Mexico's Fox touts EU-like integration for the Americas or North American Union (NAU)

Mexico's Fox touts EU-like integration for the Americas or North American Union (NAU)


By Elaine Ayala

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox was in San Antonio Friday, delivering a wide-ranging address about U.S.-Mexico relations that touched on trade, the drug war, comprehensive immigration reform and the United States' “mammoth” financial crisis that has spread worldwide.

Fox also delivered a message of hope — hope that someday Canada, the United States and Mexico, indeed the rest of Latin America, would function like the European Union.

“It's an extremely successful model,” said Fox, whose wife, Marta Sahagún, accompanied him. “My vision is to speed up the process of further integration.”

Fox was in town to address the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute's Future Leaders Conference, held at the UTSA Main Campus. He received four rousing standing ovations from the crowd, many of them student business majors.

The event was hosted by the University of Texas at San Antonio's College of Business.

Fox acknowledged the difficulty of establishing a European Union-like structure in the Americas, given those who'd oppose it. But Fox said, “Hope is back again,” referring to the new U.S. president and the United States' “capacity to fight for ideals.”

“The border between Mexico and the United States is not as fluid, stable or open as the border with Canada,” Fox said. “This certainly is because there is a huge difference in the levels of development.”

Fox hailed the success of the North American Free Trade Alliance even as a student in the audience questioned its societal impact and inability to create jobs for Mexican citizens.

“It has happened,” Fox said of Mexico's job creation. Before NAFTA, annual “per capita income was $3,500. Today it is $8,500, three-fold growth.”

Fox also spoke of Mexico's war against drug cartels and its impact on “perhaps the most dynamic border in the world.” He reiterated comments made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this week, in which she said “insatiable” U.S. drug consumption drives the war.

Indeed, Fox conceded that more of his own citizens are engaging in drug use as cartels look for new markets.

And while he lamented how the terror attacks of 9-11 quashed potential plans for comprehensive immigration reform, supported by then-President George W. Bush, Fox expressed hope that President Barrack Obama would take up the charge.

Leaders of Canada, the US, and Mexico have been meeting to secretly expand the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with “deep integration” of a more militarized tri-national Homeland Security force. Taking shape under the radar of the respective governments and without public knowledge or consideration, the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP)—headquartered in Washington—aims to integrate the three nations into a single political, economic, and security bloc.

The SPP was launched at a meeting of Presidents George W. Bush and Vicente Fox, and Prime Minister Paul Martin, in Waco, Texas, on March 31, 2005. The official US web page describes the SPP as “. . . a White House-led initiative among the United States and Canada and Mexico to increase security and to enhance prosperity . . .” The SPP is not a law, or a treaty, or even a signed agreement. All these would require public debate and participation of Congress.

The SPP was born in the “war on terror” era and reflects an inordinate emphasis on US security as interpreted by the Department of Homeland Security. Its accords mandate border actions, military and police training, modernization of equipment, and adoption of new technologies, all under the logic of the US counter-terrorism campaign. Head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, along with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Finance Carlos Gutierrez, are the three officials charged with attending SPP ministerial conferences.

Measures to coordinate security have pressured Mexico to militarize its southern border. US military elements already operate inside Mexico and the DEA and the FBI have initiated training programs for the Mexican Army (now involved in the drug war), federal and state police, and intelligence units. Stephen Lendman states that a Pentagon briefing paper hinted at a US invasion if the country became destabilized or the government faced the threat of being overthrown because of “widespread economic and social chaos” that would jeopardize US investments, access to oil, overall trade, and would create great numbers of immigrants heading north.

Canada’s influential Department of National Defence; its new Chief of Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier; and Defense Minister Gordon O’Connor are on board as well. They’re committed to ramping up the nation’s military spending and linking with America’s “war on terror.”

The SPP created the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) that serves as an official tri-national SPP working group. The group is composed of representatives of thirty giant North American companies, including General Electric, Ford Motors, General Motors, Wal-Mart, Lockheed-Martin, Merck, and Chevron.

NACC’s recommendations centered on “private sector involvement” being “a key step to enhancing North America’s competitive position in global markets and is the driving force behind innovation and growth.” The NACC stressed the importance of establishing policies for maximum profits.

