Part 3:
Connect the dots. Year 2010 is the target date of the
Canada/US/Mexico task force's planned North American
Union. Year 2010 is the year by which Canada will have
had a $54.5 billion total surplus over 5-6 years. How is
that "surplus" to be used? Not to restore the social
programs that our government pillaged to create the
surplus. It will be used to pay for the "architecture"
of the "paradigm" for cooperation, i.e. the North
American Union, or as they call it, the NAISP, The North
America Initiative for Security and Prosperity.
What is the effect of all the bad law outlined in
part 2 of this article?
It is the end of a nation. It is the end of decisions
by us over ourselves. It is a reduction of our standard
of living: a decline of the middle class, an increase in
poverty, homelessness, and destruction of our social
safety net. It is the militarization of the country. It
is the creation of a police state.
How can this be? How can our government enter into
these arrangements? Who exactly is doing it?
Parliament? Caucus? The PMO? We must embark on a massive
campaign demanding every MP reveal his/her role in this
treason. We must make each one of these agreements and
arrangements an election issue. The Canadian Action
party has already started its campaign to do so.
So how is it possible that our national status has
come to this sorry state.
Let's consider the practice of government in this
country. Canada has long suffered from an undemocratic
form of government. Our Prime Ministers and their
bureaucrat mandarins have always applied the defunct
Prerogative Right of Kings' principle to the exercise
of their power, and gotten away with it. The
Prerogative Right is the notion that not only do the
Prime Minister and his officials know best, and what is
right and good for all of us, but they have a God given
right to impose it on us.
How does this work in practice? As Paul Hellyer,
CAP's founding
How does this work in practice? As Paul Hellyer,
CAP's founding former leader, explained to an inquiring
member of the public in letter dated March 9, 1998: "The
decisions are not actually made in Caucus. In most
cases, they begin with the bureaucracy, although a few
policies actually originate in the Prime Minister's
Office or in Cabinet. But these are the exceptions.
Unfortunately, the parliamentary system is just used to
propagate the ideas presented by the bureaucracy to
parliament and to put them into force."
That was the case with the FTA and
NAFTA. The MPs did not read the agreements. They
just accepted the lies of the bureaucrats and signed.
Paul Hellyer spent his life as an elected MP. He knows
how the system works. And he admits that he, like all
the others, did not read the FTA and NAFTA before
ratifying them.
Why has this practice prevailed? It has because no
party has actively exposed it, nor actively challenged
it (except perhaps the original Reform Party).
What is so awful is the extent of the CEO's arrogant
expectation of success in the realization of their goal.
Where is the outrage by MPs? By other parties? By media?
Why the acquiescence? Those CEOs and military
strategists are aided and abetted by all those Members
of Parliament who are more than willing to delegate
power and influence to these un-elected, unaccountable
bodies.
Staring us in the eye are the powerful global forces
who are successfully controlling and directing our very
own governments against us. They are turning three
nations into an undemocratic continental force for two
purposes: 1. Externally-militarize us for their economic
world conquest; and, 2. Internally- creates a police
state to stifle dissent and prevent rebellion as they
take everything away from us.
How Dare They!
What has become the smokescreen justification for this
treason? Terrorism. What is the real reason? Greed and
money. If it was only a few individuals in power, not
our full government sanctioning the betrayal, a charge
of treason could be laid. But because the highest order
of our government is facilitating it, it is not treason.
It is not treason because the perpetrators say it is
not. There is no one in charge with the will or power
to face the betrayal and call it for what it is. Only
the losers in a battle are prosecuted.
For far too long in Canada, bureaucrats and
politicians under the undue influence of industry have
been betraying all of us. Bureaucrats move easily
between government and industry fulfilling the demands
and interests of corporations above that of the common
good of the state and its people. The concept of the
public interest, or the common good, or the commons no
longer exists in the bureaucracy, where once it was well
defined and understood and applied.
Following WW2, despite an interlude of attention to
the public good and the public interest and to world
peace, the greedy exploitive agenda of the financial/
industrial/ military leaders of most of the world
continued to lurk behind the scenes. They never really
went away. They just laid low and bided their time.
