Mexican violence spirals as 69 are murdered in one day
UK Telegraph
January 12, 2010
The grim total included 26 deaths in Ciudad Juarez, the city on the US border which is regarded as the front line in Mexico’s fight against the cartels. Several of the victims there were beheaded.
The raging battle between rival drug gangs also reached a gruesome new low as a murder victim in the northern city of Los Mochis had his face sliced off and stitched onto a football.
It was accompanied by a note which said: “Happy New Year, because it will be your last”. The torso and limbs of the victim, Hugo Hernandez, 36, had been cut into seven parts which were dumped separately along with his skull.
In another shocking case the remains of a 41-year-old former police officer were found hidden in two separate ice chests.
A total of 283 people are believed to have died in drug-related violence in Mexico in the first 10 days of this year, which is more than double the number during the same period in 2009.
In Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas, there were 102 killings in the first 10 days of the year, compared to 46 in that period last year. There were more than 2,500 victims in the city in the whole of 2009.
The explosion in violence comes three years after President Felipe Calderón declared war on the drug cartels.
He has since deployed 50,000 troops in a nationwide crackdown but has failed to stem the tide and 15,000 people have died since late 2006.
Last year was the bloodiest so far with more than 6,500 drug-related killings, according to the San Diego-based Trans-Border Institute which keeps death tallies.
Director David Shirk said: “It does appear that the violence has grown exponentially.”
However, the government has had recent successes against seven of the eight major drug cartels.
The most high profile was the killing of cartel boss Arturo Beltran Leyva in a firefight with the military south of Mexico City last month.
Another drug kingpin, Teodoro “El Teo” Garcia Simental, was arrested this week in a fishing city on the Baja California peninsula.
Garcia Simental, who operated in the border city of Tijuana, was one of Mexico’s most wanted drug lords who was notorious for beheading victims and allegedly having bodies dissolved in acid.
Last year one of his aides, Santiago Meza Lopez, 45, was captured and confessed to being his “soup master,” claiming to have dissolved 300 bodies in vats of chemicals.
The cartels are fighting for control of cocaine-smuggling routes from Central America into the US, the world’s top drug consumer, which has pledged millions of dollars in aid to help combat the cartels.
Mr Shirk said the powerful Sinaloa cartel headed by billionaire Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, which has so far been left relatively unscathed in the drug war, may now become dominant and that could ultimately lead to a fall in violence.

Obama To Launch Propaganda Campaign For North American Union
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
July 23, 2009
A new report out of left leaning globalist think tank the Brookings Institute confirms an agenda to re-brand the long running effort to merge the US, Canada and Mexico into a Federal superstate akin to the European Union.
The report was highlighted by author Jerome Corsi, who points out that the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America has become much maligned owing to it’s quasi secretive advancement of a North American integration agenda.
“Two top Washington think-tanks have now formally suggested in writing that the Obama administration should rename the SPP as a public relations ploy to advance the North American integration agenda without drawing so much flak from those of us interested in preserving U.S. sovereignty,” Corsi writes in his Red Alert newsletter.
In the Brookings Institute report, titled “Toward a New Frontier: Improving the U.S.-Canadian Border”, Christopher Sands, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, where he specializes on North American economic integration, suggests the Obama administration should continue the agenda of the SPP, but under a new name.
“Despite evidence that NAFTA has been beneficial on balance to American business, workers, and consumers the argument remains vilified by many as an unwarranted move to embrace globalization.” Sands writes.
“President Obama recognized this on the campaign trail in 2008, when he called for the renegotiation of NAFTA’s provisions to correct flaws in the original agreement. As a result, the Obama administration will most likely rename the SPP.” Sands concludes.
The report also suggests focusing more on the integration of the US and Canada as a priority, before bringing Mexico into the equation.
Sands suggests the following three courses of action:
1. “President Obama should borrow from the lexicon of the European Union and announce that the United States will proceed in negotiations with its two neighbors ‘at two speeds,’ moving ahead more quickly where possible with its developed neighbor Canada, and allowing Mexico to proceed more slowly as necessary.”
2. “The Obama administration is likely to want to ‘press the reset button’ on the SPP, an unpopular though valuable initiative that has improved policy coordination between the United States and its neighbors.”
3. “The SPP must be re-branded to win any kind of consensus support. The Obama administration recognizes this, and could take a few tactical steps to make the SPP (or its eventual successor) work better and win broader support.”
Sands defines his vision of the re-branded SPP as an effort “to build a truly ‘new frontier’ on the northern border,” adding that “President Obama’s community organizing experience suits him well for the task ahead.”
Sands is deeply entrenched in the integration agenda, being a member of the Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section of The North American Competitiveness Council (NACC), organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to consult with U.S. government officials in negotiations under the SPP.
The NACC is essentially an elite advisory board comprised of 30 senior private sector representatives of North American corporations that were selected by the American, Canadian and Mexican governments at the June 2006 trilateral meeting in Cancun, Mexico.
Last year, one month prior to the SPP summit in April, documents were uncovered relating how the NACC was formed as part of a public relations overhaul to counter critics of the SPP.
The documents detailed how, through the NACC, corporate representatives were urged to “humanize” North American integration, promote NAFTA success stories to employees and unions and evolve the harmonization agenda “without fueling protectionism”.
The move was seemingly a response to the continued exposition of the integration agenda, which led to representatives within Congress petitioning the government on the secretiveness of the SPP and multiple states introducing resolutions calling on their federal representatives to halt work on the so called “North American Union”.
Earlier this week we revealed that president Obama is scheduled to attend this year’s SPP meeting in Mexico in August 9-10, slated as the “North American Leader’s Summit”.
“The key to understanding what is going on with the SPP under the Obama administration is the realization that globalists always proceed under a stealth agenda,” Jerome Corsi comments.
“Globalists typically mask their real plans to produce regional governments out of trade agreements by changing names and designing different structures when initial attempts to destroy nation-states are exposed and stalled by citizens who are still patriotic enough to cherish what remains left of their national sovereignty.”

