Author Jerome Corsi filed a Freedom of Information Act request yesterday asking for full disclosure of the activities of an office implementing a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that apparently could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.
Corsi specifically has requested the partnership's membership lists, constitutive documents, meeting minutes, meeting agendas and meeting schedules as well as all findings, reports, presentations or memoranda.
He also wants all comments to representatives of the "Prosperity Working Groups" or other working groups, committees or task forces associated with the partnership along with internal and external interagency or intra-agency memoranda of understanding, letters of intent, agreements, initiatives and budgeting documents.
The purpose of the FOIA, he said, is to get the "full facts exposed in the light of day, available for the American people and for Congress to examine and decide."
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of the SPP office.
Don't you just love this "nuke-Corsi" crowd? What's funniest is that the guy they love the most, George W. Bush, would have had to vacate the Oval Office over a year ago if it wasn't for Jerry Corsi.
Of course, the WH disavowed him.
You see, with them, "loyalty" is a one-way street.
You've got it all covered in one paragraph.
Our government "of, by and for the people" has morphed into a stealth government of, by and for the select elite, who are bypassing the Constitution and popular consensus. Hell, how can you get a popular consensus when the people are kept ignorant of the policies that are being adopted? - policies that destroy our liberties and national sovereignty. The traitors in the highest echelons of our government now far outnumber the "public servants."
Exactly. That some wish to mock the messenger (and almost in all cases, the same who refuse to actually read the documents....making pronouncements without reading directly from the sources quoted) will be not only to their own detriment, but the sovereignty of our country as well.
I agree with your statement. And for the first time in my life I believe the situation is hopeless. The government is corrupt and disloyal to the Constitution, and the people are uninformed. They've been distracted by "bread and circuses" for so long that they don't have the interest the learn the truth, and even if they were told it they wouldn't care enough to do anything to change it. Our best days are behind us.
Quite possibly true. But, I will still "fight the good fight" till the bitter end.
This was on Lou Dobbs show last night.
BILL TUCKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America sounds benign, hardly like a policy that critics call NAFTA on steroids. It's a deal that few have even heard of.
REP. MARCY KAPTUR (D), OHIO: It's being done, again, by very few people at the very top, on behalf of the investment class. But the working class of people, political officials across our country from communities, from cities and so forth, they don't know anything about this.
TUCKER: Yet, it was agreed to by Mexico's President Fox, Canada's Prime Minister Martin, and President Bush in 2005.
The administration officials counter their critics by saying everything about SPP is on the White House Web site. And they say the partnership is not a treaty, but more of an outline of priorities between the United States, Mexico and Canada. Still, some wonder why there haven't been public discussions about the goals being pursued. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This SPP includes, for instance, a committee that is sitting down to harmonize our meat inspection and food safety. So, how far away from a trade agreement can your dining room table and what you feed your kids be?
TUCKER: Other parts of the agreement mention border security as an issue, which include all of North America. In fact, the name of the agreement is not Security and Prosperity of the United States, but of North America.
PETER MORICI, PROFESSOR OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND: When we elect officials, we expect them to act on our behalf. When we get involved in cooperative frameworks with other countries for joint regulation of fisheries or rail transportation or the skies, we're basically sharing our sovereignty with that government and outsourcing some of what we give our elected officials.
TUCKER: As disturbing as some find SPP, there is legislation in the House introduced by Florida's Katherine Harris that closely resembles the goals of the partnership.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
TUCKER: Included in that bill is a section which calls for the securing of Mexico's southern border by the United States and Canada.
Lou, that's not the border with the United States. That's the border they share with Belize and Guatemala.
DOBBS: The idea that the White House would respond that this is on their Web site, this involves intricate workings amongst the Commerce Department of this country and Canada and Mexico's, of course.
A regional prosperity and security program? This is absolute ignorance. And the fact that we are -- we reported this, we should point out, when it was signed. But, as we watch this thing progress, these working groups are continuing. They're intensifying. What in the world are these people thinking about?
TUCKER: Well, they say, look, these are a declaration and an outline of our priorities.
And when I called them today, Lou, they said I was the first phone call they had received literally since the deal was first signed. So, people are not paying attention. And they're letting them, in fact, get away with this.
DOBBS: You know, I was asked the other day about whether or not I really thought the American people had the stomach to stand up and stop this nonsense, this direction from a group of elites, an absolute contravention of our law, of our Constitution, every national value.
And I hope, I pray that I'm right when I said yes. But this is -- I mean, this is beyond belief.
Bill Tucker, thank you very much.
It brings us to the subject of our poll tonight: Do you think maybe somebody should take a vote if we're going to merge the United States with Canada and Mexico, maybe, you know, people like you and me vote? Yes or no. Please cast your vote at LouDobbs.com. We will have the results here later in the broadcast.
Thanks
Why would people be paying attention to this? It's either buried or those sounding the trumpet are called paranoid. Why, even this thread's been moved to chat.
Excellent, valid, and alarming point!
Merely an inadvertent glitch, I'm sure....
Yeah. Right. That's the ticket!
: )
I tried to find a relevant thread that was in News/Activism. I just didn't think it appropriate for the Angelina threads on the News/Activism so I waited a day.
Good job posting on a relevant thread!
What do you believe we can "do" at the town meeting level? The average American has so little power these days compared to the mass media and the money-movers who work behind the scenes in politics that it would take decades for us to even begin to wield any power. And more and more modern laws actually even prevent power in the hands of the individual citizen.
The halls of power are more and more corrupt and more and more out of the reach of the average citizen.
I'm glad you posted this.
Globalist one world government ping!
