Los Angeles, CA (Oct. 10, 2007) -- Speaking on the Larry King show, former Mexican President Vicente Fox confirmed every assertion made by Jerome Corsi in his new book, NY Times bestseller "The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada" (WND Books, ISBNs 0-9790451-4-2, $25.95, July 2007). Not only did Fox admit that he and George W. Bush have "agreed" to create a common currency, the Amero, he contended that a North American Union is "inevitable"

In an interview last night on CNN’s “Larry King Live,” the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, confirmed the existence of a government plan to create the amero as a new regional currency to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican Peso.

It possibly was the first time a leader of Mexico, Canada or the U.S. openly confirmed a plan to create a regional currency. Fox explained the current regional trade agreement is intended to evolve into other previously hidden aspects of integration.

According to a transcript published by CNN, King, near the end of the broadcast, asked Fox a question e-mailed from a listener, a Ms. Gonzalez from Elizabeth, N.J.: “Mr. Fox, I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency?”

Fox answered in the affirmative, admitting he and President Bush had agreed to pursue the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas “ a free-trade zone extending throughout the Western Hemisphere – and that part of the plan was to institute a regional currency from Canada to the tip of South America.

“Long term, very long term,” he said. “What we proposed together, President Bush and myself, it’s ALCA, which is a trade union for all the Americas.”

ALCA is the acronym for the Area de Libre Comercio de las Americas, the name of the FTAA in Spanish.

King, evidently startled by Fox’s revelation of the currency, asked pointedly, “It’s going to be like the euro dollar, you mean?”

“Well, that would be long, long term,” Fox repeated.

Fox noted the FTAA plan had been thwarted by Hugo Chavez, the radical socialist president of Venezuela.

“Everything was running fluently until Hugo Chavez came,” Fox commented. “He decided to combat the idea and destroy the idea.”

Fox explained that he and Bush intended to proceed incrementally, establishing FTAA as an economic agreement first and waiting to create an amero-type currency later “ a plan Fox also suggested was in place for NAFTA itself.

“I think the process to go, first step is trading agreement,” Fox said. “And then further on, a new vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA.”

The dollar is down and will keep going down... later, USA can become balkanized like the URSS... and after PO and a recession, there may be desperate plans, including one for a united currency.

My point is: in the Americas we should be discussing about more important matters that what name and design we use for our illusionary paper money... and who will print this "money" anyway?

I think US citizens are making too much of a fuss out of ALCA/amero.

If it happens, it'll take a few decades to roll out (compare to EEC->EC->EU->EMU->Euro->single constitution). So it won't even necessarily happen in your lifetime, even if the process started more than 10 years ago.

When it does, what happens?

One idea: US Fed (future ALCA fed, still residing in New York) will have an access to a much larger money printing press and can inflate the economy for a couple of decades more. More debt based consumerism and Reaganomics without a care in the world.

In addition, US can steal the remaining oil of Mexico (not much) and natgas+oil of Canada (still useful).

US citizens will also have a larger access to minimum wage burger flippers and condo cleaners, so prices of services should stay low.

Also, US will have more money for a bigger army, more guns, bigger bombs and then you can bully anybody and everybody in the world, including the future Asian Alliance Smile

No need to fear the China syndrome anymore, problem solved!

So what is there to fear? Loss of sovereignty? Do I need to even comment on that? Smile

Like a union of tigers against field mice, this is yet another example of wag the dog fearmongering that supplants reason in the West.

Forget the Union of the West. What the USA needs to do is quickly forge an economic union with Argentina. Of course, an economic union with all of the Americas wold follow.

Listen. Start with Argentina. Argentina has more fairly recent experience in economic meltdowns than most other countries. The USA could gain immeasurably from their experience, and in fact, we could let Argentine bankers manage the merger thereby saving the USA the gruesome ordeal of an uncertain slow collapse. We could call the new currency... Amero!
