Patrick Wood, founder of The August Review, is a part of the "freedom movement."  He is motivated by pursuit of a strong America and preservation of sovereignty, principles undermined by current trade policies.  Patrick has plenty of friends on the right, and, you may be surprised to learn, plenty on the left. He disdains the knee-jerk suspicion shown by one side towards the other.

Patrick sees large swaths of commonality between the left and the right, and is working to strengthen them.  Indeed, he has started a new networking website called LeftRightUnite.  The site seems to be taking off soon after launch, and even though it is still in the beta version.

Here Patrick's explanation of the concept that party affiliation is meaningless at best, and destructive at worst, in working to get the country on the right track.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, who cared about political party affiliation? Men (and women) dropped everything to defeat the common enemy. Why? Because survival of their country was as risk!

We face just such a time as that.

We are being plundered by free trade, private-public-partnerships and international banks. Our food and product safety mechanisms have been systematically dismantled and are headed toward all-time lows. Our farms are being destroyed to extent that we are now net importers of food (and lousy food, at that). Our manufacturing base is almost completely gone as companies are bought and sent to cheaper labor markets. (read more)

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Can you hear the crunching, tearing sound of our midsection being ripped open?

If either Republicans or Democrats could have fixed America, they would have done it long before now.

The more you look, the more you see that both major U.S. political parties are dominated by the same group of global elitists. The same super-rich foundations. The same NGO's. The same global bankers. The same lobbyists. The same global corporations.

Furthermore, the globalizers know that in order to keep our eyes off of them, they need to keep us fighting among ourselves over issues more petty than merely saving our nation from total extinction.

The fact is, if Americans would stop fighting long enough to see these hijackers for who they really are and for what they have done to us, they would puke them out of the U.S. in less than a country minute.

My message to liberals and conservatives of all flavors is this: "If you don't stop bickering and get down to business of protecting our sovereignty, we aren't going to have a country left to bicker in!"

In other words, stop falling for cheap tricks that point you down infinitely contentious trails leading to nowhere. This only buys the enemy more time to make another thousand cuts on what's left of our already wounded carcass.

I have heard for years from both conservatives and liberals that we need to join forces to save America. But, the bickering just gets louder.

Enough, already!

My contribution to this mess is to offer a new social networking web site, LeftRightUnite!, where all sides can get together in a constructive way, for a specific purpose -- to save the ship-of-state for another day.

If you don't know what a social network is, think MySpace.com or FaceBook.com. If you still don't know, you will just have to go there and grab a membership to find out. Either way, it won't cost you a dime.

With LeftRightUnite!, you can express yourself, make friends, join action groups, locate people around you, organize protests, visits to your legislators, whatever.

Just don't sit still.

Left vs Right
written by Jory Gromer , November 05, 2007
I have no problem working with those like minded on issues relating to our sovereignty and on foreign trade issues. However, in my mind the major problems or areas of disagreement surrounding both issues involve the concepts of morality, right and wrong and of corresponding absolute values. Therein lies the problem. The right and left have wide differences in how we value of those concepts and will find it difficult to work together for long. And anything you compromise to keep will likely be lost.

Here is another piece written by Dr. McMillion of MBG Information Services.

Even during year of recession, the US is producing almost $2 billion each day LESS than it is spending and is forced to borrow and sell assets abroad to make up the difference

The Dept. of Commerce’ BEA reported today on the most complete accounting of US commercial relations with the world – the Current Account -- for 2008-Q3. Despite the US recession that started one year ago, today’s report shows that during the 91 days of Q3 the US suffered another -$174.1 billion in global losses bringing total Current Account losses for the first three calendar quarters of 2008 to -$530,675 billion.

That is, despite the US recession that began in December 2007, through the first 274 days of 2008 the US produced goods and services worth -$1.94 billion LESS each day than it spent and was forced to borrow and sell assets abroad to offset the difference. Economists expect that when a country’s economy is growing slower than the world economy – and certainly when it is in recession – that country’s current accounts will be in surplus as it imports less and exports more.
 
Since 2001 the US has grown slower than the world economy every year and yet the US has accumulated current account deficits (production shortages/net foreign borrowing) totaling -$4.8 Trillion.
 
Any economic rescue plan that ignores this constant hemorrhage of production and wealth is doomed to tragic failure.
