Worries about One World Order and a North American Union have been "ginned up by the blogs and the Internet," Sen. Barack Obama told a Lancaster, Pennsylvania audience in a stump speech as he continued his tour through the battleground state. The Illinois senator also defended the recently re-authorized Patriot Act. Responding to a question from the audience, asking whether he was a member for the Council on Foreign Relations, a group many allege is leading a move toward one world government, Obama said: "I don’t know if I’m an official member. I’ve spoken there before. It basically is a forum where people talk about foreign policy. There is no official membership. I don’t have a card, or you know a special handshake or anything like that." Sen. Hillary Clinton has spoken several times to the club. Comments she made today against NAFTA, were posted on the group's website. Often, because the council has served as lightning rod for conspiracy theorists, candidates shy away from listing their affiliation with the group. Vice President Dick Cheney is a former director but has taken pains not to publicize the fact. "I’ve been a member for long and was actually a director for some period of time," he told members in a speech broadcast on C-Span and now on YouTube, adding, "I never mentioned that when I was running for re-election back home in Wyoming." The council has been at the center of several One World Order conspiracies with theorists contending that the group is conspiring to bring about one world government and a North American Union similar to the European Union. Obama dismissed those notions. "I see no evidence of this actually taking place," he said. "I think this is something that has been ginned up on certain blogs and the Internet. It was based mostly on the fact that there is this highway being built in Texas that will facilitate transportation more transportation between Mexico and the intercontinental United States and Canada...NAFTA helped to break down barriers, but I don’t think there is some conspiracy to create this one continental government." This video is from CNN.com, broadcast March 31, 2008:

An audition for Obama's cabinet?
2 more things: 1) It's alleged that his wife denied that he wrote it. That's all I ever heard about that... 2) The Trotsky quote was never addressed by anyone at the campaign, including RP...
At 2:30pm on March 30, 1981, the son of a family with close ties to the Bush family (who had undergone "psychological treatment") nearly took the life out of the Reagan presidency. Don't blame Reagan for being more careful after that. See John Hankey's investigation of the JFK murder. These events may well have been psyops intended to reign in presidents — and terrify the American people, as well. JFK tried to "act" a little too presidential. Just consider EO 11110.
123 Book Meme & U.S. Foreign Policy Thanks to Ben of openswitch, I have become the latest victim of the 123 Meme (did you know that the origin of the word ‘meme’ comes from evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins?). Essentially, this latest online cultural idea — that, supposedly like a gene, can replicate and evolve — requires you to select the nearest book and post an excerpt on your blog using the following rules: Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating! 1 Turn to page 123. Find the first 5 [full] sentences. 2 Post the next 3 sentences. Tag 5 people. For regular readers this quote will come as no big surprise: […] Where they supported the Persian Gulf War, this administration has not garnered their support for partisan reasons. The principles of interventionism, constitutionality and morality have not been applied consistently to each war effort by either political party; and there is a precise reason for this, over and above the petty partisanship of many. The use of government force to mold personal behavior, manipulate the economy and interfere in the affairs of other nations is an acceptable practice endorsed by nearly everyone in Washington, regardless of party affiliation. […] "The truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear." -- Herbert Sebastien Agar (1897-1980) Source: The Time for Greatness, 1942
Now we're getting somewhere. Why does a man like RP, who can honestly stand on his record, suddenly roll over and play dead? Hardball, folks.
Barry Obama -- In your heart, you know he's wrong.
A POTUS-patriot that sounded off the truth on National TV would have millions of people and troops at his service to eject and decapitate any and all illegal shadow government operatives that didn't flee on their own...
I agree with you.
2) The Trotsky quote was never addressed by anyone at the campaign, including RP.. I was taught long about analytical reading and comprehension. Namely, taking what is said and was is not said and combining them into one context to arrive at the real and full meaning. Trotsky was 180 degrees out of character, so was there a purpose, a meaning, a warning, a hint, what? Damned if I can figure it out. If Paul did not write, then Trotsky reference is meaningless, if he did write it, what was the unspoken instigation, or was he in a high state of emotion or frustration. Time will tell
Bears repeating. Check out 'dinner plans' between Neil Bush and Scott Hinkley (brother of John) the night of... or previous(?)... can't recall, and I don't have the links.
Barry Obama -- In your heart, you know he's wrong.
Did you guys see this? Thanks Peppa...
Fud... See my 65
Do you believe that? I wonder...if I knew then what I know now, I'd have infiltrated the Establishment when I had the chance and be of more use.
The name at the Office of the Presidency is changed periodically to protect the guilty.
The Bush Crime Family, according the Law of Sowing and Reaping, has some very hard times ahead...I hope I live to be an eyewitness.
Go back to 1913, the warning voice was of Charles Lindbergh speaking against the FED RES, he was ruined and his life threatened. Later came Huey Long, he was shot, then McFadden he was shot and poisoned then Lindbergh Jr, baby was killed and there were others I have forgotten and now Paul.
Apparently Perot and family were threatened...
"McCain, a champion of campaign finance reform, has just $7.9 million cash on hand compared to $33.1 million for Hillary Clinton and $38.8 million for Barack Obama, according to Federal Election Commission filings through Feb. 29. Additional numbers for the first quarter of 2008 will be out within weeks. McCain also has $4.3 million in debt, compared to $8.7 million for Clinton and only $625,000 for Obama, according to the latest figures."
YW. More to follow.

