Do you think they already have the "Amero" or another new global currency, ready to be unveiled, and the coming bank holiday (if it's true) is the week when they make the big changeover?

Holy cow....I predicted this last year. (Along with a lot of other people, I'm sure.)
Ok, I'm not trying to be a smart-ass or an I-told-you-so kind of person....but I think it was about a year ago that I predicted that if a major currency "change-over" was going to happen, it wouldn't happen willingly for America. First, there would have to be a planned crisis that would crash the value of the dollar, so that America would BEG for a new currency, instead of resist a new currency.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we're seeing that crisis right now. It started with the "leak" to the newspaper reporter about the secret meetings that were held about ditching the dollar.

It would make sense. They know that if they close the banks, people would probably riot because they couldn't get to their money.
But if they closed the banks to make a major change over in currency....people would be more tolerant. People wouldn't riot if there was a "valid reason" why they couldn't get to their money.

The Amero has been minted in Denver for the last couple of years. Here is a link to a site that has pictures and descriptions of the coins. They're even for sale.
I hope the link works. (It's my first post)

A software upgrade often takes 2-3 days if it is a major upgrade. If this is simply a patch then, yeah, that can be done quickly but a major upgrade requires a complete system backup and often times, migration of all the application data to a new storage platform plus installation of new servers.
With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about here.
Thanks for the heads up.

subject New Democrats celebrate victory over SPP
hide details 4:51 PM (8 hours ago)
Thank you for your past email outlining your concern over the Security and
Prosperity Partnership (SPP) initiative. I offer this email as an update on
our efforts.
The good news is that negotiations surrounding the SPP initiative have been
scrapped! The SPP was not part of the discussion at the most recent North
American Leaders' Summit. And, the official US SPP website is no longer
active and will remain as an archive of SPP documents.
New Democrats recognize that this result is due to the hard work of the many individuals and organizations who opposed this behind-closed-doors
agreement. Our International Trade Critic Peter Julian said, "This victory
is the result of the active and sustained efforts across the country, and
across North America, of Canadian, Mexican and American activists from the labour movement, civil society, progressive legislators and all those
concerned and committed to build a better quality of life in our Canada and throughout North America."
For more information, please visit:
www.ndp.ca...
Canada's New Democrats spoke out against the SPP from the beginning and
launched a national campaign to expose the negotiations. You can read
background information on the SPP negotiations at:
archive.ndp.ca...
Again, I appreciate hearing from you. Feel free to share my email with
anyone who may be interested. All the best.
Sincerely,
Jack Layton, MP (Toronto-Danforth)
Leader, Canada's New Democrats
The SPP is dead. Let’s keep it that way
By Murray Dobbin
The SPP is dead. Let’s keep in that way.
With virtually no fanfare or media analysis, one of the most transformative agreements ever signed by Canada and the US (and Mexico) is officially dead. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), the formal expression of a corporate lobbying campaign called deep integration, is no more. Its official US government website declared last month: "The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) is no longer an active initiative. There will not be any updates to this site." (It’s been edited since to be a little less brutal).

This website is an archive for SPP documents and will not be updated.

Now that is what I call interesting!!! I don't believe in coincidences, and the timing of this anouncement, and the notice put out by the credit union in the link begs for further study. Why the end of October? the timing of their announcement is too much coincidence for me.
KJV
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Well, I hate to say this but I for one am looking forward to a “Bank Holiday” for a few days. When the sheeple can’t take their money out of the bank, buy food or gas with their ATM or credit card, and they have no cash on hand then this would be a real wake up call for them.
I for one already have my emergency cash on hand, food, and water to not forget guns and ammo to wait this thing out if it happens.
I do need to have my camera in good working order because if this does happen I want to take plenty of pictures of people at the bank or grocery store trying to get their money and or buy food with their piece of plastic that no longer work.
Now of course I’m not totally sadistic about this, and I have tried to warn people that I know to be prepared. I’m just a little tired of getting that “you must be crazy look” back at me when I tried to inform people that it’s always smart to at least be a little prepared for unexpected problems as they arise.
