European Union in America.
North American Union Fact Sheet

Produced and Distributed by The American Policy Center

The effort is in its infancy, however the Bush Administration has been operating in secret for at least two years to establish what can only be described as a North American Union with Mexico and Canada, along the same lines as the European Union. If that happens it can only mean an eventual end to the U.S. Constitution as our ruling document, replaced instead with a new North American Government. That is what is happening in Europe today.

It can and will eventually lead to the surrender of U.S. sovereignty, independence, and national borders. It will result in the establishment of a North American currency called the “Amero,” as the dollar is junked.

The U.S. will provide the army for defense. The U.S. will provide Social Security benefits for those who are now citizens of Mexico and Canada. Gone will be U.S. citizenship. Gone will be any kind of border control between the three nations of North America.

Plans are well underway to establish a NAFTA Super Highway, to be the width of eight football fields. It will run from Mexico to Canada, running through the middle of the United States. No tariffs or direct inspections will be enforced as trucks from Mexico and Canada drive through this nation. Only electronic scanning will be used on the trucks.

Kansas City, MO has been tapped to serve as an “inland port” to handle imports and exports among the three nations. Operating quietly, Kansas City has already designated $2.5 million of its taxpayer’s money to establish the port. Now, the Mexican government is demanding that it have its own inspection site in Kansas City to inspect its own trucks. It also is demanding that the land its port will sit on will officially become Mexican sovereign territory.

The effort began on March 23, 2005, after a summit, held in Waco, TX. It was attended by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and (then) Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. The three leaders announced the signing of an agreement to create common policies concerning various economic and security areas among the three nations.

For obvious cover of official deniability, the term “North American Union” is not being used. Instead, the agreement officially authorized twenty tri-national “working groups” to establish the “Security and Prosperity Partnership” (SPP). The concept is being sold as simply a new framework within which the member nations can create free trade and security within the North American continent. However, based on working documents, the intent to create the North American Union is impossible to hide.

The trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration, has not been submitted to Congress for review. There is no congressional oversight.

Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP)

The joint statement on the SPP, issued on March, 23, 2005 described it as an initiative to: “…establish a common approach to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline the security and efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic across our shared borders.”

The working groups are now laying the foundation for a European Union-style integration of the North American continent.

The White House has established the SPP office in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) office in the U.S. Department of Commerce, where it has worked in virtual secrecy for two years. As the process proceeds, the SPP groups have not released public reports on their activities.

Over the past two years, at least 20 SPP working groups have produced a number of memorandums of understanding and trilateral declarations of agreement. These agreements cover a wide variety of issues including, energy, transportation, financial services (including loan and foreign aid policy), communications, technology, environmental policy, rules under which businesses will operate, food and agriculture policy, health policy, e-commerce, aviation policy, border and immigration policy, and the means for multiple governmental agencies to interact. They may be viewed on the Internet at http://www.spp.gov. The Bush Administration has denied that the SPP is operating in secret. Yet it has not released the names of those in the working groups.

Meanwhile, officials of the three nations quietly met in Alberta, Canada September 12 – 14, 2006. Former Secretary of State George Shultz was a joint chairman of the meeting with his counterparts from Mexico and Canada. Also in active attendance were Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield, Admiral Tim Keating, Commander of NORAD, and Robert Pastor, a key advocate of the creation of a North American Union. Discussions at the conference included “A Vision for North America,” “Toward a North American Energy Strategy, and “Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration.”

It is also important to note that the Bush Administration has denied that the President ever signed an agreement with Canada and Mexico. The Administration has established a “Myths and Facts” section to the Security and Prosperity Partnership web page to attempt to counter the arguments of those now exposing the SPP. The site blatantly says “The SPP is a dialogue to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries. The SPP is not an agreement nor is it a treaty. In fact, no agreement was ever signed.” However, according to a report on the SPP written by Former Canadian Prime Minster Paul Martin, one of the three heads of state involved in the March 23, 2005 meeting with Bush and Fox, writes “Thus, on March 23, President Bush, President Fox and I signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America…” The full report by Mr. Martin may be read on the Internet at: http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/cip-pic/ips/ips-overview2-en.asp. Why is the Bush Administration lying about this fact? The obvious answer is because they are doing this without congressional approval and it is therefore illegal.

Council on Foreign Relations Blue Print

Many SPP working groups appear to be driving toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May, 2005 Council on Foreign Relations(CFR) task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American Union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.

