Is the US as We Know It Over?

There has been a quiet, non-publicized move to form a North American Free Trade Union(a.k.a., NAFTA) that appears to be a threat to American sovereignty. Some people are concerned about this, but others display the usual lethargy and apathy about these developments.

It looks like any other issue. There are at least 2 sides to this. Of course, this is a threat to American sovereignty if a intergovernmental authority or unelected group of people have power over American, Mexican or Canadian government authority. There is a danger of tyranny whenever groups of people that make decisions over others have no accountability. The old saying is that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." When people have absolute authority over others, they often look out for their own interests, and are prone to use others for their own profit and convenience.

This could be also seen to be a transitional period when the authority of local government and elected officials is being slowly transferred to higher levels, such as to regional, and international levels. In the short term, this represents a threat to the American way of life, and also to American interests. But from a higher perspective, this is how the economies of the world can be equalized so that wages, resources and training can be more uniform. It will be a painful process, but it may lead to a better world down the line.

These events are merely occurrences. What they mean is subject to individual interpretation. I am not sure if world government would be a good thing. It sounds great, but so did other concepts like capitalism, communism, socialism and nationalism. But all of these concepts have been a justification for exploitation, extermination and oppression of millions of people in the world. I fear that a group of world leaders would be able to set up a system of world oppression and control that could not be stopped.

With all that said, I am presenting some videos that may give some more information about these topics.