Meanwhile, the Western world developed a burgeoning
comfortable middle class as the leaders realized they
had to create systems that appeased the sacrifices made
by the people on the Front and at home. In Canada we
developed a successful mixed economy blending the
private and the public participation in our economy. The
private system was left to do what they could do well,
but it was recognized that some things they could not do
if the needs of all the people were to be met, like
housing the vets, like
Medicare and hospitalization.
Eventually as peace prevailed, life got better for
more and more of us. We relaxed our guard. We relaxed
our vigilance over our liberty. We took it for granted.
We trusted our politicians. Meanwhile, the greedy ones,
smouldering in the background, re-ignited. They made
their move by promoting globalization thereby cementing
an arena for their use and benefit at the expense of the
rest of us. Our politicians have been dupes at best,
conspirators at worst. Programs, regulations, practices
and procedures that made life good for the rest of us,
protected our well-being and nourished us, interfered
with their greed. And so, they moved- first by deception
and stealth, and now in open arrogance to take away our
benefits and enjoyment of a share of the world's
resources. The principle is no different than it ever
was under kings and mighty rulers--A few powerful taking
the resources of the world for themselves by war and/or
trickery and theft.
n post WW2 Canada developed some of the most
successful public programs paid for in large measure by
the use in our economy of our own
Bank of Canada. Our successful safety net came to
life making things pretty good for most of us.
Hospitalization, Medicare, public housing, public
education, publicly controlled energy utilities, and
transportation are good examples. And we created our own
public bank, the Bank of Canada, which reigned over the
hiatus of the good life enjoyed by Canadians. It was the
use of that bank that enabled Canadians to be creating a
very good place to live, free from the enslavement of
crippling debt. We could afford the good life then, and
we can afford it now.
We no longer have MPs or bureaucrats with the will to
act to protect and maintain a "prosperous and secure"
life for the people of Canada. They plan to focus to
make our territory more "prosperous and secure" for the
corporate return on the resources that belong to all
Canadians. Worse, they are no longer interested in a
sovereign democratic Canada. They are busy creating a
North American Union. We have to expose this.
Our federal government has racked up enormous
surpluses by slashing funding to people programs. They
continue to lie to us pretending there is insufficient
money to fund our needs. In the week of November 15,2005
the Liberals announced they had $10.2 billion to $12.5
billion of surplus money for the year 2005. In the year
2010 they expect to have $18.5 billion surplus. For the
6-year period between 2005 and 2010-11 they will have
had a $54.5 billion total surplus. (Source: Globe and
Mail, November 15, 2005).
The Globe and Mail referred to the Liberal budget
plan released November 15, 2005. The Globe and Mail
wrote: The Liberals also unveiled a multi-year plan for
growth and prosperity that's meant to serve as a
blueprint for improving Canada's competitiveness in
light of what Mr. Goodale calls "the profound reordering
of the global economy as new giants such as India and
China emerge".
Note the language congruence between the Liberal
"multi-year" "blueprint" for "growth and prosperity" and
the language within the various reports and agreements
and plans and laws to which I referred in part 2 of the
series of articles.
The June 2005 'Report of the Ministers to the
Leaders' referred to their task of creating an
"architecture" to effect the goals of the Leaders. The
goals of the Leaders (Fox, Martin, Bush) were set out in
their "Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement"
signed March 2005.
On the website of the Canadian Council of Chief
Executives (CCCE)
there is a report by them of their work through
2003-2004. The report is dated April 2004 but was posted
November 2, 2005 under "News and Information" under a
section called "North American Security and Prosperity".
It is called New Frontiers. Building a 21st century
Canada- United States Partnership in North America,
April 2004.
In the preface of that report Thomas P. d'Aquino,
President, and Chief Executive, along with Richard L.
George, Chairman, write, "While the Council's
fundamental vision for North America remains trilateral,
we believe that to be most effective in addressing some
of the key challenges facing our continent today. Canada
and the United States must take the lead in developing a
new 'paradigm' for cooperation, one that will increase
the security of our respective citizens and maximize the
ability of our countries to prosper in a world marked by
increasingly intense competition among developed and
developing countries."
In the introduction of the report, the CCCE
references the competition growing from China and India,
which the Liberal 2005 election blueprint mimics. The
CCCE wrote at page 2, "As emerging economies such as
China, India and Brazil move up the development curve,
they are growing in importance both as customers and as
fierce competitors in the service s well as
manufacturing sectors."
