- The United States of America, once-long ago-a Constitutional
republic, is being erased. The erasure of America isn't reported on the
6 o'clock news, of course. It isn't much noticed, because it is happening
too slowly-although the pace has increased over the past couple of decades.
Be this as it may, there is no need to speak of "conspiracy theories."
For one thing, it isn't a theory. It is as much a fact as gravity. It is
being carried out in plain sight, not behind closed doors in smoke filled
rooms. Anyone with Web access can follow the process. Those in the business
of erasing America know, however, that they are operating in a culture
whose educational system has been strip-mined, so to speak. America's masses
by and large don't know what a Constitutional republic is, and use the
Web the same way they use television-for entertainment. But all you need
to know is there, and you don't have to stick with NewsWithViews.com or
Steven Yates's blog.
-
- Go, for example, to the website of the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR). There you will find a document entitled Building a North
American Community. It first appeared on the site this past spring. Checking
in at 47 pages excluding acknowledgements and other front matter, Building
a North American Community provides a blueprint for the integration of
the United States, Mexico and Canada under a single supranational authority.
This plan would, for all practical purposes, dissolve the borders between
each nation and end the lip-service that must still be paid to the Constitution
within our own. It would bring NAFTA to fruition, building more of the
"architecture of a new international system" about which Dr.
Henry Kissinger spoke candidly back in 1993 when NAFTA was being accorded
bipartisan support as a "free trade" agreement.
-
- Regional unification would solve the illegal immigration
problem by fiat, of course, by promoting the free movement of peoples across
the former borders, an idea Mexican president Vicente Fox has promoted
openly on numerous occasions. We will doubtless still speak of a United
States, a Mexico, and a Canada. But their status would be very much like
the status of formerly independent nations of the European Union, which
is becoming a unified political entity whose citizens move as freely across
borders as we do from state to state. The Europeans are just a few years
ahead of us on the curve. The CFR report, which went online late last spring,
has the endorsement of the Bush Administration. On March 23 of this past
year, President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime
Minister Paul Martin joined in committing their governments to this "regional
integration."
-
- For the details here, go to the website of the Security
and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). President Bush has spoken
of the common commitment of the three eventually-to-be-dissolved North
American nations "to markets and democracy, freedom and trade, and
mutual prosperity and security." Notice that he speaks of markets,
not free markets. Note that he speaks of democracy, when what our Founding
Fathers created was (in Ben Franklin's immortal words) "a republic,
if you can keep it." Again, because of the strip-mining of our educational
system mentioned above, he can get away with this. The average School-To-Work
high school graduate has no idea that America was founded as a republic
and not a democracy, by men severely critical of democracy. As for prosperity,
it seems clear that since NAFTA we have grown not more but less prosperous
as our national economy has literally bled manufacturing jobs and replaced
them with low-paying "service sector" jobs. By 2003, almost ten
years after NAFTA went into effect, America's middle class was massively
in debt, the average debt by those owning one credit card being $9,250,
up over $6,000 from 1990.
-
- By September of this year, our savings rates had actually
gone negative. Unemployment is much larger than the government's official
statistics reveal, because those statistics do not count people who have
ceased seeking work as unemployed. Moreover, no one keeps statistics on
underemployment, the employment of men and women at jobs well beneath their
educational level or mental capacity. Examples of the latter: the science
graduate who stocks shelves at the local Wal-Mart, the former high-tech
employee compelled to take a job sorting mail. There is simply no evidence
that eroding our national borders will reverse this slow destruction of
the American middle class, and every reason to think the process will be
accelerated as more jobs depart overseas for cheaper labor.
-
- The contention that a unification of North America will
increase the security of the three eventually-to-be-dissolved nations is
even stranger. Our government will not protect its own borders despite
worries of our being at risk of another terrorist attack because doing
so would conflict with the regional integration desired by the super elite.
For many of us this points directly at the deceptive nature of the "war
on terror": if the feds were really interested in protecting the American
public, the Bush Administration would have long pulled America out of all
this misguided globalism, forgotten about that boondoggle in Iraq, recalled
our troops from the hundred or so nations where they are stationed overseas,
and used them to close our porous borders.
-
- But never mind all that. The SPP will create a far larger
perimeter to defend! Mexico has a southern border as porous as our own,
if not more so. Small wonder that Lou Dobbs, one of the few voices in the
mainstream media drawing attention to the problems with recent pseudo-free
trade accords and immigration policies, can ask, Have our political elites
gone mad?