“North American Parliament” Meets At Integration Forum
Students trained in “sense of belonging to North America”
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
May 27, 2008
A simulation of a North American Parliament, designed to “develop the participants’ sense of belonging to North America” and “and promote the creation of North American academia networks” is currently taking place in Montreal.
100 selected students from universities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico have been selected to take on the roles of Legislators, Journalists and Lobbyists, in the fourth annual Triumvirate of the North American Forum on Integration.
The meeting represents another example of an overarching movement on behalf of globalist business leaders and politicians to merge the three nations of North America into an EU like federation.
Participants at the Triumvirate discuss draft bills on issues such as trade corridors, immigration, NAFTA’s Chapter 11 and renewable energy.
While the meeting is billed as an exercise to debate these areas of policy, there is no simulated opposition to the overall agenda and the documents provided to participants represent little more than essays debunking opponents of NAFTA, attacking traders who do not adhere to a North American union model, presenting methods of control such as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative which considers biometric RFID cards for border crossings, and promoting the agenda of NAFI itself which it makes clear is to forge North American integration.
Minnesota House & Senate Reject Real ID
AP
May 27, 2008
The House and Senate have approved a bill that would bar state driver’s license authorities from implementing the federal Real ID regulations.
Governor Pawlenty vetoed an earlier attempt to require that conditions be met before the state could change licenses to meet federal rules. But both chambers passed the bill by veto-proof margins: 50-16 in the Senate and 103-30 in the House.
The Real ID mandate would require every citizen to carry a U.S. government-approved card to board a plane or enter a federal facility.
Critics say it will be costly to implement and that too much of people’s personal information will be added to a national database. Supporters argue that a more secure identification card will help in homeland security and immigration control efforts.
Real ID license actually a surveillance card
Kennebec Journal
May 26, 2008
In response to Joseph Reisert’s article about Real ID driver’s licenses: A Real ID driver’s license would be required to enter an airport, board a plane or enter a federal building. If, rather than have a Real ID license, I decide not to enter an airport, board an airplane or enter a federal building, why do I need a Real ID driver’s license to drive a car?
Ah, because an ordinary driver’s license in Corporate America is used to cash checks, which are used to buy groceries and other merchandise and to pay bills for electricity, TV and telephones — in short, checks make up the entire fabric of the corporate state.
If everyone had a Real ID, everything about a citizen could be fed into a database describing the person’s income, purchases, reading habits, job description, medical records. A GPS profile could be made showing where that citizen is on the planet at any given time. A Real ID driver’s license is really a surveillance card.
What Reisert seems to be saying is that to have our military empire, financed by the corporate state, we must give up freedom as a political institution and accept the fact that war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Not to mention the tautology that surveillance is security.

Mexico Death Rate From Drug Cartels Rise
Manuel Roig-Franzia
Washington Post
March 16, 2008
The killers prowled through Loma Bonita in the pre-dawn chill.
In silence, they navigated a labyrinth of wood shacks at the crest of a dirt lane in the blighted Tijuana neighborhood, police say. They were looking for Margarito Saldaña, an easygoing 43-year-old district police commander. They found a house full of sleeping people.
Neighbors quivered at the crack of AK-47 assault rifles blasting inside Saldaña’s tiny home. Rafael García, an unemployed laborer who lives nearby, recalled thinking it was “a fireworks show,” then sliding under his bed in fear.
In murdering not only Saldaña, but also his wife, Sandra, and their 12-year-old daughter, Valeria, the Loma Bonita killers violated a rarely broken rule of Mexico’s drug cartel underworld: Family should remain free from harm. The slayings capped five harrowing hours during which the assassins methodically hunted down and murdered two other police officers and mistakenly killed a 3-year-old boy and his mother.
The brutality of what unfolded here in the overnight hours of Jan. 14 and early Jan. 15 is a grim hallmark of a crisis that has cast a pall over the United States’ southern neighbor. Events in three border cities over the past three months illustrate the military and financial power of Mexico’s cartels and the extent of their reach into a society shaken by fear.
More than 20,000 Mexican troops and federal police are engaged in a multi-front war with the private armies of rival drug lords, a conflict that is being waged most fiercely along the 2,000-mile length of the U.S.-Mexico border. The proximity of the violence has drawn in the Bush administration, which has proposed a $500 million annual aid package to help President Felipe Calderon combat what a Government Accountability Office report estimates is Mexico’s $23 billion a year drug trade.
A total of more than 4,800 Mexicans were slain in 2006 and 2007, making the murder rate in each of those years twice that of 2005. Law enforcement officials and journalists, politicians and peasants have been gunned down in the wave of violence, which includes mass executions, such as the killings of five people whose bodies were found on a ranch outside Tijuana this month.
Like the increasing number of Mexicans heading over the border in fear, the violence itself is spilling into the United States, where a Border Patrol agent was recently killed while trying to stop suspected traffickers.
Drawing on firepower, savage intimidation and cash, the cartels have come to control key parts of the border, securing smuggling routes for 90 percent of the cocaine flowing into the United States, according to the State Department. At the same time, Mexican soldiers roam streets in armored personnel carriers, attack helicopters patrol the skies, and boats ply the coastal waters.
“The situation is deteriorating,” Victor Clark, a Tijuana human rights activist and drug expert, said in an interview. “Drug traffickers are waging a terror campaign. The security of the nation is at stake.”

Could Canada’s Games be secured with help from Americans and Mexicans?
Canada, U.S. and Mexico are planning a massive joint military exercise in April 2009 “to focus on terrorist events that could affect [the] 2010 Olympics,” according to Public Safety Canada documents released to 2010 Watch via access to information.
The rehearsal, led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is code-named TOPOFF 5. Canadian troops were among the 15,000 participants involved in last October’s TOPOFF 4 in Portland, Ore., Phoenix, Ariz. and Guam.
http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=965078627199672535&hl=en
“Exercises provide unique training opportunities to strengthen our ability to deal with potential emergencies,” said Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day in an e-mail statement responding to 24 hours’ interview request. “They are important tools to strengthen Canada’s ability to deal with real incidents.”
An undated Public Safety Canada report said up to $22.8 million was needed to fund emergency management, counter-terrorism, cyber security and critical infrastructure protection exercises, “leading to a trilateral full-scale exercise prior to the Vancouver Olympic Games in 2010, as outlined under the Security and Prosperity Partnership.”
SPP was founded in 2005 to promote economic growth and enhanced security in North America.
“Does it mean that if the American forces are training with Canadian forces that they are going to be positioned here in Canada during the period of the Olympic Games?” said 2010 Watch’s Chris Shaw. “And, if so, under whose command?”
Washington Prepares for Cyber War Games
Cyber Storm II begins March 11th until the 14th, US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand plan joint military exercise

March 7, 2008
The U.S. government will conduct a series of cyber war games throughout next week to test its ability to recover from and respond to digital attacks.
Code-named ‘Cyber Storm II,’ this is the largest-ever exercise designed to evaluate the mettle of information technology experts and incident response teams from 18 federal agencies, including the DHS, CIA, Department of Defense, FBI, and NSA, as well as officials from nine states, including Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia. In addition, more than 40 companies will be playing, including Cisco Systems, Dow Chemical, McAfee, and Microsoft.

