Thread: North American Union Already Starting to Replace USA

In March 2005 at their summit meeting in Waco, Tex., President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin issued a joint statement announced the creation of the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The creation of this new agreement was never submitted to Congress for debate and decision. Instead, the U.S. Department of Commerce merely created a new division under the same title to implement working groups to advance a North American Union working agenda in a wide range of areas, including: manufactured goods, movement of goods, energy, environment, e-commerce, financial services, business facilitation, food and agriculture, transportation, and health.

SPP is headed by three top cabinet level officers of each country. Representing the United States are Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Representing Mexico are Secretario de Economía Fernando Canales, Secretario de Gobernación Carlos Abascal, and Secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, Luis Ernesto Derbéz. Representing Canada are Minister of Industry David L. Emerson, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety, Anne McLellan, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Pierre Stewart Pettigrew.

Reporting in June 2005 to the heads of state of the three countries, the trilateral SPP emphasized the extensive working group structure that had been established to pursue an ambitious agenda:

In carrying out your instructions, we established working groups under both agendas of the Partnership – Security and Prosperity. We held roundtables with stakeholders, meetings with business groups and briefing sessions with Legislatures, as well as with other relevant political jurisdictions. The result is a detailed series of actions and recommendations designed to increase the competitiveness of North America and the security of our people.

This is not a theoretical exercise being prepared so it can be submitted for review. Instead, SPP is producing an action agreement to be implemented directly by regulations, without any envisioned direct Congressional oversight.

Upon your review and approval, we will once again meet with stakeholders and work with them to implement the workplans that we have developed.

And again, the June 2005 SPP report stresses:

The success of our efforts will be defined less by the contents of the work plans than by the actual implementation of initiatives and strategies that will make North America more prosperous and more secure.

Reviewing the specific working agenda initiatives, the goal to implement directly is apparent. Nearly every work plan is characterized by action steps described variously as “our three countries signed a Framework of Common Principles …” or “we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding …,” or “we have signed a declaration of intent …” etc. Once again, none of the 30 or so working agendas makes any mention of submitting decisions to the U.S. Congress for review and approval. No new U.S. laws are contemplated for the Bush administration to submit to Congress. Instead, the plan is obviously to knit together the North American Union completely under the radar, through a process of regulations and directives issued by various U.S. government agencies.

What we have here is an executive branch plan being implemented by the Bush administration to construct a new super-regional structure completely by fiat. Yet, we can find no single speech in which President Bush has ever openly expressed to the American people his intention to create a North American Union by evolving NAFTA into this NAFTA-Plus as a first, implementing step.

Anyone who has wondered why President Bush has not bothered to secure our borders is advised to spend some time examining the SPP working groups’ agenda. In every area of activity, the SPP agenda stresses free and open movement of people, trade, and capital within the North American Union. Once the SPP agenda is implemented with appropriate departmental regulations, there will be no area of immigration policy, trade rules, environmental regulations, capital flows, public health, plus dozens of other key policy areas countries that the U.S. government will be able to decide alone, or without first consulting with some appropriate North American Union regulatory body. At best, our border with Mexico will become a speed bump, largely erased, with little remaining to restrict the essentially free movement of people, trade, and capital.

How can this be binding without congressional approval? What govenment agencies would recognize it as binding and what citizen is going to take it as law? I will not recognize any group outside of our own government. What Bush has done is an impeachable offense.

My post on Canada reflects their opposition to this behind closed doors agreements.

Canada's parliment was kept in the dark too. The only people in the know on this stuff are the CEOs from Canada, Mexico and the U.S. who attended the meetings with Bush, Harper and Fox.

There is serious opposition through all nations on this continent to Bush and Co. and the secrecy. Opposition groups are formed and very active. Many multi national meetings between these groups and citizens of those nations have taken place. We are talking serious attendance at them. At one I read 80,000 had attended.

Many concerns have been expressed and as nations refuse to agree to the FTAA, Bush has waved the flag by placing troops in the areas under the guise of "training expiditions".

Many nations have signed agreements sans the U.S. with more transparency and concerns for human rights.

The only mushrooms left in the dark are the U.S. citizens.

SERIOUS question to one of you guys who are more experienced in this. Treaties are suppose to be a public document. Could that document be acquired through a FOIA request. William made the remark the other day... "where is this document". Canadians don't know the details either but they do know thier water and other resources are being dumped into a world pot and they are concerned about safety issues with food and prescriptions etc.

Our Canadian counter part - we are not alone in the struggle.

In other words, headed up by "The Three Stooges."

I have looked through the site, but not at everything. This is government website with links to the white house web site. It is there for any and all to see.

A long read but spells out exactly what the plan is.

The CFR is of course not a governing body but this is exactly the plan that is being implemented. No it is not constitutional but I think the government has been working outside the boundaries of the constitution for a long time now.
