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.
Now, now. That tag line was from a completely different thread! LOL!
It's hard to find information on the members. A FReeper was kind enough to send me this link, but mentioned that their current membership list has "disappeared." Probably along with so many others who have gotten too close to the truth.

I wrote two letters to the editor today about this. Thank God for the Internet or we the commoners would not know about the secret plottings.
We can all claim to be illegal aliens and jump on that gravy train. No more ulcers, no more taxes, no more bills.
Read later.
Daddy Bush is on that list, of course...
How is it that such a despicable gang can get away with pretending to be America's leaders? Shame on us!
To be honest, I am sick of GWB right now. I have severe buyers' remorse. Although Kerry would be no better, at least the GOP might block what he wanted to do. Now, it seems like a tsunami of anti-American measures: pourus borders, soldiers wearing gloves to hold the Koran, free traitor deals, sky high energy prices. etc etc.
But oh yeah, I got a $300.00 check in the mail.
The best part is is when GWB talks about Iraqi freedom while we ghewar at home are losing it little by little every day. Kelo; Borders; CFR; etc etc.

Look up the Club of Rome and it's 10 region plan for the world. You might find that even more...interesting.
I'm having a hard time believing the country is gonna go along with this. Maybe I'm naive? This will likely start the revolution. And it ain't gonna be pretty.
GWB has turned out to be just another sell-out like the rest of them.
Babs is probably too dumb to understand the article, Feinstein might be against it, but is too much of a politician to do anything to stop it..
Jane Harman is hard to read---sometimes I think she is more intelligent than most of the dems in Congress, but then she will side with a demwit and I have to re-think that...
My Senators are Cornyn and Hutchison, my congressman Joe Barton...
I read yesterday that Cornyn is really mad at Sen. Frist, because Frist (who makes up the Senate schedule), pulled border control OFF the calendar for this summer...and said they MIGHT get to it in the fall....
Cornyn has been going all over Texas talking to ranchers and local sheriff and police officers, border control and just regular Texans to find out how bad the illegal problem is...
He USED to think that more people would get MAD if there were deportations and strict control, but I think he had heard quite a bit from Texans that are saying just the opposite..
HOWEVER, I don't know if he knows about the CFR, and if he does, what his opinion is..so I will ask him and Hutchison and Barton.
What, you don't actually believe all this tinfoil crap do you? This could never happen in America. CFR? Bah! What time is American Idol on tonight? [/sarcasm]
That's how they get away with it.
They know that! That is why it is being done little by little by little. Like the frog in ever increasing water till its death.
We are dying a slow death, but in the last few years, it seems as though the accelerator has been pushed to the metal.
I missed those words but I read today that the CFR's orders were the real reason for Persian Gulf I. I opposed that war (woosy, wimpy, what was the point), but I never dreamed it was part of Bush Sr.'s NWO. I did mention Bush Sr. as a member in my letter to ed today, along with Bubba, Half-bright, Dr. Rice, and Cheney. Ah, yes, and our RINO, Jim Kolbe is a CFR also.
I went to the list. Seems like a whole lot of people joined up in '92.
I'll post their replies when I get them.
