Mexico, United States, Canada... One Nation, Under Socialism

Last March, President Bush met in Waco with Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin to announce the creation of a "Security and Prosperity Partnership" for North America (SPP). Building on the North American Free Trade Agreement, the SPP would deepen the economic, political, and security relationships between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Within weeks, literally hundreds of tri-national initiatives had been organized to begin the process of knitting the three nations together in a new "partnership" with a common trade policy and a common security perimeter.

Robert Pastor of the Council on Foreign Relations, who is one of the co-architects of the SPP's blueprint, has explained that the vision behind that initiative calls for citizens of the U.S., along with Mexicans and Canadians, to cease thinking of themselves as citizens of their respective countries, and embrace a new identity as "North Americans." This would mean the abolition of the United States , the repudiation of our Declaration of Independence, and the abandonment of our constitutional Republic in favor of a North American version of the socialist European Union.

And the process wouldn't stop there. Already, through the Central American Free Trade Agreement, the campaign to amalgamate the Americas has encompassed six nations of Central America and the Caribbean. Negotiations for creating the hemisphere-wide Free Trade Area of the Americas are presently stalled, because the Marxist government of Brazil has rallied opposition within Mercosur, a trade bloc composed of South American nations. That group seeks creation of a more overtly socialist trade bloc for South America. However, those promoting the FTAA have not relented in their drive to consolidate the entire Western Hemisphere into a EU-style mega-state.

"From the U.S. perspective ... we remain committed to trying to achieve free trade in the Western Hemisphere," stated Deputy Secretary of State (and former U.S. Trade Representative) Robert B. Zoellick, Deputy Secretary of State during an October 6 press conference at the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia, Brazil. "And, as I said at a number of occasions, there is always two ways to do this: you could do it all at once in the Free Trade Area of the Americas ... or we can just keep doing it group-by-group-by-group. So... one of the things I spent considerable time on earlier this year was completing our congressional action on the Central American Free Trade Agreement. So that's with five countries in Central America and the Dominican Republic.... We are getting close to completing a free trade agreement with Panama. We hope to try in the coming month or two to be able to complete an agreement with some of the Andean countries, so Colombia, Peru, Ecuador. We already have a free trade agreement with Chile. So, you know, I hope that again progress will be made at the global level. We will continue with these bilateral or sub-regional agreements, and ... I hope again that the environment will be conducive at some point to do this with Brazil and the Mercosur countries as well."
