How come cops in NZ can figure out the TRUE causes of traffic

Revenue and power, power power!!!!!!

Why is it that I could care less about revenue, and my power stays the same,
no matter how many people I pull over?

Because you're just one of the cannon fodder following orders.

However checkpoints and defining the majority of the population as
violators of the law gives your masters more power and money.

I'm an equal-opportunity employee.  The ethnicity of my boss has never been

I wasn't talking about ethnicity, but of what nation's government he
comes from.

The merging of buracracies via the SPP is no delusion. You really need to
pay attention to what's going on in the world. Even top bankers are now
talking about the Amero.

My assumption is that that signing statement was a tacit admission that
the administration is already reading mail that we assumed that it
didn't have the authority to read.  Kind of like the wiretapping thing.

None of those cites show "merging" of any type.  They do show
cooperation, which is most decidedly not the same thing.

Actually, considering the amount of shared border, and cross-traffic,
some sort of security arrangements make sense, from a "let's not
duplicate efforts and cost" tax money standpoint.

Neither one of those things shows what you claim is true.  Cooperation
between entities is not the same as merged entities.  And an
intelligent design proponent can speak on CNBC at any time - but that
doesn't make intelligent design any more or less legitimate.

That's a nice red herring.  But if you recall, in the '80s, Reagan was
told to lay off the Sandinistas.  By Congress.  So it *does* happen.

And he'll continue to do it after he's out of office?  And just because
he wants to doesn't mean he can, legally.

Which has turned out to be more Chicken Little than actual reality.  Or

The idea itself is so silly as to not warrant discussion.  Like the UN

But if it exists, it's a good thing...

The merging is the harmonizing of regulation, the integration of
operation. To me, this is a mergining of burcracies. Burcracies working
together as one under regulations formulated from bringing those of all
three nations together, ie, merged.

The new spp website is so santizied from what it used to be. Wonder why?

Why don't you read the CFR publications on the Amero then, the vice
president is a member and former director of the CFR, I think he holds a
government post, that is if you want someone with a government post.

citizens?

The old 'it might be different tomorrow so don't worry about it'. And
legal? Legal doesn't count for much in this nation when it comes to
limiting government any more. Been through a checkpoint lately? Those
aren't legal either. Ask jaybird, legal is anything the doomsmen

Guess I am suppose to think it's a good thing to have manufacturing in
China, goods off loaded in Mexico and delivered throughout the US by
mexican truckers on roads controlled by a spainish corporation..

Really? So silly that a group to which the vice president of the USA
belongs, which has historically, eventually gotten what it wants, wants
it.

"The new world order will be built...an end run on national sovereignty,
eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much than the old fashioned
frontal assault." - Council on Foreign Relations Journal 1974, p.558

"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only
question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or
consent." -Paul Warburg, Council on Foreign Relations and architect of
the Federal Reserve System in an address to the US Senat, 17-Feb-1950.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine, and
other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and
respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have
been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been
subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the
world is more sophisticated and prepared to march to towards a world
government. THe supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and
world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination
practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Private Banker,
Council on Foreign Relations, June 1991.

Yeah, just silly stuff, by silly people.

You forgot that george bush is actually a space alien, like in 'They
Live' and that the invasion of Iraq was to get the ancient alien
technology and the UFO that Saddam got after it crashed in Iraq.

If you'd actually like to convince me that the SPP, entered into outside
the tready process is nothing to worry about go ahead. But if you want to
just dismiss it as wacky by created associations, there is no point in
discussing it.

That there are some folks who think "zebra" when they hear hoofbeats is
beyond my ability to explain.

There is nothing in ANY of your cites or quotes that proves your
claims.  But hey, did you know that Nostradamus predicted Hitler?  Some

The old increase the standard. As far as my comment to jaybird, if you
notice the spp groups are composed of people from all three nations.
There need not exist a chain of command outside the buracracy. The groups
are the command.

You asked for people with government posts. Now you say their opinions
are worthless. Same old song and dance. You make a demand, I meet it,

anything, that's just kookiness, right ?

>> Would you prefer Lou Dobbs of CNN?

