Oil falls to $63, OPEC plans on cutting supply of oil
AP
October 26, 2008
Oil prices fell to 17-month lows at $63 a barrel Monday in Asia as investors weighed Friday’s OPEC output cut against growing evidence of a severe global economic slowdown that would undermine crude demand.
Light, sweet crude for December delivery fell 32 cents to $63.83 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midday in Singapore.
Investors brushed off a 1.5 million barrel-a-day cut announced by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on Friday, focusing instead on falling crude demand as economies across the globe reel from the impact of a credit crisis.
On Friday, oil fell $3.69 to settle at $64.15. Prices have plunged 57 percent from a record $147.27 on July 11.
“The mood is fairly negative reflecting worry about the international economic outlook,” said David Moore, a commodity strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. “If there is further weak economic data in the U.S. or Europe, prices could come under more downward pressure.”
Iran’s OPEC governor Mohammad Ali Khatibi said Sunday a reduction in production “will be considered” at the group’s next meeting in Algiers in December — a meeting that might even be held early if necessary.
“I thought the OPEC cut was a fairly decisive act, but concerns of recession in the major economies remain dominant,” Moore said. “OPEC’s cut does take a step toward tightening the market.”

Stressed banks borrow record amount from Fed
Reuters
July 31, 2008
Banks borrowed a record amount of funds from the Federal Reserve in the latest week as the year old credit crisis took a persistent toll, while the commercial paper market continued to contract, signaling tough conditions for short term borrowers.
Banks’ primary credit borrowings averaged $17.45 billion per day in the latest week, the second straight week this had hit a record and up from $16.38 billion the previous week, Fed data showed on Thursday.
Zimbabwe Devalues Currency

July 30, 2008
Zimbabwe will drop 10 zeros from its hyper-inflated currency — turning 10 billion dollars into one — the country’s reserve bank said Wednesday. President Robert Mugabe threatened a state of emergency if businesses profiteer from the country’s economic and political unraveling.
Shop shelves are empty and there are chronic shortages of everything including medication, food, fuel, power and water. Eighty percent of the work force is unemployed and many who do have jobs don’t earn enough to pay for bus fare.

U.S. Plans Outline a Subsidized Pan-American Highway
Jones Report
January 8, 2008
U.S. Title Code TITLE 23 > CHAPTER 2 > § 212 provides for the construction and maintenance of the Inter-American Highway program in cooperation with the Governments of the American Republics in Central America (i.e. Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama).
“Title 23 of the US Code as currently published by the US Government reflects the laws passed by Congress as of Jan. 2, 2006.”
Under the code, the United States essentially pays for up to one-third of the total construction costs (depending on each nation’s wealth):
(a) Not to exceed one-third of the appropriation authorized for each fiscal year may be expended without requiring the country or countries in which such funds may be expended to match any part thereof, if the Secretary of State shall find that the cost of constructing said highway in such country or countries will be beyond their reasonable capacity to bear.
The U.S. also agrees to provide all the maintenance costs:
(5) will provide for the maintenance of said highway after its completion in condition adequately to serve the needs of present and future traffic.
The U.S. has cooperated with Latin America on highway systems since the first Pan American Highway Congress in Buenos Aires in 1925, but footing all the costs for infrastructure can’t be a good sign for expanded globalization to come.
This acceleration of hemispheric-consolidation only correlates with the passage CAFTA in the Central American States and the passage of ‘free trade’ agreements with Panama, Peru and Columbia during 2007. Further, Condoleezza Rice and President Bush have hailed the significant steps towards the broader ‘vision’ of a Pan-American Community.
“The founding ideal of our Pan-American Community, borne across many centuries and carried by us still, is the hope that life in the hemisphere would signify a break with the Old World, and a new beginning for all mankind,” Secretary Rice told the C.F.R. and the Organization of American States in October 2007.
“We now have the potential to create an unbroken chain of trading partners from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle,” Rice said to the OAS.
Vicente Fox has also advocated not only the North American Union, but hinted at a unified currency throughout the Americas sometime in the future during an appearance on Larry King Live.
An unbroken chain of trading partners– under ever-expanding ‘free trade’ blocs (yes, an oxymoron)– would certainly go hand-in-hand with an inter-connected, well-maintained highway– but subsidizing the expenses is no route to equal or independent nations inside a community, but rather a formula for guaranteeing centralized regional control.
