Quietly, quietly building the North American Union

Just when you thought it might be safe to go on to topics other than regional integration and trade practices driven by the love of money and the lust for power, you get blindsided again.

While ordinary Americans were reflecting on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, globalists of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico were making their way quietly, quietly, to Banff, Alberta for the North American Forum held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel Sept. 12–14. The meeting was closed-doors. According to some reports buses with attendees were arriving at night. There was no print media coverage in the U.S. and very little in Canada; I was able to download an article from the Toronto-based Star. Those who do not get their news from the Internet remain in the dark about one of the biggest unfolding events of the present decade: the globalist social engineering of a North American Union.

WorldNetDaily was able to obtain materials marked Internal Document, Not For Public Release. The whistleblower, Mel Hurtig, noted Canadian author, publisher, and leader of the National Party of Canada, told WorldNetDaily that the “secret meeting was designed to undermine the democratic process…. It was clear that the intention was to keep this important meeting about integrating the three countries out of the public eye.”

Representing the U.S. in Banff was Former U.S. Secretary of State George Schulz. Representing Mexico was Former Mexican Finance Minister Pedro Aspe. Representing Canada was Former Premier of Alberta, Peter Lougheed. The first session featured opening comments by each. The sessions that followed had names like, “A Vision for North America: Issues and Options,” “Toward a North American Energy Strategy,” “Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration,” and “Border Infrastructure and Continental Prosperity.”

1. pay attention to this as it's hugely important

2. I submit the opposite should be done.

I submit that regionalism, not continentalism, is the more sensible solution.

I submit that governments that hide from their people are illegitimate, and I say the same thing of corporations, especially these unsavory characters. They are tools of oppression, and they must be opposed. A government cannot claim to be standing with the people at the same time it stands with war profiteers and dictators and various undemocratic regimes. It cannot have it both ways.

Finally, I submit that instead of having central state bureaucracies that are hundreds if not thousands of miles away from where you live dictating to you about what you can or can't do with respect to your life and the lives of your family and friends, I say that people should get educated, organize themselves at the local/regional level, and assert their inalienable right to determine their own destinies in a collective fashion, to determine collectively how resources should be allocated in a manner people deem worthy. I believe in governance from the bottom, not from the top.

As a result, I now question the very legitimacy of the federal government. There's been enough atrocities committed by the federal government against the people and against the world for the sake of corporate greed and power for power's sake.

3. Excellent ideas here. Unfortunately,

the general population is, I fear, not educated or informed enough to understand just exactly how hard they're being f---ed.

And if the rate at which this post dropped is any indicator, lots of us would need an education.

KICK!

6. We used to call that Federalism, but somewhere along the way

corporations became "persons" due to a misreading of the 14th amendment and the state governments are becoming largely irrelevant due to another misreading of the Constitution(commerce clause).


But it all comes down to the real people, if we are too lazy to hang onto self-government, the corporations will exercise control over us rather than vice-versa.

7. This is all because of the Federal Reserve.

And the international bankers. They've dominated the national banking scene and now want to go to regional and global. If we can repeal the Federal Reserve Act, the forces behind this will be disempowered.

America: Freedom to Fascism
By Matt Hutaff
Oct 10, 2006

Aaron Russo's compelling new documentary reveals an America betrayed long ago... and a glimmer of hope that we can still fix things.

Midway through Aaron Russo's America: Freedom to Fascism I turned to a friend and found him looking shell-shocked. "Everything okay?" I whispered.
"Ignorance really is bliss," he answered.
The look of discomfort remained on his face until we left the theater. "I've known most of the information they presented for a couple of years," I said. "But it's wild to see it all put together like that."
"You've known about this stuff for that long?"
"Yeah," I shrugged as we walked towards our cars.
"Man, how do you get through the day?"
That's a good question.
