U.S. passports near elimination?

To be joined at the hip creating "North Americans."

A Soros-funded group arguing to replace the U.S. passport with a North American passport appears ready to take up the mantle of championing the concept of a European Union-style regional government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, Mexico and Canada, fulfilling the dream of the late American University professor Robert Pastor.

The future of the U.S. lies in North America, not in the United States as a sovereign nation, contends the New America Foundation, a Washington-based leftist think-tank with ties to Jonathan Soros, son of famed leftist billionaire George Soros.

United States of North America, (so far) a fictitious passport, that joins the three NAFTA members’ passport heraldics: Canada, U.S.A. and México.

Appropriately named "New America," the foundation believes the U.S. passport should soon become obsolete and replaced with a European Union-style passport issued for all citizens of the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Citizens would be redefined by their regional identity as "North Americans," echoing President Obama's claim in Spanish in his December 17, 2014, announcement of his executive actions to re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba, "Todos Somos Americanos," or, "We are all Americans.

"The United States, Canada and Mexico are bound by a shared economic, environmental, demographic and cultural destiny. How we move forward together is key to our success," wrote André Martinez, an editor with New America and a professor at the Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University; and Daniel Kurtz-Phelan, a fellow at New America and a former adviser on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's policy planning staff, in an article titled Why we need a North American Passport, published by CNN.com.

"In recognition of our shared destiny, the three countries should create a North American passport that would, over time, allow their citizens to travel, work, invest, learn and innovate anywhere in North America. Work, tourist and student visas are necessities in the modern world to regulate the flow of people between sovereign states," Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan declared.

"In the North American context, much like within the European Union, our economies and societies are far more integrated than our immigration system recognizes - and a North American passport, much like the EU passport, would align our laws with reality."

The article authored by Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan provides additional support for the argument reported by WND for the past decade that globalists seeking to create a "North American Union" realized the EU stealth model could be replicated in North America. It can be accomplished, they believe, through establishing free-trade agreements such as NAFTA and transforming them incrementally into a regional government.

In Europe, the European Coal and Steel Agreement - signed as a treaty in Paris on April 18, 1951, and put into force on July 23, 1952 - evolved into the European Common market. The EC was created by the Treaty of Rome March 25, 1957, and ultimately became the European Union, a regional government.

"The inception of NAFTA marked an important step toward leveraging these geographic realities for a shared North American success," Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan noted.

"NAFTA has been a boon to our growth and competitiveness. Integrated production platforms, sometimes spanning all three countries, have helped draw manufacturing back from competitors across the Pacific." They said, however, "the promise of NAFTA has fallen short in a critical respect." While trade and investment have grown, "the barriers to movement have remained too high for the people who help drive and stand to benefit from that growth."

Comment: Regarding a move towards a European Union-style integration of North America, the U.S., Mexico and Canada are already acting as a unit in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and in the North American Leaders Summit to advance George W. Bush administration's agenda for North American integration.

The Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement was crafted by the 600 largest corporations in the United States and abroad in order to provide them with a monopolistic edge.

"As evidenced by the recent political firestorm over President Obama's executive move to allow more undocumented workers to avoid deportation, it would take farsighted and courageous political leadership in all three countries to press for a North American passport," Martinez and Kurtz-Phelan stressed. "But the fact is that allowing North Americans to move more effortlessly across the borders would help alleviate our contentious domestic immigration battles."

Comment: Sounds like smoke, mirrors and manipulation. Since when have any of the three countries advocated for "movement effortlessly across borders?" Aren't the borders tighter than ever today with "terrorism" around every corner?

The New America Foundation boasts millions of dollars in funding by a blue-chip list of leftist donors along with government funding in the form of a seven-figure grant from the State Department and a six-figure grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Prominent among a list of nearly 150 different funding sources is Google Inc., reflecting the participation of Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, on the New American Foundation's board of trustees.

Also on the board is Jonathan Soros, CEO of JS Capital Management LLC, a private investment firm, also credited on the New American Foundation website as holding several board positions affiliated with the George Soros Open Society Foundations.

The president and CEO of the New American Foundation is Anne-Marie Slaughter, who previously served as the director of policy planning in the State Department, where she worked for Hillary Clinton from January 2009 through February 2011.

Slaughter is the author of the 2005 book A New World Order, in which she argued the structure of global governance is already in place, through international organizations and agreements, broad networks of economic markets, travel and information flow.

Robert Pastor, a longtime proponent of North American integration, died at the age of 66 after a three-year battle with cancer. He was a professor of international relations and the director of the Center for North American Studies at American University in Washington, D.C.

Comment: "The proponents of a North American Union have operated under the protections and at the behest of the Rockefeller supported Trilateral Commission since 1973. They use the derisive label of conspiracy theorist to minimize the public awareness deflect criticism about their plans to destroy American sovereignty. The creation of the European Union was a step along their path and now the United States and Canada find themselves squarely in the sights of the global fascists.
"The group, a tax-free foundation, is pressing for the issuance of a unified North American passport as the first step in the propaganda campaign aimed at persuading Americans that our future lies in abandoning our nation and, along with our productive neighbors to the north, officially adopting the parasitic population of Mexico as part of our new, bigger tent 'continental country.'

The dismantlement of the U.S. - are we powerless to reverse this process? (We probably know the answer to that!) The constitution is a thing of the past; our rights are being eroded from under our feet behind closed doors. Wake up folks! Think about what is next...
