It will only be a matter of time before Americans start waking up and recognizing that there is a bigger picture behind the loss of our American manufacturing base. The big picture I am talking about should not be dismissed by the mainstream media as being a philosophy of “kooks” (Jerry Brown, Ralph Nader, Pat Buchanan?) Let's really dig into what George Bush Sr. meant when he used the phrase, “new world order.”

And let's ask why so many of our politicians, once elected, seem to forget all about us and start marching to the beat of another drummer entirely, one with ideas and goals totally foreign to the average American out here.

If you would like to see a bigger picture behind the loss of America's manufacturing base and seemingly inexplicable problems like that of an out-of-control border in a time of war, there's a short-cut to figuring these things out. The next time you're puzzled about the latest whacked out, anti-American, misanthropic agenda that is being pushed by the government/big media complex, try going to the Web site for foreign affairs (foreignaffairs.org), a journal published by the Council on Foreign Relations. If you read these articles carefully you may well conclude that there is indeed some kind of agenda among some of the most powerful people in the world (a la George Soros) to create a global superstate.

As the articles you see will attest, work has already begun on creating a single state comprised of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. The very concepts of trilateralism and a global superstate pose a threat to our national character as a people - to everything that is good about our nation and our constitutional system.

I hope that other educated Americans will pause to give these troubling issues some consideration.
