When I was first approached to write about the Amero, I admit that while I had heard mention of it, I had no real knowledge of its purpose.  Since then, I have done a fair bit of research on the little Amero, exhausting my printer, my ink supply, and my stash of salted cashews. So, let me wipe the salt from my fingers and share what I have found out…

The Amero is the proposed replacement currency for the Canadian and American dollar and the Mexican peso. “Preposterous?!” Well, no, not really. And I use the word proposed, only because it has not actually come into being - not yet. 

The plan is very much to bring it into being, along with another ‘proposal’ to form the North American Union or NAU, which would effectively remove all borders and unify Canada, the USA and Mexico under one umbrella of currency and trade.

“On the day the North American Monetary Union is created - perhaps on January 1, 2010 - Canada, the United States, and Mexico will replace their national currencies  with the Amero…”

Sounds crazy? Yeah, it kinda does, because for the average Joe/Jane, there is no context for it, no reason for the Amero’s existence in the first place. That is because, for the most part, mainstream media hasn’t been talking about it. An ‘open secret’, the idea has been around at least since 1999 when Herbert G. Grubel of the Fraser Institute (right wing Canadian think tank) put pen to paper and produced “The Case for the Amero, The Economics and Politics of a North American Monetary Union”. Basically it is an argument/explanation for why the Amero is not simply an inevitability, but rather a desirable development. 

Mr. Grubel isn’t alone in this thinking. Six years later, George W. Bush, Paul Martin and Vincente Fox all met in March of 2005 to discuss what they called the ‘ Security and Prosperity Partnership’; and more recently in Montreal on August 20-21 2007 Bush met with Vincente and Stephen Harper to confirm the ‘New American Union’ agenda…..

Thoughts: Why the complicit behavior in keeping the secret? and if it truly isn’t a secret why aren’t the politicians waving it around like a kid with a new scout patch, proof positive of their hard work to better the lives of their country men and women?? What is the agenda here - creating an environment of ultimate predictability? ‘They’ (bankers) want to be able to make money on EVERYTHING. Stability, Instability, Flood, Famine, Fortune, the Future and the only way one can do that is if we are all the same. Same needs, wants, desires. Who will be the casualties of this invisible war? This secret conquering… What will life be like for people unable to streamline and become efficient as per the described Fraser Institute standard? Grubel says it quite clearly, the only other option will be obsolescence.
