SPP Summit Hangover –
The North American Union Agenda Continues

The Security and Prosperity Partnership summit has come and
gone, and for many it was the first time they had heard of the
SPP or a North American Union. Some in the Canadian media did
expose the SPP's lack of transparency, while others continue to
downplay its importance. Awareness and opposition in Canada is
at an all time high, and we must ensure that this issue remains
at the forefront. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is at a disadvantage
with a minority government, therefore it remains in his best interest
to keep the SPP process as secretive as possible. This may be
increasingly more difficult to do as it has seen the light of
day. Just as the Free Trade Agreement was the defining issue in
the 1988 Federal election, the SPP could make or break Harper
and the Conservatives. Unfortunately, little would change under
a Liberal government as it was then former Prime Minister Paul
Martin who first agreed to the SPP initiative. Although some of
the names have changed, the agenda remains the same.
We are living in the first stages of a NAU, and the police state
images from the summit were disturbing. We can expect more of
the same if we don't defeat this evil. The scenes were reminiscent
of a fascist tyrannical state with police in riot gear and checkpoints
everywhere. Intimidation was used to try and quell dissent, and
as a result many were discouraged from protesting and exercising
their right to free speech. Just as some had warned of the possibility
of provocateurs, including myself, it appears as if a video on
You Tube lays proof to this claim. It shows a small crowd of mostly
middle-aged peaceful protesters holding a line and exposing some
anarchist as possible provocateurs. One of the so called anarchists
had a rock in his hand, and there can be little doubt that his
intentions were to provoke an incident. CEP union president Dave
Coles is the one at the center of the video and said, “I
accused them of being police, and every time I yelled at them
that they were police, you could tell by their facial expressions
that they were really troubled.” If a riot or other violence
would have occurred, at that point police would have had their
excuse to move in break up all protests and begin arresting and
beating up the demonstrators. Some of the other anarchists also
began pointing out three individuals as police. What was Harper's
response to all the protests? “I've heard it's nothing,”
and he went on to say, “A couple hundred? It's sad.”
There were also protests and rallies held all across Canada, and
you can be sure that the next time demonstrations will be even
bigger. What's really sad, Stephen, is how this whole traitorous
process has been kept a secret, and how Canadians have been lied
to by you and other elected officials.

With the SPP summit being held in Canada and the media frenzy
it created, it forced the Liberals to break their silence on this
issue. They released their blueprint for the SPP. After almost
eight months as leader, and now Stephane Dion is suddenly concerned
about Canadian sovereignty and bulk water exports. It was hardly
convincing, and his criticism of the Harper government is hypocritical,
since it was his own party who began this process over three years
ago. Some of the faces have changed, but the goal of a NAU continues.
The SPP hasn't missed a beat under the Harper government, and
in regards to its agenda, it was an almost seamless transition.
Harper follows in the line of other Prime Ministers like Mulroney,
Chretien, and Martin, who have all played their part in selling
out Canada. Under a Liberal government, nothing would really change.
The SPP is the framework in which a NAU is being created, and
it is the bureaucrats along with working groups who are making
it happen. There is no mistake about the fact that it is being
driven by the corporate elite. Bob Marlow of the Council of Canadians,
said, “This is not about security for people, social security,
security for the poor, environmental security. This is about security
for big corporations for North America.” It was reported
that the multinational business agenda would be a driving force
at the summit. A NAU will only further deepen deregulation, undermine
labor rights, and lead to the privatization of our social programs
and natural resources. It is the final push in the corporate takeover
of North America. Those who support this agenda because they think
that it is purely economic integration are misinformed. They need
to look at the example of the European Union and how it was created.
Like a drunk who has went on a two-day bender, I woke up the
other day with an SPP hangover. Hundreds of articles were written
in the last week, and for the first time some key issues and concerns
did see the light of day. There has been a rash of letters to
the editor warning of the dangers of the SPP and a NAU. The dam
has broken, and even those attempting to pooh-pooh this whole
agenda have been forced to break their silence. Those in the alternative
media and bloggers alike must keep the NAU front and center. At
the closing press conference in Montebello, Bush dismissed the
NAU and called it a conspiracy theory. Harper talked about a common
jellybean for all of North America. It appears as if the strategy
is to further downplay, spin, and deny its very existence, continuing
to ridicule and intimidate those who believe that a NAU is being
created. Hopefully we can build upon this new momentum and continue
to wakeup and educate the public to the horrors of a NAU.
We might not know the specifics of what was discussed at the
SPP summit, but what we do know is that it still remains a threat
to our sovereignty. This greed-driven corporate agenda will further
shape our lives politically, economically, socially, and environmentally.
Just the fact that it is clouded in secrecy should be enough to
serve as a warning. Those exposing the NAU are often accused of
fear- mongering by the very same people who are doing likewise
with terrorism and now global warming. If anything, I understate
things, and I know that they are far worse than I or others report.
The enemies of freedom, sovereignty, and national independence
are many, but by defeating the North American Union, it will go
a long way in trying to reverse the destructive cycle of globalization.
