Ron Paul's worked up about U.S. sovereignty.
Comment: I am impressed that this thread is still getting comments. Confronting the propaganda machine is always important.
Comment: I guess research is dead.

Comment: For you Gretel it must not be clear, for those of us who are paying attention and have visited spp.gov and read extensively about the "security and prosperity partnership" plan pushed by the Bush Administration, it is all too real. It is much more than a "conspiracy theory", the term you use to try to discredit a candidate that truly cares about the future of the United States because he has brought to light a plan that will in effect and in practice through incrementalist tactics result in the destruction of the freedoms you have come to know and love. Our sovereignty is at stake, this is no joke and is not something to take lightly. Ignorance is bliss, you ought to do some research on your own, and it seems that you have done a little bit Gretel, Rick Perry did not endorse Rudy Giuliani because of his "conservative" history. The coming North American Union is real and when Americans find out their will be riots, I fear the day that Americans are forced to take off the blinders because the anger that will be unleashed will be unstoppable, even by the fascist state government Mr. Bush
has envisioned since his time in our Capitol here in Austin. The time is coming, whether it will be in our lifetime only time will tell, will the "Great Experiment" fail or will Americans be free and prosperous forever, free from the chains of bondage we now wear unknowingly.
Comment: Those of us old enough to remember the loss of US sovereignty with the Panama Canal fiasco in the 1970s can relate to the arguments below and Dr. Paul's passionate attempt to reclaim sovereignty in Latin America. I think the world would do better to see the US reclaim its sovereignty not over the Panama Canal, but also the Philippines, Okinawa and other places. Then we would not need to fear the UN, Nafta and the rest of the world government. Let's support Dr. Paul and the movement for US sovereignty!
Comment: We should be worked up about US sovereignty. Now there are a lot of groups, in Hawaii, and Texas, and the Dakotas, who want to have their own sovereignty. We lost Panama, we could lose other places as well. That is why Dr. Paul supports US sovereignty.
Comment: Yes, shame on you Ms. Kovach. You didn't even mention that NAFTA would not be necessary if the US had retained sovereignty over its territory of the Panama Canal. Dr. Paul sponsored H.CON.RES.231 and supported other legislation to maintain US sovereignty in Latin America. If these had been given credibility at the time, you wouldn't have even needed to write your article.
Comment: Last night i watched a recent hollywood film called, ATONEMENT, about a little girl who cried wolf and implicated the wrong man, and then dealt with her personal guilt all through her life. When i heard about this latest smear campaign against Ron Paul, i instantly imagined that what i had viewed was a biography of the life of Ms. Kovach. That is a very poorly researched and disgraceful piece of writing you've produced, Ms. Kovach. May you live with it always.
Comment: explain this Ms. Kovach, and explain why you don't know how to Google.

Comment: Ms. Kovach is journalistically retarded... I wonder if Newsweek will now print a correction article with the REAL information in it. Or are they just gonna let crap journalism represent them? Newsweek's article itself is the "urban legend."
Comment: Let's remember Gretel C. Kovach and Newsweeks so will never believe anything she writes in the future or anything Newsweek prints.
Comment: Let's remember Greta's name and who she works for. Then we will know never again to believe anything she writes or anything Newsweek publishes.

Comment:
This article is without a doubt the most blatant example of disinformation I have ever witnessed!! Any journalistic credibility Newsweek had previously with me and my entire family, is now and forever gone and I have perused Newsweek for five decades now!! I will not buy another issue of your magazine again and I will encourage anyone I know to do the same.
Perhaps Gretel C. Kovach should interview a few Mexican government officials - starting with the current President of Mexico and find out the facts! Ron Paul told the facts correctly.
Any decent American who values their national sovereignty should cancel their subscriptions to your magazine post haste and hence forth leave your copy laying to mold on the news stand.

