With every passing year, the politics of the American right wing get more and more fascinating. As it becomes increasingly obvious that the real problems that our nation needs to deal with are those that have progressive solutions, the right wing flails about, searching for a counterbalancing crisis of its own, to justify its extreme ideological beliefs.
Thus, was born the myth of the Amero. Never heard of the Amero? That’s because it doesn’t exist.
Mere reality has never stopped the right wing from getting all frothy-mouthed before, of course, and it’s not stopping them from fretting about the Amero.
Right wing conspiracy theorists say that the government of the United States is engaged in a secret plan with the governments of Canada and Mexico to dissolve American borders and create a single currency that will unite the three countries into a single, giant nation: The North American Union. The new currency of the North American Union, they say, would be called the Amero.
Can the right wingers actually prove that this secret plan to replace the U.S. dollar with the Amero actually exists? Well, no. It’s a secret plan, they say. How could they prove that?
How, indeed, could the claims for such a secret plan be disproved? No one can ever disprove that a well-kept secret exists. Thus, the legend of the Amero continues to be passed along right wing channels of communication in excited whispers, in spite of the lack of any substantial evidence for it.
Supporters of Ron Paul are particularly fond of the legend of the Amero, using it to justify all of Ron Paul’s libertarian ideosyncracies – especially his opposition to worthwhile government projects. National Parks, medals for Rosa Parks, public education and aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina are all part of the conspiracy to the establish the Amero and its North American Union, they whisper.
The nearly-substantial nature of these whispers is exemplified by an article written by Paul Michael, in which he reports, “…some believe the current administration is setting the stage for the introduction of the Amero very soon, as soon as 2010 some believe. The lack of serious intervention on illegal immigration coupled with the continued devaluation of the dollar and its weakness in the world economy is in fact the perfect place to set the foundation for a new currency. Or so I’ve been told by various economists with far more smarts than myself.”
“Some believe” that the Amero will be established by 2010. Who? “Various economists”? Who?
“This is not a phantom organization or conspiracy theory,” Michael continues. “The SPP exists and you can view it yourselves at www.spp.gov.”
Ah, the SPP. The SPP is the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. It’s a diplomatic initiative that hopes to facilitate international cooperation between the governments of Canada, Mexico and the USA. It’s like neighbors talking to each other on the sidewalk. The SPP has no authority over the governments of any of the three countries. It’s just a mechanism through which meetings and cooperative efforts can be discussed.
To many Ron Paul supporters, such cooperation is regarded as an pathway to one world government, starting with the North American Union and the Amero. But Paul Michael says to look at the web site of the SPP itself, where we will see clear evidence that the Amero will soon strip the USA of its national sovereignty.
So, I took a look at SPP.gov. There’s no mention of any Amero currency at all. Here’s the only mention of currency that I found on the entire site:
“The SPP in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency. The SPP does not attempt to modify our sovereignty or currency or change the American system of government designed by our Founding Fathers.”
We have enough real problems to deal with. Right wing conspiracy theories about imaginary continental, cross-national currencies aren’t what we need our leaders to spend time worrying about.

I mean this with all due respect, but you need to do your research jclifford.
Check out this book(http://www.cfr.org/publication/14534/), released by the CFR cronies last month, it’s called Regional Monetary Integration. It’s a book which talks about integrating a euro style currency here in the US. It’s only assumed that it would be called the Amero, here. Now, if you would just read the CFR’s website.. you will see countless articles and links to CFR members talking all about the “global” economy and globalization, and just like Ron said in the YOUTUBE debate.. it’s a conspiracy of ideas.. whether you believe in our institutions at home or are we going to move into the direction of more world government, aka UN.
The only reason you are having a hard time understanding the current crisis, is because you haven’t done the proper research. I would be more than happy to help you.
firstly, you need to goto CFR.ORG and sign up for their newsletter.. everyday you will get little tidbits that the current CFR friendly presidential candidates have said about the “global” economy.
The European Union was SLOWLY put into place over almost 2 decades under the guises of “free trade” deals.. When a government signs a free trade deal, it isn’t true free trade.. it’s managed trade between governments. They use double speak to make you think it’s a good thing, but it isn’t. no, it’s a business deal. something governments have no business signing. they cost jobs to the PEOPLE, and only prop up the governments. freedom comes from a free economy. If we keep letting them chip away at our National identity.. we will lose it.
we are in crisis mode, and I hope that you will wake up.
cheers.
