Don't follow Europe's lead.(THE LAST WORD)
The internationalists within the Bush administration continue their plan to follow the lead of the European Union and entangle all nations of the Western Hemisphere into a similar regional government. Understanding the trap into which 27 nations in Europe have already fallen can help to prevent what is planned here.
In 2002, speaking on behalf of the leaders of NAFTA's three nations, Mexico's President Vicente Fox stated as a goal the establishment in the entire Western Hemisphere of "an ensemble of connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union." With President Bush and Canada's Prime Minister Martin, Fox helped to initiate the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) in 2005. Yet when asked about the SPP, spokesmen for each man insisted that it was merely a measure to improve trade relations.
In their 2003 expose of the process that has overcome independence for Europe's nations, The Great Deception: The Secret History of the European Union, British authors Christopher Booker and Richard North laid bare the early strategy urged by Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak. Known as Europe's "Mr. Socialist," Spaak told his fellow plotters that they should "disguise" their ultimate political purpose and "conceal it behind a pretense that it was concerned only with economic cooperation based on dismantling trade barriers."
The Spaak plan succeeded. Beginning in 1951, the drive to control Europe via a single government progressed from the six-nation Coal and Steel Community, to the Common Market, to the European Economic Community, and, finally, to the current European Union. All the while, the people of the once-sovereign nations were told that benefiting trade was the goal. Many are now awakening to the fact that promises of increased trade amounted to poisoned bait on a barbed hook. Mike Nattrass, Deputy Leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party, stated in 2004: "The EU was sold to the British people as 'a trading agreement' and has turned into a 'Political Union' which is changing our basic laws and traditions." He is far from alone in arriving at such a conclusion.
As the EU's screws began to tighten, leaders of the 25 nations hammered out a constitution that states quite bluntly: "This Constitution ... shall have primacy over the law of Member States." The document even contains numerous passages expressing subservience to the United Nations. Sent back to each of the ...
