- It sure is a good thing the North American Union is just
a silly conspiracy theory. Thank goodness President Bush put our minds
to rest on that whole fallacy. If there really was a new system of regional
government in the USA, then Americans would be like the Romanians, decades
behind in a few significant areas:
-
- "Over a decade since European Convention ratification,
Romanian Law School graduates do not have elementary knowledge about the
law system offered by CEDO and CEJ, and, only a few months before the
adhesion, the communitarian law curricula is rarely present within law
faculties programs of study, although the lack of adequate education of
our legal experts in the field of European protection of human rights
determined already great loss to the Romanian Government, at least 50 millions
EURO. Because of these major deficiencies, the lack of personnel in
the Justice Department can not be covered, despite the great number of
Law graduates." (1)
-
- We have millions of people in this country who devote
their lives to researching, teaching, studying (and protecting) the original
American political and economic system. Many of our citizens appear to
be very well educated in the historical and legal foundations for our republic.
Our people still study U.S. Constitutional Law because that's the law of
our land. If the old system had been replaced with a new system, then Americans
would have to be told about it, wouldn't they?
-
- If it were true that the U.S. is integrating with Mexico
and Candada under the supremacy of global communitarian law, we'd have
attorneys like Marcos Mercado Delgadillo:
-
- "MARCOS MERCADO DELGADILLO, Post-graduate degree

Masters in Industrial and Intellectual Property and Information Society
Law, Alicante Spain; Masters in Economic Law, Universidad Andina

the Drafting Commission for intellectual Property Law Project, La Paz.OTHER
ACTIVITIES: Professor of Intellectual Property Law. PRACTICE AREAS:
Intellectual Property, E-commerce, Integration and Andean Communitarian
Law, Corporate Law. (2)
-
- If it were true that the USA is reorganizing itself under
a global communitarian system of justice, we'd hear about it from our free
press. We have thousands of news businesses whose job it is to bring us
the news that matters. Something so huge (and so illegal) would never have
slid past all those smart CNN reporters. If Amitai Etzioni and the Communitarian
Network really held a summit in 2004, the U.S. freepress would have covered
this historical event. Americans would have been introduced to their groundbreaking
moral themes:
-
- If Wolf V. Heydebrand from New York University really
led a session at the 2004 Communitarian Summit on "Economic Globalization
and the Logic of Process in American and European Law" this would
have been reported by somebody, someplace in the United States.
-
- If Heino Heinrich Nau from the University of Frankurt
am Main presented a paper called "European Predecessors of Communitarian
Economics" and Norton Garfinkle from The George Washington University
Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies presented information about
"Communitarian Economics: Maintaining Economic Growth and the Values
of Civic Society," the American voting populace would have been told
a little something about their emerging economic system, wouldn't they?
-
- America enjoys freedom of the press. If Amitai Etzioni
really said on his blog on January 17, 2008, "If the current lineup
holds, the Democrats will be represented in the forthcoming national elections
by a communitarian" and then boasted that ".. communitarians
should not uncork the champagne quite yet, but they can safely put a bottle
or two into the fridge," that kind of news would have not only been
in a David Brooks New York Times editorial, it would have made headlines
in every newspaper in the country.
-
- Come on. Rep. Nancy Pelosi never introduced a bill adopting
UN Local Agenda 21 in the United States that was passed by the House the
102d CONGRESS, 2d Session, called H. CON. RES. 353, a
-
- "CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense
of the Congress that the United States should assume a strong leadership
role in implementing the decisions made at the Earth Summit by developing
a national strategy to implement Agenda 21 and other Earth Summit agreements
through domestic policy and foreign policy, by cooperating with all
countries to identify and initiate further agreements to protect the global
environment, and by supporting and participating in a high-level United
Nations Sustainable Development Commission. (3)
-
- No authority ever printed the words: "Over 160 countries
are now Parties to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (the
Convention) which was ratified by the United States in 1992. " ( Survey
of International Agreements.) Only an idiot would believe "Congress
also closely followed the progress of U.N. negotiations for achieving a
framework convention on global climate and sent a parliamentary delegation
to the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, in June. The Senate consented
to ratification of the Convention [Treaty Doc. 102-381; the instrument
of ratification was signed by the President on Oct. 13, 1992." (4)
-
- The 109th CONGRESS, 2d Session did not see the introduction
of H. RES. 873, designed for " Recognizing the continued importance
of the transatlantic partnership between the United States and the European
Union by expressing support for the success of the forthcoming US-EU Summit
in Vienna, Austria, on June 21, 2006."