CFR is the Council for Foreign Relations, a private, non-governmental organization.
So, according to you, Bryan, some people within this non-governmental organziation have released a book which discusses the idea of a currency that would have some aspects of the Euro, but here in North America.
So what?
People write books discussing all sorts of ideas all the time. That doesn’t mean that there’s an actual international conspiracy backed by the U.S. government to put any of those ideas into place.
When people write about the “global” economy, it’s because we live… on… a… globe… known… as… the… planet… Earth.
I don’t know which planet you and Ron Paul live on Bryan. Here on Earth, we need people in our government to pay attention to the global economy of which our national economy is a part.
There was no “guise” under which the European Union was established. There was, for years and years and years, the very open declaration of a goal of a European Union. There is no equivalent of that at all here in North America, except in the fevered imaginations of Ron Paul’s libertarian supporters.
Why are you so concerned about “National Identity”, anyway, Bryan? Are you a nationalist, like those white supremacist supporters of Ron Paul?
There is no crisis. There is no Amero. There is no North American Union, so cheer up.
Please also step back and consider the way that you’re putting little scraps of information together to construct a conspiracy theory that the facts don’t support.
Yes, there is a problem of large social structures making local social structures less relevant, but it’s not coming in the form of a transnational highway or the Amero or the mythical North American Union.
It’s a much more subtle problem than that.
I never said it was a government backed thing. Of course it’s not, and yes, the CFR is a private think tank that believes national sovereignty should be a thing of the past. The slightest bit of effort on your part to look this up will confirm it, but it seems instead you want to spend you time coming up with creative ways to bash me, my ideas, ron paul, and the message of liberty.
what is with comments like this?
“Why are you so concerned about “National Identityâ€, anyway, Bryan? Are you a nationalist, like those white supremacist supporters of Ron Paul?”
Forgive me for wanting to make sure that the ideals of what made america great are preserved for my kids and grandkids. Far be it for me to exercise my right to representation in my government by supporting the candidate that I feel is the most educated about the problems we are facing as a nation.
It is appalling that you equate nationalism with racism. Standing up for the principles of this country is my duty as an american.
Those principles are:
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, individual freedom, free markets (not government managed trade), fiscal government responsibly and not reckless spending, sound money and not counterfeiting (debasing) of our currency, congressional approval of wars not presidential authorization, states rights and not centralized government, personal responsibility and not government dependence, ect.
The fact that you feel the need to be so bashful towards the message of liberty is a sure sign that there is fear rustling in the minds of people like you.
Like Ron Paul said.. it’s not so much an actual physical conspiracy as it is a conspiracy of ideas.. do we believe in our institutions here at home, or are we going to move more in the direction of global governance via the UN through it’s many worldwide bodies of authority, wto, who, ect.
I wish you the best.
one, more thing..
not only is the CFR is a private think tank that believes national sovereignty should be a thing of the past, but most of the current crop of politicians are members of this think tank.. so obviously the views expressed by the group, “abolishment of the concept of national sovereignty”
here are quotes by Richard N. Haass, chairman of the CFR:
“”…a tri-national, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries…. The Council-sponsored Task Force applauds the announced ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,’ but proposes a more ambitious vision of a new community by 2010 and specific recommendations on how to achieve it.”
“”…last fall the Council of Foreign Relations, together with the Mexican Council of Foreign Relations and the Canadian Council of CEOs, launched a Task Force on the future of North America to examine our trilateral relationship and to suggest opportunities for deeper collaboration…..
“We talk about deeper cooperation, both law enforcement and defense….And we’ve opened the door to greater military cooperation on a trilateral basis, including with Mexico.
“…we ought to be looking to a North American energy strategy….
“…this is an opportunity for the three leaders of North American governments to build on a vision of the future, to try to capture what the architecture of a North American community in the 21st century in which China and India are becoming major economic and perhaps military players; in which Europe has coalesced around 25 members, a common currency, and little, if any, border controls internally.”
“What is the FTAA? Answer: You’re not supposed to know….. The FTAA moniker for this legislation itself is a deception: Free Trade Area of the Americas….
