference at the Bretton Woods Hotel, and whatever decisions are made by the world's elite,
    it may eventually have profound repercussions, and it may change the world;
    but will we like it?

    You just made the case against the Gold Standard. In a major
    downturn, the dollar can become worth so much more the gold can
    be bought out. Since such downturns have always been temporary,
    if they aren't the country falls apart, the gold reserves are
    wiped out leaving the country with no basis for the curency.
