"How much further along into the new world order, are we today than we were at the end of 2004? How much closer are we to world government the international scene and to the police state conditions and other measures necessary to support the idea of constitutional control on government and free speech about such on the domestic front? I've constructed the time line with these kinds of questions in mine. I doubt I caught everything others may have to made fills in some gaps, as they see fit. Don’t look here for event’s such as the re-cent ice storm, which was a big deal around here but frankly this is small potatoes next to the big picture. Also, if you're looking for info on celebrity weddings, divorces, affairs, and other such nonsense, you are reading the wrong column. January 20th: President B… was inaugurated for the second term, sending a message to the world that it was full speed ahead "When our founders declared a ‘new order of the ages ..., they were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled", he said (italics mine). He used the word freedom 27 times in his acceptance speech, which was not well-received anywhere. I called Orwell. January 25th, B-us-h requested from Congress an additional $80 billion to fight the continuing Iraq war, pushing the total to over 280 billion. January 30: Iraq held an election. February 3: Roberto R Gonzales was confirmed as U.S. Attorney General. In January 2002 Gonzales advised the president that the United States Constitution does not apply to his actions as Commander in Chief. He is also on record as having said "The Supreme Court tells us what the constitution says and Means,” marking him as a legal positivist who sees the Constitution as a "living document". February 10: North Korea announced to the world that it had nuclear weapons. March 22: A federal judge refused to order the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube, leaving a woman-severely brain damaged but in stable condition-to die of slow dehydration and starvation. Critics argued that this ruling sends America slightly further down this slippery slope of devaluing human life to- ward involuntary euthanasia. For although this was not the first case of euthanasia in this country, it was the first case for someone whose condition was stable and who (to the best anyone could determine) was not suffering. March 23, President (Bssh) met with Mexican President Vincent Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin at Baylor University in Waco Texas and signing the security and prosperity partnership of North America (SPP), further committed the 3 NAFTA nations to further economic (and additional forms of) integration. They announced plans to form working groups to study ways of implementing the agreement and report back within 9 days. March 31 Terry Schiavo died of dehydrate-ion. April 2: Pope John Paul II passed away after a long period of declining health. According to the website <cuttingedge.org>, the late Pope did more than any of his predecessors to unite the world's religions, in accordance with the New World Order plan to bring about a globalized ecumenical pseudo Christianity along side the world government. April 6: Iraq Assembly elected Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani as the country's interim president. The new Prime Minister in Iraq backed the U.S. military presence. April 10: CBS announced that the national debt had topped $7.8 trillion. April 14, Congress passed the Bankruptcy Prevention Act approved by the House 302-126 and by the Senate 74-25. This bill, which was signed by the president later the same day, makes it considerably more difficult for individuals to declare bankruptcy. Critics called it a bonanza for all of the credit card companies. April 24: Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI. April 26: the U.S. military officially called off its hunt for WMDs in Iraq.