“Negotiations on this agreement were initiated… during the Clinton Administration. They are now being vigorously pursued towards completion under the Bush Administration….
“…like its European prototype the FTAA has been carefully constructed as a framework not just as an economic union but also as a political union such as the European Union is in the final stage of becoming. ”
“”Shall we weave then our political structure into harmony with the likes of Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela? These are socialist governments at best. In the end the FTAA is not about trade as much as it is about political disintegration of an old order and integration into some new, political body – a non-elected, supra-national political entity that in its first phase calls for our US Congress to turn over its authority (and our nation’s sovereignty) in matters of trade, labor and environmental law. …”
here are the sources of those quotes:
http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/globalism/cfr.htm
Now, here is a list of current 2008 presidential candidates who are members of these organization who wish to chip away at our foundations.
Democrat CFR Candidates:
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson,
Republican CFR Candidates:
Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Fred Thompson
It is quite obvious that our national sovereignty is indeed under threat.
just to recap in case you got lost in all the quotes and were not able to pull out what is relevant..
Richard Haaas, head of the CFR, said of the Free Trade Area of the Americas, “In the end the FTAA is not about trade as much as it is about political disintegration of an old order and integration into some new, political body – a non-elected, supra-national political entity that in its first phase calls for our US Congress to turn over its authority (and our nation’s sovereignty) in matters of trade, labor and environmental law. …â€
When he speaks of “political disintegration of an old order” he is talking of our national sovereignty, and the idea of what national sovereignty is, because he goes on to say, “its first phase calls for our US Congress to turn over its authority in matters of trade, labor and environmental law.”
He adds, “Talk to your friends in Britain and Germany, who are waking up too late to the fact that the European Union really is a political merger that ends hundreds of years of their national independence.”
So there, in order to understand what is going on, you have to dig in and do some research. The knowledge is there… it’s just the media discredits the idea, despite evidence to the contrary, and people like you, take their deception and run with it. You regurgitate what they feed you without checking the facts for yourself.
You have to realize that the wall street owned corporate media is only interested in promoting ideas that benefit their pocketbooks, and the global economy does just that.. so of course they try to discredit this idea in the media, but for you to push their dis info is a great disservice.. to your intellect, and your individuality.
you said, “There was, for years and years and years, the very open declaration of a goal of a European Union.”
And they will say the same thing once the NAU is implemented as well. I have shown you the quotes.. linked you to the cfr’s website.. shown you their ideology, and shown you which 2008 presidential candidates are members of this group. To say there there doesn’t exist an open declaration is simply a denial of the facts.
sorry for posting so many times, but it takes alot to understand.
happy holidays!
They will say the same thing once the NAU is implemented as well?!? Can you forsee the future, Bryan?
There’s an essential difference between the European Union and the North American Union: The European Union is real, and the North American Union is not.
You and the Ron Paul zombies start out with the assumption that the North American Union, and the Amero, and the sovereignty-destroying highway of doom are real. You build all your assumptions from there, and want to base current government policy on this assumption.
Forgive me for being blunt, but that’s whacked-out.
Even more whacked-out is this “conspiracy of ideas” thing. What, now we’re supposed to get all up in arms when private citizens start thinking certain things?
Thinking is a threat to sovereignty now? Idea crime?
The essence of conspiracy is that the conspiracy goes beyond just thinking something to actively planning it. A conspiracy of ideas is no conspiracy at all.
Calm down, and keep an eye out for those black helicopters from the U.N., okay?

Here you go, Vincente Fox, former President of Mexico talking about a cross-national currency being a long-term plan.
Your point, BUSTED.
Wow, YT. Can you pay attention to detail?
The question was about a single currency for “Latin America” of which the United States is not a part.
Furthermore, the question is to former President of Mexico Vincente Fox. Former means he’s not the President any more.
Busted?!?
Wait, did you NOT hear it when he said ALL of the Americas? Do you need to speak for yourself?
A Trade Union for ALL of the Americas of which a common currency is a part of the long-term project.
Sounds exactly like the European Economic Community to me.
Please don’t be ridiculous. Yes, former President, perhaps; but these dealings are from when he was in office. Your argument style of cherry-picking what people say is dishonest and, frankly, stupid.
