North American Union Already Starting to Replace USA * 1
    #7091442 - 06/25/07 04:21 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

by Jerome R. Corsi (More by this author)

In March 2005 at their summit meeting in Waco, Tex., President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin issued a joint statement announced the creation of the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The creation of this new agreement was never submitted to Congress for debate and decision. Instead, the U.S. Department of Commerce merely created a new division under the same title to implement working groups to advance a North American Union working agenda in a wide range of areas, including: manufactured goods, movement of goods, energy, environment, e-commerce, financial services, business facilitation, food and agriculture, transportation, and health.

SPP is headed by three top cabinet level officers of each country. Representing the United States are Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Representing Mexico are Secretario de Economía Fernando Canales, Secretario de Gobernación Carlos Abascal, and Secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, Luis Ernesto Derbéz. Representing Canada are Minister of Industry David L. Emerson, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety, Anne McLellan, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Pierre Stewart Pettigrew.

Reporting in June 2005 to the heads of state of the three countries, the trilateral SPP emphasized the extensive working group structure that had been established to pursue an ambitious agenda:

In carrying out your instructions, we established working groups under both agendas of the Partnership – Security and Prosperity. We held roundtables with stakeholders, meetings with business groups and briefing sessions with Legislatures, as well as with other relevant political jurisdictions. The result is a detailed series of actions and recommendations designed to increase the competitiveness of North America and the security of our people.

This is not a theoretical exercise being prepared so it can be submitted for review. Instead, SPP is producing an action agreement to be implemented directly by regulations, without any envisioned direct Congressional oversight.

Upon your review and approval, we will once again meet with stakeholders and work with them to implement the workplans that we have developed.

And again, the June 2005 SPP report stresses:

The success of our efforts will be defined less by the contents of the work plans than by the actual implementation of initiatives and strategies that will make North America more prosperous and more secure.

Reviewing the specific working agenda initiatives, the goal to implement directly is apparent. Nearly every work plan is characterized by action steps described variously as “our three countries signed a Framework of Common Principles …” or “we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding …,” or “we have signed a declaration of intent …” etc. Once again, none of the 30 or so working agendas makes any mention of submitting decisions to the U.S. Congress for review and approval. No new U.S. laws are contemplated for the Bush administration to submit to Congress. Instead, the plan is obviously to knit together the North American Union completely under the radar, through a process of regulations and directives issued by various U.S. government agencies.

What we have here is an executive branch plan being implemented by the Bush administration to construct a new super-regional structure completely by fiat. Yet, we can find no single speech in which President Bush has ever openly expressed to the American people his intention to create a North American Union by evolving NAFTA into this NAFTA-Plus as a first, implementing step.

Anyone who has wondered why President Bush has not bothered to secure our borders is advised to spend some time examining the SPP working groups’ agenda. In every area of activity, the SPP agenda stresses free and open movement of people, trade, and capital within the North American Union. Once the SPP agenda is implemented with appropriate departmental regulations, there will be no area of immigration policy, trade rules, environmental regulations, capital flows, public health, plus dozens of other key policy areas countries that the U.S. government will be able to decide alone, or without first consulting with some appropriate North American Union regulatory body. At best, our border with Mexico will become a speed bump, largely erased, with little remaining to restrict the essentially free movement of people, trade, and capital.

Canada has established an SPP working group within their Foreign Affairs department. Mexico has placed the SPP within the office of the Secretaria de Economia and created and extensive website for the Alianza Para La Securidad y La Prosperidad de Améica del Norte (ASPAN). On this Mexican website, ASPAN is described as “a permanent, tri-lateral process to create a major integration of North America.”

The extensive working group activity being implemented right now by the government of Mexico, Canada, and the United States is consistent with the blueprint laid out in the May 2005 report of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), titled “Building a North American Community.”

