Who's next to get screwed?

by Leon Fisher, Unknown News
leonjfisher@webtv.net      April 9, 2007

Truckers are proud of what they do, and consider themselves
loyal Americans, generally trusting of Government, and frowning on those who dissent. However, I think that this frame of mind is about to change, if plans to implement the North American Union comes into being.

While mention of the North American Union has not yet received much media attention, details of this latest trade treaty between Canada, Mexico, and the US are beginning to leak out. One of the details which is causing considerable consternation to American truckers would allow Mexican truckers to ship all goods coming into the United States.

Mexican trucks and their drivers, though not held to the high safety standards to which their American counterparts are held, will be given access to the US highway system regardless. Nor will the Mexican truckers have to pay road use taxes as American truckers are required to do.

The idea of unsafe Mexican trucks bringing in goods made in Mexico and other foreign countries on roads paid for and maintained by the US taxpayer -- while American truckers are shut out -- is intolerable. While
Pledge allegience to



the North American Union?
American truckers plan to protest, this latest move by the scoundrels in Washington should come as no surprise, being just a continuation of the selling out of America and the betrayal of the American people.

Because of the coming North American Union, which will make lower-paid labor readily available, the higher-paid American trucker will no longer be needed.

This is the modus operandi of "Free Trade," which has devastated industry after industry in America since its inception. First it was the steel industry, then it was textiles, then it was manufacturing, then the auto industry, then the high-tech sector, and now the housing bust. The North American Union is just another manifestation of "Free Trade," politically correct jargon for corporate fascism, with the ultimate goal of putting an end to the United States as a sovereign nation, instead leaving the U.S. an entity whose importance would be little more than that of a glorified trading post in a global economy controlled by multi national corporations.

American truckers will not be the only victims of what is the latest collaboration of Corporate America and their lackeys in Congress, but those Americans who will be forced from their homes and property to make way for the superhighway which will cut a swath thru middle America from Mexico to the Canadian border.

This theft of private property in America was made possible by a ruling several years ago in favor of Eminent Domain, made into the law of the land by the black-robed criminals of the Supreme Court, no doubt in anticipation of the implementation of the North American Union.

Of course, no mention was made of the North American Union at the time of the ruling, but the North American Union has been in the works for quite some time and will be put into effect despite what the American people think. Any protest by the truckers will elicit sympathy from the public, but the North American Union will go ahead regardless.

What has happened to other sectors of the American workforce will next befall the hapless truckers. Without real representation in Washington, the trucking industry will go the same route as manufacturing, etc.
