COLUMN:The North American Union is More Than a Theory
By: Colby Lyons
Issue date: 3/5/08 Section: Opinion
In May, 100 university students from the United States, Mexico and Canada will be gathering in Montreal for a very unique meeting. These students will be participating in a North American model parliament, sponsored by the North American Forum on Integration. According to the NAFI Web site, the purpose of this gathering is "to bring together future leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico in order to sensitize them to the challenges of North American integration and to develop their sense of North American identity." This should serve to awaken Americans to the plans that are being laid out for our nation. If we do not understand what is going on and act soon, we may well find ourselves as citizens of a new North American Union.
A great deal of groundwork for the planned future of our nation was laid with the creation of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. This helped pave the way for the economic integration of our nation with our neighbors.
The structure created by NAFTA has been greatly enlarged with the creation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership in 2005. The SPP has been sold to Americans as an effort to promote the security and prosperity of the U.S. According to a joint statement issued by the three heads of state at the time, the SPP would also serve to "help consolidate our action into a North American framework to confront security and economic challenges ..."
To help achieve its goals, the SPP mandated the creation of "ministerial-level Security and Prosperity Partnership working groups." The groups will "consult with stakeholders in their respective countries, set specific ... goals and implementation dates" and "identify concrete steps the governments can take to achieve these goals." These unelected, unaccountable groups will act as policy makers for the three nations.
The further plans for the establishment of a North American Union (or a "North American Community" as its planners have called it) are clearly laid out in a report created by the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America, which was composed of 31 influential individuals from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The report, titled "Building a North American Community," explains the visions these individuals have for North America. Among other things, it calls for the creation of North American Advisory Council, which would, according to the report, have an advisory role to the three governments. It would also monitor the implementation of its recommendations.

Young Mr. Lyons will shortly be labled as a "conspiricy nut" for his temerity to have mentioned the planned abolition of Ben Franklin's Republic.
The game is the free flow of labor (people) and the lowest common wage level that free trade requires. (Continued…)

I'm sure our President will say, "what North American Union?" Lies come so easily to politicians, I think there must be a school that incoming pols must attend to learn the art of prevarication. (Continued…)

Being able to say 'Seven flags over Texas' is just as palatable as seeing the North American Union flag flying over the Texas Alamo. And not mentioned in this article is the expectation of the Amero currency taking the place of currency issued from the US Treasury. (Continued…)