Author of the REAL-ID Act Gets Confronted
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Apblj9X2EY
The Newspaper.com
February 12, 2008
Drivers who use E-ZPass toll transponders are having their movements recorded even when driving on free public roads. New Jersey Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine confirmed that the state’s department of transportation uses E-ZPass scanners to know when, for example, a motorist drives to the mall on Route 24 in the Short Hills area.
“This isn’t some kind of surveillance,” New Jersey DOT spokesman Erin Phalon told the Star-Ledger.
Instead, the official purpose of the program is counting traffic volume. The http://www.njcommuter.com website keeps track of traffic volume and accidents on important routes statewide. It is not clear whether the state has access to the identity of the motorists involved, because the New Jersey E-ZPass terms and conditions fail to disclose even the public tracking program.
“Nor are we liable for any third party act taken by reason of your use or display of the E-ZPass tag,” the terms and conditions state.
Toll transponder companies frequently hand over sensitive personal information regarding the movements of individual motorists in cases involving divorce and similar proceedings.

NAU Summit To Be Held In New Orleans
January 29, 2008
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xr1-shfAZGU
President George W. Bush failed to mention the plight of New Orleans in his previous State of the Union addresss and has overseen what some call more than two years of neglect since Hurricane Katrina.
During his address Monday, however, he was applauded for his plans to bring a high-profile summit to the business-hungry town.
Bush announced during the address that he, the Prime Minister of Canada, and the President of Mexico will visit New Orleans in April for the fourth annual North American Leader’s Summit.
Last year’s meeting took place in Quebec, Canada, and drew more than 1,000 labor and environmental activists who did not agree with the policies of North America’s political leaders.
But even Bush’s most vocal critics said the event, and the forums and seminars expected to be organized around its periphery, will be a benefit to New Orleans.
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu said the meeting will be a great opportunity to showcase that the Gulf Coast is coming back.

Mexican farmers protest NAFTA
The last tariffs on U.S. produce end, raising fears of a glut of cheap corn and beans wiping out local agriculture.
LA Times
January 3, 2008
MEXICO CITY — Farmers in this country organized scattered protests Tuesday and Wednesday as the final trade barriers on U.S. corn, beans, sugar and milk fell with the full implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement on New Year’s Day.
Corn and beans are staples of the Mexican diet and subsistence crops for millions of farmers. Opponents of NAFTA said the free entry of relatively cheap U.S. corn would devastate rural Mexico and help spur more immigration.
But the government of President Felipe Calderon celebrated the end of the trade barriers, whose gradual elimination began in 1994 when the treaty among the U.S., Mexican and Canadian governments took effect.
Agriculture Secretary Alberto Cardenas said that 90% of the imports affected by the final barriers already entered the country free of tariffs in 2006, and that the effect on local producers would be minimal.
Still, about 100 Mexican farmers partially blocked the border crossing between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, carrying signs that read “Without Corn There Is No Country.”
Protesters blocked several of the traffic lanes entering Mexico for much of Tuesday and part of Wednesday, according to news reports.

Canada openly proclaims NAFTA Superhighway
Readers bombard Newsweek with evidence after adverse story on Ron Paul
Jerome R. Corsi
World Net Daily
December 8, 2007
A Newsweek story critical of Rep. Ron Paul and labeling the NAFTA Superhighway a baseless conspiracy theory has generated approximately 250 adverse reader responses on the “comments” section of Newsweek’s website, many citing hard evidence that the proposed transcontinental trade corridor is quite real.
 U.S. Rep. Ron Paul |
“There is a broad coalition of Americans developing across the United States who are opposed to a North American Union and know that Ron Paul is right and we need to take action now before it is too late,” Jesse Benton, national press secretary for the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign 08 told WND.
Particularly interesting among Newsweek’s reader comments were citations of Canadian government websites that openly discuss and declare plans to create a NAFTA Superhighway.
Several readers pointed to a Canadian government video clip gaining wide circulation on the Internet. It involves a Nov. 20 “Speech from the Throne,” in which John Harvard, lieutenant-governor of the Province of Manitoba, Canada, opened the second session of the 39th assembly of the provincial legislature with comments proclaiming support for the development of a “Mid-Continent Trade Corridor.”
“Manitoba is also taking a major role in the development of a Mid-Continent Trade Corridor, connecting our northern Port of Churchill with trade markets throughout the central United States and Mexico,” Harvard told the legislature.
“To advance the concept,” Harvard continued, “an alliance has been built with business leaders and state and city governments spanning the entire length of the Corridor. When fully developed, the trade route will incorporate an ‘inland port’ in Winnipeg with pre-clearance for international shipping.”
A video posted on YouTube shows excerpts from Harvard’s speech juxtaposed with clips of President Bush and Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the press conference of the third summit of the Security and Prosperity Partnership in Montebello, Quebec, on Aug. 21, ridiculing the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway as baseless conspiracy theories.
A Destination-Winnipeg trade group website identifies the Mid-Continent Trade Corridor as “the northern gateway of this vast Corridor, a network of highways and railways linking the business community with cities to the south, through the U.S. and into Mexico.”
The Canadian government’s Canada Transport website describes the Mid-Continent International Trade Corridor as a rail and highway network which stretches from Manitoba to Mexico.
Other Newsweek readers provided links to an Alberta government website.
 |
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation in Alberta, Canada, has posted on its website a trade corridor map that shows a NAFTA Superhighway clearly designated in the same route, including Interstate Highways 35, 29 and 94, that the North America’s SuperCorridor Coalition, or NASCO, designates as the I-35 NAFTA Superhighway.
Craig Offman of the National Post writes that this Alberta map of the NAFTA Superhighway on the Alberta Government website is currently Number Two on the popular U.S. web site Digg.com.
“Well, now, Mr. Paul might think he has some real fodder,” Offman writees. “The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation website uses the exact phrase, showing a thoroughfare that begins in Manitoba and drops all the way down to West Texas.”
“Why would the Canadian government web page in Alberta show a NAFTA Superhighway if the highway doesn’t exist?” asks a Newsweek reader linking to the Alberta site. “Keep on lying to the people, Newsweek, it is what you do best.”
“We have had that map with the NAFTA Superhighway on our website for 5 years or more,” Jerry Bellikka, director of communications for the Alberta Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation told WND in a telephone interview.
“The website is a site for truckers,” Bellikka explained. “We try to harmonize our trucking regulations with Canada and the United States so truckers can log on and see where they fit on our requirements when they are traveling along these North American corridors.”
WND asked Bellikka if the Alberta Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation had any intention of changing the NAFTA Superhighway map on its website.
“No,” Bellinkka answered directly. “We have no plan to change the designation of NAFTA Superhighway on our website.”

