Unhappy camper

In the summer of 2006 I was at the Big Creek campground on the North Fork of the Flathead for the 14 days allowed, and I had a great time. I asked the host about how much time was needed to be able to stay another 14 days, but she didn’t know. She let me stay another 14 days. Jump ahead a year. In July 2007 I went to Big Creek again and there were sites available. I occupied a camping spot and paid the fee for one night. The host asked me how long I planned to camp. I told here I had decided to pay for one night at a time until one of the nicer sites opened up. She said some of the sites were reserved for her family reunion. The next morning, on Saturday, I went to pay the fee, and I saw that the No. 13 site was vacant. So I occupied the site and paid for four nights. Sunday afternoon, I received a note saying that campsite was reserved. I told host I was planning to finish my 14 days there. She said no, that site is reserved. When I asked how that was possible in a first-come first-serve campground, she said someone had accessed the Web site and saw the group-use area was booked, which meant they could reserve camp sites. But no campers used that campsite for the full 10 days I was there. Still, I moved my camp. On Monday morning, there were reserved signs on sites 13, 14, 16 and 17. When I spoked to recreation forester in Hungry Horse, she confirmed that reservations are not accepted at that campground. If any of your readers have had to pass up a camp site at Big Creek, the reservatons were not legal, and many were probably over the 14-day limit. Their rights to access have been taken and given to family and friends of the camp host. Not a happy camper. Mark Hanson, Kalispell.

Conspiracies may be real

The term "conspiracy" is tossed around a lot. If something appears too extreme and unbelievable to be true it is easily labeled a conspiracy with a giggle, a wink and rolling of the eyes. That is unfortunately why many critical, current events are escaping scrutiny, completely overlooked by an uninformed, naive public, news media, and even our elected government officials . Unfortunately just because something is labeled a conspiracy does not necessarily mean that a conspiracy does not exist or that it is not actually happening. Even when authoritative, credible information is available it is often shrugged off by those who cannot accept the fact that such happenings are possible.

The North American Union (NAU) and the (Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) do exist and have been under extensive development and planning for years without notification and involvement of Congress until very recently. Fortunately last week a vote passed in Congress on an Amendment to a bill which would restrict funding for SPP. ( H.R. 3074,Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008) Last week's press release quoted resolution HCR 40, "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not . . . enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada." I see here the potentially disastrous combination of NAU, SPP, NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC), and obvious deliberate fumbling by our administration of the illegals problem and Mexican invasion, all of which are closely linked and not by accident.

The NAU will be roughly patterned after the European Union (EU) and is being promoted through an end-run around our Congress and national sovereignty. It is the product of the Executive Branch and involves strategies for negotiating trade treaties directly through the President. We are seeing as appointees in the Executive Branch, a preponderance of Trilateral Commission members as well as the Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderbergers who are strong proponents of globalism, modern day "World Order".

Treaties and trade agreements such as General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) can supersede constitutional law. Fast Track authority provides Presidential action by-passing Congress, which made possible NAFTA in 1994 and the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) in 2005. NAFTA, as Ross Perot predicted did in fact produce the giant sucking sound of manufacturing going south across the border, which in the end hurt not only the United States, but also the economy of Mexico.

Dr. Robert Pastor appeared on the stage pushing "deep integration" in his book, "Toward a North American Union", published in 2001. He wrote a paper "A Modest Proposal to the Trilateral Commission" in which he recommended a reorganization of the entire North American continent. He was appointed vice-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations task force with 23 members from Canada, United States and Mexico. These three countries, all planned behind closed doors, were to be linked and bound together as a North American Community, not exactly a modest proposal. Dr. Robert Pastor, who was director of the Office of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs, had a central role in the giveaway of the Panama Canal in 1975.

Following the report from this task force the leaders of these three countries met together in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005. World Net Daily reported: "The White House has established working groups, under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, attended by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. The article even admitted that the Council on Foreign Relations, often the bane of paranoid conspiracy theorists, played a fundamental role in crafting the policy for the homogenization of the US, Canada and Mexico." ( www.spp.gov.) A second annual summit meeting took place March 30-31 in Cancun, Mexico. Apparently these SPP summits resulted in no signed agreements, but were accomplished through a series of regulations and executive decrees to avoid citizen watchdogs and legislative oversight. The SPP in the U.S. is under the Dept. of Commerce and other Executive Branch agencies reporting to Commerce.

The framework on which the American Union is being pegged is the NAFTA Super Highway (now called Trans-Texas Corridor) four football-fields-wide stretching from southern Mexico through the US up to Montreal Canada with the receiving port in Kansas City. Ultimately it will have numerous spurs throughout the country. It is designed as a toll road with even toll overpasses, (few in number) with self-contained services thus eliminating economic benefit to local economies. The contract is owned by Cintra corporation, which in turn is owned by the King of Spain. Do you suppose this is an indication that Spanish (Mexican employed) will be spoken during the construction and operation of this highway? The stated target for full implementation of the North American Union is 2010. With the planned ultimate dissolving of the Mexican border and the merging of the two societies and cultures, is it any wonder that no significant current effort is being made to close those borders? Canada is also beginning to express concerns.

Obviously there has been much planning underway in secrecy by a very small group of powerful globalists to restructure the entire North American Continent. Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Freedom 21 Conference in Dallas, Texas and hear the lectures being given by key leaders in that state concerning this entire operation. They are witness to the secrecy, pitfalls and extensive illegalities in the entire planning process. There is increasing alarm and growing resistance by citizens of Texas and Oklahoma about the TCC. Their comments and additional information would constitute another lengthy article. Apparently members of Congress are finally being made aware of this complex scheme, but it certainly lacks open publicity. We all need to retain contact with our Congressmen, express our concerns and voice our opinions on this highly critical matter which could constitute a major turning point in the history of our nation. Our very constitution, form of government and way of life is likely at stake.
