WASHINGTON – A powerful think tank chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn and guided by trustees including Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, William Cohen and Henry Kissinger, is in the final stages of preparing a report to the White House and U.S. Congress on the benefits of integrating the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one political, economic and security bloc.

Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America Prosperity Agenda
PROSPERITY AGENDA
Promoting Growth, Competitiveness and Quality of Life
To enhance the competitive position of North American industries in the global marketplace and to provide greater economic opportunity for all of our societies, while maintaining high standards of health and safety for our people, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will work together, and in consultation with stakeholders, to:
Improve Productivity
Regulatory Cooperation to Generate Growth
Lower costs for North American businesses, producers, and consumers and maximize trade in goods and services across our borders by striving to ensure compatibility of regulations and standards and eliminating redundant testing and certification requirements.
Strengthen regulatory cooperation, including at the onset of the regulatory process, to minimize barriers.
Sectoral Collaboration to Facilitate Business
Explore new approaches to enhance the competitiveness of North American industries by promoting greater cooperation in sectors such as autos, steel, and other sectors identified through consultations.
Strengthen North America’s energy markets by working together, according to our respective legal frameworks, to increase reliable energy supplies for the region’s needs and development, by facilitating investment in energy infrastructure, technology improvements, production and reliable delivery of energy; by enhancing cooperation to identify and utilize best practices, and to streamline and update regulations; and by promoting energy efficiency, conservation, and technologies such as clean coal, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and renewable energy.
Improve the safety and efficiency of North America’s transportation system by expanding market access, facilitating multimodal corridors, reducing congestion, and alleviating bottlenecks at the border that inhibit growth and threaten our quality of life (e.g., expand air services agreements, increase airspace capacity, initiate an Aviation Safety Agreement process, pursue smart border information technology initiatives, ensure compatibility of regulations and standards in areas such as statistics, motor carrier and rail safety, and working with responsible jurisdictions, develop mechanisms for enhanced road infrastructure planning, including an inventory of border transportation infrastructure in major corridors and public-private financing instruments for border projects).
Work towards the freer flow of capital and the efficient provision of financial services throughout North America (e.g., facilitate cross-border electronic access to stock exchanges without compromising investor protection, further collaboration on training programs for bank, insurance and securities regulators and supervisors, seek ways to improve convenience and cost of insurance coverage for carriers engaged in cross border commerce).
Stimulate and accelerate cross-border technology trade by preventing unnecessary barriers from being erected (e.g., agree on mutual recognition of technical requirements for telecommunications equipment, tests and certification; adopt a framework of common principles for e-commerce).
Investing in Our People
Work through the Partnership for Prosperity and the Canada-Mexico Partnership to strengthen our cooperation in the development of human capital in North America, including by expanding partnerships in higher education, science, and technology.
Reduce the Costs of Trade
Efficient Movement of Goods
Lower the transaction costs of trade in goods by liberalizing the requirements for obtaining duty-free treatment under NAFTA, including through the reduction of “rules of origin” costs on goods traded between our countries. Each country should have in place procedures to allow speedy implementation of rules of origin modifications.
Increase competitiveness by exploring additional supply chain options, such as by rationalizing minor differences in external tariffs, consistent with multilateral negotiation strategies.
Efficient Movement of People
Identify measures to facilitate further the movement of business persons within North America and discuss ways to reduce taxes and other charges residents face when returning from other North American countries.
Enhance the Quality of Life
Joint Stewardship of our Environment
Expand cooperative work to improve air quality, including reducing sulphur in fuels, mercury emissions, and marine emissions.
Enhance water quality by working bilaterally, trilaterally and through existing regional bodies such as the International Boundary and Water Commission and the International Joint Commission.
Combat the spread of invasive species in both coastal and fresh waters.
Enhance partnerships and incentives to conserve habitat for migratory species, thereby protecting biodiversity.
Develop complementary strategies for oceans stewardship by emphasizing an ecosystem approach, coordinating and integrating existing marine managed areas, and improving fisheries management.
Creating a Safer and More Reliable Food Supply while Facilitating Agricultural Trade
Pursue common approaches to enhanced food safety and accelerate the identification, management and recovery from foodborne and animal and plant disease hazards, which will also facilitate trade.
Enhance laboratory coordination and information-sharing by conducting targeted bilateral and/or trilateral activities to establish a mechanism to exchange information on laboratory methods and to build confidence regarding each other’s testing procedures and results.
Increase cooperation in the development of regulatory policy related to the agricultural biotechnology sectors in Canada, Mexico and the United States, through the work of the North American Biotechnology Initiative (NABI).
Protect Our People from Disease
Enhance public health cross-border coordination in infectious diseases surveillance, prevention and control (e.g., pandemic influenza).
Improve the health of our indigenous people through targeted bilateral and/or trilateral activities, including in health promotion, health education, disease prevention, and research.
Building upon cooperative efforts under the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, work towards the identification and adoption of best practices relating to the registration of medicinal products.

Ummm...is it just me, or does it look like that is the cast of characters we do NOT want doing analysis on this issue?
For G*d’s sake- is it always about money?
I’d love to see these greedy traitors exposed.
here is another one, I try to ping you to only the best of the best concerning the NAU. I tin foilers (me) are right on this.
Bump for the ultimate corporate welfare scam.
THE COMING NORTH AMERICAN PARLIAMENT
Robert Pastor, a top Democratic Party foreign policy specialist associated with the Panama Canal giveaway, denies that he is at the center of a “vast conspiracy” to subvert American sovereignty under the cover of establishing a “North American Union.” He calls the charges “absurd.”
But Pastor, a former official of the Carter Administration and adviser to President Clinton, made those remarks at an all-day February 16 conference devoted to the development of a North American legal system. The holding of the conference was itself evidence that a comprehensive process is underway to merge the economies, and perhaps the social and political systems, of the three countries.
Overruling The Supreme Court
Pastor, director of the Center for North American Studies at American University (CNAS), said that he favors a “North American Community,” not a formal union of the three countries. Wearing a lapel pin featuring the flags of the U.S., Canada and Mexico, Pastor told AIM that he favors a $200-billion North American Investment Fund to pull Mexico out of poverty and a national biometric identity card for the purpose of controlling the movement of people in and out of the U.S.
So the “conspiracy” is now very much out in the open, if only the media would pay some attention to it.

