CFR's Plan to Integrate the U.S., Mexico and Canada

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.

Oh my Gawd. We'd do better with Arnold - oh, right he already has a job.

[Sam Gamgee]

How can any self-respecting evangelical be a globalist?

[Sam Gamgee]

IF all these goals are to be done via truly liberalized trade I'm all for it. Being an Adam Smith capitalist I believe in trade not aid. But if the purpose is to rob the middle class of its hard earned money, spread most of it to corrupt politicians in Mexico and Washington, and let the crumbs dribble into the pockets of some drug trafficking Mexican warlords, no thanks.

[Sam Gamgee]

I just googled to read about the Law of the Sea treaty. Another wealth transfer I see.

[Sam Gamgee]

I learned about the CFR through the book "The Creature from Jeckyl Island". By the end of the book I started to wonder whether or not the author is a little too paranoid. I do however obviously know the CFR exists. I still believe the Fabian socialist movement exists as well. In fact it is and always has been the REAL communist threat. Militant socialism never had a chance, especially at the dawn of the nuclear age. But by infiltrating our education system, giving the right to print currency at will to a private bank, re-writing economics so that it is now dominated by Keynsians and Galbraiths, the Fabian form of socialism is succeeding in destroying capitalism (and free society) from within.

What I found really scary in the book was the revelation that Rockefeller donated the land upon which the United Nations was built.

Does anyone have any idea where the Bush money comes from, how much there is, stuff like that? We don't think We've ever heard that discussed.

[ichabod1]

No one is pushing those candidates besides the democraps and their henchmen in the lamestream media. Remember what Coulter said about the Republicans the liberals LIKE. I can't remember what it was, so I hope somebody can remember what she said about them.

[WatchingInAmazement]

THANK YOU for posting this, I was just about to do so.

worth repeating! Here are some new Senate/Congress toll free numbers.

...it'll NEVER HAPPEN!!!

It is happening and its happening by stealth. Have you seen Senator John Cornyn's bill ? (S 2941)

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:S.2941:

Highlights:

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

The purposes of the Fund shall be--

(1) to promote economic and infrastructure integration among Canada, Mexico, and the United States;

(2) to promote education and economic development in Mexico; and

(3) to reduce the wealth gap between Mexico and Canada, and between Mexico and the United States.

Reduce the wealth gap. Pure Marxism, from your republican administration.

More:

SEC. 4. PROJECTS FUNDED.

(a) IN GENERAL- The Fund shall make grants for projects to carry out the purposes described in section 3, including projects--

(1) to construct roads in Mexico to facilitate trade between Mexico and Canada, and Mexico and the United States;

(2) to develop and implement post-secondary education programs in Mexico;

(3) to install telecommunications technologies throughout Mexico; and

(4) to construct other infrastructure that will carry out such purposes.

(Part two, there's your children's college fund, going to Mexicans.)

More:

SEC. 5. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FUND.

(a) IN GENERAL- The terms of the agreement establishing the Fund shall, subject to the limitation in subsection (b), require the Governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States to contribute to the Fund.

The future is not looking to promising

[Sam Gamgee]

Well that’s a relief. You know I haven’t heard much from Coulter lately. It seems perhaps she has been put out of favour for conservatives for some reason? I think she’s awesome. She doesn’t perform quite as well in person as she does in print attacking liberals in her books. But avoiding candidates liberals like is probably a wise idea – which means that candidate will be universally hated by the world – but screw those funny sounding foreigners.

[Leonine]

If you have the leisure, please review the thread on Miers has questions to answer (search). A financial analyst, justshutupandtakeit, had a peculiar talking-point reaction to every strong point I made. I get the impression that he is not a conservative at all, but rather a person meant to silence me. Watch out for this guy and several others I've noticed. They are talented in dismissiveness.

[IronJack]

I still believe the Fabian socialist movement exists as well.

So do I. I also believe that if the international communist conspiracy isn't following the Fabian model, it's following the teachings of Antonio Gramsci. I know Hillary Clinton is.

[Sam Gamgee]

I'll have to check that out. I have to admit I have never heard of him.

[hedgetrimmer]

Wonder no more.

