[sppna] trust us - it's all for you

From the site:

"The SPP does not attempt to modify our sovereignty or currency or change the American system of government designed by our Founding Fathers […] The SPP is a White House-driven initiative. "

It only regulates these areas:

a. defense

b. the judiciary

c. education

d. social security

... and simply:

e. opens the borders and creates access and egress via the state constructed NAFTA Superhighways

f. creates a free economic zone within NA shores

… run by the North American Advisory Council [CFR appointees - p53]

Everything else will be under the control of the individual nations. Absolutely nothing to worry about, especially if you're Mexican. And I'm sure all Canadians and U.S. citizens will welcome the underprivileged classes of Mexico with open arms.

[the art of giving] the art of receiving

When I was teaching decades ago in Australia, our year level went on a "Weekaway Camp" and there was a small lake and on the lake were kids in canoes. I sat on the bank, canoe at the ready and supervised the thing.

There was a boy, a bit of a rough nut, very awkward with emotions and he had his eye on the Greek goddess Alexandra but despite all his bravado and hard man status, he couldn't bring himself to approach her.

Then I watched him go to a clump of bushes and rip off one of the branches with yellow flowers on it. I was about to have a go at him when he started acting strangely, making straight for the canoe and holding the bit of branch as if there were no tomorrow, taking the paddle in one hand and paddling over to the island.

Then I tumbled to it - the GG and other girl were there - it was going to be interesting. He paddled right up against her canoe and knocked it so she sat down heavily and then he just thrust the branch into her hands without ceremony and looked down.

The next bit mortified me.

She took every flower off the branch one by one and threw them in the water, then threw the branch after it and stared at him. He simply didn't know how to respond. He turned and paddled away and was quiet for the evening.

I asked her later why she'd done that and in a guttural voice, she said: "Dyou think I want anything from him?"

I said I hadn't asked that - I wanted to know why she'd done the pulling off of the flowers and so on and then the grand dramatic flourish at the end. But the question produced no result and I learnt a lesson from that when our main sportsman waited for me on the landing one day and pushed a flower into my hand before lessons, turned on his heel and went back in the room.

I still haven't got over that one.

Near Christmas, one of my boys said to me to "wait there" and then went off and got his mum and her friend who'd been distributing Paterson's cakes to all the staff, took one from the stack in her arms and said: "Here's yours."

I still haven't got over that one either.

[stereotypes] cows explained

This is an oldie but a goodie, perhaps now outdated, perhaps not:

Christian Democrats: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.

Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.

An American: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

Communism: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

Feminism: You have two cows. You and your child have both and he gets nothing, the rapist. Zilch! Diddly squat!

European Union: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

An American Corporation: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

A French Corporation: You have two cows. You go on strike because you wanted three cows.

A Japanese Corporation: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoons and market them worldwide.

A German Corporation: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

A British Corporation: You have two cows. They go mad. They die. You blame the government.

An Australian Corporation: You have two cows. You explain to them how to attach themselves to the self-milker, pack the zinc cream and head for the surf.

An Italian Corporation: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

A Russian Corporation: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A Swiss Corporation: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

A Brazilian Corporation: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares bankruptcy.

An Indian Corporation: You have two cows. You worship both of them.

A Saudi Corporation: You have two cows. You sink a rig in both of them and charge the west outrageous prices for the milk.

An Israeli Corporation: You have two cows. You build a perimeter fence around them, mount the gun turrets and patrol day and night but you lose one cow when a Katyusha rocket takes her out. You rent a bull, follow the capitalist model and soon have a herd, losing only twelve calves a year to Iranian supplied weaponry.

A Chinese Corporation: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reports anything different.

[north america] open borders or closed

OK, I've made some big statements about the U.S. and the North American Union, due to start in January, 2009 and have been laughed to scorn by certain American bloggers when I suggested that there were to be open borders, a free economic zone and the three countries would be under the control of the NAAC, which is virtually the CFR, of which the leading Democrat and Republican candidates either were or are still members.

I further said that it would never come to a constitutional issue but would be done by salami tactics, slice by slice and the Americans would hardly be aware of it happening.

OK - in which way does the following news release today not follow the policy you can read for yourself here and see governmental confirmation for here? [Look at the last part of the url on the last link as well]:

The Bush administration can go ahead with a pilot program to allow as many as 100 Mexican trucking companies to freely haul their cargo anywhere within the U.S. for the next year, a federal appeals court ruled Friday. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request made by the Teamsters Union, the Sierra Club and the nonprofit Public Citizen to halt the program.

Why can't you see that your country was verbally sold down the drain on March 23rd, 2005? Don't accept my word - research it for yourself. Let me help you - here is a first link - go to the left sidebar and check Myth v Fact.

The reason you can't accept it is because "this is America" and the good ole boys would never do something like this. Maybe the lefty commies but never good ole GOPs.

Think again. This is not party political in the least - they're all into it, especailly the Lizard Queen. The only one who shows signs of not having been bought is Ron Paul and he's been marginalized.

[central banks] we love you - really

"Relax! Trust us! We're your friend - truly! We have your interests at heart."

One more time I ask: "So what's new?"

The pressure on central banks to alleviate the funding squeeze is being fuelled by signs that the financial problems may now be contributing to new stress in the real economy.

“The data is a less than gentle reminder that the current crisis is more than a financial sector phenomena but already has a strong real economy component,” said Alan Ruskin, chief international strategist at RBS Greenwich Capital.

Of course there's a real economy crisis, of course the Central Banks across the globe are moving to squeeze both the banking sector and the consumer in every western nation, of course the Central Banks are manouevering into a position of creating indebtedness from all sectors, of course they'll make their move around 2010 - 12, of course I've been saying this all along.

The Central Banks are about as altruistic as the U.N. in Darfur.

[thought for the day] help!

Well, I've had a go at feminists, men, Blair, Cameron, the cabals, Chavs, Barbies, the gay mafia, Marxists, humanists, the g-dless, the Christian Right, the left-liberals …

Phew - I'm running out of targets! All right, how about this one from Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 - 1902), a highly respected early feminist?

With age comes the inner, the higher life. Who would be forever young, to dwell always in externals?