Congress debate begins on North American Union
WND

A House resolution urging President Bush “not to go forward with the North American Union or the NAFTA Superhighway system” is – according to its sponsor Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., in an exclusive WND interview – “also a message to both the executive branch and the legislative branch.”
As WND previously reported, on Jan. 22 Goode introduced H.C.R. 40, titled “Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.”
The bill has been referred to the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
WND asked Goode if the president was risking electoral success for the Republican Party in 2008 with his insistence on pushing for North American integration via the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP.
“Yes,” Goode answered. “You won’t hear the leadership in the Republic Party admit it, but there are many in the House and Senate who know that illegal immigration has to be stopped and legal immigration has to be reduced. We are giving away the country so a few very rich people can get richer.”
How did he react when President Bush referred to those who suggest the SPP could turn into the North American Union as “conspiracy theorists”?
“The president is really engaging in a play on words,” Goode responded. “The secretary of transportation came before our subcommittee,” he explained, “and I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about the NAFTA Superhighway. Of course, she answered, ‘There’s no NAFTA Superhighway.’ But then Mary Peters proceeded to discuss the road system that would come up from Mexico and go through the United States up into Canada.”
Goode is a member of the Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development of the House Committee on Appropriations.
“So, I think that saying we’re ‘conspiracy theorists’ or something like that is really just a play on words with the intent to demonize the opposition,” Goode concluded.
Goode stressed that the Bush administration supports both a NAU regional government and a NAFTA Superhighway system: “The Bush administration as well as Mexico and Canada have persons in the government in all three countries who want to a see a North American Union as well as a highway system that would bring goods into the west coast of Mexico and transport them up through Mexico into the United States and then in onto Canada,” Goode confirmed.
The Virginia congressman said he believes the motivation behind the movement toward North American integration is the anticipated profits the large multinational corporations in each of the three countries expect to make from global trade, especially moving production to China.
“Some really large businesses that get a lot from China would like a NAFTA Superhighway system because it would reduce costs for them to transport containers from China and, as a result, increase their margins,” he argued.
“I am vigorously opposed to the Mexican trucks coming into the country,” Goode continued. “The way we have done it and, I think, the way we should do it in the future, is to have the goods come into the United States from Mexico within a 20-mile commercial space and unloaded from Mexican trucks into U.S. trucks. This procedure enhances the safety of the country, the security of the country, and provides much less chance for illegal immigration.”
As WND reported, the Department of Transportation has begun a Mexican truck “demonstration project” under which 100 Mexican trucking companies are being allowed to run their long-haul rigs throughout the U.S.
Previously, Mexican trucks have been limited to a 20-mile commercial zone in the United States, with the requirement that goods bound for locations in the U.S. beyond the 20-mile commercial zone be off-loaded to U.S. trucks.
WND reported last month that Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., successfully offered an amendment to the Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 2008 appropriations bill to block DOT from spending any federal funds to implement the truck project.
Dorgan’s amendment passed 75-23, after Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., changed her vote to support Dorgan.
By a voice vote, the House passed an amendment offered by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., to the DOT appropriations bill comparable to Dorgan’s, designed to block the agency from using federal funds to implement the truck project.
DeFazio chairs the House transportation subcommittee that oversees motor carriers.
“With the Trans-Texas Corridor, which I would say is part of the NAFTA Superhighway system, and with this NAFTA plot with the Mexican trucks just coming in and not loading off to U.S. trucks, they will just drive right over the Rio Grande and come on over into Texas,” Goode argued. “A lot of these Mexican trucks will be bring containerized cargo from the west coast of Mexico where they will be unloaded in Mexican ports to avoid the fees and costs of unloading at U.S. ports.”
“So, when you look at the total package,” he continued, “we do have a NAFTA Superhighway system already in place. There are those in all three countries that believe we should have a North American Union and the Security and Prosperity Partnership, in my opinion takes us down that road. And I am vigorously opposed to the loss of our sovereignty.”
Why, WND asked, do so many congressmen and senators insist on writing and telling their constituents that they don’t know anything about the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or that SPP working groups are really just to increase our competitiveness?
“In the House, a strong majority voted to provide no money in the transportation funding bill,” Goode responded. “I commend Congressman Duncan Hunter for submitting an amendment to the Department of Transportation funding bill [which] got over 360 votes that said no funds in the transportation appropriation measure, prohibiting Department of Transportation funds from being used to participate on working groups that promote the Security and Prosperity Partnership.”
As WND reported, Hunter’s amendment to the FY 2008 Department of Transportation funding bill prohibiting DOT from using federal funds to participate in SPP working groups creating NAFTA Superhighways passed 362 to 63, with strong bipartisan support. The House approved H.R. 3074 by 268-153, with the Hunter amendment included.
“So, I think a majority the House, if you had an up or down vote on the SPP, would vote down on the SPP,” Goode concluded. “But some still say, and it’s a play on words, that we don’t have a Security and Prosperity Partnership that will lead to a North American Union. I don’t think they can say anymore that we don’t have a Security and Prosperity Partnership arrangement between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, because that was done in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005, and the recent meeting at Montebello was to talk about it further.”
WND asked Goode to comment on the North American Competitiveness Council, or NACC, a group of multinational corporations selected by the Chambers of Commerce in Mexico, Canada and the U.S. as the central adviser of SPP working groups.
At the SPP summit in Montebello, Quebec, the NACC met behind closed doors with the three leaders, cabinet secretaries who were present, and top SPP working group bureaucrats, while various public advocacy groups, environmental groups, labor unions – and the press – were excluded.
Should SPP working group meetings be open to the public?
“I wish they were,” Goode responded. “If it is as the Bush administration says, ‘We’re not planning any North American Union,’ then why wouldn’t those meetings be open, why wouldn’t you let the media in?” Goode asked.
“But some of the very big corporations want the goods from China to come in here unchecked,” he continued. “It costs money for U.S. trucks to transport Chinese goods from West Coast ports like Los Angeles or Long Beach. But if you can have a Mexican truck and Mexican truck driver, that’s going to be cheaper. And it’s all about the margins. The margins relate directly to how much money the multi-national corporations are going to make.”
Has the Senate debate on the Dorgan amendment brought the issues of the NAU and NAFTA Superhighways more to the attention of the Senate?
“I think so,” Goode said. “That debate had a very positive effect. You had grassroots support calling the Senate on the Dorgan amendment.
“The Bush administration engages in the same play of words with all these issues,” Goode added. “Take a look at the Kennedy-McCain comprehensive immigration reform, which the Bush administration has now tried to jam through the Senate not once, but twice.
“The Bush administration claims it’s not [amnesty] when you let someone stay in the country and give them a path to citizenship,” Goode pointed out. “Well, that’s their definition, not my definition, and not the definition of the majority of the public. The majority of the public called in and buried the amnesty bill because of public pressure. Public pressure also got de-funded the pilot program on Mexican trucks in this country.”
So should the U.S. pull out of the SPP?
“Yes,” Goode answered, “but the best way to end SPP would be to have a chief executive that wouldn’t do anything with it.”
What does Goode think of the state legislatures that are passing anti-NAU, anti-NAFTA Superhighway and anti-SPP resolutions?
“If enough state legislatures pass resolutions like that, it surely should have an impact on the House and the Senate,” Goode said.
“President Bush’s position is that we need to carry out NAFTA and we need to have this free flow of goods with Mexico and Canada,” Goode explained. “Well, Bush’s approach involves a derogation of our sovereignty and it also undermines the security and the safety of the country.
“It will be much easier for a truck to get a container on the west coast of Mexico and haul in a biological or radiological or nuclear weapon than it would be if you are going to have to unload the trucks on the Texas-Mexico border and put the goods and material in a U.S. truck,” he continued.
“The problem is that the NAU, NAFTA Superhighways and SPP all go back to money,” Goode stressed. “The multinational companies want their goods from Mexico and China because they want the cheap labor.”
What about the U.S.’s large and growing trade imbalance with China?
“I don’t want to have to be an ‘I told you so’ person,” Goode answered, “but I was a vigorous opponent of PNTR (“permanent normal trade relations”) and before that of ‘most favored nation’ trade status with China. We need tariffs and quotas with China. Personally, if I know food is coming in from China, I won’t buy it. The American people with the adoption of COOL, country of origin labeling, with the food clearly labeled, I think you will see the American public will shy away from Chinese products.”
In 2000, Congress voted to extend to China PNTR. “Most favored nation” or MFN trade status, was given to China first in 1980 by the Carter administration. COOL rules are administered by the Department of Agriculture.
Goode concluded the interview by thanking WND for covering the SPP, NAU and NAFTA Superhighway issues: “I want to thank you for putting these issues out where people can read it,” Goode said. “You have enlightened hundreds of thousands if not millions of American citizens who otherwise would have been greatly in the dark on the SPP.”

