What is the Amero, really?

Admin — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:30:29 +0000

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.

Immigration and the amero

The adoption of the amero is widely being touted as part of a larger plan to unify Canada, Mexico and the United States. But part and parcel of that unification is the likelihood that immigration between the three countries will become much easier, at least for professionals. Will adoption of the amero solve America’s illegal immigration woes, or further accelerate Canada’s brain drain?

Vincente Fox discusses Amero on Larry King Live

The amero got a big boost on October 11th when former Mexican president Vicente Fox revealed to CNN’s Larry King that the amero is “on it’s way.” Fox said the unified North American currency was a “long term plan,” and said that plans for tighter trade between different regions of North and South America had been going well until Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez came to power. According to Fox, Chavez has tried to continuously “combat the idea and destroy the idea.”

The view from the Left

Maude Barlow heads the Council of Canadians, a left wing think tank. The CAC is opposed to the amero, as put forth in Barlow’s book “Too Close for Comfort.” Barlow contends that this new economic order won’t benefit anyone but the elite. Of course, the Council of Canadians and the Fraser Institute, who came up with the idea for the amero in the first place, have long locked horns over policy.

North American Security Plan and amero linked?

Plans are in the works between Mexico, Canada and the United States for a North American Security Plan, ostensibly for better protection against terrorism and other threats. But some are worried that this plan, along with the amero and other free trade initiatives, will end the sovereignty of Canada and Mexico. ProgressiveU.org writes that the amero, along with other steps to bring the countries closer together, will create a “North American Union” where the United States reigns supreme. Tin-foil hat ravings or cause for concern? You be the judge.

Strategists say Amero “coming in ten years”

Canadian company Bankintroductions.com, which specializes in international banking cstrategies and currency consulting, is advising its clients that the amero could be the defacto North American currency within 10 years.

The amero would compete against other regional currency blocks,” they said. At present, with the Canadian dollar approaching par, more talk for an amero currency unit will become popular in Canada.”

Simply put, the Amero is a theoretical unified currency for North America. First proposed by Fraser Institute, on of Canada’s leading right-wing think tanks, the amero is modeled after the Euro, Europe’s currency introduced in 2000 to replace a mish-mash of local monies with one portable bank note. Canada, the United States and Mexico, who previously signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other agreements meant to facilitate free trade, would be the first countries to fall under the Amero umbrella, though some advocate making it the currency of all of the Americas.

American dollar woes could bring the Amero quicker than expected

With Canada’s dollar on par with the United States for the first time in decades, it’s possible that the ailing financial giant could make moves to accelerate adoption of the amero, a comprehensive North American currency. Such a move would get rid of exchange rates and would allow the various countries to take advantage of easier access to resources they all need.
