The world didn’t have an IMF for a few thousand years. The IMF was founded after the Second World War to take care of any short-term currency needs that countries might have. It turned out pretty quickly that they didn’t have very many as the world recovered from the war, so the IMF found other things to do. They now have thousands of employees and have manufactured jobs for themselves. They’ve not had much success, if you look back over the past 60 years. Nearly everything they’ve done was wrong. Why do we need the IMF? It’s not 1945 anymore.

I have found this website to be a very useful source of information on the economy, gold, and silver.

” Why do we need the IMF? “

One World Socialism

[arthurus]

There is also a lot of crap and socialist drek there. It is useful because it brings together what many different sources and views are out there. I like it and subscribe to their daily email.

"International Monetary Fund" sounds so much more respectable than "Taxpayer-backed Banking Cartel Slush Fund"

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

The IMF goals were to strip the United States of its gold reserves by giving it to other nations, and to merge with their industrial capabilities as well as their economic, social, educational and religious policies to facilitate a one-world government.

Every administration since has helped this proceed.

AS far as Jim is concerned, you cannot argue with success

[wolfcreek]

Yep. The Progressive movement is currently working toward it’s goal.
