COLUMN: America Has A Lot to Learn From the EU
By: Colby Lyons
Issue date: 3/19/08 Section: Opinion
Two weeks ago, I discussed the impending creation of the North American Union. There have been many who have shrugged off the warnings of what is happening to our nation, dismissing the well-informed individuals giving these warnings as conspiracy theorists. When considered alone, these warnings are grave enough. However, when one considers these warnings in light of what is occurring in Europe, the creation of a North American Union is much more ominous.
There are many parallels between the creation of the current European Union and the creation of a North American Union. If the citizens of the U.S., Mexico and Canada are not careful, we may find ourselves in the same situation the people of many nations of Europe are facing.
The European Union was not created overnight. Its foundation was laid in 1951 with the European Steel and Coal Community. This began the process of economic integration that has led to the further political integration of Europe.
The European Steel and Coal Community evolved gradually. Eventually, the European Economic Community was formed. This community later became the European Community. The European Community led to the current European Union.
Throughout this process, there were many who warned of a future political merger. These people were silenced by the architects of the EU and their allies.
European citizens were told repeatedly by their leaders that there were no plans for political integration. British journalist Christopher Brooker said British citizens were assured that the European Common Market was merely "an economic agreement: a kind of free-trading area primarily concerned with creating jobs and prosperity." People were told the agreements would lead to "harmonization," "integration" and "convergence." However, political integration was planned all along.
This should serve as a red flag to all Americans, as our leaders are feeding us the same lies about NAFTA, the FTAA and the SPP. These agreements have also been sold as mere economic agreements. However, these agreements are also paving the way for political integration.

I'm way up here in Michigan and we're seeing more and more Mexicans and Central Americans, most surely are illegal aliens. That means they are likely cheating on identity, comitting social security fraud, income tax evasion, driving with a (valid) license, etc. (Continued…)

By any other name NAFTA and CAFTA is the inception of THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION. Go and talk to the British/English people and you will find that their identity as a sovereign country has been stolen by this monstrosity. (Continued…)
