SOLD! America

When we watch a magician perform, we are often amazed — "How did he do that?" Our eyes are purposefully drawn to the small bait while he does the big magic, sleight of hand and other hidden trickery. This is what is happening in America today. Magicians are performing big events while we citizens' eyes are drawn to divisive, minor issues.

We are being tricked. Where are our eyes looking? Americans are focused on their individual rights to not breathe secondhand smoke, to not hear prayer in public, to not see a cross on a hillside, to not pledge the allegiance to the U.S. Flag. Meanwhile the constitutional bedrock is being eroded before our very eyes. Individuals have fought for the right to shout obscenities and parade naked in streets even though the pavement they dance on may no longer be U.S. owned. Major constitutional rights of American property and liberty are at stake.

We spend our time fretting about the nation's political divisiveness, while the major magic tricks are already taking place.

The Continuing Sell Off of America:


The U.S. Supremes went against the Constitution in the Kelo-Connecticut case where a developer, not a public works commitment, won over citizens' rights to own and keep their property. Sets a new precedent for greedy land-grabbing over citizens' constitutional rights.


The Dubai ports debacle is still ongoing and we could still have foreign companies running our ports. Remember the China company and Long Beach port during the Clinton years? Where's our national security leaders?


Strangled by government restrictions and tax regulations, our manufacturing base and many other corporations have moved, or are planning to move, into third-world countries. Our middle-class job base shrinks while minimum wage jobs grow.


Illegals danced in the streets waving Mexican flags proclaiming their sovereignty of U.S. land. If not now, soon.


We are still watching as Pres. Bush defends his Illegal Guest Worker (amnesty) Program and the Senate backs him up — despite overwhelming resistance from "we the people."

We now know why. In 2005 he committed the U.S. to a three-way pact called the Security and Prosperity Partnership with Mexico's Pres. Fox and Canadian then-Prime Minister Paul Martin. Unbeknownst to we the people.

The three North American magicians have proposed a long-term plan encompassing a six-lane super highway running from the Mex-Tex border and eventually ending in Kansas City. The borders would be wide open with Mexican trucks carrying giant containers North. Kansas City would include a Mexican Customs Office run by Mexico. Where is the Security in this plan?

I have been following the coverage and exposure by World Net Daily of these significant changes planned for we the people. Pres. Bush's supporter, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has proposed Senate Bill 3622 which would establish a "North American Investment Fund." This means we Americans will pay to develop and raise Mexico up to an equal economic level with the U.S. or it could mean the opposite.

Two more omens that America is now up for grabs:


Many states are selling or leasing taxpayer funded toll roads — to foreign investors for as long as 99 years. They would do well to look at what happened to Orange County, CA, when they had to spend double the money to buy back a toll-road lease partially owned by a French company. The original lease prevented Orange County from building more infrastructure.


U.S. Airlines may soon be run by and partially owned by Foreign Companies. U.S. pilots are incensed and fighting for their survival. Congress knows and has issued warnings to Pres. Bush and his Administration. This magic trick has not reached the volcanic stage yet.


Is this good for our nation? Is our sovereignty at stake? Is our Constitution no longer what counts as a governing document? Is the New World Order our future? While we lift others up, will we bring ourselves down? What does this mean for our standard of living? Is Economics seen as the sole reason America exists? Entangled with the economies of Central and South America?

What happened to Self-Reliant, Self-Sufficient America? We can no longer live in secure knowledge that our personal property belongs to us nor that our national land belongs to us; that we will be protected from terrorists on what soil we do own; that America will remain a sovereign nation.

The Big Magic is happening. What can we the people do about it? Are we going to allow America to be sold to the lowest bidders?
