- In November, 2004, President Bush told Canada's then
Prime Minister Paul Martin, "It's good to be home." Exactly what
did he mean? Was he inferring that America has been integrated into Canada's
system of government? Was this "code language" to reveal to
a group of insiders that Canada's queen is the Queen of the United States?
-
- Let's take a look at what we know about our relationship
with Canada. They have become America's largest trading partner-surpassing
our trade with Japan. On a daily basis the volume is over $1B or about
$400B a year. Twenty-three percent of American exports are sent to Canada
and more than 80% of Canada's exports come to us. They are the largest
export market for 39 of the 50 states. We import 80% of Canada's wood,
paper, and pulp and 17% of their oil and 18% of their natural gas. Furthermore,
we not only share energy grids all across the northern borders, but New
England obtains most of their power from Quebec.
-
- Financially, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange owns 30% of the
London Stock Exchange and there are plans to erase the barriers between
the Canadian and American stock exchanges. Recently the U.S. adopted the
UK style of securities regulation. The currencies between Canada, the U.S.
and Mexico are becoming one. This new currency, the Amero, will be the
common currency for this hemisphere.
-
- From a military standpoint, over the past 46 years, America
has been inextricably linked to Canada through our joint military efforts
through the North American Aerospace Defense Command-NORAD. On September
11, 2001, it was a Canadian general who was holding the chair at NORAD
and who gave the order to initiate our defenses. As a result, more than
200 commercial planes were diverted to airports across the U.S. and from
coast to coast. Since then both countries have implemented measures to
strengthen military cooperation as well as law enforcement and intelligence
agencies. In 2002, the two countries established the Bi-national Planning
Group to develop joint plans for maritime and land defense and for military
support to civil authorities in times of emergency. There are plans to
move ahead with a common ballistic missile defense system.
-
- Under the new partnership called "Common Security,
Common Prosperity, A New Partnership in North America", the U.S. and
Canada, will cooperate to expand business opportunities, protect the environment,
improve intelligence-sharing and cross-border law enforcement, counter-terrorism,
increase critical infrastructure such as transportation, energy, and communications
networks, and renew the NORAD agreement. In addition there are plans to
cooperate on clean air and clean water initiatives, especially in the Great
Lakes Region.
-
- In June 2007, the Financial Times reported that Bush
is going to back a treaty to "tackle one of the most contentious issues
in relations between the two countries by allowing Britain to buy defense
products from American companies without having to obtain export licenses.
[T]he treaty would represent a victory for the UK prime minister who has
lobbied George W. Bush over this long-standing disagreement between the
two." Currently only Canada has a waiver! Do we see the integration
of our countries yet? Therefore in order to ask if the Queen of Canada
will become the Queen of America, we need to take a look at Canada's political
structure. While it appears to be like ours, it is not. There is an executive
level which we do not have which consists of the queen, the queen's representative
and her Privy Council.
-
- According to Wikipedia, Canada is a parliamentary democracy
and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state
and queen of Canada with a federal system of parliamentary government.
The Canadian Constitution, renamed the Constitution Act of 1867 in 1982,
states that Canada's constitution is "similar in principle to that
of the UK" and divides the powers between the federal and provincial
governments. The governmental structure is made up of the Executive Branch
which is comprised of: the Executive (the Queen), the Governor General,
the queen's representative in Canada who formally appoints the prime minister
and their cabinet; the Queen's Privy Council, the Prime Minister and the
Cabinet; the Legislature and the Judiciary. You can see that the Queen
has her own Council which is over the rest of the government!
-
- Wikipedia states that The Privy Council is the council
of advisers to the Queen of Canada whose members are appointed by the Governor
General of Canada for life on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Prime
Minister and his Cabinet are all sworn into the Queen's Privy Council for
Canada and become MINISTERS OF THE CROWN.
-
- The Queen's Privy Council for Canada was established
by the British North America Act and is modeled after Britain's Privy Council.
The formal authority of the council is vested in the Canadian Monarch
but is exercised by the Prime Minister and the Canadian Cabinet who make
up a minority of the Council's members. Every member of the Privy Council
declares an oath to the queen which in part is,
-
- I [name] do solemnly and sincerely swear that I shall
be a true and faithful servant to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second,
as a member of Her Majesty's Privy Council for Canada. Generally, in all
things I shall do as a faithful and true servant ought to do for Her Majesty.
-
- The Queen is represented in Canada by the Governor General
which she appoints on the advice of the Prime Minister. Every Canadian
Providence has a Lieutenant Governor who represents the queen there. Upon
taking office, the Governor General takes an Oath of Allegiance:
-
- I [name] do swear that I will be faithful and bear true
allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her Heirs and successors,
according to law. So Help me God.
-
- The Governor General's functions are primarily ceremonial.
As representative of the Sovereign, the Governor General performs some
of the functions normally associated with heads of state. He or she makes
state visits abroad, hosts foreign heads of state, receives ambassadors
and high commissioners, meets ceremonial groups, and awards medals, decorations
and prizes. He or she serves the symbolic role as the Commander-in-Chief
of Canadian Forces and fills this position in the name of the queen. The
Armed Forces of Canada swear allegiance to the Canadian Crown and not to
the sitting and transient government.