I didn't say we are going to amero and neither did he. However it's on

attention, they might get their wish.

Let's see, the fed is printing dollars increasing the supply at 10% a
year, china refuses to let their currency float against the dollar, China
has a pile of dollars that is staggering, they are loaning them back to
the federal government to pay for the war in Iraq, China wants Taiwan but
the US stands in the way, demand for the dollar is tied to oil but oil
producers are exploring other currencies to sell their oil in, the dollar
has fallen dramatically against the euro, and a few other things I've
missed. Not like the stage isn't set for another dollar crisis. It's not
like the fed can just goto double digit intrest rates like it did in the
early 80s. That in a nutshell, is the reasoning of how an amero can come
about. Care to tell me what is 'circular'? Looks linear to me.

Now as to why the amero....

Then tell me why there's nothing to be concerned about, besides that rosy
'things can change'. Of course things can change, but it's a lot more
difficult to set things right after they've been changed for the worse
than pay attention and stop it in the first place.

GWB doesn't exist? Dick Cheney doesn't exist? David Rockefeller doesn't
exist? Hmmm... maybe they combine and form the loch ness monster?

> "The sky is falling!"

Gee... a buracracy creating regulation with the weight of law across
three nations established with the approval of only three men and nothing
else spending untold amounts of money in reshaping the economies of said
three nations is nothing. I guess the US constitution really is a
goddamn piece of paper then.

Ya think that maybe "We the people" should have something to say about
this, or at least the congress. Instead it's secret and the documents
need to be dragged out through FIA requrests and court battles.

And I'm crazy for being concerned about it.

> Their opinions are worthless.  Just like GWB's opinion on what subject

He signed us into the SPP all by his lonesome... Last I read the US
constitution calling a treaty an agreement doesn't change what it is.
It's beyond the constitution and clearly supports the aims of the CFR. Or
maybe I could be less worried if the real core of what's going wasn't
kept secret. But I'm just the crazy person who doesn't trust a government
to do what's best for him.

It will happen if we all bury our heads in the sand and dismiss what is
happening as kooky nonsense the way you'd have it. That's what
kookification is all about, to dismiss any one who is critical of and get
most people to ignore it.

>> Of course if we all declare it wacky stuff and don't pay

Hmm.. We have a body that is deciding regulation for the united states of
america with ZERO accountability to the people, to the congress... a by
pass of the treaty process. More than that, much of what they are doing
is being kept a secret, only to be released with a court battle if at
all. Nothing to be concerned about at all... only the people with the
best intentions would operate like that.

Yeah, so was using planes crashing into buildings as an excuse to short
circuit the Bill of Rights. Before 11-sept-2001, it's was the realm of
kooks. Then there is how it is required that we have permission to leave and
enter the country. Anyone who may have said that even a year ago, he would
have been dismissed as a kook. But this month it becomes reality. A few
years ago the national ID card was something kooks talked about while
rational people like you would say it could never happen. Then the Real
ID act passed. My road to being a kook happened because I couldn't
dismiss the kooks any more, they just kept being correct and the things
they said kept coming to pass. And it is plain as day, all you have to do
is read the published plans from places like the CFR, PNAC, etc and so
forth. There's no crystal ball required, it's all laid out.

He will be office serveral days in Jan 09, which is past 2008. Past 2008
begins, jan 1 until the new president takes the oath, 2009 GWB will be in
office, and hence in office past 2008. Sure, it's a technicality, but you
play them, so I might as well.

I've observed what has been going on nationally and locally in the last

restricting government. I would suggest you read the US constitution and
Bill of Rights and then some of the legislation and actions of government
in the last several years and see for yourself.

The great thing about having something declared wacky, kooky, is that all
the 'rational and sane' people think it can never happen. Somebody will
stop it. Who's that somebody? It wasn't that long ago that the national
ID was one of those kooky things that would never happen. But sure
enough, those pesky folks with the power and influence found a way to
make it happen with the Real ID act. Everyone dismissed it as kooky. Even
I thought, 'that would never happen'. Sure enough, it did.

