Natfa Super Highway Facts Part 6

NASCO
For more than 13 years NASCO and its members have stood at the forefront of driving public and private sectors to unite to address
strategically critical national and international trade, transportation, security and environmental issues.

THE CHALLENGE

Economists predict U.S. bound international containerized cargo will increase 350% by 2020. United States, Mexico, and Canadian
exports to one another and the world are at an all time high.

We are literally facing a trade tsunami and U.S., Mexico, and Canadian infrastructure is unable to handle the burden.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Pessimists view this as an impending crisis. NASCO views these challenges as a valuable opportunity for economic development,
job creation, and to improve the overall trade competitiveness of the United States, Mexico and Canada in the global marketplace.

THE SOLUTION

NASCO’s purpose is to boost economic development activity by supporting:

Multi-modal (rail, truck, ships, air cargo) infrastructure improvements
Technology and security innovations on existing infrastructure to improve security and efficiency
Enhanced visibility, security, and accountability of supply chains critical to every day life
Environmental projects to preserve quality of life and allow for future growth
Strengthened security in cross-border trade flows

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

The critically important role transportation and trade play in our every day lives and in our nations’ economies is dramatically
undervalued and underappreciated. Critics are attempting to exploit this misunderstanding to disrupt federal, state, and local
projects aimed at propelling our communities and countries forward. These critics attempt to falsely portray NASCO as anything
other than what it is: an effective and necessary advocate for efficient, secure and environmentally conscious trade and t
ransportation.

We have updated our website to clearly articulate the purpose and objectives that have defined, and always will define, our
organization.

Wayne Madsen Report

New Transportation Secretary Mary Peters to ensure Bush crime family super-highway projects proceed unimpeded.

Sept. 8/9/10, 2006 -- George W. Bush's pick for Transportation Secretary represents a major conflict-of-interest designed to spur the construction of the Trans-Texas Corridor -- a project in which Bush and his cronies are heavily invested. Last week, Bush nominated Mary Peters to replace Norman Mineta as Secretary of Transportation. Unlike Mineta, a former congressman who then became a Vice President fo the aerospace defense giant Lockheed Martin, Peters comes out of the surface transportation industry. She is a vice president for the engineering firm HDR and co-vice chairman of the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. From 2001 to 2005, Peters was the head of the Federal Highway Administration. Peters is also a former head of the Arizona Department of Transportation. Peters worked in the administration of disgraced GOP Governor Fife Symington, who was convicted of bank fraud and resigned from office. (Symington was later pardoned by his college friend, President Bill Clinton).

Peters' commitment to major "infrastructure development" of the nation's highways centers on the development of the North American SuperCorridor (NASCO) highway, of which the Tran-Texas Corridor will be a major component. Already, Bush crime syndicate cronies, including interests tied to Texas Governor Rick Perry, are purchasing property along the proposed Texas highway route at cut-rate prices, using "eminent domain" statutes to pay less than what private and commercial property is worth. The money for the massive land grab is coming from Saudi and Chinese sources, according to knowledgeable sources in Texas. The NASCO highway will cross 11 states: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. It will also connect proposed Mexican super ports in Manzanillo, Mazatlan, and Lazaro Cardenas to various United States trucking and distribution super-hubs in San Antonio, Dallas, Kansas City, as well as one in Winnipeg in Canada. The Mexican ports will be receiving points for manufactured products from China. The theft of the Mexican presidency by conservative Felipe Calderon at the expense of populist leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was engineered to protect the sizeable investments the Bush crime cartel, including The Carlyle Group, and their Saudi and Chinese financiers have already sunk into the project.

Eventually, NASCO will be expanded as far south as Argentina by linking North America to Central America (Mexico-Central American Corridor and an improved Pan American Highway). The expensive tolls charged throughout the 10-lane super-highway system will be used to line the pockets of the Bush family well into the middle of the 21st century. Peters, as a highway and trucking industry shill, has been entrusted by the Bush crime cartel to ensure that the plans for NASCO and the Pan American Super Corridor proceed unimpeded. It is estimated that as many as 1 million Texans alone, many in rural and poor urban areas, could be displaced by the Trans-Texas Corridor.

CANADA
North American Union or NAU is indeed being very discreetly implemented under SPP and it remains to be seen on which side
of the 49th a more vocal opposition will emerge, however, now that construction of the NAFTA Super Highway -a 10-lane
monstrosity linking Monterrey to Winnipeg- has begun on the TCC or 'Trans-Texas Corridor', I suspect that American nationalists
will be the first to protest.

