The Secret Life Of SPP

The Secret Life of SPP

The term "Sub Rosa" (literally "under the rose") was coined to indicate discussions that were to be secret; not to be disclosed to anyone outside the Sub Rosa group. Today we can substitute "SPP"  (Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement) for Sub Rosa because all discussions and agreements reached by government and business representatives of Canada, Mexico and the United States are too important to share with the public for whom they are acting. .

In the case of the United States, discussions and agreements are too important to also share with congress.

Thanks to Jerome Corsi and WorldNet Daily we now know an unreported meeting was held recently at the State Department for the purpose of discussing "integration of the U.S., Mexico and Canada in concert with a move toward a transatlantic union, linking a North American community with the European Union". The Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy, or ACIEP, conducted the meeting under what are called "Chatham House" rules that prohibit reporters from attributing specific comments to individual participants.

"Present at the meeting were about 25 ACIEP members; among them being U.S. corporations involved in international trade, prominent U.S. business trade groups, law firms involved with international business law, international investment firms and other international trade consultants", but no members of Congress attended the meeting.

The purpose of the meeting was stated in the agenda: review the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, another name for SPP, and the previously virtually unreported "U.S.-EU Transatlantic Economic Council", or TEC. The trilateral SPP originated by declaration of government leaders in 2005 and has about 20 working groups of bureaucrats that seek to "integrate and harmonize" administrative rules and regulations of the three countries on a continental basis.
