UN Calls for Global Currency: Uh-Oh!

Time to start quoting, wildly, passages from Revelations with an A-board on your back?

People who believe that there is an elite group of financial and political billionaires conspiring to enslave the World underneath one currency, one government and one ruling leader will be in one way saddened that their fears have been confirmed by the UN, and in another breath, overjoyed that they can say, "I told you they were going to do this". Check out The Telegraph article if you think 'they' (lizards/aliens/cockroaches/masons *delete as appropriate) are organising a One World Government...or not. I am not sure, but I don't think this is what Pope Benedict XVI had in mind when he wrote Caritas in Veritate.

We have been quite used to political leaders and the media describing the recession as a 'global' recession. We are used to hearing about the 'global' economy. Both Gordon Brown and Tony Blair have been banging on about 'globalisation' and the 'world economy' for ages. It is, of course, a pretty intangible thing, until you make the next giant leap forward to the 'world currency' which would 'save' nations and individuals from economic hardship. Alarm bells will be ringing in the bedsits of conspiracy theorists, however, as no suggestion as to how this new 'currency' would operate have been released. Most conspiracy theorists, I think, will assume that the most efficient, quickest and easiest way in which you could operate a new global currency would be if cash did not exist at all, but instead, people were micro-chipped, perhaps in the hand or the forehead so that buying and selling is made easier and convenient...And then they start talking about the Book of Revelations...and then and only then do they buy an A-board...How would a new global currency affect buskers? More importantly, how would a new global currency affect Church Building Restoration Funds?

Check out the comments. Telegraph readers are going ballistic! Ironically, all the currencies on the markets seem to be going up. I'll never understand economics...What will be the name of the new currency? The Yen? No, too culturally exclusive. Germany ditched their currency and accepted the Euro ages ago, so it looks like 'The Mark' is available again...
