TX governor rapped for paving way for construction of Trans-Texas Corridor
One News Now ^ | August 24, 2007 | Chad Groening

Texas Governor Rick Perry is being called to task by an author and investigative journalist for vetoing bills that would have blocked construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor.

Dr. Jerome Corsi has been one of the leading voices warning the American public about the consequences of the Trans-Texas Corridor, which will be part of a superhighway -- purported to be four football fields wide -- that will allow Mexican trucks to enter the U.S. and traverse the core of the country all the way to Canada. The best-selling author asserts that Governor Perry cleared the way for construction to begin in his state when he vetoed several bills passed by the Legislature that would have stalled the project.

"Governor Perry has been 100 percent gung-ho in building this road," says Corsi. "The Legislature voted a two-year moratorium, it voted a redefinition of eminent domain -- [and] Governor Perry vetoed them. [On] at least one of those measures, he waited until the Texas Legislature was out of session so it couldn't even override his veto."

Corsi says it is unfortunate that there has been political pressure to get the project started. "The Federal Highway Administration's lawyer wrote letters threatening the Texas Legislature to cut off federal highway funds if they got in the way of this Trans-Texas Corridor," he says.

Corsi believes the same pressure will be applied on other states, like Oklahoma, to go along with the project. He suggests that would mean a loss of more American jobs and could pose a threat to U.S. sovereignty.

I thought it was all Bush’s fault.

And we don’t even own it! Rumor has it that SPAIN is leasing this highway from each individual state. For 100 years!

Obviously global warming is the reason for the need for a highway 4 football fields wide to Canada.

The warming of the frozen wastes of Canada will be a magnet for the migration of hundreds of millions of people from the hot lands of the south.

Or maybe Canadians have an overwhelming need for zillions tons of burritos from Mexico.

This is soooo much bigger than GWB...but he has been a tool used to advance the bipartisan CFR/OBL agenda and if you check out the timeline, much progress has been made.

Is it a coincidence that both Canada and Mexico have elected leadership that will continue to advance this agenda?

Which is the U.S. Presidential candidate? Of course there is one.

But one thing is for certain, we KNOW it is neither Duncan Hunter nor Tom Tancredo!!

It's no rumor, and it's more than just Spain which has leases.

Every politician voting on the road should be forced to disclose their investment portfolios, where they have every nickel and dime squirreled away for retirement. You can be sure money is behind this, big money, big business, and anything collateral to building a road...concrete, warehouses, trucking — think about who might prosper initially. A whole lot of somebodies are drooling over the prospect of lining their pockets bigtime. It’s all about greed.

Construction of Highway in Mexico

The NAFTA Superhighway

Michael Kraft Charlotte Conservative | August 21, 2007

Today the leaders of the three major nations of North America met to discuss a unified North American Union.

Why the president of our nation is looking to set our country back to the pace of our neighbors is beyond me.

President Bush is determined to give away our high quality of life in exchange for a short term underclass.

One of the key elements in this process is the superhighway that will allow for ease of travel from the 51st state (Mexico) through Kansas City to the 52nd state (Canada).

They even have plans for the contract to be given to a spanish construction company. I can only assume this will make it easier to print up the bilingual street signs that would pollute the plains of Kansas.

Add Ron Paul to that list of anti-CFR/OBL'ers, as well.