So let's do nothing to stop it then. After all, it could never happen.
Only a kook would be concerned about it. It's likely to happen so long as
it is dismissed as wacky. The problem is, those who want it aren't
wearing tin foil hats in their mothers' basements, they are in positions
of power and working towards making it happen.

Why do with legislation what one can do with just executive power? The

problem.

Or, you may be pretending to be obtuse.

Let's see regulations are being modified buy trilateral working groups
with no accountability what so ever to the congress or the people via an
agreement that the president alone signed into. The documents they create
and what they are doing is secret unless forced out by lawsuit. And I am
the kooky one to think they are up to no good. They listen to and take
ideas from the CFR, CFR members are involved and I'm kooky for thinking
they are working towards the published goals of the CFR.

Stick your head in the sand and claim it will never happen here. Bet you
said that about a national ID card a few years back. Sometime around may
2008, all states must make their issued drivers licenses comply with
national ID card requirements. If the state does not, they lose highway
funds and citizens of the state cannot use it to fly. The typical federal
government blackmail that brought us over two decades of the NMSL.

I'll bet some years ago you wouldn't think that we would all need
permission from 'home land security' to leave or re-enter the country.
You would have said that was doomsaying nonsense that would never happen.
This month it happens.

Sorry Ed, it can happen here, and so long as most people believe it can't
they'll be brought to a slow boil and one day they'll wake up and wonder
how the hell we ended up living in a north american union and needing to
pass through checkpoints just to get to work in the morning. The
alternative is to be a 'kook' and think about what certain groups are
doing one small step at a time by educating ourselves to what their
published long term goals are.

I don't see you complaining I am a doomsayer when I say the goal of MADD
is neoprohibition. MADD has published their goals to have all vehicle
with breathlyzer interlocks and legal BAC levels of .05 just as the
groups that want a north american union have published their goals. The only
difference is, MADD members aren't in office and no working groups have
been approved by the president set federal driving regulations in the
direction of MADD's goals.

If your point was to show 'belief' you could have chosen a belief that

Now you're just arguing to argue.  I'll quote the relevant passage:

[I replied]

Err, I found entries for the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot and Intelligent
Design.  A bunch of folks talking in circles about something mythical
doesn't make it real.

Spin some more, LOL.

What I find amusing is that you deny doing what you chide others for. Yet,
when you pick something, it's not cherry picking, there's no intent, no
thought behind it, just pure random chance you picked 'bigfoot' instead of
'giant squid', the 'loch ness monster' instead of 'Thylacine', and
'intelligent design' instead of 'god'.

> Spin some more, LOL.

Of course it's interesting how you focus on this instead of where 'kooks'
and 'wacky' people have been correct.

Giant squid really exist, unlike bigfoot and the Amero

Intelligent design and God sort of go hand-in-hand.

Since you missed the intent, and have to have it spelled out for you
(not only in the original post where I mentioned these things, but just
about every post thereafter), let me say it yet again:  just because
there's a wiki entry on something doesn't make it valid or real.  Now,
if you wish to believe otherwise, that's fine.  Your deliberate
misrepresentation has now become a red herring.

> > Spin some more, LOL.

Because there are many more instances where the kooks have been dead
wrong.  All through history.  Running out of oil, domino theory,
witches in Salem, Red scare, etc, etc, etc.

The fact that some folks get lucky in predicting something doesn't
imply their next prediction is any less wacky, or any more likely to
come to pass.

HTH.

We only have photographs of giant squid and we have only photographs,
footprints and hair samples of bigfoot. Unless you mean the monster truck
bigfoot, which we really do know exists.

And BTW, nice strawman, nobody claimed the amero presently existed.

One is considered 'wacky' the other isn't.

You cherry picked to create the wacky and kooky perception. That was
purposeful and with intent as you proved in other portions of your post.

Hmm.. I argue that tim osmond is a boogie man (modern red scare) and that
the world is awash in oil. That's what todays 'kooks' argue. Today's
mainstream tells us about 'peak oil', today's mainstream tells us to be
affraid of OBL and friends. You need to pick better 'kooks'

Anyway, what I was getting at is best summed up by the three stages of
truth.

