They're kind of like a demented Energizer Bunny...wrapped in aluminum foil and going in circles.
Shoot dog,
Just find some "Indian Artifacts" and that will halt all construction for miles of the find.
They don't like digging on indian burial grounds.
Actually, this is a past vision, which is nearly seventy-five years.
The illegals aren't illegal, ladies and gentlemen; they've been citizens all their lives, for the most part.
Where in the world did they come up with that date? BS to rile up the bubbas.

Last week I wrote about a proposed 1,600-mile transnational highway that would span the North American continent from Mexico to Canada, a portion of which is well into the planning process - a 650-mile long road through Texas and Oklahoma. The Trans-Texas Corridor website shows an artist's rendition of a 1,200 foot wide super corridor that would encompass separate lanes for passenger vehicles (three in each direction) and trucks (two in each direction), six rail lines (separate lines in each direction for high-speed rail, commuter rail and freight rail), and a 200-foot wide utility corridor.
The corridor, roughly paralleling I-35, would bring cheap goods from Asian and Mexican manufacturers into America's heartland all the way into Canada, bypassing U.S. workers at seaports in California along with many railroad workers and truck drivers who would be replaced by less costly Mexican labor. The North American Super Corridor Coalition (NASCO), a trade and lobbying organization, supports development of these north-south connectors (and major east-west connectors to those highways) in all three countries.
NASCO's website says it is “dedicated to developing the world's first international, integrated and secure multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America . . . From the largest border-crossing in North America (The Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, Mi. and Windsor, Canada), to the second largest border crossing of Laredo, Texas and Neuvo Laredo, Mexico, extending to the deep water Ports of Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico and to Manitoba, Canada, the impressive, tri-national NASCO membership truly reflects the international scope of the Corridor and the regions it impacts.”
NASCO is not alone in hoping to capitalize on these transnational highways that would facilitate trade with Mexico and Canada. CANAMEX has identified a western route and the North American Forum on Integration has an eye on internationalizing existing north-south highways along four (Pacific, West, East and Atlantic) bands.
Two recent events have stimulated the plans of these trade organizations. On March 23, 2005, President Bush, Mexico's Vicente Fox and Canada's Paul Martin announced an agreement in Waco, Texas, to form the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. Its goal, they said, is to protect North America from external and internal threats, to streamline legitimate cross-border trade and travel and to implement common border-security strategies. How? By pursuing regulatory cooperation through ministerial-level working groups on the premise that the three countries are “mutually dependent and complementary.” Trilateral in concept, the partnership allows any two countries to adopt an agreed-upon action while creating “a path for the third to join later.” More than 20 “ministerial level” groups are at work in the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the U.S. Department of Commerce under Secretary Carlos Guiterrez. Names of the group members have not been revealed because, according to a U.S. official, the Bush administration does not want them “distracted by calls from the public.”
Perhaps even more foreboding is a task force report from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) that was presented to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 9, 2005. Now the Council on Foreign Relations is not affiliated with the U.S. Government or any other government. It was formed in 1921 by a group of businessmen, bankers, scholars and lawyers so that “individual and corporate members,” as well as everyone else in the country, “can better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other governments.” The report, a 59-page document, outlines a plan for the “establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community” with a “common outer-security perimeter” to achieve “the freer flow of people within North America.”
Further details of the plan for a continental perimeter revealed at that time included “an integrated continental plan for transportation and infrastructure that includes new North American highways and high-speed rail corridors.” The plan calls for open borders within which trade, capital and people flow freely into a “seamless North American market.” The plan also calls for unlimited access for Mexican trucks, and demands that we implement “the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the U.S. and Mexico,” create a fund to educate 60,000 Mexican students in U.S. colleges, offer massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries, and set up “a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution.” The call for “totalization,” (code language for encompassing illegal immigrants into the Social Security system which is bound to bankrupt the system), is very disturbing.
Essentially what they are describing here is akin to the European Union. They even suggest a common monetary unit - the Amero instead of the Euro. Do we want a tri-national government similar to the European Union, or do we want to maintain our traditional boundaries?
Unfortunately the vision of creating a Mexican middle class through the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) never materialized. How many companies have moved operations from Mexico to China where Chinese slave labor offers even better competitive odds? Indeed, China bodes to become the winner in this whole fiasco. Besides the companies and real estate it already owns here, it appears they are poised to inundate middle-class America with hordes of container imports of under-market goods. Industry experts expect cargo traffic to double by 2020. Hutchinson Ports, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China's giant Hutchinson Whampoa Limited is investing millions to expand deep-water ports at Lazaro Cardenas and Manzanillo. More millions are being pledged to dredge and convert Punta Colonet, a desolate Mexican bay in Baja, Ca., to a deep-water port capable of processing millions of containers.
