Saturday Morning Confusion. #5

Winners and losers, assholes and idiots. Looking back on the past week is enough to make your head spin. Are we confused?...... You bet we are!

Might as well jump in with both feet kids, here are the damned and the darned.

We start off with our loser of the week. A man is recovering in a Vancouver-area hospital after an attempt to film a mock hanging as a stunt, accidentally became the real thing, police said on Thursday.

The 23-year-old man thought he had protected himself by wearing a harness when he went to a suburban park on Wednesday to have a friend record him dangling lifelessly from a tree, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

"Unfortunately things did not go as planned and the male was unintentionally hung from the rope he had placed around his neck," according to a police spokesman who said the friend initially did not realize anything was wrong.

Neither man was trained as a stunt actor, according to the police statement that added: "The 'Don't Try This at Home!' disclaimers on commercials and movies are there for a reason."

Now for a trophy that comes as no surprise. Our "Asshole of the Week" award once again goes to George W Bush.

Georgie is running out of time in the White House and in a last ditch effort to give himself some sort of legacy he is once again starting the "Middle-East Peace Process!"

The first reason he gets this award is raised by the question, why did he wait till he was eight years into his Presidency to do this, and the second question is; Why is he so stupid as to think that it will work this time?

Clinton had a faint chance at a settlement a decade ago but conditions today are such that any attempt to reconcile these two sides is 100% sure to meet with disaster.

Bush gets the trophy because this whole thing is for no other reason than his public image! He knows this, but is going ahead anyway.

He might be stupid, but he sure has balls. (That phrase would make a great legacy for him!)

And finally, I just have to comment on a rumour that has been going around since 2005.

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union:

What is the plan? Simple, erase the borders. The plan is contained in a "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" little noticed when President Bush and President Fox created it in March 2005:

In March 2005, the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States adopted a Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), establishing ministerial-level working groups to address key security and economic issues facing North America and setting a short deadline for reporting progress back to their governments.

President Bush described the significance of the SPP as putting forward a common commitment "to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security." The policy framework articulated by the three leaders is a significant commitment that will benefit from broad discussion and advice.

The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized.

To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity.

We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary."

Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.

The North American Union plan, which Vincente Fox has every reason to presume President Bush is still following, calls for the only border to be around the North American Union -- not between any of these countries.

Or, as the CFR report stated: The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America.

A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be joint screening of travelers from third countries at their first point of entry into North America and the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.

To all this I would like to add a few personal observations!

First of all, the plan does have a certain appeal and make perfect sense in the long run. Although the rumors going around now are just a bunch of baloney, in the long term we can see this happening.

In Canada, for example, the U.S. is not going to look at our water and the oil reserves in the Alberta Tar Sands, and come to us "hat in hand" for a crust of bread.

No sir folks, the more probable outcome is a union with the States to save us the humiliation of having the Americans just come in here and take what they want.

A harsh reality? Yes! But hardly an outcome that is beyond possibility.

I would rather say it is entirely probable.

Can Mexico then be far behind? Remember kids, the whole world is splitting into giant power groups and we can look forward to "Super States" much the same as in George Orwell's book "1984."

Except the timing will be more like 2084.

I can see a time when we have;

1. North America (Including Australia and New Zealand)
2. South America
3. Europe (Including Russia)
4. Africa
5. Asia
6. Oceania

In the meantime remember that old saying; "That George Bush, you got to hand it to the guy, he might have been stupid, but BOY, did he have balls!"
