North American Union: Conspiracy or Cover-Up?(Phyllis Schlafly)
townhall.com ^ | April 14, 2008 | Phyllis Schlafly

Posted on 04/14/2008 9:48:52 AM PDT by kellynla

Ever since former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton proclaimed that she and her husband were the victims of a "vast right-wing conspiracy," "conspiracy" has been the hot word used to ridicule your opponents.

When President George W. Bush wanted to avoid answering questions about whether the Security and Prosperity Partnership is the prelude to a North American Union connected by a three-country superhighway, he accused SPP critics of believing in a conspiracy.

By definition, conspiracies are usually secret. There's nothing secret about right-wingers organizing to criticize the Clintons and their goals, and there's nothing secret about plans to morph the United States into a North American Union.

The elites, however, must be feeling the heat. Following the Hudson Institute's helpful suggestion to change the name of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the fourth annual SPP meeting to be held in New Orleans on April 21 will now be called the North American Leaders Summit, and the promoters of the TransTexas Corridor are trying to change its name to "regional loop."

To see what the elites are planning, you don't have peek through keyholes or plant a spy under the table. Just read their published reports.

The words most frequently used to describe their goals are "economic integration," "labor mobility," "free movement of goods, services and people across open borders," and "harmonization" of regulations.

The Council on Foreign Relations published a major report May 17, 2005, only two months after the Security and Prosperity Partnership was announced by President Bush, then-Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005. The Council on Foreign Relations document explaining SPP's goals and methodology was posted on the U.S. State Department Web site, thereby confirming its authenticity.

The report explains that the three SPP amigos at Waco "committed their governments" to "Building a North American Community" by 2010 with a common "outer security perimeter," "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico," allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access," "totalization" of illegal immigrants into the U.S. Social Security system, and "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution."

The prestigious Center for Strategic & International Studies published a report in 2007 called "North American Future 2025 Project." It advocates "economic integration," the "free flow of people across national borders," and "policies that integrate governments."

The CSIS report even calls for "harmonizing legislation" on intellectual property rights with other countries. That's a direct attack on our U.S. patent system, which is the key to U.S. leadership in inventions and innovation.

The Hudson Institute published a 35-page white paper in 2007 called "Negotiating North America: The Security and Prosperity Partnership." It states that SPP is the vehicle "for economic integration" with Mexico and Canada and even "combines an agenda with a political commitment."

The white paper explains that SPP's "design" is for the executive branch to exercise full "authority" to "enforce and execute" whatever is decided by a three-nation agreement of "civil service professionals" as though it were "law." That means evading treaty ratification and even congressional legislation and oversight.

Don't forget the importance of the Wall Street Journal and its longtime, very influential editorial-page editor, the late Robert Bartley. When Mexico's Fox called for NAFTA to evolve into something like the European Union, Bartley wrote: "There is one voice north of the Rio Grande that supports his vision. To wit, this newspaper."

In his book "Post-Capitalist Society," influential business writer Peter F. Drucker wrote, "The economic integration of the three countries into one region is proceeding so fast that it will make little difference whether the marriage is sanctified legally or not."

When Larry King asked Fox about plans for a "Latin America united with one currency," Fox answered in the affirmative. He said that one currency was part of the "vision" of the Free Trade Area of the Americas that Bush agreed to in the Declaration of Quebec City in 2001.

So now we know why the Bush administration won't build a fence to interfere with "labor mobility" across open borders. Now we know why Bush won't pardon former Border Patrol agents Ignatio Ramos and Jose Compean, while winking at the prosecutor's deal to give immunity to a professional drug smuggler.

Now we know why Bush thumbed his nose at the overwhelming congressional votes (411-3 in the House and 75-23 in the Senate) to exclude Mexican trucks from U.S. roads. Now we know why Bush has been more persistent in pursuing "totalization" to put illegal immigrants into Social Security than to promote his proposal to privatize a small part of Social Security for U.S. citizens.

This is no conspiracy. It's all part of the "economic integration" of the North American countries that's been openly talked about for years.

“....there’s nothing secret about plans to morph the United States into a North American Union.”

Right on target.

Sadly, back during the Vietnam War years, the country ignored the Treason of Jane Fonda, John Kerry and Bill Clinton. This set the precedence for not punishing those who commit Treason. Now Treason is so accepted as a legitimate means to a political end, that it is practiced broadly and openly. The country is doomed to the fate conspired by its Globalist leaders, as it blindly walks into the obvious trap of Traitors. Sadly, the cycle of life is turning back toward a Royal order.

