Prosperity promoted in closed-door Canada SPP event

The AP, always willing to act as a transcription service and not ask tough questions, offers:
Promoting prosperity topped the agenda at a gathering of U.S., Canadian and Mexican Cabinet leaders Friday, but immigration and the threat of terrorism also were key topics at the gathering.Rice didn't respond by accusing the "journalist" of being high, but she should have.
Nine foreign and security ministers from the North American nations met in Ottawa, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
The Security and Prosperity Partnership talks were a lead-up to a meeting of the countries' leaders this August in Canada.
The officials reviewed a 63-page report from the North American Competitiveness Council on how to streamline border crossings, harmonize regulatory standards and improve the supply and distribution of clean energy sources. They also discussed ways in which to deal with a global bird flu pandemic, natural disasters, organized crime and drug trafficking.
After a full day of closed-door meetings, the officials addressed joint news conferences and discussed security, illegal immigration and terrorism.
...Some critics believe the Bush administration has put too great an emphasis on border security and not enough on the economic alliance. A Mexican journalist told Rice that this was the growing perception in his country.
"I think that if you look at everything from NAFTA on, including our extensive trade relationships, our extensive economic relationships, you can see that the United States and Mexico have been deeply concerned about one another's prosperity," she said. "But as the president has said, ultimately when one talks, for instance, about the issues of immigration, we want very much to see a Mexico in which Mexicans can find work and can take care of their families in Mexico."
..."I have to say it's very, very inspiring to see how vigorously President Calderon has moved, even in his brief term in office, to assert security controls when there are violations of the law," [Michael Chertoff] said.

Security that ensures the corporatists control of government. Prosperity for the corporation and the CEO. None for you and I. The end of the middle class, and hopes of a better life. No Apology is right. No debate. No public input. A government that is so corrupt it can only work in secret, unethically operating outside the rule of law, thwarting the concepts and ideals of our democracy, to accomplish its treasonous goals. The peoples of Europe have no say-so on their new constitution, neither will we. McCain/Kennedy have to "back door" the amnesty bill as a rider, in the dark of night, because the People reject and abhor the concept of rewarding crime. They will try every night to sneak it in, anyway they can. Watch these traitors like the snakes they are. Keep the spotlight on their dark plans constantly. Evil men hate the exposure and the truth.

All of this brings us to the question of why? Is there some agenda the government is concealing from the public. You bet there is. It's called the New World Order, The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, the SPP, in which our borders with Canada and Mexico will be nullified. Stripped of sovereignty, America will come under the rule of a collection of elites, who will take over our governance and our lives. Exactly as The European Union (which is being advanced in exactly the same way in Europe), is being perpetuated on the Europeans today. None of this has come to meaningful public debate, or forum or referendum. That's because it isn't being advanced as Law; rather, it is being instituted through such plans such as NAFTA, and a NAFTA Superhighway.
Big Brother. Oh, George Orwell, what prophecy.
