Little known NATO "Grand Strategy" paper.
Towards a Grand Stategy for an Uncertain World, Renewing Transatlantic Partnership
This 152-page white paper calls for the use of 'existing institutions' to provide cooperation in a 'security infrastructure' that 'transforms and adapts' NATO to use 'non military capabilities' to deal with 'current threats,' supporting nuclear first strikes, and setting out a three stage agenda:
in the short term, steps must be taken to secure Afghanistan,
in the medium term, NATO must coordinate with the European Union, EU, rather than be in a rivalry, and
in the long term, Europe and the United States must work together, and be coordinated by NATO
Many of [the authors] were together 11 September 2001 at a meeting in the Netherlands.Then the idea was born to write a book on future security. (page 149) This document came out of that idea. http://csis.org/files/media/csis/events/080110_grand_strategy.pdf
NATO is far more important that people realize!

There is billions of dollars in the states and trillions worldwide stolen from the tax coffers to pay cps, ss and corrupt courts to steal our children. We do not know any other reason except the money that is pushed down from the top, and disappears somewhere along the way... and no one is monitoring the organized crime that is CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVICES... these entities DO NOT SUPPORT FAMILIES, THEY TURN CHILDREN INTO PRODUCT AND STEAL THEM AND SELL THEM OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, stealing tax dollars EVERY STEP OF THE WAY...
this must be stopped and the assets and wealth of ALL WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS ORGANIZED CRIME, be seized and redistributed to the victims, families and children, WORLDWIDE.
thank you all for all you do... we will never, ever, ever, give up...
WE ARE COMING FOR OUR CHILDREN! expect us.
"Immigration rights march"
Yes. Let's not just make everyone in the US legal, let's invite everyone in the world come and be a citizen.
We're bigots to only let those in the US at the moment become a citizen.
