Congress debate begins on North America Union
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | September 25, 2007 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 09/25/2007 3:51:50 AM PDT by Man50D

A House resolution urging President Bush "not to go forward with the North American Union or the NAFTA Superhighway system" is – according to its sponsor Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., in an exclusive WND interview – "also a message to both the executive branch and the legislative branch."

As WND previously reported, on Jan. 22 Goode introduced H.C.R. 40, titled "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada."

The bill has been referred to the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

WND asked Goode if the president was risking electoral success for the Republican Party in 2008 with his insistence on pushing for North American integration via the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP.

"Yes," Goode answered. "You won't hear the leadership in the Republic Party admit it, but there are many in the House and Senate who know that illegal immigration has to be stopped and legal immigration has to be reduced. We are giving away the country so a few very rich people can get richer."

How did he react when President Bush referred to those who suggest the SPP could turn into the North American Union as "conspiracy theorists"?

“Unless Texas is getting ready to rip up the roads and tear down the bridges I fail to see why anyone else should be concerned with another road down there.”

It’s a Texas thing. You see, we still believe in private property and not letting the Gov run ruff shod over it’s people.

As far as the TX/MX border crossings, a lot of those have been shut down since 9-11. The major crossings are monitored by the BP. The TTC would use electronic monitoring (EasyPass) and certain frequent travelers would be able to cross unfettered.

"In the House, a strong majority voted to provide no money in the transportation funding bill," Goode responded. "I commend Congressman Duncan Hunter for submitting an amendment to the Department of Transportation funding bill [which] got over 360 votes that said no funds in the transportation appropriation measure, prohibiting Department of Transportation funds from being used to participate on working groups that promote the Security and Prosperity Partnership

As WND reported, Hunter's amendment to the FY 2008 Department of Transportation funding bill prohibiting DOT from using federal funds to participate in SPP working groups creating NAFTA Superhighways passed 362 to 63, with strong bipartisan support. The House approved H.R. 3074 by 268-153, with the Hunter amendment included."

DUNCAN HUNTER, '08

There was an American Revolutionary War (with guns), an American Civil War (with guns) and now we have an American Treason War (with money). If we don’t deal with the Treason, the war is lost, the NAU is a certainty, and the world’s Royal families will have reestablished their positions.

"Inland Ports" are not new. Indianapolis is/has one. It's out at the Indianapolis International Airport.

Columbus, OH has one, and so forth.

Chicago used to ship "sealed containers" which were actually regular railway freight cars, to New York for transport on ships to Poland.

BTW, Chicago is a pretty big "Inland Port" itself ~

>>Wait a minute! How can Congress debate on something that doesn’t exist? I thought the North American Union was just a figment of our imagination as some would lead us to believe?<<

Well, first you need a few paranoid house member and then news outlet willing to publish fake news. O.K., the second one isn’t really that hard to find.

Too bad that the current...and PAST Texas Governors apparently don't seem to subscribe to that creed...

The last one also doesn't seem to believe in Democracy either. Apparently feels that "Money Talks...and the Voters Can Walk!"

The whole NAFTA HIGHWAY hallucination is the most bizarre part of the story ~ I counted 35 different major multi-lane roads connecting Texas to Mexico just a few weeks ago.

As pointed out...those roads are not like what they are using GOVERNMENT to expropriate private land for a SPANISH special interest (foreign tollway business company) to build the new, TTC, TransTexas Corridor, a SUPER HIGHWAY of unparalleled dimensions. Those existing roads are also defended by the Border Patrol. This thing won't be.

Anyways, the Administration has been busy lying by being cute with language. Since THEY don't call what they are doing the "NAFTA SuperHighway" (Which every other sane person does) ...it "doesn't exist". But as the Congressman discovered when the DOT Secretary had to testify:

"The secretary of transportation came before our subcommittee," he explained, "and I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about the NAFTA Superhighway. Of course, she answered, 'There's no NAFTA Superhighway.' But then Mary Peters proceeded to discuss the road system that would come up from Mexico and go through the United States up into Canada."

"So, I think that saying we're 'conspiracy theorists' or something like that is really just a play on words with the intent to demonize the opposition," Goode concluded.

BINGO! Bush has also been swift to demonize conservatives for being "soft bigots" "racist Bigots" "anti-woman Glass ceiling" enforcers, and "anti-Arab" and "just against brown people" and on and on...and use very close proxies when he doesn't feel safe in saying it himself against the American People: "The Loud People"...

Demonizing those of goodwill and different positions is a standard COMMUNIST LEFTIST TACTIC. And I will say point-blank...it's LYING and its UNCHRISTIAN.

It would be nice to shove all that tinfoil they claim that their opposition wears up where the sun doesn't shine in the trilateralist CFR proponents of the NAU scheme.

Bump! Good post.

Thank God there is someone willing to actually call out the White House on this. Calling a Spade a Spade.

For the purposes of truck and rail traffic, it is.

I think it is no coincidence that this all got going after the 2005 Kelo v. City of New London decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Name some names. Let's hear your little list.

And while you are at it, you have some explaining to do. I.e., you have to deal with the fact that DOT Secretary Mary Peters ADMITTED the existence of the Superhighway plan. Under oathe. In public testimony. So the tin-foil aspersionists have to get overthemselves and their cutesy word games. They have been busted. They counted on a pliant Congress snoozing while this was all done until it was presented as a fait accomplice.

Well the Public is awake and calling for action against this President. the more he pushes back with his usual aspersions and proxies...the more livid will be the Public reaction. Just as it was with the Amnesty issue which he gallingly thought he could also word-game away.

I will say point-blank that if he hadn't been pushing his anti-conservative and Globalist Agenda non-stop since '04...he would still have been over 50% approval. And he only has himself to blame. He has done it to himself...

The only people that call those who see this for what it is, tin foil hatters, fall into one of 2 categories.

Either they support it 100% because they are as treasonous as those pushing it through.

Or they are too stupid to see it for what it is.

The NAU as a specific EU-type proposal does not exist. What is being debated is the superhighway, which NAFTA put in place when Slick Willie was still president.

And having said that, let’ skeep in mind that the EU was once just a trade agreement. Coal, IIRC.
