The mainstream media still refuses to take the notion of a “North American Union” seriously, yet the leadership of Mexico, Canada and the U.S. are proceeding as if the framework is already a done deal; all that’s left is to work out the details. We found this article on the El Universal website. To our knowledge, this is the first time the existence of a plan to achieve a unified currency has ever been publicly acknowledged at the executive level. Calderon will meet with President Bush on November 9. It is expected that many of the same topics will be discussed, including the North American Union and a consolidated currency.

The Napa Valley Register - November 2, 2006

President Bush and Congress have implemented a plan to create a North American Union, which will become an open border policy between the United States, Canada and Mexico. This is a plan, similar to the European Union, in which the security, infrastructure, laws and economies of the three countries will become intertwined, with the United States citizens paying, not only monetarily, but also with our freedom and our sovereignty. We will have the shell of our Constitution with international laws controlling it. The official government name is the “Security Prosperity Partnership of North America… Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, has e-mailed me that he does support the SPP, and implied that this is now policy…

I first met Dr. Jerome Corsi in a parking lot in Boston during the Democratic national convention. Despite his Harvard PhD credentials, I liked him intuitively. Jerry is known for co-authoring ‘Unfit for Command’ (that arguably crushed John Kerry’s presidential dream quest). He subsequently wrote a couple of very good books about ‘Atomic Iran’ and then teamed up with the Minutemen in the fight to protect our borders. However, Corsi’s most significant work may well be his largely ignored crusade against SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership)…

By now many Texans have heard about the proposed “NAFTA Superhighway,” which is also referred to as the trans-Texas corridor. What you may not know is the extent to which plans for such a superhighway are moving forward without congressional oversight or media attention. This superhighway would connect Mexico, the United States, and Canada, cutting a wide swath through the middle of Texas and up through Kansas City. Offshoots would connect the main artery to the west coast, Florida, and northeast. Proponents envision a ten-lane colossus the width of several football fields, with freight and rail lines, fiber-optic cable lines, and oil and natural gas pipelines running alongside. This will require coordinated federal and state eminent domain actions on an unprecedented scale, as literally millions of people and businesses could be displaced….

Congressman Tom Tancredo Press Release

Several alarming “recommendations” from the U.S. component of the “North American Competitive Council” (NACC) suggested that the U.S., Canada and Mexico “Work toward acceptance of equivalent standards, objectives, surveillance and enforcement.” In the section on pandemic control, the Council recommends that “…all borders and major roads remain open…to allow the unimpeded flow of domestic and international commerce.” The most troubling recommendations appear in the section entitled “Improving Cross-Border Mobility (Goods / Services / People).” In that section, the NACC recommends that “the governments evaluate moving customs processes further inland…to take the pressure off the border,” and to examine “harmonizing commercial processes for clearance of commercial shipments….

New efforts are in play to fight a plan by some corporate business leaders and their political allies that could erode the United States sovereignty. Jerome Corsi of the newly formed Coalition to Block North American Union said: “There’s hardly a major area of public policy where the Bush administration has not, through the SPP working groups, rewritten our administrative law and regulations from being U.S. in nature to being North American in nature.” The coalition to block the North American Union wants to defeat a proposed NAFTA superhighway that would stretch from Texas all the way to Canada. Congress has been left largely out of the loop. Lawmakers who have heard, like Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA), are hell bent on keeping a North American Union from happening, “The interests of hard-working businesses in this country, hard-working workers in this country, and the average citizen in the United States should be placed ahead, in my opinion, of some international global theory that I think would harm the United States and most of its citizenry.”

Since January of 2004, when President Bush first proposed his “comprehensive immigration reform,” it has become increasingly evident that there is a sharp disconnect on this issue between the political elites in the nation’s capital and the values and concerns of average citizens. This disconnect is evident even in the terminology chosen to discuss our immigration and border security problems, so it should come as no surprise that an acceptable solution has proven elusive. We can’t hope to find a solution until we have some agreement on the problem. I have used the term “illegal immigration” here only because in this city, it is the way people are forced to talk about illegal aliens. But traditionally, and in federal law, there is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant….

Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada. Mr. Goode (for himself, Mr. Paul, Mr. Jones of North Carolina, and Mr. Tancredo) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on International Relations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned…

A coalition united by its determination to stop efforts to merge the U.S. into a North American Union is organizing a grass-roots effort to make it an issue in 2008, vowing to campaign against any candidate, Republican or Democrat, who won’t side with them. Spearheaded by Conservative Caucus Chairman Howard Phillips; WND columnist and author Jerome Corsi; and activist Phyllis Schlafly, leaders of the 50-member coalition held an event at the National Press Club yesterday, expressing support for a proposed congressional resolution that denounces any effort by the U.S. to enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada. Corsi said lawmakers need to be held accountable…..

