Brush up on your Spanish. That's the word from author Jerome Corsi, a Harvard-educated historian who has carefully documented a movement at the highest levels of our government to build a North American Union modeled on the European Union. If this sounds like paranoia, you should read this book. Dr. Corsi meticulously documents the beginnings of the European Union with the shadowy shenanigans of unelected elitists who had a vision of a new future largely unsuspected by the people of Europe. The plan is first to promote the economic integration of the three countries of North America, a.k.a. a common market, and then impose a political superstructure with a common outer perimeter, harmonized regulations, and a multinational bureaucracy and system of tribunals. Dr. Corsi explains the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which started with a press release issued by President Bush in Waco, Texas in 2005. We later found that its purpose is being implemented by secretive "working groups" in the Commerce Department without bothering to consult the people whose lives will be most affected. Multinational corporations intent on maximizing profits are likely to have a much stronger say in the workings of the SPP than the American people or even Congress. While Dr. Corsi is extremely concerned about the course these events are taking, he is no defeatist. He believes that a committed effort by voters can turn the tide. His "to-do" list includes defunding the three-country working groups set up under SPP. Then, we should renegotiate trade agreements that give unfair trade benefits to our competitors while discriminating against U.S. producers and products. We should also discipline ourselves so that we do not gorge ourselves on cheap imports produced by slave labor in China. The question is, do we want the United States to continue as an independent country responsible to our own citizens, or do we want to be integrated into a North American Union subject to multinational bureaucrats? The clock is ticking. (World Net Daily Books, 2007, 194 pp., $25.95) |
He then details the eerie parallels in the United States, where globalist organizations, such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, are working overtime to create the same sort of structure for the United States, Canada and Mexico. Both these organizations have a long history of focusing on international issues father than the domestic concerns of everyday Americans.
