Canada in the summer and Mexico in the spring offer good weather for planning international policies. Nervousness about the political weather, however, is putting the third Security and Prosperity Partnership summit taking place Aug. 20-21 at a site where the uninvited can be easily excluded: the Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello resort about 50 miles outside of Quebec.
The cheering gallery for SPP is hysterically chanting that its goal is not a North American "union" modeled on the European Union - and that anyone who thinks otherwise must be peddling conspiracy fears. But SPP supporters candidly admit they want North American "integration," which might be a distinction without a difference.
President George W. Bush started down this trail on April 22, 2001, when he signed the Declaration of Quebec City in which he made a "commitment to hemispheric integration." After Communist Hugo Chavez took over Venezuela, "hemispheric" was quietly scaled down to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of just North America.
The lobbyists for integration are bringing heavy-artillery reinforcements to their cause: a pro-integration report written by a prestigious think tank, the Center for Strategic & International Studies. The report is now being translated into Spanish and French so it can be presented to all three governments in September.
The importance of the Center for Strategic & International Studies comes from the political influence of its trustees. They are longtime internationalists and architects of some of the worst foreign and defense policies of the past 50 years.
A 25-page advance peek at the report has been released under the caption "North American Future 2025 Project." The core of the plan for America's future is North American "economic integration" and "labor mobility," key words that are repeated again and again in this report.
The threat to good U.S. jobs is obvious from the redundancy of demands to import cheap labor without limits: "international migration of labor," "international movement not only of goods and capital, but also of people," "mobile labor supply," "North American labor mobility," "flows of labor migration," and "free flow of people across national borders."
The report explains that "border infrastructure" means the "efficient flow of labor across North American borders" so we can "pool the human capital necessary to source a competitive North American work force." It's unlikely that U.S. workers want to "pool" their jobs with Mexico where the median minimum wage is $5 a day.
Slyly revealing the plan to integrate governments as well as economies, the report states: "To remain competitive in the global economy, policymakers must devise forward-looking, collaborative policies that integrate governments."
In an attack on the unique American patent system and fountainhead of U.S. innovation superiority, the report calls for "harmonizing legislation" with other countries in the area of intellectual property rights. The report also calls on us to "harmonize" regulations of all kinds by adopting "unified North American regulatory standards."
No wonder the CSIS admits that its report was developed in "seven closed-door roundtable sessions." Let's call the roll of the trustees of this influential think tank: Henry Kissinger, who was the architect of the Nixon-Ford policies repudiated by Ronald Reagan; James R. Schlesinger, the secretary of defense for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford; Zbigniew Brzezinski, the trilateralist who was President Jimmy Carter's chief foreign policy adviser. William Cohen, who was President Bill Clinton's secretary of defense; Harold Brown, who was the secretary of the Air Force carrying out Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's disarmament policies in the 1960s; and Brent Scowcroft, former vice chairman of Kissinger Associates and national security adviser to President George H.W. Bush.
The frontman for this galaxy of globalists is former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga. One more household name is former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, the man who leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press.
Business authority Peter F. Drucker wrote in his 1993 book "Post Capitalist Society" (Collins, $16.95) that 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."
He gleefully added, "So far this attempt is purely economic in its goal, but it can hardly remain so in the long run. ... The economic integration of the three countries into one region is proceeding so fast that it will make little difference whether the marriage is sanctified legally or not."
Now that the game plan is laid out, we can connect the dots: the North American Free Trade Agreement; the admission of Mexican trucks onto U.S. highways; the contract to build the TransTexas Corridor and the plans to extend it into a NAFTA Superhighway; making Kansas City an international "port"; the "totalization" of illegal immigrants into the U.S. Social Security system; and the recently defeated Senate amnesty bill. That bill would have integrated 20 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. labor force, locked us (by Section 413) into the SPP, and spent massive foreign aid to "improve the standard of living in Mexico."

U.S. workers may not like that, but many U.S. businesses would, especially if workers were held in place by the U.S. government.
Let’s see what does the average US have to gain from this?
More crime.
Overcrowding of schools, prisons, hospitals.
Declining wages in most blue collar jobs....then after a few years declining wages in white collar jobs.
Higher property taxes.
Higher payroll taxes....and ultimately higher income taxes.
This is nothing more than a socialist transfer of wealth.
Phyllis knows well that good but not so bright fellas get led around by the nose when they get hosted and toasted by the gold cuff-link crowd. She wrote AMBUSH AT VLADIVOSTOK about how President Ford got sequestered and manipulated in negotiations. The same thing happened in El Salvador when Cristiani signed away so much to the FMLN erasing much of El Salvador’s “peace dividend” (by the inevitable rise in crime due to former guerrillas filling the police ranks and the abolition of much of the traditional and successful security forces).
Mrs. Schlafly is still one of my favorite Yankee ladies.
Whose wealth? (Answer: the wealth of those who really ain't got any -- us.)
Be assured, the really wealthy won't be touched for a dime.
Bumping!
How do you fight this?
Third Party
conservative, prolife, America first, term limits
Duncan Hunter defunded the Mexican Trucking bill. He may be our only hope.
Wonder why this isn’t brought up in the debates by Steffie and such?
Conspiracy “Theory”? Not a “Theory”, I have heard of this rumbling since the early 60’s. It’s not a theory, this is what our government wants. For the NAU to happen though, they have to get rid of our Constitution...........watch this one closely.
Comunisms useful idiots are alive and well and in control of the United States State department.
Who was it that wrote about the rampant communist control of the Agriculture Department in the 1950’s? (remember all that grain trade with the USSR?)
Before I would invest a dime in Mexico, Mexicans would have to first “take out their trash”...
Mexico has to be one of the most criminally infested countries in the world! And we won’t even talk about the criminals in government!!!
And if Mexico did finally clean up its act, then the illegals in this country would go home...voluntarily.
of course that hasn’t stopped Ford & Chrysler, just to name a couple of corporations, from investing in ol’ Mexico...
Bingo. Given a choice, there may be some Mexicans who would rather be in the U.S. but most would prefer to stay home. However, as long as the situation there remains the same they will continue to want to come here. Instead of the Mexican President pushing GWB for immigration reform here, GWB should be pushing for a major reform of their system there. Our problems with illegals are somehow interpreted to be a sign of problems in our country when it really is a blaring sign of the problems in Mexico. Reform the system there, clean it up, and make it favorable for investment and economic growth. That would solve our immigration problems here. Once Mexico is on a more equal footing with the U.S., then we can talk about a closer integration.
that’s a fact!
You’re right. The third party is slowly becoming the only hope to clean up the mess in D.C.
Do you think Rep.Hunter would run third party if he lost the Republican Nomination?
No, he doesn’t have McCain’s ego and he knows doing so would surrender the country to the Hilldebeast for sure.