The CFR report is entitled “Building a North American Community,” and is essentially a five year plan for implementing the North American Union. It may be viewed at the CFR Internet web sight at http://www.cfr.org.

A member of the CFR taskforce, Dr. Robert Pastor, wrote a book, published in 2001, titled “Toward a North American Commission.” The CFR taskforce report and the official SPP agreement carry almost identical language as the Pastor’s book. Though the Bush Administration denies a connection to Dr. Pastor’s book or to the CFR’s report, Dr. Pastor has represented the United States in SPP meetings, including (as mentioned above) the recent meeting in Alberta, Canada.

The book, the CFR task force and the SPP agreement call for the establishment of a North American Competitiveness Council to pull in the private sector to the SPP process. In addition, all three call for the establishment of a “North American Advisory Council,” which is to be an “independent body of advisors,” composed of “eminent persons from outside the government.”

In 2002, Dr. Pastor addressed the Trilateral Commission, calling for the establishment of a North American Investment Fund that would supplement World Bank funds expended in a trilateral effort to develop Mexico economically. The May, 2005 CFR report called for the same fund. Efforts are now underway in the SPP to officially establish the fund.

The CFR Task Force calls for the “creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March, 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders (of the three nations) that ‘our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary.’ Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within the movement of people, products and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe.”

To those ends, the CFR report called for establishment of a common security border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement of people, commerce and capital to be facilitated by the establishment of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S. passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Also envisioned by the CFR task force include a North American Court, a North American inter-parliamentary group, A North American Executive Commission, a North American Military Defense Command, a North American Customs Office and a North American Development Bank.

The task force report is important in the debate over the official Security and Prosperity Partnership operation because, though the Bush Administration denies any connection to the CFR report, the language used in the CFR task force report and SPP documents, so far, have proven to be nearly identical. Clearly the CFR task force report is being used as the blue print to establish the North American Union.

No Congressional Authorization or Oversight

To date, Congress has passed no legislation to authorize the activities of the SPP, nor to fund its spending. Congress has had no official involvement in the process and has no oversight. Many members of Congress have denied any knowledge of the activities of the SPP. Democrat Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) has said “It (SPP) was done for the United States solely by the President, with no Congressional involvement.”

Congressman Tom Tancredo, (R-Colo) has demanded that the Bush Administration fully disclose the activities of the SPP working groups, including revealing the names of the members of those groups. No answers to his demands have yet been received from the Bush Administration, though the activity continues to move forward. Geri Word, head of the SPP office, located in the Commerce Department, told World Net Daily that the work has not been disclosed because “we did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public.” Yet, the SPP denies it is working in secret.

NAFTA Super Highway

Quietly, the Bush Administration is working to advance a plan to build super highways through the heart of the United States to transport goods from Mexico and Canada. The highways are part of the original North American Free Trade Agreement, (NAFTA). The plan is now being advanced through an operation called “North America’s Super Corridor Coalition, Inc” (NASCO). Since being exposed to the general public, NASCO is now denying it is building the highways, but plans go forward.

The Super Transnational System includes multiple lanes for cars and trucks. Plans call for a ten lane, limited access highway to parallel I-35. It will have three lanes each way for passenger cars, two express lanes each way for trucks. Mexican and Canadian cars and trucks will be allowed to travel the highway, over the U.S. border with no inspections. The highway will also carry rail lines plus a utility corridor for oil and natural gas pipelines, electric towers, cables for communications and telephone lines. Speed limits will be relaxed as well as safety inspections for vehicles from Mexico and Canada. Trucks will be allowed to carry extra tonnage and be extra long. A Railway system will travel up the center of the highway, allowing Mexican rail road companies to enter the U.S. and travel up the highway.

Several such highways are contemplated. Environmental impact studies have already been completed. In Texas, efforts are already underway as 584,000 acres of privately owned land have been targets for takings through Eminent Domain. It is estimated that at least one million American citizens will be displaced from their homes to build the corridor.

Kansas City Customs Port to be Mexican Soil

Beginning at the southern tip of Mexico, passing through Laredo, TX, the highway heads to an “inland port” in Kansas City, where a “Sentry System” will electronically inspect the cargos, before they head East or West, or continue on North through Duluth, Minnesota and into Canada.

