Superhighway a cash cow?
NASCO to collect each time RFID containers tagged

North America’s SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc., or NASCO, has figured out a way to cash in on the Chinese containers passing along the NAFTA Superhighway from the Mexican ports of Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas to U.S. and Canadian destinations.
WND has obtained a copy of a draft preliminary joint venture contract between Savi Networks and NASCO, specifying that NASCO will get paid 25 cents for each “revenue-generating intermodal ocean cargo container” registered by the RFID sensors the communist Chinese are now installing along Interstate 35.
As WND reported, Savi Networks is a joint venture between U.S. military defense contractor Lockheed Martin and Hutchison Ports Holdings, a Chinese ports management company with close ties to the Chinese military and the communists running China’s government.
The idea is for Savi Networks and NASCO to develop an RFID-based corridor management system in which each joint venture partner ultimately will collect payments for the millions of free trade containers they are planning to channel up the I-35 NAFTA Superhighway, as well as other north-south trade corridors currently being planned in the continental United States.
Hutchison Ports Holdings already is paying billions to deepen Mexican ports such as Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas in anticipation of the arrival of container mega-ships capable of holding up to 12,500 containers currently being built for Chinese shipping lines.
The draft contract specifies “Savi Networks will invest capital to implement RFID network systems to provide visibility and security of containers transiting these nodes. In return, Savi Networks will share revenue with NASCO from each Savi Networks ‘container transaction.'”
Chips placed in containers where manufactured goods are shipped from China will be tracked to the Mexican ports where the intermodal containers are unloaded directly onto Mexican trucks and trains for transportation on the I-35 corridor to destinations north.
As WND reported, data captured by the RFID sensors would be sent to a data collection center that NASCO has named “The Center of Excellence.”
The Center of Excellence data collection center will be integrated into Lockheed Martin’s militarized Global Transport Network Command and Control Center that is installed and operating at the Lockheed Martin Center for Innovation or “Lighthouse” facility in Suffolk, Va.
Lockheed Martin’s GTN was developed for the U.S. Department of Defense as an electronic system used to support supply shipments and defense logistics to U.S. armed forces deployed worldwide.
GTN is operated by the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.
The joint venture draft contract specifies Savi Networks will install the RFID sensors along I-35 to establish “a stand alone demonstration of the NASCO-SaviTrak system, able to be demonstrated to key stakeholders, customers, regulators, government funding sources, and other parties critical to the success of the project.”
Name changed to hide ‘Superhighway’?
WND obtains secret document revealing original moniker of ‘SuperCorridor’

A 1998 document which WND has obtained shows the North American SuperCorridor Coalition, or NASCO, was originally named the North American Superhighway Coalition.
The document plays into an emerging debate in which a number of critics, including President Bush, want to deny that a NAFTA “Superhighway” exists.
Christopher Hayes, writing in the Aug. 27 edition of the Nation claimed that, “There is no such thing as a proposed NAFTA Superhighway.”
President Bush at the third summit meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America in Montebello, Quebec, on Aug. 21, answered a question from a reporter at Fox News that NAFTA Superhighways were part of a “conspiracy theory.”
The document involves a June 10, 1998, letter written to Tiffany Newsom, executive director of NASCO, by Francisco J. Conde, editor and publisher of the Conde Report on U.S.-Mexico Relations.
Conde addresses NASCO as North America’s Superhighway Coalition and compliments Newsom and NASCO for supporting the Interstate Highway 35 Corridor Coalition consulting team at David A. Dean & Associates, P.C. and Dean International, Inc.
The letter goes on to note the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, or TEA-21, was signed into law by President Clinton on June 9, 1998.
Conde writes that, “This bill contains for the first time in history a category and funding for trade corridors and border programs.”
He continues, “The I-35 corridor is the strongest and most organized of the corridor initiatives so, if we play our cards right, we stand to get a part of the $700 million.”
NASCO’s original homepage in June 2006 opened with a map highlighting the I-35 corridor from Mexico to Canada.
Conde was referring to a section of TEA-21 devoted to a new National Corridor Planning and Development program, identifying highway corridors that were specifically identified with international trade and a Coordinated Border Infrastructure program designed “to improve the safe and efficient movement of people and goods at or across the U.S./Canadian and U.S./Mexican borders.”
A desire to obtain funds under TEA-21’s corridor initiative may have been responsible for changing NASCO’s name from North America’s Superhighway Coalition to North America’s SuperCorridor Coalition.
Interestingly, combining “SuperCorridor” into one word allowed preserving the correspondence required to continue using “NASCO” as the acronym for the newly renamed organization.
A close reading of NASCO’s website shows NASCO does not deny that a NAFTA Superhighway exists.
NASCO insists on identifying the NAFTA Superhighway with the existing I-35, denying only that plans exist to build a new NAFTA Superhighway.
As WND has previously reported, this point is made clear by a sentence on the NASCO website which states, “There are no plans to build a new NAFTA Superhighway – it exists today as I-35.”
Yet, NASCO has repeatedly refused to repudiate the plans of the Texas Department of Transportation to build the Trans-Texas Corridor as a new four-football-fields wide superhighway corridor parallel to the existing I-35.
“We have assisted in the lobbying effort to bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the NASCO I-35 Corridor, resulting in High Priority Status for I-35 in 1995 under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficacy Act (ISTEA),” the 2005 NASCO website noted. “In addition, we successfully assisted in lobbying for the creation of two new categories under the Transportation Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21) – the National Corridor Planning & Development Program and the Coordinated Border Infrastructure
Program.”
