    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?

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Ron Paul, last hope for America. Yellow journalism or this authoritarian regime call the US Government will suppress us no longer.

    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.???

    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)

    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.

    Ron Paul 2008!

    www.ronpaul2008.com

    Over 15 million raised and climbing.

  • Posted By: elingmo @ 12/16/2007 5:38:03 PM

    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 !

    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.

    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.