Calderon Blasts U.S. Immigration Policies
Chron
September 2, 2007
MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying “Mexico does not end at its borders.”
The criticism earned Calderon a standing ovation during his first state-of-the nation address.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon gives his state of the nation address at the National Palace in Mexico City, Sunday, Sept. 2, 2007.
“We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers,” he said. “The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle … for their rights.”
He also reached out to the millions of Mexicans living in the United States, many illegally, saying: “Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico.”
Since taking office in December, Calderon has maintained strong ties with the United States, but he has often denounced U.S. immigration policy, including more deportations that have divided many families, sometimes forcing U.S.-born children to build new lives in Mexico.
Calderon addressed the nation Sunday from the National Palace, avoiding a showdown with leftist opposition lawmakers who had vowed to prevent him from making the speech in Congress, as Mexican tradition dictates.
Mexico’s Federal Electoral Tribunal declared Calderon the winner of the July 2006 race nearly a year ago, rejecting leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador claims that Calderon’s narrow victory was fraudulent.
Calderon’s predecessor, Vicente Fox, was also blocked last year from making his state-of-the-nation address in Congress after leftist lawmakers stormed the stage and refused to give him passage. The lawmakers claimed Fox unfairly aided Calderon’s win, which Fox denied. Both are members of the conservative National Action Party.
Lopez Obrador refused to recognize Calderon’s eventual victory and declared himself leader of a parallel government. But he has largely disappeared from the public eye amid sharp divisions within his leftist Democratic Revolutionary Party.
Calderon, meanwhile, has garnered some of the highest approval ratings in Mexico’s history.
He said Sunday that Mexico has created 618,000 new jobs since January and needs to do more to close the giant gap between the rich and the poor. He also promised not to let up in his nationwide crackdown on drug gangs who control large swaths of Mexican territory.
“We can close our eyes to the reality, and because we are afraid or irresponsible, let organized crime take over our streets,” he said. “Or we can decide to fight and defeat crime with all the risks and costs that implies.”

CCTV: The Security State As Infotainment
Guardian
August 26, 2007
As protesters gathered recently outside the Security and Prosperity Partnership summit in Montebello, Quebec, to confront George Bush, Felipe Calderón, the Mexican president, and Stephen Harper, the Canadian prime minister, Associated Press reported this surreal detail: “Leaders were not able to see the protesters in person, but they could watch the protesters on TV monitors inside the hotel … Cameramen hired to ensure that demonstrators would be able to pass along their messages to the three leaders sat idly in a tent full of audio and video equipment … A sign on the outside of the tent said, ‘Our cameras are here today providing your right to be seen and heard. Please let us help you get your message out. Thank You.'”
Yes, it’s true: like contestants on a reality TV show, protesters at the SPP meeting were invited to vent into video cameras, their rants to be beamed to “protest-trons” inside the summit enclave. It was security state as infotainment – Big Brother meets, well, Big Brother. The spokesperson for Prime Minister Harper explained that although protesters were herded into empty fields, the video link meant that their right to political speech was protected. “Under the law, they need to be seen and heard, and they will be.”
It is an argument with sweeping implications. If videotaping activists meets the legal requirement that dissenting citizens have the right to be seen and heard, what else might fit the bill? How about all the other security cameras that patrolled the summit – the ones filming demonstrators as they got on and off buses and peacefully walked down the street? What about the mobile phone calls that were intercepted, the meetings that were infiltrated, the emails that were read? According to the new rules set out in Montebello, all these actions may soon be recast not as infringements on civil liberties but the opposite: proof of our leaders’ commitment to direct, unmediated consultation. Elections are a crude tool for taking the public temperature – these methods allow constant, exact monitoring of our beliefs. Think of surveillance as the new participatory democracy; of wiretapping as the political equivalent of MTV’s Total Request Live.
Protesters in Montebello complained that while they were locked out, chief executives from about 30 of the largest corporations in North America – from Wal-Mart to Chevron – were part of the official summit. But perhaps they had it backwards: the CEOs had only an hour and 15 minutes of face time with the leaders. The activists were being “seen and heard” around the clock. So instead of shouting about police-state tactics, maybe they should have said: “Thank you for listening.” (And reading, and watching, and photographing, and data-mining.)
The Montebello “seen and heard” rule also casts the target of the protests in a new light. The SPP is described in the leaders’ final statement as an “ambitious” plan to “keep our borders closed to terrorism yet open to trade”. In other words, a merger of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the homeland security complex – Nafta with spy planes. The model dates back to September 11, when Paul Cellucci, the US ambassador to Canada, pronounced that in the new era, “security will trump trade”. But there was an out clause: the trade on which the economies of Canada and Mexico depend could continue uninterrupted, as long as the governments of those countries were willing to welcome the tentacles of the US war on terror. Canadian and Mexican business leaders leaped to surrender, aggressively pushing their governments to give in to US demands for “integrated” security in order to keep the goods and the tourists flowing.
Almost six years later, the business leaders at Montebello – under the banner of the North American Competitiveness Council, an official wing of the SPP – were still holding up “thickening borders” as the bogeyman. The fix? According to the SPP website, “technological solutions, improved information-sharing, and, potentially, the use of biometric identifiers”. From experience we know what this means: continent-wide no-fly lists, integrated databases, as well as the $2.5bn contract to Boeing to build a “virtual fence” on the northern and southern borders of the United States, equipped with unmanned drones.
In short, under the SPP vision of the continent, “thick” borders will soon be replaced with a nearly invisible web of continental surveillance – almost all of it run for profit. Two members of the SPP advisory group – Lockheed Martin and General Electric – have already received multibillion-dollar contracts from the US government to build this web. In the Bush era, security doesn’t trump big business; it may be the biggest business of all.
In the run-up to the SPP summit, a spate of surveillance scandals helped paint a fuller picture. First, Congress not only failed to curtail the National Security Agency’s warrantless wiretapping but opened the door to snooping into bank records, phone call patterns and even physical searches – all without any onus to prove the subject is a threat.
Next, the Boston Globe reported on plans to link thousands of CCTV cameras on streets, subways, apartment buildings and businesses into networks capable of tracking suspects in real time. And on August 15 confirmation came that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency – the arm of the American military that runs spy planes and satellites over enemy territory – would be fully integrated into the infrastructure of domestic intelligence gathering and local policing, becoming the “eyes” to the National Security Agency’s “ears”.
Add a few more hi-tech tools – biometric IDs, facial-recognition software, networked databases of “suspects”, GPS bundled into ever more electronic devices – and you have something like the world of total surveillance most recently portrayed in The Bourne Ultimatum.
Which brings us back to the Security and Prosperity Partnership. Who needs clumsy old border checks when the authorities are making sure we are seen and heard at all times – in high definition, online and off, on land and from the sky? Security is the new prosperity. Surveillance is the new democracy.

