The NAFTA Superhighway.

By now all United States citizens should know of the NAFTA superhighway that is being built, and cuts a swath four football fields wide, through the heartland of the United States, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas to the Canadian border at Duluth, Minnesota.

The ultimate purpose is for Far East cargo to bypass United States ports on the West Coast (putting United States dock workers out of jobs) so that Mexico can hire dock workers, at Mexico's traditional starvation wage, at the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas. It would appear that these tactics are viewed, by some, as necessary to bring the cost of Far East imports down.

However, this asks the question, "Why aren't the world's human rights advocates making more noise, championing better work environments for the Mexican citizen?" The flight of the Mexican Citizen, over the United States border, to escape starvation conditions there, is unprecedented. These hypocritical human rights advocates certainly make a lot of noise regarding China's abuse of their workers and refer to their factories as "sweatshops", yet Mexico continues to get a free pass from these individuals. Perhaps they have come to accept illegal immigration to the United States as an appropriate safety valve to solve the Mexican worker's woes in their home country. This is unacceptable.

One of the, unanticipated, costs of doing business in the North American Union's alliance with Mexico will come from the rival drug gangs themselves, as the goods that are shipped into Mexican ports are hijacked in Mexico on their journey to the United States along the Mexican link of the NAFTA superhighway. Recently reported gun battles raging through the streets of Tijuana exemplify just how powerless the Government of Mexico is in controlling these gangs. Driven by profit, these drug gangs will not be so proud that they will ignore the immense profit in hijacking convoys of goods as they pass over Mexican soil on their way to their other trading partners north of the Mexican border. This new business opportunity for the Mexican drug cartels will have 0% overhead and 100% profitability, all sponsored by the North American Union.

The sacrifice of productive United States workers for the benefit of Mexican drug gangs is not unprecedented in the recent history of the United States. Recently, there were two Border Patrol agents by the name of Compean and Ramos who were prosecuted by a United States Attorney, Johnny Sutton and convicted, for doing their job. The star witness against them was a Mexican drug dealer by the name of Osvaldo Aldrete Davila who was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony against the Border Patrol Agents, even as he continued to smuggle drugs during the trial. However, this information, regarding his illicit activities, was prohibited from reaching the jurors ears by the presiding judge.

The acceptance of these types of political prosecutions, convictions, and imprisonments by the United States' Criminal Justice System is further evidence that "We the people" have hit the slippery slope, descending from morality and justice into the Third World.

Clearly this, together with a total lack of action to rectify this outrageous situation, sends a clear message to the citizens of the United States that they will have to lower their moral standards and accept corruption on both sides of the border in the name of the North American Union. After all, it is easier to descend into a pit than to climb a mountain to stand on a pinnacle.

I fail to see any benefit to the United States in this trade-off.

Dead soldiers make good press?

First, it was the Islamic Jihadists airing a video clip of soldiers being blown up by an IED (Improvised Explosive Device), for the purpose of promoting their "kill Americans" campaign, and now, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) is distributing a similar (some say the same), overdubbed, video clip in their "Anti McCain" campaign according to "newsmax.com". While there are some news outlets who are refusing to run the clip, the damage for the DNC has already been accomplished in their creation and promotion of the ad. The rancor of the internal conflict within the DNC is not enough for these political cannibals. There is irreparable damage within the party which will NOT be reconciled before November 5th, and now, even dead soldiers are grist for their propaganda mill in an all-out attempt to wrest power at any cost.

If this, thoughtless, demagoguery is the way in which the DNC treats loyal U.S. troops who risk their lives every day, how many more wars will the Democrats start when the world leaders do not share the Democrat's viewpoints? The venom of the Democratic Party knows no limits and their philosophy of "A few dead soldiers makes good press" is unconscionable.

Food riots, coming to a town near you soon.

Currently these food riots, protesting food shortages, are occurring in, what could be considered, developing Third World countries. Reportedly, countries such as Haiti, Indonesia, and several African nations. However, before we, fat-cat Americans, get too smug regarding our perceptions of immunity from such things, you better be prepared and wake up because the underpinnings of your beliefs are being eroded by food shortages and food rationing, here in the good old USA, even as you sleep.

It is being reported by The New York Sun, Fox News and other news outlets that Costco is leading the way in food rationing with their stores in Queens, NY and Mountain View, CA that have, reportedly, imposed strict limits on the purchases of flour, cooking oil and rice.

The lack of export restrictions on grain from the US is leaving us with shortages and, for the first time in history, the breadbasket of the world is now importing wheat. The environmentalist's demand that we convert to biofuels has been very unhelpful and our grain and corn products are now being price driven and consumed by the energy markets in the form of ethanol.

The price of our food will continue to skyrocket, not only because it costs more in fuel to transport it, but because our food is being viewed by the environmentalists as energy in and of itself. The rapidly rising oil prices will directly effect the price of a bushel of wheat. Wheat that can be converted to ethanol.

Even though the rationing is in the beginning stages, it is a harbinger of things to come as our food continues in short supply and ending up in our gas tanks instead of on our table.

The United States is awash in undeveloped oil reserves, both in the Gulf of Mexico and in the North of Alaska, but the environmentalists don't want you to have it. They would rather create artificial petroleum shortages and take the food off of your table, out of the mouths of your children, and put it in your gas tank.

Visions of the movie "Soylent Green" loom, darkly, in our future.

If you know an environmentalist whacko, the next time you see them, ask them why they support a system that will, ultimately, lead to your children going hungry. They will, probably, beat a rapid retreat to their Mercedes and drive off, never to be heard from again.

As it is now, and until hydrogen fuel cell technology is developed to commercial levels, fossil fuels should be for burning and food should be for eating.
