The Plan to Replace the Dollar With the 'Amero'

by Jerome R. Corsi Posted May 22, 2006

The idea to form the North American Union as a super-NAFTA knitting together Canada, the United States and Mexico into a super-regional political and economic entity was a key agreement resulting from the March 2005 meeting held at Baylor University in Waco, Tex., between President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin.

A joint statement published by the three presidents following their Baylor University summit announced the formation of an initial entity called, “The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The joint statement termed the SPP a “trilateral partnership” that was aimed at producing a North American security plan as well as providing free market movement of people, capital, and trade across the borders between the three NAFTA partners:

We will establish a common approach to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline the secure and efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic across our borders.

A working agenda was established:

We will establish working parties led by our ministers and secretaries that will consult with stakeholders in our respective countries. These working parties will respond to the priorities of our people and our businesses, and will set specific, measurable, and achievable goals.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has produced a SPP website, which documents how the U.S. has implemented the SPP directive into an extensive working agenda.

Following the March 2005 meeting in Waco, Tex., the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) published in May 2005 a task force report titled “Building a North American Community.” We have already documented that this CFR task force report calls for a plan to create by 2010 a redefinition of boundaries such that the primary immigration control will be around the three countries of the North American Union, not between the three countries. We have argued that a likely reason President Bush has not secured our border with Mexico is that the administration is pushing for the establishment of the North American Union.

The North American Union is envisioned to create a super-regional political authority that could override the sovereignty of the United States on immigration policy and trade issues. In his June 2005 testimony to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Pastor, the Director of the Center for North American Studies at American University, stated clearly the view that the North American Union would need a super-regional governance board to make sure the United States does not dominate the proposed North American Union once it is formed:

NAFTA has failed to create a partnership because North American governments have not changed the way they deal with one another. Dual bilateralism, driven by U.S. power, continue to govern and irritate. Adding a third party to bilateral disputes vastly increases the chance that rules, not power, will resolve problems.

This trilateral approach should be institutionalized in a new North American Advisory Council. Unlike the sprawling and intrusive European Commission, the Commission or Council should be lean, independent, and advisory, composed of 15 distinguished individuals, 5 from each nation. Its principal purpose should be to prepare a North American agenda for leaders to consider at biannual summits and to monitor the implementation of the resulting agreements.

Pastor was a vice chairman of the CFR task force that produced the report “Building a North American Union.”

Pastor also proposed the creation of a Permanent Tribunal on Trade and Investment with the view that “a permanent court would permit the accumulation of precedent and lay the groundwork for North American business law.” The intent is for this North American Union Tribunal would have supremacy over the U.S. Supreme Court on issues affecting the North American Union, to prevent U.S. power from “irritating” and retarding the progress of uniting Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. into a new 21st century super-regional governing body.

Robert Pastor also advises the creation of a North American Parliamentary Group to make sure the U.S. Congress does not impede progress in the envisioned North American Union. He has also called for the creation of a North American Customs and Immigration Service which would have authority over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department of Homeland Security.

Pastor’s 2001 book “Toward a North American Community” called for the creation of a North American Union that would perfect the defects Pastor believes limit the progress of the European Union. Much of Pastor’s thinking appears aimed at limiting the power and sovereignty of the United States as we enter this new super-regional entity. Pastor has also called for the creation of a new currency which he has coined the “Amero,” a currency that is proposed to replace the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican peso.

If President Bush had run openly in 2004 on the proposition that a prime objective of his second term was to form the North American Union and to supplant the dollar with the “Amero,” we doubt very much that President Bush would have carried Ohio, let alone half of the Red State majority he needed to win re-election. Pursuing any plan that would legalize the conservatively estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States could well spell election disaster for the Republican Party in 2006, especially for the House of Representative where every seat is up for grabs.

If true, this would mean that "we the people" (reads serfs) would have had the known traitor John Effin Kerry as POTUS.

As it is we got one worlder, and Kerry lite, George W. Bush.

The critical problem with that teory is that we all knew GWB's stance on immigration and particularly on mexico.

This is the core of the 'third party'/'better than any dem'/'support your party' debate that goes on and on and on in FR.

Sure, support the party and don't vote dem;
But when 'your party' stops supporting you...?

Change the voting laws to Instant Runoff Voting. At best you get a decent candidate elected. At worst you get the same RINO.

Contrast with today where if the conservative base is offended: at best they can vote for the same RINO, at worst they can not vote or vote for a 'Rat.

Contact these people and don't let up. Send this onto everyone you know - American Citizens should revolt over the bill (s) before our elected, the No Illegal Left Behind bills - American Citizens have recieved the ultimate slap in the face with this lawless Congress and Senate.The President said he was against amnisty. It is McCain, Kennedy, Spector, Finegold, Reid, etc. who are pushing this Politically Correct insanity.

NO TO AMNESTY; NO TO SOCIAL SECURITY; NO TO WELFARE FOR IMMIGRANTS!

(MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIARY)

contact every one of these people - hammer them about identity theft of Social Security numbers and demand they DEPORT these felons at once. Illegal aliens DO NOT HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER – THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS – TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT HOUSE, FEED AND CLOTH THEM – OUR PRISIONS ARE FULL OF ILLEGAL ALIENS TODAY – WE DON’T WANT MORE. CALL YOU GOVERNORS AND TELL THEM THE SAME.

THE BALL IS IN OUR COURT SO MAKE OUR ELECTED LISTEN OR JUST DON'T PAY YOUR SHARE ANYMORE - IT'S LAWLESS TIME ANYWAY!------OR SO IT WOULD SEEM.........

THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN! YOU'VE SLAPPED US IN THE FACE ONCE AGAIN.

Thats all well and good but the gorilla in the jungle is this.. Mexicans can come here at will as can Canadians.. but Americans CANNOT immigrate or even own property easily in Canada or Mexico..

Ugh OH!.. its a ALL A ONE WAY STREET.. America is being LOOTED... BURGLED... and Economically Strip Mined..

And Americans have no more sense than Scooby DOO.. if this continues, then WE DESERVE IT.. Could Americans generally have been brain washed into being Globalists.. The elected federal politician that is for absolute National Soverignty is becoming more and more RARE.. And, WE, you know, ELECT THEM..

March 23, 2005. The day the US died.

Also we might have Fox as an official Homeland Security advisor. I wonder if that privelege will extend to his probable Communist successor?

Statement of Robert Pastor supporting John Kerry for President

I read the www.spp.gov website. I don't follow Corsi's logic on this one, nor the fear tactic of a looming currency change into one "Amero".

Ain't gonna happen.

For max impact, write a letter to your Congressman and deliver it to his/her district office, if possible.

Even expressing your views to a junior staffer carries huge impact.

The White House, aided by MSM, will be brutal in applying pressure and we can't just sit back this time. Once the harm is done (citizenship etc.) it can't be corrected later.

Yep. We were "had" by NAFTA and by the last amnesty, but we're NOT falling for it this time...

Republicans might want to believe they can treat us like Democrats treat the blacks, but they're wrong. We'll systematically go after and vote out each turncoat - and without electing a democrat in the process. It can be done.

You're right. And does President Bush go to Mexico telling their people to change their law on our behalf the way President Fox does to us? No chance of that.
