RECOMMENDED: Dr. Jerome Corsi has written THE book on this issue: The Late, Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada. In the New York Times bestseller The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada, Jerome Corsi proves that the benignly-named "Security and Prosperity Partnership," created at a meeting between George W. Bush, Stephen Harper and Vincente Fox, is in fact the same kind of regional integration plan that led Europe to form the EU. According to Corsi, the elites in Europe who wanted to create a European nation knew that "it would be necessary to conceal from the peoples of Europe just what was being done in their name until the process was so far advanced that it had become irreversible." Could the same thing be happening here? Is American sovereignty doomed?  Available at Amazon.com.

AN “End Run” Around U.S. Sovereignty

By Cathie Adams, President of Texas Eagle Forum

Global elitists have been working aggressively to make an “end run” around our national sovereignty in hopes of creating a North American Union modeled after the European Union, EU. Many are members of the Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, and the Trilateral Commission, TLC. Edward Mandell House, former advisor to President Woodrow Wilson, founded the CFR in 1921. In 1973, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Ford Foundation and other top business and political leaders from various countries organized the TLC.

A member of both organizations, Richard Gardner in Foreign Affairs in 1974 wrote, “An end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.” Regretfully, both major political parties have embraced his idea of using treaties and trade agreements to create a new economic world order.

The North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1994, was the first major “end run” around our national sovereignty as explained by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in a Los Angeles Times Op-Ed in 1993: “It [NAFTA] will represent the most creative step toward a new world order taken by any group of countries since the end of the Cold War, and the first step toward an even larger vision of a free-trade zone for the entire Western Hemisphere.  NAFTA is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system.”

Kissinger’s “new international system” began in earnest at the beginning of the new millennium. Looking for a massive transfer of wealth from the U.S. to Mexico, former Mexican President Vicente Fox in a 2000 speech proposed his “20/20 vision” calling for a customs union, a common external tariff, greater coordination of policies, common monetary policies, free flow of labor and money transfers for development of poor Mexican regions of from $10-30 billion.

Two years later in 2002, CFR and TLC member Robert Pastor presented “A North American Community. A Modest Proposal to the Trilateral Commission” to include North American passports, a Permanent Court on Trade and Investment to resolve disputes within NAFTA and final authority over judgments of the U.S. Supreme Court, and an integrated continental plan for transportation and infrastructure.

The following year, in 2003, Governor Rick Perry signed the Trans-Texas Corridor legislation into law, made possible by a George H.W. Bush Executive Order 12803 signed in 1992 that allows for infrastructure privatization, another European model.

In 2004, Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, in a speech in Fort Worth commended business leaders for their push of the NAFTA highway (Trans-Texas Corridor), citing the U.S. obligation under the NAFTA treaty to enable the “movement of people, of products and of capital across borders.”

Because federal and state highway funds were inadequate to build the Trans-Texas Corridor, President George W. Bush signed the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act, SAFETEA, in 2005 that legalized charging tolls on existing and planned interstate highways, bridges and tunnels.

To connect the dots on the NAFTA highway:

• It all began with President George H.W.  Bush’s 1992 Executive Order #12803 that allowed for infrastructure privatization,
• The passage of NAFTA in 1994,
•   Former Mexican President Vicente Fox’ “20-20 vision” in 2000,
•   Robert Pastor’s “Building a North American Community” in 2002 and
•   Governor Perry’s 2003 signature creating the Trans-Texas Corridor,
•   Followed by the SAFETEA Act signed in 2005 by President George W. Bush to legalize tolling of existing and planned highways, bridges and tunnels.

Lest anyone disagree with this “end run” around national sovereignty and the building of the NAFTA highway, the business partner of the company building segments of the Trans-Texas Corridor has purchased 40 newspapers representing communities along the proposed route. Macquarie Media Group Ltd, a subsidiary of Macquarie Bank, parent of Macquarie Infrastructure, has a new conduit to convince citizens along the route.

Sometimes referred to as NAFTA Plus, the Security and Prosperity Partnership, SPP, was signed on March 23, 2005 in Waco, Texas, by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada.

The Hudson Institute’s 35-page white paper on the SPP reveals, “The most important feature of the SPP design is that it is neither intended to produce a treaty nor an executive agreement like the NAFTA that would require congressional ratification or the passage of implementing legislation in the U.S. The SPP was designed to function within existing administrative authority of the executive branch.”

The CFR document, “Building a North American Community,” states that its recommendations are “explicitly linked” to the SPP, which calls for a “common perimeter” around North America by 2010.

