Heidi Cruz's work for the Council on Foreign Relations: Building a North American Community
The Council on Foreign Relations ^ | HEIDI S. CRUZ, and other task force members

Posted on 05/15/2015 9:37:25 AM PDT by Jack Black

The Task Force offers a detailed and ambitious set of proposals that build on the recommendations adopted by the three governments at the Texas summit of March 2005.

The Task Force’s central recommendation is the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity.Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.

Shared challenge of uneven economic development. A fast lane to development is crucial for Mexico to contribute to the security of the entire region. Mexico’s development has failed to prevent deep disparities between different regions of the country, and particularly between remote regions and those better connected to international markets. Northern states have grown ten times faster than those in the center and south of the country. Lack of economic opportunity encourages unauthorized migration and has been found to be associated with corruption, drug trafficking, violence, and human suffering. Improvements in human capital and physical infrastructure in Mexico, particularly in the center and south of the country, would knit these regions more firmly into the North American economy and are in the economic and security interest of all three countries. Leaders in our three countries have acknowledged

SCP: This article should give you some more context and information about the true role of Heidi Cruz when she worked with the CFR.

Ha ha ha. Is that what you call it. "Context and information". I call it invective and spin. As regards my posting, once again:

Cruz is Elizabeth Warren’s dream opponent.

I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America.

You emphasized the wrong sentence. Here is the take away from the sole contribution by Heidi Cruz to that document:

.... Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. ...

Cruz is Elizabeth Warren’s dream opponent.

Probably true, because Warren's one note pitch is against big bankers, and Heidi has worked for both Merrill Lynch and Goldman-Sachs (which she is currently on leave from to support Ted's campaign).

But, I don't think that Warren is going to run.

Hillary may well choose not to throw that stone, she's living in a glass house. Her son-in-law is a hedge-fund trader / millionaire and the son of a convicted Wall Street tycoon and former Congressman. Pretty amazing, when you stop and think about it.

If you weren’t so wrong, you would not be so defensive.

•Dragging the John Birch Society into this discussion is way off target, THAT is the real smear. Very SPLC like. Link any negative comments about your favored candidate to a widely disliked group.

Why?

It was an apt description of the tactics and behavior of Dewhurst and his team.

Wrong about what?

Wrong to provide a link to the CFR Report that Heidi Cruz worked on and endorsed?

This is the wrong thing to post on FR because we have already decided, as a group, that Ted Cruz is our candidate and we don't wish to entertain any information which contradicts our preconceptions about him?

Is that why?

I don't feel there is anything wrong with providing this information, which I did in the most neutral way possible (neutral / factual title, no editorializing).

It's a sad day when Freepers are supporting the idea that factual background on Conservative candidates is a bad thing to share. The idea of "hate facts", that is ideas or knowledge which while true are too scary to share, used to be confined to the left.

Good grief. You are nuts.

I present primary source documents, just facts.
You respond with invective and insults.
It is you are rude and inarticulate.
Maybe work on that, next time try addressing the topic of the discussion. If you don't have anything intelligent to say on the topic, well as the old adage goes: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Apologies this in not exactly a CW2 themed post, but I feel it's important information that many here on FR will be interested in.

No 'pologies necessary from my point of view. It may not directly be a CWII analysis, but it surely counts as backgrounder info.

Yes, I do tend to get defensive when I’m called names, accused of lying, and have my integrity challenged. I’m not a little man-boy who takes things like that without defending myself. Get used to it.

Thanks Archy! Long time since I've seen you in the comments section, nice to see you on the forum.

Thank you for the link to your article.

The John Birch Society opposes Cruz for one and only one reason: he is pro-Israel. The Birchites consider Israel to be the "Vatican" of the "new world order" and hate it with a passion. Never mind that they supported Rhodesia and South Africa which were in the exact same position. Rhodesia and South Africa were good white chrstian nations but Israel is The Land of Mordor Where the Shadows Lie.

Shame on all Jew-haters . . . without distinction!

This has nothing to do with the the John Birch Society, that's a smear and name calling to deflect the actual facts.

Yes it does. You are spreading a smear about a solid conservative because he is pro-Israel and therefore sinister. And to think I actually had second thoughts about my characterization of you after that last racialist/pagan article you posted.

So who do you want . . . Buchanan or Ron Paul? Or perhaps Willis Carto???