Here's a map: http://www.nascocorridor.com/

In Canada, NAU was originally supported by the Liberals (John Manley) and is now being fostered by the Conservatives (Stockwell
Day). Recently, officials from all three countries (Mexico/Canada/US) met in Banff this past September albeit in secrecy. Why?
Because there's A LOT MORE on the table than just transportation or trade issues. Allow me to illuminate.

For those of you who 'missed it', NORAD no longer exists.

Control of what was once sovereign Canadian airspace under a bi-national and 'shared' command was effectively dissolved in
October 02' by the creation of USNORTHCOM. Under this new command, Cheyenne mountain is being mothballed and operations
of what used to be NORAD have been transferred to what is refered to as N2C2.

Asisde from North American aerospace, USNORTHCOM also fully intends to take control of all North American sea lanes and
approaches out to 500 miles which may seem a little confusing for a command structure based in Colorado, however, once one
notices that the commander of USNORTHCOM is an Admiral, the strategy makes sense.

Ahh but what about the land component you ask?

Meet America's newest command - USARNORTH: http://www.arnorth.army.mil established to 'protect the American people and
their way of life'.

And where might we find USARNORTH? How about Ft. Sam Houston where low and behold... construction of the NAFTA
Superhighway has begun.

May/June 2007

Is a superhighway shaping the economic and political future of Canada? That’s what Richard D. Vogel argues in the cover story
of the current issue of Canadian Dimension. We also celebrate May Day with articles on “women’s” work (by Bernadette
Wagner) and human trafficking (by Amardeep Kaur Gill) in our second-annual feature, Labour Activists who are Changing the
World, and we get the dirt on Canadian mining companies operating in Guatemala and Honduras.

~~~
Bush's unpublicized project that's going to make a lot of people really angry.
Close your eyes, please. Picture a big map of the US. Now look at a massive new highway running north/south through the
center of the country, four football fields wide. Isn't that 400 yards? Equals 1200 feet? Which is almost a quarter of a mile
or half a kilometer?

You can open your eyes now and see where the highway goes.

It's a little like a tree with its roots in Mexico, two major roots running north and northeast to Laredo. Once past Laredo and
into south Texas, it charges straight north, 400 yards wide, to Kansas City. There it splits, one branch running through Chicago
and Detroit to Toronto and Montreal, the other branch running northwest through Omaha and Fargo to Winnipeg and then to
the west coast of Canada.

It's no bike path. It's new NAFTA highway.

Once complete, the new road will allow containers from the Far East to enter the United States through the Mexican
port of Lazaro Cardenas, bypassing the Longshoreman’s Union in the process. The Mexican trucks, without the
involvement of the Teamsters Union, will drive on what will be the nation’s most modern highway straight into the heart
of America. The Mexican trucks will cross border in FAST lanes, checked only electronically by the new “SENTRI”
system. The first customs stop will be a Mexican customs office in Kansas City, their new Smart Port complex, a facility
being built for Mexico at a cost of $3 million to the U.S. taxpayers in Kansas City.

You think I'm kidding? The project has been on the hotplate here in Texas for a couple of years with protesters trying to stop it.
They can't.

As incredible as this plan may seem to some readers, the first Trans-Texas Corridor segment of the NAFTA Super Highway
is ready to begin construction next year. Various U.S. government agencies, dozens of state agencies, and scores of private
NGOs (non-governmental organizations) have been working behind the scenes to create the NAFTA Super Highway, despite
the lack of comment on the plan by President Bush. The American public is largely asleep to this key piece of the coming
“North American Union” that government planners in the new trilateral region of United States, Canada and Mexico are
about to drive into reality.

You haven't heard about it? Maybe that's because the plan includes a lot of politically very unpopular features. For starters, it will
have a huge and very negative environmental impact, starting with the farm and ranchland seized in order to have 400 yards of
asphalt and pollution, not even taking into account the service industries growing up along the length of it. Then there's the matter
of bypassing union labor. Oh, and the open border it requires at both ends -- that should send some Minute Men into convulsions.
And no "robust debate." No way.

Missing in the move toward creating a North American Union is the robust public debate that preceded the decision to form
the European Union. All this may be for calculated political reasons on the part of the Bush Administration. A good reason
Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for
Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any
U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.

For more on this quiet blockbuster of a project yet to hit the mainstream media,
you'll need to check out the article at Human Events, a conservative journal.

The Mother of All Bureaucracies-NASCO

By Nancy Thomson

It isn't possible to have a Mother of All Highways unless there is an equivalent organization to back it up. Voila, we have the
North America's Superhighway Coalition, Inc. (NASCO)