That’s not to say that free travel and reasonably safe and convenient travel is not a worthwhile goal, but certainly many are concerned about the implications such a smaller hemisphere would mean for employment and wages. Even Mexican farmers are now protesting free trade, illegal immigration and the effects of NAFTA, a position American farmers likely never steered from.
Meanwhile, Mexico has already announced its intention to microchip migrant workers coming from Central and South America and other places.
L. Ronald Scheman, founder of the Pan American Development foundation and Senior Advisor to Kissinger McLarty Associates proposes that opportunities to harmonize the Americas can lead to long-term integration along the same route taken by the E.U.— early on, the E.U. was nothing more than a Coal and Steel Community which eventually solidified unification:
“To him, the strategy was clear. ‘This proposal [for a coal and steel community] has an essential political objective: to make a breach in the ramparts of national sovereignty, which will be narrow enough to secure consent — but deep enough to open the way toward the unity that is essential to peace [and we might add, for our purposes in the Americas, for development].'”

Billionare To Canada: We Need An Amero
World Net Daily
November 27, 2007
Stephen Jarislowsky, a billionaire money manager and investor the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail bills as the Canadian Warren Buffet, has told a parliamentary committee Canada and the United States both should abandon their national dollar currencies and move to a regional North American currency as soon as possible.
“I think we have to really seriously start thinking of the model of a continental currency just like Europe,” Jarislowsky told the Canadian House of Commons’ finance committee, according to the Globe and Mail in Toronto.
Jarislowsky’s call for immediate action belied an article published in the Boston Globe on Sundaythat said the call for the amero to become the new North American regional currency was “purely theoretical.”
Consider a Continental Currency, Jarislowsky says

Denying the North American Union
Kurt Nimmo
TruthNews
November 26, 2007
Now that Alex Jones, Jerome Corsi, and others have exposed the plot to establish a “North American community,” that is to say eradicate the national sovereignty of the United States, Canada, and Mexico in favor of a “United Nations of America” based on the European Union, the corporate media and globalist apologists have kicked into over-drive with a propaganda effort to deny reality.
“Nobody is proposing a North American Union,” declared Robert Pastor, correctly identified as the father of the NAU and author of “Towards a North American Community: Lessons from the Old World for the New,” a book published by the Council on Foreign Relations Press in association with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales. Pastor may insist the elite of the three countries, at the behest of transnational corporations, are not interested in a merged superstate, but his argument betrays the fact the former national security advisor dreams of an American version of the European Union.
Pastor is an advocate of NAFTA on steroids, or “NAFTA Plus.” According to Miguel Pickard, in “the early 1990s, when NAFTA negotiators were still wrangling over arcane language, Pastor was proposing ways to ‘improve’ the treaty. According to Pastor, NAFTA was off to a bad start, since negotiators were mostly seeking to dismantle trade tariffs. For Pastor it was crucial to find ways of integrating the three countries, similarly (but with important differences) to what the Europeans had done since the 50s. Years later, Pastor would bemoan that NAFTA’s promise had gone unfulfilled, since it lacked a ‘grand vision’ for the three countries, i.e., a much richer perspective than the emphasis put on trade.” In other words, NAFTA was simply a trade treaty minus the “grand vision” of global integration.
But there is a problem with Pastor’s “grand vision,” namely the people of the United States, Canada, and Mexico are reluctant to give up their national sovereignty.
Pastor, in a conversation with Jerome R. Corsi, “was careful to distinguish that his proposals were designed to create a North American Community and that he never has proposed to create a North American Union as an EU-style regional government,” thus Pastor’s insistence “nobody is “proposing a North American Union.”
But this is, to say the least, deceptive. “The idea seems to be to put new structures in place that change the look of the landscape,” writes Corsi. “[WorldNetDaily] pointed out to Pastor that this step-by-step approach is the same approach taken to create the European Union. The memoirs of Jean Monnet, regarded as the architect of European unity, finally disclosed he had used a strategy of deceit, knowing his plan to form a European Union would never succeed if it were openly disclosed.”
“Pastor in an article entitled ‘NAFTA is Not Enough,’ argued for an incremental process that could head toward the creation of the NAU, all the while providing cover for participating politicians and governments to deny that creating the NAU was their goal,” Corsi argues in a News with Views editorial. In the article, Pastor provides key details on how this stealth process works:
While the three governments of North America are unlikely to step into the debate on long-term goals at the current time, nongovernmental organizations, research institutes, and universities should fill the void with new ideas and old-fashioned cross-border dialogue.