In closing, I want to quote from Jerome Corsi's Aug. 9 article posted on humanevents.com website. “The argument is that in opening the U.S. to cheap Chinese goods, we are leading a world-wide ‘race to the bottom,' in which ‘the only priority is cost effective production, at the expense of workers, resources and sustainability.' The result is that the international capitalist owning companies such as Wal-Mart earn additional billions, while U.S. manufacturing continues to out-source an increasing number of jobs, and poor countries such as Mexico are only pulled deeper into poverty.”
Corsi continues: “At the same time, the squeeze on middle class employment opportunities will intensify as NAFTA super-highways and U.S. “inland port” cities replete with Mexican custom facilities encourage yet more outsourcing to China . . . Are cheap sneakers at Wal-Mart really worth the damage being done to the most successful middle class ever built in world history?” he asks. I believe that is a question worth pondering.
Wonder what's going on with all those donations for the fence?
Documents disclose 'shadow government'
Indicate U.S. far advanced in constructing bureaucracy united with Mexico, Canada

Government documents released by a Freedom of Information Act request reveal the Bush administration is running a "shadow government" with Mexico and Canada in which the U.S. is crafting a broad range of policy in conjunction with its neighbors to the north and south, asserts WND columnist and author Jerome R. Corsi.
The documents, a total of about 1,000 pages, are among the first to be released to Corsi through his FOIA request to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP, which describes itself as an initiative "to increase security and to enhance prosperity among the three countries through greater cooperation."
"The documents clearly reveal that SPP, working within the U.S. Department of Commerce, is far advanced in putting together a new regional infrastructure, creating a 'shadow' trilateral bureaucracy with Mexico and Canada that is aggressively rewriting a wide range of U.S. administrative law, all without congressional oversight or public disclosure," Corsi said.
Among the initial discoveries, said Corsi, is the existence of an internal Intranet website that never has been revealed to Congress or the public.
"This private internal website," he claims, "undoubtedly contains a wealth of documentation that the FOIA request has so far intentionally excluded."
Corsi told WND the documents reveal hundreds of internal meetings, memoranda of understanding and other referenced agreements that have not been disclosed.
"We have here the beginnings of a whitewash," he said, "in which SPP evidently thinks the public will be hoodwinked by a 'Myths vs. Facts' document posted for public relations purposes on their public website."
Among the documents is an organizational chart accompanied by a listing of trilateral Mexican, Canadian and U.S. administrative officers who report on multiple cabinet level "working groups."
The government watchdog Judicial Watch announced today it has received some of the same documents, including the organizational chart, which can be seen in this pdf file, on page seven.
"There is no specific authorization for this massive administrative-branch integration with Mexico and Canada other than what amounts to a press conference jointly issued by President Bush, Mexico's President Vicente Fox, and Canada's then-Prime Minister Paul Martin on March 23, 2005, at the end of their summit in Waco, Texas," Corsi said.
Corsi added that even the "Myth vs. Facts" blurb on the SPP.gov website admits the SPP is neither a treaty nor a law.
"The Bush administration is trying to create the infrastructure of a new regional North American government in stealth fashion, under the radar and out of public view," Corsi claims. "Where is Congress, asleep at the wheel?"
The SPP organizational chart Corsi obtained shows 13 working groups covering a wide range of public policy issues, including Manufactured Goods; Energy, Food & Agriculture; Rules of Origin' Health; E-Commerce; Transportation; Environment; Financial Services; Business Facilitation; External Threats to North America; Streamlined & Secured Shared Borders; and Prevention/Response within North America.
U.S. administrative-branch officers participating in these working groups are drawn from the U.S. departments of State, Homeland Security, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Health and Human Services, and the office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
The released documents affirm that counterparts from official governmental agencies in Mexico and Canada are combined with the U.S. administrative branch to form new trilateral "working groups" that actively rewrite U.S. administrative law to "harmonize" or "integrate" with administrative law in Mexico and Canada.
"What we have here amounts to an administrative coup d'etat," Corsi told WND. "Where does the Bush administration get the congressional authorization to invite two foreign nations to the table to rewrite U.S. law?"
The Stonecutters are behind this!!!!!
Please add me to your PING list.
Keep up the great work.
