It's not my panties in a knot everytime the subject comes up.
2) Jerome, you claimed in another column that George Bush wants to, "supplant the dollar with the Amero." Your evidence for that nonsensical assertion was merely that Robert Pastor, vice chairman of the CFR task force called for the creation of an, "Amero; a currency that is proposed to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican peso."
That is evidence that Robert Pastor supports an Amero, but certainly not evidence that George Bush does. So, do you have any evidence that George Bush wants to create an Amero? Has he mentioned wanting to combine the US dollar with Canadian and Mexican currency? Has the word "Amero" ever come out of his mouth?
Corsi:
(2.) Mr. Hawkins concedes that Robert Pastor has ambitiously pursued the agenda to advocate the establishment of a new unified North American currency, called the “Amero,” designed to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican peso, much as the Euro has replaced the national currency of most EU member countries. He asks if President Bush has ever specifically advocated the creation of the Amero?
I have argued that the plan to establish the North American Union as a regional government is being advanced by the U.S. government through internal executive branch administrative action in order to keep the plan below the radar of U.S. public scrutiny. In accordance with this plan, I would argue that President Bush has intentionally avoided revealing his true plans to the American people.
If the executive branch has nothing to hide, I would encourage the office of SPP.gov in the Department of Commerce to fulfill promptly my FOIA request and release the names, working agendas, and various memoranda of understanding or other trilateral agreements already achieved, but largely unannounced to the American media, the American public, or the U.S. Congress. I cannot find a single speech where President Bush details a discussion covering the extensive new memoranda of understanding agreement being reached with Mexico and Canada or the other trilateral agreements already decided by the SPP.gov working groups, let alone the Amero. Why doesn’t President Bush or a credible spokesperson for the President come forth and charge that the multiple articles I have written on the subject are without foundation? I have gone so far as to suggest that the creation of a new regional government within the bureaucracy amounts to an executive branch coup d’etat. Certainly a charge this serious merits repudiation by a Bush administration under siege in many different areas for extra-constitutional exercise of executive branch authority.
We would also note that the updated 2006 SPP.gov listing of working groups describes a “Financial Services Working Group” that appears to be new since the June 2005 report to the leaders. The description of the Financial Services Working Group is typically top-level, without sufficient detail to determine if trilateral integration of currencies is on the agenda. We would hope that the documentation forthcoming from our FOIA request would answer these questions.
Finally, a rich and abundant economic literature (beyond Dr. Pastor) exists on creating a unified North American currency. For documentation of this point, I will just refer to one such paper, that authored by Benjamin J. Cohen of the University of California, entitled, “North American Monetary Union: A United States Perspective.” Given the broad range of issues now subject to “trilateral homogenization” by the working groups organized in SPP.gov, we believe reaching the question of the Amero with executive branch committees is at best only a matter of time.(end)
Do you think Corsi answered the question? I bolded the question and what came the closest to Corsi's answer,btw. With all his extensive research (ahem), all he can do is link to “economic literature” (a paper from a prof?)
Here's the answer, Carolyn: There is no evidence.