Comment: The editorial writer for the Washington Post remind me of a bunch of Ostriches with their heads in the sand.
Their Bosses ( puppeteer )at the Council on Foreign Relations are extremely happy with the lies they are spreading ! Reminds me of the confessions of David Rockefeller, in his autobiography, where he stated He is proud of his behind the scenes conspiratorial workings for a New World Order for over 40 years.
his praise for the way the media covered up those facts.
Comment: OK, then explain this: Why did my Indiana attorney -- now a federal judge -- tell me a few years ago that my farmland value might benefit if a planned Mexico-to-Canada superhighway was built nearby? This was long before Corsi's book. Is the article writer here saying my federal judge friend lied?
Comment: Fear mongering and creating paranoia for political advantage is the work Neocon's and not Dr. Pauls. I don't blame Kovach for this inaccurate report, a premedidated attempt to further marginalize Dr. Paul's popularity. Of course, Kovach is just another poor journalist following the direction from people of power, who don't want Dr. Paul to win or is that also just another conspiracy?

Comment: It must be nice to be able to slander a man and then later (like after the primaries when it doesn't matter any more) print a retraction of an obviously politically motivated falsehood. I pride myself on my independent and open minded nature but I must say that, even though I won't be voting for Paul, this is way over the top and should have never made it past the first draft.
Comment: Here I thought NEWSWEEK was above attack journalism, but apparently I was being naive. If I had written a so poorly researched and blatantly slanted piece of so-called ???journalism??? in college, I never would have passed News Writing 101. At the very least, Gretel Kovach should be disciplined for such faulty and visibly biased "reporting". Although I???m sure you are getting some much-desired reader response, I doubt such negative feedback is what you truly want. At worst, you are likely to lose my subscription if such shoddy practices continue; and I expect ??? and demand - to see a retraction or clarification in the issues to come.

Comment: Can.t believe that full research wasn't done. Instaed the facts and truth are kept from the public a person has to wonder ~~WHY~~. As mentioned below, research is real easy all you have to do is google it...HELLO!!
Comment: Private lands are to be taken by eminent domain? The government has the power to act through eminant domain to take property that is needed for puplic use. This is understood. Now, what I do not understand is this. How does a private firm's putting up funds so a highway can be built, and this consortium charging tolls to the people of the USA by which they intend to earn a profit fit in with the governments powers of eminant domain? Is it the US government or a private party that has the power of eminant domain? Does anyone else see a condradiction here? It sounds like private property rights are being sold out to a private company. We do need to stand against these types of abuse of the private rights of our people. We nned a change is the way the government is run. A good first step would be placing a man such as Ron Paul in the top office.

Comment: The worst part of this so called journalism is how easy it to find out the real information on the internet. By the way RP will ensure the internet remains open and neutral so we the citizens can continue to check the facts and find real information. In age where citizens have so much information at their hands you would think old media like Newsweek would strive to get the facts correct. They will start losing readership if they continue this type of reporting
Comment: Newsweek doesn't get it. It is not a conspiracy...it is talked about in the open. Maybe the real conspiracy is the lack of news coverage it gets. I mean who really cares if Brittney Spears sister is pregnant. The question is who would support an idea such as a North American Union vs who would not support an idea such as a North American Union. If you want a President who will work against the North American Union and NAFTA Superhighway vote for Ron Paul. If Newsweek supports the NAFTA Superhighway then why not debate the pros of such a boulevard.

