		<description>IC, to comment on #26, I read on another website that not only America loves the Arabs for their oil, especially in Saudi Arabia but Afghanistan is rich in opium.  Therefore they&#039;re not only profiting from oil but from the drugs as well.  Do you think these military bases are set up for war only?</description>

		<description>Here is the definitive article on what is happening.&#160; This article explains it all and is only the tip of the iceberg.&#160; In other words the vultures are flying over the carcass called America and are ready to&#160;eat us alive even more.&#160; Happy reading!

		<description>Want to talk about manipulation.&#160; We have all heard the wonderful report on how well the Black Friday weekend went.&#160; We heard that sales were up.&#160; Likewise the stock Market zoomed up on the &quot;good&quot; news.&#160; Well, come tofind out sales were only up because of steep discounts to lure shoppers into the store.&#160; The reality is that its not sales that is important but rather profit.&#160; The fact of the matter is stores have been relying on little to no margin.&#160; I mean really, who wants to sell lots of stuff at 0 profit.&#160; Be prepared for the real eye opener when January and February comes around and the stores have to discount all thier goods BELOW a profit after a season with little to no profit.&#160; The signs are all pointing to a major recession in 2008.&#160; My suggestion would be to try and get out of debt as much as possible.&#160; However, in the interum expect the Fed to try to keep the lie going as long as they can before the next presidential election.&#160; After that all bets are off.

The Christmas season lie.

		<description>Here is a link that summarizes what NAFTA is.

Like IC said it does not matter who wins the Presidency in 08.&#160; Both Republicans and Democrats are on the same page when it comes to globalism.&#160; Don&#039;t think for a moment that Democrats are for the little guy.&#160; Also, don&#039;t think that Republicans really want to keep taxes low to spur growth for the middle class.&#160; Initial results from the tax cuts have shown a massive shift of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy.&#160; Back to the Fed Reserve.&#160; By inflating the money supply the Govt. puts a tax on you.&#160; WHAT!&#160; What do you mean Kyle?&#160; Glad you asked.&#160; Let me explain.&#160; As you have noticed Food and energy prices have been skyrocketing in recent years.&#160; These things are commodities.&#160; They are readily consumed and are subjest to major swings in price.&#160; However, the two things that most people use the most are energy and food.&#160; Think about it.&#160; You eat every day and drive your car, heat your home, run electricity.&#160; So with the Fed pumping money into the system and weakening the dollar they have created inflation.&#160; Inflation is the rise in prices.&#160; So lets say for simplicity sake&#160;lets say the sales tax is 5%.&#160; So far so good.&#160; Lets say that the cost of a particular item is $1.00.&#160; Common sense the total amount comes to $1.05&#160;with tax.&#160; Lets say the same good now cost $2.00 5 years later.&#160; At 5% tax the total amount comes to $2.10.&#160; Notice the tax increase?&#160; The Govt. now received .10 cents on your transaction instead of .05 cents all the while lying to your face that taxes have not gone up.&#160; You can expect the Fed to&#160;keep pumping money into the system so the Govt. can pay off their debts with weak dollars which is foisted upon you and I in terms of higher prices and higher taxes.&#160;&#160; You see at least the Dems are honest and tell you to your face they will raise your taxes.&#160; The Republicans just like to do it by borrowing and putting it on the national credit card for you and I to pay later.&#160; Unfortunately later is now and the chickens are coming home to roost.&#160; One last thing.&#160; There is something called the M3.&#160; The M3 is a term used for the entire money in the money supply.&#160; In 2006 the Fed no longer published the M3.&#160; In simpler terms the Fed now refuses to let anybody know how much US dollars are out there.&#160; Why?&#160; Because if they did you would see such a dollar meltdown and massive inflation not seen since the 1970s.&#160; So what they are doing instead is hiding the truth which is now&#160;slowly coming to a head.&#160; Stagflation anyone.&#160;

		<description>Art123, you can &lt;a href=&quot;../../../../2006/07/31/nau_nasco_borders/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;read this for more information&lt;/a&gt;.

NAFTA = North America Free Trade Agreement
CAFTA = Central America Free Trade Agreement

Who pressed till he got his way with these?&#160; BILL CLINTON!!!&#160; And look, now his wife wants to be President.&#160; But it really does not matter who wins.&#160; The sled is pointed downhill and the grease already in place.&#160; As you can see from the link above, Bush is doing his part to put jet rocket boosters on the sled and the next President regardless of who wins will add nitrous oxide to the fuel used in those rocket boosters.</description>

		<description>To add, I used to wonder why there were foreign banks set up in the USA.&#160; Also to note, some of you may have heard about Bank of America hiring illegal aliens this year.&#160; This country gets stranger by the day.</description>

		<description>In response to the video about the amero, in that case you can say that it is all business, nothing personal about this sinking economy. &#160; K. Andrews, can you explain what NAFTA is?&#160; It was mentioned.&#160; To comment on your comment #2, when I was a NYC resident, when you go in the Wall Street area or even Midtown, you would see international banks around, the Asian banks, Europeans, Latin America, and more.&#160; Therefore, I believe this supports what you were saying.</description>

We are slowly destroying our currency on purpose so we can &quot;call&quot; our currency for a new one the Amero.&#160; Here are two clips from highly respected conservatives.&#160; You must realize that what you are seeing is the deliberate destruction of our economy by S.W.F as we discussed, Overprinting of our money, and transnationalism.