I’m curious as to know why you’re so against the possibility. America is a nation where the lead politicians and media openly lie, even about the NAFTA superhighway – which has been revealed as FACT, and then call anyone suggesting otherwise ‘crazy’.
“Forgive me for being blunt, but that’s whacked-out.”
Acutally, what wackedout is that you didn’t read any of the quotes, because you have already made up your mind that the possibility is absurd.
“Thinking is a threat to sovereignty now? Idea crime?”
that is silly. people can think whatever they want, but the cfr believes in global government, and they aren’t just thinking about it, they are implementing their ideas by cultivating political candidates through the media. They then in turn promote “free trade deals,” such as NAFTA, CAFTA, and the FTAA, which have underlying intentions.
Richard Haaas, chairman of the CFR even admitted to this, ““In the end the FTAA is not about trade as much as it is about political disintegration of an old order and integration into some new, political body – a non-elected, supra-national political entity that in its first phase calls for our US Congress to turn over its authority (and our nation’s sovereignty) in matters of trade, labor and environmental law. …â€
He then went on to add, ” “Talk to your friends in Britain and Germany, who are waking up too late to the fact that the European Union really is a political merger that ends hundreds of years of their national independence.—
Keep living in your box if you want to.. i’m just trying to help you.
Bryan, you’re leaping again. You go from one man’s statement to a global conspiracy to end American sovereignty with a highway and a currency that doesn’t exist.
Show me the Amero, Bryan.
What do I need your help form Bryan? To protect me from the Amero “conspiracy of ideas”?
Pardon me if I’m not quaking in my boots.
Tell me though – do you know if anyone is selling a Ron Paul for President tinfoil hat?
J. Clifford, I would sincerely advise you to refrain from getting into this mess. It’s real and it’s one of those things that can keep you up at night. Instead, I would suggest that you continue your meaningless existence and not try to even bother questioning the truth, or people who speak the truth. The “real world” is a scary place with conspiracies going on all the time. It’s a world that you better not acknowledge the existence of lest you become one of the so called conspiracy theorists realizing the truth of the world in which we live. The Amero is real, the CFR has plunged us into many wars in the past… The establishment is very closely aligned with the CFR, and they’re a big part of the real government that runs the United States. Their policies are often implemented.
Perhaps it’s the part where I’m reading the question that asks about uniting “Latin America with one currency”, and then seeing Vincente Fox say that even that idea is on hold, because of Hugo Chavez, and that it would be a long, long term thing even if it were to happen.
YT, can you show me the actual government plan for the Amero? The legislation that’s been drafted by even one of the hundreds of members of Congress? That is what would have to happen for your paranoid fantasy to become a reality, you know.
In 2005, CFR task force co-chairman Pastor testified in Congress in front of the Foreign Relations Committee: “The best way to secure the United States today is not at our two borders with Mexico and Canada, but at the borders of North America as a whole.”[37] The CFR task force he headed called for one border around North America, freer travel within it, and cooperation among Canadian, Mexican and American military forces and law enforcement for greater security. It called for full mobility of labor among the three countries within five years, similar to the European Union.[5] He also appeared at a CFR forum called “The Future of North American Integration in the Wake of the Terrorist Attacks” on October 17, 2001, discussing the prospect of North American integration in the wake of the September 11 attacks.[38] Conservative commentator Phyllis Schlafly wrote of the 2005 report, “This CFR document, called ‘Building a North American Community,’ asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin ‘committed their governments’ to this goal when they met at Bush’s ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America and assigned ‘working groups’ to fill in the details.”[39] The document advocated allowing companies to recruit workers from anywhere within North America and called for large loans and aid to Mexico from the US. It called for a court system for North American dispute resolution and said that illegal aliens should be allowed into the United States Social Security system through the Social Security Totalization Agreement. The report called for a fund to be created by the US to allow 60,000 Mexican students to attend US colleges. The report says the plan can be carried out within five years. Other members of the task force included former Massachusetts governor William Weld and immigration chief for President Clinton, Doris Meissner.