The Task Force’s central recommendation is the establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter. (page xvii)

The only borders or tariffs which would remain would be those around the continent, not those between the countries within:

Its (the North American Community’s) boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America. (page 3)

What will happen to the sovereignty of the United States? The model is the European Community. While the United States would supposedly remain as a country, many of our nation-state prerogatives would ultimately be superseded by the authority of a North American court and parliamentary body, just as the U.S. dollar would have to be surrendered for the “Amero,” the envisioned surviving currency of the North American Union. The CFR report left no doubt that the North American Union was intended to evolve through a series of regulatory decisions:

While each country must retain its right to impose and maintain unique regulations consonant with its national priorities and income level, the three countries should make a concerted effort to encourage regulatory convergence.

The three leaders highlighted the importance of addressing this issue at their March 2005 summit in Texas. The Security and Prosperity Partnership for North America they signed recognizes the need for a stronger focus on building the economic strength of the continent in addition to ensuring its security. To this end, it emphasizes regulatory issues. Officials in all three countries have formed a series of working groups under designated lead cabinet ministers. These working groups have been ordered to produce an action plan for approval by the leaders within ninety days, by late June 2005, and to report regularly thereafter. (pages 23-24)

Again, the CFR report says nothing about reporting to Congress or to the American people. What we have underway here with the SPP could arguably be termed a bureaucratic coup d’etat. If that is not the intent, then President Bush should rein in the bureaucracy until the American people have been fully informed of the true nature of our government’s desire to create a North American Union. Otherwise, the North American Union will become a reality in 2010 as planned. Right now, the only check or balance being exercised is arguably Congressional oversight of the executive bureaucracy, even though Congress itself might not fully appreciate what is happening.

Seems like a trade agreement more so than a merging of North America.  Even still, it's not a treaty.  This story seems grossly inflated for 'good' news. 

Granted, foul play isn't out of Bush's reach. 

I'm skeptical of pretty much anything you post.  It always seems to be pushing some radical conspiracy.  :shrug:

How's africa?

The only negative about this story is Bush's approach. Isn't what we're pursuing a free world rather than a free country, this may be the first step, a free continent. It just sucks that Bush had to make such a major agreement without any input from the people, which what democracy is all about. We just need to watch a little closer and make sure Bush doesn't impose job placement at birth.

I don't want a "free and open world". I want fair trade, and good conditions for workers, and my environment.

The business class wants a "free world". The freedom to do what they please.

Your argument has one major flaw. And it's one word.....

Sovereignty.
I love it, and I plan to keep as much of it as I can. We've already given up far too much.

If they're only harmonizing agreements that have already been established under NAFTA, then it's legit. Why get approval from congress for something that already exists? Encouraging our neighboring countries to work together, under NAFTA, is nothing more than greasing gears for smoother trade... a more efficient NAFTA.

If what was agreed on does fall under NAFTA, the only involvement from congress would be to change NAFTA policy placing restrictions on how we trade with our neighbors.

It's far more the "greasing the gears", try the loss of soverignty, and deeper rule by big business.

And Nafta fucking sucks. Period. Follow the history and the facts. Seriously, it's not hippie-speech to say the rich are fucking you.

I don't ever want to be part of America. We are far to intigrated already.... we can't even discuss changing our drug laws without threats from the south.

Besides, you guys are in for major economic decline. Notice the fact the Canadian government is quietly setting up new markets and investments in other countries.

You were warned. Watch out for the hyperinflation. It's coming...

This isn't going to happen. There's no way two countries (Canada and Mexico) are just going to agree to merge with another country.

Not only that, but the US citizens sure as fuck won't stand for this.

Overall, Lou Dobbs is a fear-mongerer and this is a load of BS that will never happen.

"Prosperity" is how they will try and sell the idea. It's a common trick.

I don't believe it will happen either Redstorm, but that's because I believe people will stand up against the more outrageous parts of the plan.


Then again, I also thought people would stand up against all the horrible shit in Nafta, and they did..... it's just that nothing really changed.

Prosperity is what increased commerce brings. NAFTA increases commerce. The whole North American Union crap is just that, crap.

NAFTA isn't great, but that's because it's not truly free trade. If it was, I would support it.
