So the other day, my roommate and i have a discussion. it goes something like this
R - So, do you know what the amero is?
M - no, what the hells an amero?
R - Well, its going to be the currency of the American union. which is to say, that US Canada and Mexico are going to join together and form one border less mass. and eliminate the constitution.
M - No fucking way.
R - Some of the bills for this have already been passed man, the Canadians are all angry about it because their economy is doing well now, and this will tank it.
M - Prove it.
R - Very well then! come watch.
Now he showed me a few you tube videos. And while i remain skeptical, this seems to be, at its face value, mildly legit. Feel free to discuss and say im wrong and all that, i may very well be. but the Whole point of this is?
To make a world government. To create a European union, north American union, and Asian union, and then... join then together. And to control it? everyone will be Chipped, with RFID.
Don't like it? going to speak out? going to rebel? They will turn your chip off.
Whats on this chip? you ask, well, it is your identity, your bank accounts, your money, everything that identifies you, and makes it possible to do ANYTHING. and they will deactivate it silently and without warning.
Heres a few links to the Videos i watched.

Now, this last one sounds a little "crazy crackpot" i know. but watch it all, its entertaining at least.

And i shall keep mine.
Yes, you're roommate is an idiot. I'm surprised that he didn't tell you that 9/11 was staged and that Christianity is a total fraud based off of a mistranslated document (The KJB), because that was in the video as well.
Essentially, this is all whackjob conspiracy theory, just slightly better thought out, giving it that paean of respectability that we recognize only because of the craziness that is our regular public discourse.
Also, the narrator of that third part is also the narrator of a video called "Zeitgeist".
Okay, all three countries would need to agree to this kind of nuttiness. I know that you all think that the US is evil and crazy, but we're not that kind of evil. The country is on a pretty nationalistic bent right now and it would be pretty difficult to get this passed by a vote in America, not to mention Canada and Mexico. All three currencies would have to start tanking to the Euro in order to make something like this reasonable, and if I'm correct the "Loonie" (I think thats what its called) is doing quite well for itself. Of course, this entire thing is supposed to be organized by a few families who have organized a banking cartel and control the world, so such rationales are supposedly unnecessary.
And what's terrible about a single world government?

So, it's another conspiracy theory.
So. So what are we doing here? Can we use facts to tell you this is silly, or is that rude?
What about a NAU would be particularly terrifying? Is Sweden a blasted hellscape because it joined the EU? No, it was always a blasted hellscape. Why would a world government be horrifying?
Also, "to control it". It what? Control by whom? Why chips? Why bother quashing dissent, and what types? Why not just institue an autocracy?

Maybe if we have enough threads and refine the argument enough, we can have it over by the 10th post.
Also, libertarian thread. Also, a Zeitgeist thread that was closed.
Can't say I blame you.
It would be controlled by a few families operating as a banking cartel, companies which have already controlled the US for a century through the federal reserve (or so says the true source material of his argument, a video called "Zeitgeist".)
By the way, he uses the banking cartel alot, a phrase which is essentially codeword for "dirty, dirty jews".
So, in other words, this is basically the 21st century version of the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
Yeah, no matter how little the US may want it, Canada wants it WAY WAY WAY less.
It would be political suicide.
Possibly physical suicide too.
The current United States money policy is to weaken the dollar as much as possible in order to make our debts to China worthless and fuel a short term boom of investment in the goal of averting a recession which we may or may not be in.
The Amero will never work until the fiscal policies of other countries become as crazy or crazier then that of the US.
This doesn't bode well for the plausibility of anything your roommate - or the makers of these vidoes - has ratling around in their imagination.
Style points.
(A little late, I know).
This is why your theory about the motives of our current monetary policy is wrong: they stopped trying to keep the dollar strong three or four years ago.
So its still the current US monetary policy right?
Still batshit insane, and just because the subprime crap started happening recently doesn't mean that the fear of a recession of any sort didn't play into the fed's plans.
Also, the initial report I heard about what the name of the unified currency would be was "PeDo" which in Spanish means Fart. Plus, ya know....paedophile...
o_O
Yeah they didn't think it through then and they haven't bothered still.
Did they mention the Law of the Sea Treaty? Or the NAFTA Superhighway?
Bonus points if they tried to connect RealID to all this as well.
If I remember the whole video went two for three, excluding the Law of the Sea treaty.
Yeah well you know what? We don't want your crummy maple syrup anyway. So why don't you take your hockey and your leaves and your Celine Dion and you just sit up there in the cold.
We never wanted to be friends anyway

Canada is more than just Ontario/Québec, just FYI. We have more than just syrup and shitty singers.
With apologies to Glenn Beck, a much better name is MexAmeriCanada.
