THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
U.S., Mexico, Canada 'harmonizing' policies
North American deep cooperation on many fronts already under way,
reveals new official publication
Posted: January 15, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern
WASHINGTON – The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,
which some have criticized as a framework for moving toward regional
government between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, has laid out plans for
increased regulatory cooperation between the three nations in new, full-
color, trilingual publications obtained by WND.
Copies of the "2005 Report to Leaders" and the "2006 Report to Leaders"
were sent to WND by several congressional offices that are beginning to
take a serious interest in SPP working group activities and decision-
making.
The copyright page of the 2005 report indicates that the report was co-
published by the governments of the United States and Mexico, as well as
copyrighted in Canada.
The 2005 and 2006 reports continue to discuss numerous memoranda of
understanding and other agreements that the trilateral working groups
are formulating on their own, without direct congressional oversight or
any reference to being published in the Federal Register. Yet, the vast
majority of the agreements reached under SPP have never been published.
The reports discuss the SPP's trilateral modification of administrative
rules and regulation under the rubric of "integrating" and
"harmonizing" into a "North American" structure what previously were
administrative rules and regulations of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
For instance, under a heading that includes the U.N. "sustainability"
language, the energy working group announces in the 2005 report that
their goal is, "Creating a sustainable energy economy for North
America." Justifying the working group's activity as producing
"appropriate coordination" between regulators, the report concludes:
"All agree that the regulatory efforts of the National Energy Board
(NEB), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and Comisión
Reguladora de Energía (CRE) will benefit from increased communication
and cooperation concerning the timing and other procedural aspects of
related matters that may be pending between the three agencies."
The report then calls for the announcement of a trilateral regulators'
group that will meet three times a year (every four months) to discuss
"issues affecting cross-border energy projects." The 2006 report notes
that this "key milestone" was completed.
Some critics of the SPP see it leading toward a breakdown of national
sovereignty and representative government, fearing it will lead
inexorably toward a European Union-style regionalization for North
America.
"Now that we see books being published by SPP, how can anyone deny that
the Bush administration is involved in a process of North American deep
integration?" asks Jerome R. Corsi, author and WND columnist who is
writing a book on the movement. "SPP is creating North American
regulations that replace and supersede U.S. regulations in a wide range
of policy areas. Just the three-language format of the full color
production is enough to let readers know that the Bush administration
considers our appropriate regulatory scope to be North American in
nature. We no longer have a U.S. energy policy, for instance, we have a
North American energy policy."
Corsi, known as one of the chief critics of plans for a North American
Union, said:
"Since 2001 and the formation of the Prosperity Partnership with Mexico,
trilateral working group activity in North America has been gaining
momentum. After the declaration of the Security and Prosperity
Partnership of North America in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005, we have
a full-fledged shadow bureaucracy that is setting up the regulatory
structure for what could easily evolve into a full regional government."
The North American Energy Working Group has now set up a webpage on the
U.S. Department of Energy website. A January 2006 report entitled "North
America – The Energy Picture II" documents that the NAEWG first met June
27-28, 2001, in Washington. Since then, there have been eight more NAEWG
full working group meetings "convened in various locations of the three
countries, with many more meetings of the various expert groups convened
under the NAEWG agenda."
According to "North America – The Energy Picture II," NAEWG activities
can be traced back to the Hemispheric Energy Ministers Meeting in
Mexico, on March 8, 2001, when the heads of Natural Resources Canada,
the Mexican Secretariat of Energy, and the U.S. Department of Energy
"formally committed to work together to facilitate a stronger North
American energy sector."
"Despite the advanced stage of SPP working group activity," Corsi said,
"few U.S. congressmen or senators have any idea that SPP working groups
are producing a North American regulatory structure. I still find myself
going into the offices of congressmen and senators on Capitol Hill and
having to work with staff to show them SPP websites they never have seen
before, even though some of their bosses sit on committees that are
supposed to be responsible for oversight of the SPP activities I am
showing them for the first time."
"SPP is one of the best kept secrets in Washington," Corsi told WND,
"even though SPP has a website, there are SPP websites embedded in the
websites of many government agencies, and now SPP is publishing full-
color books in three languages. Yet, nobody in Washington has bothered
to hold a single SPP hearing. Meanwhile, we are being led into regional
government by bureaucrats whose mission is to create North American
policies, not to worry about the sovereignty of the United States."
