North American Federation: Secretary Napolitano, Canadian officials meet


by JIM KOURI on MAY 31, 2013

Editor’s note: In late 2011, we wrote an article about the creation of a North American Union between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Barack Obama announced that this supranational plan was to prevent terrorism and enhance trade. See: ‘US-Canada Law Enforcement ‘to operate on both sides of the border.’

The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and several officials from Canada, including Denis Lebel, Transport, Infrastructure and Communities minister and Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews, on Thursday released what they termed the “first-ever joint United States-Canada Border Infrastructure Investment Plan (BIIP).” According to Napolitano, “The development and release of this initiative fulfills a commitment made under the 2011 United States-Canada Beyond the Border Action Plan.”

“An integrated, bilateral approach to border investment is critical to both the U.S. and Canadian economies,” said she said during a news conference “The Border Infrastructure Investment Plan offers enhanced security along our shared U.S.-Canadian border, while reducing wait times at major border crossings — increasing the flow of traffic across the border while ensuring safe and secure trade and travel.”

“Modern border crossings are essential to trade, which is why the Border Infrastructure Investment Plan and the collaborative relationship with our American neighbors are so important,” said Minister Lebel. “Our government is investing in border crossings, ports and gateways to reduce wait times, increase trade and create jobs.”

The large number of American and Canadian citizens who are aware of the US-Canadian plan to eventually form a North American Union, has caused internationalists and socialists on both sides of the border to revamp their plans, according to a source in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, who requested anonymity.

In addition to security and intelligence concerned, CSIS is in-charge of Canada’s border security program.

While conservatives have for years protested the threat of the “New World Order,” fewer of them are familiar with the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership. A major factor in the program being known to only a few Americans and Canadians is the deafening silence by the news media.

According to political strategist Mike Baker, in order to prevent news coverage of the fledgling North American Union or North American Federation, political leaders and left-wing journalists have successfully portrayed anyone who speaks out on the subject as a crackpot or a member of a fringe group.

“It’s almost like something out of Orwell’s book 1984. Big Brother’s news was manipulated based on the government’s need of a specific storyline.

On Monday, the enemy is Eurasia. But by Friday the enemy is Oceania and has always been Oceania,” said Baker.

Proponents of consolidation of the US, Canada and Mexico are thrilled with the plans being formulated in little-known meetings that may have an unwelcome ripple effect, the Canadian think-tank the Fraser Institute suggested renaming the “North American Union” in order to offset the mounting criticism of the Obama administration’s far-left geopolitical ideology.

In an article titled, “Saving the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership”, published in March by the Fraser Institute, the writers contend that U.S. and Canadian officials decided to expend no more political capital in pursuing “the bust” that has occurred because of the “brand name” of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America or SPP.

“The solution, the Institute argues, is a complete makeover in which the goals of North American political and economic integration continue to be pursued, but the name of the desired entity is changed to keep the average citizens in the dark about the program” stated thethink tank’s treatise.

Even the Fraser Institute advocates dismissing opponents of the SPP as “conspiracy theorists.”

In fact, according to the NewsWithViews.com source within the CSIS, officials at the Fraser Institute proposed the name “North American Union,” or NAU, be discarded and replaced with “North American Standards and Regulatory Area,” or NASRA.

The Fraser Institute article acknowledges that the attacks by SPP critics “are starting to hurt.”“The think tank also acknowledges that the SPP has a “low profile” stresses that trilateral talks within the bureaucratic working groups constituted under SPP by the three governments are continuing on both security and competitiveness policy issues,” said George Landrith, a U.S. homeland security expert with the National Association of Chiefs of Police.“

Its critics may have tarnished the ‘SPP brand,’” the Institute’s officials concede, “but the precise areas of its work need to follow where NAFTA left off and to do so by [using] a post-9/11 strategy such as security criteria, public safety and quality of life issues such as pandemic illnesses and food safety.

”The Fraser Institute paper also encourages the SPP working groups to develop “a better communications strategy,” so that the public “can begin to understand its benefits.”“In other words, they wish to utilize the age-old tactic of using euphemisms and semantics in order to pull a fast one on the American and Canadian people,” warns Mike Baker. It’s easy, they done it by changing “Global Warming” to “Climate Change” as well.

Officials at the Fraser Institute are opposed to expanding the list of SPP advisers to include public interest groups or the media, preferring to stay with the secret, closed-door advice offered by the 30 corporations picked by the chambers of commerce in the three countries to serve as members of the North American Competitiveness Council, or NACC, according to Landrith.The think tank researchers have admitted that “there is an enormous problem of illegal entry, drug smuggling, and violent incidents on the Mexican border,” while continuing to argue “there is also a very large legal and orderly flow of goods between Mexico and the United States.”

“The BIIP is an interagency and binational planning mechanism developed to establish a mutual understanding of recent, ongoing, and potential border infrastructure investments. It outlines the approach that the United States and Canada will take to coordinate plans for physical infrastructure upgrades at small and remote ports of entry. This initiative will be updated and disseminated annually,” according to the U.S. Homeland Security officials.

“An integrated, bilateral approach to border investment is critical to both the U.S. and Canadian economies,” said she said during a news conference “The Border Infrastructure Investment Plan offers enhanced security along our shared U.S.-Canadian border, while reducing wait times at major border crossings — increasing the flow of traffic across the border while ensuring safe and secure trade and travel.”
