Military agreement ignored by media

It is very troubling to me that in a ceremony that received virtually no attention in the American media, the United States and Canada signed a military agreement Feb. 14 allowing the armed forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a domestic civil emergency, even one that does not involve a cross-border crisis.

The agreement, defined as a Civil Assistance Plan, was not submitted to Congress for approval, nor did Congress pass any law or treaty specifically authorizing this military agreement to combine the operations of the armed forces of the United States and Canada in the event of a wide range of domestic civil disturbances ranging from violent storms to civil riots...The military Civil Assistance Plan can be seen as a further incremental step being taken toward creating a North American armed forces available to be deployed in domestic North American emergency situations and in my mind civil unrest when they implement the North American Union. They are fully aware the peoples of all of these nations will not accept it without rioting in the streets. It is not just American citizens who do not want this merger but citizens from all three countries.

In May 2007, President Bush, on his own authority, signed National Security Presidential Directive 51, also known as Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20, authorizing the president to declare a national emergency and take over all functions of federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, without necessarily obtaining the approval of Congress to do so. So here he goes again bypassing Congress and the people in his quest for complete unheard of power in this United States.

If the establishment was really supportive of protecting U.S. national sovereignty why on earth would they allow this agreement? There is no question that the U.S. government is preparing for martial law domestically, but the long-term goal is to establish a martial law apparatus for all of North America. They are merely beginning the implementation of what has been announced in the Vision 2020 document. There is little question that this deal between the U.S. and Canadian military is another step toward forming a North American Union that is ruled by a militarized police state.
