What's happening to America?

We know this isn't the way things are supposed to be.
You know there is something wrong too.
You may not be able to put your finger on exactly what is causing our
problems, but you see the evidence that something
has surely gone awry.  
You see illegal aliens pouring into our country over our unprotected
borders while our leaders do nothing to stop it.
You see American jobs being shipped overseas and foreign countries
being given management of our ports and a new super highway.
You hear of a plan (or, maybe not) to combine the United States,
Mexico and Canada into some North American Union.

What's going on?

“As nightfall does not come all
at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances, there is a
twilight when everything
remains seemingly unchanged.
And it is in such twilight that we
all must be aware of change in
the air however slight, lest we
become unwitting victims of the
darkness.”—Justice William O.
Douglas, US supreme Court (1939-75)
This won't help...
...Neither does assuming that anyone who tries
to point out what's wrong with America is just a
'conspiracy theorist' or worse, a nut case.

HOW TO ANALYZE THE NEWS AND
WHAT GOES ON AROUND YOU
Critical analysis of current events is a complex process that is not systematized or rigid. All the information
you see or gather is, generally, a combination of truth, half-truths, and error. Filtering out the truth begins with
finding reliable sources, as well as critically scrutinizing sources that are known to have a specific bias.

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves"
-Bertrand de Jouvenel

From Wikipedia.com

"Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a portmanteau created by combining the
words "sheep" and "people", a reference to herd mentality. It is often used to
denote persons who acquiesce to authority, and thus undermine their own human
individuality. The implication of sheeple is that people believe whatever they are
told, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real
world around them."
Erasing America!
By Steven Yates

NewsWithViews.com

The United States of America, once—long ago—a Constitutional republic, is being
erased. The erasure of America isn’t reported on the 6 o’clock news, of course. It isn’t
much noticed, because it is happening too slowly—although the pace has increased
over the past couple of decades. Be this as it may, there is no need to speak of
“conspiracy theories.” For one thing, it isn’t a theory. It is as much a fact as gravity. It
is being carried out in plain sight, not behind closed doors in smoke filled rooms.
Anyone with Web access can follow the process. Those in the business of erasing
America know, however, that they are operating in a culture whose educational system
has been strip-mined, so to speak. America’s masses by and large don’t know what a
Constitutional republic is, and use the Web the same way they use television—for
entertainment. But all you need to know is there, and you don’t have to stick with
NewsWithViews.com or Steven Yates’s blog.

Go, for example, to the website of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). There you
will find a document entitled Building a North American Community. It first appeared
on the site this past spring. Checking in at 47 pages excluding acknowledgements and
other front matter, Building a North American Community provides a blueprint for the
integration of the United States, Mexico and Canada under a single supranational
authority. This plan would, for all practical purposes, dissolve the borders between
each nation and end the lip-service that must still be paid to the Constitution within our
own. It would bring NAFTA to fruition, building more of the “architecture of a new
international system” about which Dr. Henry Kissinger spoke candidly back in 1993
when NAFTA was being accorded bipartisan support as a “free trade” agreement.

Regional unification would solve the illegal immigration problem by fiat, of course, by
promoting the free movement of peoples across the former borders, an idea Mexican
president Vicente Fox has promoted openly on numerous occasions. We will doubtless
still speak of a United States, a Mexico, and a Canada. But their status would be very
much like the status of formerly independent nations of the European Union, which is
becoming a unified political entity whose citizens move as freely across borders as we
do from state to state. The Europeans are just a few years ahead of us on the curve.
The CFR report, which went online late last spring, has the endorsement of the Bush
Administration. On March 23 of this past year, President Bush, Mexican President
Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin joined in committing their
governments to this “regional integration.”

For the details here, go to the website of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of
North America (SPP). President Bush has spoken of the common commitment of the
three eventually-to-be-dissolved North American nations “to markets and democracy,
freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security.” Notice that he speaks of
markets, not free markets. Note that he speaks of democracy, when what our Founding
Fathers created was (in Ben Franklin’s immortal words) “a republic, if you can keep
it.” Again, because of the strip-mining of our educational system mentioned above, he
can get away with this. The average School-To-Work high school graduate has no idea
that America was founded as a republic and not a democracy, by men severely critical
of democracy. As for prosperity, it seems clear that since NAFTA we have grown not
more but less prosperous as our national economy has literally bled manufacturing jobs
and replaced them with low-paying “service sector” jobs. By 2003, almost ten years
after NAFTA went into effect, America’s middle class was massively in debt, the
average debt by those owning one credit card being $9,250, up over $6,000 from 1990.

