NAFTA--Trans Texas "Whoridor"--Mainlining Cheap Goods

[texastoast]

Texans whose homes lie in the path of the approved Trans Texas Corridor route will have them taken via eminent domain... for a private, foreign company named Cintra. TTC (Trans Texas Corridor) is a toll road being built, not for the benefit of Texans, but to be able to bring in cheap goods from Central America, China, etc, through ports in Mexico. TTC is merely one leg of the Nafta Superhighway that goes from the west side of Mexico up to Canada (see the link for Nafta Superhighway at left). Kansas City Smart Port plans to bypass American ports-trucks would come from Mexico, quickly pass via Smartpass through the Mexico/Texas border and be inspected.... in... Kansas City.

One other element of this. Bush, in 2005, signed a treaty with Mexico and Canada to create a North American Union called SPP. Don't recall Congress advising and consenting to that treaty which effectively guts the sovereignty of the United States in favor of corporatist free trade.

2. What a boondoggle! Are all of these supposed to be toll roads?

[texastoast]

9. Right.

Money for Rick Perry's concrete buddies to begin with paid for by the state, then money paid by the user of the road.

5. I Praise the Lord for this! Our Christian leaders know what's best for us

If the Lord wanted your house to remain He would not have put profitable goods in Mexico.

Here in suburban hell (Metroplex - D/FW) we won't have to worry about losing our houses. No, our leaders are fighting over which side of the Metroplex this new "highly needed" private toll road will run.

Once these bastards start getting the private roads built, watch the public infrastructure start to suffer from neglect. Which, of course, will further fuel the cycle.

6. Funny, I can remember a time it was conservatives screaming

about "doing business with them foreigners" and cooking up theories about international treaties and the UN taking sovereignty away and preparing us to have our "guns and bibles" confiscated. :puke:

8. Funny, I can remember a time when dems stood up for US workers.

11. These people are native Texan WHORES

who do not give a FUCK about Texas.

I grew up with a bunch of them.

[Ms. Clio]

7. and it runs right through some of the best farmland in the state

fucking insane.

[texastoast]

10. Toast, by the way, I don't think you pointed out to these good folks

that the roads don't end at the Texas border.

That's right, the boondoggle goes all the way to Canada.

North American Union to Replace USA?

by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted May 19, 2006

.... President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union: ....

Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway

by Jerome R. Corsi
Posted Jun 12, 2006

.... A good reason Bush does not want to secure the border with Mexico may be that the administration is trying to create express lanes for Mexican trucks to bring containers with cheap Far East goods into the heart of the U.S., all without the involvement of any U.S. union workers on the docks or in the trucks.

Mr. Corsi is the author of several books, including "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" (along with John O'Neill), "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil" (along with Craig R. Smith), and "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians." He is a frequent guest on the G. Gordon Liddy radio show. He will soon co-author a new book with Jim Gilchrist on the Minuteman Project.