Comment: Ron Paul, last hope for America. Yellow journalism or this authoritarian regime call the US Government will suppress us no longer.
Comment: Oh come now. Is this "hit Piece" on the Paul campaign really necessary? It's too bad that Newsweek and other purported ???Investigative reporters??? are busy reporting on what Britney and the other idiots in the limelight are doing as opposed to doing your journalistic duty and reporting on the facts in a bipartisan manner. Here???s a little advise, Go to the Council on Foreign Relations Website ( I???ll save you the time http://www.cfr.org/) In the box marked "Search" put in ???North American Union" and click on the third link which will take you to this site: http://www.cfr.org/publication/8138/building_a_north_american_community.html
Finally, are ready for this... READ.. There is an entire dossier on their ???proposed??? plan.
then watch CNN report on it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTShloR6u6A
There you have it. Actual Research completed. Try to make sure you put your filters on and then report on those little things called facts. You???ll be enlighten and the ???truth will set you free.???
Comment: I guess the author doesn't get to texas much. I'd love to show him a few youtude vids of the day Texans from all over the state came to Austin in protest of perry's plan to open our borders even more. Security.thats laughable. The first security check point for Mexican trucks in Kansas City.. Over 1,000 miles from the Mexican Borders. Thats not securities. I'm sick of these NEOCONS and open borders. They had 7 years to do something. Ron Paul baby........(Don't taze me bro for posting this)
Comment: Total disinformation - There is such a plan - just google nafta highway and see for yourself. It is planned to be 10 lanes wide and will be based on I-35.
I used to think Ron Paul was a fringe candidate - the media keeps trying to say so - but listen to what he says for yourself - ignore the talking heads and support him.
Comment: Ron Paul 2008!
www.ronpaul2008.com
Over 15 million raised and climbing.
Comment: This article is designed to be disinformation for the American people. Fox has openly discussed the Amero and a boarder less country. In addition Fox has openly discussed RFID tagging of humans and promoted the idea under the pretense that we can all should trade liberty for security and if don't were not Americans.
The only conspiracy here is Washington post's version of the story. The NAU is not a conspiracy it is fact, the planned Amero is fact and if you don't think American leaders are capable of putting it together behind closed doors then you are only forgetting how powerful you are yourself and what you could do with some money and a few Friends in high places.
If you think Ron Paul or his supporters are all to be dismissed as conspirators, wrong again. Their is far to many of us, within the last 24 hours Ron Paul has raised over 6 million leaving him at a total of 15.5 Million Dollars donated from private citizens. Rather the news media likes it or not this is a REVOLUTION and its happening now !
Remember "We The People" must refresh the tree of liberty from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, its the natural manure. Dont be scared it will be over quick !

Comment: For all of you who want to believe the crap in this article....just take one second to check the actual facts. Former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox, acknowledges *without question* of the agenda when he was on CNN's Larry King Live. He mentions the NAU, the single currency and his negotiations with our former presidents to make it happen. Google it and see for yourself. It's not a conspriacy people and not believing it will NOT prevent it from happening so just check it out! Then vote Ron Paul.
Comment: For all of you who want to believe the crap in this article....take one second to check out the facts. You can hear proof of NAU and the "super highway" from Mexico's former president, Vicente Fox. He did an interview with Larry King and flat out stated his agenda for a single currency, the NAU, etc. as well as negotiations with our former president to make these things happen. Google it....it's out there....it's everywhere. It's not a conspiracy people - just WAKE UP and LISTEN! Then vote Ron Paul.

We sent out another 50,000 emails yesterday telling people to cancel their NewsWeak subscriptions and pass that message on to their contacts.
On another note is there somebody that can explain to us why YouTube keeps on permanently disabling our accounts? We emailed them when our first account was cancelled but never received a reply. We opened up another account about a week ago and they canceled that one yesterday.
Here are the 2 things that we did with our second account that may have gotten it canceled.
1. We told, not knowing they were, a Homeland Security employee that Homeland Security was NOT needed and a waste of funds. That kind of really ticked them off. lol
2. We posted that Dr. Paul WON 50% of the the GOP Caucus votes and 63% of the OPEN votes. We posted it on Huckabee's, Guiliani's, Romney's, Obama's and Clinton's YouTube Channels. lol
ONLY Huckabee's and Romney's channels would allow the postings. The others had to be "Approved" first. Shows you they do NOT like competition or wish to Debate.
So could any of you explain to me why my account may have been permanently disabled this time around and if you know how I may contact YouTube to find out what happened? We really would like to keep our Freedom4AmericaGroup username in YouTube.
If you do not wish to reply here then just send us an email to Freedom4America@LibertyIsWealth.com with "YouTube" on the subject line.