Short of this sort of shadowy incrementalism, the NAU project may be dropped on the fast track by other means, according to Corsi. “Dr. Pastor seems to prescribe that a fear formula is all that is needed for the American people need to begin begging SPP to produce the NAU right now. Pastor openly writes as if the next 9/11 terrorist attack or a future outbreak of some health epidemic such as the avian flu could be just what the NAU doctor ordered as the prescription for the American people to abandon sovereignty in favor of super-regional government control, all in the interest of ‘security’ leading to ‘prosperity.’ Or, is it ‘prosperity’ which necessitates more ‘security’ via surrender to Big Brother government?”
In predictable fashion, the corporate media is tasked with characterizing those who document the emerging NAU as tinfoil hatters, nut cases, mental patients, conspiracy theorists, etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT4tBvRDy38
For instance, neocon Charles Krauthammer told Fox News: “I love this stuff because if you ever doubt your own sanity, all you have to do is read this stuff and realize that you’re okay” (see video), while “conservative” Michael Medved lamented what he calls the “paranoid and groundless frenzy… fomented and promoted by a shameless collection of lunatics and losers; crooks, cranks, demagogues and opportunists, who claim the existence of a top secret master plan to join the U.S., Canada and Mexico in one big super-state,” never mind the above, well-documented. “I’m sorry to sound cynical and intolerant about this stupidity, but I’m furious, actually – ashamed to be part of a proud medium (conservative talk radio) that increasingly encourages this paralyzing, puerile paranoia,” apparently a reference to Alex Jones and others who continue to flesh out the “incremental” conspiracy Medved refuses to acknowledge.
Drake Bennett writes for the Boston Globe:
Government officials say a continental union is out of the question, and economists and political analysts overwhelmingly agree that there will not be a North American Union in our lifetimes. But belief in the NAU — that the plans are very real, and that the nation is poised to lose its independence — has been spreading from its origins in the conservative fringe, coloring political press conferences and candidate question-and-answer sessions, and reaching a kind of critical mass on the campaign trail. Republican presidential candidate and Texas congressman Ron Paul has made the North American Union one of his central issues.
Government officials of the sort, no doubt, that told us Saddam Hussein was about use weapons of mass destruction against the United States or that the air at Ground Zero in New York was safe to breathe.
Finally, it is no mistake the Boston Globe has rolled Ron Paul into its diatribe of transparent denial, as Paul must be roundly discredited and characterized as a kook, primarily because a Paul presidency would most certainly put an end to Robert Pastor’s dream of an American version of the European Union once and for all.

IMF Badmouths The Dollar In Open Attack On American Middle Class
As part of broader elitist strategy to lower living standards and create two-caste Chinese model
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
October 19, 2007
Mirroring recent rhetoric from Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke and Henry Paulson, the IMF has publicly badmouthed the dollar, claiming it is “overvalued” despite the fact it has lost over half of its value against the Euro since 2001, and predicts its plunge as part of a broader strategy to sink the American middle class.
Countering the pleas of the French and other eurozone countries, who have been forced to beg Bernanke to restore some trust in the greenback as EU exports begin to feel the bite, the IMF has openly and enthusiastically given the green light for traders to continue to sell the dollar.
“The Fund thinks that the US current account deficit will remain close to 1.5 per cent of world output until 2012, raising the likelihood of a disorderly plunge in the dollar and protectionism growing over the next few years,” reports the Financial Times.
In their World Economic Outlook brief, the IMF brazenly states that the agenda in continually badmouthing the dollar is to exalt the Chinese Renminbi in order to contribute to “a necessary rebalancing of demand and to an orderly unwinding of global imbalances.”
In layman’s terms, this means lowering the living standards of the American middle class by tanking the dollar and sending oil prices skyrocketing towards $200, as part of the “post-industrial revolution” agreed upon by the Bilderberg Group. This would eviscerate the middle class and create a two-caste system based upon the Chinese model, where the super-rich live in opulence and the rest of the population are forced to struggle on the poverty line.
With the effects of the credit crunch hitting more and more lower level lenders, it is clear to see that the fallout is spreading and propagating a general decline. We are seeing the unfolding of an overall meltdown that represents a gutting of the United States by neo-mercantilist institutions bent on the formation of a new global monopoly.
