…and will continue to do so until some doubting Thomases realize that it is not merely a spaced out, paranoid, Ludlumesque conspiracy theory, but a bona fide, real life stealth agenda that may well rear its hideous head, much to the unpleasant surprise of most and the joy of some, in the latter case a lot of mega-rich businessmen with extranational interests and as many anti-American entities who have long envisioned the decommissioning of both our sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution, as early as the year 2010.

The horse in question is, of course, the North American Union {NAU, for short}, better known as the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership {SPP}.

Disguised as a mere agreement of cooperative effort between the three countries (the U.S., Mexico and Canada) that comprise the continent of North America, the SPP actually masks something rather more involved, that being a merging of the three governments, in much the same way as the countries of Europe have combined to form the European Union {EU}.

As in the latter case, this union would include the elimination of sovereign borders and a congress consisting of representation by the governments of all member countries. Because our Constitution is unique, changes would be mandated to accommodate the governing sensibilities of Mexico and Canada, not least those articles concerned with the rights of citizens. Property rights, free speech rights, the right to keep and bear arms, rights of protest and assembly….

Mexico’s civil and human rights policies are downright oppressive compared to ours, and changes engendered would have to include compromises that would be unacceptable to most Americans, including many of those Utopian liberal idiots who would endorse such a change until, too late, they realize what they have brought not only upon themselves, but upon the rest of America.

The only people who would not have a problem are those possessing assets in eight figures and above, whose wealth would place them, as always, high above the “pedestrian” concerns of the rank & file citizen.

There are two arguments I’ve encountered that encourage this entire issue to be consigned to the “conspiracy theory” heap:

1. Why isn’t there any mainstream media coverage on the SPP vs NAU kerfuffle?

2. It couldn’t happen because the American people “won’t stand for it”.

In answer to “1.”, well the Bush Administration, the Council on Foreign Relations {CFR} and their counterparts in Mexico and Canada have shared neither their work nor their under-the-table negotiations with the congresses/parliaments or media of their respective countries, and have even gone as far as barring the press from covering some of their conferences, one of which I referred to in a previous post on the subject that was held in Canada.

As far as “2.” is concerned, well, face it — a stealth agenda can be termed thus because it is not one the public will be briefed on prior to an election, but one that will be gradually prepped, the final implementation reaching fruition within months after an election day, and presented with the usual deceptive honey coating of any distateful political presentation.

Whether the governed will “stand for it” or not is a moot point, the only alternatives, once the change has been made, will be the threat of voting out the incumbents involved in the next election, which won’t amount to a hill of beans as there would be plenty of time for those at the helm to accellerate their plans before another voting cycle arrived, and armed revolution, which might have been a distinct possibility a couple of centuries ago, but is highly unlikely today — the nature of the American people as we were in the 1700s has been profoundly diluted by the gradual surge of liberalism in this country that has so tainted and distorted the perception of the original intentions of our founding fathers by all too many Americans.

All that said, I have a couple of links here, both going back to the middle of last year, that give further evidence than I have previously presented to the existence and concept of the NAU agenda.

First, let’s become acquainted with one Robert Pastor.

In his pressing enthusiasm for realizing the NAU, Robert Pastor argued in a 2004 article in CFR’s Foreign Affairs, entitled “North America’s Second Decade,” that the United States would benefit by giving up U.S. national Sovereignty. “Countries are benefited,” he wrote, “when they changed these [national sovereignty] policies, and evidence suggests that North Americans are ready for a new relationship that renders this old definition of sovereignty obsolete.”

Truncating,

Critics who argue that the NAU is a “conspiracy theory” are well advised to take a hard look at Robert Pastor. With U.S. policy toward Latin America, Dr. Pastor first approached the issue in writing (for the radical IPS, as we have noted), next as a university professor, and finally as a government official. Had John Kerry won the 2004 presidential election, Robert Pastor most likely would have emerged with a government position from which he could have pursued his NAU agenda. Given the re-election of George Bush, Dr. Pastor has surfaced within the CFR, an influential “think-tank” NGO whose history of impacting U.S. policy would suggest the CFR impact on SPP.gov could easily be more than academic.

This article contains several excellent links, and I would highly recommend taking the time to read all of them.

Presidential candidate George W. Bush stated in August 2000 in a speech on Latin America in Miami Florida:

“…By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.”

Our intentionally unsecured borders and our government’s deliberate and unapologetic lack of enforcement of our immigration and employment laws is merely a necessary step to a much larger goal - a “New America” in a “North American Community.”

A New America that would replace the traditional self-governing “Old America” for which our founders sacrificed and our grandfathers fought to pass on.

In March 2005, President George W. Bush and the leaders of Mexico and Canada announced the establishment of the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.” This represents the official public beginning of an ongoing series of agreements and implementations aimed at combining the economies, populations and cultures of the nations of North America into a borderless “North American Free Trade Zone”.

Think: “I pledge allegiance to the Continent and to the Commerce for which it stands.”

Along with mass, uncontrolled immigration, legal and illegal, trade agreements are a favored tool in the transformation. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the recently passed Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), and the upcoming attempt to put the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) in place would guarantee a unending “free flow” of goods and people across our traditional borders.

… no money, including membership dues, to the Republican (or any other) Party this year can be found here.

For the last few years, I haven’t seen them justify my support and while I contributed prior to this last November election, voted a straight Republican ticket and will undoubtedly do so again in 2008, until they start listening to what we, the people who put them and keep them in office want they will receive no more monetary support from me.