North American Union to Replace USA?
by Jerome R. Corsi (More by this author)

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled “Building a North American Community” published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration’s actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union:
At their meeting in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005, U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin committed their governments to a path of cooperation and joint action. We welcome this important development and offer this report to add urgency and specific recommendations to strengthen their efforts.
What is the plan? Simple, erase the borders. The plan is contained in a “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” little noticed when President Bush and President Fox created it in March 2005:
In March 2005, the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States adopted a Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), establishing ministerial-level working groups to address key security and economic issues facing North America and setting a short deadline for reporting progress back to their governments. President Bush described the significance of the SPP as putting forward a common commitment “to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security.” The policy framework articulated by the three leaders is a significant commitment that will benefit from broad discussion and advice. The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized.
Michael Medved also pays attention to the NAU. He ridicules anyone who thinks it’s a possibility.
Then he moves on to discuss his latest Big Foot sightings.
Bttt!
A conspiracy takes smarter people than the ones usually accused of doing the conspiring.
Follow the money.”

Peter F. Drucker, in one of his dozens of best-selling books, “Post Capitalist Society, published in 1993, wrote that the European Community, the progenitor of the European Union, “triggered the attempt to create a North American economic community, built around the United States but integrating both Canada and Mexico into a common market.”
“So far this attempt is purely economic in its goal,” wrote the Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree. “But it can hardly remain so in the long run.”
Tancredo Rips into Bush, North American Union
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006
{Update: My apologies to Michelle Malkin for “crediting” her as the author of the piece on Hotair.com that inspired me to make this post on Polipundit}
Tom Tancredo, one of the original crusaders against illegal immigration, thinks Bush, Fox and Canada are indeed pushing for a “North American Union”:
PALM BEACH, Fla. – President Bush believes America should be more of an idea than an actual place, a Republican congressman told WND in an exclusive interview.
“People have to understand what we’re talking about here. The president of the United States is an internationalist,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. “He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that – it’s an idea. It’s not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where this guy is really going.”
Tancredo lashed out at the White House’s lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada is not a fantasy.
“I know this is dramatic – or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic – but I’m telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it’s not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it. …
Congressman Ron Paul also warns of the NAU:
Tancredo isn’t the only congressman warning about plans to integrate the three nations of this continent.
Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, denounced plans for the proposed “NAFTA superhighway” in his state as part of a larger plot for merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a North American Union.

Let's agree to stop calling the NAU a "conspiracy," OK? Damn few "conspiracies" spell out their plans on their own web site. Rather the NAU is viewed by those whom a mysterious God hath placed above us, as the logical LONG TERM solution to a set of problems which they, in their infinite wisdom, see before us.
Our basic problem: Vigorous consumer economies depend upon a growing population base. Period. Any fool, even those employed by the government, can see we ain't got that, left to our own devices, because having children costs money and limits many fun options that are the reward of a brisk consumer economy. Not to mention, female "career" opportunities. New working young people are also required to pay the taxes that provide the benefits paid out to old people as consumer societies drift ever toward socialism.
Now, we can't get these new people we need from Europe anymore. They have the same problem. Just as we are overrun by Mexicans, they are overrun by Muslims and Africans and a combo of the two. Buchanan, despite his obvious faults, ain't told no lie. The Christian West is committing suicide.
Our leaders see us eventually overrun by our non-European Third World neighbors and simply want to get ahead of the curve ... control it before it controls us; maybe make it a "good thing," instead of a bad thing, which seems more than likely without some kind of action to integrate our new population. Their mistake?
So now, in typical government fashion, they got mayhem. And we have replaced the children we didn't have, or the children we killed, with a soon-to-be 100 million alien (to us) population. By the time the NAU comes up for a referendum, or for ratification, our leaders foresee that we will be the northernmost country in Latin America, albeit with a (hopefully) still significant "Anglo" minority. They (or whoever "they" is at that time) then will have the votes to pass it.
If that's the case then it would be in their best interest to keep the status quo -- keeping illegals illegal. Once they becomes citizens (and join Democrat-controlled unions) they'll cease to be cheap.
......and hope they will get “conservatives” Catholics. The Democrats want the votes. What’s irrational about that?
Nothing irrational from the Dem's perspective -- the vast majority of those tens of millions will indeed register Donkey. But if the Pubbies think that the new citizens' "Catholicism" will somehow translate into GOP votes they're even dumber than they appear.
The boy genius Rove thinks that Mexicans, the Cubans of Miami, and Italians are the same. That is, the Mexicans, because of this "Catholicism" angle, anchor babies hopefully voting legally, will join the other two groups and become the "Republicans of the Future."
Real world? Illegal aliens are registering in many areas and voting or being voted, (Ask B-1 Bob Dornan) as Democrats. I somehow don't think the anchor babies will vote much differently. But then, who are we to argue with the highly paid idiot savant Karl?
I talk to you. He talks to Bush.
Not nearly so many of them are Catholic anymore and even fewer are conservative.
Regarding conspiracy theories, our actual federal government is well beyond the dreams of even the most fanciful conspiracy theorist. No one could have imagined it or the mad characters who serve in it.
Please People....keep those cards, letters, emails, Faxes and Phone Calls going into Congress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
