There is your first clue folks! It
is not a SuperHighway it is a SuperCorridor! So all of
those federal and State elected officials who deny that
there is a plan for a NAFTA SuperHighway are telling the
truth - sorta. It is not a highway it is a
corridor. I hope this
clarifies the situation and you re-evaluate your elected
officials ranking on the honesty scale!
In fact the logo of this charitable
organization clearly shows that it is planning a
corridor right through the middle of our country and
just happens - quite by accident surely - include Mexico
and Canada!
Not only does this include the two
other countries included in the NAFTA Expensive Trade
Agreement, but the organization roots date back to 1994.
Of course there is no connection to the FACT that NAFTA
was passed by a special interest influenced coalition of
both Republicans and Democrats just prior to its
initiation.
Once again when your federal and
State officials deny there is a NAFTA SuperHighway or
even a NAFTA SuperCorridor they are telling the truth -
sorta. Now that we have clarified the terms NAFTA
SuperHighway and North American
Inland Ports Network (NAIPN) we can continue
looking at what this thing is regardless of what you
call it.
To
begin it does in fact cut right through the center of
our country. That is why they use the term of
inland ports! Now to
most people inland ports makes about as much sense as
water skiing in a desert. But that is the purpose of
this project, to create inland ports served by a
SuperCorridor.
Now before you laugh at the
inland ports term, take a look at the proposed
SuperCorridor on the left. It does include real honest
to goodness ports. Three Mexican ports are clearly
indicated.
Now if the real purpose was to
create these "inland ports"
with the aid of our government, wouldn't it make more
sense to use ports in our own country? But I do not see
a single honest to goodness port in our country
connected to this mysterious SuperCorridor.
But the reason is vaguely presented
by references to "Pacific Rim" trade. Now that you - or
at least some - are getting used to the game of
semantics any guesses as to who the dominate supplier of
trade goods in the so called Pacific Rim is?
If you guessed China - then you
hit the nail on the head!
Is it possible that this whole
North American Inland Ports
Network (NAIPN) scam and game of
semantics is just another step toward
destroying our country's international trade position
(See:
Trade Deficit still heading toward dismal
record breaking debt)?
- Regardless of what it is called
it will increase the flow of imports into our country,
causing further deterioration of our record breaking
trade deficits.
- Regardless of what it is called
it increase truck and rail traffic with Mexico which
is a constant source of illicit smuggling of many
types.
- Regardless of what it is called
it will result in you - the tax payer paying for the
expansion of the long thin slabs of concrete most of
us call highways, but in this case - is just a SuperCorridor.
- Regardless of what it called it
will increase the number of companies in our country
that either close shop or move to foreign countries.
Back to the subject of this
article, H.C.R. 40. We strongly support his resolution
and commend the sponsors for abandoning the game of
semantics and addressing this serious situation. The
co-sponsors are:

Sadly only Congressman Norwood from
our Congressional delegation co-sponsored this
legislation. Sadly, Congressman Norwood died in
February. So at this time there are no co-sponsors from
Georgia.
Maybe it is time to support
political competition in Georgia. Georgia has the
hardest ballot access laws in our entire country and has
the worst record of any State in political competition
in elections. The current law was passed in 1943 for the
express purpose of preventing the Republicans getting on
the ballot and now the Republicans maintain the
Democrats' law to keep us off the ballot.
The Southern Party of Georgia will be sending a letter to each
member of the Georgia Congressional delegation asking
for their position on H.C.R 40 - stay turned for
results.
