The words "population control" bring a thought process to bear on any person contemplating the phrase...usually connected to the idea of simple demographic overpopulation. But that is only one part of the equation - population control is not just limiting the overall number of humans that exist on the planet at any given moment to "sustainable" levels. It's also about CONTROLLING the behavior, thought processes, attitudes, and beliefs of the population as well.
And the most powerful means of controlling the people, is to control the primary means of interacting and exchanging goods and services amongst each other to obtain the necessities of surviving...control the money, you control the people.
Which, of course, is the primary contention of the "Conspiratorial view" of history.
Two quotes, one idea:
- Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws.
- Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws. - Mayer Amschel Rothschild
Many NWO conspiracy theories have speculated that the recent economic downturn was deliberately instigated by the International Central Banker's deliberate manipulation of the interest rates for institutions to borrow and lend out their fiat currency. Combined with fractional reserve lending and an exacerbated business cycle due to "Bubbles" of mal-investments (the dot.com bubble, real estate bubble...), inflation and economic recessionary conditions all contribute to the destruction of the American dollar.
The idea is that once the dollar is no longer meaningful as a medium of exchange, we the sheeple will than be ready to except a new currency, paving the way for our international banking elite to than introduce the "Amero" - the North American Region's version of the Euro.
This is a synthesis of the popularized view of the NWO "conspiracy theory" regarding the current economic crisis.
Niki Raapana, founder and of the Anti-Communitarian League, linked to an article on her blog, Living Outside the Dialectic, that digs a little deeper, and reveals that perhaps our financial overlords won't even bother with implementing the Amero...instead, they plan to destroy the Euro (Apparently, Greece is the first domino to begin falling...) destroy the dollar, and institute an entirely different scheme of "money."
And it ties in oh so neatly with the environmentalist agenda. It's called Carbon Currency.
Critics who think that the U.S. dollar will be replaced by some new global currency are perhaps thinking too small.
On the world horizon looms a new global currency that could replace all paper currencies and the economic system upon which they are based.
The new currency, simply called Carbon Currency, is designed to support a revolutionary new economic system based on energy (production, and consumption), instead of price. Our current price-based economic system and its related currencies that have supported capitalism, socialism, fascism and communism, is being herded to the slaughterhouse in order to make way for a new carbon-based world.
No wonder the primary doomsayer for global warming is invested so heavily into carbon trading.
Forces are already at work to position a new Carbon Currency as the ultimate solution to global calls for poverty reduction, population control, environmental control, global warming, energy allocation and blanket distribution of economic wealth.
Unfortunately for individual people living in this new system, it will also require authoritarian and centralized control over all aspects of life, from cradle to grave.
What is Carbon Currency and how does it work? In a nutshell, Carbon Currency will be based on the regular allocation of available energy to the people of the world. If not used within a period of time, the Currency will expire (like monthly minutes on your cell phone plan) so that the same people can receive a new allocation based on new energy production quotas for the next period.
Because the energy supply chain is already dominated by the global elite, setting energy production quotas will limit the amount of Carbon Currency in circulation at any one time. It will also naturally limit manufacturing, food production and people movement.
He who has the gold...errr, I mean carbon, makes the rules.
Local currencies could remain in play for a time, but they would eventually wither and be fully replaced by the Carbon Currency, much the same way that the Euro displaced individual European currencies over a period of time.
When the day comes that our Government tells the masses that they are instituting a "carbon" or "energy" based currency or monetary system, you will surely know that the NWO was not just a silly fantasy of paranoids on the internet.
Does this all sound like madcap insanity? The article also provides a variety of links to articles published within the last decade, all contemplating the idea. But I would perhaps not call them speculative guesses...but trial balloons to get the masses used to the idea that will soon be our reality.

From 2004: A New Currency
From 2007: When Carbon is Currency
From 2008: Towards a Common Carbon Currency: Exploring the prospects for integrated global carbon markets.

Here's the official website of the folks pushing this idea: Technocracy Inc.
Of course, the real goal here is total population control...which is what the controllers of doling out carbon currency would eventually gain.
If you study the card above, you will also note that is serves as a universal identity card and contains a microchip. This reflects Technocracy’s philosophy that each person in society must be meticulously monitored and accounted for in order to track what they consume in terms of energy, and also what they contribute to the manufacturing process.
This idea of a carbon currency certainly seems to tie all of the "cospiracy theory" angles together quite nicely. Still think the conspiracy theories are not true? I'll bet you a million carbons...
The article's conclusion:
Where there is smoke, there is fire. Where there is talk, there is action....
...This article intended to show that
* Carbon Currency is not a new idea, but has deep roots in Technocracy
* Carbon Currency has grown from a continental proposal to a global proposal
* It has been consistently discussed over a long period of time
* The participants include many prominent global leaders, banks and think-tanks
* The context of these discussions have been very consistent
* Today’s goals for implementing Carbon Currency are virtually identical to Technocracy’s original Energy Certificates goals.
Of course, a currency is merely a means to an end. Whoever controls the currency also controls the economy and the political structure that goes with it.
