Goliath is the globalist-inspired Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) - better known as the North American Union (NAU) and the Trans Texas Corridor (TCC) - also know as the NAFTA Highway. To date a dozen states have introduced resolutions to oppose the SPP and the NAU. Some states have also included language to oppose creation of a new currency called the Amero. Also opposed in most of the resolutions is the super highway (TCC) to run from Laredo, Texas all the way to Kansas City and more. Specifically, all of the resolutions are reacting to a wide range of concepts and structures dealing with the integration of North America into one "harmonized" union. The states where resolutions have been introduced include Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and Washington. The TCC itself has come under specific attack. First, in April, 2007 a group of trucking and environmental organizations, led by the Teamsters Union, filed a law suit against an announced Bush Administration pilot project that would authorize up to 100 Mexican-based trucking companies to travel beyond U.S. Border States. The suit demands that the American public be given an opportunity to comment on the policy before it is implemented. It is widely understood that the pilot program is a necessary first step in the creation of the NAFTA Highway, which will allow traffic across the border to move with out stopping for inspection. In filing the suit, Teamster president Jim Hoffa said the Bush Administration "is ignoring the American people in its zeal to open our borders to unsafe Mexican trucks." Meanwhile, in Texas, at the center of the storm, the state legislature passed legislation to impose a 2-year moratorium for the highway. This will slow down the process and give the opposition a chance to organize and stop the highway completely. The state has already signed a 50 year lease with a private Spanish company named Cintra. That lease not only allows the company to make huge profits from the tolls to be collected, but also includes a no-complete clause that prevents the state from building new government roads or improving existing highways that travel in the same direction as the TCC. This fact prompted one Texas official to call the rush to impose public/private partnerships a "rush to sell the crown jewels of Texas." The Texas House passed the moratorium legislation on April 11 by a vote of 137 - 2. Now the Senate has passed it with one 4 votes in opposition. This is an incredible result considering that just months before most Texas legislators claimed the Corridor was just a highway improvement bill. It is even more impressive when considering that he Texas Governor tried to team up with the Federal Department of Transportation to threaten the Texas legislators that federal highway funds would be "in jeopardy" if the moratorium passed. The action simply served to anger legislators who then voted for the moratorium with a vengeance. The Security and Prosperity Partnership is a threat to our national sovereignty and independence. The United States, with its Constitution which protects individual liberty from government, is the most unique on earth and cannot be "harmonized" with nations which do not share our values. These victories against the effort to create a North American Union are exciting and important. However, the fight is far from over. The forces driving the SPP and the TCC are rich, powerful and determined. Opponents must continue to pour on the attack and we must score again and again to have any hope in stopping the SPP. Two actions are necessary to stop the SPP threat. The first is to stop the Trans Texas Corridor. The second is to impose strong immigration policy that stops the flood of illegals across our border. Texas has taken steps to provide the first. Now every American must flood Congress with calls and letters to demand the second. Meanwhile, we must also encourage every state legislature to pass resolutions against the whole concept of a North American Union. But it's not a bad bit of work for a tiny band of dedicated activists which have no national media voice, no massive funding and little support among political leaders. All we have is some truth and a lot of heart. It works.

...a tiny band of dedicated activists which have no national media voice, no massive funding and little support among political leaders. Yeah. They have the advantage right now of so many fires encircling the crimminals that they are relatively unopposed in their efforts to shitcan this boondoggle. Find the weakness and exploit it.

so here is the problem again. we identify treasonous actors in government, and we declare a victory when their efforts are thwarted for a time. then, we walk away and allow them to re energize and try again. what the hell is wrong with this picture? look, you stopped treasonous people's designs, you haven't stopped the treasonous people, and until you punish them under the criminal code, with the most severe punishment, they will be back, and in fact, just become more emboldened when they realize they can act against the constitution with impunity...nothing is off limits, there is no consequence to trying as many times to destroy the nation as you like. the only thing that they risk is being told 'no'.... let them see if they will act when the risk they have becomes jail time and the gallows as a penalty for treasonous and seditious conduct. the laws are on the books. if they were enforced, none of this would be happening, or would happen in the future. the further collective insanity of our society. rather like a weed that you keep cutting down, but never actually taking out the root.
"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit---to the "conquest" of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature." -Alan Watts /
CA now has toll roads that join with the freeways. I understand they are foreign owned.

"You can spend ten years giving the antidote to the poison that is produced by a badly led cultural establishment, but a single decree from the Ministry of Culture can destroy all your work. If you had spent that ten years winning fighters for the movement, the movement would have conquered the Ministry of Culture! Everything else is mere piecework."