The ceaseless bad-mouthing of the dollar in public is clearly part of an orchestrated move to destroy the U.S. economy and pave the way for the Euro to become the world’s reserve currency, eventually heralding the birth of the Amero – the currency of the North American Union.
Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has also been active trashing the greenback over the last two months, in September stating that the Euro would replace the dollar as the global reserve currency of choice.
Also last month, Congressman Ron Paul slammed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for deliberately depreciating the value of the dollar to artificially bail out Wall Street while poor and middle class people lose their homes and have their living standards lowered (watch below).

Paul questioned how it could ever be morally justifiable to deliberately depreciate the dollar and pointed out the fact that the dollar collapse was a deliberate policy on behalf of the Fed.
We are witnessing the unfolding of a crash precisely as former World Bank Vice President, Chief Economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz predicted last year.

Trade Agreements for Peru, Colombia and Panama Have ‘Concluded’ Forming an “Unbroken Chain of Trading Partners from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle” that Will “Level” U.S. Wages
Aaron Dykes
Jones Report
October 16, 2007
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made remarks at the C.F.R. hosted Organization of American States event on October 9 that the “concluded” trade agreements with Peru, Colombia and Panama are a significant step towards the broader ‘vision’ of a Pan-American Community.
“The founding ideal of our Pan-American Community, borne across many centuries and carried by us still, is the hope that life in the hemisphere would signify a break with the Old World, and a new beginning for all mankind… and the creation of a new system of international politics, based on mutual respect and cooperation among independent nations.”
The agreements would break down more than 80% of tariffs in respect to each of the three countries for both exports and imports and would include more than $17 billion in debt relief– extending action already taken under the Millennium Challenge Corporation in 2004-2005.
These agreements come just after the passage of CAFTA, rapidly bringing ten additional countries into a hemispheric trade bloc (on top of existing trade blocs MERCOSUR and CAN).
“We now have the potential to create an unbroken chain of trading partners from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic Circle,” Rice told the OAS.
“Today, we are making a similar strategic commitment in our hemisphere, to the success of our Pan-American Community. This commitment was begun in the last decade by leaders of both parties. Now it is being advanced further.”
Since the executive branch lost fast-track renewal in June, the trade agreements must be passed by Congress, but Rice indicated that bipartisan support has already been arranged by way of “43 prominent Democrats– former ambassadors, cabinet officials, policy experts and members of Congress.”
President Bush mirrored Rice’s optimism about bipartisan support for the agreements, which also include South Korea, citing former Secretary Shalala (and dozens of her Democratic colleagues): “Latin America is up for grabs. We fully recognize that asking the United States Congress to vote on these trade agreements is politically charged. Nonetheless, rejecting these agreements would set back regional U.S. interests for a generation. We must not walk away now.”
However, a recent poll shows that 6-in-10 Republican voters now “believe free trade is bad for the U.S. economy” — which brings Republicans in-line with the standing views of Democrats.
Condoleezza Rice warned against the message it would send internationally if the trade agreements didn’t go through, and asked that U.S. workers facing “dislocation” and “insecurity” ‘update their skills’ and pursue “retraining,” suggesting the role of ‘community college’ in “giving people a second or even a third or sometimes a fourth start on a different kind of career.”
The frightening suggestion of American job degradation was also echoed by Bush’s remarks on the new trade agreements.
“And yet, many of our citizens feel uneasy about competition, and they worry that trade will cost jobs. I understand that if you’re forced to change a job halfway through a career it can be painful for your family. I know that. And that is why I’m a big believer in trade adjustment assistance that helps Americans make the transition from one job to the next…the community college system, for example, to be able to train that person for jobs which actually exist.” [emphasis added]
Secretary Rice added, “if we don’t, then we’re going to remain fearful and closed”– clearly valuing ‘free trade’ above any semblance of protection for middle-America jobs, despite her claim it will actually benefit workers:
“These trade agreements will benefit U.S. workers and businesses, enabling them to compete on a level playing field in new markets, to create jobs and opportunity in our nation, and to address the wealth of all in our economy.”
The meaning of ‘a level playing field’ was not clarified, but perhaps it relates to former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan’s recent call for lowering U.S. wages and opening the borders on David Letterman’s Late Show:
“We ought to be opening up our borders to skilled labor from all parts of the world because if we were to do that we would increase the supply of skilled workers that our schools have been unable to create and as a consequence of that we would lower the average wage of skills and reduce the degree of income inequality in this country.”
