More Evidence of North American Merger

| In The Late Great USA, Corsi proves that the benignly-named "Security and Prosperity Partnership," created at a meeting between George W. Bush, Stephen Harper and Vincente Fox, is in fact the same kind of regional integration plan that led Europe to form the EU. According to Corsi, the elites in Europe who wanted to create a European nation knew that "it would be necessary to conceal from the peoples of Europe just what was being done in their name until the process was so far advanced that it had become irreversible."

The Hudson Institute acknowledges that the Security and Prosperity Partnership is leading to North American integration, without congressional approval.
The Hudson Institute, a Washington think tank, recently released a report acknowledging that the Bush administration is using the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to integrate the United States, Canada, and Mexico and that it is doing so without congressional approval or oversight. The fact that the report is pro-SPP makes its admissions all the more significant.
The report, coauthored by Greg Anderson of the University of Alberta and Christopher Sands of the Hudson Institute, is entitled Negotiating North America: The Security and Prosperity Partnership. It states that "the SPP process is the vehicle for the discussion of future arrangements for economic integration to create a single market for goods and services in North America, and future arrangements for security against potential terrorist attacks on this continent."
"Economic integration" a term frequently used in the report would lead to political integration. The continental "single market" would be a market in which the rules and regulations not just for trade but for labor, the environment, etc. of all three North American countries have been harmonized. It would also be a market allowing for the easy flow of both people and goods across the national boundaries within North America. Those boundaries would become practically meaningless not only in terms of transit and commerce but also in terms of security. And security, which also would be integrated, would be provided for the continent as a whole at a new North American security perimeter.
Yet this step-by-step integration would occur in fact, it is occurring under the radar screen of Congress. The SPP was established jointly by President Bush and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts by executive decree, with Congress left out of the process. As the Hudson report puts it: "The SPP was designed to function within existing administrative authority of the executive branch."
If the SPP process is fully implemented, it would lead to a North American Union. Yet here the Hudson report is less candid: "The SPP was never devised by the three governments as a plot to subvert U.S. sovereignty or lay the foundation for a 'North American Union,' which would require an investment of far more thought and political capital than the SPP has ever been given in order to achieve them."
Yes, more would be required than the SPP has been given to achieve a North American Union. But the SPP in its current form is not the final goal, just as NAFTA, an earlier steppingstone on the path to continental merger, was not the final goal either. The intent of the planners behind NAFTA and the SPP is to continue moving the merger process along until their embryonic continental government becomes a full-fledged North American Union.
William F. Jasper, Senior Editor of The New American magazine, puts the SPP agenda in its proper context in his article "Continental Merger" in the special "North American Union" issue of The New American. I encourage any American concerned about our national independence and freedoms to read Bill Jaspers article as well as the rest of the issue.
