WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! March 4, 2000 RED TROJAN HORSE : The NAFTA Corridors and the Panama Canal Connection By: Tim Shaw Reform Party U.S. Constitution Sub-Committee Team Leader [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Indeed, the great sucking sound that was so feared during the negotiations for the passage of NAFTA in late 1993 is being heard and cheered today...for it is the sound of corporate America gravitating toward this international trade corridor. It is the surge of products moving to market and the sound of money filling coffers. It is the free enterprise system at work." North American Superhighway Coalition (NASCO) "They'll want to demonstrate to a distant part of the world that they can be a responsible partner...And I would be very surprised if any adverse consequences flowed from the Chinese running the [ Panama ] Canal." President Bill Clinton Oval Office interview November 31, 1999 "Seen from the changes in the world situation and the United States' hegemonic strategy for creating monopolarity, war is inevitable...We cannot avoid it. The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war....We must be prepared to fight for one year, two years, three years or even longer." Chi Haotian, Chinese Defense Minister Cheng Ming, Hong Kong's newspaper January 11, 2000 INTRODUCTION: What you are about to read will shock you. While the Reform Party has been embattled in a bitter fight for control of our party, NAFTA's expansion is about to get a boost beyond anything we have ever envisioned. The following began with a phone call from a Reformer in Kansas City, Missouri named Dennis Carriger to myself a few weeks ago. He explained to me that there were plans to build a "NAFTA Corridor" between the United States, Canada, and Mexico and that this Corridor would be I-35. The NAFTA Corridor would run from the southern border at Loredo, TX right to Kansas City, MO where an international hub would be built on the Richard-Gebaur AFB. From this hub, the rest of our nation would be serviced. Dennis was quite concerned about this but was not online. He asked me to research it for him and what I discovered was astounding. This is truly the "mother of all issues" and spells out a not only a free trade disaster for our nation, but a incredible threat to our country by the communist Chinese. As you will see, when the pieces are put together, the puzzle begins to make sense. NAFTA expansion, defense cutbacks, campaign finance violations, the Panama Canal transfer, and a hostel threat from the Chinese are all rolled into one here....including perhaps the reason the Reform Party is in a fight to the death over our very principles. This information below will be posted on the National Reform Party's U.S. Constitution Sub-Committee page at http://issues.reformparty.org/iss_const.htm as well as sent by e-mail to whoever will take the time to read it. While we will continually update you on this issue, the following is intended for use as a convenient format for handout or mailout. OVERVIEW 1.THERE WILL BE 43 NAFTA CORRIDORS ALL THROUGHOUT THE U.S. Dennis had stumbled upon the "main Corridor" which was indeed I-35. What I discovered is that there are 42 other NAFTA Corridors in the works all over our nation. From east to west, north to south they have us covered and Kansas City will be the homebase hub for the project. From San Diego to Maine and Seattle to Florida, goods will be shipped duty free out of Mexico. You may view a map of them here: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep10/nhs/map.html or on the attached page if this is a printed copy. The Corridors have received $700 million in federal funding from the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) which was lobbied heavily by such pro-NAFTA organizations as the North American Superhighway Coalition (NASCO). TEA-21 is split into two funding categories: The National Corridor Planning and Development program and Coordinated Border Infrastructure program. These programs use highway improvement and traffic relief as a cover for more convent passage for NAFTA transport. 2. THE ORIGIN OF THE CORRIDORS WILL NOT BE MEXICO BUT THE PANAMA CANAL WHICH IS NOW CONTROLLED BY THE COMMUNIST CHINESE. On December 31st 1999, the Panama Canal was signed over to the country of Panama. Panama has in turn leased the Canal to the Chinese company Hutchison-Whampoa, a subsidiary of COSCO (The Chinese Overseas Shipping Corporation). Both COSCO and Hutchison-Whampoa are front organization for the communist Chinese. We will now have Chinese made goods (as well as drugs and perhaps bombs or terrorists) being shipped duty free all throughout our nation. Fewer then 1% of the trucks crossing the border at Loredo, TX are searched. Kansas City Southern Railroad, who will run the Kansas City NAFTA hub when completed, is entering a joint venture with Mi-Jack Products Inc to begin construction of a rail line parallel to the Panama Canal and has been buying up Mexican rail lines for improvement. Funding for this project will come from none other than the International Finance Corporation, which is the private lending unit of the World Bank. This would give the Chinese the capability to ship whatever they want, wherever they want within the United States and make the NAFTA Corridors a "red trojan horse" of communist aggression. You may view a map of the I-35 NAFTA Corridor showing the origin of the Panama Canal here: http://www.kcsi.com/cor_m.html 3. A CHINESE CONTROLLED PANAMA CANAL WILL LEAD TO UNTHINKABLE CONSEQUENCES. China will effectively own, operate, and control the Panama Canal. They will indeed have the ability to shut the Canal down. Under Panama Law No. 5, passed in 1997, the United States military cannot intervene in such a case unless the Panamanian government first grants us permission. The Panamanian government will undoubtedly be bribed by COSCO. China will control both anchor ports, Balboa on the pacific end and Cristobal on the atlantic end. China will take over the Rodman Naval Base on the pacific end capable of handling, supplying, refueling, or repairing just about any warship. They will be permitted to hire new "pilots" for the Canal. Pilots are responsible for complete control of who or what passes through the Canal and in what order. The U.S. Navy would therefore lose its primary passage status in the Canal and