You just had to bring up the name Rockefeller, didn't you? LOL! That name has given me heartburn for a long time. While googling the regionalization link above, I ran across a rant I went on about the rejoing of UNESCO. Rockefellers are the globalists' US Pac-man, and I ranted on them quite a bit. One snippet from that thread:

"...The National Trails System Act of 1968 gave the Service responsibility for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, running some 2,000 miles from Maine to Georgia...." These trails actually start in Mexico and go into Canada, all part of the plan to break down the international borders. Part of the plan is for the Indigenous Peoples on this continent to have unhindered right of passage from one country to another. [Mentioned in the State Department plan entitled 'Summit of the Americas 2001' http://usinfo.state.gov/regional/ar/summit/act.htm ] Joint and reciprocal military operations have been planned for years, as well.]

More from the Summit of the Americas 2001:

-- Strengthen preparation, education and training for the world of work so that an increasing number of workers can improve their standard of living and, together with employers, have the opportunity to benefit from *** hemispheric integration. .....

-- Instruct the Organization of American States (OAS) and request the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and World Bank, together with the other national and multilateral technical and financial cooperation agencies operating in the Hemisphere, to provide, within their respective areas of action, support for programs and initiatives that are consistent with the goals, objectives, and actions proposed in this Chapter of the Plan of Action. To this end, the IDB is encouraged to work with member countries to substantially increase the share of new lending for primary and secondary education, by more than doubling the quantity over the next three years, compared to the previous three years. We also request that the IDB establish a **** special regional fund for education in the Hemisphere, utilizing the existing resources of this institution. This fund would support efforts to raise educational standards and performance throughout the Region......

Migrant Workers

Governments will:

-- Reaffirm that the promotion and protection of human rights and the fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction by reasons of race, gender, language, nationality, or religion, is a priority for the international community and is the responsibility of every state.

-- Comply with the applicable international human rights instruments and, consistent with the legal framework of each country, guarantee the human rights of all migrants, including migrant workers and their families.

-- Seek full compliance with, and protection of, the human rights of all migrants, including migrant workers, and their families, and adopt effective measures, including the strengthening of public awareness, to prevent and eradicate violations of human rights and eliminate all forms of discrimination against them, particularly racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance.

-- Reaffirm the sovereign right of each State to formulate and apply its own legal framework and policies for migration, including the granting of permission to migrants to enter, stay, or exercise economic activity, in full conformity with applicable international instruments relating to human rights and in a spirit of cooperation.

-- Seek full respect for, and compliance with, the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, especially as it relates to the right of nationals, regardless of their immigration status, to communicate with a consular officer of their own State in case of detention.

-- Protect the rights of all migrant workers and their families, consistent with each country's internal legal framework, by taking steps, in case they do not exist, to: 1) provide, with respect to working conditions, the same legal protection as for national workers; 2) facilitate, as appropriate, the payment of full wages owed when the worker has returned to his/her country, and allow them to arrange the transfer of their personal effects; 3) recognize the rights of citizenship and nationality of the children of all migrant workers who may be entitled to such rights, and any other rights they may have in each country; 4) encourage the negotiation of bilateral or multilateral agreements, regarding the remission of social security benefits accrued by migrant workers; 5) protect all migrant workers and their families, through law enforcement and information campaigns, from becoming victims of exploitation and abuse from alien smuggling; 6) prevent abuse and mistreatment of all migrant workers by employers or any authorities entrusted with the enforcement of migration policies and border control; and 7) encourage and promote respect for the cultural identity of all migrants.

-- Support the activities of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights with regard to the protection of the rights of migrant workers and their families, particularly through the Special Rapporteur for Migrant Workers.

Strengthening Municipal and Regional Administrations

Governments will:

-- Within their legal framework and within a reasonable time, establish or strengthen mechanisms for the participation of groups of society in the process of local and other subnational decision-making, such as open public hearings and public budget reviews, and promote transparency in local and other subnational Government finance operations.

-- In accordance with legislation at all levels, provide for financing options for local and other subnational Governments, including groups of local Governments, such as through transfers of national revenue, access to private capital markets, and authority for raising revenue locally, in order to expand the delivery of quality services as well as provide for training opportunities to strengthen local and other subnational administrative capabilities.

-- In accordance with circumstances and the legal framework of each country, study the possible transfer of additional national governmental functions to local and other subnational levels as well as the possibility for enhancing such authorities.

-- Share their experiences and information from existing and future programs supported by multilateral and bilateral cooperation institutions such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the World Bank, to facilitate the implementation of this initiative. ..... http://usinfo.state.gov/regional/ar/summit/act.htm

I'm just skimming, and didn't read it all. Looks like the NWO plan is pretty much right on schedule.

I know plenty of pilots that do carry guns on board (legally). Just because some are rejected doesn't mean "pilots can't carry guns."

Peter Gadiel, the leader of the "9/11 Families for a Secure America," is also on the Board of Directors of FAIR. This is a splinter group of 9/11 families formed to focus narrowly on an anti-immigrant agenda, much of which is not related to the facts of 9/11 or the findings of the 9/11 commission.

The fact that its board members lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks does not change the fact that the 9/11 hijackers were here LEGALLY. Once again, THE DRIVERS LICENSE PROVISIONS PROPOSED BY FAIR AND SENSENBRENNER WOULD NOT HAVE PREVENTED THE 9/11 HIJACKERS FROM GETTING DRIVER'S LICENSES.

9/11 kin riled by letter

BY JAMES GORDON MEEK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - Several relatives of 9/11 victims were angry yesterday that their names were incorrectly attached to a letter saying they opposed the intelligence reform bill. The letter put out by 9/11 Families for a Secure America stated, "We urge [Congress] to let the bill die ... rather than further weaken the immigration and border security provisions." The bill's opponents are demanding it include controversial immigration provisions. Several relatives quit FSA yesterday because of the letter...The letter also upset widow Monica Gabrielle, whose name was on the letter without her approval.

"I didn't agree with the position they took," she said before quitting.

The FSA letter was issued by the group's president, Peter Gadiel who claimed it represented the views of 300 families. Gadiel did not return a call for comment yesterday.

Another group of 9/11 families, Voices of Sept. 11, announced plans yesterday to hold vigils at Ground Zero in support of the bill.