So, where will our money go that we do, in fact,
have? First and foremost it will go to create the
architecture of the new regime e.g. construction of
different border facilities, transportation and security
facilities in airports, highway, and ferry systems. Read
back through part 2 of my article and you will realize
the areas of expenditure to facilitate the goals. Match
the words in those agreements to the words of the
Liberal campaign "blueprint".
Further, out of that burgeoning surplus our
government will continue to bailout and further enrich
the banks by paying more and more money over to the
endless unnecessary growing debt arising out of the
failure to use our Bank of Canada. The Liberals and
Conservatives plan to give massive tax breaks to
corporations. They will spend on the arms industry as
Canada joins the US military machine.
None of this is what Canadians really want. But we
are not asked. And those who complain are ignored. There
is something very wrong with this picture.
The CCCE blueprint demands more deregulation and
privatization. The "40 point Smart Regulations Plan"
announced by our government March 2005 accommodates that
demand. See Part 2 of my series of articles on this
sabotage of Canada. The lie is that deregulation and
privatization will be good for all of us, a betterment
of the economy. In fact, they are the stripping off of
all the protections for the safety and health of
consumers. The legal and fiduciary duty of a private
corporation, its first priority, is to use its
investment to make a profit for its shareholders. The US
has just recently passed a law that removes the
liability of pharmaceutical companies for any harm to
consumers caused by the mandatory vaccinations the US is
planning. Canada will follow suit. How much more
Draconian can they get?
George Galloway, a British Member of Parliament
talked about the privatization of their railroads in an
interview by Thom Hartmann , May 26, 2005 on Air
America, AM620 KPOJ in Portland Oregon. Galloway said
this: "British Rail, which was owned by the state, which
was a nationalized railway, was probably the least loved
institution in the United Kingdom when Mrs. Thatcher
privatized it. Now, fully 80%, of the people of the
country (80, eight zero percent of the people of the
country) want the railway taken back into public
ownership, because they realize now that we're paying
three times the subsidy to the private owners of the
privatized railways that we were paying to the
nationalized railways, and we've got a dirtier, more
dangerous, and more expensive service as a result. It
takes longer now to go from London to Birmingham on the
train than it does to go from where I'm sitting in the
House of Commons to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and it's
only 110 miles from London to Birmingham. We've had a
whole series of railway disasters caused by people
cutting corners to save costs, to make more profits.
We've had delays that would make your hair stand on end;
people in the depths of winter being delayed 5, 7 hours
on railway journeys, and we have rolling stock which has
not improved since the public sector days. All that's
happening is that we're giving state subsidies to
private owners who are putting it in their pockets."
Privatization of any universal public needs is the
vehicle for the theft of our power and control over our
selves and our resources, and hence the theft of our
personal and political survival. In this country, the
cheap sell-off and /or actual demolition of fully
functional hospitals to and for private operations is an
example of the most outrageous abuse of the public
trust. As is the give-away of our hydro and gas
utilities. Those who perpetrate this kind of betrayal of
the public interest should be treated and punished as
the criminals they are. It is no excuse to change the
laws to permit it and then say it is legal. It is still
immoral, wrong and harmful to society.
But the situation is getting much worse. The global
regime run by a cabal of
financial/military/industrialists has no borders. It
needs to be able to move around the world for its
maximum profit and to avoid any countries that deign to
hold them accountable. It has had a great run
n the third world countries, but now wants control
over the economies of the developed world by way of the
trade agreements.
There is jockeying of control of areas of the world.
There is the European Union power block.
India/China/Russia is another emerging block. The point
of the US aggression in the Middle East is to keep that
rich area out of the Asian Russian block. There has to
be another big block to enhance the power of the North
American industrialist elite:- North American Union- NAU?(
NAISP)
However, there are cracks in the globalizers success
because people are not stupid. In the last 10 years the
anti-globalization movement of citizens has been
fighting back exposing the lies and hypocrisy and greed.
They created a massive peaceful resistance movement
using the tool of the Internet, and exercising their
democratic rights of dissent, peaceful assembly, and
freedom of movement. (This is why the US has passed a
law recently that spies on internet users and gives
police powers to restrict their use. Canada is following
suit with a similar bill before our House of Commons.)
