A DONE DEAL: FREE TRADE AREAS OF THE AMERICAS

I remember the morning in 1994 well. I was having a
cup of coffee and reading The Washington Times when my eyes saw a very
small obscure article that said Jack Kemp wanted a common currency for all
of the countries of the Western Hemisphere. I gasped and said, "What!!!" The
article vaguely referenced the historic summit in Miami called the
Free Trade Areas of the Americas which called for the integration of all of
the countries of this hemisphere.
After a couple of phone calls and obtaining a few documents, I realized that
the Clinton Administration was putting together a regional free trade zone
that would not only expand NAFTA but would basically look like the European
Union. In 1998 I went down to Santiago, Chile where I covered the second
FTAA meeting. There the Clinton Administration handed out a report called,
Words into Deeds" which explained that every cabinet level secretary had
been meeting with his or her counterparts from the other 33 countries of
this hemisphere since 1994. Furthermore, "Words into Deeds" was an
explanation of how the integration between the 34 countries would take place
by 2005.
The closing ceremony constituted the signing of a document by the presidents
and prime ministers which affirmed the new integrated arrangement between
our countries. Shivers went through my body as I realized this was a new
Hemispheric Constitution." Returning home, I had a plane change in Miami and
purchased all of the English speaking newspapers I could. Guess what? Not
one of them reported what the FTAA was or what it would do and how it would
change all of the political, economic, social and environmental dynamics
between all of the developed countries (US and Canada) and the other lesser
developed countries. Furthermore, it covered up the real agenda by
discussing what Bush has now obtained, "trade promotion authority" whereby
the president could bypass Congress (given to him by Congress) and make any
trade agreement that would benefit the U.S. economically without additional
Congressional affirmation.
In 2002, I covered the third FTAA meeting in Quebec and saw the 34
presidents and prime ministers of this hemisphere sign another "Hemispheric
Constitution" reaffirming their pledge to merge all of our countries into
this new trade zone. Guess what? Not one word by the mainstream press.
The protestors in Miami who have been protesting the FTAA are part and
parcel of the choreography to inform the American people that they have been
had. Their Constitution is no longer valid because the greater interest is
the political and economic integration of this hemisphere. This is already a
fait accompli. The protestors are basically paid to protest so that they
become the excuse for the established press to tell you that we no longer
function SOLEY as the United States of America but are now part of a greater
unit, the Free Trade Areas of the Americas.
What will this mean? Well, all you have to do is pay attention to what is
happening in Europe to see the pattern for what will take place here in the
U.S. Already you know that truck drivers from Mexico and below no longer
have to conform to all of the regulations that American truck drivers have
to adhere to. You should know that all of the environmental regulation that
American companies have to adhere to will not apply to the lesser developed
companies from south of the border, thus giving them economic advantage over
American corporations. Furthermore, there will be an integration of our
currencies. Does that scare anyone? Think of it..the dollar is going to be
integrated with the Chilean, Brazilian and Mexican peso. What does that
mean? Well, the dollar must drop (which it is in the process of doing) in
order for those currencies to appreciate so that there can be a new parity.
What do these countries have that we in America could want besides cheap
labor that is already affecting the worker class in America? Drugs? What
American farmers don't understand is that Latin America needs to export
something to America and we need to export somethingto them so that we can
have "free trade." Already, the inability of American farmers to sell their
tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables are making a severe impact on their
ability to continue farming. Furthermore, we have been told that the sad
condition of the Chesapeake Bay has accounted for the loss of the Maryland
crab industry. All you have to do is go to any good restaurant along the
shore or in Maryland and you will find that the crab now is coming from
Mexico or Chile. Furthermore, much of our fish is coming from Latin America
as well. You can believe the bad condition of the Chesapeake Bay or you can
perhaps determine that the U.S. has been busy transferring business to
Central and South America. Therefore, the reports that this is a hollow deal
are bogus for all of the juicy deals have already been made.
Furthermore, the FTAA has been set up as a public-private partnership. The
governments involved are: The Organization of American States (OAS), the
World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the UN Economic
Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The Governments are
the 34 countries and the private sector is the non-governmental
organizations and multinational corporations that are on board.
Lastly, in researching the structure of the FTAA, I realized that the
beautiful granite and marble building two blocks from the White House called
the Organization of American States is a "congress" of all of the countries
of this hemisphere. They have already their own structure with the U.S.
sending representatives to represent us in their regional dealings. This is
not "hollow." President Bush recently held a joint press briefing with
British Prime Minister Tony Blair. When asked about Free Trade, Bush replied
"My administration is committed to free trade-the first administration in a
long time to achieve trade promotion authority from the Congress. And we're
using that to promote free trade agreements on a bilateral basis, on a
hemispheric basis."
Please note there has been no political and economic change between Clinton
and Bush. The Globalists are running the world and
you and I are pawns in the game.