The SPP website contains somewhat different versions of the 2005
prosperity agenda and security agenda, as well as the 2006 prosperity
agenda and the security agenda.
"This is no conspiracy," Corsi continued. "Conspiracies are conducted in
secret. Now, SPP even publishes books documenting the North American
deep integration agenda the SPP working groups are advancing day-by-
day."
The 2006 published Report to Leaders documents the following working
group activity in the Prosperity Agenda:
* Manufactured Goods and Sectoral and Regional Competitiveness
* Movement of Goods
* E-Commerce and ICT
* Financial Services
* Transportation
* Energy
* Environment
* Food and Agriculture
* Health
The 2006 Report to Leaders identifies the following Security Agenda
initiatives, key milestones, and status of completion in the following
areas:
1. Secure North America from External Threats
* Traveler Security
* Cargo Security
* Bioprotection
2. Prevent and Respond to Threats within North America
* Aviation Security
* Maritime Security
* Law Enforcement Cooperation
* Intelligence Cooperation
* Protection, Prevention and Response
3. Further Streamline the Secure Movement of Low-Risk Traffic Across Our
Shared Borders
* Border Facilitation
* Science and Technology Cooperation
SPP is organized within the Department of Commerce. Those who want to
receive copies of the printed 2005 and 2006 reports, may contact Geri
Word, the administrator within the Department of Commerce who appears
most responsible for organizing SPP activity.

Hey, if you get to use wnd.com as a "legitimate" source, does that mean I

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
Bush sneaking North American super-state without oversight?
Mexico, Canada partnership underway with no authorization from Congress
Posted: June 13, 2006
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi
Despite having no authorization from Congress, the Bush administration
has launched extensive working-group activity to implement a trilateral
agreement with Mexico and Canada.
The membership of the working groups has not been published, nor has
their work product been disclosed, despite two years of massive effort
within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
The groups, working under the North American Free Trade Agreement office
in the Department of Commerce, are to implement the Security and
Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican
President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in
Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005.
The trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration not submitted to
Congress for review, led to the creation of the SPP office within the
Department of Commerce.
The SPP report to the heads of state of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, --
released June 27, 2005, -- lists some 20 different working groups
spanning a wide variety of issues ranging from e-commerce, to aviation
policy, to borders and immigration, involving the activity of multiple
U.S. government agencies.
The working groups have produced a number of memorandums of
understanding and trilateral declarations of agreement.
The Canadian government and the Mexican government each have SPP offices
comparable to the U.S. office.
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office within the NAFTA office of the U.S.
Department of Commerce affirmed to WND last Friday in a telephone
interview that the membership of the working groups, as well as their
work products, have not been published anywhere, including on the
Internet.
Why the secrecy?
"We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups
distracted by calls from the public," said Word.
She suggested to WND that the work products of the working groups was
described on the SPP website, so publishing the actual documents did not
seem required.
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP
working groups. The closest to enabling legislation was introduced in
the Senate by Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., on April 20, 2005. Listed as
S. 853, the bill was titled "North American Cooperative Security Act: A
bill to direct the Secretary of State to establish a program to bolster
the mutual security and safety of the United States, Canada, and Mexico,
and for other purposes." The bill never emerged from the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
In the House of Representatives, the same bill was introduced by Rep.
Katherine Harris, R-Fla., on May 26, 2005. Again, the bill languished in
the House Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and
Terrorism Risk Assessment.
WND cannot find any congressional committees taking charge for specific
oversight of SPP activity.
WND has requested from Word in the U.S. Department of Commerce a
complete listing of the contact persons and the participating membership
for the working groups listed in the June 2005 SPP report to the
trilateral leaders. In addition, WND asked to see all work products,
such as memorandums of understanding, letters of intent, and trilateral
agreements that are referenced in the report.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific
objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task
force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP
agreement into a North American Union that would merge the U.S., Canada
and Mexico into a new governmental form.
Referring to the SPP joint declaration, the report, entitled "Building a
North American Community," stated:
The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the
partnership can be pursued and realized.
To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North
American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We
propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005
Joint Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity
are mutually dependent and complementary." Its boundaries will be
defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter
within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be
legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure,
just, and prosperous North America.
The CFR task force report called for establishment of a common security
border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement
of people, commerce and capital within North America, facilitated by the
development of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S.
passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Also envisioned by the CFR task force report were a North American
court, a North American inter-parliamentary group, a North American
executive commission, a North American military defense command, a North
American customs office and a North American development bank.
