Yes and have you seen that they have managed to get Laura Bush involved in pushing this?
Don’t forget Tony Blair either. He will be active in his retirement pushing the african union. The AIDS money is only a bribe to ensure Africa’s politicians sell out their citizens to the global elites. Paid for by American taxpayers, against our wishes and in opposition of our Constitution.
Appreciated.
Hey, family values don’t stop at the Nile River...
it’s where it always gets moved to.....even from over a year ago, IIRC.
I thought we'd get a little respect after the Frank Gaffney article (don't have the reference). I sent it to Hugh Hewitt who regularly has Frank on as a guest and got stunned silence. Hugh frequently poo-poos NAU/SPP speak as a loony conspiracy.
apparently, that is not to be here.
“Actually, I didn’t realize the disparity of the populations of the 3 countries.”
You can knock *several* million off Mexico’s stats.
33 million in Canada? Wonder how hard it is to become Canadian.
The author doesn't seem to recognize the implicit threat to the systems of checks and balances which make for social harmony and national union...they are explicitly either being being driven by, or employing one elite. Corporate honchos. Or to be euphemistic..."special interests." To be blunt, we used to call it "favoritism" and "Corruption" on this side of the Border.
The SPP has become controversial because of the secrecy that surrounded the project when it was first launched in 2005.This unassailable observation of the manifest reality of the SPP...should have occasioned the serious question...WHY?
Conservatives, and the Liberal government before them, haven't explained the SPP issue to voters, and so are leaving the enterprise vulnerable from a public relations standpoint.And this author STILL doesn't smell a rat?
When the Commons standing committee on international trade held hearings on the SPP in May, Council of Canadians chair Maude Barlow voiced a legitimate objection: "The SPP process has been done without any parliamentary debate or public input.And also on our side. And the Mexican side. No open legislative debates, bills, or such...until we get things like the Immigration bill...where the SPP has elements salted into it...
"To date, the only stakeholders involved or consulted in the SPP process have been representatives of big business. Apparently when it comes to the future of North America, the public doesn't count, nor do elected officials."An unusual development for countries whose supposed purpose in joining in the SPP in the first place...was their common "shared belief in freedom... and strong democratic institutions". The conduct of the SPP in all three countries actually belies this. Those "beliefs" are not strongly in evidence. Especially in either the "freedom" (not to say the preferred concept of liberty) or the "democratic institutions" elements....
The SPP practice of secrecy is fundamentally erosive and undermining of the effectiveness of representative government. The people, and their representatives, can't vote on what they are kept in the dark about.
I think Bush isn’t happy with the idea of bringing all his “trade” ideas out in the open because of the resistance that they have received in the past from the voters.
Will we ever get a decent explaination about why the moderators push these articles over to ‘chat’ as fast as possible?
We’ll get an explanation, but it’s got nothing to do with the real reason. The explanation is that everything NAU is a CT.
What I believe is the real reason.....I shouldn’t post.
They put it in chat so it is easier to find.
You don’t want it getting lost among all those Paris Hilton news articles and vanities, you know? ;-)
that’s what makes this even more absurd!
*sigh*
I have no idea what the rationale is, but did you ever run across this?
Pay special attention to the URL (fred):

bizarre
Indeed. Same should be done in the USA and Mexico.
Would you please explain why this article is in ‘chat’, so we know where to post given subjects in the future. Please.
Did the Powers-That-Be get back to you on this?
Has Fred Thompson made any statement pro or con on the SPP?
