Bush Does Canada
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GLu92ea7ss
More war. Less democracy.
Guess who's coming to Canada?
http://www.stopspp.ca/
U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderón, and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper meet in Montebello, Quebec in August 2007 to advance a "Security and Prosperity Partnership" (SPP) or 'NAFTA with guns' -- a North American pact that will increase economic and military harmonization between all three countries.
The talks are closed to the public. Yet, the North American Competitiveness Council made up of 30 CEOs from large corporations (10 from Canada) will have exclusive influence on these "free-trade plus security" agreements that will further de-regulate trade, give up Canada's control of its water, gas and oil, and more deeply integrate security and the military with the U.S. All of this will be done through agreements that by-pass the elected government and exclude civil society.

Excerpt:
The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) was formed on April 18, 2002, from the merger of the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) which itself was formed on August 14, 1967, the Southwest Regional Transmission Association (SWRTA), and Western Regional Transmission Association (WRTA). WECC is one of nine regional electric reliability councils under North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) authority. NERC and the regional reliability councils were formed following the Northeast Blackout of 1965. WECC's general offices are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, with branch offices based in Vancouver, Washington and Loveland, Colorado.
The WECC region encompassess the entire Western Interconnection, which comprises the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, portions of Montana, South Dakota, New Mexico and Texas in the United States, the Provinces of British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, and a portion of CFE's system in Baja California in Mexico. The Western Interconnection is tied to the Eastern Interconnection through six high-voltage direct current transmission facilities, and also has ties to non-NERC systems in Northwestern Canada and the rest of the CFE system in Northwestern Mexico.

TREASON 101: Arizona State University Promotes the Destruction of the United States of America
In May of 2005, a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) task force released "Building a North American Community", a blueprint for merging the United States, Mexico and Canada into one country called "North America". The plan, which is being implemented via the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement signed last year between the leaders of the three countries, will destroy the sovereignty of the USA. The United States will cease to exist as an independent nation. The United States Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, will be extinct. Implementation of such a plan is, therefore, by definition, an act of TREASON. No other word fits the crime.
Critical to the execution of this high crime is the careful application of propaganda. To that end, the academic community within the United States is being enlisted to sell the idea that destroying America is a good idea. On page 29 of "Building a North American Community" is a recommendation to "Develop a network of centers for North American studies. We recommend that the three governments open a competition and provide grants to universities in each of the three countries to promote courses, education, and research on North America."
Arizona State University is one of the first academic Judas to volunteer to sell out American sovereignty. Traitors at ASU have put up a website, intended to be an instructional tool to assist and encourage professors to teach the concept of "North America" to their unwitting student body. The site, appropriately titled "Building North America", was created in cooperation with the North American Center for Transborder Studies at ASU, which must, therefore, be the actual nest of the traitors residing at ASU.

Excerpt:
On July 1, 1997, Enron Corporation bought PGE for $2 billion in stock and $1.1 billion in assumed debt. [7] Then in 1999, and again in 2001, Enron attempted to sell PGE to other investor-owned utilities including Portland based NW Natural. The corporate officers of PGE have claimed that this utility was not involved in the financial misdealings of its owner, pointing to the fact that many of its employees suffered when Enron froze the 401(k) retirement plan and were unable to sell the rapidly declining stock. However, Ken Harrison and Joseph Hirko, PGE's CEO and CFO respectively at the time of the Enron merger were charged on several felony level counts primarily related to financial misrepresentation regarding Enron Broadband Services which had its headquarters within the World Trade Center complex that comprises PGE's corporate offices. In addition Tim Belden, head of the West Coast Trading Desk and John Forney, an energy trader who invented various electricity trading strategies such as the Death Star, operated from the trading floor in the PGE corporate offices and were also convicted of financial crimes related to the California Electricity Crisis.[8]

Excerpt:
As of May 2002, all but one investor-owned utility in California, Oregon, and Washington had filed complaints against Enron and the other energy trading firms. The lone exception is PGE, as doing so would mean filing a complaint against itself. Enron owns all 42,758,877 shares of PGE stock as of June 2003.

In November 2004, Hirko along with six other EBS employees – Kenneth Rice, Kevin Hannon, Kevin Howard, Scott Yeager, Rex Shelby, and Michael Krautz – were indicted on various counts of conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud, insider trading, and money laundering

The Enron Executives: Joseph Hirko
[I'm starting a new series of Enron biographies. I begin with the Broadband Three, specifically Joe Hirko.]
At age 38, Joseph Hirko was the youngest CFO of an electric utility (Portland General Electric) anywhere in the country. His solid understanding of business and his ability to inspire others made him a popular, well-liked executive. A friend who remembers him from Portland General says that Joe was the epitome of calm command. “He’s the kind of guy who, if he was on fire, would calmly ask someone to bring him a glass of water,” the friend says. Understatement might have been his way, but his work product always overperformed. Like many of his future colleagues at Enron, Joe Hirko was ambitious and obsessive about his work. While he was CFO, he headed up a tiny new venture in the company called FirstPoint Communications, which was building a fiber-optics network.
When Enron bought PGE in 1997, Hirko thought it was a good time to expand the fiber-optic network, which was making money. This idea would become one of the three business units at Enron Broadband Services.

Excerpt:
The Flag Code states, "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
The correct order is US, then other nationality (always flown at the same height as the US flag), and then state flag.
Section 7g of the Flag Code states: "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."

KRNV News 4A situation arose in Reno, where a Mexican Flag was flown above the US flag on a single pole. This was a violation of the Flag Code and was apparently done to make a political statement.
Let's start by looking at the Flag Code. You will find there is a contradiction. First it says that all foreign flags should fly at the same height as the US flag. But later, it says that no foreign flag should fly at the same height as the US flag.

International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."Notwithstanding the confusion here, it is always recommended to fly foreign flags from separate poles, and that the flags should be flown at the same height (or the US flag slightly higher) and be of same or similar size.
7c. starts, "No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America..."
7c. later on reads (emphasis ours), "No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof..."
