64. Opposing trade agreements is wise. These trade agreements are a cover for the

establishment of a world government run by the corporations. That is quite true. I became very familiar with the text of the NAFTA agreement some years ago. It was a blueprint for setting up international courts that we Americans cannot control and that can overrule our local and even federal laws protecting our environment, our labor rights, everything we hold dear.

In particular these trade agreements overrule our environmental protections.

Remember, under Article III of our Constitution, treaties including these trade agreements have the same force and effect in the law as our Constitution itself. We are governed under the Constitution and our treaties. Other laws must comply and be consistent not just with our Constitution but with our treaties. And these treaties, like NAFTA, set up international courts that can overrule our courts.

World trade sounds wonderful, but it is another word for international corporate dominance of everything we are, have, and value.

I know. Sounds like hyperbole, like exaggeration. It isn't. Nor is it a conspiracy theory. It's the law. Trust me on this. I have seen it in action.
