This is Part I of a three-part series.
No one in their right mind would consider Jerome Corsi a liberal or a leftist. Corsi received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972 and has written many books and articles, including co-authoring with John O'Neill the No. 1 New York Times best seller "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry."
The 2004 book was a defining character study of presidential candidate John Kerry. "Unfit for Command" may have been the single biggest reason John Kerry is not president today and George W. Bush is. He is also author of "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians."
Corsi is not a conspiracy nut, and he does his homework on the various issues he tackles. I suggest that the American people of all political orientation give full attention to a major event that frames immigration policy, the Dubai Ports deal and badly negotiated trade deals, as well as the sellout of American interests by our favorite politicians of both parties - and no party.
Corsi and Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilcrist wrote the book "Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders." The book is a timely investigation into how our nation's southern border is disintegrating into violence and chaos, human smuggling, drug running and incursions by Mexican military and police into U.S. territory.
Researching and writing the book forced him to ask some hard questions about the WHY of our porous border and the ultimate goal of those who are allowing it to remain a national disgrace of lawlessness and corruption.
In any event, I decided to interview Dr. Corsi after reading an article he wrote for Human Events Online: "President Quietly Creating 'NAFTA Plus'." [ http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=15059 ]
His responses to my questions were astounding.
During the interview, Dr. Corsi told me that everyone is asking the obvious question about open borders. Why is the Bush administration failing to deal with them in any effective manner except to propose "guest worker amnesty." But most people don't pursue the answer to that question, perhaps because their instincts tell them they will not like the TRUE answer. As a conservative who supported the Bush administration in the past, Corsi found the answer difficult to take.
His conclusions and answer to the question of why nothing of any consequence is being done about our porous borders is startling and disturbing: "We are close to a coup d'état by the executive branch. What I have come across in my investigation reminds me of the plot in the blockbuster '60s book 'Seven Days in May' ... having to do with a military coup plot against civilian government. The conclusions I arrive at seem more in line with some fantastic plot line of the TV series '24'."
Corsi related to me that the most recent coup attempt against our nation, system and sovereignty is not being conducted by the U.S. military. Rather, it is being achieved through men who place commerce and commercial interests at the top of what mankind is about. It is very Hegelian and Marxist, at its center encompassing a belief that people are primarily motivated by economics and materialism, that trade and commerce and having material goods are the primary factors in creating a peaceful world. The policymakers who hold those attitudes have had immense influence on George W. Bush.
Immigration, open borders, trade deals, all of it is part and parcel of an attempt to create a North American Union. In its present form it is known as The Security and Prosperity Partnership signed by the "three amigos," Bush, Fox and Canada's Paul Martin at Waco, Texas, in 2005.
The idea for the North American Union has been floated for a couple of decades. It went into hyperdrive after the Cold War. At that time, powerful groups including the guiding lights in the Council on Foreign Relation, government, business and the denizens of the Beltway's Iron Triangle came into their own. Last year's report by a CFR task force entitled "Building a North American Community" is the outline for the North American Union, which they would like to have up and running by 2010.
The task force is quite clear that one of the major goals of this effort is to remake boundaries around the three North American nations. Individual countries will relate to a supranational parliamentary or governing system rather than to their own. National governments will still have limited power but not so much sovereignty. Immigration, in their ultimate plan, will mean open borders and a vastly diminished importance of citizenship in the three nations.
This is simply a new brand of old feudalism being set into motion by none other than the hero of so many Republicans, George W. Bush.
Read Part II, North American Union: Coup d'état American Style.
Really? Why, because I actually think about things instead of having the kneejerk, follow the crowd reaction that has become so prevelant in FR these days?
I’ve read so much about this I barely skimmed it. Sorry, I’ll go back and do a better job.
OK. And the bad points are?
What, you’re pro North American Union?
Keep thinking then... cause you're no where near to reality.