Secretary Rice focused on the “democratic” unity amongst the countries in trade agreement and warned against sending a “signal” of “retreat” by rejecting the agreements.
“Building on the foundation that Presidents Bush and Clinton laid with NAFTA, we have concluded trade agreements with ten additional countries… a community that now includes Costa Rica, whose people voted just two days ago to approve CAFTA.”
Costa Rica narrowly passed CAFTA in a referendum that has already been contested, sealing the trade pact with El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and the United States. More than 150,000 Costa Ricans protested the agreement and the Los Angeles Times and AlterNet reported that voting was under ‘duress,’ including a campaign of threats and pressure, according to a leaked memo:
The memo, as the Los Angeles Times described it, “outlined a campaign of dirty tricks intended to sway voters.” This included telling mayors that their cities would “not get a penny from the government for the next three years” if they did not deliver a majority of voters for CAFTA. In the words of the memo, the government also needed to “stimulate fear” among the voters, including “fear of the loss of jobs.”
The Bush Administration joined the campaign to “stimulate fear,” with the U.S. Ambassador threatening that Costa Rica could lose some of it existing access to U.S. markets if the voters reject CAFTA.
Rice and Bush brushed aside worries about the three Latin American nations, particularly the narco-state Colombia, citing the strength of their democratic values– and hanging it in the balance with Cuba and unnamed “authoritarian” states with “state-run economies” (i.e. Venezuela).
“In truth, this is a backward-looking agenda with a long history of deepening poverty and misery. The real revolution in the Americas today is being led by responsible democratic leaders, like Bachelet and Lula, Vazquez and Uribe, Garcia and Torrijos, Calderon and Saca.
Their democratic governments, and many others, from left to right, are deepening the Pan-American consensus on creating opportunity for all through free markets, economic growth and democracy.”
Rice argues for Colombia’s “trajectory of positive change,” calling its ‘76% reduction in kidnappings,’ ‘40% drop in murder rate‘ and ‘61% fewer terrorist attacks‘ one of the “greatest victories for the cause of human rights in our world today.
President Bush was just as willing to forgive Colombia’s dark record. “Some in Congress have expressed concern over violence in Colombia …Colombia’s record is not perfect, but the country is clearly headed in the right direction — and is asking for our help.”
Bush even cited Canada’s leader as a selling point.
As Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada put it, “If the United States turns its back on its friends in Colombia, this will set back our cause far more than any Latin American dictator could hope to achieve.”
Similar broad strokes were made for the sins of Peru and Panama, hoping to keep such issues off the radar of most Americans.
Yet, former Mexican President Vicente Fox– who also signed the Security & Prosperity Partnership for North America (SPP)— has been recently parading calls for a North American Union and a unified NAFTA currency.
Drastic measures towards large-scale regional government are happening overnight and yet there is almost no discussion whatsoever. Beyond the elites and their controlled media, there is little outcry and scarcely more than a whisper of announcement.

Vicente Fox admits that he and George W. Bush have ‘agreed’ on common currency, North American Union
Webwire
October 10, 2007
Los Angeles, CA (Oct. 10, 2007) — Speaking on the Larry King show, former Mexican President Vicente Fox confirmed every assertion made by Jerome Corsi in his new book, NY Times bestseller “The Late Great U.S.A: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada” (WND Books, ISBNs 0-9790451-4-2, $25.95, July 2007). Not only did Fox admit that he and George W. Bush have “agreed” to create a common currency, the Amero, he contended that a North American Union is “inevitable” That’s something that Jerry Corsi takes issue with while applauding Fox’s openness on national television.
“At last we have public confirmation of the pernicious secret activity that’s been going on towards merging Mexico, Canada and the United States” declares Corsi, whose book became a bestseller shortly after publication. “Personally, I’d like to thank Vincente Fox. His candor about this merger is what’s going to stop it dead in its tracks”
Corsi continues, “Fox’s appearance with Larry King and, of all places, on The Daily Show constitutes the first time a leader of Mexico, Canada or the U.S. has openly confirmed a plan to create a regional currency called the Amero — a plan I document in detail in ‘The Late Great U.S.A.'” Fox went on to explain how current regional trade agreements between the United States and its hopelessly corrupt neighbor to the south are intended to evolve into other previously hidden aspects of North American integration.
