The FTAA Deception--William Norman Grigg


But from the very beginning, the European Union was intended to become a socialist regional government, functioning as an administrative unit of a UN-based global government. This was laid out with commendable candor in the Resolutions on Political Union at the 1948 Congress of Europe: "The creation of a United Europe must be regarded as an essential step towards the creation of a United World."

The FTAA is designed to be nothing less than the Western Hemisphere counterpart to the European Union. The FTAA would enlarge upon the so-called North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, under which the United States, Canada, and Mexico have begun the process of merging our economies and political systems.

In a 2002 address in Madrid, Spain, Mexican President Vicente Fox was remarkably blunt in his description of the purposes to be served by NAFTA and the FTAA: "Eventually our long-range objective is to establish with the United States, but also with Canada, our other regional partner, an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union."

You're correct about the united world thing: http://www.eurplace.org/thehague.congress/history/history-ind.html says that too.

But the FTAA is purely trade and nowhere near the level of inter-governmental unity as laid down in the EU.

Furthermore, don't you think countries grow organically in any case? The US expanded from a strip of land on the east coast to coast-to-coast. It would be inevitable that we (note I emphasis that America would be the dominant force) will take over Canada and Mexico?
