(Conservative Libertarian) There
are people who insist the idea of a North American Union (NAU) is simply a conspiracy
theory. There are those who insist the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is simply
a think tank of concerned leaders attempting to make the economic lives more vital
for all. Then there are the facts. The
CFR consists of internationalists focused on creating the NAU, patterned after
the blueprint used to create the European Union. The CFR recently released a report,
Building a North American Community. The report uses the term community as a replacement
for Union as, I believe, the term gives a better feel to the plan, it sounds better
to the ear. For those thinking this is just some conspiracy theory the report
calls for "the creation by 2010 of a North American community.... Its boundaries
will be defined by common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within
which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and
safe." Doesn't
that sound so rosy and wonderful? It is a plan supported by Bush. In February
of 2001 the White House announced the United States, with Canada and Mexico, "will
strive to consolidate a North American economic community." The main tool
being used to lay the foundation is the NAFTA agreement signed by President Clinton
in 1993. At the signing were many dignitaries including former President's Ford
and Carter. There
are regular meetings held by the North American Forum on Integration where a lot
of plans, studies and symposiums are held. The CFR also has many meetings where
the internationalists discuss this new community approach to life on the North
American continent. Plans are well underway for the construction of corridors
of commerce, superhighways, running from Canada to Mexico. See the below map to
get a feel for what those plans are shaping up to look like.
Is
it possible this approach to the new community may allow importing of goods from
countries like China, through cheaper Mexican ports, delivered by lower paid Mexican
truck drivers? Is it possible this may have some impact on the U.S. trucking industry,
not to mention the major U.S. based ports where goods currently are shipped in
and out of our country? Is it possible this may pose any type of threat to the
future sovereignty of the United States or Canada? Is it possible the only real
winners will be corporations and the international bankers backing these plans?Who
are the members of the CFR? There are over a thousand of them and some are running
for President of the United States in 2008.
Does
anyone else find this alarming? Should we be concerned about this or is this a
good thing? |
