I don’t know, but we will stop it!
My guess would they are worried about the effect on the conservative movement of energy focused on problems that don’t exist when we have so many real problems. The whole NAU conspiracy thing is really draining.
It was just starting to get good when Hemingway morphed into Cockburn.
Gotta love that objectivity!!
What globalist organizations/corporations will benefit from this highway? Whoever has the most money wins. That’s how things are run in this country these days.
But so entertaining...
uggh...
Well as long as US citizens stand in opposition to bills like the Kennedy\McCain\Bush immigration bill there may NOT be a proposed NAFTA Superhighway.However let the conservative stand against illegal immigration falter and we just might get that damn highway !!!
We won’t get it if Congressman Duncan Hunter has any say about it. See this article posted on July 26, 2007, here:

Late last evening, Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) successfully offered an amendment to H.R. 3074, the FY2008 Transportation Appropriations Act, prohibiting the use of federal funds for participation in working groups under the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), including the creation of the NAFTA Super Highway. The Hunter amendment gained strong bipartisan support, passing the House by a vote of 362 – 63.
“The proposed NAFTA Super Highway presents significant challenges to our nation’s security, the safety of vehicle motorists, and will likely drive down wages for American workers,” said Congressman Hunter. “Much like NAFTA, the super highway is designed to serve the interests of our trading partners and will lead to neither security nor prosperity.
“This 12 lane highway, which is already under construction in Texas, will fast-track thousands of cargo containers across the U.S. without adequate security. These containers will move from Mexico, a country with a record of corruption and involvement in the drug trade, across a border that is already porous and insufficiently protected.
“Unfortunately, very little is known about the NAFTA Super Highway. This amendment will provide Congress the opportunity to exercise oversight of the highway, which remains a subject of question and uncertainty, and ensure that our safety and security will not be comprised in order to promote the business interests of our neighbors.”
SPP working groups are advancing a plan to build the NAFTA Super Highway – an international corridor extending between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Comment: (And, if it was just a tin-foil hat issue, why would a Congressman go to all the trouble to offer and pass this amendment?)
Anything that takes five pages to justify cannot have anything good in it!
LOL--you read all five pages? How about the first two words?
Ya gotta love the guy,AND vote for him if the other candidates won’t step up to the plate !!!
I’ve heard some otherwise intelligent-seeming talk show hoasts claim this is all one big conspiracy theory. I don’t believe it is and I would like to see those who are pushing it strung up from the highest tree. Let it be a lesson to others who wish to parcel off our nation to the highest FTAA bidders.
How many miles of fence will be include in this project.
0-nada-none,I’don’t see any,take your pick !!!
