So today in one of my MCSE courses we were waiting for everyone to arrive and some people were talking politics with the teacher. This is when the seemingly normal mild-mannered teacher revealed himself to be a religious nutjob conspiracy theorist (why are those so common in IT?) and after going on about how Jews control the world etc., he decided to go into more detail about "something revolutionary" that would happen later in the year, which he had mentioned before. So he went on about how America isn't really moral because putting capitalism before all else is inherently immoral because money is the root of all evil (or all kinds of evil depending on which version of the Bible you reference) etc. and a bunch of other crazymantalk until he got to the interesting part.
This conspiracy theory is based on the idea that any Federal Reserve-type system is inevitably doomed to collapse, the only things that can be controlled are when and how hard, and the current economic crisis was planned long in advance, and it's just getting started (he hints at the Bible again so it can be assumed this crisis is to be significantly worse than ever before). So eventually the US dollar drops so low it isn't worth dirt and there's no hope of ever paying off the debt. He hints that the euro plummets too. The wealthy, in-the-know people (might as well call them the Illuminati) who have been handed nice fat wads of bailout money then ditch US currency like a hot stinky potato for gold and investments in the remaining stable economies, and then to erase the debt, a new currency must be created. This currency is worth a lot, ranking up with the pound.
Now since I was enjoying his ramblings and I know that in conspiracy theorizing you get bonus points for linking theories, I said "You must be talking about the Amero"
He then looks at me like I've escaped the Matrix and says "Ah, see, [GameboyRMH] knows something..."
So then the Illuminati turn their gold and foreign investments back into Ameros and are suddenly wealthy again. From this you could assume that average joes are E36 M3 out of luck and oligarchy ensues, but he says that this makes Obama look like a hero, so somehow everyone recovers (maybe trickle-down economics are real in this conspiracy? Maybe that's pushing it 
). He says this will happen sometime around June this year.
Anyhow it's very interesting and apart from the totally crazy racist/religious nutjob bits, quite plausible.
