Senate passes CAFTA; House passes UNOCAL resolution

By Darren Weeks

The U.S. Senate, in a 54 to 45 vote, passed the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).

The agreement is intended to be a lifeline for the impoverished central American countries, designed to help lift them out of poverty, in accordance with chapter 3 of Agenda 21, the United Nations blueprint for sustainable development.

The measure now moves over to the House of Representatives, where a vote is expected in July.

Now is the time to bombard your representatives directly at 1-202-224-3121 (capitol switchboard), and indirectly by urging your state lawmaker to take your case to the Washington lawmakers and represent you there.

Meanwhile, in the House, the other creepy CONgress critters passed a look-good resolution subjecting a Chinese oil company's bid to take over UNOCAL to presidential review.

Despite the threat that a CNOOC takeover of UNOCAL would be to the United States, The 398 to 15 vote simply asserts that "if UNOCAL Corporation enters into an agreement of acquisition, merger, or takeover of UNOCAL Corporation by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, the President should initiate immediately a thorough review of the proposed acquisition, merger, or takeover."

As the president urges for an expansion of trade agreements that have already devastated Americans, eliminated jobs, and undermined our national sovereignty, the U.S. House of Representatives is saying with their meaningless resolution that they trust Bush's judgment on the takeover.

It has never been clearer that we have no friends in Washington.

The executive, legislative, and judicial branches all work for the destruction of our national sovereignty, elimination of our individual liberty, and the annihilation of the U.S. Constitution which was intended to guarantee both sovereignty and liberty.

As Woodrow Wilson stated, after traitorously placing his pen to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913,
"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world — no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
Wilson knew well the subject of which he spoke. He was the president who signed control of America over to the Federal Reserve, an extension of the International Monetary Fund, which is an arm of the United Nations.

America is bankrupt. According to federal law, the U.S. Treasury secretary is receives his salary from the IMF. If he draws his salary from the IMF, then for whom does he work?
