What Ron Paul Believes: USA, Canada, And Mexico Will Merge

His most notable conspiracy theory of recent years has been an elaborate international plot to build a highway connecting the United States, Canada, and Mexico as a prerequisite for creating a combined state, the North American Union, with its own currency.

The above theory — which is entirely fictitious — isn’t some issue at the margins of Paul’s campaign, either, it was a central part of his 2008 platform. He included a section about it on his official candidate website:

“NAFTA’s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme.”

The North American Union and NAFTA Superhighway are part of a theme for Paul, who often warns of shadowy efforts to give up US sovereignty to international authorities. It’s a tradition with roots tracing back to the radical anti-communist John Birch Society in the 1950s and 1960s. … It’s a pretty good description of Paul, an old school John Birch Society supporter who recently spoke at their 50th anniversary gathering. In 1990, he appeared in a Birch-produced video on the United Nations, unearthed recently by researcher extraordinaire Andrew Kaczynski, in which he warned the UN was plotting to “confiscate our guns” and “repeal the Second Amendment.”

1. Again Ron Paul will not be a nominee and never POTUS

EVER

Stop giving the nut job air time!

2. Reality is that this was a dream during GW Bush's mis-Administration, but not sure it

would garner any more support now, than it did then;

3. Ahhh, the old North American Super Highway madness of the Bush years

I remember it fairly well. I forgot what the new country that consists of the US, Mexico, and Canada will be called.

4. Some one needs to hide his drugs

5. I believe if Big Money would profit, that's not out of the question. European Union. Who ever

thought that would happen? Euro Dollar? Same thing.

IF that's what TPTB want, I'm not so sure this wouldn't occur.

6. The European Union is a liberal accomplishment that Europeans achieved at the same time

that they were creating the progressive societies that they now have. It is the conservatives (particularly the far-right), known as "eurosceptics", on the continent that are trying to weaken or dismantle the EU.

If you read the polls, it is republicans (particularly teabaggers) who oppose trade with and immigration from Mexico. Nothing like the EU will happen in my lifetime but, if it ever does, it will be the result of liberal pressure (as happened in Europe) not from conservatives.

[gateley]

7. I still think it went/goes beyond what conservatives or liberals want. It's what Big Money wants

that seems to ultimately prevail.
