U.N. panel says world should ditch dollar
LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - A U.N. panel will next week recommend that the world ditch the dollar as its reserve currency in favor of a shared basket of currencies, a member of the panel said on Wednesday, adding to pressure on the dollar.
Some analysts said news of the U.N. panel's recommendation extended dollar losses because it fed into concerns about the future of the greenback as the main global reserve currency, raising the chances of central bank sales of dollar holdings.
"There is a moment that can be grasped for change," he said.

I don't hold much hope for the Dollar at the moment.

What will they do, go against the dollar?
Statement two. "Americans are so brainwashed and stupid.. all they want is war and their government are trying to crash the world economy"
This is also completely STUPID.. fine.. many Americans are stupid and annoying.. but its a HUGE country that is predominantly english speaking.. obviously you are going to come across a lot of war crazed, immature, braindead idiots. BUT.. if you ever bothered to go there, you would see that the vast vast majority are extremely nice.. AND their government is not trying to crash the economy.. GLOBAL BANKERS ARE!

One world currency?
Sounds like a step in that direction to me.
They need Americans on thier knees.
They are going to attempt to take our Ammo for our guns, then take our guns.
If it's not NWO, we should in each country, have the ability to stand up and take control of our Govts.
What say you?

To add,
I am really getting tired of paying for the rest of the world.
There is hardly a country that we do not spend our hard earned money on, or downright give them money.

Excuse me, but isn't that what we already have under the U.S. dollar as a global standard currency reserve? Wake up! The NWO has been alive and well for the past century. Any talk of a "new NWO" is pure disinformation. Or... perhaps this new currency will be headed by the same powers that have benefited ever since the Fed's creation. They realize their operation in the U.S. is beginning to fail so they've decided to take it up a level.
