FYI
IMHO just a "sign of the times." One of the many events to occur on the way to a {shudder} one-world government.

The free trade movement is not a separate entity. It is related in this country to the opposition to immigration regulation, and both by adoption or devolution are parts of the world government movement
.
On June 28, 1952, I said on the Senate floorand my remarks were reprinted under the title Free Economic System Versus Fabian Socialistic Program: The international socialism plan calls for (a) Reduction of all barriers to the flow of international trade, (b) Access to raw material of all sorts for all nations, (c) Access to markets for all nations, (d) World organization through which the nations can share freely in the supplies and the markets of the world. There can be only one result and only one final solution [if] these objectives are allowed to obtain, and that is, of course, the leveling of the living standards of the United States of America with the sweatshop-labor nations of the world.
--Senator George W. Malone
Ironically enough or not, you have many prominent members of Congress and the present administration onboard supporting the FTAA.
So intertwined is the enemy within our political process and institutions, and it isn't like folks weren't warned every step of the way.
Thank you. This is a very important topic. It's perhaps the most significant threat ever to sovereignty and self-determination for citizens of the United States.
I say this because we're not talking about 1930,40s Germany or a Japan from the same era. No, what we're talking about here will take place at our borders and on our soil. It won't look like a threat. It will be wrapped in nice pretty paper with a great big bow, but when you open it look out, it's a stinker like nothing before it.
Through NGOs, the United Nations will be up to it's chin in this effort. Socialist sell-outs will abound.
Being sold as a trade-agreement, this is nothing less than global governance brought to a nation near you. Your own!
If this passes, every soldier that died to create and protect this nation will have done so that we could give self-determination, our moral judgement, everything that we are, away.
Citizens from other nations that we do not vote for will be making the rules. People from Canada to Mexico to Columbia to Peru to Brazil and every other point in this hemisphere, will have equal say about what goes on in the United States, as you do. Sound like something you want to risk your children's future on?
Please folks, if you ever gave a damn about this nation, this is the time to stand up and be counted. LOUDLY!
I don't generally say things like this, but here goes anyway. If there were ever a righteous cause for a lynch mob, this could be the one.
Sadly, so true.
Let the border die!!!

All that money, which would be spent here on our roads, hospitals, institutions, children and generally improving the financial wherewithal of every American...gone.
And this has been done by subterfuge and corruption of our governmental agencies, the dead silent main stream media, and the public/private partnerships with NGOs and business, cutting the individual American citizen compeletly out of the process. The internationalists among us know that Americans do not want to see their country erased-- at least this generation doesn't. Thats why all the namecalling when these issues, and the issue of "free trade" is discussed.
Free Trade
Dear Editor:
Although Dick Cheney claims that on November 2nd America gave President Bush a mandate to implement his agenda for our nations future, it certainly wasnt a blank check. Moreover, the administrations vision for a badly misnamed Free Trade Area of the Americas was barely even explained to voters.
Secretary of State Colin Powell told business leaders in Sao Paolo, Brazil, that the United States was firmly committed to seeing this Pan-American free trade deal take effect early next year. But is this what Americans really want?
Negotiations for an FTAA were actually launched at the 1994 Miami Summit of the Americas by the Clinton administration. The announced intent was to expand NAFTA into a hemispheric-wide free trade zone. But the architects of this proposal have revealed that they are seeking much more than economic integration of this hemisphere. Indeed they seek political integration with a new layer of supra-government modeled after the European Union.
In their 1994 study entitled Western Hemisphere Economic Integration, published by the Institute of International Economics, Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Jeffrey Schott were candid about the ultimate aims of this drive:
The more countries that participate in integration and the wider its scope, the greater the need for some institutional mechanism to administer the arrangements and to resolve the inevitable disputes and the stronger the cause for a common legal framework.
Americans had better not go down the EU road without a lot more explanations than we have been given. Its time to tell Congress to reject any agreement for an FTAA.

The OBL and free trade crowd will be here soon enough to chastise us.
We're doomed! The sky is falling! The same arguments were made against NAFTA and once again the doom and gloomers were wrong.
Opening up markets is NOT socialist, closing them is. Free trade is economic freedom. Why are we afraid of competing against the Mexicans, Brazilians, and Argentines?
The reason for the illegal immigration is simple. Welfare and other social programs. People will no sneak over the border to make $3/hr working in a field. Their wages are supplemented in the form of free health care, food stamps, subsidized housing, welfare checks, free education. They are really making a lot more than $3/hr with all the free govt. benefits they get.
The reason that the problem of illegal immigration doesn't get fixed is that the rats want cheap votes and the republicans want cheap workers for the farmers in flyover country.
There is not free trade in Europe. Protectionism abounds there. Except for N. Korea, Europe's markets are more closed and restricted than anywhere else.
The misunderstanding of economics in this country is frightening. Trade is not a zero sum game. We are Americans and if we want to, we can compete against the mexicans, the chinese, and the indians.
Do we really want to be like N. Korea where there is virtually no trade? Or do we want to be like Hong Kong where income per capita has risen from $200 after WWII to $29,000 today?
Why do we need a secretariat to conduct "free trade"?
Why do we need a supranational governing body if trade is "free"?
Do you know what a secretariat is? Do you know the origin of global secretariats?
Life must be hell when you find yourself setting on the same side of the table as the unions and Ralph Nader.
So you think the 'working class' is only good for producing sons to fight our wars. China and Mexico haven't done us any favors.
Looks like you're right.
Evidently not!