As reported in WorldNetDaily, Larry King, near the end of the broadcast, asked Fox a question e-mailed from a listener: “I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency”
Fox answered in the affirmative, admitting he and George W. Bush had “agreed” to pursue the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas – a free-trade zone extending throughout the Western Hemisphere – and that part of the plan was to institute a regional currency from Canada to the tip of South America!
“Long term, very long term” he said. “What we proposed together, President Bush and myself, it’s ALCA, which is a trade union for all the Americas”
According to Corsi, Fox has indeed performed a public service. “George W. Bush is president of the United States, not king. He has utterly no right to enter into any such agreement with a foreign country, particularly a hostile one” During Fox’s tenure as Mexican president, millions of Mexicans entered the United States illegally. In Corsi’s view, this constitutes an invasion that has cost American taxpayers billions of dollars while destroying schools and bankrupting hospitals and municipal governments across the country…and is only a taste of what a merger would bring.
“Finally” says the author of “The Late Great U.S.A” “here is unequivocal proof, straight from the mouth of Mexico’s former president, that Bush’s goal is to erode United States sovereignty in order to create free movement for Mexico’s peasant class across our border, in the process flooding us with even more anchor babies and illiterates ready and willing to take advantage of our country’s all-too-generous welfare programs”
Mexico’s invasion of America can and must be stopped, but in order to do so, every citizen must rise up and demand an end to it. “George W. Bush has been bought lock, stock and barrel by the elite and multi-national corporations pushing for a merger with Mexico, but he has utterly no right under the Constitution to push for a merger of the U.S with Mexico or any other country”
Fox’s comments are part and parcel of Mexico’s ongoing campaign to destroy American sovereignty to its benefit. “Going by what Fox has said on national television, it’s clear that Mexico has declared war on the United States” Corsi asserts. “It’s the only way such words can be interpreted. Since Bush has no interest in protecting our interests, and since all too few legislators have stepped up to condemn a North American Union and shared currency, it’s up to we the people”
Thanks to Corsi’s book “The Late Great U.S.A” “more and more patriotic Americans are learning the truth about our ‘good neighbor’ to the south, the one George W. Bush can’t do enough for at the expense of every American’s future. In just two unguarded interviews, Vincente Fox has confirmed every aspect of the ugly future that I’ve laid out in “The Late Great U.S.A” It’s past time we put a stop to his dream – and George W. Bush’s”

Vicente Fox Admits Plan For Single NAFTA Currency
Former Mexican president wants North American Union based on EU
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
October 9, 2007
Mexico’s former president, Vicente Fox, made an astounding admission last night on CNN’s Larry King Live when he acknowledged the plan for a NAFTA single currency, a “euro-dollar” as King labeled it.
Fox also vowed to help unite the Americas beyond a trade agreement, following what he described as “a new vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA”.
The comments follow Fox’s appearance on The Daily Show in which he advocated the creation of a North American Union based on the model of the European Union.
Watch the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYGrn0hZlCQ
KING: E-mail from Mrs. Gonzalez in Elizabeth, New Jersey. “Mr. Fox, I would like to know how you feel about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency?”
FOX: Long term, very long term. What we propose together, President Bush and myself, it’s ALCA, which is a trade union for all of the Americas. And everything was running fluently until Hugo Chavez came. He decided to isolate himself. He decided to combat the idea and destroy the idea…
KING: It’s going to be like the euro dollar, you mean?
FOX: Well, that would be long, long term. I think the processes to go, first step into is trading agreement. And then further on, a new vision, like we are trying to do with NAFTA.

In a recent appearance on The Daily Show With John Stewart, Fox also expressed his desire for a North American Union based on the model of the European Union.

’Amero coming within decade’
Strategist expects currency changes as Canadian dollar matches greenback
Jerome R. Corsi
World Net Daily
October 5, 2007
A commemorative amero coin |
BankIntroductions.com, a Canadian company that specializes in global banking strategies and currency consulting, is advising clients that the amero may be the currency of North America within the next 10 years.
“The amero would compete against other regional currency blocks,” BankIntroductions.com says. “At present, with the Canadian dollar approaching par, more talk for an amero currency unit will become popular in Canada.”
The company says that with the successful implementation of NAFTA, “the one dragging component for the amero will be Mexico, but in time this will change.”