The Coalition to Block the North American Union, announced on Wednesday that it is supporting a House concurrent resolution opposing a NAFTA super-highway system from the west coast of Mexico through the U.S. and into Canada. The resolution is sponsored by Representatives Virgil Goode (VA), Ron Paul (TX), Walter Jones (NC), and Tom Tancredo (CO). Members of the Coalition claim a “Security and Prosperity Partnership” (SPP) adopted by President Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, and former Mexican President Vicente Fox would erase U.S. borders, replace the dollar with the “amero,” and lead to unlimited immigration. Jerome Corsi, co-chairman of the Coalition, says working groups within the SPP are meeting in secret behind closed doors and rewriting administrative law….

On Sept. 7, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), a government office established in March to increase cooperation between the United States, Canada and Mexico, released a progress report. Among its achievements was creation of an American Competitiveness Council to enhance North America’s posture in the struggle for hotly contested global markets. Unfortunately, major events are already unfolding that will undermine this belated attempt to respond to ambitious rivals who have been piling up ever-higher trade surpluses at the expense of American-based enterprises….

About 1,000 documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America show the White House is engaging in collaborative relations with Mexico and Canada outside the U.S. Constitution, says WND columnist and author Jerome Corsi. “The documents give clear evidence that the Bush administration has created a ’shadow government,’” Corsi said…

Documents Reveal ‘Shadow Government’
WorldNetDaily.com - October 24, 2006

In writing Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America’s Borders, by Dr. Jerome R. Corsi and Jim Gilchrist, the founder of The Minuteman Project, we realized there had to be a reason the United States was not securing our borders under President Bush.

Press Release - The Minuteman Project - October 24, 2006

Washington, D.C. - About 1,000 documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America show the White House is engaging in collaborative relations with Mexico and Canada outside the U.S. Constitution, says Minuteman columnist and author Dr. Jerome Corsi. “The documents give clear evidence that the Bush administration has created a ’shadow government,’” Corsi said. The documents can be viewed here, on a special website set up by the Minuteman Project. Bureaucrats from agencies throughout the Bush administration are meeting regularly with their counterpart bureaucrats in the Canadian and Mexican governments to engage in a broad rewriting of U.S. administrative law and regulations into a new trilateral North American configuration, Corsi contends…..

The master plan for merging the U.S., Mexico and Canada is being devised in American University’s Center for North American Studies whose faculty is subsidized by the U.S. State Department through the Fulbright Program. For example, joining the center this fall as a visiting chairman in North American studies is Canadian Donald Avery, professor emeritus in the history department at the University of Western Ontario. He arrives at American University through the Fulbright Program, funded through the U.S. State Department. The university’s Center for North American Studies is headed by Robert A. Pastor, the architect of a plan for a North American Union modeled after the European Union – complete with its own currency, the Amero, replacing the dollar….

It’s the borders, stupid! President Bush is having a hard time selling to voters his War on Terror, despite endless repetitive speeches arguing that we must fight the terrorist enemy in Iraq or we will fight them here. Truly, the White House should not be surprised when polls reflect that this time the message has not taken hold. Why? In this past spring and summer, the U.S. public has become amply aware that Bush has no serious intent of securing our borders. Instead, the building evidence, including that derived from FOIA requests by this author and by Judicial Watch, is that Bush agreed to erase our borders at the trilateral U.S.-Mexico-Canada summit meeting in Waco, Tex., on March 23…

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., has asked Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez in a letter to suspend plans that would further a proposal known as the “Security and Prosperity Partnership,” until Congress has a chance to examine its goals. “I know the administration has given assurances that the SPP is not a veiled effort to create a ‘North American Union,’ nor an effort designed to dilute American sovereignty by entering into a European Union-like arrangement with Canada and Mexico,” said Tancredo, chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. “Unfortunately, however, [the SPP’s] ‘recommendations’ seem to be at odds with those assurances….

If the superelites of the three nations have the populations’ best interests in mind, then why the secrecy? Why have the agendas (and memberships) of the various working groups of the SPP been kept out of sight, not even available on the SPP website? Why does the latter’s “Myths and Facts” describe the SPP as only a “dialogue” between the leadership of the three nations when it is clearly much more than that? Why has it been necessary to invoke the Freedom of Information Act to penetrate the wall of secrecy? Geri Wood, SPP Secretary, told Jerome R. Corsi that the working groups did not want to be “distracted by answering calls from the public.”

While several members of Congress have denied any knowledge of efforts to build “NAFTA superhighways” or move America closer to a union with Mexico and Canada, four members of the House have stepped up to sponsor a resolution opposing both initiatives. Rep. Virgil Goode Jr., R-Va., has introduced a resolution – H.C.R. 487 – designed to express “the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union (NAU) with Mexico and Canada.”
