North American Union to Replace USA? ("is this the plan?" alert!)

[Dark Skies]

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA to include Canada, setting the stage for North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union:

At their meeting in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005, U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin committed their governments to a path of cooperation and joint action. We welcome this important development and offer this report to add urgency and specific recommendations to strengthen their efforts.

What is the plan? Simple, erase the borders. The plan is contained in a "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" little noticed when President Bush and President Fox created it in March 2005:

In March 2005, the leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States adopted a Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), establishing ministerial-level working groups to address key security and economic issues facing North America and setting a short deadline for reporting progress back to their governments. President Bush described the significance of the SPP as putting forward a common commitment "to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and mutual prosperity and security." The policy framework articulated by the three leaders is a significant commitment that will benefit from broad discussion and advice. The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized.

To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary." 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.

The perspective of the CFR report allows us to see President Bush's speech to the nation as nothing more than public relations posturing and window dressing. No wonder President Vincente Fox called President Bush in a panic after the speech. How could the President go back on his word to Mexico by actually securing our border? Not to worry, President Bush reassured President Fox. The National Guard on the border were only temporary, meant to last only as long until the public forgets about the issue, as has always been the case in the past.

The North American Union plan, which Vincente Fox has every reason to presume President Bush is still following, calls for the only border to be around the North American Union -- not between any of these countries. Or, as the CFR report stated:

The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America. A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be joint screening of travelers from third countries at their first point of entry into North America and the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.

Discovering connections like this between the CFR recommendations and Bush administration policy gives credence to the argument that President Bush favors amnesty and open borders, as he originally said. Moreover, President Bush most likely continues to consider groups such as the Minuteman Project to be "vigilantes," as he has also said in response to a reporter's question during the March 2005 meeting with President Fox.

Why doesn’t President Bush just tell the truth? His secret agenda is to dissolve the United States of America into the North American Union. The administration has no intent to secure the border, or to enforce rigorously existing immigration laws. Securing our border with Mexico is evidently one of the jobs President Bush just won't do. If a fence is going to be built on our border with Mexico, evidently the Minuteman Project is going to have to build the fence themselves. Will President Bush protect America's sovereignty, or is this too a job the Minuteman Project will have to do for him?

>>DOBBS: Border security is arguably the critical issue in this country's fight against radical Islamist terrorism. But our borders remain porous. So porous that three million illegal aliens entered this country last year, nearly all of them from Mexico.

Now, incredibly, a panel sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations wants the United States to focus not on the defense of our own borders, but rather create what effectively would be a common border that includes Mexico and Canada.<<

Gotcha - so you are taking the CNN side.... :)

Seriously, Dobbs is echoing the border issue but I have to wonder who he is really representing. He is smart enough to have actually read the CFR proposal.

Now, if Fox falls in Mexico - we may not have a government there we can work with at all and another approach may be needed. But CFR proposals change over time due to current conditions.

>>And did you just say that you think the President created the homeland security department as part of plot to do away with the U.S. as a nation?

No, but you did.

I asked if you knew where the department of homeland security got its name.<<

Then I apologize for mis-reading you post.

Do you want to go through the document point by point?

[processing please hold]

Well it would help if the CFR proposals actually said anything like what they claim it says.

Such as......

I've done that before and wouldn't mind doing it again. I've delayed going to work as long as possible so it would need to be this evening or over the weekend.

For example, if it said anything about doing away with borders...

That's the only explanation that is consistent with their actions over the last 20 years. In truth, they've all sold us down the river for big business and a one world government which will benefit.... you guessed it.... big business.

Come on, you don't really believe that, do you? Take the VP. If Dick Cheney just cared about money, why did he leave the private sector, in which he was successful? What reason other than the promise of wealth could there be to suck up to Big Business?

Ping!

Here is one little item that absolutely abrogates the right of the american citizen for a constitutional government.

Establish a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution.

page 22.

Open skies and open roads, allowing North American transportation firms unlimited access to each others’ territory.

Now how can you have a sovereign nation when you have no border with other nations?

Tested once’’ for biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

Here's a goodie. Do all your safety testing in Mexico, with no oversight by the American people and our owns safety standards. This is the country that gave California lead in candy a few years back, hepatitus in green onions.

Finally, no controls over immigration because it would just be called 'labor mobility' instead.

The large volume of undocumentedmigrants fromMexico within the United States is an urgent matter for those two countries to address. A long-term goal should be to create a ‘‘North American preference’’—new rules that would make it much easier for employees to move and for employers to recruit across national boundaries within the continent.

No effective national boundaries, no sovereignty.

I didn't see Bush's name anywhere in that quote. Where did you see it?

[F.J. Mitchell]

I know, miss williams, beer for me if ya don't mind.

As I recall daddy Bush more and more of late as his son's actions seem to be following his daddy's footsteps. I keep hearing an echo, over and over: "New world order....New world order.......New world order......."

"I've never thought of Phyllis Schlafly as a tin foil hat kook. Do you?"

Tin foil hat? No opinion there.

Kook? Absolutely!

[Teacher317]

EU organizing, American Union coming along via illegal immigration, South America getting all nutty... does anyone else get the feeling we're just setting up the board for a game of Risk?

(I get the black pieces)

[Rockitz]

Come on, you don't really believe that, do you?

There are lackeys out there that carry the torch - Cheney is one of 'em. That's what they do.

Peggy Noonan addresses it in her article posted yesterday. Click here!

"The other possibility is that the administration's slow and ambivalent action is the result of being lost in some geopolitical-globalist abstract-athon that has left them puffed with the rightness of their superior knowledge, sure in their membership in a higher brotherhood, and looking down on the low concerns of normal Americans living in America."

For example, if it said anything about doing away with borders...

Thank you.

This North American Union contention pops up from time to time.

Events on the ground are making it seem just a bit less like a Conspiracy Theory and a bit more like The NWO Game Plan is right on schedule.

[gidget7]

While I admit to having had this in the back of my mind, that place where you put the "no it couldn't be" matters, and yet not quite able to dismiss outright. I pray it isn't the case.

[Artemis Webb]

You are a total flake.

[mjolnir]

I didn't see Bush's name anywhere in that quote. Where did you see it?

You're right, I was wrong and jumped the gun... And it IS a wacked proposal as virtually everything from the CFR is!

[William Terrell]

Kook?

She certainly is one of the most prolific conservative writers. That's like calling Bill Buckley a kook. In her article link I posted, she links to the CFR document and it says what she says it says. Kinda hard to argue with black and white on parchment.