-
- We don't need to learn anything about communitarianism,
do we? No, we don't. Don't listen to me. I haven't spent any time studying
this subject. I made communitarianism seem important when it's actually
so minor it doesn't even need to be mentioned by name. The editors at Wikpedia
are right. Communitarian Law* doesn't exist anywhere except in my imagination.
If anything, it's only communism, and duh, we already know what that is.
As a leading American speaker against the NAU recently explained in an
email:
-
- "I simply have not had the time to introduce
communitarianism or community law which, to my way of thinking, is a concept
that underlies the NAU but is MANIFEST in many ways which I DO cover
extensively in my writings without specifically naming it... As for using
Niki's communitarianism term explicitly . . . I informed Niki quite a while
ago that I would write about it in my planned Communism article. A
massive piece of research I have tried valiantly to write for nearly a
year and a half." (5)
-
- We have additional proof of the non-importance of studying
communitarianism. There are millions of American bloggers and thousands
of American websites who never mention it at all, ever. These are dedicated
people who dillegently work to expose aspects of our history and current
events that are ignored in the mainstream news. With so many people claiming
to be seeking and exposing the "truth," communiatarian regional
governance would all have been exposed long before now.
-
- No researcher or political party ever said the American
people were too stupid to understand it. No patriotic Americans have claimed
they don't include the UN/EU/NAU legal term when they're writing about
the new laws for the American masses. Besides, even if it was true and
they did want to tell Americans all about it, they know they can't. Everyone
knows Americans are incapable of learning anything beyond common, ordinary
issues. The real world is too upsetting for them, it sends Americans running
in terror. Why would upper educated anti-NAU researchers waste their reputations
on such obvious tin-foil hat material?
-
- "Even though I am a Ph.D., and could write for
the scholarly, I don't! Why? Because I know the masses are just plain
everyday folks who haven't a CLUE what is happening all around them.
So I use common ordinary language, everyday ordinary issues, real-world
material about what is happening out there. That way they can see and
relate to it, and understand what I am referring to when covering the
SPP-NAU. I do that PURPOSEFULLY so that people will not run screaming
into the night in total terror, or call me a tin-foil hat, who is a
purveyor of conspiracy theories." (5)
-
- Many American websites and blogs are well researched
and include detailed scientific theories about what really happened on
9/11, HAARP technology, ChemTrails, AIDS and cancer. Other highly educated
Americans delve deep into difficult studies of empires, wars, philosophy,
religions, freemasonry, Sumeria, Atlantis and aliens. Our terrified stupid
people somehow manage to study and publish complex, jargon filled articles
on sports, technology, economics and financial matters. But they could
never understand communitarianism, so why bother?
-
- Don't worry America. The European Union and other Communitarians
never published volumes of papers regarding global and regional communitarian
integration requirements.
-
- "International law is about the creation of
rules of the road for interaction between nations in order to promote peace
and common interests." (6)
-
- Amitai Etzioni is impossible to locate, either online,
in person or at the local library. Etzioni's books can never be found on
most American government officials' (and their NGO partner's) bookshelves.
Amitai Etzioni is a conspiracy theory. Etzioni's Communitarian Network
does not exist. The Communtarian Platform was never signed by hundreds
of academics and politicians across America. UN and EU Communitarian Law
is not the blueprint for all supra-national regional communities, especially
not in the NAU (which doesn't exist anyway).
-
- "Amitai Etzioni has provided a vision for developing
a future global civil society. If his communitarian approach has any hope,
its starting place will be modern Europe. The continent's bloody rivalries
of the past are history. By creating a larger community, Europe has achieved
what Etzioni seeks on a global scale. How has Europe done it? Can Europe's
success be a model for other parts of the world, just as its development
of the modern nation-state became the model for political life in previous
centuries? And will Europe itself be likely to survive as a thriving
community, or will it fail in the end to sustain its own model? This article
explores the basis for Europe's remarkable developments of the past 60
years and the possibilities that Europe can lead the way forward for
the achievement of Etzioni's vision." (7)
-
- The American founders never had their own vision. The
colonists never rebelled against the British Imperial Free Trade policies.
