Le fou de Paris!

Sarkozy is the sick man of Paris! It is no surprised, after all, he is hated by his own people and he will anger a lot of Americans and sound money advocates with his call for an international reserve currency to replace the US dollar. But this should not come as a surprise from a French man if one studies history. Since the days of Frederic Bastiat and Jean Baptiste Say, France has been one of the heartland of socialism and globalism to the point where a whole spectrum of the French society distrust " capitalism" and " Free market". The French government interventionism is accepted in the French society to the point where people rally on the streets when they get worried about having their retirements postponed. Rather than fighting for Liberty from the government, the French society seems to demand more government cushion and protection.

What Sarkozy and his elite bankers accolites are calling for is the establishment of a world reserve currency managed by the World Bank and a group of international bankers. Rather than having the dollar and therefore US hegemony, Sarkozy is merely asking for a " partage" of monetary influence long monopolized by the US dollar. It is all about " POWER" and the French have been hungry for it since the heydays of Napoleon Bonaparte, the predecessor of Adolf Hitler!