Citizens rushed easily to the locations of the
international meetings to confront the globalizers.
Politicians of the hosting countries erected barriers to
separate the voice of the citizen protestors from the
ears and eyes of the globalizers. The citizens became a
real nuisance. In the EU they were responsible for
disseminating sufficient information to defeat the EU
constitution.
It was the worldwide citizens' movement that killed
the Multilateral Agreement on Investments (MAI). It was
the French politicians who finally read the stuff and
agreed with the citizens and ended up being the deciding
world voice that stopped the MAI in its tracks in
October of 1998. In the summer of 2005, it was public
pressure and an education process from the citizens'
movements in France and Holland who influenced those
people to vote NO on the European constitution. The
other EU countries were not given the vote on the issue.
Their political leaders listened to the bureaucrats, did
not read, and signed. From the public interest point of
view, that agreement was another economically crippling,
liberty stripping and
sovereignty killing arrangement.
Even though two world wars provided horrific lessons,
people do not learn well from history. Too often we do
not even know our history. As time passed it became
easier and easier for the greedy ones to weasel their
way back into the mind-set of too many politicians who
have forgotten or never knew their history. Like the
gambling industry that can out-wait the citizen
movements who successfully oppose the gambling expansion
for so long as the citizen movements can survive, at the
global level, the cabal of financial /military
/industrialists have waited out the global citizens
movement of opposition and resistance. But, the cabal is
not having an easy win. They are determined to seal the
cracks and to eliminate the opposition. What is their
new tool? Anti-terrorism. Who is their facilitator? Our
own government.
The answer to the irritating swarm of citizen
mosquitoes is real barriers! Laws that would really
prevent dissent. Laws that would stifle the capacity to
stop the train. The globalists have resurrected an old
bogeyman-fear, and his companion, security. Our
government via its bureaucracy tells us the bad guys are
around the corner or under the bed and are coming to get
us. They tell us the only way to be safe from this
threat is to strip ourselves naked, point the finger at
the brown skin, stop talking to each other, and submit
to leashes.
The recent rapidly produced anti-terrorism laws have
removed centuries-long legal rights and protections
under the guise of security. These laws are nothing more
than tools to enforce the globalist agenda. Let us be
very clear about this. They are creating a police state.
The tragedy of 9/11 was exploited to deliver suppression
of the constitutional rights of citizens. The US moved
first with its Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act.
England, Australia and Canada followed quickly. Our
politicians are hard at work with a complicit media to
convince us we need to give up our liberties just as the
citizens of the US have been forced to do.
The laws, the plans, agreements and arrangements
implement a regime that is unconstitutional,
undemocratic, and despotic; a process that consigns
centuries of justice and civil and human rights to the
trashcan.
We must embark on a massive campaign demanding every
MP reveal his/her role in this treason. We must make
each one of these agreements and arrangements an
election issue.
And what is CAP going to do about it? We are going
to mount the best campaign possible in the upcoming
federal election. We are going to do our best to run
candidates in every riding - committed informed
candidates who see the writing on the wall, who care,
and who will mount the barricades.
A public policy forum group operating out of Ottawa
interviewed me in September 2005. The interviewer
informed me they had recently learned from their polling
of Canadians that 3 out of 5 Canadians WANT MORE SAY IN
HOW THE COUNTRY RUNS. Big surprise, eh?
Our challenge is to be able to communicate that CAP
is a real alternative, a vehicle saved for the people to
use to assert and govern ourselves.
Of interest is that the North American Union plan has
no reference to any electoral government. They do not
need or want a democratic government. The North American
Union is not to be a system of, by, and for the people.
By the same token, for the people of Canada, United
States and Mexico, the political parties currently
function as patsies for the Chief Executive Officers of
the NAISP. The MPs are irrelevant for our needs UNLESS
we take back control of our nations.
We need Parliamentary reform, electoral reform, and
inner party reform to give the people democracy. In
Canada, The Canadian Action Party/parti action
Canadienne is a legitimate vehicle. It remains viable to
be used by citizens if they choose. A full slate of
principled Canadian patriot candidates would have an
impact. It is the only democratic route. We have a real
Canadian alternative party ----CAP/PAC
WE ARE CANADIAN!
