Hadn't seen this particular piece Andrea(although none of it was news), but it is among several critical issues Americans refuse to focus upon. It's one of those areas, like education, where most American are willfully(& seemingly proudly) clueless: polled Americans consistently say American's are the best educated worldwide while the categorial testing shows we score, at, or near the bottom of all industrialized nations. Both have been true for bettern a decade, prolly longer.

My point being, Americans think they and their nation are bullet proof, despite the documentation to the contrary(mass psychology doesn't exist either don'tchaknow: and certainly there's no one who would apply it apart from DeBeers, lol:). Sadly, we're really quite delusional and about to lose our sovereignty, whereupon the Bill of Rights will cease to exist, in practice, if not in name. And frankly, I'd say that's a fait accompli presently.

The truly fascinating element*, is that there is no shortage of documentation from innumerable individuals and organizations(such as your post would point to), most of whom are highly esteemed, admitting just such goals, dating back more than a century. It's what one might call an open conspiracy. Especially during the past decade; as I can remember when any number of organizations, were readily dismissed as conspiracy theories, even though they had mailing addresses and publications. I've been noticing of late that one of them regularly has one official or another as an expert opinion on any number of news programs and opinion broadcasts.

Too, just like with the EU, our public officials are lying about its existence and its goals(spp.gov) as the harmonizing committees of the three countries are presently at work. If you Google Robert Pastor(father and shepherd of the North American Union[NAU]), you'll find he has been writing books supportive of this for decades mixed with interviews since 2005 where he lies about the actual ramifications he supports in print. Take a gander at his credentials, they're as telling as they are impressive.

And last of all, new North Carolina drivers licenses have the NAU emblem embossed on the back. Also the RealId, if you read the bill, is not only biometric but for three nations.

But it's just a conspiracy theory. And if you don't think so, the system will be pleased to prescribe any number of psychotropics to insure ones pleasure n compliance. Huxley called it Soma I believe.

It's not difficult to get doped up these days. A friend of ours who ended up going as far as the Mayo Clinic without a correct diagnosis, was immediately prescribed antidepressants and not a single doctor along the way suggested that was an unnecessary course of action that might require some reconsideration. Just fascinating, yknow? She was literally withering away, and all she need was a tooth removed but not one single expert ever figured out a bad tooth was poisoning her. Thankfully she immediately began to improve with its removal.

All that said, the following is the mechanism by which this entire charade moves forward. And do note, if one were to ponder its broad implications, what kind of men(& woman) such a system would necessarily attract, and promote.

* "Those few who can understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on it favors, that there will be little opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear it burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

peaceably
