It was not some huge conspiracy that was covered up though. It was all done very publicly, and the citizens voted on it. Little hard to swallow this all happening 'under wraps' just because someone claims that it is so..

I agree. Not saying that Corsi is correct -- as a matter of fact, I think that he may be rather "out there". However, I never heard about "the case of Methenex vs. The State of CA" that he talks about. But if he is correct on this one small point -- that "had Methenex won, the State would have been liable" --this is an enormous issue well worth investigating.

NGO's (some of which are called "think-tanks")have a huge influence on public policy. The issues then get reframed (or repackaged) by politicians for our consumption. Just take a look at what the Carnegie Institute has to say about the US vs. Euro attitudes toward "Human Rights" in the International arena: http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20051101fabook84613/michael-ignatieff/american-exceptionalism-and-human-rights.html

Do you think that this represents the views of most Freepers?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. If you are asking if most FReepers would want the U.S. to waive its sovereign rights to some 'international' legislative or judicial group, the answer would be no.
