The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."
"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
"Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."
The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."
This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details.
It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.
A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."
The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.
Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."
The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.
The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.
The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.
The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.
Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.
To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.
The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.
Ask your Senators and Representatives which side they are on: the CFR's integrated North American Community or U.S. sovereignty guarded by our own borders.

.............JOKING!
BTTT
This is really insane! How about in relation to non-American Mexican students, a fund to finance American students be drafted in its place?
What the article points out is a clear danger to every American citizen's freedom!
Fox did say this after he was interviewed..but Pres Bush did not say anysuch thing...and I did not read that the emperor of Kanuckistan affirmed Fox's account of what was discussed at their ranch meeting.
If all those secret groups really control things we have no voice anyway so what difference does it make?

.............JOKING!
Except this is the George Noory version of the truth. He honest to gosh believes this, and that the President is one of the primary instigators of selling out the United States for oil and Bigfoots.
And Noory thinks we should take him SERIOUSLY.
Yep Noory is a first-class crackpot alright.... except when he talks about the "shadow people." They really scare me. I wish someone would do someting about the "shadow people."
Let me ask you some questions. What chance do you think we have that Congress and the President will pull us out of the U.N.? What about the WTO? What about NAFTA? What do you think our chances are of avoiding CAFTA-DR?
I'm sure your answers will mirror my own. There isn't chance that we'll withdraw from any of these. There's your answer.
For whatever reason, our federal officials are convinced that there's no business like 'global business', a loose term meant to convey their adoration of anything global.
The move to set up a 'federation' between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. is all but assured in my opinion. There is already a European Union. There is also an African Union.
NAFTA and CAFTA-DR are mearly the first steps to an American Union. The FTAA and the previously mentioned federation are the next steps. We're being sold out.
Unlike France and Denmark, we'll never get a vote on any of this. We didn't on NAFTA, when polls at the time showed 80% of the public was against it. 80%!
Personally, I don't think they'll have a problem at getting two-thirds in the Senate. I'd suggest it will be something like 90%.
It will be sold as a trade response to the E.U. We'll be told we have no choice of we want to remain competitive. Our leaders will be more than happy to jump into this with both feet.
That's the way I see it.
Almost as bad as WorldSmutDaily.
I saw something similiar to this on the Glenn Beck website several weeks ago, but I ignored it, thinking that surely it wasn't true, I see it again on FreeRepublic, I hate to think that Mr. Bush is really agreeing to this, if this is true, we have to stop this one way or the other.
Paranoid christian reconstructionists.
Almost as bad as WorldSmutDaily
What post are you posting to? This makes no sense to this line of posting?? Either get on topic or get OUT!
Please read this thread. If you think Bush is going to save you, sit down before reading it.
BTW, the CAFTA-DR agreement was signed two years ago.

Meet NAFTA on steroids-New U.S.-Mexico-Canada Security PlanWould Virtually Eliminate National Borde

North American national borders would be virtually eliminated under plans being considered by senior business and political leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico for a "NAFTA-plus," continent-wide, customs-free zone with a common approach to trade, energy, immigration, law enforcement and security.
A tri-national task force, chaired by former Liberal Party deputy prime minister John Manley, with the full backing of all three governments, is plotting the roadmap for this new, bolder alliance meant to compete with the European Union. William Weld, former governor of Massachusetts and Pedro Aspe, former Mexican finance minister, join Manley on the panel that reports directly to the Council on Foreign Relations.
The mission has the formal blessing of Tom Ridge, U.S. Homeland Security secretary, who is close with President Bush.
Our elites consider any such effective fences a "backward step" and a move away from establishing their future "common perimeter.
An effectve fence is not rocket system, and would cost less than what we spend on illegal aliens in education, medical care, prison costs etc every month.
Sorry, Dan. There are so many of those who are way out there I forgot you weren't.
The members of FR have some of the MOST accurate screennames, too, judging by some of their responses. I was thinking of the frog in boiling water scenario today; it's funny (but not surprising)I see it on FR. Right now, it's about 160 degrees, and my friend Kermit next to me is feeling a little woozy.
Maybe we DON'T wish to keep our republic, Mr. Franklin!!!
Bump for later.
More than two thirds of the Senate are members of the CFR.
