The Quebec Summit: Global Restructuring of the Americas
By Joel Skousen
Last weekend’s Summit of the Americas in Canada
took on an ominous tone of seriousness. It is the third in a series of talks
that are destined to increase in frequency until long range NWO objectives for
diminished national sovereignty are met. American and Canadian globalist leaders
are pushing to forge an EU-style regional government in the Americas, and US
President George W. Bush is right in the thick of it--following in his fathers
NWO footsteps. The conference was hosted by leftist Canadian Prime Minister Jean
Chretien--a personal friend of Bill Clinton and a committed globalist of the
most servile kind.
All of the speeches intended for public consumption stressed the benefits of free
trade and prosperity, but none of that counts for much, in real-life terms.
Its the control agenda being forged behind closed doors that really
matters. The big players, the US and Canada, have brought with them special
teams of globalist lawyers with pre-prepared drafts of the new Free Trade
Area of the Americas (FTAA). Remember this acronym--youll be
hearing much more about this in the future. Bush is already seeking fast
track authority to put this control agenda in place, which proves he is a
knowing participant in this portion of the NWO plan. Fast track authority gives
the president and his bureaucrats the power to clinch separate agreements with
each country during negotiations without coming back to Congress for debate--a
very dangerous precedent. Congress only choice is to accept or reject the final
package.
Each of the Third World nations present is also accompanied by advisors and
lawyers, but of a different variety. In contrast to the US and Canada, they are
in Quebec to lobby for special treatment and exceptions to the uniform
control agenda being outlined by US trade representative Robert B. Zoellick
and his CFR-trained team. Each of these developing nations is struggling with
problems of economy- draining socialism, massive indebtedness to the IMF, and
indigenous Marxist revolutionaries threatening their very political survival.
NAFTA (precursor to the new, broader FTAA) had many complex side agreements
which provided for special exceptions for certain countries to the general
controls enacted. These have been a constant source of discord, especially as
many of these agreements or codicils were kept secret. In Canada, for example,
the individual Provincial leaders originally insisted on special language to
protect local industries within each province from competition. But their own
national government deceived them during the NAFTA ratification process. During
negotiations the Provincial leaders were led to believe that their reservations
to NAFTA had been accepted, but unbeknownst to them, the specific wording in
each Provincial leaders portfolio was changed on the copies they actually
signed. One of the top level secretaries, Shelley Ann Clark (executive
assistant to Germain Denis, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's personal appointee
to the NAFTA negotiations), blew the whistle on this affair. Subsequently, the
Canadian government had the original NAFTA agreement locked up for reasons of
national security and it is not currently available for inspection even
to the Provincial leaders who signed it.