In the past it was our American companies going international overseas, the UN, IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the
World Bank that were frittering away our money for use in the far reaches of the globe. With the introduction of NASCO the US
has become its own global target. We are internationalizing ourselves!

According to their own pubic relation's release, NASCO is a multi-state, international non-profit corporation. Their board of
directors successfully lobbied Congress to create and provide funds for the International Trade Corridors "(ITC) This included
$7oo million in Contract Authority under the new federal highway bill... the Transportation Equity Act (TEA 21) Again lobbying
Congress successfully, NASCO was able to get almost $350 million for special projects along the Corridor. Highways I-36 and
I-29 were named as "high priority corridors" under the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 and (TEA-21)"

Did Mexico and Canada also lobby their governments for money to build this colossal rite of passage for imports?

Many of our national highways will start charging tolls and we will have to pay to travel on our own roads. These additional fees
will be added to the International Highway coffers along with federal, state, and "private"(Chinese?) funding. The manufacturing
of many high line products have left US shores and transplanted themselves in slave labor China. We now import goods from the
Chinese that were originally made in the USA. This accounts for the $60 billion dollar trade deficit with this communist country.
Importing to us is the most important way to fund their military and this NAFTA trade Corridor will increase their access
exponentially.

Why shouldn't the Chinese donate to a cause that increases their income, allots some control of the project, and furthers the
US economic downslide?

The membership of this trade organization is a conglomeration of US cities, counties, and states, Canadian cities and provinces,
many Chamber's of Commerce, and private sector businesses such as the Ambassador Bridge at the international border crossing
of Detroit and Windsor. Coalition leadership has passed to Oklahoma State Majority Whip, Keith Leftwich, and a Democrat who
wrote the resolution authorizing his states' membership in NASCO.

Leftwich hopes to add new funding for trade corridors, and increased research for technology in dealing with increased traffic
demands. He also wants creation of International Trade Processing Centers (ITPCS) to manage trade flow, and a "clean corridor"
to reduce congestion. Links to local, state, and provincial economies along the corridor will be encouraged.

The three NAFTA nations mid-continent corridor will be intermodal trade, and the goal is to facilitate movement of people (illegal
aliens?) and goods. NASCO will increase the "public private partnerships"(this means international control of everything) They
will "explore strategic alliances with other corridor coalitions."

This veiled language doesn't fool anyone who knows the government's trade agenda of incorporating all of this hemisphere and
Africa into NAFTA. These added areas would become the "strategic partners mentioned for other coalitions.

Buried among all the hype about The International Trade Corridor (ITC) is language that indicates this system will function is a
variety of regulatory ways.

It will support government trade agencies. Will this support include NAFTA, GATT and the WTO?
ITC will aid in state government's enforcement of safety and environmental laws.
The collection of TAXES, TOLLS and USER FEES will be enforced by the states and the ITC.
TC system will insure "citizens" that state and federal agencies HAVE THE MEANS of enforcement for safety,
environmental and that taxes, fees , and tolls are being fairly assessed and collected.

Getting local people and officials in the Corridor areas all involved is key to implementing the program. Locals have all sorts of
traffic problems they want solved by using federal funds. .A good example of this is Austin Texas and the surrounding territory.
Traffic congestion abounds on the I-35, and the cost of alleviating the situation by building a bypass would cost $1 billion dollars.
NAFTA supporters have always considered I-35 as the preliminary super highway for goods from Mexico coming into the US.
This of course, is the explanation for the traffic overflow.

A Texas delegation wants Congress to create "an international trade corridor" and make Texas eligible for hundreds of millions
of dollars. This internationalizing transportation is a new money source! Texas gets the money and the internationalists working
in conjunction with Washington have a hook in another state's transportation structure.

A state study, which would officially accept NASCO'S own 1995 version of the Superhighway and this, would unite state and
Coalition projects. Public meetings will be held in major Texas cities this March.

In April, 1994, Denton County Judge Jeff Moseley founded the eight - state coalition.

His coalition employs three Washington lobbyists to pressure Congress on behalf of the Corridor cause. How could anyone
question an enterprise in which a judge becomes a leader?

The arrogance of officials involved in spending of taxpayer's money is nowhere more evident than in the statements of Jim
Francis, the coalition's strategic advisor. NASCO'S study identified $5.5 billion for 1-35 long term, He stated that the Interstate
29 interlocking road that heads north to Winnipeg Canada could have major improvements by spending" several hundred million
dollars" in the next five years.

