Will this be the beginning of the new financial world order? I'm with Soros on the whole drug decriminalization thing, but if 10% of this is true, he's the devil incarnate.
SOROS CONVENES �BRETTON WOODS II�
By Pete Papaherakles
Internationalist billionaire George Soros is holding his international conference April 8 to April 11 at Bretton Woods, N.H., the noted birthplace of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, where he plans to �rearrange the entire financial order,� as he noted in a November 2009 article in The Japan Times Online.
This �Bretton Woods II� comes along just as the Trilateral Commission will be meeting at the same time in Washington, D.C. With an apparent goal of creating nothing less than a new global economy, Soros is spending $50 million in New Hampshire to bring together up to 200 academic, business and government policy leaders under his Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET).
As AFP goes to press, the attendees are to include ex-Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and World Bank executive and Nobel Prize winner in economics Joseph Stiglitz.
The conference is slated for the Mount Washington Hotel, site of the historic 1944 Bretton Woods conference, which established the post-World War II international financial architecture.
Soros chose this site because he expects his proposed reforms to be as radical as those promoted by British economist John Maynard Keynes, the much-praised �genius� of the original Bretton Woods project.
Keynesian economics have been portrayed as a cure to the Western world�s postwar devastation, in that governments were liberated of money creation restrictions imposed by the gold standard, even while global financiers controlled much of the world�s gold like they do now. Governments, under the new paradigm after the war, were encouraged to promote economic growth and macroeconomic stability by creating more debt-based money for everything that ailed the economy�debt that has brought most of the world�s economies to the brink of bankruptcy.
Now Soros comes along as the new Keynes to save the day by proposing another miracle solution to our problems, couched in lofty doublespeak such as �reform,� �cooperation� and �equal participation.� Soros is proposing the end of sovereignty as we know it.
�Reorganizing the world order will need to extend beyond the financial system,� Soros wrote in his opinion piece.

Will Bretton Woods 2 Bring Change?
by grtv
Some of the most influential world leaders met at Bretton Woods to discuss the global economy, but what impact can this panel really have in the end?
The Centre for Research on Globalization's Andrew Gavin Marshall compares and contrasts this congregation's conversation with the historic Bretton Woods get-together of 1944 and presumes it is a precursor to the upcoming G-20 meeting. |

I've been confused about something for a while. Are the anti-NWO types for or against the original Bretton Woods? Going by the OP, I'd assume they were against it.
On the other hand, I've heard anti-NWO people bemoan that Nixon took the US off the gold standard. But wasn't that regarded as being a very anti-Bretton Woods thing to do?

I put the dates in the OP, but I guess I never did read up much on the guy before. |

The point is that it's a government/private banking monopoly on the money supply either way. There should be competing currencies allowed (including silver). It also wasn't really "gold backed" in the sense that they could just debase the currency any time they wanted with deficit spending. By the time Nixon went off the gold standard, the dollar had already inflated hundreds of % compared to gold (ie. the original $35/ounce price). |

I'm sure the Freemasons, Zionists and lizard men were all at Bretton Woods II as well. |

So the meeting really didn't happen? All the press that reported it and all the people mentioned in it are in a conspiracy to fool us that this meeting took place?
Zionists were certainly there, but if you believe in the foregoing and lizard men, you should probably have your reality testing checked out by a competent professional.
However, there was one report that Elvis was seen leaving the building!  |