Quebec Police Admit They Went Undercover at Montebello Protest
CBC News
August 23, 2007
Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que.
However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to provoke the crowd and instigate violence.
“At no time did the police of the Sûreté du Québec act as instigators or commit criminal acts,” the police force said in French in a news release. “It is not in the police force’s policies, nor in its strategies, to act in that manner.
“At all times, they responded within their mandate to keep order and security.”
Police said the three undercover officers were only at the protest to locate and identify non-peaceful protesters in order to prevent any incidents.
Police came under fire Tuesday, when a video surfaced on YouTube that appeared to show three plainclothes police officers at the protest with bandanas across their faces. One of the men was carrying a rock.
In the video, protest organizers in suits order the men to put the rock down, call them police instigators and try unsuccessfully to unmask them.
Police-issued boots identified fake protesters
Protest organizers on Wednesday played the video for the media at a news conference in Ottawa. One of the organizers, union leader Dave Coles, explained that one reason protesters knew the men’s true identities was because they were wearing the same boots as other police officers.
Coles said on Wednesday that the only thing he didn’t know was whether the men were Quebec police, RCMP or hired security officers.
“[Our union] believes that the security force at Montebello were ordered to infiltrate our peaceful assembly and provoke incidents,” said Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.
Police said the three were told to monitor protesters who were not peacefully demonstrating to prevent any violent incidents, but they were called out as undercover agents when they refused to throw objects.
Concern Canada losing control of its energy
The protest at Montebello occurred outside the Fairmont Le Château Montebello hotel, near Ottawa, where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was meeting with U.S. President George W. Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon. The summit about border security, free trade and other issues began Monday and finished Tuesday.
Protesters said they gathered to voice their concern about Canada losing control of its energy and water resources and borders. Others decried what they called a high level of secrecy at the summit.
The Quebec provincial police will not comment any further on the affair, a spokeswoman in Montreal said.
Quebec Justice Minister Jacques Dupuis was made aware of the news, but a spokesman from his office said he will not comment on the matter either.

Dear Alex Jones, et al,

I was well within earshot of the agents-provocateurs incident.
http://infowars.net/articles/august2007/220807Provocateurs_SPP.htm
I have no doubt that your story is absolutely correct. I remember, at the time, telling people that “This was ‘a small, street-level, false-flag operation’ – JUST LIKE 9/11 !!”
The attached picture is a bigger, better, & higher-resolution one than the one in your original story(s);
(attached below)
It confirms to any ‘doubting Thomas’ that ALL 3 MEN IN THE VIDEO WERE ‘GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED AGENTS-PROVOCATEURS’!!
As you can see in this item, ‘controlled mass-media’ such as CBC, & CTV, did NOT report THIS story; Instead they completely misrepresented the truth to each of their respective national (Canadian) audiences.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St1-WTc1kow
Controlled mass-media, & Canada’s PM Stephen Harper, claimed that ‘ there were (merely) hundreds of protesters, but I, & two other witnesses there all day, estimated the numbers to be between 1600 & 2000.
[Ironically, the Union leader, & the political activist, Maude Barlow (Council of Canadians), in the video of ‘agents-provocateurs’, NEVER mentioned ‘911 Truth’ – even once – throughout all of their very extensive speeches at the SPP !! ‘911 Truth’ needs to educate the labor movement, & very many other ‘political activists’, about 911 truth, & the importance of communicating it, in turn, to the wider population.]
Thank you.

