Bush Reaffirms North American Union Agenda At Leaders'
Summit
Opposition to 'Security and Prosperity Partnership' intensifies
|

President Bush yesterday reaffirmed a commitment to progress the
much maligned Security and Prosperity Partnership agenda, amid
intensified opposition from commentators and critics concerned
that the plan constitutes an undermining of national sovereignty.
At a private party to open the fourth North American
Leaders' Summit in New Orleans, Bush referred to recently encountered
"setbacks" and told bureaucrats and business leaders
"the meeting gives three friends the chance to come together
to discuss our commitment to security and prosperity, to reconfirm
the need for the three of us to work in harmony together for the
good of our peoples. It's a chance to talk about how we can best
protect our people and extend prosperity."
Bush told leaders from Canada and Mexico "Tomorrow,
we will be meeting with the business leaders of the North American
Competitiveness Council to listen to their specific recommendations...
The United States has an opportunity to continue the trading agenda."
The North
American Competitiveness Council (NACC) is an advisory
Council Comprised of 30 senior private sector representatives
of North American corporations that were selected by the American,
Canadian and Mexican governments at the June 2006 trilateral meeting
in Cancun, Mexico.
Recently
uncovered documents detailed how these corporate
representatives have been urged to "humanize" North
American integration, promote NAFTA success stories to employees
and unions and evolve the harmonization agenda "without fueling
protectionism".
The documentation consists of internal memos from
Canada's Foreign Affairs and Internal Trade ministry, which were
obtained by the World Net Daily reporter Jerome Corsi under an
Access to Information Act request.
Business leaders have been beseeched by bureaucratic
working groups to launch public relations campaigns in order to
counter critics of the secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership
of North America (SPP) and to report back to senior government
officials with advice on an ongoing basis.
The memo highlighted how those advancing the North
American integration agenda are concerned about the exposure and
subsequent public backlash they have encountered recently.

Meanwhile one prominent critic of the SPP agenda,
Congressman Ron Paul has vowed to intensify opposition towards
the alliance and the intrinsically linked Trans-Texas Corridor
and proposed NAFTA “Super Highway.”
“As we all know, there have been significant
moves recently to expand the Security and Prosperity Partnership
initiated by President Bush and his Mexican and Canadian counterparts
in 2005. One such plan is to construct a so-called “NAFTA
Superhighway” running from Mexico, through Texas, and up
eventually into Canada,” Paul said yesterday.
“I have opposed this project from the beginning,
signing on as a co-sponsor of House Concurrent Resolution 40 expressing
Congressional disapproval of the NAFTA Superhighway and any moves
toward a North American Union.”
“More recently, I introduced an even stronger piece of legislation,
H.R.5191, which would prohibit the use of federal funds to carry
out this highway project. The federal government has no business
being partner to this outrageous plan, according to which countless
landowners would have their private property confiscated under
eminent domain,” Paul said.
“This prohibition of funds, if passed, would
go a long way toward derailing this ill-conceived project and
would send a clear message that further attempts to undermine
U.S. sovereignty would not be unchallenged in Congress. It is
long past time the United States House and Senate start taking
our constitutional oversight roles seriously.” The Congressman
concluded.
The initial Security and Prosperity Partnership
agreement was signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente
Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas,
March 23, 2005. It established working groups, under the North
American Free Trade Agreement office.
Jerome Corsi brought attention to the SPP two years ago when
he obtained SPP
documents, under the freedom of information act,
showing that a wide range of US administrative law is being re-written
in stealth under a program to "integrate" and "harmonize"
with administrative law in Mexico and Canada, just as has become
commonplace within the EU.
The documents contained references to upwards of 13 working groups
within an entire organized infrastructure that has drawn from
officials within most areas of administrative government including
U.S. departments of State, Homeland Security, Commerce, Treasury,
Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Health and Human Services,
and the office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