By September of this year, our savings rates had actually gone negative.
Unemployment is much larger than the government’s official statistics reveal, because
those statistics do not count people who have ceased seeking work as unemployed.
Moreover, no one keeps statistics on underemployment, the employment of men and
women at jobs well beneath their educational level or mental capacity. Examples of the
latter: the science graduate who stocks shelves at the local Wal-Mart, the former high-
tech employee compelled to take a job sorting mail. There is simply no evidence that
eroding our national borders will reverse this slow destruction of the American middle
class, and every reason to think the process will be accelerated as more jobs depart
overseas for cheaper labor.

The contention that a unification of North America will increase the security of the
three eventually-to-be-dissolved nations is even stranger. Our government will not
protect its own borders despite worries of our being at risk of another terrorist attack
because doing so would conflict with the regional integration desired by the super elite.
For many of us this points directly at the deceptive nature of the “war on terror”: if the
feds were really interested in protecting the American public, the Bush Administration
would have long pulled America out of all this misguided globalism, forgotten about
that boondoggle in Iraq, recalled our troops from the hundred or so nations where they
are stationed overseas, and used them to close our porous borders.

But never mind all that. The SPP will create a far larger perimeter to defend! Mexico
has a southern border as porous as our own, if not more so. Small wonder that Lou
Dobbs, one of the few voices in the mainstream media drawing attention to the
problems with recent pseudo-free trade accords and immigration policies, can ask,
Have our political elites gone mad?

The plan is to have the super-elites’ North American Community in place by the year
2010. Here is what they want:

·        Military and law enforcement cooperation between all three eventually-to-be-       
dissolved nations;
·        Canadians and Mexicans brought into the American Department of Homeland
Security;
·        Temporary migrant worker programs expanded with full mobility of labor between
the three countries in the next five years.

Not even the mainstream media is ignoring this. The above-mentioned Dobbs posed
his question on CNN. As I said at the outset, the super-elite is not really hiding
anymore! Consider the following exchange that took place on the air between CNN’s
Christine Romans and Dobbs:

Romans: “The idea here is to make North America more like the European Union…”

Dobbs: “Americans must think that our political and academic elites have gone utterly
mad at a time when three-and-a-half years, approaching four years after September 11,
we still don’t have border security. And this group of elites is talking about not
defending our borders, finally, but rather creating new ones. It’s astonishing.”

Romans: “The theory here is that we are stronger together, three countries in one,
rather than alone.”

Dobbs: “Well, it’s a— it’s a mind-boggling concept….”

It is also official, as one can see just from consulting the relevant websites. It is not
something we “conspiracy kooks” made up. We are moving—in overdrive—towards a
state of affairs that will effectively end what little is left of the supremacy of the U.S.
Constitution and the idea of limited government to a state of affairs in which Americans
will answer to unelected supra-national bureaucrats—possibly without even realizing it!

We may add to all of this the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), which has not
gone away but been temporarily shifted to the back burner. This latter may be due to
the adverse publicity following the obvious strong-arm tactics the Bush Administration
used to get CAFTA passed in the House last summer. The FTAA has fallen on
apparent hard times, with the dissolution of the Fourth Summit of the Americas
meeting in Argentina amidst a chaos of dissent and protest. Protests also attended the
meeting that occurred in Canada four years ago. No one who studies these agreements
wants them except the super elite, who see themselves as getting even richer from
them. Its members have had setbacks before. They always eventually regroup. The
creation of a North American Community places them in a good position to move
forward nevertheless, following an agenda formulated by Zbigniew Brzezenski in his
book Between Two Ages, which became the bible of David Rockefeller Sr.’s Trilateral
Commission. Regional integration under NAFTA has already created tribunals whose
members see themselves as having the authority to overrule U.S. court decisions.