SPP Building an EU For the Western Hemisphere
John McManus
JBS
August 22, 2007
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=762775252971310307&hl=en
leaders of Canada, the United States and Mexico will issue emphatic denials but the hidden motive propelling them in creating the Security and Prosperity Partnership is to advance one step closer to the centuries-old goal of a world government known as the New World Order.
Mr. Bush, Señor Calderon, and Mr. Harper may publicly claim that their goal is merely the promotion of free trade and the creation of more cooperation amongst the three nations. But, in 2002, when former Mexican President Vicente Fox announced his desire to create “connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union,” he openly confirmed the long range plan. He is not alone in having made clear that a duplicate of the EU is in the works for the Western Hemisphere.
The European Union was sold to the people of Europe as a beneficial arrangement to spur trade. But, as many have begun to discover, it has all but cancelled independence for its 27 nations. In their 2003 book The Great Deception, British authors Booker and North show that the European Union has become the greatest concentration of political power in the history of mankind. The two researchers refer to the EU as “a slow-motion coup d’etat, the most spectacular coup d’etat in history.”
The Security and Prosperity Partnership is setting the stage for uniting the three nations of North America into a North American Union that will parallel for the West what the EU has done to Europe. At a closed-door meeting of what was labeled the North American Forum [1] held in Banff, Alberta, September 12-14, 2006, high-level officials and prominent executives from the three nations discussed “Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration.” After attending the secret gathering –- there were no journalists, no press releases, no commentary for public consumption -– U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Shannon told [2] an audience here in Ottawa: “The North American Forum is a parallel structure to the Security and Prosperity Partnership” –- thus admitting the existence of a link between the SPP and plans for a North American Union.
Canadian Mel Hurtig attended the Banff session and he stated [3] that its purpose was to bring about “the integration of Canada into the United States.” He didn’t like the idea of such a meeting being held in secrecy, and he didn’t like the plan to integrate the three nations. If there was nothing to hide, why did that meeting of high-ranking dignitaries from the three North American nations meet in secrecy?
Asked months ago about the Security and Prosperity Partnership and the rush toward a North American Union, many members of the U.S. Congress confessed not having a clue about these subversive plans. The reason for their early ignorance is that the overall goal is designed to occur without any consent of the people’s representatives. Mr. Bush and his globalist advisers will not risk the defeat of their plans by seeking input from Congress. They plan to carry out this enormous coup d’etat under the so-called authority of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA. But, recently, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to bar the use of federal funds for creating the NAFTA superhighway from Mexico into the U.S. and Canada. Obviously, some portions of the overall plan are becoming known.
American University’s Dr. Robert Pastor, a key promoter of this grand scheme, stated very clearly in Foreign Affairs [4] magazine that “NAFTA was merely the first draft of an economic constitution for North America.”
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez confirmed the view given by Dr. Pastor when he stated in March 2006, “The Security and Prosperity Partnership seeks to build on NAFTA.”
World Government has been the goal of a power-driven and self-perpetuating conspiracy for some six generations. Military conquest hasn’t achieved the goal. Wars and revolutions haven’t accomplished it either. So the master planners have turned to misnamed free trade and seemingly innocuous economic unions to reach their independence-cancelling design.
This is what Henry Kissinger meant when, in 1993, he implored the U.S. Congress to approve NAFTA as “the most creative step toward the new world order [5]” and a “step toward a free-trade zone for the entire Western Hemisphere.” And it is what David Rockefeller meant when he simultaneously urged [6] the U.S. Congress to approve NAFTA in order “to build a true new world in the Western Hemisphere.”
The John Birch Society was formed in 1958 to protect our nation’s hard-won independence. In the face of this very serious threat posed by the SPP and the North American Union, our organization has launched a campaign calling on the U.S. Congress to withdraw from NAFTA. If our effort is successful, the rug will be pulled out from under this secret plan to merge Canada, the U.S. and Mexico via the Security and Prosperity Partnership and its companion North American Union. H. Con. Res 22 [7]has been introduced in the House of Representatives to mandate withdrawal from NAFTA.
Nothing less than national independence is at stake. The American people don’t want to tear up our Declaration of Independence. Nor do the peoples of Canada and Mexico want to cancel the independence of their nations. Roman Herzog, the former president of Germany, now realizes that Germany has essentially lost its independence to the EU bureaucrats in Brussels. We must not let the same stealth-type movement accomplish for our countries what has already befallen Europe’s once-independent nations.
Our first step in blocking this merger is to scuttle the NAFTA pact. Supposedly a pact designed merely to foster trade, NAFTA’s 900 pages of regulations amount to massive amounts of control. And NAFTA’s Chapter 11 tribunals have already demonstrated their power to supersede state and federal law [8].
Our plan calls for blocking the creation of a North American Union by withdrawing the U.S. completely from NAFTA. We shall continue – and increase – our efforts to expose the hidden purpose behind the Security and Prosperity Partnership/North American Union. We welcome similar efforts from the peoples of Canada and Mexico.

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.”

Leaders Scoff at “North American Union” Question
Eunice Moscoso
Austin American Statesman
August 21, 2007
The leaders of the United States, Mexico and Canada — meeting at a summit in Montebello, Quebec — scoffed at a question about whether the meeting was a precursor to a North American Union and a possible erosion of national identity.
President Bush said it was “comical” to realize the difference between reality and what some people are talking about on T.V.
“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,” he said.
In addition, he said: “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.”
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said a couple of his opposition leaders “have speculated on massive water diversions and superhighways through the continent, maybe interplanetary — I’m not sure — as well.”
More seriously, he said that the three countries have an “enormous commercial relationship” and that they are discussing such things as the rules for manufacturing jelly beans which are different in Canada and the United States.
“Is the sovereignty of Canada going to fall apart if we standardize the jelly bean? You know, I don’t think so,” he said.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon said through a translator that there are several myths about the presidential summit.
“Some are more jovial and funnier than others, but what we’re trying to do is simply to meet, talk about common problems and see what we can do in practical terms in order to improve the lives of our people, whether it’s to standardize the parameters for chocolates or medicines,” he said.

Fox News Anchor Pathetically Attempts To Dismiss North American Union Agenda
Jon Gibson: Alex Jones shouts a lot, therefore there is no Pan American Union plot
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
August 21, 2007
Anti-American Fox Noise Channel’s Neo-Con Bush boot-licker John Gibson has once again chosen to attack Infowars and Alex Jones, this time in an attempt to rubbish the existence of the plot to create a North American Union.
While the three heads of state of the U.S., Mexico and Canada continue to conduct regional harmonization talks at the secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) summit in Quebec, the albino vampire John Gibson has attempted to rubbish the theory that the SPP represents such a move by comparing Alex Jones’ voice to that of John Goodman in the feature film The Big Lebowski.
“He is a total nut, foaming at the mouth, he may even be a bit on the rabid side.” Gibson spouts. Yes that proves it then, whatever “it” is supposed to be.
Listen to the audio:
Note: The voices you will hear are those of Gibson himself, his guest, recordings of Alex Jones he bizarrely throws in at certain points and lastly that of a totally pointless sidekick he apparently keeps chained in the corner and feeds only when he barks in agreement with his melanin starved slave master.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqlbyyjGyE8
Though Gibson admits to the existence of a planned Trans Texas Corridor trade route, he froths, “However the whole idea that this is conflating into an amalgamation of the three countries strikes me as absurd”, further describing the idea as a “tin foil hat jackass conspiracy theory”.
Clearly the peroxide prince of spin is not aware of the fact that 22 members of the House of Representatives have put their names to a letter to president Bush describing their concerns about the secretive manner in which the SPP is being conducted and that it “may actually undermine our security and sovereignty”.
Neither is “Gibby” aware of the fact that 18 states have introduced resolutions calling on their federal representatives to halt work on the North American Union (they include Virginia and South Carolina) and that 3 of these states (Idaho, Montana and Oklahoma) have passed their resolutions.
Clearly he is also not aware of SPP documents released under a FOIA request that prove a wide range of US administrative law is being re-written in stealth under the Security and Prosperity Partnership program to “integrate” and “harmonize” with administrative law in Mexico and Canada.
Clearly he is also unaware of Further documents (PDF link) from last year’s SPP meeting in Banff which were obtained by Judicial Watch under the FOIA which refer to an “evolution by stealth” agenda for the SPP.
The recent news that the United States and the European Union have signed up to a new transatlantic economic partnership that will see regulatory standards “harmonized” and will lay the basis for a merging of the US and EU into one single market, also presumably passed Gibson by.
And evidently Gibson has never caught his rival news anchors over at CNN or CNBC regularly broadcasting reports on the coming NAU merger.
Instead of inviting Alex Jones onto his show to debate the facts, which would have been wise considering his incredible and total ignorance of all of the above, the cowardly and pathetic Gibson chooses to play out of context recorded clips of Alex, which he then laughs at or makes snide remarks after. Regular listeners to Gibson (if there are any) will recognize this as a method he repeatedly employs.
In addition while Gibson’s guest, 9/11 truth activist Jessica Wilson, does her best to explain what exactly the NAU is, she admits she is no expert on the subject, and it quickly becomes clear that she is only there to be prodded and poked fun at.
When Wilson does make a salient point about Robert Pastor, one of the architects of the plan for a regional government, Gibson and his side kick just reply by interrupting her and sarcastically asking “do you believe George Bush carried out 9/11?” and “have you had black helicopters flying over your house recently?”
Meanwhile Alex Jones’ nationally syndicated show yesterday featured three leading experts on the subject, speaking live from the current SPP summit in Montebello, Canada contributing to a three hour in- depth feature on the issue.
While the clips of Alex betray an impassioned and alarmed talk show host working tirelessly to wake up his audience to the very real stealth movement toward a North American Union by providing them with verifiable facts, Gibson’s comments remind one of a bored spotty teenager making his own radio show in his bedroom with his equally socially retarded accomplice.
The fact that Gibson continues to be afforded the grandstand of a nationally syndicated radio show by his employers, yet clearly represents a totally pointless waste of airtime, confirms his true status as a weak minded and spiritually enslaved apologist for the corporate elite.
Like a nagging poodle yelping at our feet all the time trying to get our attention, Gibson seems to now use his ad hominem attacks on Alex Jones as an excuse for anything. Last May he stated that Presidential candidate Ron Paul should be kicked out of the debates simply for appearing on the Alex Jones show on a regular basis.
The dumb blond also suggested that Ron Paul’s assertion that bombing third world countries breeds hatred in the middle east is also a tin-foil hat conspiracy theory!
Gibson has also previously attacked the 9/11 truth movement on his gut wrenching “Big Story” show by promulgating demonstrably provable lies and promoting free speech haters. He also regularly enjoys mocking the tragic events of 9/11 that so many have so tirelessly poured over in attempt to get to the truth. Most recently Gibson defended a columnist who stated that another 9/11 style attack would “help America”, prompting MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann to hand Gibson his own behind on a platter.
Once again, we thank John Gibson and Fox News for the continued attention they are bringing to the issues we cover – because for any of their viewers that still possess their own set of teeth, they will be encouraged to “go to the Google”, as Gibson puts it, and enter terms like “North American Union” and “Alex Jones” and find out the truth.
We invite Gibson and his ilk to continue their desperate attacks because anyone with two brain cells left to rub together can immediately deduce how liars and con-artists behave – and how their impetuous smear tactics are manifested.
A growing number of Americans are realising that their sovereignty and the very way of life is under attack from globalist corporate servants within their own government. The establishment media is scared stiff about the fact and it’s enlightening to see them squirm, smear and lie in an attempt to retrieve something from an information war that they have already lost.

