WASHINGTON – A powerful think tank chaired by former Sen. Sam Nunn and guided by trustees including Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harold Brown, William Cohen and Henry Kissinger, is in the final stages of preparing a report to the White House and U.S. Congress on the benefits of integrating the U.S., Mexico and Canada into one political, economic and security bloc.

The final report, published in English, Spanish and French, is scheduled for submission to all three governments by Sept. 30, according to the Center for Strategic & International Studies.

CSIS boasts of playing a large role in the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 – a treaty that set in motion a political movement many believe resembles the early stages of the European Community on its way to becoming the European Union.

"The results of the study will enable policymakers to make sound, strategic, long-range policy decisions about North America, with an emphasis on regional integration," explains Armand B. Peschard-Sverdrup, director of CSIS' Mexico Project. "Specifically, the project will focus on a detailed examination of future scenarios, which are based on current trends, and involve six areas of critical importance to the trilateral relationship: labor mobility, energy, the environment, security, competitiveness and border infrastructure and logistics."

The data collected for the report is based on seven secret roundtable sessions involving between 21 and 45 people and conducted by CSIS. The participants are politicians, business people, labor leaders and academics from all three countries with equal representation.

Bush tries to strengthen ties with Canada, Mexico
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070821/...86J7lQClwE1vAI

MONTEBELLO, Quebec (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush will try to assure leaders of Canada and Mexico on Tuesday that the United States wants to build closer ties with them, despite the distraction of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon are expected to unveil an initiative to avoid crippling delays in border crossings in the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or epidemic such as Avian flu.

But the Quebec summit of the North American leaders risked being overshadowed by the monster hurricane that smashed into Mexico's Caribbean coast on Tuesday.

Not long after he arrived in Montebello, Quebec, for what has been dubbed the "Three Amigos summit," Calderon announced he was cutting his trip short to deal with the fallout from Hurricane Dean.

Bush told Calderon the United States was willing to help after the storm, which packed winds of 165 miles per hour (265 kph), Hurricane Dean made landfall as a rare Category 5 storm.

Calderon canceled plans to spend time with Harper in Quebec on Wednesday and then attend a business lunch in Toronto. The leaders were still due to hold a news conference around midday on Tuesday.

The summit at the chateau by the Ottawa River got under way amid demonstrations by protesters who shouted for Bush to go home and objected to the aim of boosting trade and working on a common approach against terrorism.

Critics expressed concern that broadening economic ties would erode national sovereignty and that closer cooperation on anti-terrorism could lead to human rights abuses.

DON'T APPEAR TOO CLOSE

But both Harper and Calderon are interested in furthering the trade relationship, although neither wants to appear too close to Bush, who is unpopular in both of their countries.

Bush came into office in 2001 pledging to focus on strengthening ties with Mexico but critics say he has neglected the concerns of his North American neighbors in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

Mexico is frustrated by increasingly tough U.S. border policies and by the collapse in Congress of a push to overhaul U.S. immigration laws.

Canada is irked that anti-terrorism measures have hampered the flow of goods and services across the border.

Harper discussed Canada's concerns about Russia's symbolic laying of claim to the North Pole, where it placed a flag on the seabed. Canada claims it has sovereignty over the Northwest Passage of the Arctic, but the United States views it as an international strait.

"I think it's fair to say the president came away with a far better understanding of Canada's position," said Dan Fisk, a White House specialist in Western Hemisphere affairs. "However, I will note that from the U.S. position we continue to believe that the Northwest Passage is an international waterway."

Stephen Clarkson, professor of international economy at the University of Toronto, said the Northwest Passage issue allows Harper -- accused by opposition politicians of being a Bush protege -- to show some disagreement with the U.S. leader.

"It's a very safe issue for Harper to bring up because it allows him to sound a nationalist theme," Clarkson said.

On Afghanistan, where Canada has 2,600 troops, Harper appears to have resigned himself to pulling out the troops by February 2009 since opposition parties, which have more seats in parliament than Harper's Conservatives, oppose an extension.

"At some point the prime minister will need to go back to parliament to have a decision on what the mission will be beyond February 2009," Fisk said.

A North American road to nowhere

GLORIA GALLOWAY

August 21, 2007 at 3:40 AM EDT

OTTAWA — It's a threat that has left-wing Canadian nationalists and right-wing U.S. congressmen in rare and dismayed agreement: a freeway, four football fields wide, stretching from Mexico to northern Manitoba.

Groups on both sides of the political spectrum say the corridor - dubbed the NAFTA superhighway - is a primary goal of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America established two years ago by the leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico.

At separate press conferences in Ottawa yesterday, the road was held out as an example of the potentially repugnant effects of the trilateral partnership.

There's just one thing: Officials in Canada and the United States say no plans for any such freeway are in the works. The concept, they say, is part urban myth and part fear-mongering.

But the detractors of the SPP are convinced that the road's construction has already been approved. They argue that plans are being kept secret, a lament they extend to the discussions taking place behind closed doors this week in Montebello, Que., between U.S. President George W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

"The chief project thus far of the SPP is the so-called NAFTA superhighway which would connect Mexico, the United States and Canada, cutting a wide swath through the middle of Texas and up through Kansas City," warned Republican Congressman Ron Paul in a statement read at one of the morning news events in Ottawa yesterday.

"Millions would be displaced by this massive undertaking which would require the eminent domain actions [expropriations] on an unprecedented scale. ... A Spanish construction company, it is said, plans to build the highway and operate it as a toll road."

Just a few minutes earlier, a collection of antiwar activists and civil-rights spokesmen led by the Council of Canadians, a non-profit group that fights against corporate integration with the U.S., offered a similar message.