The long-term goal, of course, is a world government that would subordinate all the
affected peoples to an encirclement of regulatory controls by internationalist
bureaucrats, most likely under the auspices of the United Nations whose sustainable
development policies are carrying forth the effort on the domestic front. Sustainable
development, as Michael Shaw recently showed in detail, is transforming communities
all across America, city by city, county by county, and steadily depriving individuals of
their private property rights and their mobility. Combine these two—international
policies aimed at dissolving entire nations and domestic ones dissolving Constitutional
liberties by stealth—and you have the incipient New World Order. Expect it no later
than 2010—unless, of course, we experience the kind of economic meltdown described
by Devvy Kidd in a recent two-part article. [Must see video; Liberty or Sustainable
Development]

World government has, of course, been the goal of the super elite from the start. It was
the goal of the Round Table Groups created with Cecil Rhodes; it has been the goal of
the Fabian Society, which set the entire English-speaking world on the road to
socialism. It was the goal of “Colonel” Edward Mandell House, who had written
anonymously (in Philip Dru: Administrator) of “socialism as dreamt of by Karl Marx.”
House sat always at President Woodrow Wilson’s side as he maneuvered this country
into what became World War I, and then went on to guide the founding of the CFR.

The UN’s backers have always seen it as destined to emerge as a world government.
In 1962, the U.S. State Department commissioned MIT Professor Lincoln Bloomfield
to produce an essay entitled “A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations.”
This essay’s Summary opens with these words: “A world effectively controlled by the
United Nations is one in which ‘world government’ would come about through the
establishment of supranational institutions, characterized by mandatory universal
membership and some ability to employ physical force. Effective control would thus
entail a preponderance of political power in the hands of a supranational organization
rather than in individual national units, and would assume the effective operation of a
general disarmament agreement.”

Between Two Worlds spoke of an “emerging international consciousness” and called
for establishing a “community of the developed nations” focusing particularly on
Western Europe, Japan and the United States. “This country’s commitment to
international affairs on a global scale has been decided by history,” Brzezenski wrote.
“It cannot be undone, and the only remaining relevant question is what its form and
goals will be.” A few short years later, one-time ambassador Richard Gartner (CFR)
wrote of bringing about an “end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by
piece” in his oft-cited “The Hard Road to World Order” in the CFR’s flagship journal
Foreign Affairs (1974).

Arguably, this movement went into overdrive during the period 1992-93, which saw the
rise of NAFTA, the emergence of sustainable development, the election of the globalist
Clinton Administration, and much else besides. It has succeeded in globalizing the
curricula in government schools at all levels, from elementary grades to research
universities, so that internationalism is simply accepted and the Constitution (with rare
exceptions) is simply bypassed, except perhaps as a historical relic. Whether President
Bush will find some pretext to be done with it and institute martial law (perhaps
following an outbreak of bird flu and calling for the quarantining of an entire city)
remains to be seen. Domestic martial law would make it much easier for the super elite
to get what it wants without putting up with the grass-roots scuffles it had to deal with
over CAFTA. It will enable them to coerce silence from the public and imprison those
who refuse to shut up. Admittedly most Americans are still too busy watching football
to pay much attention to this; but it is doubtful that they are sufficiently conditioned for
martial law. After all, Bush’s approval ratings are at an all-time low, and the number of
people who don’t trust his consolidation of power at the federal level has been on the
increase especially since the Katrina debacle.

Supposing we avoid martial law a few more years, will America’s masses go along with
the dissolution of this country like a bunch of sheep? They can do so by continuing to
vote for Demopublicans. Or they can put a stop to it by recognizing that something has
gone seriously wrong, waking up, and then getting behind a credible Independent
candidate in 2008. It would be nice to see Independents elected to Congress in 2006,
but it’s doubtful since such candidates ought to be building up their war chests now, and
I know of no cases. If America’s masses continue mindlessly voting for CFR-controlled
Demopublicans, the agenda I have been describing will continue apace.