The US-guided agenda prioritizes corporate-friendly access to resources, especially Canadian and Mexican oil and water. The NACC’s policy states that “the prosperity of the United States relies heavily on a secure supply of imported energy.” US energy security is seen as a top priority encouraging Canada and Mexico to allow privatization of state-run enterprises like Mexico’s nationalized oil company, PEMEX. In January 2008, Halliburton signed a $683 million contract with PEMEX to drill fifty-eight new test holes in Chiapas and Tabasco and take over maintenance of pipelines. This is the latest of $2 billion in contracts Halliburton has received from PEMEX during Fox’s and current Mexican president Felipe Calderone’s administrations, which the opposition warns has become the public front for US monopoly capital privatization.1 US policy seeks to insure America gets unlimited access to Canada water as well.

Connie Fogal of Canadian Action Party says, “The SPP is the hostile takeover of the apparatus of democratic government . . . a coup d’etat over the government operations of Canada, US and Mexico.”

UPDATE BY STEPHEN LENDMAN

A fourth SPP summit was held in New Orleans from April 22 to 24, 2008. George Bush, Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon attended. Protesters held what they called a “people’s summit.” They were in the streets and held workshops to inform people how destructive SPP is, strengthen networking and organizational ties against it, maintain online information about their activities, promote efforts and build added support, and affirm their determination to continue resisting a hugely repressive corporate-sponsored agenda.

Opponents call the “Partnership” NAFTA on steroids. Business-friendly opposition also exists. The prominent Coalition to Block the North American Union (NAU) is backed by the Conservative Caucus, which has a “NAU War Room,” a “headquarters of the national campaign to expose and halt America’s absorption into a North American Union with Canada and Mexico.” It opposes building “a massive, continental ‘NAFTA Superhighway.’”

This coalition has congressional allies, and on January 2007, Rep. Virgil Goode and six co-sponsors introduced House Concurrent Resolution 40, which expresses “the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in (building a NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a NAU with Mexico and Canada.”

The April summit reaffirmed SPP’s intentions—to create a borderless North America, dissolve national sovereignty, put corporate giants in control, and assure big US companies most of it. It’s also to create fortress-North America by militarizing the continent under US command.

SPP maintains a website. Its “key accomplishments” since August 2007 are updated as of April 22, 2008. The information is too detailed for this update, but can be accessed from the following link: http://www.spp.gov/pdf/key_accomplishments_since_august_2007.pdf.

The website lists principles agreed to; bilateral deals struck; negotiations concluded; study assessments released; agreements on the “Free Flow of Information”; law enforcement activities; efforts related to intellectual property, border and long-haul trucking enforcement; import licensing procedures; food and product safety issues; energy issues (with special focus on oil); infrastructure development; emergency management; and much more. It’s all laid out in deceptively understated tones to hide its continental aim—to enable enhanced corporate exploitation with as little public knowledge as possible.

Militarization includes the US Northern Command (NORTHCOM), established in October 2002, which has air, land, and sea responsibility for the continent regardless of Posse Comitatus limitations that no longer apply or sovereign borders that are easily erased. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) also have large roles. So does the FBI, CIA, all US spy agencies, militarized state and local police, National Guard forces, and paramilitary mercenaries like Blackwater USA.

They’re headed anywhere on the continent with license to operate as freely as in Iraq and New Orleans post-Katrina. They’ll be able to turn hemispheric streets into versions of Baghdad and make them unfit to live on if things come to that.

Consider other militarizing developments as well. On February 14, 2008, the US and Canada agreed to allow American troops inside Canada. Canadians were told nothing of this agreement, which was drafted in 2002. Neither was it discussed in Congress or in the Canadian House of Commons. The agreement establishes “bilateral integration” of military command structures in areas of immigration, law enforcement, intelligence, or whatever else the Pentagon or Washington wishes. Overall, it’s part of the “war on terror” and militarizing the continent to make it “safer” for business and being prepared for any civilian opposition.

Mexico is also being targeted, with a “Plan Mexico” that was announced in October 2007. It’s a Mexican and Central American security plan called the Merida Initiative, supported by $1.4 billion in allocated aid. Congress will soon vote on this initiative, likely well before this is published. It’s a “regional security cooperation initiative” similar to Plan Colombia and presented as an effort to fight drug trafficking.

In fact, the Merida Initiative is part of SPP’s militarization of Mexico and gives Washington more control of the country. Most of the aid goes to Mexico’s military and police forces, with a major portion earmarked for US defense contractors for equipment, training, and maintenance. The touchy issue of deploying US troops will be avoided by instead employing private US security forces, i.e., Blackwater and DynCorp.

