The Commerce Department also provided substantial documentation concerning the North American Competitiveness Council. The council consists of 30 members, 10 each from the United States, Mexico and Canada. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Council of the Americas “agreed to jointly lead the U.S. Secretariat.” Documents describing the North American Competitiveness Council’s launch, its recommendations, and meeting minutes were also uncovered by Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, which was filed on August 15, 2006.
The council’s recommendations to the North American “partnership” include advice on how to handle an international disease outbreak: “It is also essential that throughout a pandemic all borders and major roads remain open…” With respect to border enforcement, the council recommends that, “A reasonable grace period should be established at border crossings, during which time people lacking documents are educated about their options and allowed to pass.” The council also makes recommendations on energy issues such as the “…enhanced integration of the Mexican [electricity] grid with that of the United States.”
“Many Americans are interested in where this North American partnership process is going,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Given all that is at stake, the federal government has a responsibility to make sure this process is transparent and open to public scrutiny -- so the release of these documents is an important step forward.”
The newly released documents include contact lists, meeting agenda and minutes, recommendations, fact sheets, speakers’ quotes, action items, and procedural guidelines. The records are available on the Judicial Watch Internet site: http://www.judicialwatch.org/5979.shtml

North American Forum: The Secret Cabal of Trinational Elites <br />

A North American Advisory Council. To ensure a regular injection of creative energy into the various efforts related to North American integration, the three governments should appoint an independent body of advisers. This body should be composed of eminent persons from outside government, appointed to staggered multiyear terms to ensure their independence. Their mandate would be to engage in creative exploration of new ideas from a North American perspective and to provide a public voice for North America. A complementary approach would be to establish private bodies that would meet regularly or annually to buttress North American relationships, along the lines of the Bilderberg or Wehrkunde conferences, organized to support transatlantic relations. (Emphasis mine)<br />
<br />
As far as I can tell, this startling admission has been overlooked. The "North American Advisory Council" has indeed been established; and as suggested in the report, it has been patterned after the Bilderberg Group — "the notoriously secretive council of western political leaders, industrialists and financiers which derived its name from the hotel in which it met for the first time in 1954, with funds provided by the CIA" (Hugh Wilford, "Calling the Tune? The CIA, the British Left and the Cold War, 1945-1960," in The Cultural Cold War in Western Europe, 1945-60, 47. Of particular interest, in the same book, is Valerie Aubourg's "Organizing Atlanticism: The Bilderberg Group and the Atlantic Institute, 1952-1963", 92-109). <p>---<br><br />

I've downloaded your informative ad/poster and will put them around our bulletin boards. I'm also sending them around to my address book and a copy to my Con MP/muzzled patsy. I'm also going to ask Avi Lewis if he would consider doing something on this, although there likely isn't a documentary on this subject as of yet and that is how "The Big Picture with Avi Lewis" is formated. Maybe W5?

The purpose of the meeting was to set up the priorities for the SPP which they were to present to the President's of the U.S. and Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada by September 15. The priorities they set out were: border crossing facilitation (including security, infrastructure, supply chain management, transport and logistics, customs reform); regulatory convergence; and energy integration.
The three priorities was divided among the Secretariats (e.g. for Canada the CCCE). Canada was to deal with border crossing facilitation, the U.S. was to work on regularity convergence, and Mexico on energy integration.
It seems to me that what is happening here is the creation of an alternative "bureaucracy" controlled by the largest North American corporations: essentially a parallel private sector government which directs the priorities of the "elected" government.