As described on the KC SmartPort’s website (www.kcsmartport. com), the plan is to enable cheap-labor products made in Communist China to travel in sealed “containers nonstop from the Far East by way of Mexico,” through “a ships-to-rail terminal at the port of Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico,” then up “the evolving trade corridor” to Kansas City, Missouri, where they would have their first inspection. A Kansas City SmartPort brochure explains further, “Kansas City offers the opportunity for sealed cargo containers to travel to Mexican port cities with virtually no border delays.”

Kansas City may be the ONLY check point and disbursement center for trucks bringing their cargos into this country from Mexico and Canada. The official organization in charge of setting up the port is KCSmartPort. The searches of goods will not involve open inspections in which truck doors would be opened and the contents inspected by Smart Port personnel or even drug sniffing dogs. Instead the trucks will be simply scanned by high-tech gamma-ray screening in drive-by inspections.

As part of the inland port, a Mexican Customs office is being established. The Kansas City Council has voted a $2.5 million loan to KCSmartPort to build the Mexican customs facility in the West Bottoms near Kemper Area on city-owned land east of Liberty Street and mostly south of Interstate 670.

According to e-mails and other documents obtained by World Net Daily, top executives with the KCSmartPort project, suggest the facility “would need to be designated as Mexican sovereign territory and meet certain requirements.” In addition, Mexico is insisting on the right to be the sole inspector of its own trucks.

The negotiations with Mexico and the U.S. State Department for the final approval of the Mexican Customs office are proceeding in secret.

The “Amero,” Merging U.S., Canadian and Mexican Currencies

Though it will take some years to finalize, plans are being laid to create a new currency for the coming North American Union, much like the Euro replaced the currencies of individual countries of the European Union. The Amero would replace the U.S. Dollar, Peso and Canadian Dollar.

The plan has been specifically promoted through Dr. Pastor’s book, the blueprint for the rest of the SPP plan, and now may be officially moving through the establishment of a new SPP effort called the “Financial Services Work Group.” To date, it is too early to tell exactly when such a change would move forward, but it is being discussed in high places.

Of course the SPP and the Bush Administration denies that there is even discussion of such a currency. However, on April, 6, 2006, the SPP announced the formation of the Financial Services Working Group. According to its own news release, the Financial Group will focus on “enhancing processes for addressing banking, securities and insurance issues.” It goes on to say, “U.S. financial regulatory agencies will play a critical role in the SPP.”

In truth, the SPP is being put into place incrementally. It will take years before everything is in final order. It took the European Union several years to create the Euro. However, the guiding documents from Dr. Pastor’s book and the CFR report each call for the creation of a North American currency. It is obvious, if one dissects the bureaucratic language of SPP documents, in order to reach its goal to “reduce the cost of trade, combat counterfeiting and facilitate trade,” among the three nations trying to act as one, the drive for a single currency will certainly become necessary.

A new government for North America

Many Americans simply do not believe that the United States would voluntarily give up its sovereignty to a North American Union. Those who think this way somehow believe that there will be a vote of the American people to decide.

It is little understood that such actions are done incrementally, behind closed doors, until the plans are so far along that stopping them becomes nearly impossible. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was sold as simply a way for American producers to broaden their markets. So too, was the European Union sold to the proud, ancient nations of that continent. Today, a new, socialist government rules them, complete with a ruling body, a new currency, a tax system, court system and a defense system -- all the ingredients necessary for a government.

Operating in secret, SPP working groups are efficiently laying the groundwork for the destruction of the United States of America as an independent, sovereign nation. Once the North American Union is in place, we will then have to compromise our very unique nation of protected freedoms with the socialist nations of Mexico and Canada, where property rights, justice, economics and natural rights are not necessarily recognized. Government decides.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership is about neither. It is not a plan to simply help sell American goods to larger markets. It is not a plan to help keep our nation safer in a security partnership with Mexico and Canada. Shutting our borders, not opening them, would do far more to accomplish that goal. The SPP is about creating a continental government which would eventually contain its own court system, its own ability to collect taxes (including some sort of military or police ability) and its own currency.

The SPP is an invasion of our culture and our economy. It’s about the redistribution of American wealth and industry. It will represent the end of over 250 years of an historic experiment in freedom – unless Americans across the nation say no – now.

And why is this a bad thing? Oh, I know, its because its not what some liberal nutjob on a blog is telling you is a right thing. I don't like Bush, but people like you make me want to vote somebody like him in a again just to piss you off!

The future generations will take care of all of that. That's if the human being gets that far.
