I’m going to start with off with something entirely docile, NASCO. It’s North American’s SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc. and is in their own words “… a non-profit organization dedicated to developing the world’s first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America.”
Okay, so that ranks as the strangest non-profit idea I have ever seen. It also makes me wonder how you become a non-profit incorporation when you’re meddling with systems in three different countries. I would presume this is an awfully complex problem. Further, you have to wonder where they get funding from. I don’t know where it all comes from, but we do know this from their ‘About’ page:
NASCO has received $2.5 million in earmarks from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for the development of a technology and tracking project. The project will have a team approach, using members of NASCO as the primary participants in the project, to the extent possible. NASCO believes the deployment of a modern information system will reduce the cost, improve the efficiency, reduce trade-related congestion, and enhance security of cross-border and corridor information, trade and traffic.
The emphasis is mine, not theirs.
Those that fear a global government have been harping on this project for a while it seems, and I have generally wrote it off. It’s just a road system for crying out loud! What possible harm can come from it, aside from abusing eminent domain to make it happen for the sole benefit other countries?
Around 8:00pm today everything finally made sense. I had all the hypotheses from other thinking people in my head, but actually seeing the map today made it all click.
Look, NAFTA was paperwork. It busted down trade barrier walls but didn’t generally affect most people. I know from personal experience that Canadian steel products became very cost effective for us in America, but I gather that the US populace as a whole didn’t notice much.
This SuperCorridor is actually real. It is happening. It is something you’ll actually be able to reach out and touch, if not only with the rubber wheels on your vehicle. It’s a symbol of what I, and many others, see happening.
After NAFTA we got the EU in 1992 which is still being expanded.
After the EU there was CAFTA which puts the US into free trade with a number of Central American countries and the Dominican Republic.
Now, all these treaties are doing is setting laws for international trade between agreeing members. What could possibly go wrong?
I present to you, right from the United States Constitution the Interstate Commerce Clause:
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes
In the USA that clause means that the Federal government can require you to sign for Sudafed when you buy it. That means that they can regulate what guns you can purchase. That also lets them throw you in the slammer if you grow a plant in your backyard and use it for yourself. See US v Reich for proof.
Hell, the reason your state is enforcing seat-belt laws is because of the interstate commerce clause. The Federal government gives the State back some money for their highway system, but they mandate that said State must have mandatory seat-belt laws.
If that doesn’t exemplify the level of fine grained control that a government will exercise over it’s population in the name of commerce I don’t know what does.
If you can regulate commerce then you can regulate anything. More importantly you can control anything which is why the “tracking” abilities of NASCO make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up a bit.
The thinking goes that once enough of these multi-nation trade unions are established one only has to unite these entities to effectively create a global government. What happens with NAFTA, CAFTA, and the EU agree on something? We all have to abide by it. Just as when the USA agrees to something that means my home state of Michigan, by proxy, agrees to it.
I admit, I might be out in “tin-foil hat land” but consider the past. One is hard pressed to find a law in this country post 1930′s that doesn’t relate to the interstate commerce clause. It has been abused and contorted in a myriad of ways to restrict our freedoms all in the name of protecting commerce.
You might think I’m crazy but if you think that a body of politicians won’t abuse their ability to control international commerce just as they have done here in the USA, land of the free, under the guise of inter-state commerce then I’m forced to question your sanity.
In all honestly I don’t think there is anything we can do to stop this from happening. There aren’t enough people paying attention which means the US will just continue down the same path. Our politicians will set us out, we’ll suffer, and a handful of people here in the country will understand what actually happened.
I’m open to ideas, but I’m afraid this post will only amount to an “I told you so!” in the far future.
