Bush sneaking North American super-state without oversight?

Despite having no authorization from Congress, the Bush administration has launched extensive working-group activity to implement a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada.

The membership of the working groups has not been published, nor has their work product been disclosed, despite two years of massive effort within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

The groups, working under the North American Free Trade Association office in the Department of Commerce, are to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.

This trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration not submitted to Congress for review, led to the creation of the SPP office within the Department of Commerce.

The SPP report to the heads of state of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, -- released June 27, 2005, -- lists some 20 different working groups spanning a wide variety of issues ranging from e-commerce, to aviation policy, to borders and immigration, involving the activity of multiple U.S. government agencies.

The working groups have produced a number of memorandums of understanding and trilateral declarations of agreement.

The Canadian government and the Mexican government each have SPP offices comparable to the U.S. office.

Geri Word, who heads the SPP office within the NAFTA office of the U.S. Department of Commerce affirmed to WND last Friday in a telephone interview that the membership of the working groups, as well as their work products, have not been published anywhere, including on the Internet.

Why the secrecy?

"We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public," said Word.

She suggested to WND that the work products of the working groups was described on the SPP website, so publishing the actual documents did not seem required.

WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups. The closest to enabling legislation was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., on April 20, 2005. Listed as S. 853, the bill was titled "North American Cooperative Security Act: A bill to direct the Secretary of State to establish a program to bolster the mutual security and safety of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and for other purposes." The bill never emerged from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

In the House of Representatives, the same bill was introduced by Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Fla., on May 26, 2005. Again, the bill languished in the House Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment.

WND cannot find any congressional committees taking charge for specific oversight of SPP activity.

WND has requested from Word in the U.S. Department of Commerce a complete listing of the contact persons and the participating membership for the working groups listed in the June 2005 SPP report to the trilateral leaders. In addition, WND asked to see all work products, such as memorandums of understanding, letters of intent, and trilateral agreements that are referenced in the report.

Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American Union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.

Referring to the SPP joint declaration, the report, entitled "Building a North American Community," stated:

The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership can be pursued and realized.

To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary." Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America.

The CFR task force report called for establishment of a common security border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement of people, commerce and capital within North America, facilitated by the development of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S. passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Also envisioned by the CFR task force report were a North American court, a North American inter-parliamentary group, a North American executive commission, a North American military defense command, a North American customs office and a North American development bank.

Hey it's not so bad, I'm looking forward to watching the French-Canadians and the Mexicans fight over which one of their languages gets to be the "official" second language of North America.

[DoctorMichael]

Glo-baloney Bump!

[namvet66]

Well, the Globalists, "United Countries of 'North' America" and "One-World" crowd must be ecstatic over this prospect.

This one seems to be flying just beneath the radar, as I have heard/read very little about it and did not realize that it (appears to be/is) a "fait accompli;" a "hecho arreglo," or in good ol English, a "Done Deal."

This is great. We are going to have a "Spanish" company paying for and building (no doubt using "undocumented workers" as laborers) a "Toll Road" (AND NO DOUBT, ONLY ACCEPT "AMEROS"--the New Proposed Currency)across the US of A, which will be "restricted" in its use for us "commoners."

It is times like this that I no longer wish that I was 21 again, as I fear that in 20 - 30 years from now, this wonderful and great Country of ours, will "No Longer Be!"

[AmishDude]

Yes, the mysterious new world order.

Woooooeeeeeeeoooooo

[cripplecreek]

Actually both parties seem to have the same goal.

[conservativecorner]

There's no mystery here. You just have to look and become educated on what is taking place. It's a lot easier to throw up a cartoon, as opposed to becoming knowledgeable concerning the giving away of our sovereignty.

My money's on the Mexicans, the Frogs will whine and snivel and give up.

[AmishDude]

I just want to know if it's the size of the JFK conspiracy or is it of Da Vinci Code proportions.

No, wait, this might be Area 51 stuff here.

[IncPen]

This smells alot like H!llary sCare® in the way it's being handled...