-
- The plan is to have the super-elites' North American
Community in place by the year 2010. Here is what they want:
-
- *
- Military and law enforcement cooperation between
all three eventually-to-be-dissolved nations;
- *
- Canadians and Mexicans brought into the American
Department of Homeland Security;
- *
- "[T]emporary migrant worker programs expanded
with full mobility of labor between the three countries in the next five
years.
-
- Not even the mainstream media is ignoring this. The above-mentioned
Dobbs posed his question on CNN. As I said at the outset, the super-elite
is not really hiding anymore! Consider the following exchange that took
place on the air between CNN's Christine Romans and Dobbs:
-
- Romans: "The idea here is to make North America
more like the European Union"
-
- Dobbs: "Americans must think that our political
and academic elites have gone utterly mad at a time when three-and-a-half
years, approaching four years after September 11, we still don't have border
security. And this group of elites is talking about not defending our borders,
finally, but rather creating new ones. It's astonishing."
-
- Romans: "The theory here is that we are stronger
together, three countries in one, rather than alone."
-
- Dobbs: "Well, it's a- it's a mind-boggling concept."
-
- It is also official, as one can see just from consulting
the relevant websites. It is not something we "conspiracy kooks"
made up. We are moving-in overdrive-towards a state of affairs that will
effectively end what little is left of the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution
and the idea of limited government to a state of affairs in which Americans
will answer to unelected supra-national bureaucrats-possibly without even
realizing it!
-
- We may add to all of this the Free Trade Area of the
Americas (FTAA), which has not gone away but been temporarily shifted to
the back burner. This latter may be due to the adverse publicity following
the obvious strong-arm tactics the Bush Administration used to get CAFTA
passed in the House last summer. The FTAA has fallen on apparent hard times,
with the dissolution of the Fourth Summit of the Americas meeting in Argentina
amidst a chaos of dissent and protest. Protests also attended the meeting
that occurred in Canada four years ago. No one who studies these agreements
wants them except the super elite, who see themselves as getting even richer
from them. Its members have had setbacks before. They always eventually
regroup. The creation of a North American Community places them in a good
position to move forward nevertheless, following an agenda formulated by
Zbigniew Brzezenski in his book Between Two Ages, which became the bible
of David Rockefeller Sr.'s Trilateral Commission. Regional integration
under NAFTA has already created tribunals whose members see themselves
as having the authority to overrule U.S. court decisions.
-
- The long-term goal, of course, is a world government
that would subordinate all the affected peoples to an encirclement of regulatory
controls by internationalist bureaucrats, most likely under the auspices
of the United Nations whose sustainable development policies are carrying
forth the effort on the domestic front. Sustainable development, as Michael
Shaw recently showed in detail, is transforming communities all across
America, city by city, county by county, and steadily depriving individuals
of their private property rights and their mobility. Combine these two-international
policies aimed at dissolving entire nations and domestic ones dissolving
Constitutional liberties by stealth-and you have the incipient New World
Order. Expect it no later than 2010-unless, of course, we experience the
kind of economic meltdown described by Devvy Kidd in a recent two-part
article. [Must see video; Liberty or Sustainable Development]
-
- World government has, of course, been the goal of the
super elite from the start. It was the goal of the Round Table Groups created
with Cecil Rhodes; it has been the goal of the Fabian Society, which set
the entire English-speaking world on the road to socialism. It was the
goal of "Colonel" Edward Mandell House, who had written anonymously
(in Philip Dru: Administrator) of "socialism as dreamt of by Karl
Marx." House sat always at President Woodrow Wilson's side as he maneuvered
this country into what became World War I, and then went on to guide the
founding of the CFR.
-
- The UN's backers have always seen it as destined to emerge
as a world government. In 1962, the U.S. State Department commissioned
MIT Professor Lincoln Bloomfield to produce an essay entitled "A World
Effectively Controlled by the United Nations." This essay's Summary
opens with these words: "A world effectively controlled by the United
Nations is one in which 'world government' would come about through the
establishment of supranational institutions, characterized by mandatory
universal membership and some ability to employ physical force. Effective
control would thus entail a preponderance of political power in the hands
of a supranational organization rather than in individual national units,
and would assume the effective operation of a general disarmament agreement."
