Don't Dismiss Conspiracy Theorists - Debate Them!

I rarely see any honest debate among those who would so lazily dismiss folks as "conspiracy theorists" rather than use their brains and consider the FACTS provided.

For example:

"Signed agreements such as NAFTA and the S.P.P. (Security and Prosperity Agreement), the Canada -U.S. Smart Border Declaration, the Competitiveness Council and the Binational Military Planning Group are real policies and agreements, not conspiracies.

The SPP was signed by Prime Minister Martin, President Bush and President Fox in March 2005. It was reaffirmed in April of 2006 by Prime Minister Harper. The S.P.P sanctioned the recommendations of the North American Task force released in May of 2005.

John Manley, a former Liberal Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, now heads the Canada, USA, Mexico Task Force which released its recommendations for a North American continent wide union on May 17/18, 2005. Manley was quoted in All Patriot News in the USA, May 17, 2005. He said, "We are asking the leaders of the United States, Mexico, and Canada to be the architects of a new community of North America, not mere custodians of the status quo."

The North American Task Force is comprised of prominent former officials, businessmen, and academics from the three countries; in particular, they are from the U.S.'s Council on Foreign Relations, Canada's Canadian Council of Chief Executives, and Mexico's Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales. These are real people with real names, such as Thomas Axworthy, Merrill Lynch and Co., Inc.,Thomas P. d'Aquino, Professor Wendy K. Dobson, Dr. Robert Pastor (described as the Father of the North American Union by The Free Republic.com), Allan Gotleib, Pierre Marc Johnson, Heenan Blaikie, McCarthy Tetrault, Donner Canada Foundation (to name a few).

The Canada-U.S. Smart Border Declaration was signed December 12, 2001 by Liberal Deputy Prime Minister John Manley and Tom Ridge, USA Homeland Security Director. This declaration is a 30 point action plan from which flows the new passport rules, the current voluntary (soon to be mandatory) retinal, fingerprint, and RFID requirements for fast cross border movement, the no fly lists, i.e., listing of people who are not allowed to board any airplane within or out of Canada, USA, or Mexico, the arming of Canadian border guards.

From the S.P.P. flows a 30 member Competitiveness Council comprised of North America's most influential CEO's. Prime Minister Harper sanctioned the 10 person Canadian group whose job is to "advise" him. These unelected, unaccountable, unrepresentative live real people are part of the structure that supercedes our governments and is already driving the economic and social policies of three countries beyond the reach of our Members of Parliament."