Be all this as it may, I do not think this agenda will come to fruition. The New World
Order world government will not fall into place the way the super elite wants.
Brzezenski notwithstanding, it won’t happen. Why not? It won’t be protests in the
streets that stop it. It won’t be a third party. What will stop it, if we do not, are the
basic laws of economics. Not even the super elite is powerful or wealthy enough to
repeal basic economics, which tells us that real wealth must be produced and not
borrowed against the future, and that not even governments can live indefinitely
beyond their means. The New World Order is being built up on an unsustainable
mountain of debt. One day this mountain must collapse like a house of cards. Much of
the prosperity we claim for ourselves now is bogus—as imaginary as were the futures
of the dot-com millionaires of the late 1990s who have since gone bankrupt. The reason
for this last: the late 1990s were not years of real productivity but of massive credit
expansion, which means easy money—all of it borrowed. Real jobs were disappearing;
public education, pursuing the School-To-Work and Workforce Investment agendas,
was circling the drain.

When entire economic systems pursue paths of reckless borrowing, eventually
someone must pay. Today’s debts have reached unpayable levels, and as Devvy Kidd
argued in the article referenced above, the edifice is getting increasingly wobbly. Its
collapse is not a matter of if, but when. Of course, super elite control over the “global
economy” will have done enough damage to plunge much of the world into a depression
that will make the 1930s look like a bad dream by comparison. So here are a few things
one ought to do if one is capable: (1) homeschool your children; (2) do not live in a
“sustainable” community; get out of the controlled urban environment; (3) buy
precious metals, whose value will go up as the value of our fiat dollar goes down; (4)
store a supply of food, water, vitamins, toiletries, batteries and battery-powered
equipment capable of lasting at least half a year; (5) learn to grow vegetables; (6) learn
to use firearms for protection against the looters and thugs that will doubtless roam the
land following infrastructural collapse—just picture the entire continent looking like
New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina minus the flood waters, and you get the idea.

I would think anyone with functioning brain cells would be motivated to see to it that
this scenario never happens. Whether its possibility will actually sink into the
consciousness of today’s public remains questionable, however; even its portrayal in a
made-for-TV movie on a major network where millions could tune in would be lost in
the spate of disaster films we’ve seen this fall. Hopefully, some of those currently
being homeschooled will keep the idea of Constitutionally limited government alive, as
we continue the struggle to alert more and more Americans that the country they grew
up in is slowly being erased.

How to Destroy America
    We all know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts
    are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration-overpopulation conference
    in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A
    brilliant college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book,
    "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration — both legal and illegal — was destroying the
    entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all
    vestiges of The American Dream.

    Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a
    stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound as he described
    eight methods for the destruction of the United States. He said, "If you believe that
    America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that
    hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee
    observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show
    that all great nations commit suicide.'"

    "Here is how they do it," Lamm said: First to destroy America, "Turn America into a
    bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive
    the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is
    a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be
    bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual
    and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and
    tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which
    minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided.
    Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons,
    and Corsicans."

    Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage
    immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures
    are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the
    Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority.
    Every other explanation is out of bounds.

    Third, "We could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The
    key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic
    Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural
    experiment might have been achieved! Not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the
    dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we are
    left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.'"

    Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I
    would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to
    ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America reinforcing their
    differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."

    "Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would
    add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population.
    I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."

    "My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to
    give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the
    cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of
    the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority
    population."

    "My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship and promote divided
    loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than
    similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is,
    when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most
    historical precedent. People undervalue the unity! Unity is what it takes to keep a nation
    together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same
    race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same
    gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games.

    A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong
    enough to over come two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that
    nurtured political divisions. Greece fell.

    "E. Pluribus Unum" — From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on
    the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."

    "Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits ~ make it taboo to talk about anything
    against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century -
    that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'x! xenophobes' halt
    discussion and debate."

    "Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism,
    having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it
    impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because
    immigration has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every
    individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."

    In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence
    followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia.
    His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America
    deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book."

    There was no applause.

    A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference.
    Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding
    methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every
    discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our
    educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures that practice female
    genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into
    the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America — take note of
    California and other states — to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is
    reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in
    the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is
    strength."

    Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our
    nation and the future of this great democracy are deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If
    we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a
    California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
