Something very strange is happening... (Ad)

What a "Mar-a-Lago Accord" could mean for the U.S. dollar While protests dominate the news... hardly anyone noticed when the U.S. Senate granted sweeping powers to a Harvard economist who has some dangerous ideas about the U.S. dollar. Now, he's issued a blueprint for what a coming "Mar-a-Lago Accord" could look like. One analyst who predicted the 2008 crisis says this plan could see the dollar fall in value by 40% in months and become a national nightmare.
