New Orleans gears up for North American summit

Becky Bohrer, Associated Press Writer
Houston Chronicle
April 18, 2008

NEW ORLEANS – Police expect protests but few problems when the two-day North American Leaders Summit gets under way Monday in New Orleans.

It’s VIP duty as President Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper get together to talk trade. But for the New Orleans Police Department, it’s more of the same in a a string of high-profile, crowd-generating events early in 2008.

The North American summit in Quebec last August drew several hundred protesters vocal on the war in Iraq and what they claimed was a gradual merging of the three countries. There also were marches in New Orleans in 2003, when the city hosted negotiations for the Central American Free Trade Agreement.

PREMEDITATED MERGER

Makeover urged for ‘North American Union’ effort

Heavy criticism of continental integration prompts plan to save
flagging movement

By Jerome R. Corsi
WorldNetDaily
April 15, 2008

On the verge of next week’s North American summit in New Orleans, a Canadian think tank has suggested renaming the “North American Union” to renew progress toward continental integration in the face of mounting criticism.

A paper entitled “Saving the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership”, published last month by the Fraser Institute in Canada, contends President Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper have decided to expend no more political capital in pursuing “the bust” that has occurred because of the “brand” of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America or SPP.

The solution, the authors argue, is a public relations makeover in which the goals of North American political and economic integration remain the same but the names get changed to keep trilateral arrangements between the U.S., Mexico and Canada on track.

While the paper continues to dismiss critics of the SPP as “conspiracy theorists,” Fraser Institute political scientist Dr. Alexander Moens and his co-author Michael Cust, a Fraser Institute intern, proposes the name “North American Union,” or NAU, be dropped in favor of a declaration that the three countries now want to create a “North American Standards and Regulatory Area,” or NASRA.

Moens and Cust write that the attacks of SPP critics “are starting to hurt.”

ONE IDEA…

One-Thousand People = One-Million Flyers = One Big Wake-Up Call.

The SPP.Gov / North American Union is an agreement for “deep integration” of the Canadian, American and Mexican governments in “300 – 400 areas” without our permission.

For big stuff like this you’d think they’d ask us first, but since it’s the sequel to NAFTA and the establishment knows how much we hated that, this time they’re just trying not to tell us about it by keeping it out of the establishment media.

This response is one idea that can be tried in every city in the world as we wake our neighbours up to how it all works and how the people in charge stopped working for us a long time ago.

Simply look at the size of your city and calculate how many flyers you need to reach a certain percentage, or 1000,000 meaning 1000 flyers carried by 1000 people to reach 20% of Toronto, a healthy sized group that might all talk about it at once because they all heard about it at once.

We may not achieve that by April 19, 2008 at Dundas Square at 1 pm, but we’ll get there.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11530993186&ref=mf

The blasting of lots of completely different people at once with the same simple repeated messages we soon all repeat ourselves despite being completely different people is how propaganda created by the only people with enough control over enough media to produce it works in every example in history.

So: to counter that we have to maximize our impact with big actions of our own all at once to introduce new topics of conversation and move beyond just individual one-offs.

You can do an info-swap’n'drop to trade the work you put into translating the most important issues of the day with compassion and clarity and help inspire each others approaches.

We all need to work harder on finding ways to wake people up to what others can see as obvious, so there should be a push for the maximum number of angles, approaches and improvements on them.

Things like printing or photocopying mainstream news admissions, doing video surveys, creating a variety of flyers, posters, buttons, symbols and adding humour and wit can all help make fun to fight for freedom.

Decentralized power and honest money are all we need to save the world, which means we have to fight the centralization of power by dishonest printers of money, or the central bankers, plus the brokers, corporate fat-cats and punk snitch-o-crats who play their game, or the people they put on TV to lie to us…

…sorry!

Obama: No Evidence of the “North American Union”

March 31, 2008 2:01 PM

ABC’s Sunlen Miller and Z. Byron Wolf Report: During a town hall meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Obama was asked about the “North American Union.”

The NAU is a theoretical governmental union merging the United States, Mexico and Canada that some conspiracy theorists and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul have used as a rallying cry.

Obama responded that he sees no evidence of a cabal in forming this union.

“I see no evidence of this actually taking place,” he said. “I think this is something that has been ginned up on certain blogs on the internet,” and mentioned Congressman Paul buying into the theory.

Obama said a lot of the speculation that these three countries were forming an European Union-like partnership was due to a highway being built in Texas that would make it easier to facilitate more transportation between Mexico, the United States and Canada.

Congressman Ron Paul said during the CNN/You Tube debate in November that, “there is a move on toward a North American Union, just like early on there was a move on for a European Union, and eventually ended up. So we had NAFTA and moving toward a NAFTA highway. These are real things. It’s not somebody made these up. It’s not a conspiracy.”

“There’s no evidence that that’s taking place,” Obama repeated again and then reiterated his opposition to NAFTA.

