The Road of Bones

This is the sort of thing you never hear discussed on television. Yet here it is, on CNBC: admission that the North American Union - a borderless North America, united by one currency, the Amero - is real and under way.

Watch it:


Something tells me that Texans will be the most ardent critics of this scheme. I am personally undecided. If the Union nullifies our sovereignty or in any way alters or discounts our Constitution, it'll be mass dissent; chaos in the streets of every major Texas city.

And you bet'cha, buddy-boy, I'll be right there in the thick of it.

But ... We shall see which way this thing goes. Time will tell if this is in fact a mounting threat to our nation, or just the banter of a deluded elite class.

Congressman Ron Paul, a candidate for President in 2008 on the Republican ticket (he's not your typical Republican) had the following to say in an October 2006 speech on the floor of the House of Representatives ...

The real issue is national sovereignty. Once again, decisions that affect millions of Americans are not being made by those Americans themselves, or even by their elected representatives in Congress. Instead, a handful of elites use their government connections to bypass national legislatures and ignore our Constitution – which expressly grants Congress the sole authority to regulate international trade.

The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union – complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union. Like the European Union, a North American Union would represent another step toward the abolition of national sovereignty altogether.

That superhighway he mentions has its beginnings already under way in Texas. We call it the Trans-Texas Corridor: a highway so expensive that taxpayers cannot cover it, so our Governor made a deal with Cintra, a company in Spain, to finance the project. Once completed, Texans will be paying a foreign entity for the next 50 years, simply for the right to drive.

And that's just the beginning. Read Ron Paul's whole speech here.

I think this will become a topic of more frequent bloggings for your Humble Muckraker.
