- RogerStrong, on 05/27/2008, -0/+2As I said above, no-one denies that the TTC megahighway exists, at least as a shady proposal.

But what Rep Kapture is talking about is something else entirely. - RogerStrong, on 05/27/2008, -0/+2Examples?
- armoreddillo, on 05/27/2008, -0/+2for those who say it isn't what it is,
it is, and it's going right through the middle of my home state.
What ever happened to don't mess with texas? - TKOslam, on 05/27/2008, -0/+1This needs to get to the frontpage, everyone start Digging.
- scout154, on 05/27/2008, -0/+1I hope enough people take this serious...
- RogerStrong, on 05/27/2008, -0/+1Both projects - the REAL projects - were heavily publicised long before Dobbs donned the tinfoil hat. NASCO has been in the papers here in Winnipeg for about 14 years.
I even supplied the web sites, above.
This is yet another way that the NAU/Amero/Superhighway theory crowd shows it's UFO theory crowd roots:
Step 1: NASA takes a photo of a hill on Mars that looks vaguely like a face.
Step 2: It gets included in press releases, spread to outside researchers in photos and datasets, and even included on a Mars imagery CD - one of the first data CDs you could get for computer CD drives when they first came out. The average person does not care.
Step 3: Years later, the UFO crowd notices it.
Step 4: The UFO crowd adds it to their mythology and conspiracy theories.
Step 5: The UFO crowd hails the photo as "The photo NASA doesn't want you to see!!!!"
YOU are now on step 5. - aliengoods, on 05/27/2008, -1/+1Nobody denies it?! You're right. They don't deny it. They don't say anything about it. Lou Dobbs is the only one in the MSM who seems to acknowledge the existence of it.
- RogerStrong, on 05/27/2008, -3/+1This merely shows that even politicians can be fooled by the tinfoil hat crowd. She even admits that her information came from the internet - not any official source.
The reality:
The TTC megahighway exists, at least as a shady proposal.

No-one denies this, nor has it been kept secret. It's as bad as it sounds, with a lot of land seized under eminent domain. But it's in Texas only.
The NASCO SuperCorridor proposal - from Mexico to Canada - exists too.
http://www.nascocorridor.com/
No-one denies this either. Its also never been a secret. In fact it's been been discussed openly in the papers here for at least ten years. The picture she's showing came right off the web site.
It's a trade corridor on EXISTING roads, in support of the EXISTING NAFTA agreement. The idea is to harmonize the wildly different regulation that each state and province has regarding truck lengths, loads and brake systems - so that a truck can easily cross the continent under one set of standards. They're even careful not to take away cargo from the rail lines, since the governments have to maintain highways and not rails. It has no 10-lane mega-highway. No seizing of land under eminent domain.
But Kapture's combination of the two - a 10-lane megahighway from Mexico to Winnipeg - is a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory. And a rather stupid one at that.
