They say we won't have a common currency. What situation do you believe will arise that will bring about calls for one? I love my country (US) and would never give up my rights. However, in my mind I cannot help but think that it would be selfish of me to deny the NAU (if indeed it comes packaged as they say it would be). If it helps, what?, 30+ million Canadians and 150+ million Mexicans achieve a better life, then why not? We should be helping them, and any other country, to achieve a level of success that the US has enjoyed for so long. We're all human when it comes down to it. Also, I can't seem to "read between the lines". I don't know exactly what it is you're expecting us to find. I, for one, would like you to pick the myth vs fact sheet apart (if you have the time). I'm new to all this, so please bear with me.
Myth: The SPP was an agreement signed by Presidents Bush and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts in Waco, TX, on March 23, 2005.
Fact: The SPP is a dialogue to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries. The SPP is not an agreement nor is it a treaty. In fact, no agreement was ever signed.

treason
n. the crime of betraying one's country, defined in Article III, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Treason requires overt acts and includes the giving of government security secrets to other countries, even if friendly, when the information could harm American security. Treason can include revealing to an antagonistic country secrets such as the design of a bomber being built by a private company for the Defense Department. Treason may include "espionage" (spying for a foreign power or doing damage to the operation of the government and its agencies, particularly those involved in security) but is separate and worse than "sedition," which involves a conspiracy to upset the operation of the government.

A CONSTITUTION FOR THE NEWSTATES OF AMERICA, from the book, THE EMERGING CONSTITUTION by Rexford G. Tugwell, published 1974 (Harper & Row: $20.00) illustrates with chilling clarity the final objective of regional governance conspirators. The goal is a corporate state concentrating economic, political and social powers in the hands of a ruling elite. "A Constitution for the Newstates of America", is the fortieth version of this revolutionary document prepared by a team of social experimenters at the CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, Fund for the Republic (Ford Foundation), Post Office Box 4068, Santa Barbara, California 93103.
The Center, its first objective accomplished, has appointed socialist-oriented University of Denver Chancellor Maurice B. Mitchell as its new head and may merge with the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies, a Colorado-based world government policy promotion agency.
Aspen Institute Chairman is Robert O. Anderson, chief executive officer, Atlantic Richfield Company; member, Committee for Economic Development (laid ground work for regional government), and advisory board member, Institute for International Education. Anderson is the principal figure in campaign aimed at seizing control of the National Rifle Association.

If a NAU was to be formed,the constitution gives the government the right to admitt new states with the consent of the states concerned as well as congress.

LoL. I will do my own research then. Just wanted someone who already knows the subject to shed some light on it for me (instead of telling me to do my own research). Please do not take my questions to your answers personally. It doesn't mean I think you're full of it, it just means I need further explanation, sorry. I'll read up on the links you provided (thank you, by the way) and will get back to you. I'm not here to argue, just want to learn more about this topic.

Ok I've read up on the links you provided me. As far as this New States Constitution, I am very skeptical. I did a Google search on it and found only 1 link to anything refering to it (the very first link). The website, home.iae.nl... doesn't seem credible to me. It doesn't look very professional and could have been put together by anyone. Check the main page of the site home.claranet.nl... They talk of cosmic laws and celestial news. Sounds too much like a cult for my taste. Your link, www.sweetliberty.org/issues/concon/newstates.htm, didn't jump out at me as anything to be concerned about. Only thing that seemed might anger people was the right to bear arms being taken away. I, for one, applaud that. Too many innocent people are being killed and/or robbed because of irresponsible and devious people using guns.

As far as the South Asia Union, it is a proposed idea. A proposed idea by a civilian... not a person with influence who could make this happen.
www.sulekha.com... this link will take you to a site that the original author, of the link you provided me with, is a registered member of.
Here's a quote: "This is the first step towards establishment of new world order under Indian initiatives to promote economic, political and social justice in the world and formation powerful of Alliance of Asian Armies to enforce peace justice and security in the world specially Asia in true sense."
If anything, it sounds as if this guy is some extremist of some kind. He wants India to promote this whole alliance so that armies of Asia could unite and ENFORCE peace? I don't know about that one. It doesn't seem legitamite enough for me to believe it. Saulat Kamran, the man who wrote this proposed idea, has posted the same message to many blogs and news sites in Asia.

Yes, I know you know that the South Asian Union is proposed (ty for the rolling eyes). I was more interested in who proposed it. Some fanatical guy in Bangladesh ranting about preventing Asian enslavement and ENFORCING peace. I am not lending any credibility to someone who promotes violence such as he suggested.

About the whole celestial voyages... did you take a look at the website? There's alot more wierd things there besides UFO's. They talk about them being aliens and being able to morph into humans. They also talk about harvesting souls.
Excuse me?! If that isn't a cult then I don't know what is. It's not so much that I am skeptical of the New States Constitution as I am the website. If it is affiliated with a website that claims the Earth will perish and all physical bodies will be transported to Terra (The New Earth) then it's credibility drops in my book.

Of course taking arms away from the citizens (law abiding or not) will not wipe out shootings or theft. People would just substitute firearms for knives or bats, lol. It would decline, I am almost sure of that. Just like anything you make illegal, there will be a underground market for them. I am talking about these kids that get a firearm from daddy's closet and go on a shooting spree because some kids made fun of his/her acne or weight problem, the wanna-be thug who steals a gun from a home to committ a robbery and/or murder, the jealous (ex) husband who takes his revenge out on his wife and lover and countless accidents that happen in homes where young children die from accidental shootings. I could go further into this subject, but this thread is about SPP not gun control. If you'd like to point out to me (because I am oblivious :@@ what more there is to this New States Constitution that I missed, I'd be more than happy to read it.

Spoken like a true American. The whole "I don't care what happens to any other country, as long as it doesn't affect mine" is absolutely the wrong attitude to have. NAU will NEVER happen... I repeat NEVER happen.

Wow.... Again, did you even look at the website?
Show me one thread (in ATS) having someone hawking this BS and people actually buying into it. Just because I don't believe in paranormal studies doesn't mean I should revoke my membership here and leave.

Look, the day I hear about Canada, Mexico and the US forming a union, adopting a common currency and stripping our rights, then I'll believe you. Until then this is all just people getting into hysterics over nothing. Over countries trying to help each other out. Seriously, do you think there's a sinister motive behind everything the government does?
Originally posted by SBDAL
So you have no problem Canada benefiting, just not Mexico? What if your rights stayed right where they are as well as your freedoms and liberties? Would you still not want Mexico to join? Sure, the past 200+ years the US has built themselves quite a nation. If anything, Mexico has more right than Canada to join because of the land taken by the US from Mexico... but, that's another thread. Plus, Mexico has good amounts of natural gas and other natural resources that the US could benefit from.
