Super-secret Social Security Deal With Mexico Finally Makes The News

Elaine Meinel Supkis

After 3 1/2 years, a citizen's group finally forced the government to cough up the dirty details of a Social Security deal with Mexico. The fact that Congress did nothing and left it entirely to our dictator to come up with this scheme clearly shows the USA is a regime and not a democracy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After numerous refusals over three and a half years, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has released the first known public copy of the U.S.-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement. The government was forced to make the disclosure in response to lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act by TREA Senior Citizens League, a 1.2 million-member nonpartisan seniors advocacy group.

The Totalization Agreement could allow millions of illegal Mexican workers to draw billions of dollars from the U.S. Social Security Trust Fund.

The agreement between the U.S. and Mexico was signed in June 2004, and is awaiting President Bush's signature. Once President Bush approves the agreement, which would be done without Congressional vote, either House of Congress would have 60 days to disapprove the agreement by voting to reject it.

This is from the Yahoo! newsfeed. This news isn't going to appear in any major paper in the near or far future just like all the super-highway from Mexico to Canada isn't in the news, either. Ever since the quite unpopular NAFTA deal, all treaties and protocols with Mexico are top secret. Congress doesn't ask and the Presidents don't ever tell anything to anyone.

These secret deals were exactly what those of us who opposed NAFTA predicted would happen! It is amazing that Americans are being told, we can't afford Social Security by the same people who are making a secret deal with Mexico to send SS funds there. If Social Security is going 'bankrupt' then we better be talking about all of this, NO?

I mean, seriously, the guys running our country love to scare us with numbers and then they do what? Just like with nuclear war: pay no attention to what they say, track what they do. And they are building nuclear bomb shelters like crazy. And buying huge tracts of land in Paraguay, one of the few places where nuclear fallout won't fall.

Unless the Chinese or Russian nuke Paraguay and I bet they have made it a target now.

The illegal aliens using stolen Social Security numbers won't get this money. It will be legal aliens. And they paid into the system and perhaps deserve this money BUT it is the secrecy: why is this information not only secret but the government fought in court for over three years to keep it secret?

Like the secret concentration camps and CIA torture prisons, secret arrests and secret nuclear bomb shelter building: secrets are evil. I grew up in a very secretive family. 99% of what was going on was hidden as if we were in the Mafia which we were, the CIA Mafia.

This meant anytime someone demanded real information, they were attacked or driven out. In America we can still go to court for some things but increasingly, they get harder to obtain. I am a big believer in an open government where all issues are openly debated and the media covers these debates and doesn't hide tons of vital information. I believe that all lobbyists should be listed as 'foreign agents' and all meetings should be open and secret meetings to pass secret military information to AIPAC officials should lead to an execution if we are to have a secret state. And I hate all this and think secrets are crimes!

For most of the time, they are crimes. The nuclear bomb tests were secret. Talking about how radiation caused cancers was top secret in the fifties. Keeping the public blissfully unaware that nucleaqr bombs were raining down upon the earth for 15 years was thanks to laws enforcing secrecy.

Our financial fortresses are surrounded by secrets. Like understanding how money works: mega-secret. Knowing that the Social Security slush fund has been totally destroyed by freckless deficit spending is a top secret. Note how only one or two 'crank' Congresscritters are talking about this? Even when Bush blurted out the truth when he said the fund is nothing but a piece of paper with numbers, did we learn the full, hideous truth.

For keeping the truth at bay is the whole point. This empire runs on deception and a reckless disregard of the will of the people. It is a regime, plain and simple.

I am 100% certain that Russia has added Paraguay to its target list. Putin is a very vengeful man, and he will not allow King George to nuke his country and then fly to safety. Putin hates Bush with a passion that will see Paraguay turned into a land of glowing glass.

As for the deal to let legal aliens have SS funds, it is an empty promise. One that King George II, like many monarchs before him, will not honor. You cannot give what you do not have.

This business got started under Carter.

It was part of GATT. The original intent was to maintian a certain standard of social insurance for American employees of US multinationals who worked abroad for a number of years. There was greater parity in the level of economic prosperity between earlier signatories of the various bilateral treaties.

There is more to this story. What prompted the US to sign a treaty with Mexico? How many Americans work in Mexico for any length of time? The idea was that there would be reciprosity - not a wholesale giveaway.

Totalization of bullshit is assured with the traitor's congress and the great pretender at the controls.

I hope to see more news about this (it was NOT front page or even back page news in the major media!). Right now, I know nearly nothing because it is all SECRET!!!

This pisses me off. The secrecy.

The SS giveaway was included in S 1348, the "comprehensive immigration reform" treason. One thing I've noticed it that TPTB try to cover their asses as many ways as possible, by repeating the enabling laws of treason in executive orders, legislation, treaties, and administrative law. They probably do occult rituals to reinforce same. Oh, wait, I know they do. The River of Fire ceremony in Sydney at the recent APEC meeting was one such ritual.

Um, forgot this - I've read the queen lizard or the UK controls the US's SS fund. Are you familiar with that?
