I have "http://www.freerepublic.com" set in my Windows' "Trusted Zone", and thus have never been bothered with needing to OK any scripts that want to run. This morning whenever I view a page at FR I get an IE7 dialog to OK running a script. Thus far I've said NO, and it seems to have no detrimental effects. That's normal for a web page that isn't in my trusted zone because of the way I have my Internet Explorer's "Internet Zone" configured. Is FR running a new Active-X or Java control that is not fed from "http://www.freerepublic.com?" I'll change it from...

NAFTA could feel like a day at the beach Sara Falconer   Bush push in the bush It's been called "NAFTA on crack," and the participants have been derided as "the Three Amigos," but you'd better start taking the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) seriously.

Canadians Completely Unaware of Looming North American Union Bush and Calderon to Visit Canada by Kevin Parkinson Global Research, July 17, 2007 In just over a month’s time, on August 20, the most powerful president in the world will be arriving in Montebello, Quebec for a two-day conference. President George W. Bush will be meeting with Stephen Harper and their Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon.

OTTAWA–Rising concerns about continental integration and opposition to U.S. President George W. Bush's war in Iraq may bring protesters to Montebello, Que., in large numbers next month when Prime Minister Stephen Harper meets with his American and Mexican counterparts. Thousands of demonstrators turned out in Ottawa the last time Bush visited Canada in 2004. But those opposing Iraq or the tightening of relations among Canada, Mexico and the U.S. are unlikely to get very close to the Aug. 20-21 summit at a luxury resort 80 kilometres from Ottawa. Police are planning to throw up a security cordon extending several kilometres...

The real reason behind President Bush's push for immigration reform, says author Jerome R. Corsi, is to unite the United States, Mexico and Canada by erasing borders and creating a "North American Union." That is the theme of Mr. Corsi's new book, "The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada," which says the Bush administration's "globalist agenda" is leading to a merger of the countries through the implementation of policies and laws to open trade barriers and renovate the highway systems in anticipation of increased travel within the new megastate. Mr. Corsi said a growing number of...

Bush to attend meeting critics view as stepping stone to continental unionBy Jerome R. CorsiProtesters believe as many as 10,000 people could assemble in Quebec to demonstrate against the third summit meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the trilateral group some critics see as a stepping stone to a “North America Community.” Canadian state and national police are preparing for a possible violent confrontation when President Bush joins Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Aug. 20, 21 in Montebello, Québec, at the Fairmont Le Château Montebello resort. Stuart Trew, a spokesman for the Council...

By Carl Teichrib “The acquisition of Canada this year…will be a mere matter of marching…” – Thomas Jefferson Disbelief was the first emotion. Not because I didn’t comprehend the message, but because of the brazen nature of the broadcast. After the evening news was over, I immediately placed phone calls to friends in the United States. Was it on your evening news? Did you see it? The response was the same regardless of which state I called. No, there’s nothing about this story here. Are you sure it exists? While America appeared to have a news blackout in early 2005,...

Activists already are preparing to protest the third summit meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, a trilateral initiative between the U.S., Canada and Mexico seen by critics as a major step toward a North American Union, according to WND columnist Jerome Corsi, author of a new book on the subject, "The Late Great USA." The meeting, which has received almost no mention in the U.S. mainstream media, is scheduled for Aug. 20 and 21 in Montebello, Quebec, at the Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello resort. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is scheduled to host the Quebec summit,...

SAN DIEGO - Bulldozers are rolling again on the U.S.-Mexico border, moving hundreds of tons of dirt to make way for a 16-foot steel fence in an area that once was the most popular crossing for illegal immigrants. But before the construction resumed recently, the 14-mile project in San Diego was stalled for years by legal challenges from environmentalists, budget problems and difficulties buying land. Those delays are now raising doubts about a government plan to extend fencing to 370 miles of the Mexican border. The Bush administration, under pressure to tighten border security, wants all 370 miles done by...

By: Patrick Wood, The August Review At least two highly visible citizen's organizations that intend to expose the activities of the Security and Prosperity Partnership may have been effectively shut down for the upcoming Leaders Meeting in Montebello, Quebec on August 20-21.The Council of Canadians, after renting a public facility in the Municipality of Papineauville (about 4 miles from Montebello), were bluntly informed by the hall’s management that the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), SQ (Security Quebec) and the U.S. Army will not allow their meeting even though it is scheduled on the day before the SPP meeting! (See Police nix...

America is finished. Mexico and Canada are gone too. In their place: One massive country, the North American Union (NAU), bordered by the Bering Sea to the north and Guatemala to the south, the Atlantic to the east and the Pacific to the west. NAU citizens no longer spend dollars or salute Old Glory. They spend "ameros," and the flag that waves over its capitals shows the entire Western Hemisphere. The national borders of the United States have been forever erased. While that scenario may sound far-fetched, critics of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) warn that future could be...

Opponents of U.S. sovereignty plan to sneak their agenda around Congress Red China to monitor non-Chinese shipments within U.S.? Wes Vernon July 9, 2007 The Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) — whose U.S. operation conducts its business in secrecy in the bowels of the U.S. Department of Commerce — is plunging ahead with a program that may end America as we know it. We can argue all day over to whether this is another case of "unintended consequences." (This column does not buy that.) The SPP appears to lead ultimately to a North American Union (NAU) or "community." Under that...

WASHINGTON – A powerful think tank chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn and guided by trustees including Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, William Cohen and Henry Kissinger, is in the final stages of preparing a report to the White House and U.S. Congress on the benefits of integrating the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one political, economic and security bloc.

Worries about safety, smuggling are listedCritics appear as full-throated as ever in their opposition to a Bush administration plan to open the nation's highways to Mexican trucks, according to a review of public comments collected so far by the federal government. More than 2,100 people had submitted comments to the Transportation Department as of yesterday, and almost all expressed displeasure with a proposed one-year pilot project that could begin later this year. Among the concerns: worries that the Mexican carriers' trucks would be unsafe, that they could be used to smuggle drugs into the United States and that they would...

ASSISTANT SECRETARY SHANNON: Thank you all for coming. This is actually a test to see how many people were here on a Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.m., but we appreciate your presence. We just really wanted -- very briefly wanted to let you all know something that you're probably aware of already, but on Monday, July 9th, the President and Mrs. Bush will host a White House Conference on the Americas at the Hyatt Crystal City Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. This conference will bring together voluntary organizations, nongovernmental organizations, the private sector, and foundations to discuss and highlight the vast...

Texas needs the Trans-Texas Corridor because of its surging population, a representative for Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday while speaking in Cleburne. Plans are to build the multi-lane highway and rail system parallel to Interstate 35, north-south through the center of the state. Kris Heckmann, deputy director of Perry’s Legislative Division spoke at the Cleburne Civic Center at the invitation of the Johnson County Republican Women for their monthly meeting. Every decade since World War II, Texas’ population has increased by at least 20 percent, Heckmann said. In 1990, the state’s population was 16.5 million, and today the population is...