"How Ron Paul Won The Election."
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/12445
Once upon a time in America there was a man named Ron Paul. He was a learned man, a medical doctor, who was well versed in economics, law and foreign policy. He had a high regard for the constitution. In his view, it was not some sentimental, historical document composed by eighteen century dandies in powdered wigs. It was a contract between the people and the government, written by men who understood the dangers of tyranny. It was in his view a timeless document designed to protect the people from the excesses of government in any age.
And so it was up to his followers to raise additional money to continue the campaign. The message of liberty and limited government took Ron Paul to victory. Despite the odds, he defeated all opponents, both Republican and Democratic.
Do you think this story cannot come true? Is it so far fetched that we shouldn't bother to strive for it?
IT ALREADY HAS HAPPENED!
This is the story of how Ron Paul was first elected to Congress. Since then, He has been in the congress for twenty years and his stance has never changed.
He can do this AGAIN, and the time has never been more critical. Just as before, he needs the support of the people. If you share this vision, then you must register as a Republican and vote in the primaries for your state. Many traditional Republicans will vote in the election, BUT NOT IN THE PRIMARIES. This is our opportunity to take the primaries by storm. If 100% of Ron Paul supporters vote in the primaries, we can, once again, ambush the Republican establishment and propel Ron Paul to the nomination. We must do this; the future of our country is at stake.
PS If you agree with this message, pass it on to everyone on your list
Comment: This is why I don't bother to read Newsweek (unless on a reference link). Half truths or outright lies appear to be their policy. Newsweek tries to hide the truth about the highway by portraying Ron Paul as an alarmist. The real alarm is the disceptive media.

Following that, Katalina said:
???I for one am not interested in being considered HUMAN CAPITAL, and will never think of myself as a NORTH AMERICAN.???
Well if I???m right in thinking that this ???Union??? is to eventually encompass all of the Americas (North, Central and South America included), as I surmised in my previous post, where I talked about the U.S. Dollar being the common currency of choice there ??? then my guess is that you would probably not need to be concerned with thinking of yourself as ???North American??? as such. You would probably be able to continue to simply call yourself ???American??? (as you probably do now anyway) and would not have to prefix it with in which part of ???The Americas??? you reside (i.e. North, Central or South).
The catch there is that EVERYONE else in ???The Americas??? would also have to start thinking of them selves as ???American??? too, instead of, for example: Canadian, Mexican, Nicaraguan, Costa Rican, Venezuelan, Chilean, etc. ??? I think you get the idea.
As far as being considered HUMAN CAPITAL is concerned:
This reminds me of when Corporate American stopped calling employees ???personnel??? and started calling us ???human resources,??? which equated in the end to treating people as if they are equipment rather than living, feeling human beings who have families to feed. This of course is what immediately predated the ???Corporate Downsizing??? scourge, which of course went hand-in-hand with ???Outsourcing??? manufacturing and services, as well as technical jobs, such as computer programming, to Third World countries where the Multibillion-dollar U.S. Corporations could get cheap labor at a fraction of what they would have had to pay ???Human Resources??? to do the same jobs in the United States.
We the People are nothing but pawns in this sick game, and ???The Bottom Line??? (i.e. profits), which is yet another catch phrase that Corporate America started using, is how much money can be made by the few who own the most (i.e. the Corporate Elitists at the top of the money chain), which can be evidenced by the ???Corporate Downsizing,??? ???Corporate Mergers??? and ???Outsourcing.???
First we were changed from being ???Personnel??? ??? a word that gets is origin from the fact that we are people, to being ???Human Resources,??? which reduced us to being considered as nothing more than pieces of equipment.
Now, apparently, we can all look forward to being classified as ???Human Capital??? next?
That???s something else to look forward to then, isn???t it?
Many ex-Patriots are sending in absentee ballots to vote for Ron Paul from down here in Central America too ??? myself included. Someone has to stop this expansionism.