“NAFTA helped to break down barriers on trade between those two countries and I was opposed to NAFTA because I thought it didn’t have the labor and environmental and safety standards that would look out for US workers. But I don’t think there’s some conspiracy to create this one you know, continental government between Canada and Mexico,” said the Illinois senator.

Obama was also asked by the same questioner what his status is with the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonpartisan foreign policy group which has also been targeted for similar reasons by conspiracy theorists.

“I don’t know if I’m an official member. I’ve spoken there before, it basically is a forum where people talk about foreign policy, and so there’s no official membership,” Obama respond, “I don’t have a card or a special handshake or anything like that.”

Leader of CAP Calls for Referendum and General Strike Regarding SPP

Dana Gabriel
Op-Ed News
March 22, 2008

The battle lines are being drawn and the Canadian Action Party (CAP) is front and center, fighting the North American Union agenda. They are very adamant that Canada’s sovereignty should not be negotiated away. On their websites homepage it states, “A decision regarding the restructuring of Canada into an integrated North American Union with a common currency is a decision for the citizens of Canada – not for a
minority government with an ineffective opposition.”

CAP is demanding full disclosure of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). In a recent video address, their leader Connie Fogal called for a referendum and general strike in regards to the SPP. A general strike might be hard to organize, but it would be an effective way of protesting and drawing further attention to this whole process of deeper integration.

As North American leaders’ summit approaches, poll finds Canadians want policies to guarantee energy and water supply, environmental standards

Linda Diebel, National Affairs Writer
The Toronto Star
April 15, 2008

Canadians overwhelmingly sent a message to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ease up on integration with U.S. policy and protect the country’s water, energy and public regulations, according to the results of a recent poll.

The poll comes as Harper, U.S. President George W. Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon prepare for next week’s leaders’ summit in New Orleans on the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America.

To be released today by the Council of Canadians, the poll was conducted April 7 to 10 by Environics and obtained by the Toronto Star.

The council opposes the secrecy surrounding the high-level talks.

In fact, probably the best way for Canadians to learn about what’s on the table in negotiations – which cover everything from greater energy integration to harmonization of health and product regulations – is to research U.S. government websites. “It’s been four years since the launch of the SPP and while corporations have been given a seat at the negotiating table, the Canadian government has never asked the public how they feel about it,” said council chair Maude Barlow.

Support for more nationalist policies was high almost across the board, according to the poll:

• 89 per cent want an energy policy guaranteeing Canadian supply and protecting the environment, “even if this means placing restrictions on exports and foreign ownership of Canadian supplies.”

Support was highest in Harper’s home province of Alberta, with 92 per cent in favour of such an energy policy.

Barlow argues SPP talks already are taking Canada toward greater energy integration with the U.S. and points out agreements have been signed and working groups set up with, among other aims, to increase Alberta tar sands production.

However, there have been arguments any restriction on energy exports would contravene the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which binds Canada to continue energy exports to the U.S. even in times of crisis.

As well, while Canada produced one billion barrels of oil in 2008 – 40 per cent above domestic consumption – it is an oil-importing nation.

• 88 per cent of Canadians want a comprehensive national water policy that bans bulk exports of fresh water and recognizes water as a basic human right. There are concerns water is not protected by trade agreements.

The Center for Strategic Studies and International Studies, a Washington-based think-tank, revealed SPP talks have targeted “water consumption, water transfers and artificial diversions of bulk water” from Canada. As well, Canadian diplomats recently blocked efforts by the United Nations to recognize water as a basic human right.

• 87 per cent agree Canada should set its own independent environmental, health and safety standards, “even if it might reduce cross-border trade opportunities with the United States.” Council researcher Stuart Trew said the product-safety legislation introduced last week by the Harper government includes SPP goals for harmonization by allowing greater corporate oversight of products.

• 86 per cent agree the SPP should be debated in the House of Commons
and submitted to a parliamentary vote.

In its analysis of the results, the Council of Canadians criticized Harper and his counterparts for allowing a select group of corporate leaders in the North American Competitiveness Council to have “VIP access to annual trilateral summits like the one taking place April 21-22 in New Orleans.”

For the poll, Environics interviewed 1,007 people, resulting in a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Thinking for Yourself is Now a Crime

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

What was the greatest failure of 2007? President Bush’s “surge” in Iraq? The decline in the value of the US dollar? Sub prime mortgages? No. The greatest failure of 2007 was the newly sworn in Democratic Congress.

The American people’s attempt in November 2006 to rein in a rogue government, which has committed the US to costly military adventures while running roughshod over the US Constitution, failed. Replacing Republicans with Democrats in the House and Senate has made no difference.

The assault on the US Constitution by the Democratic Party is as determined as the assault by the Republicans. On October 23, 2007, the House passed a bill sponsored by California Democratic congresswoman Jane Harman [http://www.congress.org/bio/id/52], chairwoman of a Homeland Security subcommittee, that overturns the constitutionally guaranteed rights to free expression, association, and assembly.