-
- The Governor General and the Lieutenant Governors are
also representatives of "The Crown". The concept of the Crown
took form under the feudal system, evolving from various concepts of kingship.
Under England's feudal system, all rights and privileges were ultimately
granted by the ruler. The rights of the Crown are exercised by the Queen's
representatives in her various realms and dominions. It is the queen who
is the Commander in Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces. The queen through
the Governor General also has the power to dissolve parliament.
-
- The Queen's official title is "Elizabeth the Second
by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms
and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith."
When the queen ascended the throne, there was discussion as to her official
title, then Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent said, "Her Majesty is
now Queen of Canada but she is the Queen of Canada because she is the Queen
of the United KingdomSIt is not a separate office." Furthermore, the
style, "Queen of Canada" is included in the Oath of Allegiance,
as well as the Oath of Citizenship. While the prime minister is considered
head of government, it is the queen who is head of state.
-
- If the governmental structure of Canada is like that
of the UK, we need to consider the ties Canada has with England. In November
2004 when Bush declared it was "good to be home", he pledged
the following:
-
- My country is determined to work as far as possible within
the framework of international organizations and we're hoping that other
nations will work with us to make those institutions more relevant and
more effective in meeting the unique threats of our time.
-
- Was Bush talking about the Commonwealth, the United Nations
or both? If he was speaking about the Commonwealth, we need to understand
that the Commonwealth is a brilliant plan devised back in the 1920s by
the Royal Institute for International Affairs, which is financed by the
estate of Cecil Rhodes, to make it appear that the various colonies, territories
and dominions of the United Kingdom were given "independence"
and were totally free of British rule. However, that is not the real case.
Although they were given "independence," the British never left.
They just changed the structure of government to accommodate the sovereign
as head of state and not head of government. This historical feat was
accomplished through the Balfour Declaration in 1926 when Britain and its
dominions agreed they were
-
- equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another
in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by common
allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the British
Commonwealth of Nations.
-
- This was formalized by the Statute of Westminster in
1931. While colonies were given legislative independence, it automatically
set the basis for continuing the relationship through the Commonwealth
in which they share allegiance to the monarch! Pretty amazing.
-
- The Queen is not only Queen of Canada, but Queen of the
following Commonwealth countries in our hemisphere: Antigua and Barbuda;
The Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; Grenada; Guyana, Jamaica; For St Kitts and
Nevis: St. Christopher and Nevis; St. Lucia; and St. Vincent and the Grenadines
and Trinidad and Tobago.
-
- The Commonwealth today has 53 sovereign states with Queen
Elizabeth II as head of the Commonwealth. The Queen's position is recognized
by each state and as such is the symbol of the free association of the
organization's members. The 16 members where the queen is head of state
are called Commonwealth Realms. Decolonization started in 1931 with Canada,
South Africa and Australia; in the 1940s: India, New Zealand, and Sir Lanka;
in the 1950s: Ghana and Malaysia; In the 1960s: twenty more: Barbados,
Botswana, Cyprus, Gambia, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Malta,
Mauritius, Nauru, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Swaziland, Tanzania,
Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda and Zambia. During the 1970s, nine more: the
Bahamas, Bangladesh, Dominica, Fiji, Grenada, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea,
St. Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Samoa, Seychelles, Solomon
Islands, Tonga and Tuvalu. During the 1980s, seven more: Antigua and Barbuda,
Belize, Brunei, Maldives, Pakistan, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Vanuatu and
in the 1990s, three more: Cameroon, Mozambique and Namibia.
-
- As each country obtained independence, they received
a vote at the United Nations. Therefore, the Commonwealth has the potential
of 54 votes at the United Nations. Throughout the entire international
structure, the United States is OUTVOTED by the Commonwealth. In the Group
of Eight, Canada and the United Kingdom outvote the U.S. While the U.S.
has 50 states, we only receive one vote at the United Nations! Furthermore
in this hemisphere there are 13 Commonwealth countries that swear allegiance
to the queen.
-
- While the Commonwealth bills itself as a free and voluntary
association, several years ago, I separately interviewed three representatives
from three different African countries. When I asked why they don't go
to Britain for help, they said there was no help from them. When I asked
why they don't withdraw from the Commonwealth, they each looked at me with
terror and said they could not.
-
- We Americans would be extremely naive if we thought that
Britain was a good loser over the outcome of the American Revolution and
the Battle of New Orleans in 1812. As explained in a previous article,
"Treason in the Congress", there is a very, very powerful group
of men whose money runs the world both here in Britain and the U.S. These
Pilgrims swear allegiance to the Crown and have been working since 1902
and 1903 respectively to bring America back under British rule. While
it appears Senator Charles Schumer is a Pilgrim, maybe we need to ask if
our president, who is distantly related to the queen, is also a Pilgrim.
It appears he does not swear allegiance to the Constitution! Perhaps
NAFTA was the beginning of a bloodless coup and the Common Security and
Prosperity Partnership sealed the merger between the U.S., Canada, and
Britain. Just maybe the Queen of Canada is indeed the Queen of the United
States! It is time for TRUE AMERICANS TO WAKE UP!
