    fast track to rule by the big banks EIR Special Report, May 1991 Auschwitz below the border: Free trade and George 'Hitler' Bush's program for Mexican genocide A critical issue facing the nation in this presidential election year is NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Bush and Clinton both back it. This proposed treaty with Mexico will mean slave-labor, the rampant spread of cholera, and throwing hundreds of thousands of workers onto the unemployment lines-on both sides of the border-all for the purpose of bailing out the Wall Street and City of London banks. In this 75-page Special Report, ElR's investigators tell the truth about what the banker-run politicians and media have tried to sell as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get economic growth started across the Americas. The Wall Street crowd-led by none other than Henry Kissinger-are going berserk to ram this policy through Congress. Kis­ singer threatened in April: "It should be signed by all parties, and should be defended on all sides as a political vision, and not merely as a trade agreement." Kissinger's pal David Rockefeller added: "Without the fast track, the course of history will be stopped." With this report, ElR's editors aim to stop Rockefeller and his course of history-straight toward a banking dictatorship. $75 per copy ,.

With many of the lockdown restrictions easing, it is lovely now to be able to spend time with close and extended family, life seems to be a little less stressful, and it certainly helps to have had some glorious weather. Midsummer is such a lovely time of year to celebrate with the children. As a child I would be building dens and making camp fires at the bottom of the garden with all my friends. One day we decided to make perfume from rose petals and picked all my Mother’s roses and cooked them up over the camp fire. We then put the lovely potion into jam jars. It only smelt of smoke, and my Mum was not at all pleased when she found all her roses picked! This week, we would normally be celebrating Midsummer and St John’s Day in Kindergarten by inviting all the Early Years families to our Strawberry Fair. It is one of the festivals that the children love the most. The run up to it in Kindergarten is such fun, making strawberry jam, baking scones, printing headbands and felting strawberry necklaces.
