Things you missed While the pope was in town MAKEOVER URGED FOR 'NORTH AMERICAN UNION' EFFORT, well I guess you never saw this because it was not front page news. Now normally I would not care but I have to get you to understand what the 'NORTH AMERICAN UNION' is. Well you understand that this continent is called the America's they have a northern edge, which I will call Canada, they have the middle the United states, and then there is the south which is Mexico down. You put these three together and what do you have wah la.

'NORTH AMERICAN UNION' sort of like the ‘European union'. Now from what we see of the EU, they have one government body that pretty much over rides all the member governments.

So all of a sudden the country comes under one new leader, one currency, our would probably be the Amero. All our parks and resources will be part of the union. If you get the picture you can see why Chavez of Venezuela is making the moves he has made, and called Bush el diablo.

You see all kinds of things are going on under the table when you are not looking. What is the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership or SPP. The House and Senate knows why don't you.

They also know about next week's North American summit in New Orleans, did you. 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.

Basically what they are saying is that we are idiots, they will change the name so they can throw us off (deception) but keep every thing else in place. They call it a trilateral arrangement, I call it a silent over throw, that I never voted for or gave up my right so someone else could vote for me.

You see America they want this to happen, and they will take it one step at a time until it does. You see what you say and what you do will just post pone this from happing, or cause them to process this deeper under cover.

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." "In the wake of the Montebello Summit (in Quebec last summer), one Canadian commentator declared the SPP 'dead' and 'defunct,'" Moens and Cust noted. "Another stated recently that the SPP has ' collapsed under a heap of conspiratorial rubbish."

But the authors argue the SPP is "far from dead." Acknowledging the SPP has a "low profile" currently, the Frasier Institute authors stress that trilateral talks in the bureaucratic working groups constituted under SPP by the three governments are continuing on both security and competitiveness policy issues.

"Its critics may have tarnished the 'SPP brand,'" Moens and Cust concede, "but the precise areas of its work - to follow where NAFTA left off and to do so by incorporating post-9/11 security criteria as well as public safety and quality of life issues (pandemic illnesses and food safety) - are key Canadian interests."

The Fraser Institute paper also encourages the SPP working groups to develop "a better communications strategy," so that the public " can begin to understand its benefits."

The authors, however, are opposed to expanding the list of SPP advisers to include public interest groups or the media, preferring to stay with the closed-door advice offered by the 30 corporations picked by the chambers of commerce in the three countries to serve as members of the North American Competitiveness Council, or NACC.

They also concede that Mexico has been a "drag" on border security talks, especially since illegal immigration into the U.S. has continued, if not accelerated, under the SPP. They admit "there is an enormous problem of illegal entry, drug smuggling, and violent incidents on the Mexican border," while continuing to argue "there is also a very large legal and orderly flow of goods between Mexico and the United States."

In 1999, economist Herbert G. Grubel of the Fraser institute wrote a paper entitled, "The Case for the Amero," presenting the first arguments in print that a North American currency should be created on the model of the euro in the European Union as a replacement for the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso.

The third SPP summit, held last August in Montebello, Quebec, involved a series of closed-door meetings attended only by the three state heads, the cabinet members in attendance, the SPP trilateral bureaucrats assigned to head the 20 working groups established under the SPP and the NACC business leaders.

Next Monday and Tuesday, President Bush will meet in New Orleans with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Harper.

The White House has changed the name of the meeting from the "Fourth SPP Annual Summit" to simply the "North American Leaders' Summit." Now they can change the name, but it is what it is, the sellout of the American public, It's been planned, and now it is being executed, and the scary thing is if it's all on the up and up, why all the closed door meetings. Things are being done in secrecy because they don't want you to know what they are doing.

They allow business to be involved but who is representing us. You know if it's our president we can just lay down and kiss our ass good bye, this is based on his past preformance.

Now America what shames me is that it is not us, who are doing all the crying, it is the Canadians, we are running around here with our heads in the ground, with our minds on the election, with our minds on the economy, losing Freedoms and rights in the name of security, while behind the scenes our business leaders and political leaders are selling us out.

All in the name of free trade and security, I guess I just have to laugh, they are even making use get a passports for a union that we are going to be part of. You don't get it they are screwing us and making us pay for it. Ha! Ha!

You see they figure if we are all in, there is no need for the borders, maybe that's why the fence hasn't been fully funded. But now they are going to make us believe its all about Standards and Regulatory, after all these years they are planning to show some real standardization and some regulation and some restraint, wild I guess Chavez did see the devil.

Now I rant and rave, but were is the right and the left on this one, were are the picket signs and protest? Why New Orleans? I guess the farther from D.C. the better. In closing be on the lookout for "North American Standards and Regulatory Area," or NASRA.