Comment: The North American Union will not stop with North America. With the passage of CAFTA the (Central American Free Trade Agreement), the ???Vision??? is for this Union to encompass all of the Americas, North and South America included.
Central America is part of the continent of South America.
As far as the common currency to be used is concerned: A new currency, as Corsi suggests, such as the ???amero??? would not be necessary. I imagine the common currency for all of the Americas will end up being the ???U.S. Dollar,??? if/when such a Union were to become a reality.
Examples of this:
In Panama, the currency is supposedly the Panamanian Balboa. In reality, if you were to go to Panama, you would find that they are NOT using Panamanian Balboas as their currency there ??? they are currently ONLY using U.S. dollars in Panama. The Panamanian Balboa has all but ceased to exist within the boarders of the country of Panama.
In Costa Rica, the currency is the Costa Rican Colon, but the U.S. dollar is already being used as a second form of currency. People can open personal bank accounts, in any Costa Rican bank, for either CR colones accounts or U.S. dollar accounts or both. Tourists and Costa Ricans alike can pay for goods and services just about anywhere in Costa Rica with either Costa Rican colones or U.S. dollars.
The dollar is already being used as a second currency throughout many of the Latin American countries. There are of course exceptions to this rule. Venezuela is good examples of a country that is striving for autonomy from this trend.
The following is an excerpt from The Tico Times (Costa Rica???s English Language Weekly Newspaper) article entitled ???U.S., China Drive Export Boom??? (Jan. 19, 2007).
>>>
Venezuela has been making it harder for importers to have access to U.S. dollars in the South American country, complicating transactions with Costa Rican businesses, the weekly El Financiero reported.
Costa Rica???s Foreign Trade Ministry (COMEX) plans to file a complaint with the World Trade Organization, Ruiz said.
>>>
The World Trade Organization has had a history of circumventing the authority of the governments of ???supposedly??? sovereign nations, in areas related to International trade. I wonder what types of punishments will be inflicted upon Venezuela for not complying with the idea of using the U.S. dollar as a regional currency when transacting business with other South American countries (i.e. Costa Rica).
This is evidence that the Regional Currency of choice, when ???The Union??? has been formed, will be none other than the U.S. Dollar!
This isn???t only about North America; this is about all of the Americas -
North, Central and South America included!
Comment: Wow, is this writer an idiot, or just ignorant?
"Only it's not true...
[Oh wait,] It's since been scaled back slightly... A considerable swath of Texas land, perhaps as much as a half-million acres, will be taken by eminent domain. ...construction could begin in 2009... Critics, even those who don't see a conspiracy, say the state is mortgaging its infrastructure to foreign investors." Sounds like it's true by your own statements of fact. So I'd like to know...
Is the writer an idiot, or does he just like to "stir things up" like he says "Corsi is only too happy to [do]"? Is this the kind of stupidity I'm paying for in my Newsweek? Give me a break Gretel... follow the trail of breadcrumbs, go find your head, and pull it out of your [ ]. And then start writing REAL news worth reading.

Comment: There is no Nation on Earth powerful enough to accomplish our over throw. Our Destruction, should it come, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concern's of their own Government. From their carelessness and neglegance. I must confess I do aprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicite a confidence in their public servants. And fail properly to scrutenize their conduct that in
this way they may be made the dupes of designing men and become the instruments of their own undoing.
Quotes by Daniel Webster
Comment: Gretel,
The question I propose to you is this. Do you feel it is normal for our government t t to have transparency? And if that answer is yes. Then why has NAFTA been pushed through without our representatives debating the benefits to America? You madam are out of line for the misrepresentation of Ron Paul and his supporters stances on this issue.
God Bless America.
Comment: Wow! Gretel, it looks like you were bought by one group and "owned" by another... LOL!
Comment: Yes, I guess Ron Paul is a nut case. Just as nutty as Washington, Jefferson and Madison. You know, those kooks who thought they could create this wonderful society through individual liberty and limited government. Where did they ever get a crazy idea like that? Just because that crazy idea worked is no reason to bring it back now. Well, here's another crazy idea: Ron Paul is the LAST hope for America. I believe it's God's way of saying, "I'll give you one last chance to save your country." If we blow this opportunity, I don't think we'll get another one. I don't think we deserve it. I sometimes wonder if we deserve this one.
Comment: Gretel, Gretel, Gretel, Oh come now. Is this "hit Piece" on the Paul campaign really necessary? It's too bad that Newsweek and other purported ???Investigative reporters??? are busy reporting on what Britney and the other idiots in the limelight are doing as opposed to doing your journalistic duty and reporting on the facts in a bipartisan manner. Here???s a little advise, Go to the Council on Foreign Relations Website ( I???ll save you the time http://www.cfr.org/) In the box marked "Search" put in ???North American Union" and click on the third link which will take you to this site: http://www.cfr.org/publication/8138/building_a_north_american_community.html
Finally, are ready for this... READ.. There is an entire dossier on their ???proposed??? plan. There you have it. Actual Research completed. Try to make sure you put your filters on and then report on those little things called facts. You???ll be enlighten and the ???truth will set you free.???
Good luck to you and all your future endeavors.
Comment: I love an article that purports conspiracy and then spell out all aspects of the conspiracy as fact. This is that strange type of idiot's double talk that I think George Bush invented. I wonder if she had a hard time researching for the article living in Egypt.
Comment: What's totally amazing to me is reading the ???Myth verses Fact??? on the SPP website, which is a total bold face list of lies. Newsweek, SPP -- you give little credit to the intelligence of the American people. The folks who wrote this article should be professionally embarrassed. Publishing articles like this just makes the dark side of these entities even more known, and enforces the truth even more ??? the North American Union is REAL, and publishing a rebuttal instead of ignoring the indifference just makes it all the more real (you???d think they???d be smarter than that?) I'm not sure how the staff can live with themselves for being a part of an organization that publishes such BS.
Comment: It's extremely disappointing that Newsweek chose to publish this article without a thorough review of the facts. I too gave up my Newsweek subscription years ago and this hatchet job on Ron Paul is confirmation nothing has changed. As a nation, we'd better wake up to the very real threats to our sovereignty from within our borders (and big media disinformation from sources like Newsweek is high on the list !).