Talk of the NAU brings odd responses still from conservatives and Republicans. It’s also odd that, even though they took strong stands against amnesty, Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin all refused to even discuss the subject with callers and usually hung up on them fairly quickly. For those three, the NAU belonged in the kook conspiracy category and they refused to allow any real discussion of it on their programs during the amnesty debates.

Laura Ingraham would discuss it, and had the author who seems to be one of the primary believers that it is definitely in the works by our elitist betters.

And for our purist free traders her at FR, the NAU is perfectly consistent with the full free market/free trade theories that for those two to exist, we must also have the free movement of labor, as well as the free movement of capital and goods and services.

All we need now is an Asiatic Union and we have the makings of an Orwellian style world government. Nice. It makes me sick to see our sovereignty go down the crapper. It would be really nice if the American People would wake up.

Somewhere less than what you can count on one hand in the Senate, and somewhere south of 50 in the House. And I'm probably being extremely generous in my estimates.

“Sadly, the cycle of life is turning back toward a Royal order. “

_______________________________________________________________________

My FRiend, I’ve been saying that for years. It’s the only thing that explains the madness; sort of the unifying theory of AGW, immigration, one-party system, the NWO and all of it.

We’ve become nothing more that peasants in the elites’ eyes. Hope we can disabuse them of that notion, eventually...

“Sadly, the cycle of life is turning back toward a Royal order. “

Yet those who would have a "royal order" should remember that they often end badly. Just ask Charles I, Louis XVI or Nicholas II.

And those capitalists who think they can ride the new world order succesfully will probably achieve Marx's dream of uniting the workers of the world.

Mrs. Schlafly lays it out very clearly.

Someone with the time needs to do a research project about UN plans going back several decades trying to implement “regionalization,” with the goal of making world government practicable.

That’s where the roots of these current efforts lie.

"What's the happy word for the day?"

The latest word on the SPP/NAU is Obama's article published at Dallas News, just prior to the Texas primary.

He faulted the way Bush was implementing SPP and said that he would bring the unions and the enviros into setting the goals and measuring the progress. Keep in mind that the only private sector group Bush has allowed in is the NACC which is composed of business/industry that are "doing business in or with" the other two nations.

"The only thing that explains the madness." I have also been saying that for years, and I have taken a lot of flack from many folks here. It only demonstrated to me that Liberals are not the only ones who think narrow and don't visualize the impact of the sum of individual events.

Unfortunately, If history is an indicator, the deserved outcome could take centuries.

And those capitalists who think they can ride the new world order successfully will probably achieve Marx's dream of uniting the workers of the world.

And by that time the Traitors who reinstalled the Global Monarchies, would have been long since dead, having lived a long live of gaudy luxury. Just visualize a bunch of Fat Teddys plundering the people, abusing the women and eating themselves to death in a slobbery drunken stupor.

I agree that there are quite a few here who can be pretty narrow-minded when they want to be — but I also see quite a few eyes being opened. Things others scoffed at a recently as a year and a half ago are no longer being ridiculed.

The more obvious it becomes that our “betters” in politics aren’t listening to us AT ALL, the more people see what really seems to be at hand: A two-tiered society with two percent rich, and the rest of us serving them in some way.

With the upcoming Mayday marches and the Dem convention in August, some may wake up more. I’m not as certain as some that there will be widespread violence, but the potential is definitely there. It just seems that there’s this sense of danger constantly in the back of my mind lately... Spooky stuff, if you ask me.

I hope the elites continue to overplay their hand, and I hope Joe Sixpack is paying attention.

The NAU is the only way the left can do an end run around the Constitution and the bloody neo-cons are their willing helpmates so long as they can turn a quarterly profit from betraying their country. Free-Traitors is what I call them.

There may be quite a few eyes being opened, but the question is, “is it too late?” Despite the backlash against the Globalist immigration invasion of the USA, the only three Presidential candidates left standing are supporting the invaders. I think Treason has become a political tool, and that doesn’t portend well for the future.

Clearly Dr. Keyes is our best hope. But he doesn’t have the money to compete with the Globalist candidates. I fear his only impact would to split the vote for one Globalist giving it to another Globalist. That being said, I plan to vote for him with a “write in” if necessary.

” I think Treason has become a political tool, and that doesn’t portend well for the future.”

____________________________________________________________________________

And that’s why I mentioned Joe Sixpack. I, too, fear that a political solution isn’t possible any longer. We need to demonstrate like the illegals are, only on a bigger scale yet. And, yes, I also wonder if old Joe has it in him. Only time will tell whether or not there’s a point where the average american says “That’s enough!” and actually *does* something.

It then remains to be seen what the elites elect to do.

In either case, I agree that the future doesn’t look any too bright.

I will believe it, when I see the government put a bounty on Traitors. Otherwise, the elites will be sitting at the "19th hole" with Fat Teddy.
