oh f-ing great. what we need is the UN Fed doing monetary policy! Oh great, since Zimbabwe is in charge of the UN Commission on Substainable Development, would it not make sense to put them in charge of the Global Currency!

Who needs national sovereignty?
Who needs a Constitution?

Imagine the fun we could have if we got rid of all our pesky liberties and rights!

This comedy act we call a government is not an accident. Its all on purpose and was probably planned decades ago.

I am a slow learner, non-believer in conspiracy, but this has become quite obvious what is happening is intentional.

I am afraid you are wrong — It’s being done on purpose. Bring down the dollar, bring down America. A George Soros wet dream for decades.

Russia and China are scheduled to hold another set of joint war games this summer (2009). They've been doing it every other year since 2005.

From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."

War Games: Russia, China Grow Alliance
September 23, 2005

In foreign policy it’s critical to “know thine enemy.” So American policymakers should be aware that Russia and China are inching closer to identifying a common enemy — the United States.

The two would-be superpowers held unprecedented joint military exercises Aug. 18-25. Soothingly named “Peace Mission 2005,” the drills took place on the Shandong peninsula on the Yellow Sea, and included nearly 10,000 troops. Russian long-range bombers, the army, navy, air force, marine, airborne and logistics units from both countries were also involved.

Moscow and Beijing claim the maneuvers were aimed at combating terrorism, extremism and separatism (the last a veiled reference to Taiwan), but it’s clear they were an attempt to counter-balance American military might.

Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants. As the Pravda.ru Web site announced, “the reconciliation between China and Russia has been driven in part by mutual unease at U.S. power and a fear of Islamic extremism in Central Asia.”

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
Reuters: Aug 17, 2007

CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.

"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.

Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.

The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.

Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

Reasonably smart people, with reasonably smart advisers would come to the right conclusion at least some of the time.

The fact that Obama and his team are soooooo wrong about everything makes me believe that it has to be on purpose. He's getting the results he wants. He's not "wrong" -- he's evil.

I think I’m going to be sick. It’s like waking up on another planet and not being able to get your bearings.
