FTAA

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox confirmed the existence of a plan conceived with President Bush to create a new regional currency in the Americas, in an interview last night on CNN's "Larry King Live."

Besides the U.S. George W. Bush administration's imperial aims and permanent war on the world, add the one at home below the radar. Its weapons include the WTO, NAFTA, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, CIA, NSA, NORTHCOM, militarized state and local police, National Guard forces, paramilitary mercenaries like Blackwater USA, and all other repressive instruments of state power and control. They target the people of three nations slowly becoming one headquartered in Washington. That's the apparent aim of those in power here wanting one continent, "indivisible" minus old-fashioned ideas like "liberty and justice for all" we used to believe in when, as kids, we recited our "Pledge of Allegiance." They now have a whole new meaning. They're just words drummed into young minds hoping they'll still believe them when they're old enough to know better.

It's been called "NAFTA on crack," and the participants have been derided as "the Three Amigos," but you'd better start taking the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) seriously. Aimed at keeping "our borders closed to terrorism yet open to trade," according to their website, the SPP is poised to change the face of North America.

A Conference Board of Canada report says the country needs to integrate its economy even further with the United States and among Canadian regions, if it is to overcome issues of lagging productivity and income growth.

OTTAWA (AP) -- Promoting prosperity topped the agenda at a gathering of U.S., Canadian and Mexican Cabinet leaders Friday, but immigration and the threat of terrorism also were key topics at the gathering.

Nine foreign and security ministers from the North American nations met in Ottawa, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership talks were a lead-up to a meeting of the countries' leaders this August in Canada.

 

The Environmental Conservation Organization put together an exceptional presentation on the North American Union. Point by point they show how this country is being stripped of its national sovereignty and fashioned into a model similar to the European Union. All of your family and friends needs to see this for themselves. The political think-tanks have already made it clear that the EU is the model for the rest of the world.

Globalization and the new world order are profound failures. They are based on flawed economic logic that ignores need to have no government intervention in free markets controlled by supply and demand. Democracy can not be created by developing new economic markets based on government corruption. History indicates free states precede free markets. Politcal democracy creates economic democracy not the other way around.

I found the comments by Robert Pastor in the Dec. 1 guest commentary, “Making a competitive continent,” to be most interesting. He sells his ideas with positive-sounding phrases like “opportunity to reinvigorate a deteriorating relationship” and “markets for U.S. goods.” Dr. Pastor hints at some of his ideas for achieving these and other goals, but apparently he thinks we’re not ready to hear about his ultimate goal, a North American Union. As in … no more independent United States of America. I think a little background on Mr. Pastor is in order.