The original American system never worked. Alexander Hamilton was a tool
for the global elite. The national bank, coining our own money and high
tariffs were bad ideas. Friedrich List didn't help the German unions kick
the British out, he was ridiculed for his theory and killed himself he
was so embarrassed. So, please, don't pay any attention to an article called
The Lies Behind 'Free Trade', Chalmers Johnson's review of Ha-Joon Chang's
"Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of
Capitalism" (Bloomsbury Press, 2007).
-
- "The title of his 2002 book comes from the German
political economist Friedrich List, who in 1841 criticized Britain for
preaching free trade to other countries while having achieved its own
economic supremacy through high tariffs and extensive subsidies. He accused
the British of "kicking away the ladder" that they had climbed
to reach the world's top economic position.
-
- "Turning to the United States, Chang focuses on
Alexander Hamilton, the first American secretary of the treasury and the
man who coined the term "infant industry". Although he did
not live to see it, by 1820 Hamilton's forty percent tariff on manufactured
imports into the United States was an established fact. Hamilton provided
the blueprint for US economic policy until the end of the Second World
War. The 19th and early 20th century US tariffs of forty to fifty percent
were then the highest of any country in the world. Throughout this
same period, it was also the world's fastest growing economy." (8)
-
- We can rest assured. Just in case the NAU and communitarian
regional justice is real, at least one partner in the Strategic Partnership
is training their citizens to enforce NAU law.
-
- "On November 16, 17 and 18 the Communitarian
Police celebrated their 12th anniversary in Zitlaltepec, municipality of
Metlatónoc (the mountain area in Guerrero). The System of Communitarian
Security and Justice extends across an area which includes 53 communities
in the Coastal and Mountain area and operates from three headquarters.
-
- ".. since its foundation the System of Communitarian
Security and Justice has been persecuted, undermined and criminalized by
the Guerrero government. Almost 20 arrest warrants have been issued
against the leaders of the Regional Coordinator of Communitarian Authorities
(CRAC) and against the founders of the Communitarian Police, and investigations
have been launched against several communitarian policemen." At the
12th anniversary of the Communitarian Police, they demand unconditional
respect for the Communitarian Justice system (en 12 aniversario de
la Policía Comunitaria, piden respecto irrestricto a sistema de
Justicia Comunitaria)" (9)
-
- It sure is fortunate that nobody is teaching upper level
coursework in NAFTA communitarian integration policy. It just can't be
true that The Graduate Institute of International Development Studies in
Geneva is offering a summer seminar in "Global and Regional Integration,
Week 3, 30 June - 4 July 2008... can it?
-
-
- "Overview: This thematic module focuses on the dynamics
of trade and financial integration at a global and regional level.
-
- On the subject of trade, the module will highlight the
role and influence of the World Trade Organization and of selected regional
institutions (European Union, NAFTA, Mercosur, APEC). The course
will highlight the status and main features of the Doha Round of trade
negotiations as well as the current proliferation of preferential trade
agreements. It will explore North-South relations through the prism of
development, with a discussion on the importance of the UN Commission for
Trade and Development as well as UNCTAD.
-
- On financial matters, the module will evaluate the need
for international management of monetary and capital flows, with a focus
on the current role of institutions such as the International Monetary
Fund, the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
and UN ECOSOC." (10)
-
- But what if it is true and U.S. regionalization is underway?
Notice how NAFTA is included in the above quote as a selected regional
institution? Who will be attending this event about things that don't exist?
Nordica, Fred and I love playing school. We would be happy to take a break
from camping and go learn all about global and regional integration if
someone will sponsor us. As long as it's all make believe, rooms in a swanky
Swiss hotel with room service and chocolates and weekend side trips to
the Alps, France, Germany, Austria, and the whole rest of the EU would
be cool too. Be some great pictures for the blog and Nordica could ask
people from every nation what they can tell us about le nouveau systeme
judiciaire.