But , Francis said," But it is more then just getting money for 1-35 It's getting Congress to recognize funds for trade corridors
over and beyond the various state funds."

Major heartland points represented in the NAFTA trade route are Winnipeg Canada, Iowa. Kansas

City Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, and Detroit/ Windsor. Officials in all these areas are looking forward to globalization increasing
their income in the marketplace. Our industries are disappearing so there is less and less to export. We have a $ 3 hundred billion
dollar trade deficit even without this trade corridor. How short sighted these Americans in their push to establish US subsidized
markets for foreign countries. They are so easily led by false crusaders of globalism.

Quebec seeks free-trade deals with Ontario, EU

also reiterated his proposal to seek a free-trade deal with the European Union.

Quebec seeks free-trade deals with Ontario, EU

RHÉAL SÉGUIN

May 10, 2007

QUEBEC — Quebec’s minority government will seek a free-trade agreement with Ontario as part
of Premier Jean Charest’s attempt to revive the province’s economy and regain popular support
after March’s disappointing election result for his Liberal government.

In the inaugural speech outlining the priorities of the province’s first minority government in more
than a century, Mr. Charest also reiterated his proposal to seek a free-trade deal with the
European Union.

"We are in the process of building an interconnection with Ontario in order to export more
electricity to our neighbours," the Premier said. "We will draw inspiration from this connection to
lift the barriers that still hamper trade between us. We will propose that Ontario enter into a
free-trade agreement with Quebec."

The deal would be similar to the one signed between Alberta and British Columbia that
eliminated trade barriers between the two provinces, a Charest aide said.

At the same time, Mr. Charest hopes to persuade businesses and other political leaders to rally
"behind our proposal for a new economic partnership with the European Union."

He is pushing economic development as the focus of his new mandate in an attempt
to overcome voter dissatisfaction after the Liberals’ worst electoral performance to date. In
the March 26 election, the party got just 33 per cent of the vote and won 48 of the 125 ridings.
The setback was in part due to the Liberals’ failure to meet a 2003 campaign promise to cut
taxes by $1-billion a year.

In his inaugural speech yesterday, Mr. Charest warned that he will defy the opposition parties’
objections to his latest promise to cut taxes.

The Liberals plan to take advantage of the upheaval in the Parti Québécois, sparked by the
sudden resignation on Tuesday of leader André Boisclair, to push through a promise to use
new federal funds to cut taxes by $950-million.

Yesterday, newly elected PQ interim leader François Gendron said that a tax cut is not a good
idea, but the PQ may have no choice but to support it.

"What is certain is that voters do not want to go into another election this June," he said.

Mr. Charest is gambling that the PQ will eventually vote in favour of the tax cut to forestall
another election.

Responding to what he believes is voter demand for a more right-wing agenda, Mr. Charest
also promised to open the door to more private clinics and lift the freeze on university tuition.

The speech contained few bold initiatives, prompting Official Opposition Leader Mario Dumont
to say that the Liberals adopted many of the proposals of his Action Démocratique du Québec.

"It seems Mr. Charest stole ingredients from the ADQ buffet and it shows he has no clear recipe
in his head, no clear vision for Quebec," Mr. Dumont said.

Mr. Charest’s minority government also promised to respond to voter concerns about the
"reasonable accommodation" of certain religious groups.

Voter backlash on this issue cost the Liberals votes and boosted support for the ADQ, which
denounced the demands of some minorities.

Mr. Charest emphasized the need to strike a balance between accommodating religious
minorities and protecting Quebec’s identity and values.

"To be born in Quebec is a blessing, to immigrate to Quebec is a privilege. Integrating
immigrants is a responsibility. It is a reciprocal gesture," Mr. Charest said in arguing that
immigrants need to embrace Quebec values, such as the equality between men and women.

One of the more popular initiatives announced yesterday is a bill to limit access to semi-automatic
guns. Dubbed the Anastasia bill in memory of Anastasia De Sousa, who was killed in a shooting
rampage at Montreal’s Dawson College last September, the bill could require gun owners to
store semi-automatic guns in special facilities at designated firing ranges.


My feeling is that if Quebec wants full integration with the EU then it's probably better if they
are a country quite removed from Canada if at all possible. I also have my doubts if there is
such a thing as a 'free' trade deal with the European Union. As others have said though it's
quite possible the EU don't really give a flying f--k about having another free trade deal with
Canada or other parts of Canada.

It occurred to me that this is just more trolling-agit prop bullshit put out by the anarchist-punk
types so they can snicker up their sleeves at us just like that bullshit story about the NAFTA
superhighway from Mexico over the US to Winnipeg. Fcuken brilliant assholes. However the
fact that a moron like Jean Charest in control of a whole province of Canada thinks this is a
good idea is cause for alarm. Does this assclown know anything?
