Quietly but systematically, the Bush Administration is advancing the plan to build a huge NAFTA Super Highway, four football-fields-wide, through the heart of the U.S. along Interstate 35, from the Mexican border at Laredo, Tex., to the Canadian border north of Duluth, Minn.
Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI” system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.
As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming “North American Union” that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are about to drive into reality.
Just examine the following websites to get a feel for the magnitude of NAFTA Super Highway planning that has been going on without any new congressional legislation directly authorizing the construction of the planned international corridor through the center of the country.
NASCO, the North America SuperCorridor Coalition Inc., is a “non-profit organization dedicated to developing the world’s first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America.” Where does that sentence say anything about the USA? Still, NASCO has received $2.5 million in earmarks from the U.S. Department of Transportation to plan the NAFTA Super Highway as a 10-lane limited-access road (five lanes in each direction) plus passenger and freight rail lines running alongside pipelines laid for oil and natural gas. One glance at the map of the NAFTA Super Highway on the front page of the NASCO website will make clear that the design is to connect Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. into one transportation system.
Kansas City SmartPort Inc. is an “investor based organization supported by the public and private sector” to create the key hub on the NAFTA Super Highway. At the Kansas City SmartPort, the containers from the Far East can be transferred to trucks going east and west, dramatically reducing the ground transportation time dropping the containers off in Los Angeles or Long Beach involves for most of the country. A brochure on the SmartPort website describes the plan in glowing terms: “For those who live in Kansas City, the idea of receiving containers nonstop from the Far East by way of Mexico may sound unlikely, but later this month that seemingly far-fetched notion will become a reality.”
The U.S. government has housed within the Department of Commerce (DOC) an “SPP office” that is dedicated to organizing the many working groups laboring within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada to create the regulatory reality for the Security and Prosperity Partnership. The SPP agreement was signed by Bush, President Vicente Fox, and then-Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Tex., on March 23, 2005. According to the DOC website, a U.S.-Mexico Joint Working Committee on Transportation Planning has finalized a plan such that “(m)ethods for detecting bottlenecks on the U.S.-Mexico border will be developed and low cost/high impact projects identified in bottleneck studies will be constructed or implemented.” The report notes that new SENTRI travel lanes on the Mexican border will be constructed this year. The border at Laredo should be reduced to an electronic speed bump for the Mexican trucks containing goods from the Far East to enter the U.S. on their way to the Kansas City SmartPort.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is overseeing the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) as the first leg of the NAFTA Super Highway. A 4,000-page environmental impact statement has already been completed and public hearings are scheduled for five weeks, beginning next month, in July 2006. The billions involved will be provided by a foreign company, Cintra Concessions de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A. of Spain. As a consequence, the TTC will be privately operated, leased to the Cintra consortium to be operated as a toll-road. The details of the NAFTA Super Highway are hidden in plan view. Still, Bush has not given speeches to bring the NAFTA Super Highway plans to the full attention of the American public. Missing in the move toward creating a North American Union is the robust public debate that preceded the decision to form the European Union. All this may be for calculated political reasons on the part of the Bush Administration.
A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.
Mr. Ericson,
We have received BOTH of your emails, and we will provide the information you requested within an appropriate time-frame. These questions have been asked adnauseam by groups like yours throughout the nine-year history of this airport, and quite frankly, they are not our highest priority right now.
All of this information has been discussed publicly over and over during the years, and you can select whatever explanation you choose to believe. I have asked out Art Director to find biographical information about the artist who painted the piece you questioned. She can also provide a fact-sheet on the piece itself. She will also provide some fact sheets about the artwork in the floor.
As for the "new world" designation, the New World Airport Commission was simply a group consisting of local business and political leaders who sponsored and organized a number of pre-opening events at Denver International Airport.
The airport was to usher in a new era making Denver a world-class city, thus the New World name. The group has absolutely no association with the new world order. And the underground facilities are just baggage tunnels that are used every day by hundreds of airline workers to take luggage to and from the Terminal. However, these explanations rarely satisfy people who love to believe in conspiracy theories and who are convinced that Denver International Airport is at the center of something sinister.
It is important to keep in mind that this airport was the largest, most scrutinized Public Works project in American history. There were cameras and reporters here documenting every single inch of dirt ever moved. If something strange was going on out here, hundreds of media outlets would have been all over it by now. I'm surprised it took you nine years to send this email.
I will get back to you with the information you requested so that you may post it to your web site. Of course, I'm betting you will probably post this as well.

That’s Canada, ain’t it?
GLOBALIST TROLL!!!
;-)
You're littering.
There ya go putting out facts again.
s/
Just ignore those little facts, those who have shingles on eyes.
I got it off NAFTA. Are there two swperate NAFTA plans? One for conservatives and the other for liberals? Point me in the direction of the conservative document.
Well, I don't know who or why they write what they do, but it's not exactly been a secret, because I've been researching it for a long time. It was secret simply because they didn't know about it. I don't think they were ever trying to hide it. It's kinda hard to build a freeway system so complex without people finding out about it. I guess when Corsi found out he thought no one else knew about it.
When you look at the entire picture, there's no way it won't affect our sovereignty. Bush's role in this has been getting the other trade agreements signed and he's done that, and erasing the borders, and he's working on that. The NGO's and the CFR members have been meeting for years to plan our future. If I'm going to fault Bush for something, it's going to be what he's done, or won't do, but no one can lay all of this on him because it's not all his fault. IF you read down on the first link I gave you, it says something in 1995. We know who was President at that time.
Agreed; the evidence is much more than the elephant standing in the room. But they're only concerned about popcorn. They obviously do agree with what is happening, but only party partisans would.
He who laughs last laughs best.
..."And it's all a Bush secret?"
Now I ask you. Does it matter one twit whether or not Bush would prefer that msAmerica doesn't know about all this?
Are you Bushbots so enamored of your hero that you refuse to see facts?

Now you're just lying. It's a Public Citizen article off of their site.
Please. Don't pretend you got it from NAFTA. That won't fool anyone.
This whole BS North American Union crap.
Agreed. And is it buttered. :-) They have chosen party over country it would seem.
By the way excellent post # 263. WOW
Freepercide is painless.
Hilarious when a FReeper steps in it . . . .
I can't stop laughing!
Doesn't this remind you of that whole Denver Airport New World Order BS? Same stupid conspiracy, different venue.
