China Calls for Golbal Currency, the Beginning of End Times
This is how it begins…

The unusual proposal, made by central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan in an essay released Monday in Beijing, is part of China's increasingly assertive approach to shaping the global response to the financial crisis.
I saw those Left Behind movies. (I actually did. For real.) I know the signs. First comes the global currency. Then a single world-government, divided into 10 "kingdoms" for no good reason. And then everybody starts talking to everyone like characters in Jack Chick comics.
But, don't worry, we won't have to start really worrying until an impossibly charismatic and popular young politician with lots of liberal ideas comes to power.

The Euro has been showing more stability than the dollar for a couple years now. OPEC has been talking about switching to Euros instead of dollars for about a year.
