Father of North American Community concedes dream 'is dead'

Father of North American Community concedes dream \

The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America is dead, says Robert A. Pastor, the American University professor who for more than a decade has been a major proponent of building a North American Community.

"The new president will probably discard the SPP," Pastor wrote in an article titled "The Future of North America," published in the current July/August issue of the Council on Foreign Relations magazine Foreign Affairs.

The SPP, which critics contend is a step toward a North American Union, is an agreement to increase cooperation on security and economic issues signed by the leaders of the U.S., Mexico and Canada in 2005. Despite having no authorization from Congress, the Bush administration launched extensive working-group activity to implement the agreement.

If the SPP was the route towards a NAU, do you think it really is over? Or, what other ways might they try to make the NAU a reality?

Nothing is over until the fat lady sings
and I would think this is a ploy to make people forget about it.
but everyone with any sense knows the NAU will not come to America
unless America was somehow on its last leg where the people felt desperate.
I submit we are heading into that stage of events now .

I am with you on this one. I think it is an attempt to get people to forget about the plans they are working on. I also agree that the NAU won't be ushered in until America is on the brink of collapse, which at the current rate things are moving, won't be long. It all feels very manipulated and manufactured if you ask me.

Good catch on this article! You beat me to posting it by about a hour or so. Starred and flagged.

Do I think their dream is really over? Not by a long shot. I think this avenue of implementation is now a dead end, however. As the article correctly points out, I think the "flying below the radar" approach simply aroused too many suspicions on both sides of the political spectrum. Opposition by either the right or the left would have been manageable, but opposition by the right and the left simply provided too many wide ranging obstacles to be overcome.

So then, how do they move the agenda forward? I suspect we're watching the NAU end-game unfold in the guise of the current US financial crisis, vis-à-vis the US dollar. I have a hard time buying into the notion that Bernanke, Paulson and crew are the bumbling keystone cops of the financial world that they're being portrayed as. If, as many suspect, the US dollar is headed for collapse, I don't believe it will be an accident, but rather a part of the long term goal of a unified North American currency. In my opinion, we're seeing the old 'create a crisis, offer a solution' addage being played out. With all three North American economies already so closely linked, if we were to see a crisis of that proportion, I highly doubt we'd see much opposition to the "solution", no matter how unpalatable it might be under normal circumstances.

I highly doubt that it will be called the "Amero" however. That name would simply provide too big of a "Ah ha! I told you so" moment for the SPP/NAU conspiracy "nuts". But in the end, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's the Amero by another name.

Once the common currency is firmly in place, the other barriers can be brought down slowly, over time. With the single largest hurdle out of the way, it would really be just a matter of some political maneouvering and voila - welcome to the NAU.

But then maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist...

This is ATS afterall