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.  Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident."   - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)

Really?  There are normal folks who fervently believe in both.  I don't
consider either to be "wacky."

What strawman?  That a wiki is not an authoritative source?

I don't know tim osmond, and there is debate, HONEST debate on how much
oil there really is.  So the kook factor goes away on those.

OBL and friends have actually attacked us.  And want to again.  What's
your point?

And some truths never were truths to begin with.  You seem to have
difficulty discerning the difference.

There are folks who "fervently believe" in big foot and/or the loch ness
monster.

I didn't argue it was nor present it as. I used it as a source of further
links.

Tim Osmond is the name for the CIA asset known commonly as Osama Bin Laden.

You might want to check into that claim some. The hair samples for big
foot are more credible than the list of 19.

Exactly.  Fervent belief in the Amero, or it's coming DOESN'T MAKE IT

Which also aren't authoritative, and also don't point to the impending
change of currency.

No they aren't.  Black-helicopter types have no proof of some big
conspiracy theory - just a lot of Art Bell/numerology/astrology
bullshit.

Not *that's* kook-land.

I don't have one.  Unless you mean a passport.  Funny, other countries
require that I have one to come in.  I guess I could pull a Ted
Kazinski and live in a remote shack somewhere - but then where would I
get my supply of foil for lining my hat?

LMAO.

impending... damn that makes something easy to knock down.

Strawman. Never said he didn't once exist.

BTW, The man is almost certainly dead if reports on his health were
correct. According to reports he was suffering from end stage
kidney disease 5+ years ago. Typical life expectency on 3 times a week
dialysis in the USA as perscribed by typical insurance and government
coverage is 5 years with a low quality of life. Something tells me OBL
wasn't even getting that low standard of care.

CBS News report on several of the highjackers being still alive. Then the
magical passport. Various reports of several of the 19 having been
connected to US military and intelligence. You might want to look into it.

> Not *that's* kook-land.

It's mainstream news that wasn't on the front page.

You'll have a national ID by 2008 unless the state you live in rebels and
decides to live without highway funds.

"Top bankers are talking about the Amero."

You wrote that, then went on to try and prove its "reality."

Then you said you meant to say something else (other than top bankers),
and now you're disassociating yourself from this fictional currency.

Good to see you're finally, almost, retracting what you originally
wrote.

Damn, but you're thick.

No, I went to show it was being talked about.

It won't be real until it's implemented. Of course if we all just go 'it
can never happen' and stick our heads in the sand, that implementation
becomes a whole lot easier. Waiting until the work is done is foolish as
it is more difficult to undo things than it is to prevent them from being
done. But to do that, one has to be aware of the plans, the desires, of
those pushing the current steps in that direction. World government and
world currency is the desire, the plan is step wise and stoping the
regional steps is easier than trying to change it once it's done. This
isn't rocket science, it's all written down. It's about as kooky as
thinking PNAC members will follow PNAC plans.

> Good to see you're finally, almost, retracting what you originally

I haven't. It is being talked about in circles of banking and finance and
such. Just read the plans of the CFR and similiar orgs.

> Damn, but you're thick.

And folks talk about UFOs, too.  So what?  By typing the words
"sticking your head in the sand", you are attempting to suggest the
thing is coming.  It doesn't exist, it's not being talked about by top
bankers, and only kooks think even a microsecond on it.

I'll worry about the aliens plans for earth politically and economically
when one a vice president of the USA. I'll be concerned about the amero
when a CFR member is the vice president of the USA. Opps, we do have a
CFR member for a vice president. Look into who Robert Pastor is and what
he has published.

So, this so-called "threat" will last another 2 years and 2 weeks (or
so) and nobody will think any more on it.  Well, some folks will - just
like those who are convinced that a cruise missle is what hit the
Pentagon.

Well, I for one am relieved to hear the Amero is just a pipe dream of
some radical fringe folks who will retire to their bunkers in two years
and some.  Why didn't you just say that in the first place?

I guess it really isn't as bad as you've made it out to be.  I guess
one could say, the sky *isn't* falling.
