In 2005, Maude Barlow wrote her fifteenth book entitled Too Close for Comfort: Canada's Future within Fortress North America. It's a chilling view of "deep integration" with the USA - we are to provide big brother with all the natural resources (oil, water, minerals, etc) and Mexico can provide the cheap labour. It's the American Dream. The 19th century notion of "manifest destiny" seems to be forever expanding. Their greedy eyes search each continent and they found a small African kingdom in the mountains. "Free trade" is always free for the USA but it's the people of the other country who will pay dearly.


According to the Times of Swaziland "March 17 either signals that freedom of peaceful assembly is finally being recognized or that every member of society is now unhappy with government and has moved from the comfort zones and demanding action." There were several organizational gatherings - the new police union, Swaziland Youth Congress (SWAYOCO), the People’s United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO), the Swaziland National Association of Teachers (SNAT), the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions (SFTU) the Swaziland Nurses Association (SNA), the Swaziland Coalition of Concerned Civic Organisations (SCCCO) and the Swaziland Federation of Labour (SFL).They "were also planning on how to beat government." April 12th will mark the 34th anniversary of the 1973 Decree which banned all political parties and gathering - the Swazi people will not accept this any longer.
