The amero conspiracy

SINCE HE BEGAN his presidential campaign, Republican candidate Mitt Romney has held more than 125 "Ask Mitt Anything" town hall forums, and the people who have shown up for them have done their best to make the events live up to their name. There have been questions about medical marijuana, about abolishing the income tax, about Romney's Mormonism and his potential vice president.

Of course, certain topics come up more than others. One is healthcare. Another is Iraq. A third is the North American Union.

The North American Union is a supranational organization, modeled on the European Union, that will soon fuse Canada, the United States, and Mexico into a single economic and political unit. The details are still being worked out by the countries' leaders, but the NAU's central governing body will have the power to nullify the laws of its member states. Goods and people will flow among the three countries unimpeded, aided by a network of continent-girdling superhighways. The US and Canadian dollars, along with the peso, will be phased out and replaced by a common North American currency called the amero.

OMG, I can't stop laughing.

person #1: "Just like people say there are no plans on the drawing board for the FTAA."
person #2: "What the heck are you talking about? Who?
[period of time passes]
person #1: "I've seen people claim there are no plans on the drawing board for the FTAA."
person #2: "erm . . . wasn't that you?"

[DoughtyOne]

Oh, so you read your post over. Well, at least we agree on one thing.

[1rudeboy]

Yeah, that when you speak of hypothetical people who claim that there are no plans on the drawing board for the FTAA you’ve never come across one in real life. But it still serves to prove that there is a conspiracy to create the FTAA.

I realize this type of response on your part passes for reasoned thought to you.  It just doesn't for me.

A person on this thread linked you to the WikiPediia reference to plans for a North American Union, the think thank where it originated and what has come of the plan.  President Bush as proposed a North American Security agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico.  That plan suggests we lower our borders with Canada and Mexico.  I guess you see that as a temporary agreement.  I and others see it as a stepping stone.

Look, you can act like nature's poster boy for ignorance if you like, but it's not going to stop what is on the drawing board, that most everyone else has noticed and you haven't.

[TheBattman]

He asked what is “so bad” about a North American Union... At the top of that list SHOULD be the sovereignty of the United States. His question sure sounded like sovereignty is not even on his list...

But maybe I misread that...

[Toddsterpatriot]

What conspiracy was that?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Approximately 18 to 24 months ago, folks were coming on this forum to state that the transnational corridor through Texas up through Candada was an ultra-right wing conspiracy theory.

I've seen that claim before. I never saw anyone claim the road was a conspiracy theory. I guess he won't be providing a link where that claim was made. LOL!

I've denied that the plan to build a road is proof that our border will be erased. Maybe the problem these guys have is one of reading comprehension? When you can't understand an article, it's easier to shout Conspiracy!

Are you getting double time for working the weekend? : -)

I like what you are doing here, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. ^_^

*high five*

No, I won't be wasting my time looking up links to things you should have already read here.  You tool around if you need to catch up.

Those that talked down the plan to build a transnational corridor were also slotted in the kook-file by those who didn't realize it was actually going to be built.

As for reading comprehension, that isn't the problem.  The problem is that certain people can read volumes on a topic and it means nothing to them.  Then they throw around the "can't comprehend" insuult to those who can.

Did President Bush propose a three nation security plan?  Why yes he did.  How would such a plan work?  Well, the leaders of three nations would come together and determine border polices that would replace the border polices our elected officials used to devise on their own.  And what would take place after that?  It would be likely that a transnational commission would be set up to determine security issues.  Whatever the eventuality, three nations would be making the decisions ours used to on it's own.  Does that increase our self-determination or does it decrease it?  To put it another way, will this increase our sovereignty or decrease it?

Let me know what you come up with.

“It appears to me that those working tirelessly to suppress suspicion of a possible scenario can be said to be working in support of that scenario.”

BINGO.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Those that talked down the plan to build a transnational corridor were also slotted in the kook-file by those who didn't realize it was actually going to be built.

Those who said a road would be built were called kooks? Or those who said a road meant the end of American sovereignty were called kooks?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

but the NAU's central governing body will have the power to nullify the laws of its member states.

Over...my...dead...body. And I mean that.

[DoughtyOne]

I would add to that.

Those that seek to dismiss opposition to things like a North American Union, a three nation security agreement that erases borders, or a Free Trade of the Americas Agreement, on the grounds that only kooks would suggest such a thing could take place, use tactics developed by the best marxist minds to defeat their enemies.

If these goals are just idiotic pipe dreams, what’s the worst that could happen? They wouldn’t come into being.

If these goals are not just idiotic pipe dreams, what’s the worst that could happen? Step by step plans would be implemented until the goasl were met without any opposition whatsoever.

I’ll error on the side of knowing what our leaders have been up to. I’ll error on the side of knowing what has taken place in Europe didn’t just happen one day. I’ll error on the side of acknowledging what steps would be needed to achieve these goals, and that those steps have already begun to take place.

I don’t take chances when it comes to sovereignty, and I have very little respect for those who do.

[DoughtyOne]

What’s the matter Todd, having a comprehension problem?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Trying to comprehend how you could be so wrong.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s okay Carl, oops, I mean Todd.

[Toddsterpatriot]

No problem Darla.

[DoughtyOne]

Carl Marx... I know you were having a hard time with that one. Tell me, do you need a link?

You trash anyone who recognizes what our leadership is up to. In the face of tangible proof, you continue to hurl insults at others.

You are an enabling putz.