Comment: Besides the CNN clip on Youtube, the NAU and Amero was discussed on a Canadian financial news show. Youtube. Search Canada Amero NAU CNBC. One clip is about the "Illuminati". The other is a sober news segment with a nationally-known financial investor, Steve Previs of Jeffries.
Comment: Having offered a clear confirmation about the NAU, I must say I am *NOT* a Ron Paul supporter. Why? Look up Mont Pelerin Institute, his heroes. Look up Friedrich Hayek and Pinochet, another R.P. hero. Hayek believed the Pinochet bloody coup/dictatorship was a GOOD thing, because it led to "free markets", i.e. Chile's middle class was looted by corporate investors and the IMF, while blood of dissidents ran though the streets outside the stadium.
That's freedom? Ironically, it was Hayek's associate in Chile, Milton Friedman, who said that the only way a pure free market can exist is in a police state, to quell the inevitable riots.
For that matter, ck out an eye-opening article called William Volker - What an A**hole. Fill in the missing letters, Vanna. It's quite a read. I'm not a fan of the Frying Pan *OR* the Fire.
Comment: Wow! Newsweek really stuck its head in the hornets' nest on this one! While I'm a Kucinich supporter, I recognize that Ron Paul is the only other candidate offering genuine change from either side. If Kucinich is not the Democrat's nominee, I will probably vote for Paul if he's the Republican nominee.
Comment: Wow! Newsweek really stuck their heads in the hornet's nest on this one. I consider myself an Independent who leans left on most issues. I support Dennis Kucinich because he is one of only two candidates who offers genuine change. The other is Ron Paul, and if Kucinich is not the Democrat's candidate, I'll be voting for Paul if he is the Republican candidate. This story is just one example where the media has stopped reporting the news and is, instead, forcing its own agenda regardless of the truth.
Comment: How can you say that this is a mith and made up when CNN has reported it several times there are videos of them reporting it now you say it's not true in an effort to discredit the one man who is honest and not a warmonger that in my opinion is very unbalanced reporting not to mention you obviously dont keep up with the news want proof go to this link as seen on tv : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTShloR6u6A
Comment: funny...you say it does not exist....yet you have reported on it several times there are videos on google of you reporting on it so how can you now say its not true if YOU yourself reported it
Comment: You should do your homework He is correct.
Comment: As a staunch IND voter I'm not into the whole Ron Paul thing, but even as just an average Calif dude who reads news on the net... even I can tell this article is silly at best.. theres plenty of factual information out there to blow huge holes in this article. Apparently nobody at Newsweek watches Larry King or knows of the magic of youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYGrn0hZlCQ
Comment: Oh, yeah I almost forgot. I'll never, ever buy a copy of Newsweek again. Newsweek has been added to my boycott list along with Faux News and CNN. Congrats Newsweek, you beat out Fox for the slimiest NeoCon rag ever. You suck.
Comment: My friends, what you have just read, and I'm not afraid to say this...what you have just read is pure bull ***. This is NeoCon smear tactics at it worst. First of all, everything Ron Paul said at the debate is verifiable and true...just search google. Don't be swayed by this mindless drivel. The authors are NeoCon whores.
Comment: Just one step closer to the frenzy of gun seizures and confiscation...
A Police State...Martial Law...as usual,MSM is doing their part
http://www.blacklistednews.com/view.asp?ID=4964
Ron Paul is the last honest man in position for the White House.
I'd prefer to die on my feet than serving the neo-cons on my knees.

