NORTH AMERICAN UNION FORMING? COULD BE

There's a quiet panic among certain folks across America currently. They're convinced that the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), a treaty signed by the leaders of Canada, the US and Mexico, means the eventual destruction of the USA as we know it and the institution of a continental government that is less than a democracy.

But will it really do that?

Now, there's not a lot of mainstream press on the SPP or a possible NAU. The paranoia among the paranoid stems from the fact that the EU began with similar pacts of economic partnerships. And, to be sure, I share their concern based on the small amount of reading I've done. The way I and others like me have predicted the events over the past 7 years is frightening, but we were right and we are right, so I say we should be worried here. Hell, just the lack of mainstream news coverage on this thing is enough to cause concern.

When they don't cover something big like this, you know it's because it's bad (think the lack of Iraq WMD).

Is there a smoking gun?

No, not yet, but trends are trends. The dollar is at it's weakest since like 1981, according to something I read earlier today. A co-worker friend of mine who pointed me in this direction earlier today said that he had heard a radio interview with a guy (he couldn't remember the name, but I'm guessing it was Jerome Corsi, author of an alarmist book about this very topic) who had suggested that the dollar's drop was being orchestrated on purpose so that we'd have no choice but to accept a new continental currency. In an interview with Alex Koppelman [http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/07/16/jerome_corsi/print.html|available] at Salon.com, Jerome Corsi (who also wrote a book about how John Kerry sucks) describes this new currency as our answer to the Euro.

Of course, Corsi's not spouting anything new. The Dr. Jekyl to his Mr. Hyde is a fellow called Robert Pastor who wrote a book called "Toward a North American Community" that spins this same story in a positive way.

Now, we're at the end of what I know as fact about this whole thing. There are all sorts of other stuff out there about this, including a bizarre tales of a 12-lane highway stretching from Mexico to Canada and a general loss of sovereignty.

What do I think?

I don't believe anything specific will happen, but I do have a theoretical, probable path this will all go if left unchecked:

1) The SPP will lay ground work for a more friendly economy between our three countries.

2) A few more treaty-type things will pop-up that make it easier for businesses to do their thing across North American borders.

3) Proposals get put forth for a new currency to help undo the damage an absurdly weak USD is doing to the world (and North American) economy.

4) Can't have a currency without some new type of country-esque structure to umbrella over everything, so they'll put forward a new NAU constitution, that, like the EU constitution that was being shopped around will include clauses that allow it's provisions to trump each country's laws in certain cases--mostly financial/economic ones.

5) The constitution will be passed by Congress because they're all ready bought and paid for by big business.

6) The WTO/World Bank/IMF either merge or are replaced by a mothership-style umbrella group that will govern all of the planet with the NAU, the EU, the Russian Federation, the African Union (already exists) and the SAU (South American Union, also already exists).

This would be what many call "The New World Order" (GASP! I SAID IT! snicker! Of course, that's just my 2 yen, which isn't worth very much these days--even compared to the weak-ass USD ^_^ .