They warned that a Trans Texas Corridor being built in Mr. Bush's home state that "will be four football fields wide and include lanes for cars, trains and trucks headed from the Mexican coast" will not end in the United States.

"Through public-private consortia like the North American Super Corridor Coalition, which counts the province of Manitoba as a proud participant, plans are under way to extend the Texas pet project right up past the Canadian border to an expanded port in Churchill," warns a Council of Canadians pamphlet entitled Behind Closed Doors that features pictures of the three leaders on its cover.

The U.S. embassy in Ottawa issued a press release yesterday calling the superhighway a myth.

A spokesman from the Prime Minister's Office scoffed at the claim, saying a simple denial that plans for the project are in the works would be "an understatement."

Even the North American Super Corridor Coalition (NASCO) says the superhighway is not one of its goals.

"We are concerned with improving the efficiency and security and safety of existing transportation infrastructure," said Frank Conde, the director of communications for NASCO.

The need for those improvements was made clear with the bridge collapse in Minneapolis earlier this month, Mr. Conde said. But there is no move by NASCO to create a separate international highway, he said.

Even if there is no specific proof that the highway is going ahead, the Council of Canadians says there is a plan to fortify trade corridors through North America that transport Canadian water to the United States while damaging the environment by putting more trucks on the road.

And, said Stuart Trew, a council spokesman, "it's fortifying this kind of pattern of the economy where goods are made in areas where civil liberties and human rights are lower and where you can make them cheaper."

What is the SPP?

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America is a framework for a trilateral relationship by the leaders of the United States, Canada

and Mexico.

It resulted from a get-together involving U.S. President George W. Bush, Canadian prime minister Paul Martin and Mexican president Vicente Fox, when they met in March of 2005 in Waco, Tex.

It states that the three countries will establish a co-operative approach to advance their common security and prosperity.

While the partnership talks about securing North America from internal and external threats, it also promises a streamlining of legitimate, low-risk traffic across the shared borders, as well as the promotion of economic growth, competitiveness and quality of life.

Critics in both Canada and the United States argue that it will infringe on national sovereignty and promote the import of cheaper goods from such places as China, and that the agreement was reached in secret without broad consensus.

Advocates dismiss those concerns as conspiracy theories of protectionists and say that the partnership will promote cross-border trade that is vital to the economies of all three nations.

Bush is a traitor, the NAU I hope will never materialize. If it does, the S will HTF, at least with me. If it doesnt for you, you need to check your priorities. It is a sick, demented thing and MUST be defeated. I hate this "No country is soverigen" crap. It has to stop. The socialist tryanny that is coming to this world makes me sick. Excuse me while I throw up now. Screw the NAU, Screw the UN, and while I am at it Screw the EU. Sorry if this is blunt but it is so sick and if it doenst enrage you, you really do need to get a life and WAKE UP!!!!

Thanks for this thread. This is a very important issue; if we merge with Canada and Mexico, which set of gun laws are going to apply? After all, Canada has very strict gun controls, and Mexicans are almost totally disarmed, except for licensed .22's. Then there is the question of what will happen to the rest of our Bill of Rights. How about our economy and the plan to replace the Dollar with a common currency called the Amero?

Here is a link concerning the ongoing efforts to bring to fruition the plan to merge countries into regional governments and eventually bring them into world government, as laid out by Carter National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinsky in his 1970 book, Between Two Ages. The download is about 5MB.

Articles include analysis of the NAU, SPP, the new North American ID Card, the NAFTA Super Highway, and plans to construct a new Mexican customs inspection facility in Kansas City, Missouri.

Sidebar: Zeitgeist video on youtube & elsewhere.

I wanted to post this with the original thread, but was directed here. As far as the North American Union, I'm new to this topic but everything I've seen so far concerned improved trade and legitimate commerce. I didn't see anything about dissolving all countries (and rights) involved to become one supernation.

Re: Zeitgeist, I've seen this sort of thing before. It smacks of propaganda.

For instance, it points an accusing finger at the story of Noah & the great flood implying plagiarism. It fails to mention that the great flood occurred a -very- long time before anyone sat down to record the bible, so obviously this event came from another record. That said, it means other historical sources must have corroborated the great flood. Instead, the video producers spun this into plagiarism.

See part 1, 27 mins 16 seconds into the video to review this passage.

Same with the story of Moses immediately afterward.

When there -isn't- corroboration, the producers accuse Jesus of being fictious. It failed to mention the writing of Matthew, Luke, John and Mark. All evidence presented was summarily discredited. So there you have it...with corroboration it's labeled plagiarism, without corroboration it's purely fiction.

Jesus accused of being fiction-32mins 14 sec

(Part II) The 9/11 claims are mostly bogus:
the world trade towers were deliberately demolished by demo charges – this has already been disproved. If nothing else, the collapse begins right where the fire was, not at the base. I’ve already seen the claims about thermite, etc. that presumes a pre-set charge exactly where the aircraft hit, but before it impacted.

I suspect this is propaganda, as it makes a point of discrediting the US Government and the monetary system and tax. What’s different about this one is that it tries to discredit Christianity through association and innuendo. Usually the extreme right wing stuff tries to associate with Christianity. This film fails to exert the same critique towards Hinduism, Buddhism or Islam. Further, it tries to exonerate the 9/11 hijackers (42 mins , 45 secs). Someone’s trying very hard to drive a wedge between us, our government and Christianity. This should give a hint who would benefit from this screed.

Another aspect I’d like you to ponder: the author of this video sells it on DVD, he’s happy to accept those valueless US Federal Reserve notes. (link)