Comment: I've been a secondary school administrator and teacher for 15 years and got sick of the brainwashing and
lies in the textbooks. I'm now a member of the AFL-CIO TCU with Union Pacific Railroad for the last 19 years
and have been following Dr. Ron Pauls career. Every Monday he records a two minute talk 888-322-1414
that anyone can listen to for free. To paraphrase a founding father: Give me Ron Paul , or give me DEATH!
The only reason I even looked at this Newsweek artical was because they mentioned Ron Paul. It merely
confirmed my previous observation that Newsweek is part of the problem and does not merit even a casual
reading--a TOTAL waste of my time!!

Of course, they hate Ron Paul ??? he is going to expose their agenda.

NewsWeak, you really should have taken our Group more seriously and contacted us. But since you did NOT contact us we have received many emails asking us to follow through with our PROMISE and NOT wait the time we gave you.
We have decided to start our campaign against NewsWeak and just sent out our first 45,000 emails to our contacts.
A rag mag should have known better to take on Network Marketers since it is our LIFE to build people under us and we do NOT put up with the BS that the MSM is trying to shove down our throats. Your CFR Buddies will NOT be able to help you. Once we get the word out to the Millions of Network Marketers we are afraid NewsWeak will be no more. If anybody posting on this site has stock in NewsWEak our suggestion to you is to SELL it before it crashes.

Comment: Attention Newsweek. You have lost your credibility as a reliable and intelligent news organization. Thus, you have also lost my respect. I have already canceled my subscription to your biased and agenda based magazine. I hope you are happy.
Comment: I put in five minutes of online research to answer my own question. Newsweek magazine is owned by The Washington Post Company. Wikepedia says Donald Graham is Chairman and CEO of The Washington Post Company. Check out this link: http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/post_challenged.html Graham regularly attends Bilderberg meetings on an oath of secrecy. I had a feeling this would be the case.
Comment: Who owns Newsweek? Does anyone know? The answer is most likely significant. I hope someone out there researches who owns Newsweek and who they are connected to - or who Gretel Kovach is personally connected to. This blatantly false article shows they are trying to manipulate the masses into believing a lie. Why would they do this? Why did George W. Bush meet secretely with the leaders of Mexico and Canada to create the SPP? Why wasn't that headline news? All people need to do is investigate themselves. You people making comments here are INTELLIGENT and EDUCATED. I feel sorry for all the people who don't know because they are blindly trusting the government and the other Presidential candidates, most of whom will be going along with the plan!! Kovach's article is actually VERY POSITIVE because this may be the beginning of a way to begin AWARENESS in America regarding this issue. I want to see Jerome Corsi interviewed about this Newsweek attack on headline news stations and I also want to see Ron Paul on headline news speaking about this ridiculous article (!!) when there is actually PLENTY OF PROOF - if people just open their eyes. Maybe Lou Dobbs, who knows about the Nafta Superhighway and the planned North American Union - maybe Lou will have the guts to allow Ron Paul on to speak about this. I encourage you all to write or call Lou Dobbs at CNN to ask him. We all must fight to educate people. Why isn't Lou Dobbs coming out in support of Ron Paul, by the way? He needs to.
Comment: Every day this country takes one step closer (e.g., phony "news") to becoming the communist Russia that we fought so hard to destroy - how ironic.
Comment: David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission in June 1991, addressed
a meeting of that organization. "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New
York Times, Time Magazine," Rockefeller told them, "and other great publications
whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of
discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to
develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of
publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and
prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of
an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination [read as 'democracy'] practiced in past centuries."
Is Newspeak garnering for David's praise and approval as well? Too bad Gretel
wasn't at the west mall in Omaha last week -- Perhaps she could have saved some
diginity by not having to place her name as the author of this rag piece.
Wasted ink and paper -- At least she didn't waste any energy actually thinking
or researching for this hit piece.
Comment: Your lack of knowledge or research is painfully obvious and won't stand testament in the light. Are you really that misinformed or were you paid off to write this piece? You clearly are NOT an independent journalist! You're obviously misusing your position as a weapon of mass deception! Your masters refer to people like you as worthless eaters -- Perhaps you are! The writing's on the wall, even if you refuse to acknowledge it.

