Divide and Conquer

"Divide and conquer" is not a new political/military concept. These days, however, the internationalists apply it more subtly.

PART ONE OF A SERIES

By F.C. Blahut

Back in 1814, the British had a plan to end the War of 1812. It involved landing troops in Louisiana and driving north to Canada, effectively splitting the nation in two.

In 1998, the one-worlders came up with a plan to split the United States in two from Mexico to Canada. This modern plan doesn't involve British troops, however.

What it does involve is spending your tax dollars to facilitate the importing of foreign goods over a special north-south road under the auspices of NAFTA.

Almost everyone knows that the Brits' 1814 plan failed. But very few people know about the North American Trade Corridor Memorandum of Understanding, which has yet to be implicated.

Here's some background on what the internationalists are planning, which includes a highway from Mexico to Canada.

North America's Superhighway Coalition, Inc. (NASCO) hosted a meeting in December 1998 attended by transportation representatives from eight states (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota), several metropolitan planning organizations and the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The purpose was to discuss "possible cooperative efforts to enhance economic development through transportation and technology improvements."

WE UNDERSTAND

As a result of that meeting, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was created establishing a formal relationship between the aforementioned jurisdictions and the Detroit International Bridge Company/Canadian Transit Company with the purpose of improving the I-35/I-94/I-29 International Trade Corridor. The states of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan have also been invited to join in this effort.

The first step to achieve these results for this partnership was to develop a comprehensive, multinational Intelligent Transportation Systems for Commercial Vehicle Operations (ITS/CVO) coordination plan for the corridor.

According to signatories to the MOU, planned deployments will be accomplished in concert with the deployment of federal and international systems at the corridor's international ports and will be consistent with the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) National ITS Architecture and Standards.

The plan will be developed by a multi-agency steering committee consisting of jurisdiction representatives, including a representative from NASCO and federal agencies. Working groups of private and public stakeholders will also focus on sections of the plan dealing with ITS services at inter modal and trade processing centers, federal, state and provincial interoperability of ITS services and corridor commercial traveler information services.

The Missouri Department of Transportation is the lead agency coordinating efforts to attract federal funding through the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century's (TEA-21) National Corridor Planning and Development Program (NCPD) for this corridor improvement plan.

MAKING MANY INTO ONE

The motto of the United States is, "from many, one."

Underneath the technical language of the MOU lies the same sentiment—to create a multinational super agency involving Mexico, various U.S. states and Canada. The members of the NASCO explain the "integration" this way:

The application addresses economic development and transportation/technology improvement issues by studying the feasibility for multiple corridor states and federal trade processing systems to integrate businesses processes, standardize information and develop shared and interoperable information systems and technologies.

The study proposed in this application will analyze the feasibility and issues associated with integration of state and federal business processes specifically focusing on aspects that directly affect the movement of international and interregional commerce across the I-35/I-94/I-29 trade corridor. The integration and standardization of state processes, integration with federal trade movement data systems and availability of better traveler information and facilities for conducting electronic commerce will spur several benefits:

* Facilitation of inter modal movements through more current and reliable information;

* Improved safety through the improved ability to enforce compliance with safety regulations;

* Reduced transaction costs and improved operating efficiency through the simplification and automation of governmental processes;

* Expansion of business through trade and through reduced costs and reduced uncertainty of conducting business across international borders; and

* Economic growth throughout the corridor through expansion of international trade.

Read the lines. Then read between the lines. This is not just an international highway with special, international regulations. This is carving out a special international trade corridor from the heartland of the United States.

And it isn't just in the thinking stage. When there are plans and money, things happen.
