Yesterday under the heading of GLOBALISATION & One World Government I spoke of the conspirators who are plotting for a One World government where the elite would control the masses. This was kept secret for many years but in the article below they are mentioned as their plans have been so successful so far that they are not afraid to come out into the open., and the smears ridiculing conspiracy theorists have largely ceased.

North American Forum: The Secret Cabal of Trinational Elites

"We're talking about such an important thing, we're talking about the integration of Canada into the United States. For them to hold this meeting in secret and to make every effort to avoid anybody learning about it, right away you've got to be hugely concerned," [Mel] Hurtig said.

My first thought following the news of the secret meeting of elites at Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta, Canada (Sept. 12-14), was that this amounted to a new group of insiders in the tradition of the Bilderbergers. This assessment turned out to be more precise than I had originally anticipated.

According to a participant at the 2006 North American Forum held in Banff, the Forum began last year as a "parallel structure" to the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) for North America, which was announced on March 23, 2005 in Waco, Texas. As the Banff conference was coming to a close, Thomas Shannon addressed officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Ottawa, Canada:

I ... had a chance to go out to Banff, where yesterday and today actually, Canada, the United States and Mexico held the second session of the North American Forum.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the North American Forum, it sprang up as a parallel structure to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. It was originally an effort to bring opinion-makers, private-sector leaders, university professors and presidents, and leaders of NGOs [non-governmental organizations] together with government officials from the three countries of North America to begin to talk about North American security and to begin to see if there was some way that together, the governments working with the private sector and universities and NGOs could begin to create a vision for North America and an understanding of what North America is as an entity and then how governments could be working better together to fashion more productive cooperation and address the kinds of problems we saw in the immediate aftermath of September 11.

There are three convenors or co-convenors for this. On the U.S. side it's former Secretary of State [George] Schultz, on the Mexican side it's former Finance Minister Pedro Aspe, and on the Canadian side it's the former Premier of Alberta Peter Lougheed. The first session was held last year in Sonoma. This year it's held in Banff. Next year it will be held in Mexico.

Shannon left out the fact that the North American Forum was held in secrecy and the only "reporter" officially invited, was Mary Anastasia O'Grady of the Wall Street Journal. That we even know about the group, is due to leaked documents (an attendee list and forum agenda) supplied by Mel Hurtig, the founding Chairman of the Council of Canadians.

The North American Forum is tasked with laying the groundwork for an EU-like North American Union. In "Building a North American Community" — from the Council on Foreign Relations' Independent Task Force on the Future of North America — the convening of secret cabals is recommended as one of the steps toward implementing "North American Integration." On pages 30, 31 of the report, under the heading From Vision to Action: Institutions to Guide Trinational Relations, the authors advocate for "new institutional structures and arrangements to drive the agenda and manage deeper relations ..." One of the ways to do this now, says the report, is to implement:

A North American Advisory Council. To ensure a regular injection of creative energy into the various efforts related to North American integration, the three governments should appoint an independent body of advisers. This body should be composed of eminent persons from outside government, appointed to staggered multiyear terms to ensure their independence. Their mandate would be to engage in creative exploration of new ideas from a North American perspective and to provide a public voice for North America. A complementary approach would be to establish private bodies that would meet regularly or annually to buttress North American relationships, along the lines of the Bilderberg or Wehrkunde conferences, organized to support transatlantic relations. (Emphasis mine)

As far as I can tell, this startling admission has been overlooked. The "North American Advisory Council" has indeed been established; and as suggested in the report, it has been patterned after the Bilderberg Group — "the notoriously secretive council of western political leaders, industrialists and financiers which derived its name from the hotel in which it met for the first time in 1954, with funds provided by the CIA" (Hugh Wilford, "Calling the Tune? The CIA, the British Left and the Cold War, 1945-1960," in The Cultural Cold War in Western Europe, 1945-60, 47. Of particular interest, in the same book, is Valerie Aubourg's "Organizing Atlanticism: The Bilderberg Group and the Atlantic Institute, 1952-1963", 92-109).
