September 27, 2006 – The secretive 2006 North American Forum was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada on September 12-14, 2006. The forum was part of a series of secret meetings attended by political and business leaders from Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The most recent, previous secret meeting in the series was held in October 2005 in Sonoma, California.
These closed to the media and the public, North American Forums are continuations of a long-standing effort to undermine the sovereignty of the United States. The perpetrators are globalists and elitists. They can be found commiserating with each other at the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. Although they use different language to conceal their agenda, the ultimate goal is to create a super-state, with its own body of governance that will rule over the U.S. Congress, as well as state and local governments. To accomplish this objective, the perpetrators and infiltrators have meticulous worked for decades in the United States to undermine, through trickery and deception, the power of the U.S. Congress. The goal has always been to ensure the election of Presidents and / or Vice-Presidents, regardless of political party affiliation, that are members or co-conspirators of the Trilateral Commission"........
.........."On September 26, 2006 the Muckraker Report spoke with Hollen Wheeler, Department of Defense Director of Public Affairs, and confirmed that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was indeed invited and scheduled to participate in the 2006 North American Forum in Banff, Alberta, Canada on September 12-14, 2006. But according to Wheeler, Rumsfeld was unable to attend, so he sent the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, in his stead.".................
..........."General Peter Pace might not realize that he participated in a conspiratorial forum that aims to dissolve the sovereignty of the United States of America. If Pace did understand the ultimate purpose of the forum, then he has compromised his oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. He also might have violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice, behavior unbecoming of a United States Marine Corps Officer, by attending a secret meeting meant to further the process of bypassing the people’s representative government, the U.S. Congress, in order to:
· Adopt a common external tariff for the three former sovereign nations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States
· Adopt a North American approach to regulation which will supercede the U.S. Congress
· Secure the perimeters of the new union by 2010 rather than the borders between the former nations
· Steal tax dollars – taxation without representation – by establishing a North American investment fund for infrastructure and human capital
· Establish a permanent tribunal – a court system that will supercede the U.S. court system and the Supreme Court – for dispute resolution
· Hold annual summits that will bring the figure heads-of-state together for the sake of convincing the people of the former nations that their nations are still sovereign when they will be in name only. This recommendation is clear evidence that a great fraud and treasonous act against the 440 million people that live in Canada, Mexico, and the United States is well underway
· Create a non-elected, non-representative North American Advisory Council
· Create a non-elected, non-representative Inter-Parliamentary Group"
YIKES!
Oooh, since you're cutting and pasting, can you post the colorful maps?
It wouldn't be an NAU thread without the colorful maps!
The common tariff promotes a market economy and doesn't distort the overall trnsportation grid.
The North American approach to regulation/supercedes the US Congress. Supercedes regulatory takings and is already part of NAFTA and is found mainly in Chapter 11 but also some in 19. This is found in all FTAs. The left wing sees this as the rightwing conspiricy to "Roll back the New Deal". To really understand this you need to chase down Greider's 2001 article in Nation Magazine titled "The Right and US Trade Law: Invalidating the 20th Century".
Secure the perimeters by 2010. Exactly, that is why it is called North America Perimeter Security. It gives the US authority to implement security over what enters Mexico and Canada. It is also called "pushing out the border". If we can control that, we have better control over what enters the US from those two countries. Not to mention the fact that with US personel operating inside of Mexico, we will have better control over drugs and illegals. Have a look at the House border enforcement bill and you will see the language on cross border enforcement.
North American Investment Fund. This already exists, tho it is underfunded. Be aware that it also benefits those inside the US. For example: the ditches in the Rio Grande Project were converted to concrete with this money. These type of funds also exist on a world wide basis. It is an excellant way of attaching strings to foreign aid which has been a US policy since the end of the Cold War.
Establish a permenant tribunal. First you need to consider my reply above on the North American approach to regulation. Also, you have to consider how FTAs have evolved since NAFTA. Back then, it was not envisioned that the FTAs would take off like they have. This is a result of the WTO having become mired down in the inability of all 180 nations being able to come down to an agreement. Faced with that situation, nations around the world are turning to bilateral and regional FTAs to promote trade. Not just the US. Not only does this get around the WTO's inability to function, it also acts a leverage to force individual members of the WTO and blocs in the WTO back to the table. So as the FTAs proliferate, so do the dispute settlement mechanisms and you end up with many tribunals reaching decisions that have been previously made by a different tribunals. Faced with this, it was decided that there needed to be a central accumulation of decisions which would be used to set precedents and eventually estabish a body of law which all participants could use. For more on this search Investor-State Trade Agreements or Investor-State Law.
Hold annual summits. They been having these meetings all along, they just decided to have them on regular intervals.
Inter-parliamentory group. There are some fringe lefties who advocate this but it is not part of the deal. Their basis for this is legal, environmental, and social justice. While FTA participants have to tip their hat to them, the whole point of FTAs is a means of circumventing those types of regulatory law/takings.