-
- Between Two Worlds spoke of an "emerging international
consciousness" and called for establishing a "community of the
developed nations" focusing particularly on Western Europe, Japan
and the United States. "This country's commitment to international
affairs on a global scale has been decided by history," Brzezenski
wrote. "It cannot be undone, and the only remaining relevant question
is what its form and goals will be." A few short years later, one-time
ambassador Richard Gartner (CFR) wrote of bringing about an "end run
around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece" in his oft-cited
"The Hard Road to World Order" in the CFR's flagship journal
Foreign Affairs (1974).
-
- Arguably, this movement went into overdrive during the
period 1992-93, which saw the rise of NAFTA, the emergence of sustainable
development, the election of the globalist Clinton Administration, and
much else besides. It has succeeded in globalizing the curricula in government
schools at all levels, from elementary grades to research universities,
so that internationalism is simply accepted and the Constitution (with
rare exceptions) is simply bypassed, except perhaps as a historical relic.
Whether President Bush will find some pretext to be done with it and institute
martial law (perhaps following an outbreak of bird flu and calling for
the quarantining of an entire city) remains to be seen. Domestic martial
law would make it much easier for the super elite to get what it wants
without putting up with the grass-roots scuffles it had to deal with over
CAFTA. It will enable them to coerce silence from the public and imprison
those who refuse to shut up. Admittedly most Americans are still too busy
watching football to pay much attention to this; but it is doubtful that
they are sufficiently conditioned for martial law. After all, Bush's approval
ratings are at an all-time low, and the number of people who don't trust
his consolidation of power at the federal level has been on the increase
especially since the Katrina debacle.
-
- Supposing we avoid martial law a few more years, will
America's masses go along with the dissolution of this country like a bunch
of sheep? They can do so by continuing to vote for Demopublicans. Or they
can put a stop to it by recognizing that something has gone seriously wrong,
waking up, and then getting behind a credible Independent candidate in
2008. It would be nice to see Independents elected to Congress in 2006,
but it's doubtful since such candidates ought to be building up their war
chests now, and I know of no cases. If America's masses continue mindlessly
voting for CFR-controlled Demopublicans, the agenda I have been describing
will continue apace.
-
- Be all this as it may, I do not think this agenda will
come to fruition. The New World Order world government will not fall into
place the way the super elite wants. Brzezenski notwithstanding, it won't
happen. Why not? It won't be protests in the streets that stop it. It won't
be a third party. What will stop it, if we do not, are the basic laws of
economics. Not even the super elite is powerful or wealthy enough to repeal
basic economics, which tells us that real wealth must be produced and not
borrowed against the future, and that not even governments can live indefinitely
beyond their means. The New World Order is being built up on an unsustainable
mountain of debt. One day this mountain must collapse like a house of cards.
Much of the prosperity we claim for ourselves now is bogus-as imaginary
as were the futures of the dot-com millionaires of the late 1990s who have
since gone bankrupt. The reason for this last: the late 1990s were not
years of real productivity but of massive credit expansion, which means
easy money-all of it borrowed. Real jobs were disappearing; public education,
pursuing the School-To-Work and Workforce Investment agendas, was circling
the drain.
-
- When entire economic systems pursue paths of reckless
borrowing, eventually someone must pay. Today's debts have reached unpayable
levels, and as Devvy Kidd argued in the article referenced above, the edifice
is getting increasingly wobbly. Its collapse is not a matter of if, but
when. Of course, super elite control over the "global economy"
will have done enough damage to plunge much of the world into a depression
that will make the 1930s look like a bad dream by comparison. So here are
a few things one ought to do if one is capable: (1) homeschool your children;
(2) do not live in a "sustainable" community; get out of the
controlled urban environment; (3) buy precious metals, whose value will
go up as the value of our fiat dollar goes down; (4) store a supply of
food, water, vitamins, toiletries, batteries and battery-powered equipment
capable of lasting at least half a year; (5) learn to grow vegetables;
(6) learn to use firearms for protection against the looters and thugs
that will doubtless roam the land following infrastructural collapse-just
picture the entire continent looking like New Orleans following Hurricane
Katrina minus the flood waters, and you get the idea.
-
- I would think anyone with functioning brain cells would
be motivated to see to it that this scenario never happens. Whether its
possibility will actually sink into the consciousness of today's public
remains questionable, however; even its portrayal in a made-for-TV movie
on a major network where millions could tune in would be lost in the spate
of disaster films we've seen this fall. Hopefully, some of those currently
being homeschooled will keep the idea of Constitutionally limited government
alive, as we continue the struggle to alert more and more Americans that
the country they grew up in is slowly being erased.