Before Americans unwittingy accept this European Union model, it would be wise to consider a comment by former German President Roman Herzog (1994-1999). He said that the EU threatens their “parliamentary democracy,” noting that 84% of Germany’s laws between 1999 and 2004 came from EU headquarters in Brussels, rather than from its own parliament.

Even so, the new German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also the current president of the European Council, along with President Bush and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso created the Transatlantic Economic Council on April 30, 2007. The goal is to create a Transatlantic Common Market between the U.S. and the EU by 2015.

Economic indicators are that this “end run” around our national sovereignty is costly. Since 2001, America has suffered the seven largest trade deficits in history, the loss of 3.5 million manufacturing jobs and the collapse of the dollar. Gold has gone from $260 an ounce to $1000 and oil from $28 a barrel to more than $100. And Congress just raised the U.S. borrowing authority in the 2009 budget to an all time high of $10.2 trillion.

The recent sale of Bear Stearns to JPMorgan was stage-managed by the Federal Reserve, which disregarded the New York Stock Exchange’s rule that prevents anyone from buying more than 20% of a company without a shareholder vote. While Bear Stearns’ shares were trading at $67 the first week of March 2008, they were sold to JPMorgan at $10, up from the original agreed-to bargain basement price of $2. One year ago, Bear Stearns’ shares were trading as high as $170.

The mentor of former President Bill Clinton, Dr. Carroll Quigley, wrote in his 1966 book, “Tragedy & Hope, A History Of The World In Our Time,” that the goal of investment bankers was “nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.” All of this done with “secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.” The Federal Reserve fits snugly into Quigley’s explanation of a “world system of financial control in private hands.”

Our personal privacy is also negatively impacted by this “end run” around national sovereignty. According to Congressman Ron Paul, the 2005 REAL ID bill creates a massive database of sensitive information on American citizens that will be shared with Canada and Mexico.

It also impacts national security. On February 14, 2008, U.S. Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart and Canadian Air Force Lt.-Gen. Marc Dumais signed a Civil Assistance Plan that allows the military from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a civil emergency. This agreement bypasses the Posse Comitatus that prohibits the U.S. military from operating within our borders.

The combination of this Civil Assistance Plan and the May 2007 Presidential Directive 20, which authorizes the president to “declare a national emergency and take over all functions of federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments,” without Congressional approval, is a frightening scenario that undermines our national security.

Our Declaration of Independence states, “That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Never did our Founders intend the Executive Branch to make secret agreements and sidestep the Legislative Branch altogether, yet that is exactly what is happening.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: Ask your congressman to inject his legislative authority over the Executive Branch. Congress can and must stop the road to an American EU. Share this article with others to inform them that our national sovereignty is at stake. An outcry from grassroots Texans forced our representatives to put a partial moratorium on the Trans-Texas Corridor, and despite the media’s approval of the TTC, scores of angry Texans packed the TTC hearings and made a positive impact. 

We need NOT be alarmed while we KEEP WATCH of world events. TEF’s aim in presenting these facts is to inform you and to encourage you to follow Jesus’ directives found in Matthew 24 and 25. Let us live each day to the glory of God as we anticipate His glorious appearing.

Texas Corridor detour: Officials nix land grab
Toll plan tossed: 'Any area that is not along an existing highway will not be considered'

WorldNetDaily

Opponents of a plan to build a Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) road and rail system from Mexico to Oklahoma received welcome news this week, as Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) officials announced their strategy would no longer include building new highway routes southwest of Houston, a plan that would have annexed huge tracts of private land.

The $184 billion TTC project originally called for a 4,000-mile network of transportation corridors, 1,200 feet wide, to be built across Texas. The plan would have taken about a half million agricultural acres out of private hands, leading to a maelstrom of objections from Texas landowners.

But now TxDOT executive Director Amadeo Saenz says plans have changed. In a conference call with reporters he said TxDOT "had narrowed the study area for TTC I-69" and that the department "is going to be considering only existing highway" routes, and "any area that is not along an existing highway will not be considered."

"This is great news for landowners," said John Means, president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. "TSCRA appreciates the agency's decision to not build the toll roads through rural lands that would threaten the private property rights of many of our members."

The TxDOT website states that "the preliminary basis for this decision centers on the review of nearly 28,000 public comments made" on the issue. Saenz added that 47 town hall meetings with Texas residents had further influenced the decision.

Brehham, Tex., State Rep. Lois W. Kolkhorst, who joined in the battle to protect rural lands from the project, told The Huntsville Item, "The real heroes who deserve the credit here are the constituents. I want to thank the thousands of people who joined me in fighting the I-69 TTC for the past 5 years, writing letters, calling and attending meetings to make their voices heard."