New Progressive Nationalist Party leader calls Stéphane Dion and Gilles Duceppe disloyal Quebecers on SPP's cultural

New Progressive Nationalist Party leader calls Stéphane Dion and Gilles Duceppe disloyal Quebecers on SPP's cultural assimilation agenda

by Peter Tremblay


New Progressive Nationalist Party say Stéphane Dion [left] and Gilles Duceppe [right] are disloyal Quebecers.Stéphane Dion [left] and Gilles Duceppe

"Never in the history of Quebec, has such leaders betrayed us", says Guy Pelletier, the leader of the newly established Progressive National Party of Canada, LINK, about Stéphane Dion and Gilles Duceppe. Both leaders in quiet, support the so-called Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which Prime Minister Stephen Harper formally, confirmed, with his support, on August 20 and 21 at an American-owned hotel resort, which is located between Ottawa and Montreal in Quebec, Canada. The SPP sells out Quebec, and the rest of Canada, inclusive of language rights, social programmes, the civil code, and human rights in general, toward formal control under the corporate assimilationist-centred New American Union (NAU) agenda.

Political leaders in Quebec, whether federalist like former Prime Minister Trudeau or separatist like René Levesque, had a common a loyalty to Quebec. Mr. Trudeau, chose Federalism as the best means to protect the cultural identity of Quebec, with a united and officially bilingual Canada. Mr. Levesque, pursued a vision to separate Quebec, from the rest of Canada, to defend Quebec's cultural identity. Mr. Dion, a dual citizen of the Anglo-Saxon dominated European Union and Mr. Duceppe has chosen to sell Quebec to the United States.

It is apparent that Mr. Dion's and Mr. Duceppe's substantive allegiance, is not to Quebec, but with the almighty dollar held by the U.S.-based Big Business interests, in conjunction with the traitorous Quebec and Canadian "partners" which these leaders have apparent chosen to serve, instead of the people of Quebec and the rest of Canada. Indeed, a new generation of elites in Quebec that owns large mass-media outlets and financial institutions, together with the intellectuals, are driven by greed, and not the cultural idealism of previous generations of elites.

These new "Chateau Clique" elites will profess a loyalty to Quebec and the rest of Canada in front of the TV cameras, and then in closed door meetings represented by the SPP, will sell the soul of Quebec and the rest of Canada, which is not for them to sell.

Now, the U.S. military is reportedly beginning to occupy our Quebec, Canadian nation, without the consent of the people of Quebec; and Mr. Dion and Mr. Duceppe, turn the other way on the assault of our national self-determination as a free and independent society.

SPP elites seek to begin to culturally assimilate Quebec, like Louisiana, into a New American Union by 2010.

Bush administration's North American Union SPP plan reveals a totalitarian agenda

by Paul Chen

At a recent News Conference in Canada which was convened by the Coalition to Block the North American Union, Tom DeWeese who is President of the American Policy Center, eloquently presented, the essential fascism of the so-called Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

The U.S. Bush Administration and its allies, are seeking to create a fascist state, in a very clever way, through "Public-Private Partnerships" or PPPs that Mr. DeWeese identified.

The SPP, is basically an ominous "merger" of the largest corporations in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with the governments of these societies, further backed with U.S. military and comprehensive police enforcement. The so-called Montebello summit of North American leaders, was a mere dress rehearsal of a clique of well-documented Neo-Nazi interests that seek to create a fascist state. In the Neo Nazi sponsored NAU, the people will have what American colonists referred to as "taxation without representation",with added oppression.

You can look up the political backgrounds of both Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President George Bush, and you will discover well-reported associations with far right organizations and interests.

Let me present to you what kind of society that SPP architects are apparently seeking to consolidate and to further advance. Imagine, for a moment, a society in which the phone company you use to make your calls, the McDonald's down the street, the Walmart a half-kilometre away, your favourite newspaper, the Television news that you watch, the police and military, the politicians, and the supermarket up the street, and government agencies are all the same entity. Yep, that's what the SPP is all about.
NAU is a Police State

SPP architects seek to use the War on Terrorism to create the "NAU" as a Police State.


The SPP is a negotiation convocation between the most rich and powerful corporations and government, to combine themselves into the most people-oppressive entity that the world has ever seen. The Bush administration, seeks to use the pretext of the “War on Terrorism” to merge corporate and government power, in a climate of fear, which, in turn, is being executed by a clique of greed-driven elites.

