President Bush will interrupt his summer vacation in Crawford, Texas, next week to attend the third summit meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP, slated for Aug. 20 and 21 in Montebello, Quebec, at the five-star Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello resort.
Bush will meet with Mexico's President Felipe Calderon and Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the event.
The meeting has been hidden in a cloud of secrecy until WND obtained from an Access to Information Act request a previously unreleased copy of a government report detailing agenda plans for the third SPP summit.
According to WND has reported that a multinational business agenda is driving this upcoming SPP summit according to the heavily redacted document obtained from the Canadian government.
The memo clearly states at center stage in the Montebello SPP summit will be recommendations by the North American Competitiveness Council, regarding promoting North American competitiveness for multinational corporations through "integrating" and "harmonizing" regulations between Mexico, Canada and the U.S.
The council, an executive group composed of 10 top multinational corporations from each of the three SPP countries, was constituted under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Commerce to provide guidance to the 20 SPP working groups of U.S., Mexican, and Canadian bureaucrats.
WND has also reported that President Bush will discuss at the summit a plan to send U.S. military assistance to Mexico to assist Mexico's military and civilian law enforcement agencies to combat Mexican narco-criminals and drug lords.

Has Thompson resigned, in disgust, from CFR because of their globalism (read: abandonment of American sovereignty)?
W doesn’t think that they are a threat.
BAM, reason.
He was largely raised by his Mexican nanny since his parents were rich and were generally busy people. He’s always had a soft spot for Mexicans on account of it. He speaks Spanish fluently.
This makes him wrong, since unchecked immigration is a bad thing for the country in many ways. However, that doesn’t make him evil.
It certainly doesn’t make him Dr. Doom, going around with dark plans for world domination via sneaky treaties that can only be perceived by kooks with websites that get 100 page views a year and World Net Daily. It isn’t like Congress or a Constitutional Convention would be necessary to do something like that, now would it?
Oh wait, it would. LOL.
I’m saying this with a smile on my face. Ya’ll are smart people, but you’ve let yourself be scared by people who can write a lot of flash and dazzle but in the end will be shown to be wrong like all prophets of impending doom. I doubt they’ll even acknowedge it when it doesn’t come to pass.
I’ve been in the same position. We old timers here at FR saw the same thing in the waning days of the Toon’s presidency (not going to grace that with a capital P). All sorts of kook burgers came out of the woodwork claiming that he was going to declare martial law for some trumped up emergency and cancel the elections.
That was a lot of bunkum, but as a dopey 17 year old kid who hadn’t had time to tune his baloney detector yet, I fell for it hook line and sinker and was worried to death about it, as were many posters here at the time.
Others were taken in by DEBKA/WND before we invaded Iraq, when they would publish weekly accounts of how Saddam Hussein was going to invade Israel with a 1 million man army along with the other Arab nations and cause armageddon.
That didn’t happen.
This NAU stuff smacks of the same kookery. It all comes from a handful of sources that just have no support outside of their little self-referential domain, and I’m sure that when this blows over none of them will be found, or if they are, they’ll have cleaned all record of if off of their sites so that they can hawk the next flavor of panic.
That, in a nutshell, is why I don’t believe in it. :)
It is very easy to own property in Mexico now. As a caution, title searches and title insurance are very important because, as the collectives privatize, ownership is not always clear until the federal courts adjudicate disputes within the collectives.
World Net Daily doesn’t count as a “large amount of information.”
It does count as a large amount of something, but I’ll leave speculation as to the nature of the something to other, wittier sorts. ;)
I no longer doubt that the NAU is in the works.
More and more really credible people are speaking out about it
Last week on a local talk show, Frank Gaffney, founder of The Center For Security Policy, talked of the ways the NAU is being set up, he also spoke of the LOST treaty, and mentioned they were both threats to sovereignty.
This is happening, just like the EU. Most that like to call it tin foil hat are just denying it because they don’t want to face that possibility, and it is easier to ignore the facts.
“He was largely raised by his Mexican nanny since his parents were rich and were generally busy people. Hes always had a soft spot for Mexicans on account of it.”
Many of us grew up with nannies and didn’t turn out to have “soft spots” for their nationalities/countries. That is a very invalid arguement.
The president evidently sees no terrorist threat with Mexico and believes the US needs the Mexican workforce. A strong economy is preferred by all and he may be right.
I am against illegal immigration and have exerted much effort to make my stance known to my congressmen but am not so naive as to believe that all the cheap labor is not contributing to the economy.
In a perfect world, the president would explain why he is so strong for accepting foreign invaders. History will show the whole picture.
Say what?

Sshhh. Nobody knows about this, just us. It’s so much fun to be in on the secret. Let’s just keep this one to ourselves.
So much for the *TRANSPARENCY* the hacks in DC always talk about
I really think conservatism and conspiracy theories are anathema.
I think it’s time we FLOODED our congressmen’s and senators offices with calls telling them to draft a resolution to stop the president from attending, or put him on trial when he come back , if he goes anyway.
We must jail him if he insists on attending, and take away his ability to use the executive office to ‘institutionalize’ this treason.
“Has Thompson resigned, in disgust, from CFR because of their globalism (read: abandonment of American sovereignty)?”
As far as I know, he has not. Have you ever heard or read that he has any problem with globalism?
The situation in the EU is a lot more complex than it is between Canada, the US, and Mexico.
Some are playing for power and influence for themselves or their countries (Germany/France), others are idealists who think that by becoming bound together that wars will be less likely, others are hard core free traders who think that open borders and centralized control of finances will help their economies (especially the poorer EU members).
Besides, most of the EU stuff was done out in the open. There wasn’t anyone who woke up to newspaper headlines saying “The Old Nation is No More, We’re Part of the Fourth Reich Now! LOL,” and they’ve generally managed to trashcan any attempts so far at making Europe into a true federal superstate.
This all sounds completely different than the NAU conspiracy nonsense we keep being deluged with from the WND corner. As if we’d wake up one morning to a new North American superstate and no one would see it coming. That’s just absurd.
As far as I know, he has not said he is against it. To be fair, he has not said he is for it. But how many would admit they are for it, Republicans I mean?
No matter how many people, Freepers included, try to make the point that CFR is a neutral, or even benign, organization, I would not trust them as far as I could throw their entire membership, and believe me, I would like to do exactly that.

That's a foolish post. None of NAU agreements are being run through Congress. There are no authorization laws being passed though there should be. What's going on is three bureaucracies (American, Canadian, Mexican) are plotting against the American people. Drawing up agreements without any input from elected representatives, let alone organizations and the American people
As far as secrecy- How come these meetings aren't open to the press? What's the big deal going on behind closed doors?
The beauty part is the dollar is sinking due to US trade deficits so I doubt too much Chinese crap will ever make it up these NAFTA super highways from Mexican ports
If you want a conspiracy you got one here
No it isn’t.