Comment: Why did Vicente Fox state in interviews, including Larry King, that he and Prez Bush specifically discussed the integration of Canada, Mexico, and the US? Why are meetings held in secret if there's nothing to hide? Why is it ok that a foreign corporation is going to OWN land taken via emminent domain from private citizens and then charge citizens tolls to travel on "their" roads? This is the very definition of FASCISM! WAKE UP!!!
Comment: Newsweek, please pull your head out of the clouds and do some 'investigative reporting' for a change.
Woodward and Bernstein showed you how to get it right.
Did you forget how to do it in J-school? Did you lose you integrity at the same time? Or only you judgment?
Is 'ethics in media" an oxymoron? e.g. military intelligence?

Comment: Newsweek- stop lying! There is plenty of evidence out there. You magazine is on a disinformation campaign to protect whatever interests who are or were backing this. It's shameful. My wife has already agreed to cancel her subscription. This just ads to our confirmation that Newsweek is just more spin by the mainstream media. Shameful!!!

Comment: Thank you Dr. Corsi for illuminating Newsweek's deceit:
Why would the Canadian government web page in Alberta show a NAFTA Superhighway if the highway doesn't exist?" asks a Newsweek reader linking to the Alberta site. "Keep on lying to the people, Newsweek, it is what you do best

Comment: Newsweek has proven to be a weak indeed. Obviously a hatchet peice for the powers that be.
Comment: As Newsweek well knows, the evidence indicates that the Bush administration is lying to us about the events of September 11th, 2001. That is, very simply and very clearly, what the evidence shows. David Ray Griffin has written a number of books on this subject, and his most recent, ???Debunking 9/11 Debunking???, irrefutably lays out this case. Griffin scorches anyone in live debate on this topic with the strength of sound logic and documented fact, easily exposing sophmoric efforts like those at Popular Mechanics and elsewhere as not having done even basic level homework on the subject. He credits Nafeez Ahmed???s ???The War on Freedom??? and Paul Thompson???s 9/11 Timeline as being two of the strongest research tools available. Both publications are painstakingly detailed and provide mainstream news outlets for corroboration of facts.
Several documentaries also exist which effectively illustrate the issues raised in Griffin???s book. Among the strongest are 9/11: Press For Truth, 9/11 Mysteries and Loose Change: The Final Cut. The suspicions raised and the conclusions drawn in these works are supported by credible Americans from all walks of life, including scientists, architects, engineers, fighter pilots, members of the Reagan and Bush I administrations and former high ranking military and intelligence personnel. Many of these people are profiled at http://www.patriotsquestion911.com. With all of this information available as to George W. Bush???s mendacity regarding September 11th, 2001, and the events of the next 6 years, it is little wonder why Ron Paul and others are concerned that the federal government doesn't have the best interests of its citizens in mind. Anyone believing the 9/11 Commission report is anything but a whitewash has obviously not read Griffin's book nor listened to these others, whose numbers include the father of the Star Wars program, Bob Bowman, and the father or Reaganomics, Paul Craig Roberts. Why the silence regarding all of these lies? Is it patriotic to defend traitors?

Comment: I don't understand how such shoddy journalism can get printed in such a prominent news media outlet as NewsWeek. I feel like I'm reading a newspaper in the U.S.S.R. when I read such shocking propaganda and lies. My questions are "Is the author just blatantly lying? Is she an extremely poor journalist? Or is this just part of the anti-Ron Paul campaign?". What a seriously pathetic article. THIS article IS a conspiracy, and those that believe it are the naive ones. Isn't there a libel law? I think Gretel and Newsweek should be more careful with what they choose to write and publish. Shocking!!
Comment: I'm rather shocked that this went to press without an iota of research. A little time spent with Google brings up a good number of sources:
