N. American students trained for 'merger'
10 universities participate in 'model Parliament' in Mexico to simulate
'integration' of 3 nations

World Net Daily | September 25 2006

In another example of the way the three nations of North America are
being drawn into a federation, or "merger," students from 10
universities in the U.S., Mexico and Canada are participating annually
in a simulated "model Parliament."

Under the sponsorship of the Canadian based North American Forum on
Integration, students met in the Mexican Senate for five days in May in
an event dubbed "Triumvirate," with organizers declaring "A North
American Parliament is born."

A similar event took place in the Canadian Senate in 2005.

The intentions of organizers are clear.

"The creation of a North American parliament, such as the one being
simulated by these young people, should be considered," explained
Raymond Chretien, the president of the Triumvirate and the former
Canadian ambassador to both Mexico and the U.S.

Participants discuss draft bills on trade corridors, immigration,
provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement and produce a
daily newspaper called "The TrilatHerald."

The 10 universities taking part include Harvard, American University,
Carlton University, Simon Fraser, Universite de Montreal, Ecole
nationale d'administration publique, Monterrey TEC, CIDE, Monterrey
University and Instituto Mexicano de la Juventud.

Officials taking part have included James Williams, the former U.S.
ambassador to Canada. The North American Forum on Integration says the
annual event enjoys the support of the U.S. Embassy in Canada, the
Canadian Embassy in Mexico and the North American Development Bank. It
also has been supported by at least one U.S. news organization – the
Houston Chronicle.

NAFI says it is "a non-profit organization devoted to developing North
American dialogue and networks and at publicizing issues raised by North
American integration."

The board of directors of NAFI include Robert A. Pastor, professor and
director of the Center for North American Studies at American University
and vice chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations Task Force on
North America. He has testified before the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations on the idea of merging the United States, Mexico and Canada in
a North American union stretching from Prudhoe Bay to Guatemala.

"What we need to do," Pastor instructed, "is forge a new North American
Community. ... Instead of stopping North Americans on the borders, we
ought to provide them with a secure, biometric border pass that would
ease transit across the border like an E-Z pass permits our cars to
speed through tolls."

Pastor is the author of "Toward a North American Community," a book
promoting the development of a North American union as a regional
government and the adoption of the amero as a common monetary currency
to replace the dollar and the peso.

As vice chairman of the May 2005 CFR task force, he is an architect of
the Building a North American Community" plan that presents itself as a
blueprint for using bureaucratic action within the executive branches of
Mexico, the U.S. and Canada to transform the current trilateral Security
and Prosperity Partnership of North America into a North American union
regional government.

The CFR report is a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a
North American economic and security community" with a common "outer
security perimeter." Some see it as the blueprint for merger of the
U.S., Canada and Mexico. It calls for "a common economic space ... for
all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital and people
flow freely."

The CFR's strategy calls specifically for "a more open border for the
movement of goods and people." It calls for laying "the groundwork for
the freer flow of people within North America." It calls for efforts to
"harmonize visa and asylum regulations." It calls for efforts to
"harmonize entry screening."

In "Building a North American Community," the report states that Bush,
Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin
"committed their governments" to this goal March 23, 2005, at that
meeting in Waco, Texas.

Pastor believes the U.S. and Canadian government should divert
significant new taxpayer funding to solving the problems of the poor in
Mexico.

"If Canada and the United States contributed just 10 percent of what the
European Union spends on aid for its poorest member, and if Mexico
invested it wisely in infrastructure and education, then Mexico could
begin to grow at twice the rate of its northern neighbors, and North
America would have found the magic formula to lift developing countries
to the level of the industrialized world," he said in 2002.

The next Triumvirate model parliament conference will be in the United
States – in either New York or Washington, according to a spokeswoman
for the North American Forum.

It's not just the mock "parliament" sessions involving students of the
three countries that raises concerns among those suspicious about
political and social "inertia" moving the U.S. into a European
Union-style merger with its northern and southern neighbors.

Earlier this month, a high-level, top-secret meeting of the North
American Forum took place in Banff, Canada – with topics ranging from "A
Vision for North America," "Opportunities for Security Cooperation" and
"Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration."

Pastor was listed as a confirmed participant in that meeting, along with
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of State George
Shultz, former Central Intelligence Agency Director R. James Woolsey,
former Immigration and Naturalization Services Director Doris Meissner,
former Defense Secretary William Perry, former Energy Secretary and
Defense Secretary James Schlesinger and top officials of both Mexico and
Canada.

Opposition is mounting to such meetings, policy papers and presidential
directives leading to what some critics characterize as "NAFTA on
steroids." The concerns began in earnest March 31, 2005, when the
elected leaders of the U.S., Mexico and Canada agreed to advance the
agenda of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

Perhaps the most blistering criticism came earlier this summer from Lou
Dobbs of CNN – a frequent critic of President Bush's immigration
policies.

"A regional prosperity and security program?" he asked rhetorically in a
recent cablecast. "This is absolute ignorance. And the fact that we are
– we reported this, we should point out, when it was signed. But, as we
watch this thing progress, these working groups are continuing. They're
intensifying. What in the world are these people thinking about? You
know, I was asked the other day about whether or not I really thought
the American people had the stomach to stand up and stop this nonsense,
this direction from a group of elites, an absolute contravention of our
law, of our Constitution, every national value. And I hope, I pray that
I'm right when I said yes. But this is – I mean, this is beyond belief."

No one seems quite certain what that agenda is because of the vagueness
of the official declarations. But among the things the leaders of the
three countries agreed to work toward were borders that would allow for
easier and faster moving of goods and people between the countries.

Coming as the announcement did in the midst of a raging national debate
in the U.S. over borders seen as far to open already, more than a few
jaws dropped.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. and the chairman of the House Immigration
Reform Caucus as well as author of the new book, "In Mortal Danger," may
be the only elected official to challenge openly the plans for the new
superstate.

Responding to a WND report, Tancredo is demanding the Bush
administration fully disclose the activities of the government office
implementing the trilateral agreement that has no authorization from
Congress.

Tancredo wants to know the membership of the Security and Prosperity
Partnership groups along with their various trilateral memoranda of
understanding and other agreements reached with counterparts in Mexico
and Canada.

Why the secrecy?

Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been
disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the
working groups distracted by calls from the public."

The concerns about the direction such powerful men could lead Americans
without their knowledge is only heightened when interlocking networks
are discovered. For instance, one of the components envisioned for this
future "North American Union" is a superhighway running from Mexico,
through the U.S. and into Canada. It is being promoted by the North
American SuperCorridor Coalition, or NASCO, a non-profit group
"dedicated to developing the world’s first international, integrated and
secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International
Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the
trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America."

The president of NASCO is George Blackwood, who earlier launched the
North American International Trade Corridor Partnership. In fact, NAITCP
later morphed into NASCO. A NAITCP summit meeting in 2004, attended by
senior Mexican government officials, heard from American University's
Pastor.

So are you all getting the big picture now??

If what you're talking about comes into being-
WE ARE FUCKED!!!!
The US has more to offer than either Canada or Mexico.
Why would we even CONSIDER merging?
The US has bent over and let the United Nations fuck us,
we bent over and joined NAFTA, we've allowed outsourcing
(which sends alot of our jobs over to India!), and from what
you're saying, we are setting ourselves up for the REALLY
BIG FUCK. This is the problem with the US, we think we
have the answers for everybody else's problems, we provide
aid to other countries, AND WE DO NOTHING TO HELP OURSELVES!
We don't even have our own house in order and we fuck around
in other peoples business. I say that once the homeless are
fed, once people who need jobs finds them, and everybody
in the US is guaranteed at least a MINIMUM standard of
healthcare, until we help ourselves, we should do nothing
cos we can't afford it. I used to like Bush, I voted for
him, but I don't really support him anymore cos it seems
like he wants to give this country away on a silver platter
so his rich buddies can get even richer. I don't think
Bush gives a damn about the middle class or the poor and
it is those groups of people who will be most affected
by all this bullshit.

these ideas all stem from the new world order philosophy and now
everybody seems so concerned with a global economy(which is a part of
the new world order). bush believes in the idea and so did his dad. i
don't think the government will ever completely agree to do the
unification thing but it is definitely a very real possibility. all it
amounts to for the moment is exploration of the idea and i don't think
that there is anything wron with exploring options but i don't think it
would ever work as a reality.
