…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.
