"President Quietly Creating 'Nafta Plus'

Wow, no wonder all but true conservatives are falling all over themselves to pass the senate immigration bill.

No wonder what the senate is "working out" makes no sense whatsoever as far as securing borders.

The more I read about this, the less I like it and expect a voter backlash toward more conservatives being elected from city councils up.

Perhaps pressure to follow through with this has something to do with the US dollar on world money markets ... my conspiracy theory of the day. Wink

"President Quietly Creating 'NAFTA Plus'

by Jerome R. Corsi

Source Human Events Online

"Without announcing his intentions to do so, President Bush has decided to support the creation of a North American Union through a process of governmental regulations, never having to bring the issue before the American people for a clear referendum or vote.

The Bush Administration has decided to "back-door" the creation of a North American Union political entity that would effectively erase our borders with Mexico and Canada and create several super-regional governing bodies that would have jurisdiction over the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court.

This analysis has been advanced by economist Miguel Pickard at the Center for Economic and Political Research for Community Action (CIEPAC) in Chiapas, Mexico. Writing for the International Relations Center in New Mexico, Pickard explains how what he calls "NAFTA Plus" is being put in place by political elites in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, largely without explanation to or understanding by the public in any of the three countries:

Contrary to NAFTA, whose tenets were laid out in a single negotiated treaty subjected to at least cursory review by the legislatures of the participating countries, NAFTA Plus is more the elites’ shared vision of what a merged future will look like. Their ideas are being implemented through the signing of "regulations," not subject to citizens' review. The vision may initially have been labeled NAFTA Plus, but the name gives a mistaken impression of what is at hand, since there will be no single treaty text, no unique label to facilitate keeping tabs. Perhaps for this reason, some civil society groups are calling the phenomenon by another name, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPPNA), an official sobriquet for the summits held by the three chief executives to agree on the future of "North America."

We have previously discussed the March 2005 summit in Waco, Tex., where President Bush, President Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Martin made their joint statement announcing the formation of "The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" (SPP). The Department of Commerce documents the extensive working agenda undertaken by the U.S. government to implement the SPP directive.

Miguel Packard goes on to note that Bush has signed onto the North American Union agenda:

After initially rejecting it, the idea of a "North American community" has come of age among U.S. government strategists and a convinced George W. Bush is now vigorously pushing it forward.

We have also pointed to the Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR) task force report entitled "Building a North American Community" that contains the blueprint for creating a North American Union by 2010. The CFR task force report makes clear that a fundamental goal of the contemplated North American Union would be to redefine boundaries such that the primary immigration control will be around the three countries of the North American Union, not between the three countries.

Packard argues that a driving reason Bush has embraced the idea of creating the North American Union is to secure natural resources -- Canadian water as well as oil and natural from both Canada and Mexico. Regarding water, Packard notes that "Bush declared that Canada’s water was part of the United States' energy security." As evidence, he cites "mega-projects" proposed by the U.S., such as a "Grand Canal" that would transport "plentiful water from Canadian rivers and lakes to the Great Lakes." Regarding oil and natural gas, Packard comments that a North American Union would "guarantee a relatively cheap flow of oil," making the idea of creating a single North American space suddenly "not so ludicrous."

Packard documents the extensive work the CFR independent task force (ITF) took to create their blueprint report. ITF had three meetings, in Toronto (October 2004), New York (December 2004), and Monterrey (February 2005), before releasing their final report (May 2005), just after the Waco trilateral meeting. A key adviser to ITF was Robert Pastor, director of the Center for North American Studies at American University. Even though Pastor supported John Kerry for President in 2004, he ends up having a major impact on Bush as the current administration moves forward to implement the CFR plan to form a North American Union.

Even before joining the ITF as vice chair, Pastor was preaching the need for the North American Union to have a political agenda. In a speech titled "A Modest Proposal" in snide homage to Jonathan Swift, Pastor told the Trilateral Commission in 2002 that the North American Union needed to implement a series of political proposals which would have authority over the sovereignty of the United States, Canada and Mexico. Specifically, Pastor called for the creation of North American passports and a North American Customs and Immigrations, which would have authority over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department of Homeland Security. A North American Parliamentary Group would oversee the U.S. Congress. A Permanent Court on Trade and Investment would resolve disputes within NAFTA, exerting final authority over the judgments of the U.S. Supreme Court. A North American Commission would "develop an integrated continental plan for transportation and infrastructure."

