A 'North American Union' Will Drag Us Down
 Earl von Kaenel - Vacaville Reporter
"... And the truth shall make you free" - but can we ever really learn the truth when so many of the mainstream media are members of the Council on Foreign Relations, as are members of Congress, the departments of State and Defense, business and industry, universities and even the judiciary?
How many readers are aware that our government is planning a North American Union right now? Planning for this union began in March 2005, when the governments of the United States, Canada and Mexico agreed to create the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
Here are the "short-term" goals, to be achieved before 2010:
• A common security perimeter, patrolled jointly by Mexican, Canadian and American authorities
• Total free movement of all people within the "North American Union" - which means more Mexican immigration into the United States.
• Harmonizing regulations among the three countries, which will water down protection for American workers to the level of Mexican workers.
• A common external tariff and trade policy.
Shortly after the partnership was created, the left- leaning Council on Foreign Relations released its playbook for what is to come after the short-term goals have been accomplished:
• A common defense structure, linking the armed forces of Mexico, Canada and the United States.
• A North America Investment Fund to encourage American and Canadian companies to relocate to Mexico.
• A permanent supra-national tribunal above the U.S. Constitution to resolve trade disputes.
• A coordinated social safety net that would give Mexicans a piece of the American Social Security system.
• A North American Inter-Parliamentary Group.
At a press conference at Baylor University on March 23, 2005, attended by President Bush and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts, a reporter asked, "Keeping in mind, in front of us, the European Union, how much is this partnership a first step towards continental integration?" Bush responded, "The vision that you asked about in your question as to what kind of union might there be, I see one based upon free trade, that would entail commitment to markets and democracy, transparency, rule of law."
In Texas, plans are under way to construct new toll roads and to sell existing roads to a foreign consortium which would then convert them to toll roads. The tolls would be the funding mechanism to construct a massive NAFTA Super Highway connecting Mexico with Canada.
In April 2006, the Texas Department of Transportation released a 4,000-page document that describes a corridor 1,200-feet wide - the size of four football fields. It will have five northbound and five southbound lanes - three in each direction for cars; two, for trucks. In the middle will be pipelines and rail lines. It will also have a 200-foot-wide utility corridor.
Plans call for building some 4,000 miles of super-corridors through Texas during the next 50 years. The routes will ultimately proceed to Kansas City, Mo., where a Mexican Customs facility will be built. This spring, city officials signed off on a 50-year lease for the Mexican facility, with an option for 50 more years.
Supercargo ships, carrying goods manufactured by cheap labor in the far East and China, will unload in Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico, avoiding the costly longshoremen in Los Angeles or Long Beach. The containers will be loaded onto non-union Mexican railroads bound for Monterrey, Mexico. There they will be loaded onto nonunion Mexican semi-trailers that will cross the border at Laredo, Texas, to begin their journey north along the first leg of the planned NAFTA Super Highway.
Why are the "talking heads" not reporting this? The source of my information comes from The New American, The Phyllis Schlafly Report, Immigration Watch, Free the Eagle and Middle American News. |
