[SBD1]

It seems our government has decided to take down the SPP Website in recent days. Is it a coincidence that it was taken down around the time Jerome Corsi published this article titled North American Union to Replace USA? on the Human Events Online website??

United States, Mexico and Canada Deliver Initial Security and Prosperity Partnership Report
Jun 28, 2005 News Release
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Department of Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and their government counterparts in Mexico and Canada released yesterday the first report of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) that identifies initial results, key themes and initiatives, and work plans that further promote the security and prosperity of North America.

President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin created the SPP at their March 23 meeting on the Baylor University Campus in Waco, TX. Led at the Ministerial-level, working groups were tasked with an initial report in June and to develop periodic progress reports thereafter. A number of the issues in the SPP report have cross-cutting security and prosperity components.

"Through the Security and Prosperity Partnership, we are building upon the strong relationships between our countries to further our common security goals and achieve transformational improvements," said Secretary Chertoff. "Security and prosperity must go hand in hand, and this partnership will bring their true promise to bear."

"Success in the 21st Century global economy demands a regional strategy," said Secretary Gutierrez. "This report is a blueprint to secure North American leadership in the global economy and makes North America the best place in the world to live and do business."

Among the security goals identified in the report, all three countries have agreed to establish a single, integrated North American Trusted Traveler Program in less than three years. This program will offer a single application portal and enrolled participants will have access to all trusted traveler dedicated lanes at land, air and sea ports of entry.

Key initiatives identified by the prosperity working groups include the development of a coordinated strategy by 2006 to combat counterfeiting and piracy in North America. In addition, the report addresses common principles for e-commerce, streamlining regulation, simplifying trade flows and more cooperation in making air transportation, energy, steel, automotive manufacturing and other economic sectors more competitive. Agreements have also been reached to enhance cooperation on public health and safety protections related to the safety of consumer goods as well as safe international trade opportunities for certain agricultural products.

The Canadian and Mexican ministers who participated in the release of the report in Ottawa, Ontario include Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan, Canadian Minister of Industry David Emerson, Mexico's Secretary of the Economy Fernando Canales and Mexico's Secretary of Governance Carlos Maria Abascal Caranza.

The report released today also reflects input from stakeholders in the private sector as well as state and local governments in all three countries.

That means National ID, right?

Like this:

And from the State Gov Site:

International Driving Permits

Although many countries do not recognize U.S. driver's licenses, most countries accept an international driving permit (IDPs). IDPs are honored in more than 150 countries outside the U.S. (See AAA’s application form for the list of countries. They function as an official translation of a U.S. driver's license into 10 foreign languages.

Oh dear. This is referring to the Food Safety Network. That is who I tracked back the NAIS research to when I first stumpled upon the Healthy People 2010.

NOW I'm really getting worried.

The emphasis on 'stakeholders' comes from the corporatization of government.

It started to become apparent back when Clinton signed the executive order that allowed others to sue over the environment even when they weren't the property owner or hurt by other property owners. Everyone who was a 'stakeholder' could sue, everyone who was a 'stakeholder' could have a say. Before only property owners and those directly affected had that authority.

You will also see that many 'directorates' have been set up through the corporatization of government. Up until the "free traders" got hold of our government and set it up to serve them rather than citizens, we didn't have directorate positions in our government. But we do now. We also have interlocking directorates, which in the name of maintaining a free society should be banned, but under the aegis of "free trade" they are part an parcel of the corporatization of our government.

Everywhere you see a usurpation of individual rights, you will see 'stakeholders' demanding rights that do not belong to them.

“Defence Against Help”: Canada and Transnational Security after 9/11

Excerpt:

This paper examines the series of policy moves made by Canada to make its ‘homeland’ secure enough for the United States to remain open to economic flows across the 49th parallel after 9/11. Rather than being in direct response to the ‘new’ terrorist threat, these policy moves were made in response to Washington’s will. If Ottawa failed to deliver the types of policy changes and innovations expected by Washington, either North American commercial flows would have ground to a halt, or Washington would have “helped” to make Canada more secure. The former outcome would have crippled Canada economically, the latter politically by doing damage to the integrity of the country’s sovereignty. The logic underpinning Canada’s response to 9/11 was therefore the same as that which Nils Ørvik saw as underpinning Canadian defence policy throughout the Cold War. The Canadian response to 9/11 was more of a “defence against help” from the United States, than a defence against Islamic terrorism.

Well, aren't WE stakeholders in any of this?

Or did I misunderstand what you tried to explain?

[hedgetrimmer]

I have yet to figure out how they decide who is a 'stakeholder' and who isn't. Citizenship actually precludes you from the debate sometimes, in my experience.

Clinton used the idea of 'stakeholders' to get around property rights when he created the president's council on sustainable development and his environmental justice EO. Because the law was clear, you could only sue a property owner if you or your property was directly harmed by something that property owner did, he had to change it.

By introducing 'stakeholders' to the legal argument, a 'stakeholder' even if unharmed by a property owners actions could sue. 'Stakeholders' could also be brought into a community to get involved in local issues and be used to force changes there and get control out of the hands of local voters, property owners etc.

New Orleans has plenty of examples, in the discussions about how to rebuild. They would set up charettes in different neighborhoods. The meeting may have some property owners but plenty of 'stakeholders' would arrive, some from as far away as New England. They were used to push 'smart growth' development plans in new orleans and negate the right of the property owner to build what he wanted or do with his property what he wished.

This is from a backgrounder on private property and the United Nations.Please take note of the last paragraph:

(b) Adopt strategic frameworks that allow the integration of both developmental and environmental goals; examples of those frameworks include...the World Conservation Strategy, Caring for the Earth...."2

Between 1976 and 1992 a new strategy for land use control was devised. It is subtle, sinister, and successful. Reread 10.6(e) above: "Encourage the principle of delegating policy-making to the lowest level of public authority consistent with effective action and a locally driven approach." The reference to "public authority" here is not to elected city councils or county commissions. The reference is to newly constituted "stakeholder councils" or other bodies of "civil society" that consist primarily of professionals functioning as representatives of NGOs affiliated with national and international NGOs accredited by the United Nations. This strategy is becoming increasingly effective.

The official report of the UN-funded Commission on Global Governance, Our Global Neighborhood, calls for placing "the global commons" under the direct authority of the UN Trusteeship Council, and defines "global commons" to be: "The atmosphere, outer space, the oceans beyond national jurisdiction and the related environment and life-support systems that contribute to the support of human life."6

Moreover, the UN Trusteeship Council is to be selected from "civil society" representatives. The Commission on Global Governance also calls for the creation of a new "Petitions Council" which would receive petitions from "Stakeholder Councils" in each nation for the purpose of directing the petitions to the correct UN agency for resolution and enforcement actions.



The election process and representative government created by the U.S. Constitution is clearly unacceptable to the PCSD, which wants "civil society" (read: NGO dominated stakeholder councils) to become the local authority for not only land use decisions, but for a variety of other policy decisions as well.
