Eventually ordinary people will wonder what is really going on and start to take action to preserve their wealth and their freedoms. When large sections of the world population catch on to these ideas, the manic phase of the next boom market will kick in. Will it be in Treasury bonds or in gold? Or something else? All this newly printed money has to go somewhere. New Zealand cannot be aloof from the world money problems. Excess money in Japan found its way into our housing mortgages. America is now printing Trillions of dollars. If American banks can't find borrowers in the US of A then some of it might come in this direction. Yahoo!

Jul 17, 2009, 08:42 Newsletters : 2009 Newsletters : 17 July 2009 "A Tremendous Secret" Some of you will remember the days of yore when countries would find their currency at variance with the then current value of gold and the money ratio with other countries would become strained. Usually the currency was worth less than the exchange rate. To bring things back into line with the rest of the world the country with the suspect currency would "devalue". This would be arranged in secrecy and one morning people would wake up to find their money was worth much less than the day before. Can this happen again under our present system? Some people think so. [ Visit Website ] Jul 16, 2009, 13:39 Newsletters : 2009 Newsletters : 17 July 2009 Washington Can't Call The Shots Anymore America has become accustomed to ruling the roost.

Handmade books portraying works by Neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova, as well as gold coins representing an imaginary future world currency will be given to the participants at the opening of the three-day summit. There are 10 copies of the book, commissioned by Italy's Premier Silvio Berlusconi from the Bologna-based art publishing house Fondazione Marilena Ferrari, each with a personalized dedication for the leader who receives it. The 28-inch by 17.5-inch (71-centimeter by 44.5-centimeter) Canova books were crafted at no cost by 23 Italian craftsmen using traditional techniques, the publishing house said. Each weighs 53 pounds (24 kilograms). The books' covers are decorated with white marble bas-reliefs and the volumes are bound with silk and gold thread. They include etchings and dozens of black and white photographs of Canova's artworks, including artistic close-ups of his statues. The coins, made by Belgian Luc Luycx, who designed one side of the Euro coins, are called "eurodollars," in a symbolic call for a common currency to unite Europe and the United States. They have a value of 2,800 euros ($3,900) and were produced by the United Future World Currency, a group pushing the idea of a global currency. The works will go to the leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized countries as well as to the President of the European Council Fredrik Reinfeldt and EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. The Group of Eight is Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The summit is held in the central Italian city of L'Aquila, which was struck by a powerful earthquake in April that killed nearly 300 people.
