Betrayal of Sovereignty
by JD Nutt, IG Web-Editor
How the Council of Foreign Relations has seduced all parts of the government of the United States to betray it's citizens with speculation of monetary integration.
(Archived Report) - Sunday, November 26th, 2007 - Oklahoma City, OK. – The Council on Foreign Relations has introduced speculation of the monetary integration of the Amero Dollar by extending the publication of "Regional Monetary Integration". 
Author Peter B. Kenen , Adjunct Senior Fellow in international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations and Ellen Meade, Associate Professor, American University have penned "Regional Monetary Integration". The publication surveys the prospects for regional monetary integration in various parts of the world. 
Beginning with a brief review of the theory of optimal currency areas, it goes on to examine the structure and functioning of the European Monetary Union, then turns to the prospects for monetary integration elsewhere in the world such as North America, South America, and East Asia.
"Regional Monetary Integration" emphasizes the economic and institutional requirements for successful monetary integration, including the need for a single central bank in the case of a full-fledged monetary union and the corresponding need for multinational institutions to safeguard the bank’s independence and assure its accountability. 
The book concludes with a chapter on the implications of monetary integration for the United States and the U.S. dollar. Inside the book cover, it states the book was first published in 2008. Noting that chapter five deals with "Monetary Union in the Americas", and chapter seven is titled "The Outlook and Implications for the United States".
Pages 102 and 103 provide exchange rate classifications. When the Euro dollar was introduced in Germany in 1999, the citizens were led to believe that the exchange rate would be one to one. While they may have received this exchange rate at the banks, the retailers and merchants drove the price of goods up. Retail items that once may have been purchased for 10 DM,  weeks later sold for 15 Euros due to currency imbalances. When the Euro dollar was introduced, .75 cents would buy one Euro dollar. Today the cost is $1.49.
At the Council of Foreign Relations website, the publication "Regional Monetary Integration" is listed in their book section for sale in the amount of 24.99 US dollars. The book is also available thru Amazon.Com.
Charles Goodhart, of the London School of Economics provided his surmise on the publication...
“This book provides a clear and balanced account of the analytics, historical record, current state, and future outlook for countries adopting some form of regional monetary integration, ranging from a currency board system through de jure dollarization to a single currency area, such as the euro zone. Given the practical and political importance of the subject, the clarity of presentation (no thickets of equations), and the wisdom of the authors, this is a book that should be very widely read, by students, practitioners, and policy makers, as well as by other academics.” - Charles Goodhart
"Regional Monetary Integration" is nothing more than a roadmap for the removal of the United States Dollar and replacing it with the Amero Dollar which has been minted at the US Denver Mint.
According to Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, by the year 2010, the annual growth in combined national income from Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the so-called BRIC countries) will be greater than that from the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy combined. 
The Middle East Economic Survey published a report  in March 2007, on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) monetary union. The six Gulf States (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE) plan to introduce a single currency by 2010.
On November 12th, 2007, Deutsche Bank officially opened its new branch in the Qatar Financial Centre, from where it will be offering investment banking and Private Wealth Management services.
Consequently, their will be no need for an American Dollar on the international market as we know it today. Ergo... the Amero.