SPP elites participants hope to "end politics" in a “North American Union” (NAU). The NAU will be managed by a One Party State, parallel to the Communist Party, which runs the People's Republic of China, and reminiscent of the National Socialist Party of Nazi Germany. Corporate elites will not need to waste money trying to lobby politicians on legislation, because corporations and government will be speak, and act as one force.
Social Classes


The planned 'social structure' of the NAU would ressemble Orwellian social structures described in the book entitled Nineteen Eighty Four. The One Party State would replace democracy in the NAU.

In the envisioned NAU, people will work when they are told to work, and be paid what they are given, and speak when they are spoken to. Dissidents, will not be tolerated by the aspiring "One World Government". There will be no place to "run and hide", because all telephones and other communications will be controlled by a unified political-military-industrial complex. Everyone will be tracked by "Big Brother". There will be no such thing as "public healthcare", which will be represented as diverting precious resources away from "victory".

Even food will not be out of the reach of management by Big Brother, through the genetic engineering programmes, and other "social experiments" with the collusion of military and industrial interestsm against humanity.

In the NAU, soaring poverty, as a result of the mass cancellation of social programs and resulting initial soaring crime will be dealt with by the mass rounding up of "trouble makers" in horrific labour camps.

Religious leaders, and others citizens would be forced into becoming informers for "Big Brother", to weed out activists, and other potential "trouble makers" against the "infinite wisdom" of Big Brother.

The public is not invited into the initial steps to form the NAU, because it is the public which will be victimized and subjugated by the SPP's clandestine agenda.

The SPP is the creation of a demonic consciousness which now relies on the Hiterlian technique of the "Big Lie" to cover-up its ultimate goals.

The mass-media have already been largely already assimilated by Big Brother. SPP architects, hope to conquer the internet to help complete their efforts toward creating a fear-inspired totalitarian society.
Orwellian Big Brother entity

SPP architects and seeking to negotiate the total fusion of government, military interests, police law enforcement, and, and large private corporations in the "NAU" which would manifest in the creation of an Orwellian Big Brother entity.


The PPPs which Mr. Tom DeWeese described in the Coalition to Block North American Union news conference on 20 August 2007, in Ottawa, Canada, is the organizational context for the creation of a North American Union (NAU). The planned NAU is to be ruled by an all-powerful "Big Brother", where democracy will cease to operate.

However, the SPP does not appear to stop there.

Imagine a North American Union SPP deliberations, where North America specifically, and the world in general, are being neatly divided up into parcels for various corporate monopolies.

Mr. DeWeese and his colleagues in the Coalition to Block the North American Union, have already well documented various corporations being corruptly awarded millions and billions in dollars of contract.

This kind of fascistic corporate and government collusion, is already in full swing in places like Iraq, with preference being given to corporations with connections to the U.S. Bush administration.

While the Bush administration in public, extols the virtues of liberty, freedom, and "free enterprise", Mr. DeWeese, and other researchers reveal that it is apparent that the SPP agenda is an attempt to re-create Adolf Hitler's "corporatist" Nazi Economic Programme. In the North American Union that SPP architects envision, liberty, freedom, and "free enterprise" will be replaced by "enterprise" which is totally controlled under the social regimentation of fascist-inspired cliques.

Now, further imagine a SPP meeting context where elites behind closed doors are not simply preparing for worst case scenarios, as the public is being lead to believe, but instead are actively planning to instigate and co-ordinate pre-emptive nuclear war to "take over the world".

According to the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) which inspires Mr. Bush, the Bush doctrine, that was practiced in Iraq, like Adolf Hitler's own doctrine of war, pivots on the importance of "pre-emptive" strikes. The Bush doctrine views the idea that "war should be pursued as a last resort" as being a policy for "week minded people".

It would therefore be erroneous to believe that the SPP is anything but a creature of the Bush doctrine. The PNAC intellectuals that inspire the Bush administration, also believe that America must be prepared to use its nuclear arsenal, to enforce "American interests" as defined by a clique of elites.

PNAC intellectuals have been quoted as saying in effect that it is no point that America produces and makea nuclear weapons, if it is not prepared to use them. According to them, "who cares" if billions of people are killed, and the environment destroyed from nuclear fall-out, if that is the "price to pay" for victory.

The mass-media has indeed not reported on the substance of the SPP, because the mass-media organizations are being currently "merged" in the new Big Brother entity, that elites seek to institutionalize through the creation of the NAU, toward a "New World Order".
Detention Centre: Guantanamo Bay


Investigative Journalists who notably include Alex Jones report that Guantanamo Bay like detention centres, are being planned and constructed toward the development of a fascistic North American Union.

