At the beginning of Nick Turse's The Complex, we meet "Rick," an educated, antiwar, Daily Show-watching resident of the New York City suburbs. Rick wakes up to a Sony alarm clock, brushes his teeth with Crest toothpaste, and showers with Herbal Essences shampoo before catching a segment about Iraq on NBC's Today Show.

The Amero is not being pursued by various elite-driven "Security and Prosperity Partnership" (SPP) related interests because of alleged benefits to the general Canadian, U.S. and Mexican public.
