North American Stealth Politics

The United States military spends a great deal of time and money developing stealth weapons. Stealth bombers can evade detection systems to empty their payloads and escape with little resistance. Smokescreens can be used to cover up activity so it progresses without the enemy knowing until it is too late. Stealth is effective in combat situations.

Stealth is also effective in the politics of the unscrupulous. To our bad fortune, for them we are the enemy, we the people that our politicians are supposed to be serving. In a free and open society, the people are informed and respected, the transactions are transparent and citizens are not treated like enemy combatants, whose weaknesses are exploited for the politician’s gain.

For a long time, a stealth campaign has been proceeding, unnoticed by most Americans. The leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico, working with global government promoters, are building the infrastructure for an extra-national government of the North American Union, very similar to the European Union, who’s noose is ever-tightening over the member states.