“Implementation of the amero currency may actually give Mexico an economic boost, thus helping to alleviate Mexican immigration pressures into the United States for those Mexicans seeking financial gain,” BankIntroductions.com advises.
“The amero one day may well be circulating throughout North America.”
Matt Bell, president of BankIntroductions.com, told WND in an e-mail to “feel free to quote our currency research on Canada. Our general opinion on the amero stands as stated.”
As WND reported, coin designer Daniel Carr has issued for sale a series of private-issue fantasy pattern amero coins that have drawn attention on the Internet.
WND also reported the African Union is moving down the path of regional economic integration, with the African Central Bank planning to create the “Gold Mandela” as a single African continental currency by 2010.
The Council on Foreign Relations also has supported regional and global currencies designed to replace nationally issued currencies.
In an article in the May/June issue of Foreign Affairs, entitled “The End of National Currency,” CFR economist Benn Steil asserted the dollar is a temporary currency.
Steil concluded “countries should abandon monetary nationalism,” moving to adopt regional currencies, on the road to a global “one world currency.”
WND previously reported Steve Previs, a vice president at Jeffries International Ltd. in London, said the amero “is the proposed new currency for the North American Community which is being developed right now between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.”
A video clip of the CNBC interview in November with Jeffries is now available at YouTube.com.
WND also has reported a continued slide in the value of the dollar on world currency markets could set up conditions in which the adoption of the amero as a North American currency gains momentum.

Bush Does Not Deny North American Union
WND
August 22, 2007
MONTEBELLO, Quebec — President Bush today sidestepped a direct question about whether he’d be willing to categorically deny there is a plan to create the North American Union.
Instead, he ridiculed those who believe that is taking place as conspiracy theorists.
The exchange came at a news conference held by Bush, Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon, and Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who met at a resort in the rural woods outside of Ottawa, Quebec, to discuss their latest work on the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
After the trio presented their prepared statement about the SPP, several reporters who had been selected in advance were allowed to ask questions.
When it came time for a question from a Fox News reporter, Bush was asked if he would be willing to categorically deny that there is a plan to create a North American Union, or that there are plans to create NAFTA Superhighways.
“As you three leaders meet here, there are a growing number of people in each of your countries who have expressed concern about the Security and Prosperity Partnership. This is addressed to all three of you. Can you say today that this is not a prelude to a North American Union, similar to a European Union? Are there plans to build some kind of superhighway connecting all three countries? And do you believe all of these theories about a possible erosion of national identity stem from a lack of transparency from this partnership?” was the question, according to a White House transcript.
Reporters at the news conference said he sidestepped, instead adopting the tactic that those who are arguing the European Union model of integrating nations into a larger continental union is being used in North America should be ridiculed.
He called it an old political scare tactic, to try to create a wild conspiracy and then demand that those who “are not engaged” prove that it isn’t happening.
Bush’s answer was:
“We represent three great nations. We each respect each other’s sovereignty. You know, there are some who would like to frighten our fellow citizens into believing that relations between us are harmful for our respective peoples. I just believe they’re wrong. I believe it’s in our interest to trade; I believe it’s in our interest to dialogue; I believe it’s in our interest to work out common problems for the good of our people.
“And I’m amused by some of the speculation, some of the old — you can call them political scare tactics. If you’ve been in politics as long as I have, you get used to that kind of technique where you lay out a conspiracy and then force people to try to prove it doesn’t exist. That’s just the way some people operate. I’m here representing my nation. I feel strongly that the United States is a force for good, and I feel strongly that by working with our neighbors we can a stronger force for good.
“So I appreciate that question. I’m amused by the difference between what actually takes place in the meetings and what some are trying to say takes place. It’s quite comical, actually, when you realize the difference between reality and what some people are talking on TV about.”
Harper joined in. There’s not going to be any NAFTA Superhighway connecting the three nations, he said, and it’s “not going to go interplanetary either,” he said.
Harper said the SPP discussions that were held concerned such pressing issues as jelly beans. He said the business interests expressing their desires for progress on the SPP noted there were different standards in the United States and Canada, and there was a discussion about whether those standards could be made uniform for the U.S. and Canada.
Bush’s comments echoed the comments published just a day earlier in the Ottawa Citizen by David Wilkins, the U.S. ambassador to Canada.
