Something happened recently that is not getting very much discussion in the media and I have not seen mentioned here.
This should be a very big story; but, it is getting almost zero attention. The IMF wanted to commingle the worlds currencies to create the backbone of a single global currency and now it is complete, it is just that it was done by the Central Banks rather than the IMF. Same game; but, done in such a way that nobody notices.
Bob Chapman on jones today pointed out that the whole MF global debacle where they stole all the customers money and and ex governor corzine isn't even being prosecuted was a step to stabilize AMERICAN banks... this is why Corzine isn't being procecuted
I am not trying to take credit for seeing anything, I was just trying to bring up the point and let others see it for themselves.

Associated Press - Central banks move to stabilize financial system
Please read the article completely before responding. Traditionally, foreign countries would accept dollars and hold them in their central banks, their version of the Federal Reserve. They did this primarily because the United States had one of only seven "hard" currencies. These were the currencies that were accepted as payment for goods beyond their own borders. The U.S. dollar was pretty much the only currency accepted by most oil producing nations.
As the article mentions, central banks are now allowing regular banks to "borrow" dollars from the Federal Reserve. This would be like Bank of America buying euros or the yen. Basically these banks now become gamblers as the value of the currencies change daily. There are places in the stock market where people trade currencies and it is very risky. For the U.S. we are pegging our dollars value to the value of the foreign currencies by intertwining with them. This is complete insanity and cannot possibly have a good result.
Now as you read the article it sounded as if this was something they had to do; but, that is a lie. In fact they had discussed doing the same thing using the International Monetary Fund. I wrote about this on my blog a year ago when the IMF was discussing it (not a plug for my blog and no, I will not give the address). Want proof, here is the article.

I don't usually post in this section; but, because I didn't see anyone else discuss it, I thought I should. Peace.

While I was at work the other day, fox news was on a TV talking about this as I walked by. It was about a 5 second announcement, just enough to peak my interest to look elsewhere.....