Conservative Leaders Plead To Bush: No North American Union
Joe Murray
The Bulletin
August 22, 2007
While the small Canadian village of Montebello is customarily known for its posh luxury and elegant surroundings, for the last two days the village has played host to the 2008 Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America meeting between President Bush and the leaders of Canada and Mexico.
SPP meetings, which are customarily held behind closed doors and known for their secrecy, represent a time when the leaders of the three most influential nations in the western hemisphere come together to discuss various issues of policy.
At this past meeting, which concluded yesterday, the three leaders discussed issues ranging from immigration to Canadian land rights in the Arctic to the need to stop the illegal flow of drugs crossing America’s southwest border.
The purpose of the meeting is to develop ways to integrate the three nations, both economically and politically. This goal has raised serious concerns that the three nations are seeking to subtly form a North American Union that would rival its European counterpart. Such a plan could possibly lead to a NAFTA Superhighway connecting the three nations, as well as a movement for a common currency. But as Bush was engaged in discussions with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a number of conservative activists were also in Montebello voicing their opposition. Arguing that American sovereignty should not be compromised to benefit commercial interests, a new conservative grassroots organization was not shy in voicing its opposition to a North American Union.
At a press conference held Monday, Howard Phillips, president of the Coalition to Block the North American Union (CBNAU), condemned America’s participation and urged Americans to take a stand against the “New World Order” that Bush and the other two leaders are trying to create.
“George Bush and his daddy [former President George H. W. Bush] have both used the term ‘New World Order.’ It was used by Woodrow Wilson. It was used by Adolf Hitler. It was used by a number of people, and the New World Order relates to the desire of many people in the world to submerge national sovereignties to international institution,” stated Phillips at the press conference.
The CBNAU has attracted a number of influential conservatives ranging from Bay Buchanan, senior campaign advisor to Tom Tancredo, and Phyllis Schlafly, founder of Eagle Forum. Phillips’ new organization has also cut across partisan politics and attracted the congressional support of Rep. Virgil Goode Jr., D-Va.
The past few days have been a whirlwind for Phillips, as the political veteran explained that there has been a major “breakthrough” for those concerned about preserving national sovereignty and the integrity of the Constitution.
“We had a great day in Canada,” explained Phillips. “We had tremendous news coverage.”
Phillips, who was a key figure in the fight against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), was sure to point out that the political environment that greeted NAFTA opponents in the early ’90s has become more inviting.
“This is a big difference from the ’90s, as it took a long time to wake up our people and tell them there was a serious crisis at hand,” stated Phillips. Because of Internet access, around-the-clock cable news service and other enhanced forms of communication, Phillips believes it is easier to keep grassroots America informed.
Among the main issues of contention for CBNAU is the devastating affect NAFTA has had on American manufacturing, the construction of a 12-lane NAFTA Superhighway, and the president’s usurpation of the traditional congressional power to handle commerce with foreign nations.
“Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly states that Congress – not the executive branch – has the power to ‘regulate commerce with foreign nations.’ Also, many SPP working group meetings are held in secret, and the public, the press and members of Congress have no opportunity to participate or conduct oversight,” stated Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C.
The president, at a joint press conference with Calderon and Harper, shrugged off concerns that the SPP was a threat to America’s sovereignty.
Characterizing opponents of the SPP as individuals who “like to frighten citizens” into believing that a relationship with Mexico and Canada is harmful to the United States, Bush stated, “I am amused by what actually takes place in the meeting and what some says takes place. … It is comical.”
Arguing that there are “several myths about this meeting,” Calderon chimed in and explained that at the SPP meetings, “we simply take advantage of being neighbors.”
Bush also took the time to praise NAFTA, telling reporters that trade agreement has yielded prosperity, something his critics say is false.
“Since NAFTA was approved, the United States has lost 3.1 million manufacturing jobs. More than 10,000 illegal aliens now stream across our southern border every week. The U.S. does not need its government equalizing standards and regulations that will result in more American jobs going to Mexico and more illegal aliens coming to America,” Jones said.
Members of the CBNAU are unconvinced by the three leaders, for they argue their actions do not reflect their words. Therefore, Congress has decided to take action to protect American sovereignty.
