Illuminaty
Oct. 22, 2012

Today there has been a problem with the economy.The United States is now facing an economical disaster on a scale few nations have ever experienced. We no longer produce what we need to sustain ourselves, we import much more than we export, and we are selling off our assets and taking on massive debts to sustain a standard of living we can no longer afford. Not only was this not the way we became a superpower but it is a sure way to lose this status. The game plan of our international competitors is to render us completely dependent on foreign production, innovation and financing. In losing domestic self-sufficiency, national security and leverage – our foreign affairs will suffer greatly.The mainstream media in the United States is almost totally ignoring one of the most important information in global economics. This trend is going to cause the value of the U.S. dollar to fall dramatically and it is going to cause the cost of living in the United States to go way up. Right now, the U.S. dollar is the primary reserve currency of the world. Even though that status has been chipped away at in recent years, U.S. dollars still make up more than 60 percent of all foreign currency reserves in the world. Most international trade (including the buying and selling of oil) is conducted in U.S. dollars, and this gives the United States a tremendous economic advantage. The U.S. government has stolen $15,876,457,645,132.66 from future generations of Americans, and we continue to add well over a hundred million dollars to that total every single day. The 15 trillion dollar binge that we have been on over the past 30 years has fueled the greatest standard of living the world has ever seen, So has this wonderful prosperity that we have been enjoying, a lie? How do we know if all of this isn't real? We have been living way above our means for so long that we do not have any idea of what "normal" actually is anymore. But every debt addict hits

    The current state of the US macroeconomy is not as strong as it has been in the past. The cost of living is high, imports are high, and the overall economy is suffering. Businesses are suffering because it is cheaper to import goods than it is to produce them in the US. With this in effect, the GDP is suffering as well. Even with the tariffs and quotas that the government has put on these items coming into the country, it is still cheaper to purchase from overseas. The macroeconomy of the US is suffering as a whole.…

    Indeed, this was the Triffin dilemma, which led to the U.S. carrying a large balance of payments deficit. The consequence of any attempts to correct the balance of payments deficits, was the shortage of dollar which stomped the economic growth and destabilized the global economy. On the other hand, if attempts were not made to correct the deficit, a prolonged deficit would result in the dollar glut that eventually led to the erosion of confidence in the value of the U.S. dollar and undermined the dollar’s role in monetary system. Accordingly, as Western Europe, Japan and other countries recovered from the devastation of World War II with the U.S. help, the balance of…

    This country has seen some of the most dramatic changes in technology, the economy, and global dominance to ever occur in America’s history. Times were good during the 1920s as the economy was booming and unemployment was low. However, the market was being overinflated and the pace of economic growth could not be sustained and in 1929 the stock market started dropping significantly. The entire country turned into a panic and the whole economy was being dragged down while unemployment skyrocketed. During the 1930s, America went through the worst depression in recent history. Lawmakers scrambled to figure out how to solve this problem and introduced several programs aimed at reducing unemployment. The economy was still struggling and then Pearl Harbor was attacked. This event caused the United States to enter the war that was going on and factories started full-production of military vehicles and equipment. The technologies developed during this time period provided a means of higher efficiency to bring the country into economic and military dominance in the post-war world.…

    The strong dollar is a dollar that could be exchanged for a large or increasing amount of foreign currency.

    It seems that I can’t turn on the news without being bombarded with opinions and gossip about the so called inevitable decline of the United States as a superpower. Every day there is more bad news about the United States that only appears to confirm this idea. The country appears chaotic, with civil unrest in certain areas, government shutdowns, weak economic recovery, and the ever evolving terrorist threat that has placed our foreign affairs under constant scrutiny, as well as caused our country to spy on itself resulting in scandal.…

    “When the U.S. dollar was introduced on April 2, 1792, it was based on the peso with the exchange rate of 1 dollar to 1 peso” (“What is the Mexican peso?, n.d.). Since that time the exchange rate of Mexican peso to United States dollar has changed considerably. Due to supply and demand of products produced by either country the exchange will rise and fall. Consequently products produced by either country result in a higher or lower demand for that product resulting in the amount that the currency is worth in that country when exchanged for another countries currency. For example, if Mexico produced a product that was in high demand in the United States the Mexican Peso’s exchange rate would rise and the United States dollar would fall because it would take more dollars to equal 1…

    Americans may argue with each other often about the right way to proceed, but eventually they come together to create a solitary message of freedom that is rare in the world today. Imperialism then takes this message to others around the world. This can even be seen in the use of the American dollar, which is the official currency in 9 nations other than the US around the world right now. More than 60% of foreign exchange reserves is held in US dollars as well.…

    The United States is still managing to continue on its downward spiral as far as the economy goes. Actually, it is more like a rollercoaster with small hills. We will appear to be getting better or see the light at the end of the tunnel, but then we drop again. We are also becoming less and less competitive. In 2008, before Obama took office, we ranked first in the Global Competitive Index. For the fourth year in a row now, we have ranked below that, last year coming in fifth and this year, in seventh. It is said to be attributed to the lack of trust in our government and in our politicians. It is also because of our large debt. We continue to borrow trillions of dollars a year.…

    The name of the article that I choose to do my article review on is called Imagining the Dollar Without Its Privilege. This is a very interesting article writing by Eduardo Porter for the New York Times on October 15, 2013. This article is all about the uncertainty of the worth of the U.S dollars and what it might mean to our nation and the rest of the world. A very interesting quote from this article made by George Soros is “the dollar is the weakest currency except for all others”. The article addresses concerns around the world about the U.S currency which has been downgraded for the first time in history by the rating industry Standard & Poor’s. The article talks about how the U.S dollars is the world reserve currency, which currently holds two-thirds of the world’s foreign reserves (mostly treasury bonds) and also half of the world foreign debt securities. Furthermore the article states that with all the internal issues the U.S is facing with Republicans in Congress threatening default as a leverage in order to eliminate Obamacare, the rest of the world are shifting in finding an alternative for the dollar. The article discusses some upside for the dollar losing its reserve status, stating that “the job of reserve currency is too big for the dollar to shoulder alone”, however it also goes into detail about some of the disadvantage of the dollar loosing value and the world shifting to a multipolarity, stating the world might be financially riskier.…

    What is the Illuminati? Is the Illuminati even real? I had never heard of it until my junior year of high school. One of my teachers mentioned the word in class. She associated it with some of my favorite celebrities, so I immediately began questioning. Although what I heard about these music artists disappointed me, I suddenly became very intrigued with this fascinating, mysterious, alarming theory, so I went home and began my research. I found that many people feel that the Illuminati is a secret society that revolves around wealth and power. Through popular culture, known celebrities claim their membership of the society and have displayed hidden messages and secret meanings not meant to be relayed within song lyrics and music videos.…
