WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 06: U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper speaks during a Bipartisan Policy Center meeting at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel October 6, 2010 in Washington, DC. The Bipartisan Policy Center held a meeting to discuss 'The State of Domestic Intelligence Reform.'

- "oversight" of the secret state's surveillance activities are being handled by the ODNI's Civil Liberties Protection Officer, Alexander Joel, a Bush appointee who was so "concerned" about protecting our privacy that he found no civil liberties violations when he reviewed NSA's illegal warrantless wiretapping programs.

- This is a parody of economic order, in which the general public bears all the risks and the financial sector takes all the rewards – an extraordinarily pure form of what used to be called ‘socialism for the rich’. But ‘socialism for the rich’ was supposed to be a joke. The truth is that it is now genuinely the way the global economy is working.
- In Marx’s judgment surplus value is the entire basis of capitalism: all value in capitalism is the surplus value created by labour

- the amount that German companies want to invest overseas dropped sharply from €100 billion in 2011 to €70 billion in 2012
- German automakers are investing hand-over-fist in China where they expect to make the majority of their worldwide profits in a few years
- In addition, their negotiators were unrepresentative of the party as a whole; more sympathetic to the Tories and readier to let them get their way.
- Gove’s education policies, which could well wreck England’s education system, were justified as giving parents ‘choice’ and returning authority to school principals. They do no such thing. Parents have choice only when they agree with the secretary of state; otherwise they have none. The same is true of headteachers

- What the public craved at that moment was a form of idealism that would allow us to scream a convincing “no” at the whole thing, and the free-market people—spotting the opportunity like any good entrepreneur—immediately stepped in and delivered exactly such an idealism
- It’s coming apart because certain people want it to come apart; because they stand to gain if it comes apart; and yet for them to pull it apart they have to have our consent.

The Canadian
When Stephen Harper and Barack Obama refer to "common security border arrangements" they actually mean 'NO BORDER'.
There would no longer be an international boundary between the United States and Canada, if the United States government through Homeland Security effectively controlled the Canadian border, along with national security arrangements and the oversight of the implementation of domestic laws including those on privacy.
The Harper government is selling-out the complete package of the remainder on Canadian sovereignty, while having the audacity to claim the Agreement they pursue with the American president, "has nothing to do with sovereignty".
The Harper government's claim according as defined by the Canadian Criminal Code, is nothing short of 'treason'.
Wikipedia notes than in Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]."
For Americans, the so-called North American Union would amount to the replacement of the American Constitution with a continent-wide neo-fascist state presided by the elites who act as the puppeteers of the Obama regime.
It is apparent that both Stephen Harper and Barack Obama are students of the technique which Leo Strauss called the "Big Lie". Leo Strauss was ironically a Jew, who was inspired by the "Big Lie". Accordingly, tell a lie that is so big, that no one would believe you could ever be lying.