Pastor wrote in Foreign Affairs:
“The U.S., Mexican, and Canadian governments remain zealous defenders of an outdated conception of sovereignty even though their citizens are ready for a new approach. Each nation’s leadership has stressed differences rather than common interests. North America needs leaders who can articulate and pursue a broader vision… Countries are benefited when they changed these [national sovereignty] policies, and evidence suggests that North Americans are ready for a new relationship that renders this old definition of sovereignty obsolete.”[40]
“Not J. Clifford” – Why should I believe any of this, in spite of the evidence of any real plan for the Amero??
Because YOU say so, when you won’t even reveal your real name?
Oh, wait. Is this because THEY are out to get you, for bravely speaking out against the new Galactic Imperium? You and your plucky band of rebel fighters, led by a young man from Tatooine…
I can imagine if they’re talking about sharing labor, laws, end to national sovereignty, and so on then for sure there will be a single currency to go along with the plan…
“Not J. Clifford” – when you cite Phyllis Schlafly as a source, your credibility rating suffers a bit.
These people are talking about shifts in conceptions of sovereignty, not actually doing away with sovereignty, and no one is mentioning the Amero, and they’re not in the government, they’re in a private organization.
Now American sovereignty is going to end through an army of college students?
You’re clutching at straws. Show me the Amero!
http://www.designscomputed.com/coins/r_eagle_lib_20amero_pl.jpg
Allow me to sum up this argument.
Us: Here are all the data about the possibility of a NAU and the Amero with quotes from established think tanks of which our political leaders are members of. These groups are responsible for setting the policies for many things, like the Iraq War, and serve to set the discourse in Washington and in the media.
You: Show me the Amero!
You lose.
Some advice for you: your reliance on the “official” story isn’t going to cut it if you want to get an honest view of politics. The official story was that there were WMDs. The official story was that the Democrats were going to end the war and fight Bush. Politicians lie; deal with it.
“Not J. Clifford”
You do know that that coin is made by a non-governmental group here in the United States, right? It’s not an official coin any more than the Ron Paul dollar coin is. Note from Daniel Carr, the guy who privately minted them himself: “My goal with these coins is not to endorse a Union of North America or a common “Amero” currency. I fully support the United States Constitution, and I would not welcome (in any form) a diminishment of its provisions. I expect that these coins will help make more people aware of the issue and the possible ramifications. I leave it up to others to decide if they are in favor of, or against a North American Union. And I encourage citizens to voice their approval or disapproval of government plans that impact them.”
Allow me to sum up, YT: You haven’t shown me any “data”. You’ve not shown me a genuine Amero. You’ve not demonstrated any government effort to create an Amero.
You’ve also not addressed the SPP’s explicit statement that there is no intention to undo American sovereignty or create a transnational currency.
The Council for Foreign Relations is not responsible for setting the policy of the government. They try to influence, like many groups and businesses and individuals do.
Why do you want to believe in this, despite the striking lack of evidence for it?
What does your belief in the Amero legend do for you, emotionally? Does it make you feel like a brave little outsider, or like you’re in on a great secret, like that cheesy Nicholas Cage series – National Treasure?
Roswell, Roswell . . .
J Clifford
I am wondering if the photo of yourself (very emo) was taken, or updated after reading all the great replies to this ingenius post of yours.
BTW, those are some cute doodles.
No, I’ve been very emo for some months now. I’m also rather accustomed to fishing for libertariatrout by now.
Thanks.
J. Clifford is using a strawman argument. He asks for something he knows can not be produced, an actual amero, and then when it can’t be produced, he proclaims victory. You can’t argue with a person like this.
He doesn’t care about facts, or anything else.
The idea of a NAU is out there, and it’s floating around private citizens who have connections to people in the government, and while there might not be actual legislation at this point in this, the incremental steps needed to make the NAU happen are slowing being put in place. This starts with an incremental shift in the concept Americans have of national sovereignty.
Pastor said, “The U.S., Mexican, and Canadian governments remain zealous defenders of an outdated conception of sovereignty. North America needs leaders who can articulate and pursue a broader vision…”
If we consider that almost all 2008 presidential candidates are members of the CFR, then we can see that they are making good on that statement, and have stacked the deck with their members.
That has to at least concern you, J. Clifford. Are you so sure that these people have nothing but good intentions for you and the country?? Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Would you say that I am wrong to want to try and protect freedom???
No, jClifford is goth.

And why does the activism sketch have horns and the conversation sketch have teeth–shouldn’t it be the other way around?