The bill passed the House on a vote of 404-6. In the Senate the bill is sponsored by Maine Republican Susan Collins [http://www.congress.org/bio/id/283] and apparently faces no meaningful opposition. Harman’s bill is called the “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act.”When HR 1955 becomes law, it will create a commission tasked with identifying extremist people, groups, and ideas. The commission will hold hearings around the country, taking testimony and compiling a list of dangerous people and beliefs. The bill will, in short, create massive terrorism in the United States. But the perpetrators of terrorism will not be Muslim terrorists; they will be government agents and fellow citizens.

We are beginning to see who will be the inmates of the detention centers being built in the US by Halliburton under government contract.

Who will be on the “extremist beliefs” list? The answer is: civil libertarians, critics of Israel, 9/11 skeptics, critics of the administration’s wars and foreign policies, critics of the administration’s use of kidnapping, rendition, torture and violation of the Geneva Conventions, and critics of the administration’s spying on Americans. Anyone in the way of a powerful interest group–such as environmentalists opposing politically connected developers–is also a candidate for the list.

The “Extremist Beliefs Commission” is the mechanism for identifying Americans who pose “a threat to domestic security” and a threat of “homegrown terrorism” that “cannot be easily prevented through traditional federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts.”

This bill is a boon for nasty people. That SOB who stole your girlfriend, that hussy who stole your boyfriend, the gun owner next door–just report them to Homeland Security as holders of extreme beliefs. Homeland Security needs suspects, so they are not going to check. Under the new regime, accusation is evidence. Moreover, “our” elected representatives will never admit that they voted for a bill and created an “Extremist Belief Commission” for which there is neither need nor constitutional basis.

That boss who harasses you for coming late to work–he’s a good candidate to be reported; so is that minority employee that you can’t fire for any normal reason. So is the husband of that good-looking woman you have been unable to seduce. Every kind of quarrel and jealousy can now be settled with a phone call to Homeland Security.

Soon Halliburton will be building more detention centers.

Americans are so far removed from the roots of their liberty that they just don’t get it. Most Americans don’t know what habeas corpus is or why it is important to them. But they know what they want, and Jane Harman has given them a new way to settle scores and to advance their own interests.

Even educated liberals believe that the US Constitution is a “living document” that can be changed to mean whatever it needs to mean in order to accommodate some new important cause, such as abortion and legal privileges for minorities and the handicapped. Today it is the “war on terror” that the Constitution must accommodate. Tomorrow it can be the war on whomever or whatever.

Think about it. More than six years ago the World Trade Center and Pentagon were attacked. The US government blamed it on al Qaeda. The 9/11 Commission Report has been subjected to criticism by a large number of qualified people– including the commission’s chairman and co-chairman.

Since 9/11 there have been no terrorist attacks in the US. The FBI has tried to orchestrate a few, but the “terrorist plots” never got beyond talk organized and led by FBI agents. There are no visible extremist groups other than the neoconservatives that control the government in Washington. But somehow the House of Representatives overwhelmingly sees a need to create a commission to take testimony and search out extremist views (outside of Washington, of course).

This search for extremist views comes after President Bush and the Justice (sic) Department declared that the President can ignore habeas corpus, ignore the Geneva Conventions, seize people without evidence, hold them indefinitely without presenting charges, torture them until they confess to some made up crime, and take over the government by declaring an emergency. Of course, none of these “patriotic” views are extremist.

The search for extremist views follows also the granting of contracts to Halliburton to build detention centers in the US. No member of Congress or the executive branch ever explained the need for the detention centers or who the detainees would be. Of course, there is nothing extremist about building detention centers in the US for undisclosed inmates.

Clearly the detention centers are not meant to just stand there empty. Thanks to 2007′s greatest failure–the Democratic Congress–there is to be an “Extremist Beliefs Commission” to secure inmates for Bush’s detention centers.

President Bush promises us that the wars he has launched will cause the “untamed fire of freedom” to “reach the darkest corners of our world.” Meanwhile in America the fire of freedom has not only been tamed but also is being extinguished.
The light of liberty has gone out in the United States.

No to SPP, No to North American Union says Miss Fogal.

Connie Fogal says “That the North American continent is being transformed from three sovereign nations – Canada, USA, Mexico into one regional corporate power base and a North American Union police state through agreements like FTA, NAFTA, TILMA, and SPP. The Smart Border Action Plan, the Smart Regulation Action Plan and the Bi-National Planning Agreement. However, unlike the creation of the European Union, there is no public, political or academic discourse on the merits, or pros and cons of a North American Union or a vote within each nation as to the wish of the people to join such a union. It is being imposed on us by stealth by our own elected representatives and governments, and is already well on its way to fruition. The NDP is calling for a debate and vote in Parliament which will result in approval.
