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.
North America is vulnerable on several fronts: the region faces terrorist and criminal security threats, increased economic competition from abroad, and uneven economic development at home. In response to these challenges, a trinational, Independent Task Force on the Future of North America has developed a roadmap to promote North American security and advance the well-being of citizens of all three countries.
When the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States met in Texas recently they underscored the deep ties and shared principles of the three countries.
but proposes a more ambitious vision of a new community by 2010 and specific recommendations on how to achieve it.

I'm in Wisconsin, so I'm sure they were scoping out Minnesota.
The executive branch has the power under the constitution to negotiate treaties.
I don't believe they need authorization to perform their task.
Congress steps in when it's time to ratify the treaties.
Looks like more spending of funds not appropriated. That is against the law, Mr Presidente Bush. Yes Senator Juan McCaino approves but it is still against the law. Be careful here, the people are becoming angry.
Tom Tancredo (R-CO) (12/20/45) - Did not serve. According to Political State Report, Tancredo "avoided service in Vietnam by obtaining a medical deferment for mental health reasons." This and this link, from critics of Tancredo's views on immigration, are harsher in their descriptions.Unfortunately, the polstate report is gone and the other links are to the same author who is a feverswamp Hispanic activist. There's a better story where Tancredo confirms this:
He was alluding to some old news stories back in Colorado that could give national political writers fodder.
...
And it includes the childhood depression treatments that led to Tancredo's mental-health draft deferment during the Vietnam War.
In a restaurant in Cedar Rapids, Tancredo talked about offering to make public service announcements telling people who suffer from depression: "I know what you're experiencing with depression. You can overcome it. You can live your life."
And, the Oil Book, and a couple of others. OK, his writing style does not compare to Swift ... but he ain't no nut!
I think the thing he was calling "bunk" was that there was a large secret working group in the executive branch working to implement this. Not that there wasn't a Council on Foreign Relations who was pushing the idea.
This won't be an entertaining thread. They have already scattered from the light.
Here's some food for thought. They post that map with the highway from Mexico to Canada. Well isn't that a good thing? It's easy to monitor a single highway and if it's as efficient as people think it is, then people will be more tempted to take it than sneaking around in the desert.
Ah, why bother?
hey you know....
Maybe this people are closet Oliver Stone fans or something.
Wait a while, until the dust settles, and then spout off about Tancredo's insanity.
Wow that s pretty good blog. I am going to put it on my blogroll.
I just do not understand why people are so willing to believe that the United States is a weak country, at the mercy of some EEEvil CFR folks. More cooperation between the countries on our borders and us, will only make us stronger.
I don't think that's "bunk" either. How can we ignore the senate, their bill, the president's behavior, the fact that their answer to our demand that they stop the illegal alien problem is to create a way to bring tens of millions more people into the country?
Not to mention the president himself, calling the Minutemen "vigilantes" from his ranch in Texas, while he was conferring with the Canadian Prime Minister and Vicente Fox?
Sorry. It's not bunk. It's in the papers and in front of our eyes. We ignore it at our peril.
I just found it on a search.
Perhaps we should invite Mr. Corsi to defend himself. His account is still active.
It's a coverup.
