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.

Oh BTW, Marcy Kaptur is and has always been a spokeswoman for organized labor. Her interest in adjusting NAFTA is to increase the power of the labor unions. Her district is in Toledo which has always been a city that makes its living supplying auto parts to Detroit and building jeeps.
I-69 however does detour west and north around Toledo and Detroit to end at Port Huron near the Canadian border. I'm sure you can prove something from that fact.

I have seen some crazy, off-the-wall conspiracy theories in my day, but this NAU one takes the cake.
It just goes to show us all that when water is tossed on an electrical panel all kinds of short circuits are created along with a lot of sparks, smoke, noise, and bright blue tongues of flame followed by total darkness.
LOL
and all the misfiring is their lame attempts at reconnecting LOL
I'd ping Common Tator to this thread but he's much too sane for it.
LOL
oh boy....fun fun :)
My favorite post is the one that has a map with all of the existing interstate highways highlighted that run to and from Kansas City and include highways in Mexico and Canada.
I've heard a rumor that our phone lines are also connected.
HEY .. I just figured out what WND stands for ... WEAPONS OF NEURON DESTRUCTION.
LOL
I don't know...
I think these people have been hit by too many contrails or something LOL
It doesn't matter. They're just spamming the thread now to try to make it unreadable.
Yeah they have the same map over at DU where Hedgetrimmer hangs out

Contrails from Wright-Patterson AFB in Toledo. That's in Marcy's district too.
It's gotta be....
I mean, don't tell them that they are connected via the internet to Mexico....
It might flip them all out....
BTW, hi there to all you freaks at Misery Post!!!
Thanks again for the valuble info.
I went back and checked out Mr. Pommen's resources, and
looked very impressive. He summed it up in the last chapter
of not realizing currency change until 2013, that not
to far off from the CFR's 2010 date.
I wouldn't know about DU having never been there.
It sounds like a cesspool and I don't believe one can wade through a cesspool and come out clean.
Late last August though I did attend an international conference in Mexico City which not only had Americans and Mexicans but Canadians, Brazilians, Argentinians and Germans. Did you know they have flights from Mexico City to Atlanta? Flew right over NOLA after Katrina and everything.
Somehow our Aeromexico plane evaded the F-16s patrolling over the gulf. Bush's fault!
North American Competitiveness Council Promotes Regional Growth
Regional officials also review progress on Security and Prosperity Partnership
Washington -- U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, Mexican Economy Minister Sergio Garcia de Alba and Canadian Minister of Industry Maxime Bernier joined North American business leaders to launch the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) June 15 in Washington.
In March, U.S. President Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Vicente Fox announced the creation of the NACC as part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) initiative. The NACC officially was launched June 15 and will be made up of 10 high-level business leaders from each country, who will meet annually with senior North American government officials to provide recommendations and help set priorities for promoting regional competitiveness in the global economy.
At the NACC launch, Gutierrez welcomed the contributions of the North American private sector.
“Today is a continuation of President Bush’s strong commitment to our North American partners to focus on North America’s security and prosperity,” he said. “The private sector is the driving force behind innovation and growth, and the private sector’s involvement in the SPP is key to enhancing North America’s competitive position in global markets.”
In a June 15 interview with the Washington File, Luis Pinto, executive director of the North American Business Committee at the Council of the Americas and participant in the U.S. Council of the NACC, echoed Gutierrez on the important role of the region’s business community.
“Success in the 21st century demands regional strategies,” Pinto said, “The leaders understand that the role of government is to create the environment for success, but the private sector is the engine of growth.”
Pinto added that as part of the secretariat of the U.S. section of the NACC, the Council of the Americas looks forward to working with representatives from the private and public sectors of Canada and Mexico to advance the SPP agenda.
At the NACC launch, North American government officials and business leaders committed to work together more closely to advance regional competitiveness. The Washington meeting of Gutierrez, Garcia de Alba and Bernier -- the SPP prosperity ministers -- also provided the officials with an opportunity to reflect on progress in expanding prosperity since the establishment of SPP in 2005. (See related article.)
Among the accomplishments was the first convocation of officials from the regulatory, trade and oversight agencies from the three North American countries to identify a core set of elements for a Regulatory Cooperation Framework. Other progress included the ongoing liberalization of rules of origin, which helps reduce cost and facilitate cross-border trade and the establishment of a North American task force to combat counterfeiting and piracy, according to a Department of Commerce press release.
While the SPP ministers reflected on these accomplishments, SPP security ministers --Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Canadian Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day and Mexican Secretary of Government Carlos Abascal -- also are taking stock of progress on the security component of the SPP and will release a report in July.
In the fall, the SPP ministers will hold a meeting with the NACC to discuss priorities, update work plans and consider new initiatives, according to the Commerce Department.
For more information, see Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.
A press release on SPP accomplishments is available on the Department of Commerce Web site.
