<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">From <a href="http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/06/08/DeepIntegrate/"><em>The Plan to Disappear Canada</em></a> by Murray Dobbin, “If the machinations going on in this country regarding so-called &#8220;deep integration&#8221; were instead a communist conspiracy to take over the country (you will, of course, have to try hard to imagine this) the news media would be blaring the story. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Pundits would pontificate, editorialists would erupt, security forces would be unleashed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Instead, a virtual conspiracy to make the country disappear through assimilation into the U.S. gets barely a mention.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">But news of the scheme &#8212; formally called the <a href="http://www.spp.gov/" target="_blank">Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)</a> &#8212; is finally breaking out of the secret chambers of the ruling elite and the federal government. This is both good news and bad. It&#8217;s good that ordinary citizens are finally getting a glimpse of the betrayal of their country. The news is bad because it reflects just how much of this scheme is already being implemented. “</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Mr. Dobbin goes on to summarize the main points of the arrangements in the works.<span> </span>Our government claims the agreement is still ‘informal’ (White House spokesman Tony Snow called the NAU a ’<a href="http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/006693.html">myth</a>’), but <a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/PropagandaBuster.html">others insist</a> it was signed without our approval on <a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/is/Archive/2005/Mar/23-209281.html">March 23, 2005</a> in Waco, Texas by President George W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and Mexican President Vicente Fox.<span> </span>From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pastor">Robert Pastor</a> at the <a href="http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_final.pdf">CFR,</a> “The main recommendation of the Task Force is the creation, by 2010 at the latest, of a North American security and economic community whose boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter&#8221;.<span> </span>Indeed, over 300 agencies are already ‘harmonizing’ regulations of such things as energy, taxes, tariffs, and pesticides, many of which were originally part of NAFTA and are now being ‘fast-tracked’ by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_and_Prosperity_Partnership_of_North_America">SPP initiative</a>.<span> </span>Even a trilateral <a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&amp;y=2007&amp;m=June&amp;x=20070608184507JMnamdeirF0.3027918">open skies</a> initiative has been discussed.<span> </span>(Incidentally, the US and the EU are also <a href="http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&amp;y=2007&amp;m=April&amp;x=20070430185112MVyelwarC0.5934107">‘harmonizing’ regulations</a>.)<span> </span><a href="http://www.irc-online.org/americaspolicy/am/4276">Security</a> concerns have always topped the list of justifications for integration. At least one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBmFrYWPoG8">NAFTA superhighway</a> is also in the works (with new <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2006/260706rfidcard.htm">RFID tracking</a> technology), even though fourteen states have petitioned Congress to abandon the SPP.<span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt"><a href="http://thetyee.ca/News/2006/10/12/Forum/">Secretive summits</a> have been held as critics declare an elitist corporate agenda works out the details of their scheme away from prying eyes.<span> </span>Indeed they may have good reason: outspoken critics include <a href="http://www.augustreview.com/news_commentary/north_american_union/lou_dobbs_slams_north_american_union_2007040654/">Lou Dobbs</a>, <a href="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst103006.htm">Rep. Ron Paul</a>, <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53947">Rep. Virgil Good (R-Va)</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uyWiGQ_tgM">Connie Fogal</a> of the <a href="http://www.canadianactionparty.ca/media.html">Canadian Action Party</a>, and there are <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56264">plans to protest</a> the next meeting of the SPP on August 21-22nd in Montebello, Quebec.<span> </span>Opponents from both <a href="http://www.vivelecanada.ca/staticpages/index.php/ribbon">Canada</a> and <a href="http://www.stopthenau.org/">the US</a> are up in arms over the potential loss of <a href="http://www.aim.org/aim_report/5517_0_4_0_C/">sovereignty</a>.<span> </span><a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/NAUArticles.html">Others</a> go further, claiming the plans are an act of treason or sedition.<span> </span>At least two other recent acts, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007(<a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?tab=summary&amp;bill=h109-5122">NDAA</a>), which gives the President dictatorial powers in the case of ‘public emergency’, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Commissions_Act">Military Commissions Act</a> which suspended habeas corpus in 2006, have been linked to the plans by some opponents.<span> </span>For more information, <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&amp;code=VIV20061220&amp;articleId=4216">here</a> is a timeline of the events leading up to <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CRA205A.html">deep integration</a>, <a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/ProLinks.html">those organizations</a> working to support the plan, and <a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/AntiLinks.html">those</a> fighting against it.<span> </span><a href="http://www.spectrezine.org/NorthAmerica/hillard.htm">Pierre Hillard</a> also provides a substantial overview, as does Dr. Jerome R. Corsi in his book, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Late-Great-U-S-Coming-Merger/dp/0979045142">The Late Great USA</a></em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 9pt">Proponents insist there are no plans to undermine the US Constitution or create a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amero">unified currency</a>, but <a href="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=21128">others maintain</a> these issues will likely be addressed eventually, and probably already have been behind closed doors.<span> </span><span> </span>Immigration will certainly play a major role in the decision-making process; some wonder if the issue is being used as a <a href="http://777denny.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/is-the-immigration-debate-a-diversion-for-a-north-american-union/">diversion</a>, or a “<a href="http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/PropagandaBuster.html">mechanism</a> for achieving the globalists’ NAU goal”.<span> </span>From <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55787">WorldNetDaily.com</a>, “WASHINGTON &#8212; The controversial <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Immigration_Reform_Act_of_2007">&#8216;Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007</a>,&#8217; which would grant millions of illegal aliens the right to stay in the U.S. under certain conditions, contains provisions for the acceleration of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a plan for North American economic and defense integration, WND has learned.&#8221;<span> </span>Attaching such an emotional and controversial issue to the globalization agenda is a cleverly sinister way to achieve their eventual goals of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_%28conspiracy%29">New World Order</a>.</span></p>