The only people I have heard advance the idea of a North American union and currency are the libertarians. They invented the idea and they are propagating it with their fearmongering schtick, but it is they who are spreading the idea and pretending it is actually viable. Who knows, maybe if they keep talking it up, people will start to take the idea seriously and it will indeed come to pass.
If I had the thirty bucks or whatever it is, I would join the Council on Foreign Relations too. In fact, maybe I did already–when you join you get a discount on their speaker series, and here they have had some pretty big name speakers like Madeline Albright.
But aren’t they really the Illuminati…
Iroquois has a great point. The Amero and the North American Union are spectres used to justify otherwise nasty, brutish, uncaring neglect.
Yes, the idea of the North American Union, and the Amero are out there, discussed without much dedication by a few think tanks… and discussed with great dedication by libertarians and other Ron Paul fans.
I’m concerned about threats to freedom that are taking place now, not about mythical highways of doom and coins of infamy, Bryan.
Think torture. Think government espionage. These things are real, and they’re happening right now. The actual government is doing them – not just think tanks.
Coins don’t hurt people. Torture does.
Enjoy regurgitating your MSM facts.
Funny thing is, you keep mentioning the highway.. i have never mentioned it once.
You must be the most closed minded, and hard headed person ever.. at least read the information presented to you,and stop trying to hammer you point in, even after you have been shown the intent on behalf of politicians who are members of the CFR.
I’ll leave you with tiny tidbit.
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident.â€
Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher, 1788-1860
Take a look at Irregular Times, Bryan, and you’ll see that we’re by no means regurgitators of the mainstream media.
As for facts, well, facts are facts, and quoting Schopenhauer doesn’t change them.
Fact: There is no Amero.
Fact: There is no North American Union.
Fact: Nobody in government is trying to change the first two facts.
Bryan, why don’t you re-read this piece of information, and tell me what part of it you don’t understand: “The SPP in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency. The SPP does not attempt to modify our sovereignty or currency or change the American system of government designed by our Founding Fathers.â€
Dude, you need to take a look at the dollar. Buying power is dropping every year – and fast. You can also look at long term historical currency values and see inflation is almost always only in countries with a central printing bank/government. It doesn’t take a genius to realize the “flight to quality” now driving the treasuries could very quickly become a flight to non-US currency.
Not too many presidential candidates have picked up on this national sovereignty issue (see the position matrix at http://ww.gouno.com/) but the right to print currency was granted as a sovereign right to the national government; and not to a central bank. You might also want to remember that state and even community currencies were common in this country less than 150 years ago: the present government recently shut down one business who issues metal-backed currency but some other countries could start to do that. In fact, Islam teaches the unit of currency should contain a certain percentage (say 95%’ish I think) of gold; so, a true Islamic country would have a gold-backed currency. Like other religious groups, the Saudi Arabians and other Islamic countries have chosen to ignore some teachings of Islam as they choose.
My point, thousands of years ago the problem of a stable currency was well-known. Today, we live in a credit culture and ignore historical precedence and also the signs of the dollar collapse. I’m sure retirees are not ignoring this problem!
Wow….I love how you blindly accept quotes from the SPP as the truth. As YT said…politicians lie. Just as if you asked someone currently working in a health insurance agency if they deliberately turned down coverage for someone in need because it was their job…they would lie.
The beauty of our freedoms and of being human, is that we all can think for ourselves, and question everything to form our own opinions. Not to just blindly believe everything that is told to us.
And to stop you before you decide I’m just another one of “those Ron Paul supporters”…before I read these posts I had never heard of Ron Paul, nor do I claim to be of any particular political “camp”. I actually tried like the dickens to avoid any political debate or talk…hell…Obama was the 1st president I ever voted for (at the age of 33), although I am now wishing I hadn’t.
And now that I’m “waking up” and paying attention, absorbing info, and questioning everything..I’m finding out that this country is going down the dumps, no ifs, ands or buts.
The people are letting themselves be controlled by the mass media, which is controlled by the government, which is controlled by the banks.
It’s time for everyone to do what I have only started to to…WAKE UP, PEOPLE!
REVOLT…TAKE BACK YOUR FREEDOMS. It’s probably too late for us…but it’s not for our children & their children & generations to come. But it could be if we don’t wake the eff up!
