They’ll be wasting their time, not ours ;)
Well, we both know that.... lol!
...the million dollar question. And an honest answer will not be forthcoming from the "person" who is pushing this the most.
Exactly. And the best argument brought to the table was that we had already lost, and now we must keep going this direction because we have no choice (lol). While, predictable, that was annoyingly funny :))
but remember, we *are* only serfs....we are not to question our “masters”. /s
I don’t think the Canadians are going to allow the Mexican trucks into their country. Last week in Montebello Quebec and all across Canada there were protests against the 3-country NWO deal. They value their sovereignty and will not allow it. They can dump their Prime Minister. All it takes is No-Confidence vote in their parliament. Of course, we never heard one word about the firece protests going on there on our media.
BTTT
Actually, they made a couple of errors.
They did not anticipate an informed people to rally together against them with such determination.
They have been dumbing down education in America for over two decades. Also, they continue to divide us and influence the media.
President Bush and Mel Martinez attempted force a massive immigration bill we did not need nor want upon said informed and rallied people.
They will now spoon feed it to us.
They ignored their base.
They will now continuing using the courts and make executive orders.
My position is that errors were made - but it doesn't matter how we won - we won.
I think you’re both right to a large degree. Support is indeed growing, and we did defeat the immigration legislation. But, and there’s the provebial ‘but’, the train indeed kept rolling, and now we’re staring at the Mexican Truckers Plan which is held up at DOT for inspections deficiencies. That’s the most immediate threat present. In reading the Charter for NAFTA, you’ll notice it states clearly that ‘all provisions are to be completed by 2008’. This is something we can all work to reverse.
In the short run, we need to hear that the Mexican Trucker’s Plan is DOA...IMO of course.
I see you found me on a globalism thread.
Interest point about the Mexican truckers "deal".
That was in process while the immigration bill was being eviscerated by the people.
I recall folks raising heck about it but we were all concentrated on th the legislation instead of the Mexican truckers.
Classical divide and conquer.
Hey there WB, it’s good to see you! You’re right. And as we’ve seen, we have to find the information ourselves to find out what working groups exist, what they’re planning, etc.. Stopping the immigration blanket that was on the table was necessary, but sure enough...NAFTA, the OAS and all the inter-mingled provisions and plans keep on rollin’
It would be nice if the press took the time to connect some of these dots...
In retrospect, the fact that he didn't do it should have been our first clue.
It is my suspicion the media know where the dot are, connected them and will not report them.
Uncle Ike cynicism has rubbed off on me a bit.
Isn't it crazy? By now, most of us realize we are only spoon-fed what the elites want us to hear. It's just about like 'Pravda' where the citizens knew they were being lied to by the government-media complex.
Thank you.
Yes, it is very educational.
Understanding the timeline on the Mexican Truckers Project...

***A follow-up Audit is conducted (the one posted earlier upthread and again below) which posted problems still existing as of August 6th 2007 (issue date of Audit Results), release date 21 Aug 07. The furthest date out was indeed September 1st 2007, set as a response to the recommendation in 3b as shown below (Excerpt).
“Response: CONCUR. The FMCSA is working closely with the Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC), Office of the Secretary, to conduct audits of various drug collection facilities operated by the Government of Mexico. These audits will be completed by September 1, 2007. Additionally, ODAPC has worked closely with the Government of Mexico to ensure the policies, procedures and forms used in their governmental controlled substance and alcohol testing program are consistent with, and meet the requirements of, 49 CFR Part 40. All Mexico-domiciled motor carriers are required to have alcohol controlled substance testing programs that meet the requirements of 49 CFR Part 40. If the Mexican drug and alcohol collection sites and laboratory do not meet United States specification, the motor carrier will be required to use facilities in the United States that meet the requirements. Use of collection site and laboratory facilities that meet all United States requirements is verified during the pre-authorization safety audit and monitored during compliance reviews of the Mexico-domiciled motor carriers. Violations discovered during compliance reviews may result in enforcement action against the motor carriers.”

*** Reports indicate it’s to go through next Thursday, September 7th???
“It is my suspicion the media know where the dot are, connected them and will not report them.”
It has to be that, but it has to be some outright lack of understanding as well. We make it look easy, but I’d say the average reporter could have free reign on the open source material we’ve posted and likely wouldn’t understand what they were looking at. Just a hunch. But no doubt the influence is overwhelming to supress the clear picture. The major networks have no excuse. They are complicit.
I can just imagine overhearing someone saying “what is all that protesting down in Arizona and Texas about?” Other person says, “I don’t know, it was something about a thread and a FreeRepublic.” (LOL)
Today I was driving in the middle of nowhere - actually in the hills of Virginia, way down in the south western boarder. By a dirt road there were two guys sitting on their porch. I waved. Then I noticed, attached to a tree at the end of their driveway, a picture of our president, mounted with a frame that was round. OMG, it was a toilet seat. I was shocked.
