EXCLUSIVE TO THE SPOTLIGHT By James P. Tucker Jr. NATO formally proclaimed its role as the standing army of the United Nations with a mission to patrol the world during its 50th anniversary summit in Washington. The 19 NATO nations agreed that it will now have a "key role in crisis situations beyond our borders under the appropriate legal basis," said NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana. "Appropriate legal basis" was defined by French President Jacques Chirac: "NATO cannot and will not be able to act without the authorization [of the UN Security Council]. The primary responsibility [of the Security Council is] for the maintenance of international peace and security." "The Security Council has powers to impose solutions even against the will of a sovereign state," said French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine. American and European leaders were enthusiastic about formally making NATO the UN's global army. The definition of NATO's future is not a "geographic issue," said President Clinton. He pointed out that the attack on the sovereign state of Yugoslavia had set the precedent. The first time NATO went to war, it violated its own previously-defined role as a defensive alliance. Globalization British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited the Chicago Economic Club to proclaim NATO's right to intervene in sovereign countries, because stopping genocide "can never be a purely internal matter." "Relations between nations can no longer be founded on respect for sovereignty-they must be founded on respect for human rights," said Polish Foreign Minister Bronislaw Geremek. "Kosovo is yet another reminder that the greatest challenges . . . emanate from beyond NATO's territory," said U.S. National Security Adviser Samuel Berger at a White House briefing. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott hailed this "vision of the future." He had earlier predicted the end of "nationhood as we know it" and the emergence of "a single, global authority." They must now deal with "areas of intense Western concern: The Arab-Israeli conflict, Iraq and Iran, Afghanistan, the Caspian Sea and Transcaucasus," said Robert Hunter, U.S. ambassador to NATO from 1993 to 1998. Inside their meetings, behind closed doors, NATO leaders were equally emphatic in denouncing national sovereignty and calling for the alliance to become the UN's world army. "NATO 2000 . . . will also provide us with new political and military options for conflict prevention and crisis management . . . the possibilities of preventive military deployments," said Solana. "The potentially aggressive states in both North Africa and the Middle East-Libya, Iraq and Syria-have obligated NATO to missions of extended duration and commitment," said Gen. Wesley Clark, who is the supreme allied commander. NATO will move from a "fixed, positional defense to a more flexible, mobile" organization "operating outside alliance territory," said U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen. More Dissenters Greece is bitterly opposed to the invasion of Yugoslavia but its defense minister, Apostolos-Athanasios Tsohatzopoulos, nevertheless called for NATO to become involved in "the Middle East and Transcaucasus-Central Asia." Jacques Poos, Luxembourg's deputy prime minister and minister for foreign affairs, cited "extreme nationalism" as a reason for NATO to patrol the globe. NATO must "provide itself with appropriate capabilities enabling it to conduct peacekeeping operations outside the territory of the alliance," Poos said. NATO's becoming the UN's global army is a long-time goal of Bilderberg and its brother group, the Trilateral Commission. Both view it as a giant step toward their goal of making the UN a de jure, instead of de facto, world government. NATO's action in Washington will be celebrated near Lisbon, Portugal in June 3-6, when Bilderberg holds its annual super-secret meeting. U.S. and the Internationalist Threat "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. **************************************************************************** Subscribe to THE SPOTLIGHT! Only $59.00 for 1 year or $99.00 for 2 years.
