Calling the shots on the EU & NAFTA.(Ahead Of The Curve)

ITEM: The June 18 Associated Press reported." "European Union leaders agreed Friday on the first constitution for the reunited continent, overcoming disputes about power-sharing, national sovereignty and even whether God deserved a mention, officials said." AP added, "The constitution aims to streamline the EU's complex institutions and boost its image on the world stage by creating an EU foreign minister: Fearing gridlock in the expanded club, the document also aims to curb areas where individual countries can veto decisions."

AHEAD OF THE CURVE: Many Europeans are now awakening to the designs of their leaders, realizing that the "Common Market" agreement sold to them years ago is now metastasizing into a full-blown, socialist regional government.

In our April 10, 1989 article entitled "United States of Europe," we noted that "the first concrete step forward in the plan for abolition of the European nation-states came in 1951 with the signing of the treaty creating the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC)," which was authored by the "Father of Europe," Jean Monnet.

ITEM: "After the highest court in Massachusetts ruled against a Canadian real estate company and after the United States Supreme Court declined to hear its appeal, the company's day in court was over. Or so thought Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall of the Massachusetts court, until she learned of yet another layer of judicial review, by an international tribunal." So reported an April 18 New York Times article tellingly headlined "NAFTA Tribunals Stir U.S. Worries."

The Times interviewed Abner Mikva, a former chief judge of the federal appeals court in Washington and a former congressman, concerning another case in Mississippi. Mikva is "one of the three NAFTA judges considering the Mississippi case." "He declined to discuss it," stated the Times "but did offer his perspective on Chapter 11 [of the NAFTA agreement]. ...