A short history of the Fabian Society

Since the 1997 general election there have been around 200 Fabian MPs in the Commons, amongst whom number nearly the entire Cabinet, including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Robin Cook, Jack Straw, David Blunkett and Clare Short. The Society has pursued its role as the new Labour government's 'critical friend', seeking to ask challenging questions and to stimulate public debate. The Society's two-year Commission on Taxation and Citizenship criticised Labour's reluctance to discuss taxation and proposed, among other reforms, an earmarked tax for the NHS. Reports on environmental policy, capital grants to young people and parental leave directly influenced government policy in key areas. The Society published both Tony Blair's seminal pamphlet on the 'Third Way' and Lionel Jospin's philosophy of the active state. Meanwhile the Society's growing membership and ever larger numbers coming to its public conferences have proved that - whatever the wider trends to political apathy and disaffection - the appetite for radical thought and searching debate on the left of centre remains undiminished. At the start of the 21st century the Society plays as crucial a role in the political life of the country as ever.

Tony Blair has been Bushs staunchest supporter. While Bill Clinton is also a third way socialist and used this philosophy in many decisions and federal programs he enacted, Bush has an affiliation with the Communitarian movement here in the US, which is just another flavor of third way socialism. In fact Bush and Kerry made speeches before and after the election extolling the so-called virtues of communitarianism.

As an FYI communitarianism is said to be communism or socialism that allows people to practice religion, while the third way is outright global socialism and is the foundation of the philosophy behind the World Trade Organization, the World Bank,the International Monetary Fund and the Inter-American Development Bank to name a few.

[hedgetrimmer]

See my post #94. If you are a communitarian, you can be evangelical and a globalist at the same time.

Where Does Big Mother Come From?

On February 01, 2001, Washington Post Staff Writer Dana Milbank published "Needed: Catchword for Bush Ideology, 'Communitarianism' Finds Favor:(17)

"The problem some Bush advisers and friends say, is that conventional political definitions do not adequately explain what the president is trying to do. His actions have less to do with the left vs. right, they say, than with his embrace of many of the ideas contained in the movement known as 'communitarianism,' which places the importance of society ahead of the unfettered rights of the individual.

"This is the ultimate Third Way," says Don Eberly, an advisor in the Bush White House, using a favorite phrase of President Bill Clinton, who also sought, largely unsuccessfully, to redefine the debate with an alternative to the liberal-conservative conflict."

Then Ms. Milbank gives us Robert Putnam's "definition" of what communitarianism is:

"Communitarianism," or "civil society" thinking (the two have similar meanings) has many interpretations, but at it's center is a notion that years of celebrating individual freedom have weakened the bonds of community and that the rights of the individual must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole. Inherent in the philosophy is a return to values and morality, which, the school of thought believes, can best be fostered by community organizations. "We need to connect with one another. We've got to move a little more in the direction of community in the balance between community and the individual," said Robert D. Putnam of Harvard University, a leading communitarian thinker.(18)

Milbank lists twelve communitarian "thinkers" who advise George Bush Jr.,(19): "Bush's inaugural address," said George Washington University professor Amitai Etzioni, a communitarian thinker, "was a communitarian text, full of words like 'civility,' 'responsibility' and 'community.' That's no accident. Bush's advisers consulted on the speech with Putnam."

Milbank describes examples of Bush's communitarian-based programs, including Americorps, and again quotes Eberly:

“There's a specific mission, but there's a broader effort of social-sector renewal writ large," Eberly said, "This is about the incubation of democratic values and habits.”

[Sam Gamgee]

Youzers! Why did you have to go and kill my respect for GW Bush?

I guess you can but it is not logical. A Christian believes mans perfection will never be attained here on earth. Socialism makes the state the chief Deity and teaches that man can, through social engineering, create paradise on earth. In fact capitalism/republicanism is the perfect ally in Christian thinking. It acknowledges man's inherent evil nature. No man can be trusted with absolute power, therefore we create a republic to limit the power of our leaders.

So yes, I guess I have to accept that a movement exists to ally the two notions, but common sense should easily show Christianity and socialism are not compatible. I suppose Christians have latched onto other secular movements that are contrary to the faith - pacifism and environmentalism.

[Sam Gamgee]

Pure evil. Individualism does NOT weaken the bond of the most important community of all - the family. I would argue that I as an individual work hard, yes as Adam Smith says, for my own comfort and survival, but also for the survival of the unit closest to me - my family. I do not work to benefit the state or common man. They may or may not prosper unintentionally from my work ethic, but that is never and shall never be my aim - which I consider reasonable and not at all at odds with God's command.

[NormsRevenge]

Pack some FTAA in your pipe and smoke some of it.

Inhale if you can. ;-)

[Eighth Square]

Yeah, our own worst enemy. It's really so sad.
