Bush to attend meeting critics view as stepping stone to continental union
By Jerome R. Corsi
Protesters believe as many as 10,000 people could assemble in Quebec to demonstrate against the third summit meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, the trilateral group some critics see as a stepping stone to a “North America Community.”
Canadian state and national police are preparing for a possible violent confrontation when President Bush joins Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper Aug. 20, 21 in Montebello, Québec, at the Fairmont Le Château Montebello resort.
Stuart Trew, a spokesman for the Council of Canadians, said his group plans to hold a public forum in Ottawa Sunday, Aug. 19, at about 4:00 p.m., bringing together speakers from the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
“We are then going to encourage people to head to Montebello on Monday and get as close they can to the Fairmont resort where the SPP meeting is going to be held, so they can protest at the site of the summit,” he said.
Trew said some of the same groups that brought 15,000 people to Ottawa to protest President Bush’s Nov. 30, 2004, meeting with then-Prime Minister Paul Martin are organizing the demonstration against the SPP summit. CBC News estimated the number of protestors in 2004 at closer to 5,000.
Frederic Castonguay, the town general manager of Papineauville, Quebec, told WND in a telephone interview that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Sûreté du Québec will set up operations in a town community facility that adjoins a local high school.
“Papineauville is located about six kilometers from the Montebello resort where the summit meeting will be held,” Castonguay told WND, “and the Canadian national and state police have evidently decided that our town facility will be their command center.”
Castonguay suggested the Canadian police may try to maintain a 25-kilometer protest-free zone around the Montebello summit meeting site.
Castonguay affirmed to WND that a deposit to lease the facility to the Council of Canadians the day before the SPP summit meeting had to be returned at the insistence of the Canadian police, but he denied a report in the Canadian press that the U.S. Army would be part of the security detail at the Papineauville community center facility.
“That’s a game the Canadian press likes to play,” Castonguay told WND. “The RCMP said U.S. and Mexican security forces would be involved, but they did not specifically mention the U.S. Army.”
The PGA Bloc Montreal has organized a mock website designed to model Canada’s SPP governmental website. The group is calling for Aug. 20 at 3 p.m. to be a “Day of Action” organized against the SPP.
The PGA Bloc Montreal is a Canadian group affiliated with the Peoples’ Global Action, a worldwide group organized to protest globalism and war.
“We are calling for a convergence on Montebello, or as close to Montebello as possible, on the 20th, in the afternoon,” a PGA Bloc Montreal spokesman explained to WND in an e-mail. “People are invited to come as close as possible to Montebello to demonstrate against the SPP and its promoters. Mass transportation will be organized from Montreal, but we are not planning a peace march.”
“If they will not let us demonstrate peacefully in Montebello, as we have the full right to do,” the PGA Bloc Montreal spokesman continued, “it is imaginable that some outraged people would want to disrupt the summit by various means.”
WND previously reported a large number of Canadian activist groups are expected to join the protests.
The meeting, closed to the press, is expected to include the 30 international business leaders who comprise the SPP North American Competitiveness Council.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met July 6 in Washington with Canadian Foreign Minister Peter MacKay and Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa to prepare for the Quebec summit.
The July meeting followed an earlier Feb. 24 meeting of the three ministers in Washington to set the stage for the summit.
Since its creation in February 1998, http://uuhome.de/global/english/pga01.html the Peoples’ Global Action has held large street protests around the world in opposition to meetings held by various international organizations, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization and the G-8.

Hunter is on the ball with this- so is Tancredo and Ron Paul, actually- though I disagree with him on Islam.
What most people dont’ want to admit is Thompson. His silence on this issue and his CFR membership speaks volumes.

Thank you for that post. I needed a good history lesson.
My, we have strayed from the original intent.
It appears the opposite in every case.
Thanks again, I hope everyone reads your post.

No help from the GOP becasue Mel Martinez, Bush buttkisser, is a globalist too I wasn't sure, but I kind of doubted it, it seems a good conservative is relegated to the back of the GOP bus.
I don't want anyone having any association with Bush, or the Democrats.
The RudyMcRomneys are also not acceptable.
I have a problem with why any conservative really thinks that anyone in the top tier could represent them. I am not too excited about the elections anymore.
I just see mass manipulation and posturing.

UNITED NATIONS AGENDA 21
This global contract binds governments around the world to the UN plan for changing the ways we live, eat, learn, and communicate - all under the noble banner of saving the earth. Its regulations would severely limit water, electricity, and transportation - even deny human access to our most treasured wilderness areas. If implemented, it would manage and monitor all lands and people. No one would be free from the watchful eye of the new global tracking and information system
This agenda for the 21st Century was signed by 179 nations at the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Among other things, it called for a Global Biodiversity Assessment of the state of the planet. Prepared by the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP), this GBA armed UN leaders with the "information" and "science" they needed to validate their global management system. Its doomsday predictions were designed to excuse radical population reduction, oppressive lifestyle regulations, and a coercive return to earth-centered religions as the basis for environmental values and self-sustaining human settlements.
The GBA concluded on page 763 that "the root causes of the loss of biodiversity are embedded in the way societies use resources." The main culprit? Judeo-Christian values. Chapter 12.2.3 states that-
This world view is characteristic of large scale societies, heavily dependent on resources brought from considerable distances. It is a world view that is characterized by the denial of sacred attributes in nature, a characteristic that became firmly established about 2000 years ago with the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religious traditions.
"...current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class - involving high meat intake use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work-place air-conditioning, and suburban housing - are not sustainable. A shift is necessary. which will require a vast strengthening of the multilateral system, including the United Nations..." [1] Maurice Strong , opening speech at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development

“Why do we keep having these silly summits? They impose a staggering cost in police overtime, vandalism, businesses that have to close down for security reasons, etc.” Because thats what politicians do. They figure out ways to waste tax dollars and if they can cause a massive inconvenience, well, thats just icing on the cake for them.
The only objective here is back slapping and mutual ego boasting on a massive scale. The bigger the noise they make, the more self rightous they will feel afterwords. So they stroke each others big fat egos until they bankrupt taxpayers, and then go home to dream up ways to do it bigger and more ridiculously next time around. They really are quite useless peckerheads.

Some of the powers of the president -
U.S. Constitution ArtII. SectionII. -
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The idea of an EU president (if that is what you are refering to) as a ‘chosen’ politician is still on the cards.
Currently it is a revolvin system of member nations.
But even this ‘new’ role will be virtually powerless and basically only symbolic.
It’s a complete waste of time - and could easily be killed off in a referendum in at least one nation.
