The government printed money to deal with the crisis; this allowed Germany to pay war loans and reparations with worthless marks and helped formerly great industrialists to pay back their own loans. This also led to pay raises for workers and for businessmen who wanted to profit from it. Circulation of money rocketed, and soon the Germans discovered their money was worthless. The value of the Papiermark had declined from 4.2 per US dollar at the outbreak of World War I to 1 million per dollar by August 1923. This gave the Republic's opponents something else to criticise it for. On 15 November 1923, a new currency, the Rentenmark, was introduced at the rate of 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000) Papiermark for 1 Rentenmark, an action known as a monetary reset. At that time, 1 U.S. dollar was equal to 4.2 Rentenmark. Reparation payments resumed, and the Ruhr was returned to Germany under the Locarno Pact, which defined a border between Germany, France and Belgium.

Weimar Republic
I am perplexed by the ridiculous amount of money being printed by the Federal Reserve. You'd think the history of Weimar and the modern economic policy of Zimbabwe would be enough to reiterate the dangers of "printing paper" - especially if your currency is not backed by Gold.

well, so finally we will have the NWO/comunistic global enslavement.
God help us
In the year 2013 civilization has all but destroyed itself. After a war that decimated the government and most of the population of the United States (possibly the world) people struggle to survive against starvation and rogue groups of armed men. One such group is called the Holnists. This group is bigger than any other and their leader, General Bethlehem, has delusions of ruling the country. A drifter is captured by the group and forced to join. He escapes at the first chance and happens on a mail jeep with a skeleton in it. The skeleton is wearing a postal uniform and the drifter takes it to keep him warm. He also finds a mailbag and starts conning people with old letters. The hope he sees in the people he delivers to changes his plans and he decides that he must help bring the Holnists down.

hey, sorry to post your signature but I found it today on other forum and found it pretty good prediction for what we can see now.
in fact, I do not really belive that we are going back to comunism, rather to capitalism limited to the elite approved by the NWO government (quasinazi world organization - more less as seb has written).
but however it is going to look like we are on the pretty s###ty position.

Good info, but all the Global Warming Bashing was extremely ignorant and unnecessary.
I also want to point out that he didnt mention a solution. When you put a topic like this up without giving a solution, your aiming to simply spread panic. This being Fox News (the bad guy), we should all try and find the underlining meaning of why they are trying to create this panic.
I really wish it wasnt Fox that did this.
