The hottest issue at the grass roots is illegal immigration and what our government is not doing to stop it. The question most frequently heard is, "Why doesn't the Bush administration get it?"
Maybe the Bush administration doesn't want to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants and plans to solve the problem by just declaring them all legal through amnesty and guest-worker proposals. Maybe the Bush administration is pursuing a globalist agenda. Consider this chronology.
On March 23, 2005, President Bush met at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, with Vicente Fox of Mexico and Paul Martin of Canada in what they called a summit. The three heads of state then drove to Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where they issued a press release announcing their signing of an agreement to form the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
On May 17, 2005, the Council on Foreign Relations issued a 59-page document outlining a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter" to achieve "the freer flow of people within North America."
This document is full of language spelling out an "integrated" strategy to achieve an "open border for the movement of goods and people" within which "trade, capital, and people flow freely." The document calls for "a seamless North American market," allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access," "totalization" (the code word for putting illegal immigrants into the U.S. Social Security system), massive U.S. foreign aid, and even "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution."
Tying this document into the Bush-Fox-Martin March 23 Summit, the Council of Foreign Relations stated that the three men on that day "committed their governments" to the North American community goal, and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details.
On June 9, 2005, Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Richard Lugar, R-Ind., held a friendly committee hearing that featured task force member Robert Pastor, a professor at American University and author of the 2001 book "Toward a North American Community" (Institute for International Economics, $28). He revealed further details of the plan for a "continental perimeter," including "an integrated continental plan for transportation and infrastructure that includes new North American highways and high-speed rail corridors."
Pastor asserted that President Bush endorsed North American integration in the Guanajuato Proposal of February 16, 2001, in which Bush and Fox promised that "we will strive to consolidate a North American economic community." Bush followed up on April 22, 2001, by signing the Declaration of Quebec City in which he made a "commitment to hemispheric integration."
On June 27, 2005, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff attended a North American Security and Prosperity Partnership meeting in Ottawa at which he said, "We want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a press release endorsing the Ottawa report and calling the meeting "an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."
In July 2005, the White House let it be known that it is backing a coalition called Americans for Border and Economic Security organized by former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie. Its purpose is to conduct a political-style campaign to sell the American people on a guest-worker program wrapped in a few border-security promises and financed by coalition members who each put up $50,000 to $250,000.
On March 31 President Bush met at Cancun, Mexico, for a spring frolic with Fox and the new Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Their press release celebrated what they called the first anniversary of the partnership, and Bush demanded that Congress pass an immigration bill with a worker permit program.
On May 15 Bush made a nationally televised speech in which he enunciated the amazing non sequitur that we can't have border security unless we also have a "comprehensive" bill including legalization of illegal immigrants now in the United States and the admission of new so-called guest workers.
Thanks to the investigative work of Jerome R. Corsi, we have learned that the partnership's more than 20 working groups are already quietly operating in the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the U.S. Department of Commerce, which refuses to reveal the groups' members because, in the words of partnership spokeswoman Geri Word, the Bush administration does not want them "distracted by calls from the public."
Corsi discovered recently that the partnership issued a "Report to Leaders" on June 27, 2005, that shows the partnership's extensive interaction with government and business groups in the three countries.
On June 15, 2006, the partnership's North American Competitiveness Council, consisting of government officials and corporate chief executive officers from the three countries, met to "institutionalize the partnership and the North American Competitiveness Council, so that the work will continue through changes in administrations."
The Bush administration is using a series of press releases, without authority from Congress or the American people, to shift us into the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership with "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."
Which country is implementing UN treaties by working the treaty wording into law, bypassing congressional ratification?
Don't worry about talking with the Koo Koo clocks here.
They've already made up their minds and won't be swayed.
They are anxiously awaiting Jerome Corsi's next book to "prove" what they already believe.
And then when we are spending DOLLARS in 2020 while they are still waiting on the "Amero", I'll just laugh. Oh wait I already am :)
Well, that's not to say I don't give money to the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities. So if you are down on your luck, you may get some help that way.
You'll have to be alot more specific than that. Please note every example I gave was specific.
I agree with some of the need to be on guard against globalist trends, but to pretend Bush is a globalist and not a believer in American exceptionalism is absurd.
Just wait....
when all of these CURRENT conspiracies don't come true, they will move onto something else....
Civic education was one of the first things the globalists eliminated among the general population. They also brought to political discourse, the Fabian socialist technique of insulting opponents instead of debating issues. I see that you were very accepting of their re-education.
I went to parochial schools. We studied civics til the cows came home.
You asked me what does one get back from a corporation or a company for affording it the luxury of operating in this country. I said nothing unless you are invested in it. But that's not quite accurate.
Now what do you recieve by default?
If you have a Boeing or Weyerhauser or Microsoft in the neighborhood, like I do, what do you get from them (other than returns on investments)? You get a thriving community that supports a multitude of small businesses from coffee shops to gas stations to auto dealers, affording small businesses many an opportunity to thrive. You get the tax revenue into local coffers allowing for road improvements, libraries and other gov't funded "necessities". You get blighted neighborhoods being replaced by upscale ones. You get wealthy CEOs and corporations donating money to the arts and sciences. You get employment opportunities to share in the success.
What the heck else do you want?
There is never a lack of them. CFR, the Bilderburgers, the WhataBurgers, the Illuminati, Skull and Crossbones, the Masons, the Waterbuffalos.....
Hey, have it your way, mate. No problem here. I actually trade the stuff -- do you?
Notwithstanding, FReegards to you!
Good posts on this thread. Rational...logical...supported. So obviously you must be a paid agent of someone. Not surprising that these conspiracy threads all eventually lead to that accusation. Irrational arguments ending in irrational accusations. No surprise at all.
She's not batty. Phyllis is one of the few that lays it on the line and tells it like it is.
President Bush IS a Globalist, as was his Daddy before him. We haven't had a true conservative in the White House since President Reagan. Our opposing choices have been Algore and Lurch. *SHIVER*
Who YOU gonna vote for in that particular line up?
The way I look at it is that we need to hold our collective noses and keep voting conservative, even if it's a RINO in there to stem the tide against what another Dimowit in the White House will do.
Every d@mn time the 'Rats get into office, they f things up so badly that we spend all of our time catering to Foreign Affairs and stomping out this or that...and we can't get to the REAL problems we face in America...the deterents to making money and having fun. ;)
Now that is conspiracy stuff
Not a trader. Just an industry insider.
Well, it makes for interesting conversation. ;o)
See post 58 and get back to me on the globalist meme. Good grief.
Their jalapeno burger is a mezcan conspiracy to burn the ol bungholio.
So were Barry Goldwater and Duke Cunningham.