“While conspiracy theories abound, you can take it to the bank that no one involved in these discussions is interested in, or has ever proposed, a ‘North American Union,’ a ‘North American super highway,’ or a ‘North American currency,'” he wrote.
“The United States, Canada and Mexico are three distinct, sovereign countries that practice democracy differently,” he wrote. “Each proudly defends its own interests. But our leaders also recognize that we share a continent in this post-Sept. 11 world, where terrorism is but one threat. We have a vested interest in working together to prevent potential threats outside North America — like those posed by pandemic flu or improperly labeled foods, for example — from penetrating our borders.
Wilkins wrote that the nations also are “exploring ways to detect radiological threats and coordinating emergency efforts along our borders in the event of a man-made or natural disaster. It just makes sense when you share thousands of miles of common border to share a common emergency-management plan.”
He said another goal is to reduce the cost of doing business across national borders.
However, Jerome Corsi, a Harvard Ph.D. whose newly published book, “The Late Great USA,” uses the government’s own documentation to show the advance of a North American Union, said ridicule is the “last resort of someone who is losing an argument.”
Such tactics, Corsi said, “underestimate the intelligence of people listening, and people realize that the argument wasn’t answered.”
At the news conference, he noted, Bush failed to respond to the Fox News question with a denial of the plans for a North American Union.
And, Corsi said, “Bush did not address the fact that Texas Gov. Rick Perry vetoed a two-year moratorium on the Trans-Texas Corridor project,” believed to be the starting point for an eventual continent-wide grid of NAFTA Superhighways.
“Just to ridicule the idea, when he had a change to categorically deny it, raises doubts in peoples’ minds, especially when these meetings aren’t transparent,” Corsi added.
The meeting this week, which focused on economic issues, was attended by representatives of dozens of multinational corporations anxious to have their manufacturing and sales processes smoothed.
However, Corsi said, “not one person who objects is permitted inside the room.”
At the same time, Bush did affirm that there is a plan under consideration for the United States to provide military assistance to Mexico’s military in its battles in the drug war, although officials were not ready to announce what that plan includes.
The three national leaders simply affirmed that drug trade is a continental problem and would demand a continental solution.
The formal statement from the three leaders referred to the “opportunities and challenges facing North America and [the need] to establish priorities for our further collaboration.”
They said the three nations already have agreed to a North American plan for avian and pandemic influenza, a “Regulatory Cooperation Framework,” an intellectual property action strategy and a “Trilateral Agreement for Cooperation in Energy Science and Technology.”
“The North American Competitiveness Council (NACC), announced last year in Cancun, has provided us with thoughtful recommendations on how we could strengthen the competitive platform for business,” the statement said.
The statement said the Regulatory Cooperation Framework will allow various rules to be streamlined across borders.
“In the coming year, we ask our ministers to consider work in areas, such as the chemicals, automotive, transportation, and information and communications technology sectors,” the statement said.
And the Intellectual Property Action Strategy “also gives us an invaluable tool for combating counterfeiting and piracy, which undermine innovation, harm economic development and can have negative public-health and safety implications,” the three said.
Food safety and border security also were discussed. “Our governments will continue to address the safety of food and products imported into North America, while facilitating the significant trade in these products that our countries already have and without imposing unnecessary barriers to trade,” the leaders said.
“It is sometimes best to screen goods and travelers prior to entry into North America. We ask our ministers to develop mutually acceptable inspection protocols to detect threats to our security, such as from incoming travelers during a pandemic and from radiological devices on general aviation,” the statement said.
But protesters who staged events in Ottawa as the meetings were moving forward, warned of the integration and harmonizing the SPP seeks.
“The SPP is pursuing an agenda to integrate Mexico and Canada in closed-door sessions that are getting underway today in Montebello,” Howard Phillips, the chairman of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, told an earlier press conference in Ottawa.
“We are here to register our protest,” Phillips added, “along with the protests of thousands of Americans who agree with us that the SPP is a globalist agenda driven by the multi-national corporate interests and intellectual elite who together have launched an attack upon the national sovereignty of the United States, Canada and Mexico.”
Connie Fogel, head of the Canadian Action Party, agreed with Phillips.
“Canadians are complaining that the SPP process lacks transparency,” Fogel told the press conference. “Transparency is a major issue, but even if the SPP working groups were open to the public, we would still object to their goal to advance the North American integration agenda at the expense of Canadian sovereignty.”
