Meet the United States of South America! - Next Step in the New World Order?

I don't think South America would construct America as an opponent, unless some situation demand that they do so. I think South America just wants autonomy.

Autonomous countries without the ugly hands of the empire.

Hugo Chavez should shut up, though.

he needs to stop scapegoating us on everything

The New World Order is a planet of super-states, for example the European Union, one currency... one government... one leader. It is what I would describe as neo-fascism.

There are some uploads on current.com about the upcoming North American Union which will be set up through the Security and Prosperity act and with the construction of the NAFTA Super highway.

Hugo Chavez sounds like a dictator now as well. Not good at any political extreme.

It is easy to see this being the new direction of South American loyalty. With the sinking dollar and the rising Mega-Euro it might end up being a last chance for this side of the world to compete with Asia and the European Union. Just wait there will be Mexamericanada coming soon.

Every so often a number of countries will form a little group. We see this all too often and most of the time it makes no difference in the long run.

america needs some sort of a union to keep up with china.maybe the amero makes sense.

The more we can unite with our neighbors - the better.
We're all looking to improve our economies.

South America poses no threat to us, and we should not pose any threat to them.

Creating nation blocks like this and the EU could be a good thing, however it also could lead to massive power struggles.

yeah yeah step in line south america

Wow, one step closer to what Simon Bolivar hoped for when he liberated South America from Spain. Nice!

If they're teaming up together they should be worried about fixing the living conditions of their own countries. If they neglect their own citizens in favor of picking fights with other countries they're no better than the 'empire' that they're fighting with.

Oh my god way to freak out over something positive. The EU has what 2000 soldiers? A single US militia could kick their ass. Oh no watch out the EU sent you a nasty message which threatens sanctions! Its just like 1984!

If anything the US resembles Orwell’s vision of the future.

I think DUMB YA will think next time before he tries to strong arm another countries leaders like he did to Chavez. I don't blame Chavez for doing what he sees as revenge. I don't say he is right but DUMB YA sure made a mistake. I will be so happy when America and the world is rid of this idiot and his clan. Put the entire lot in jail or send them to Vermont where the people have the guts and know how to do what congress and the rest of America can't or does not have the stomach for.

Sounds like Hugo has been chewing the cocao leaf again.

Research the Security and Prosperity Partnership. Used to be a link on the Department of Commerce web site. Shapes of things to come. Our buddy Bush has pointed the United States in this direction for the last 8 years. I'm betting that this will be continued regardless fo whoever wins in November. A year ago I said that I didn't think that anyone who was not a globalist could get the nomination much less the White House, regardless of political party. Seems I am correct. Beware.

egos are gonna be crushed..and I guess the only place left are the Asian countries.

1. Been done before. Ever hear of the OAS?

2. Chavez is a murderer. He staged a Coup in 1992 where over 100 people were killed. Oh BTW he staged the coup against a democratically elected Government.

3. Unasur is just another of a long line of attempts to unite South America. FYI. Those borders are there for a reason. We don't like each other.

that's insane!

Hmmmm..

all i need is Ecuador .

way to go junior.. its pretty sad when one of the few positive results of your presidency is unity - a unity based on the mutual disregard for george bush and his ignorant ways..

if chavez were to declare his own equivalent of the monroe doctrine, there would be more than a handful of politicians calling him america's "number one enemy".. his ambitions appear to be the product of american interference with a twist of his own personal flamboyance..

but i agree with the previous comment regarding priorities.. south america would seem to benefit more from tackling corruption and crime these days instead of lame duck administrations.. then again, im not living there at the moment, so..

peace

well, united is better than divided

Chavez is a socialist, and now Ecuador and Bolivia have gone to the left. There will be a lot of leftist influence in this new union.

My family is from Ecuador and I was the first born of my family in the United States. One of my uncles immigrated to the US first and then my father came not too long after that. By 1959 he came and his first job was working at SkyChef, the company that made the food for the airlines back when they served you complete meals on flights. He made $1.50 per hour back then. He met my mother while he worked there, she was from Iowa and had moved to California in search of greener pasture$.

By the time my father reached the year 1964 he was making $400 per week as a baker for Ontra Cafeterias in Beverly Hills. By 1969 he became a cosmetologist and owned a beauty shop in Beverly Hills on Burton Way. By this time he was making $5000 per month and he bought the first house we lived in and started traveling to other countries. Things were so different then, there were genuine opportunities that allowed people to make something of themselves; on their own terms.

Now it seems to make it you either have to prostitute your integrity or become a butcher for the state; literally civil servants, the slave kind. So many people now can only get minimum wage jobs even with higher education degrees. In Eugene, Oregon, where I live now, you will often find people with Master's degrees waiting on tables.

Ecuador doesn't use their own currency anymore, the Sucre, instead they trade dollars, everything is in dollars. I am not sure how many countries are doing that now because their currencies have crumbled due to the economic policies of the American Empire.

There used to be an American Military Base in Ecuador to protect the Oil drilling operations in the country, but when the latest president got elected, he asked the United States to allow Ecuador to build a Military Base in the United States, which of course was refused, so he told them to get their base off Ecuadorian soil. That took a lot of balls!

"South America poses no threat to us, and we should not pose any threat to them."

Only that America have and they are a threat to SouthAmerican economies, since the 50s

Pwdrskir,

The US base in Ecuador is for illegal drug interdiction and was invited there by one of the previous Ecuadoran Administrations.
The base is still there and in full operation.
The deal was for 10 years and is due to expire in 2009 and Ecuador has indicated they will not renew.
What a shame as the base pumped millions of dollars in to the local economy of Manta where the base is located.
No worries though. The US will leave and we will all sit back and watch the Economy of Ecuador as well as those of Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua spiral down the tubes.
Oh...we don't have to wait. It is happening now.

The US' only realy enemy in the region is Hugo Chavez wanting to blow up everybody who ticks him off. In essence we re all Americans, north, central, south. Unity is something to help prosper peace, not create violence.

Anyone who supports this, is supporting a "One World Government," which is the end goal and intention of the powers that be...this should be horrible news, and to alot of you it isnt.

Recognize the problem....its not the fact that there are powerful people planning to take over the world, its the fact that were letting them by not caring.