I read the article and it seems to make a lot of sense. Its exactly like I said, would protect out borders, easier to keep out terrorists, etc. If it is exactly as written, what is wrong with the concept? And no, I am not pro NAU. I just recognize that we live in a changing world and probably need to do something different so we can be better equipped to compete with the rest of the world. If I had my druthers, America would stay the same as it always has. But I think everyone knows its not going to. Whats wrong with being prepared? Mexico has oil and Canada has huge amounts of timber and land. America is rich but crowded. Canada has a conservative leader and I assumed Mexico had elected a conservative, too. Well at least a moderate.
There are already plans for a currency of the Americas.
Americans will gleefully move their portfolios to the Amero once it is setup as a strong alternative on the world market against the artificially devalued dollar.
The Feds will have us transfer to the Amero without forcing us to do so. They will lay out an alternative to the dollar in an attempt to preserve the value of investments.
Here’s the whoel thing about the SPP and teh NAU.
If we return to a Constitutional model of governing this nation, we don’t need anything like this. We don’t need to sell our sovereignty and our strength for security or money.
The problem exists because our politicians refuse to fight this war to win it, like they did in WWII.
The President refuses to execute the existing laws according to Article II Section 3 of the United States Constitution— i.e. “...he shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed...”
They refuse to put the American people first instead of viewing the world through some guilt ridden globalist agenda, as we saw this week at the G8.
We don’t need this NAU. We need to get back to being Americans first.
The great danger in any sort of North America union is who or what would run it.
The answer we find is that groups of unelected bureaucrats would be in charge. This, in itself, is a repudiation of our republican representative form of govrenment. In fact, it’s the establishment of a soviet socialist style of government where unelcted bureaucrats rule by writing law, enforcing the law and judging that law.
Two recent examples of this form of government include the former soviet socialist states and the functionairies who ran fascist Germany.
Once bureaucracies are established, citizens lose the right to govern themselves through elected representatives. In essence, a dictatorship has been established. And how do citizens remove corrupt bureaucrats who are engaged in theft, chicanery and gross violations of individual rights?
The answer is 1776 - a declaration of war against the ruling, unaccountable elite.
Any North American union binding the citizens to control by an unelected elite is sowing the seeds for a future revolutionary war. Those who are in favor of unelected regional councils governing us are, if Americans, traitors, and the rest are oligarchs looking for power to enrich themselves.

Read this post too. He makes some excellent points about the reality of life under the NAU.
Well I can’t argue with you there. But you and I both know they won’t. Bush is too afraid of the liberals, and he may have a point because they are viscious and he can’t get a whole lot done. You saw how they acted when there was even a suggestion that we might have to take on Iran. They will simply push through impeachment. I think he is looking for a solution to the delima America faces.
ping for later reading
I hope they do impeach him. I’d also liek to recall Sen. Martinez.
Bush is ignoring his Constitutional obligations by not executing the existing laws. He took an oath. He’s violating it before God.
Your post should answer the questions for those that love Bush, more than they love this Republic.
Thank you for your post.
As an Aussie, you have been privy to extremely stringent immigration control.
Look at it this way: What if your borders were open to everyone within your proximity, i.e., all those from every Asian state and South Africa with no control over who enters.
Do you think your economy would survive? Do you think your natural resources and living spaces would survive not to mention the infrastructure of schools, courts, police and every day services like roads and garbage pickup?
Not likely. Even with our resources, we cannot absorb another 500 million people to the 300+ million we have here now.
I’m sure the powers that be have plans in place. I don’t know how they plan to handle several million disgruntled armed citizens.
Is there a good workable plan that can be implemented to get us out of this mess? I mean one that they will actually do. I have read thread after thread about what needs to be done but no clue as to how to get them to actually do it. Lots of bellyaching but no ideas as to how to get it done. I think even the dumbest person in FR (and that would probably be me) can come up with foolproof ways to end this mess and get America back on track. The best two I have heard which I could get on board with are take back our party and prayer. The prayer is easy. Taking back our party, not so easy. Haven’t we tried to get good people through in the primaries and get them elected? We can’t make people vote for them. What is the solution?
Off to the re-education camps with you!
(Just kidding.)
I can’t believe the people here are willing to throw away the country. I think I woke up on the wrong side of the mirror and am on some left-wing, UN site.
