North American Union: evolution by stealth? By Wes Vernon

A hush-hush meeting held in Banff, Canada, last year seriously explored the issue of how to sneak (yes, that is the right word) — sneak a North American Union (NAU) onto the people of the U.S. Canada, and Mexico. What we are talking about is making a de facto merger of the three countries a fait accompli by the time it's too late to reverse it.

What else can one believe when the term "evolution by stealth" is used? (For background on the NAU, see this column Illegal Aliens and the Secret Monster Highway (Oct. 9, 2006) and AIM Report America's Borders: Going-Going-Gone! (Dec. 22, 2006).

Truth will out?

Thanks to the sleuthing of Judicial Watch, we know that at this meeting in September, that exact term, "evolution by stealth," was used in discussions of how to slip a North American Union past us before we know it. The mainstream media are not interested. They are too busy making a big deal out of silly non-scandals such as who cares about Valerie Plame or the audacity of the president of the United States to fire U.S. attorneys who serve at the pleasure of — well — the president.

The media were not invited to cover the Banff conference of the North American Forum for Integration (NAFI). The only media person listed as present for the gathering was Mary Anastasia O'Grady of the Wall Street Journal. Apparently she was there as a participant/observer, not as a journalist. A Google search indicates no article on the meeting appeared in the WSJ.

However, the findings of Judicial Watch — obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) — should interest any news assignment editor who is not in the wrong business.

Here is the wording in the notes for presentation at the conference, and they leave no doubt that the attendees seriously considered sneaking the NAU through so as to avoid the anticipated popular opposition to merging the three countries:

"To what degree does a concept of North America help/hinder solving problems within the three countries? ... While a vision is appealing, working on the infrastructure might yield more benefit and bring more people on board ('evolution by stealth')."
