The Council on Foreign Relations has published a report which articulates the plan to subvert the Constitution by dissolving our nation in favor of a
continental government.
What we hope to accomplish by 2010 is a common external tariff which
will mean that goods can move easily across the border. We want a common
security perimeter around all of North America, so as to ease the travel of people within North America.
a section of a transcript discussing the report:
We made a number of important recommendations, I think. The key one is to think in terms of a security perimeter surrounding a zone of security. We make the point that it is important for all three governments to commit themselves to security within that zone, thereby alleviating some of the need to try to build barriers at our mutual borders. That implies a great many things. It implies greater cooperation between our security and intelligence agencies, exchange of information, assistance in keeping track of persons who may be security risks. It implies that we understand the nature of the goods and people that are coming into the continent. With respect to goods, it means cooperation with respect to the inspection of goods coming from overseas.
- the three governments should strive toward a situation in which a terrorist trying to penetrate our borders will have an equally hard time doing so, no matter which country he elects to enter first.
- The three countries should develop a secure North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers. This document would allow its bearers expedited passage through customs, immigration, and airport security throughout the region. The program would be modeled on the U.S.-Canadian “NEXUS” and the U.S.-Mexican “SENTRI” programs, which provide “smart cards” to allow swifter passage to those who pose no risk. Only those who voluntarily seek, receive, and pay the costs for a security clearance would obtain a Border Pass. The pass would be accepted at all border points within North America as a complement to, but not a replacement for, national identity documents or passports.
- Harmonize entry screening and tracking procedures for people, goods, and vessels (including integration of name-based and biometric watch lists);
- Fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals
- Jointly inspect container traffic entering North American ports, building on
the Container Security Initiative.
- Expand border infrastructure.
- Expand NORAD into a multiservice Defense Command[...]that would
expand the principle of Canadian-U.S. joint command to land and naval as well as air forces engaged in defending the approaches to North America.
- Law enforcement
cooperation should be expanded from its current levels through the exchange of
liaison teams and better use of automated systems for tracking, storing, and
disseminating timely intelligence. This should be done immediately. In the area of military cooperation, collaboration can proceed more slowly, specially between U.S. and Mexican militaries. However, the ultimate goal needs to be the timely sharing of accurate information and intelligence and higher levels of cooperation.
- Intensify Mexican efforts to accelerate its economic development.
- Enhance the capacity of the North American Development Bank:NADBank was conceived to support environmental infrastructure
projects within 100 kilometers on both sides of the Mexican-U.S. border. After a slow start, NADBank has done important work over recent years, and its mandate has been expanded recently to cover 300 kilometers into Mexico. However, to achieve its full potential, the U.S. and Mexican governments should (1) expand NADBank’s mandate to include other infrastructure sectors, particularly transportation; (2) permit it to access domestic capital markets and apply credit enhancement tools; (3) support the establishment of revolving funds through both grants and soft loans throughout its jurisdiction; and (4) strengthen its technical assistance programs to promote good governance and creditworthiness of communities and public utilities. Finally, NADBank’s internal procedures and the process of project certification should be reformed in order to allow for a significantly faster and more transparent deployment of funds.
the United States to focus not on the defense of our own borders, but rather create what effectively would be a common border that includes Mexico and Canada.
Well, it's a -- it's a mind-boggling concept
open a history book and don't just read the words for a change
people who are TOO POWERFUL inevitably are turned to the dark side.
because you get a report from the CFR.

Hey, howabout you open a freaking history book alright? Don't tell me that I've never studied any of this because of your own ignorance.

Yeah, 'dark side' real dark, getting countries to work together on common issues, how absolutely horrible.
And how dare the CFR, an independant Non-Governmental group express an opinion, study a situation, and offer solutions. Where do they get off right?
because you get a report from the CFR.
And you got the report from the CFR too, its publically available on their website. Excuse me for bothering to read the very document that was under discussion, and then, egads, discussing it.

While this kind of nonsense is being talked about, the Border Patrol is directed to do very little, the borders are pourous as can be,
and illegal aliens are everywhere.
Can anyone guess why the government might allow a crisis to build, or even foster its developement?
ROMANS: That's the view in a report called "Building a North American Community." It envisions a common border around the U.S., Mexico and Canada in just five years, a border pass for residents of the three countries, and a freer flow of goods and people.

That book is a fictional novel, not a political declaration. Also, what would dru's intentions matter? He and everyone he knows has been dead for a long time, and the people associated with the CFR are hardly all socialists and democrats.

Yes, they are novels. Not the charters of secret cabals. The guy who was part of the formation of the CFR may have been a socialist, but whats that matter? The CFR is not what anyone today would call a socialist organization.

and, i'd like to try and make people realise, that far left socialism(communist totalitarianism) and far right fascism(capitalist totalitarianism) are practically the same thing to the guy on the street

No, whats it about?

I agree with that idea entirely, the two extremes are so far to the oppositte ends of the political spectrum that they practically come full circle and are the same thing.
But I don't think people are saying that this guy was an extremist no? They are saying he was a socialist, not a radical anarcho-communist and the like. That he was the right hand man of Wilson, who was big on the League of Nations and what not. That doesn't mean that the CFR is working for internationalist communists and the like.
from one of the search results. a book review......
"The book is really most interesting for its hoax effect and for its demonstration of the odd convergence of Far Left and Far Right. It's an amusing curio, but not much more. It offers definitive proof that, as H. L. Mencken said (or nearly said) : no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."
