If Alex Jones is to be beleived, and I very much agree with a lot of what he says, then the US is playing the bad guy by design. It is their goal to be hated by the world, and then the UN/EU can play good cop and come and sort things out.
The freedoms granted by the US constitution do more for an individuals freedom than any other document in history, even the Magna Carta. I personally think that the US is a barrier to the New World Order and so must like the Phoenix die and be reborn into the image that the NWO would prefer. The US economy drives the world economy, mess with the economy of the US and the world will follow and is following as we speak with regards to the "sub prime mortgage crisis".
To make way for a global dictatorship then the bastions of freedom ie US constituion/Magna Carta will have to go.
The rights granted in these documents are slowly being taken away from us, in secret without votes at times.
The people of europe refused the new "European Constitution" so they just renamed it and took away our vote on it, then passed it anyway.
Know this...when the economy does take its dive all throughout this year its not by accident, its by design.
Hungry people are the easiest to control. Lenin taught the world that trick, then people like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Mugabe get to do whatever they like. The way that farming and manufacturing has been killed in the UK I can only forsee that happening here. We have been forced into being reliant on supplies from outside and are no longer self dependent. When a country is not self dependant it is easy to get it into line. As for the US I dont know the manufacturing/farming situation there but Im sure its a different ballgame there.
