Thanks for the pings; I won't be able to catch up tonight, and probably for the next week. I will do so as soon as possible.

btw, I see this article's been moved to "chat."
I'm not surprised.
To: Sandy
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
That was exactly what I was hoping for: (1) COnfirmation that others have thought this might be an issue that I know are a lot smarter than I am; and (2) that the Supreme Court has interpreted that clasue in a rational sort of way.
This means for me tht no matter what the various agreements are between governments, they are not supposed to circumvent the Constitution.
Now, lets keep an eye out to see that it remans that way.
I very much appreciate your response.

Again, we have abundant proof that Congress is unbelievably lax when it comes to something as fundamental as reading or understanding the complex laws our elected legislators typically pass.
Nothing new there.

Tancredo confronts 'super-state' effort
Demands full disclosure of White House work with Mexico, Canada
Responding to a WorldNetDaily report, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of an office implementing a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that apparently could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.
As WND reported, the White House has established working groups, under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005.
The groups, however, have no authorization from Congress and have not disclosed the results of their work despite two years of massive effort within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Tancredo wants to know the membership of the SPP groups along with their various trilateral memoranda of understanding and other agreements reached with counterparts in Mexico and Canada.
Tancredo's decision has been endorsed by Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project.
"It's time for the Bush administration to come clean," Gilchrist told WND. "If President Bush's agenda is to establish a new North American union government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, then the president has an obligation to tell this to the American people directly. The American public has a right to know."
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public."
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups nor any congressional committees taking charge of oversight.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.

Tancredo's decision has been endorsed by Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project. Thanks for the ping. Now that's an interesting coalition developing. Shining the spotlight into the dark corners of political manipulations to see what scurries for cover is always good.

Things like this used to be the talk of conspiracy theorists and fringe groups, but it seems there is some definite truth to all of this, and it's very disturbing. There is cause for alarm here, boys and girls. The question is, as always, "How much alarm?" The truth of the matter (great phrase) is that we seem to have caught the government trying to slip (another?) one by us under the radar. It's a big one, but now it's more out in the open than it was.
If our Euro-Cousins are any guide, their governments tried to keep the public more or less out until they had this EU thing all wrapped up and packaged for those voting in nation-by-nation referenda. We are a long way from that and have a whole 'nother thing to keep our eye on. For starters, unlike Euros, we have a whole 'States' Rights' issue to help shield us from anything truly nutsoid.
But folks, IMHO, you should take this very seriously, and not 'dis' those who take it more seriously than you might think appropriate. (Whole lotta dat goin' on!)
Personally, I take this so seriously, that I am willing to forgive a bit of panic on the part of others and hear them out. Still learning.

My own conspiracy take is:
The elites of the US know that all these NAFTA ports and highways are to facilitate more low priced Chinese/Asian imports and will make our trade deficits much worse. This will make the dollar crash. Iran, Russia, Europeans will bring in a gold/oil standard currency to replace the USD as the world's most trusted currency. Gold will be at $3000/ounce to enable this. Oil will be $130/barrel
Our elites are heavy investors in gold right now. They are the ultimate reptilian gold bugs. This is my speculation

Bush appears to be looking beyond just North American integration, and is setting his sights further to South America. "What we're really talking about here is not a big bang. We're talking about big progress," the prime minister said.
"What kind of union might there be?" Bush said rhetorically in response to a question. "I see one based on free trade. It entails a commitment to markets and democracy, transparency and rule of law."
Closer trade ties will help sovereignty: Martin
Haven't we been saying for years, that "free trade" is being used to dissolve borders and destroy our sovereignty? The headline for this article is just newspeak, IMO.