However, on a cheerier note, the man who has for some time been my own first choice as the next President may run in 2008!

Tom Tancredo will get a contribution from me if he decides to run.

The rest of those complacent, self seeking denizens of the Hill need to grow their spines back and start acting like Republicans before they see any more of my money…

…here in Charlotte, it’s a warm, pleasant spring day in the middle of January, and I’m enjoying it working out back on my deck and taking this blogging break surrounded by green (fortunately, four of the big trees in my backyard are evergreens, and my grass and shrubs are mostly the kind that stay green all year). This being one of the places birds fly south to for the winter, there’s lots of assorted chatter going on in the trees, and the Bach I have playing at the moment is at a perfect low volume to allow the bird music to improvise with it. Aaaah….

The great Phin, to whom I owe quite a lot, has moved me to a WordPress publishing platform and for the last couple of days I have seen no spambot traffic to speak of. This is my first post- move post, and WordPress looks completely different from Moveable Type, so at the moment I’m hoping I do it right.

In the past week and then some since I last posted, I have read a few news items and blog posts that I want to share here while I prepare to start posting more regularly again, such as….

In the last few days we’ve seen Mahmoud Abbas demonstrate the exact definition of a moderate Palestinian.

On the eve of a visit by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the region, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told supporters on Thursday that they should turn their guns on Israel and not on each other.

Well, he was Arafat’s protege, and as they say, the fruit never falls far from the tree. Still, it was sound business; As long as he had the stupid, gullible asses we call politicians and diplomats believing he was interested in peaceful coexistence, he was eligible for yours and my tax dollars. How nice.

Then, we were presented with another great example of liberal hypocrisy, courtesy of the New York Times in another of those portsider “do as I say, not as I do” episodes.

Earlier today, Boston Globe representatives of the New York Times Co. met with executive committee members of the Boston Newspaper Guild — confirming plans for a new round of employee buyouts and job outsourcing.

Rather than leading our industry by example and competing vigorously with a creative business plan, New York has chosen to reduce staff and outsource in order to go along with the status quo. These actions are repulsive given the fact that the New York Times preaches ethics at every turn, and routinely lectures the nation on how to treat working Americans.

Once again, the Times Co. is standing true to a “Do as we say, not as we do” mentality. While the Boston Newspaper Guild recognizes a decline in revenue at the Boston Globe and throughout the industry, we disagree with the methods that New York employs to combat these circumstances.

All I can say to that last paragraph is, Yo, mainstream media! Of course there is a decline in revenues, you blockheads! Those readers of yours — the former ones, that is — got tired of your partisan political spin, omissions of such “picayunes” as the truth and your altogether Cold War Pravda approach to reporting the news. In short, they have come to realize that you believe they are stupid and that you are insulting their intelligence.

As for the rest, what’s new? Liberals believe that what they feel is best for everyone else doesn’t apply to them. They are speh-shal. Ask Nancy Pelosi, for example, how many of the employees in her private businesses belong to unions…

In the Blogosphere, Thespis, of Thespis Journal fame, has a great post up on Barbara the flake Boxer putting her foot in her mouth — kinda sorta like John Kerry did with his “joke” that labelled our brave troops in Iraq as dumb losers, in that the rest of the Democrats hastily distanced themselves from the gaffe rather than support it (crickets chirping, anyone?) — in a Blogburst For Condi.

BobG at Sweet Spirits Of Ammonia discusses Juan Williams’ new book, and does it so well that he’s gotten it onto my own reading list despite my personal umbrage with its author’s overall political point of view.

And on an interesting note, how about a rather non-detailed report about high-tech surveillance devices built into Canadian coins?

Nope, I’m not done yet, one of my favorite columnists, Greg Crosby, has an enjoyable New Years reflection I’d like to share.

Sorry I haven’t posted anything since New Year’s Eve, but I’ve been beyond swamped in catching up on a ton of work I took a couple of breaks from to entertain over Christmas and New Year’s, reading credit reports and checking references of prospective tenants to rent my house to, preparing the house for a tenant as much as I can while still living in it and sorting things out for my own move, and I’ve had precious little time to spend keeping up with my email, let alone my blog.

I finally got some time to visit a few of my favorite sites and do a little bit of other reading, and ran across this Ronald Reagan quote at the head of the comment section over at Gayle’s blog:

If we ever forget we are a nation Under God, we will become a nation gone under.

It brought to mind an excellent OpEd by Dennis Prager that appeared in Wednesday’s Jewish World Review that I would like to share, which can be found here.

As in all things, the atheist left in this country bases their propaganda strategies on those of their communist brethren of Cold War Europe — knowing that they’ll never sell their anti God agenda to the masses using any kind of honest approach, they choose instead to sleaze sneak around behind our proverbial backs; revise history, depicting our founding fathers as atheists wherever they can get away with it, working through our education system, and quell all public symbols and references to G-d via the legal system.

Their godlessness, hell, downright soullessness makes it easy for them to impugn, besmirch, exaggerate, spin, attack and lie without compunction.

Their utterly twisted goal is to engender spiritual barrenness in future generations, a prerequisite to establishing the kind of leftist country they wish to see America become.

Personally, I pray to G-d that America’s belief in Him remains firm, and that this enemy within fails miserably. I love my country and its traditions and Judeo-Christian beliefs just as they are, thank you.
