Twenty years ago President, Bill Clinton, enacted the NAFTA, North American Free Trade Agreement. NAFTA eliminated most tariffs on trade between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Its stated purpose was to encourage free trade and economic activity between the three nations. NAFTA created the world’s largest trade area, linking 450 million people producing 17 trillion dollars worth of goods and services.
Although we hear little about NAFTA from the main stream media these days, the idea of uniting the 3 countries of North America still exists and is being pursued academically and politically.
Recently, General David Patreaus, former CIA director, gave a policy speech before the Margaret Thatcher Conference on Liberty, answering the question,” After America What?” His answer, “After America, there is North America.”
In his speech, Petraeus proclaimed the coming of the “North American decade,” a vision he explained founded on the idea of putting together the economies of the United States, Canada and Mexico, 20 years after the creation of NAFTA.
After describing , what he calls current “revolutions” in the economies of the three nations, Petreaus stated, “The forces unleashed by these countries being as highly integrated as they are, with Canada and Mexico being our two top trading partners, I believe we can argue that after America comes North America,” Petraeus explained.
General Petraeus teaches a course at the City University of New York entitled “The Coming North American Decade(s). The course syllabus includes the following: “This seminar will seek to answer the question, ‘Are we on the threshold of the new North American decade(s)?
According to a WND article by Jerome R. Corsi, the assigned reading specified in the course syllabus shows Petraeus has derived much of his thinking from global economic sources in trying to project the future of North America.
Interestingly, in a speech at the Mexican border on June 28th, in response to the crisis of unaccompanied children pouring across the border, California Democrat, Nancy Pelosi referred to the Mexican-American border as a “community with a border going through it.” Additionally, she called the emergency an “opportunity”, not a crisis.
The above instances reveal the attitudes of some DC insiders concerning unity between the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Since the 1994 implementation of NAFTA, each successive US President has sought to deepen the “ties that bind” the three nations together, possibly adding the Central and South American nations, into a North American Union which would resemble the European Union.
Much of the negotiations concerning future, expanded trade agreements such as the controversial TPP, Trans Pacific partnership, are shrouded in secrecy due to opposition by citizens of the involved nations.
Secretive organizations such as the Tri-lateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderbergs, are thought to be instrumental in development of controversial policies like NAFTA and TPP.
The late Admiral Chester Ward, a longtime CFR, Council on Foreign Relations member, became one of its most notable critics.
According to Adm. Ward, the goal of the CFR’s leaders is the “submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government.”
The Bible book of Revelation predicts the formation of a powerful “One World Government” ruled by the Biblical “Anti-Christ’, prior to the return of Jesus Christ in Kingly power. The North American Union may be but one piece of the puzzle in this coming new world order.
