Divestiture and Destruction of the U.S.
 
The political and wealthy elite in this country have been selling it out from under us since the 1960's - andthey've gotten very, very rich doing it. Is it any wonder then that they would be implementing a police statein anticipation of the time - which is fast approaching - when the declining middle class would figure out thescam?Source: American 2050 Prospectus p.4
"We can hardly expect the nation-state to make itself superfluous, atleast not overnight. Rather what we must aim for is really nothing morethan caretakers of a bankrupt international machine which will have tobe transformed slowly into a new one. The transition will not bedramatic, but a gradual one. People will still cling to nationalsymbols."-- Henry MorgenthauCFR, Secretary of the Treasury under FDRSource: 1945 
 
1974
Fast Track Trade Promotion Authority 
(TPA has been evolutionary. 1974 seems to be the date of the ‘modern’ variation that is basically a licenseto steal because Congress doesn't even bother to read the agreements.Succinctly, fast track TPA gives the president the virtually unlimited power of attorney to negotiate tradeagreements. In simple terms, this is like giving your neighbor the power of attorney over all of your assetswithout a clause saying who gets the proceeds from the sale of your assets. DOH! Theoretically, after thepresident negotiates the agreements, the Congress reads them and then votes - but we know they don’t readanything - they just vote. After all, it’s not their businesses and property that’s being sold.
“Background:
Fast track is the traditional trade negotiating authority granted by Congress that allows thePresident to negotiate international trade agreements. Under fast track procedures, the President submits thelegislation to Congress for approval or rejection. No amendments are allowed. Congress has ninetylegislative days to approve or reject. While congressional and private sector leaders are consultedthroughout the negotiations, the final agreement presented as a package assures our trading partners that anysolutions they strike with U.S. trade negotiators will not be renegotiated by Congress.”Extracts from the above articles:U.S. Constitution gives exclusive authority to the Congress to regulate commerce and trade.The Executive Branch has exclusive authority for relations with foreign nations.

Prior to 1934, Congress retained tight control over every detail on international agreements -delegating to the President only the authority to sign agreements with foreign sovereignssetting tariff and quota rates approved by congress.
•
 
1934 Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act delegated to the Executive Branch multi-yearauthority to set tariff and quota levels within a specified range without requiring furtherapproval from Congress. This authority was called ‘tariff proclamation authority’. It was thebasis for the next five rounds of negotiations for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade(GATT).
•
 
1960’s Kennedy Round of GATT. The Executive Branch had not gotten additional authorityfrom Congress to commit the U.S. to terms beyond changes to tariff and quota levels but theydid so anyway. The change pertained to domestic laws that designated how goods were to beclassified in tariff categories. This caused a turf battle between Congress & the ExecutiveBranch.
•
 
1974 - Nixon proposed that Congress grant the Executive Branch a proclamation authority tosimply declare changes in U.S. federals law agreed to in international commercialnegotiations without requiring congressional approval. This was unconstitutional and
 
fortunately - unacceptable to congress.
•
 
1979 - Tokyo Round of GATT was pending - Congress agreed to delegate half of therequested power through a mechanism called Fast Track. Under this new delegationmechanism, the Executive Branch could negotiate terms that would require changes indomestic law. The Executive Branch would write the amendments to change U.S. law toconform to the negotiated agreement and the Congress would vote up or down with noamendments.
•
 
The first couple of times this authority was used, they were careful not to abuse it.
•
 
1988 - U.S. - Canada Free Trade Agreement trade talks moved into new areas. This tradeagreement included changes to domestic law in agriculture, banking, investment, foodinspection and other policies.
•
 
1993 NAFTA and 1994 GATT Uruguay exploded the boundaries of what was included intrade pacts. NAFTA, GATT-WTO rewrote huge swaths of U.S. law. Reshaping domesticlaws on service industries and investments.
1987Black Monday - Stock Market Crash
“OWEN ULLMANN: Not quite with a Fed Chairman, but if you go back to 1987, the stock market crashthen, it was triggered by comments that then Treasury Secretary James Baker made about the value of thedollar versus the mark. And a lot of people thought that that statement--““In the stock market, the top fifteen sellers on October 19 accounted for 20 percent of the total sales, or $25billion. Index arbitrage involved about $1.7 billion worth of stock. In the futures market, the concentrationof trading among big players was even more significant. Portfolio insurers sold $4 billion worth of stock index futures contracts, which was about 40 percent of the public volume.The top ten sellers accounted for50 percent of the volume.“Following the 1987 stock market crash, President Reagan called on Mr.[Nicholas] Bradyto serve aschairman of the Presidential Task Force on Market Mechanisms. The Brady Commission recommendedreforms that were subsequently adopted.

The United States has been on sale since the late 1950s, not the 1960s.

It's most annoying making a comment only to have it cut short. Why is there no indication as to how many letters are allowed? I'll avoid this thread from now on..

And...... When was the Divestiture and Destruction of the U.S. first "discovered"?! The Norse Men landed on this Continent long before Columbus was born, yet the gullible believe that it was Columbus who discovered America, and let's not overlook the fact that there were people here to greet both the Norse Men and Columbus. I have witnessed the gradual rape of the United States ever since I arrive