[dljordan]

"It's a lot easier to throw up a cartoon, as opposed to becoming knowledgeable concerning the giving away of our sovereignty."

It seems to me that every time someone warned about this in the past they got deluged with cutesy tin-foil-hat pictures. I've seen people deny that there is a CFR or Bilderberg group.

[conservativecorner]

Is there anything in the article that is an untruth? Surely you have something other than a one liner, or is this your whole ball of wax?

[David Isaac]

There are probably d--- few on this board who can remember who derailed Bush Sr.'s presidential bid in 1980, and why.

[Montana4Jesus]

President George Bush, President Vicente Fox of Mexico, and Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada unveiled a blueprint for a safer and more prosperous North America when they announced the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) on March 23 in Waco, TX. They agreed on ambitious security and prosperity agendas to keep our borders closed to terrorism and open to trade. The SPP is based on the premise that security and our economic prosperity are mutually reinforcing, and recognizes that our three great nations are bound by a shared belief in freedom, economic opportunity, and strong democratic institutions.

The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.

Guided by a Leaders Statement and Action Plans on Security and Prosperity, Cabinet Secretaries and Ministers convened trilateral working groups to develop concrete work plans and specific timetables for securing North America and ensuring legitimate travelers and cargo efficiently cross our shared borders; enhancing the competitive position of North American industries in the global marketplace; and, providing greater economic opportunities for all of our societies while maintaining high standards of health and safety.

This is straight from the Home Page of the Website WWW.SPP.GOV

[AmishDude]

I've seen people deny that there is a CFR or Bilderberg group.

Don't forget about the trilateralists.

You can't forget the trilateralists.

[OB1kNOb]

"Actually both parties seem to have the same goal."

That's been my assessment too, based on their actions. - OB1

[dljordan]

"You can't forget the trilateralists."

Ancient history.

[conservativecorner]

From their own mouths, and ya just can't make this stuff up:

The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.

[AmishDude]

But what does that eye on the top of the pyramid mean?

You know what I'm talking about...

[AmishDude]

Yes.

Trilateral.

It means three-way.

And not in a kinky way, either. It just means three-party talks. Guess what they call two-party talks?

Yep, bilateral. (I'll bet you thought Elton John was bilateral, right?)

And guess what quadrilateral means in geometry?

Go ahead, guess...

[ActionNewsBill]

Actually both parties seem to have the same goal.

How true...it used to be the Dems leading the way into the New World Order with the Republicans (barely) holding them in check.

Now the Republicans are apparently heading the Nation into one big Globalist family, with the full support of the base..

[Kimberly GG]

Cartoons and stupid keywords the best you've got or is there something in the article you care to refute?

[Sarajevo]

I guess that our first option is to derail the TTC (Trans-Texas Corridor) and all other tolling schemes. Our roadways are already paid for.

[conservativecorner]

Since you have nothing to say which is educated or on point concerning the subject, see ya.

[AmishDude]

Honestly, I didn't do the keywords. I really didn't. They're pretty funny, though.

CUESPOOKYMUSIC; GLOBALISTSUNDERMYBED; MORETHORAZINEPLEASE; NOTTHISCRAPAGAIN; PARANOIA; THEBOOGEYMAN;

Hee hee.

[MikefromOhio]

There's no mystery here. You just have to look and become educated on what is taking place. It's a lot easier to throw up a cartoon, as opposed to becoming knowledgeable concerning the giving away of our sovereignty.

Ah yes, the old "get educated and look around" arguement. Could it be that Corsi is peddling this crap so people like you would eat it right up CC? Nah that's not possible, he doesn't need to sell books or anything.

Go back to your pipe dreams, I mean, after all, I am sure there is a UN Army underneath the Denver Airport.

[namvet66]

The SPP provides the framework to ensure that North America is the safest and best place to live and do business. The Partnership is a trilateral effort to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation and information-sharing.

That's all well and good, and if that is ALL it was, no one would have their knickers all bunched up.