... never heard from again. Can the case be more plain?

Think I will run for president, seems like a lot of money is available.
It's a bear market. There's even a secession movement in Cook County.
...Both methods yielded similar results, which support the previous findings; that is, of all modern human samples, sub-Saharan Africans again exhibit the closest phenetic similarity to various African Plio-Pleistocene hominins... Clinton’s husband oversaw passage of NAFTA but today she called for parts of it to be renegotiated. "I spoke out against it starting in 1992 -- the president made a different decision," Clinton said. "I think now with 14 years of experience under our belt, we can see that in some parts of our country there have been, perhaps, some economic advantages, but in other parts of our country, like where we are right here in northwest Indiana, it hasn't worked as it was promised, and therefore I think we need to renegotiate it," she told an Indiana audience today. Personally, I've heard this same sort of shit my entire life, to a point where I'm unwilling to tolerate it any longer. We act like children and are treated as such. Who the fuck are these people to focus cameras on us, print us, monitor our finances, tax us, tell us what to eat, where to educate our children, stick needles in our kids butts, and after all is said and done ... are we better off for it ? Whose life is it anyways, theirs or ours ?

Dont confuse realism with pessimism, nor optimism.
really, it is galling. speaking of which, did you hear they snatched Sherry Peel Jackson???
Too late, hag. Everything's been picked clean.

I told them to eff themselves a long time ago, spelled it out clearly, terminated the agreements my parents entered me into without my knowledge and I've made it clear to them the cost of effing with me or mine...that's just me though.
? Of Green Party recent fame?
I heard her husband today on RBN ... he said she was locked up. But I didn't hear much of the program.

Me too. My last correspondence stated "If you or any of your agents should ever step foot on my property I will consider it an act of war and treat it as such".

Like these political shit-bags couldn't pre-determine that sending our manufacturing out of the country wouldn't have a devastating impact on the middle-class ... gimme a break. Bob Dole even stated "Calls coming in to my Kansas Office are 2000 to 1 in opposition to NAFTA ... but I'm voting FOR IT because I know what we need".
Guns don't kill people ... Governments do
I was being a little sarcastic !

Good... Realism bites every day, pessimism throws in the towel and dons kneepads, optimism is living in fairyland.
I knew I liked you for a reason...
former IRS agent like Joe Bannister, only unlike Bannister, she was convicted for willful failure to file. she was featured in Aaron Russo's Freedom to Fascism.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. She played the kangaroo court game did she?
This is exactly why I am opposed to Crier (Cryer) and Becraft. When the determination made is so arbitrary that each case must be heard by a jury while at the same time the outcome always remains uncertain there is no opportunity for justice. Something so basic as taxation that is assumed to apply to everyone regardless of educational background shouldn't require bookkeepers, lawyers and the court system. And when someone challenges these assumptions they shouldn't be incarcerated for asking questions. This is a perfect example.
