President
Bush is meeting with other world leaders in Canada this week to
establish, in part, a "New World Order" that subverts
national sovereignty, according to some leading American conservatives
who have taken a hard stance against the president over the Security
and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).
President Bush is meeting in Quebec Monday and Tuesday with Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon
to discuss the SPP, which the U.S. government's Web site describes
as a cooperative effort among Canada, the United States, and Mexico
to "increase security and enhance prosperity ... through
greater cooperation and information sharing."
Yet Howard Phillips, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, said
at a news conference in Ottawa Monday that Bush is trying to develop
a "New World Order" of centralized world government
controlled by super-national bureaucracies. Phillips said some
of the bureaucracies already exist, including the International
Monetary Fund, World Bank and United Nations.

"George Bush and his daddy [former President George H. W.
Bush] have both used the term 'New World Order.' It was used by
Woodrow Wilson. It was used by Adolf Hitler. It was used by a
number of people, and the New World Order relates to the desire
of many people in the world to submerge national sovereignties
to international institution." (See Video)
Other conservatives who joined Phillips at the news conference
included author and columnist Jerome Corsi; John McManus, president
of the John Birch Society; Tom DeWeese, president of the American
Policy Center; and Bob Park, founder of Veterans for Secure Borders.
The SPP meetings (the fourth since 2005) have afforded little
access to the media and no access to the general public except
for leaders of some large corporations taking part in the concurrent
North American Competitiveness Council. The secrecy has led activists
on both sides of the political aisle to develop ideas about what
might be happening behind closed doors.
Responding to protests stated in Ottawa Sunday by leftist, anti-government,
anti-corporate activists, Phillips acknowledged a difference of
approach. But, he said, "if we're all firing in the same
direction, let's work together."
Conservative author Jerome Corsi criticized supporters of the
SPP for labeling opponents "conspiracy theorists."
"We're the Internet black helicopter conspiracy theorists?"
asked Corsi. "What's going on over in Montebello behind closed
doors? Is that not the real conspiracy?"
"Only to call us names does not answer the arguments we're
making," he said. "We're called names because those
supporting the Security and Prosperity Partnership wish to keep
their secret agenda being advanced in secret, and we've ruined
the party by exposing it."
Most recently, U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins called
the opposition to the SPP "conspiracy theories." In
an editorial in the Ottawa Citizen Monday, Wilkins said that "while
conspiracy theories abound, you can take it to the bank that no
one involved in these discussions is interested in, or has ever
proposed, a 'North American Union,' a 'North American super highway'
or a 'North American currency.'"
Wilkins further wrote that "security with prosperity remains
the defining vision of the leaders' meeting" and that "each
[nation] will continue to protect its own interests, but it makes
sense, as friends and neighbors, to sit down together and see
what we might accomplish better together."
Phillips responded by noting that Wilkins was appointed by Bush
and represents an administration that "does not have a reputation
for straight talking or accuracy ... ." And it_s high time
for the SPP organizers to "tear down the wall of silence
and let the people see what you are scheming to do," he said.
