Documents disclose 'shadow government' Indicate U.S. far advanced in constructing bureaucracy united with Mexico, Canada
Government documents released by a Freedom of Information Act request reveal the Bush administration is running a "shadow government" with Mexico and Canada in which the U.S. is crafting a broad range of policy in conjunction with its neighbors to the north and south, asserts WND columnist and author Jerome R. Corsi.
The documents, a total of about 1,000 pages, are among the first to be released to Corsi through his FOIA request to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP, which describes itself as an initiative "to increase security and to enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation."
"The documents clearly reveal that SPP, working within the U.S. Department of Commerce, is far advanced in putting together a new regional infrastructure, creating a 'shadow' trilateral bureaucracy with Mexico and Canada that is aggressively rewriting a wide range of U.S. administrative law, all without congressional oversight or public disclosure," Corsi said.
Among the initial discoveries, said Corsi, is the existence of an internal Intranet website that never has been revealed to Congress or the public.
"This private internal website," he claims, "undoubtedly contains a wealth of documentation that the FOIA request has so far intentionally excluded."
Corsi told WND the documents reveal hundreds of internal meetings, memoranda of understanding and other referenced agreements that have not been disclosed.
"We have here the beginnings of a whitewash," he said, "in which SPP evidently thinks the public will be hoodwinked by a 'Myths vs. Facts' document posted for public relations purposes on their public website."
Among the documents is an organizational chart accompanied by a listing of trilateral Mexican, Canadian and U.S. administrative officers who report on multiple cabinet level "working groups."

Foreman to emperor...
Foreman to emperor....
Our shadow government should be shadow hiring people now to built roads, don't you think?
LOL
If the Democrats are planning on impeaching our President, this may be a very good reason to do so.
They are.
Nope.
I'm the Foreman of the NAU. AmishDude is the Emperor.
He hasn't authorized hirings yet.
LOL
WND. Nothing else needs to be said.
The Department of Commerce has NO BUSINESS planning and coordinating, er, commerce between the U.S. and its neighbors to the north and south! Why, only a beneficial coordination of economies could be the result!
Whatta crock.
If you are skeptical, then listen.
You may scoff at all this, but it's right around the corner it seems.
The 1998 federal transportation act - Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (TEA-21) - established the Coordinated
Border Infrastructure (CBI) Discretionary Program to fund border
infrastructure projects. Agencies with eligible projects
applied directly to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
for funding.
Under the current federal transportation act - Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) - the CBI has been revised and is
now a formula-driven funding program that provides funding to
the states bordering Canada and Mexico for projects that
"improve the safe movement of motor vehicles at or across the
land border." Federal funding generally covers 80% of projects
costs, subject to a sliding scale adjustment. The state is
required to provide a match from non-federal sources to fund the
remaining costs of the project. Eligible projects must be
located within 100 miles of the border. Four counties in
California are located within these boundaries: Imperial,
Orange, Riverside, and San Diego.
You missed the baseboard.
Will these conspiracies EVer stop?
LOL
skeptical hell, this has absolutely NO basis in fact nor reality.
Skeptical is WAY too firm for what I think of it.
nEVer
ROTFLMAO!
Missing something...maybe pennies.
As The Sundance Kid always said, "You keep thinkin', Butch, that's what you're good at."
