Exactly my point in post #124.
And it's also populated by those useful idiots who swallow every bit of politically correct rhetoric and propaganda hook, line and enchilada. I'm sure you probably believe the crap about Mexicans just wanting to come here and work (when they cost us tens of billions in welfare expenses), that Fox just wants an "orderly movement of people" (when we see the borders overrun with any # of rapists, murderers and drug dealers) and businesses need to hire Mexicans to do the "jobs Americans won't do" (the perfect cover story for American businessmen who want to evade payroll taxes as well as pay minimal wages to Mexican workers because they know taxpayers will be stuck with other employee living expenses.
The point is a small % of those shipments coming in from Mexico and overseas will even be checked by customs and what better way to distribute drugs and other contraband across the whole country than by having an inland port right in middle America.
Part of Article VI of the Constitution:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Does this clause place treaties on the same level with the constitution as the "supreme Law of the Land?" If so, does it not follow that there can be treaties which are inconsistent with the constitutional terms?
My concern is that a president will enter into a treaty, and 2/3 of the Senate will ratify it, an it will erode our constitutional rights. Has this issue been dealt with in the context of treaties which, for example, provide for trials that do not include our constitutional rights?
I am concerned that the various trade agreements made or to be made in the furre will be the route by which our national life is irreparably harmed.
I see the cow dung fumes must've gotten to you.
Don't you have some hay to bale or something?
I would suspect under this new alliance many of our rights would be trampled because the bill of rights is deemed too ancient to be of any use. People just laugh and laugh at this but tell me, the Elites that have pushed the EU through even though people have rejected it, it is highly probable that North America has elites of this mindset as well.
I strongly agree with you. Our political leaders in both parties and in both the executive and legislative branches have prostituted themselves to global business conglomerates, to the detriment of freedom and health of this nation and its citizens. All for the idolatrous worship of the almighty dollar. Anything for a buck.
Here's the rub though: the so-called western "elites": the oligarchs, the greedheads, and the dreamers, are going to be relegated to the dustbin of history (where most of them belong) by coming world events in the years ahead.
It's easier for them to be ostriches than to accept the idea that the current occupant of the White House could be involved in such treachery against American workers/taxpayers. To many of them, he's a god who can do no wrong.
You would think Kofi would have enough baggage of his own.
That's right, the Neeeeeewwwwww World Order.
Which explains why the House is at a complete 180 with the Senate on illegal immigration. The corporations know exactly who they have to buy off to ram their agenda through.
With people in it!
And they have opinions!!!
It must be a conspiracy.
Oh, no. You've found out the secret. The Trilateral Commission is -- gasp! -- an organization. Of people. With opinions. Lock the doors, Mabel.
And a working group is?
Doesn't it?
True. When it all gets resolved. However, in the meantime, it grieves me because in their demise, they'll take a lot of naive followers down with them that swallowed their vision of grandeur... hook, line, and sinker.
As a matter of fact, I have not been affected by your posts, no.
I guess they've had to go a different route.
I wish one of these conspiracies would take hold already. I want in on the ground floor.

Yes, the situation is almost exactly parallel to what the John Birch Society taught us so wisely about the Communists:
The more evidence one finds that somebody isn't a Communist, the more one can be sure that the person in question actually IS a Communist -- because Communists are so devilishly clever.
So for example, the fact that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower never seemed to be a Communist is dispositive that he actually was. Q.E.D.
[Or at least that's how I remember the proof.]
And now that I think about it, was Eisenhower a secret member of the Bilderbergers?
[Oops, gotta run. A black helicopter just landed in my front yard.]
No surprise at all.