Pastor also advocated the creation of a new currency, the "Amero," to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso, much as the Euro replaced the currencies of the individual participating countries. The creation of the Amero had first been proposed by economist Herbert Grubel in a 1999 report to the Canadian Fraser Institute calling for a "North American Monetary Union."

Bush's determination to press for a North American Union may well be a key reason the Bush Administration has not secured our border with Mexico. Since 1986, important law enforcement provisions of our various immigration laws have been largely ignored, while "amnesty" provisions have grandfathered millions of illegal aliens to stay and gain citizenship.

The Bush Administration has supported adding enforcement to the Kennedy-McCain bill (S. 2611) currently being debated in the Senate. Are provisions to build a 370-mile wall and to send the National Guard to the border being added merely to look tough, with the real goal being to legalize the 12 million illegal aliens the administration admits are already in the country? Conservatives in the Senate and the House must demand be answers before final votes are taken and a conference committee sets to work.

What is your goal, Mr. President, to establish a North American Union where the border with Mexico is erased, or to secure the border once and for all, such that the invasion of Mexico's underclass into America stops?"

Looks like the NWO-One world government theory is becoming more real everyday! Bush's daddy used to spew that crap when he was pres. I never bought into it because i just didn't believe america would ever go for the lower wages, lower living conditions, less freedom type system. But were rapidly approaching it. If you send all the good jobs out and replace your majority with people who are used to being screwed around by their government and accept it as just a way of life, then it all comes into play. I knew for sure not much would be done with the immigration problem because they want it! Doesn't matter what we want, they know whats best for us...

There is always the revolution at the ballot box.

We've been re-programmed for the past 40 years to do what we're told and that everyone will look out for our welfare.

We've been re-educated that conservatives are all bad .... but real conservatives are the ones believing in US sovereignty and securing our borders instead of allowing us to fall under a super bureaucratic elitist rule. Check how the votes are going on the issue.

We've been dumbed down, beaten down, we've grown apathetic about voting believing our voice won't be heard and so long as we continue to believe like that then we'll get just what they're proving they're giving .... stuffing an issue down our throats.

Register to vote and do it, whether it's absentee ballot, early ballot in some areas, or in person.

Check their votes on the issue to see what your senators and representatives have done.

Email your senators and representatives with short concise facts, not hysteria.

Vote conservative, vote for the candidate tough on these issues. Just do it!!

ANYONE WHO WILL NOT SECURE THE BORDERS WOULD JUST AS EASILY INVITE TERRORISTS TO CROSS INTO THE US AND ATTACK US AGAIN TO KEEP US "IN LINE."

It's not the number of people who vote, it's who they vote for. The gay marriage issue shook the Bush in the last election. No pun intended. That issue won whole states. It worked well. Our own hatred stopped us from looking at the real issues.

How do we get people to look at the real issues? How do we get people to stop looking at our country's political system as democratic, republician, conservative, liberal, etc.? That's the damn problem. Maybe if we quit fighting each other we can see the real issues as well. WE THE PEOPLE! We are all gonna go down together and the ones that were up the highest will hit the ground the hardest.

The issue of mass invasion is going to be a uniting force especially once all factors are known. That's why I keep digging.

It is conservative sites, conservative talk radio that are pushing for closed borders, true immigration reform so that is the compelling argument about liberal versus conservative.

I certainly don't see any rationaile coming from the liberal MSM which tires to PC gloss everything over they don't intentionally slant.

BTW, I'm not a true conservative but even I was put off by the gay "marriage" issue ..... had they called it anything other than what symbolized hetrosexual union for hundreds of years then it would have been fine with me. The fault was in the manner they intended to shove it down our throats which didn't work.

BTW the majority of people vote for what's in it for them alone, who can give it to them the fastest, not the nation.

That exactly what I'm saying "that shove it done our throats ploy only happens during election time" They'd tell the gays that they can get married and then tell them they can't and they march and all the people get scared.LOL And the majority of people voted for that issue alone. I mean people who had never voted before. That issue came up two elections straight.

In Atlanta we have recognized "domestic partnerships" so in my opinion meaningful long term relationships should have some sort of legal stature.

The problem is that gay activist groups chose to hang the wrong name onto them which offended a great many voters.

Had they the good sense to call it something different it likely would have been minuscule in the overall picture. They shot themselves in their own foot.
