Author Jerome Corsi and Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., will be guests tomorrow on G. Gordon Liddy's radio show to discuss the White House's effort to implement a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.
Corsi and Tancredo will join Liddy for the entire 11 a.m. hour, Eastern time, and take calls from listeners.
Corsi reported this week that Bush administration working groups have not disclosed the results of their work despite two years of massive effort within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
The groups, working under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, are to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005.
The trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration not submitted to Congress for review, led to the creation of the SPP office within the Department of Commerce.
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public."
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups nor any congressional committees taking charge of oversight.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.
I cannot believe you are now sucked into this thing and being flamed!
For the record, please do not pull that post. I have taken the moniker to heart and have made it my tagline.
You can't defend your position? So, you all run to the mods to remove the 'offensive' posts?
Let's put it this way, the mods, individually, have opinions, we can't let our views interfere with moderating. Our guidelines are the rules set out on the home page. So, we should remove every post against your position, we should ban posters who disagree with you, and we should validate your position? There are over 250,000 posters on FR, and we should take your word? And not have a give and take discussion? Ok then. LOL!
Oh, I'm not being flamed.....
You're right. Lightning beats fire.
But rock beats lightning
Plural? Are you implying that they are duplicate threads?
So, refute them, show them where they're wrong, this is FR, not a amen choir. You want to us to stifle the debate to your position, and not allow the debate. Engage the posters, don't run to the mods because you can't debate the facts.
Zot beats all.
Zot beats all.
Amen.
Wow, I've never been provoked by a mod before:)
Look, just forget I said anything.
You're not provoking me, this thread is tame is terms of flame wars, (believe me, we've seen it all) but we had a bunch of abuse reports over silly things like, 'he's picking on me', kind of stuff. Is that what FR is about?
I don't have a clue what the answer is. All I know is that making something that is already a giant mess into one that is even bigger is NOT the answer.
Go back to using the rail systems - which are already in place?
What is your position on L.O.S.T., aka the Law of the Sea Treaty?
The point is several posters joined this thread with the very specific intention of preventing anyone else from expressing an opposing POV, not by employing a reasonable argument, but with pre-emptive gratuitous abuse. They were successful.
Is this what FR is about?
I hear ya.
And who prevented you from posting your opinion, or refuting a specific post?
I agree. They intended to shut down debate through intimidation and bullying.
They were successful
I don't think they were. I think that the majority of FReepers see them for what they are.
rail you say......?
Your area is already the bottleneck. Besides that is part of what the TTC projects will do is rebuild and relocate rail. Rail capacity is one reason the truck traffic has increased so much. Got anymore suggestions?
Here's a little about Tower 55 in your area.......

The outlying freight rail corridor could help relieve congestion at Tower 55, a rail hub on the southeast edge of downtown Fort Worth where the north-south Burlington Northern Santa Fe and east-west Union Pacific tracks meet at grade to form one of the worst train choke points in the nation. ("At grade" means that the tracks intersect on the same level rather than one passing over the other.)
The congestion at Tower 55 is akin to the nightmarish auto and truck gridlock that would occur if there were a traffic stoplight at Interstates 35W and 30 in downtown Fort Worth, said Mike Sims, a COG senior program manager for transportation.
"Most rail people say [Tower 55] is the busiest rail intersection at grade west of the Mississippi," Sims said.