If the Canadian, American, and Mexican peoples allow the formal creation of the NAU, the largest corporations, government, the military, and a fascist clique will all speak and act as one voice.

The SPP is a "Council of War", that is designed to "creatively" bring about a "New World Order" under its complete control. In this New World Order, the masses will become virtually slaves to elites, with dissenters being thrown into "detention centres" for "re-education".

Once the corporate-government merger talks are completed, as to which elites will get what in the planned "New World Order", one can expect the NAU to be launched under an instigated terrorist pre-text, where the NAU will presented as an "Emergency Response Council".

This Emergency Response Council would then present itself as having the mandate to restore "Order", and instigate a required military draft to "once and for all" vanquish the Muslims. Dissenters would be viewed to be a threat to that order, and Muslims in North America who "must have caused the massive terrorist attack" (and other "freedom-hating" activists as Mr. Bush and his allies might say), would be placed in "detention" centres like Guantanamo Bay and other such places, reminiscent of the "detention" centres of Nazi Germany.

It is apparent that Nazi sympathizers associated with the SPP agenda are following a script, which Nazis are reputed to follow.

Indeed, Richard M. Dolan and others have compared 9/11 World Trade Center "terrorist attack" with the Reichstag Fire, which was started by Nazis, who at that time, blamed "Jewish Communists" in their scapegoating efforts.

The SPP is creating its own incentive to instigate an act of terrorism that it can in turn use to legitimate the pre-emptive Bush doctrine agenda of inspired pre-emptive "War for Commercial Profit".

Voices Of The People: The Council Of Canadians

one of those rare occasions when the voice of the people can be heard loud and clear, thanks to bbc's zeinab badawi in this particular case. notice how she takes a back seat and gives stuart trew all the space and time for him to make his case, your case, virtually uninterrupted.

whether bush & co will take a notice or not, is another matter altogether, but that's what a direct action is all about.

Canadian Sovereignty in Jeopardy: the Militarization of North America

Canadian jurisdiction over its Northern territories was redefined, following an April 2002 military agreement between Ottawa and Washington. This agreement allows for the deployment of US troops anywhere in Canada, as well as the stationing of US warships in Canada's territorial waters.

CFR War Criminal Cheney Denies NAFTA Highway

With his favorable poll numbers at around 10 per cent, does war criminal Cheney really believe that anyone with an IQ over 50 believes anything he says? This is the same man who joked to some of his greedy, hell-bound friends, that the citizens in Wyoming were suspicious of the CFR, as he added to them, with a chuckle, that he indeed belonged.

Is it happening now?

Here is a small clip of what has been happening at the Administrative level and Bush's real plan.

U.S. Military to be used for Quebec Conference

Here is a story on how the U.S. Military will be administering security at the upcoming Security and Prosperity Partnership in August in Quebec. In the land of the free, we do not have the authority to police and defend our own turf. Well get used to it Canada. Should the Security and Prosperity Partnership (a.k.a. North American Union), this would allow the U.S. to boldly come in, seize control of our natural resources and our freedom.

One part of this "partnership" is designed to ensure the security of the U.S. energy supply. This means that when George W. Bush announced at the State of the Union Address of 2005 that the United States is addicted to foreign oil, and that something had to be done about it, he actually meant that the supply will now come from the tar sands in Alberta. The United States wants us to export nearly 5 million barrels/day to them and them only. We currently produce over 1 million barrels/day. That would mean a 5-fold increase in production at a tremendous environmental and human health cost.

I am calling on all citizens of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. to stand up and fight this sham that is being pulled over everyone's eyes.

North American Union? What is this all about....

So, to prove that I am not just a Conservative basher, I will include this clip on the North American Union or the Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America. This all started with Chretien's Liberal government and continues to this day with our beloved Twig (a.k.a. neo-con Mr. Stephen Harper). The site can be found here. This is very important for us to realize that this is going forward without any consultation with any of us in Canada, the US or Mexico. Most government officials even deny this partnership exists, but thankfully we have Lou Dobbs on CNN tackling this issue head on.

From what I have learned on this, it opens up the borders between our 3 countries and provides trading "corridors" between us. The policies of this new initiatives are set and controlled by Government and the large corporations that are members.

I will post more on this very soon. For now, please enjoy these clips that I have found on this very important topic.