This AIN'T no NAFTA or even NAFTA-Lite.

What scares a bunch of us is:

"The CFR task force report called for establishment of a common security border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement of people, commerce and capital within North America, facilitated by the development of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S. passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.'

WHAT PART OF "OPEN BORDERS" DON'T YOU GET OUT OF THIS?

"Also envisioned by the CFR task force report were a North American court, a North American inter-parliamentary group, a North American executive commission, a North American military defense command, a North American customs office and a North American development bank.

IF THAT DOES NOT ADD UP TO A "NORTH AMERICAN UNION," PROPOSAL,THEN THOSE OF US WHO ARE "CONCERNED," MUST BE DISLEXIC, OR JUST PLAIN STUPID--OH YEAH, AND A BUCH OF CONSPIRACY THEORIST, AS "AMISHDUDE" CONTENDS.

[AmishDude]

Son (and I mean that in the most condescending way possible), the whole point is that this entire discussion is a paranoid delusional fantasy. There is no educated point to be made on the subject except the one in the previous sentence.

[CWOJackson]

Same old crap, different title...and be careful about those Denver airport jokes...I'll be there tomorrow.

[Edgar3]

Dude, you have got to be trying to pull some chains on this. If you are SERIES downplaying these events, it's a HUGH insult to the truth. These globalists are not trying to hide any of this. It's been in plain site for decades now.

[conservativecorner]

It's easier for them to show up, say nothing except one liners which I have concluded is the path that someone who has nothing to say always takes. They won't actually discuss the thread because there is no refuting the facts of the article.

[AmishDude]

replace a U.S. passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico

Now, it's been a long time since I've gone to the Great White North but for time immemorial you didn't need a passport to go back and forth between the US and Canada, so this would seem to be an improvement, would it not?

[AmishDude]

I won't even get into the reverse vampires.

[Kimberly GG]

"Cartoons and stupid keywords the best you've got or is there something in the article you care to refute?"

"Honestly, I didn't do the keywords. I really didn't."

Nothing you can refute....just as I thought.

[conservativecorner]

What part of the article do you disagree with or refute? I provided plenty of links within the article, so please point out where Mr. Corsi is wrong in the article?

[ActionNewsBill]

It's easier for them to show up, say nothing except one liners which I have concluded is the path that someone who has nothing to say always takes.

Looks like Amish Dude has already called in reinforcements to help in his quest to discredit the thread and the informed posters.

Expect to see a plethora of lame and ignorant posts.

[Kimberly GG]

They behave this way because they are for open borders and are, infact, globalists themselves?

[P.O.E.]

The ultimate conspiracy theory - out in the open because no-one will believes conspiracies.

[hedgetrimmer]

Another article by Corsi.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

LOL....those french canadians are going to be in a tizzy...LOL. GOOD!!

[ActionNewsBill]

The ultimate conspiracy theory - out in the open because no-one will believes conspiracies.

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." --Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli of England, in 1844.

"The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of a society which originated in England ... (and) ... believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established."-- Professor of History Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University, in his book "Tragedy and Hope".

"Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." - Woodrow Wilson

"[The New World Order] cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the most significant single component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change it's perceptions." -- Henry Kissenger, World Affairs Council Press Conference, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel , April 19th 1994

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

Why refute the nuts?


Why refute the non-existant?

You can't prove a negative.

[CWOJackson]

Seems like the only sneaking the President is up to is to visit the troops in Iraq.

[Iscool]

In the House of Representatives, the same bill was introduced by Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Fla.,

Katherine Harris is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations...

[hedgetrimmer]

What is a 'working group'?

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

yeah

But I'll let them have their delusions. It's VERY entertaining to make fun of them.

I'm actually amazed I haven't been threatened yet. That's the general course these threads take anyway.

[dljordan]

"But what does that eye on the top of the pyramid mean?"

I thought it was an ad for an Optometrist.

[MikefromOhio]

What is a nutzo?

[zeaal]

Hello NAU - North American Union! eek
