The links, you brainless fart, are of mainstream media broadcasts. But this is how you think:
IGTG = psycho bullshit
youtube = illegitimate
Dumbass.
Who the frick cares about Bob Chapman? The issue of this thread isn't Bob, it's the plan addressed by his article. Are you REALLY that effing stupid, or are you so tied to your agenda it just makes you seem so? this is grade school-level logic, and you can't handle it?
For chrissake, man! You've got problems.

If you wish to prove me wrong that should be easy. Simply post the information (REPUTABLE SOURCES, NOT YOUTUBE) that I asked for on Bob Chapman. That is all I want to know about.
Two questions which should be simple (as you claim you have proof) to answer.
That's all. |

I CARE about Bob Chapman. The whole thread has been about the INTEGRITY of his article. Anyone can write an article claiming that Canada, the U.S and Mexico are planning to unite. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE! THERE IS NO SENSE IN DISCUSSING THE ARTICLE IF BOB CHAPMAN DREAMED THIS WHOLE THING UP.
Anyway I'm done with this thread. By refusing to reply you've answered my questions. The article is nonsense. |

I presume that this is the Bob Chapman in question:
http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/bio.php
Mr. Chapman is 68 years old. He was born in Boston, MA and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, a year in Canada and a year in the Bahamas.
Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.
From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.
Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.
Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week... |

Indeed. I have little time for IGTG sources, which tend to be wild eyed raving conspiracy and ufo sites. It's like saying "UFOs are true because this government UFO scientist Bob Lazar says so!" Okay, why should we believe Bob Lazar?
People have been talking about such a union for decades. It simply can't happen without the legislatures of three nations getting involved. Consider the chore Bush had getting NAFTA passed. One reactionary article does not a massive conspiracy make. |

There will be a common labour market established. It only makes sense. But there will still be three separate nations, with three sovereign governments. But there will be both Capital and labour mobility throughout the region.
This would be a great way to deal with the various labour shortages/surpluses that exist in North America. Really, it is stupid, that Canadians need a working visa to work in America and vice/versa.
They will not become one country. Nobody would agree to that. |

I agree with IGTG. |
Don't worry, as usual these rag-tag "nay" - sayers & childish name callers have their heads stuck somewhere that makes it hard to see the light. |

What a dumbass. Youtube is a LOCATION, not a source. The people and sources from which they get the info are the sources. In this case, since you can't be bothered to watch, which is beyond pathetic, one is MSNBC.
Unfreakingbelievable someone so stupid is even bothered with. Done with you. |

Based on the information I provided, there is no reason to doubt the qualifications of the author of the article. Northeastern grads are not known to be crackpots, and he has impressive credentials in international finance, He's also multi-lingual and, interestingly, served three years in U.S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe...
Furthermore, his International Forecaster "compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week..."
Thus, the source is certainly credible, with regard to not just making up a story out of the thin air. But that, of course doesn't guarantee the accuracy of his analysis of facts that he may have received through confidential sources. Political, social, economic (etc.) forecasts relied on by investers are generally speculative by nature. |

What you seem to be missing, which I am sure is directly attrributed to the fact you haven't checked any of the sources, is that they are doing exactly what you say they can't. If this is of no concern to you, or you support it, then so be it. But if you have any reservations about this plan, I strongly suggest you do click a link or two.
Land is already being claimed in Texas for the first leg of the highway. Perhaps has already been taken. Also, apparently a hub in the KC area is already underway.
So... if it CAN'T happen (neither can warrantless wiretaps, extraordinary rendition, torture of prisoners, suspension of habeus corpus... right?), then why is it? |

NEWSFLASH!
There's a whole lot more info. ( i.e BUZZ ) on the net ( e.g. ) than simply this one author's article;
as that's what the obfuscators are so intent on trying to call into question. |

Candians never talk about their own open plan to take American territory and make it their own...I wonder why?

| [T]he act annexed to Quebec the area east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio River. |
War of 1812! Monroe Doctrine! Indeed...!
Oh, yeah. Relax. This is tongue-in-cheek. Because this entire issue is absurd. |

Absurd in that you refuse to believe the facts before you, or absurd that anyone would be upset about it, or absurd that the secret is getting out?
