7) location of "safe facilities" for members of Congress and their families to hide from expected massive civil unrest

8) imminent merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico for corporate plunder of natural resources and cheap labor (the North American Union)

9) The Amero-a new currency issued in all three merged nations as a solution to the imminent economic meltdown

It was all supposed to be Ultra Top Secret, heavy gag orders. Word is that some congressmen were so pissed off about this alleged future of the Nation, information has been leaking. Should we believe every leak we hear? Anyone ever heard of crying wolf?

(Change of demeanor started settling over Darin like swimmer's itch-just in time for another round of Crown Royal doubles, neat)....

Been lots of rhetoric about this North American Union thing...a lot from reliable sources. Like, we want Canada for their energy, and Mexico for cheap labor. I was listening to Phyllis Schlafly.... S'pose...maybe there are some things going on to be pretty concerned about. All this biz about the Amero, certainly doesn't sound very good. What's the matter with dollars? Greenbacks. Make an honest buck. No doubt...beyond a doubt, government is complicated as hell. You know what they say about watching government, and watching sausage being made. Today I heard about American gunboats firing on an Iranian vessel. Perfect way to start a war. We can't do war with Iran, at least not with so many irons in the fire already. Besides, The People don't want war with Iran. They don't even want war with Iraq. And if we go ahead and attack Iran-sure, Iran's pretty evil, all the terror stuff, and wantin' to wipe Israel off the map. This El Sadr guy...I mean Ahmadinejad, just look at him. And just listen to General Petraeous about Iranians already fighting a proxy war with us in Iraq. But if we attack Iran, lotsa people are gonna die. Lotsa people are gonna see it as our government not wanting to be our friend anymore, startin' to push us around like the big playground bully....

Right now...I been thinkin' about goin' back on the meds. They warned me to never stop on my own. Been two weeks, and maybe I oughta start writing to representatives about whether or not government is still our friend.