be forced to wait in line with everyone else. In the event of war, our supply ships would not be able to reach our warships. Unloading will be completely controlled by the Chinese and reloading for passage into America will go unchecked. Using the NAFTA Corridors, drugs, bombs, and no telling what else would be shipped across our borders. Chinese Defense Minister, Chi Haotian, has stated as late as January 11, 2000 that war with the United States is inevitable and that China must control the "initiative" in that war. As late as March 1, 2000 the Chinese government has vowed to target American cities with missiles should we intervene in an attack on Taiwan. We were told that the Japanese would never attack Pearl Harbor. We were told the Russians would never be in Cuba. Today, we are being told the Chinese would never shut down the Panama Canal and use their Corridors to attack American cities. Even without Corridor access in place, a Chinese presence in the Canal poses a dangerous threat to the American people. 4. COSCO's LONG BEACH SHIPPING PORT PART OF CORRIDORS. Bill Clinton personally intervened in an attempt to lease the Long Beach Naval Base in Long Beach, California to COSCO back in 1997. We were able to defeat this treasonous act but the NAFTA Corridor connection begged to be looked into still. Sure enough, going east from southern California will be a "Transamerica Corridor" using a number of corridors with Kansas City access partway before heading onward to Virginia. Clinton shut down the Long Beach Naval Base by 1996 and Kansas City's Richards-Gebaur Air Force base officially closed in 1994. Since 1989, a total of 163 bases nationwide with 119,000 military and civilian personnel have been marked for closure. California saw over 21 bases closed by 1994 alone. This is NAFTA expansion at the expense of our national defense and the Chinese are taking advantage. 5. CHINAGATE CONNECTED TO THE CORRIDORS. During the NAFTA battle in 1993, Ross Perot warned us that the Chinese would soon be in Mexico and people scoffed. That same year, Clinton must have known that China would acquire the Panama Canal in 1999 and with the Corridors in mind, took campaign donations. This explains his eagerness to give them the Long Beach Port, as well as his shutting down various military bases which will be used as minor hubs all around the US for NAFTA expansion. Chinagate gives credence to this connection and would certainly explain why both China and Clinton/Gore had a vested interest in one another. This alone was the proper reason for impeachment, yet Congress refused to focus on the Chinese connection. 5. NAFTA CORRIDORS STALLED BY REFORM PARTY AND OTHER PATRIOTS. In 1993 United We Stand America, led the fight against NAFTA. Since it's passage we have continued to fight (now as the Reform Party) and have been a thorn in the side of the globalist plan for free trade expansion. So far, we have stalled them in Kansas City, costing them millions. If you remember, NAFTA was supposed to have depleted our tariffs by 2000. The I-35 Corridor was scheduled to be completed by 2000. The Chinese were to have control of the Long Beach Naval Base and the Panama Canal by 2000. They had it all planned to go for 2000--but have only secured the Canal so far. They are behind schedule. What to do about the Reform Party which has been such a burden to them? Enter Jesse Ventura and Jack Gargen. 6. VENTURA CONNECTION. Looking at a map of I-35 http://www.nasco-itc.com/map.htm one can't help but notice that the interstate runs straight to none other than Jesse "the free trader" Ventura. Duluth, Minnesota is the last stop on the line before it passes into Canada. I-35 also runs right to Minneapolis/St. Paul. During the Seattle Riots, Ventura became a poster child for free trade praising NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO. He called for China to be admitted into the WTO along with President Clinton during his recent trip to Washington DC. In 1998, as their scheduled deadline of 2000 was fast approaching and with the Reform Party still a viable threat, we were graced with the presence of Jesse Ventura. Since soon after his inauguration, he became a source of infighting and bickering within the party, primarily created by his hand picked (and now ousted chairman, Jack Gargen). As this report is written, the Reform Party has been completely stalled and bogged down with fighting his people who clearly have no goal in mind but to wipe the party from the face of the earth in 2000. Ventura's support of NAFTA as being good for "BUSINESS" in his state and his vow to remove the planks, which object to free trade triggered an urgent battle for our very principles. According to Charles Sanft, Minnesota's Planning Director of Transportation, "Governor Ventura's proposed 'Moving Minnesota' transportation investment strategy contains specific additional funding for Minnesota's Interregional Corridors, and improvements to Twin Cities bottlenecks. Both of these categories include I-35. Given these facts, I think you can see that Governor Ventura, via our Department and Mn/DOTCommissioner Tinklenberg, is very interested in the future of I-35 and how it can continue to serve our local, regional and international commerce needs." While we are winning the battle for our party, the Establishment has us right where they want us--arguing, infighting, and focused away from them. Their goal is to discredit the party so they can complete their goals without the threat of the Reform Party to hinder them. Ventura has since left the party and anti-globalist, Pat Choate has been elected in place of Jack Gargen. While the free trade takeover of the party was a failure, we expect Ventura's people will no doubt continue to tie up our time. 7. SOLUTION: IF CONGRESS ACTS ON THE ILLEGAL TRANSFER OF THE PANAMA CANAL WE CAN SAVE AMERICA FROM DANGER. All Congress has to do to reclaim our Canal is simply to exercise the separation of powers. The 1903 Hay-Buanu-Varilla Treaty between the United States and Panama has never been constitutionally terminated and is thus still in effect. This makes transfer of the Canal to the country of Panama illegal. The 1977 Carter-Torrijos treaties are null and void based on the fact that the United States and Panama did not agree to the same text of the treaty and even stipulated to conditions that are in fundamental conflict with one another. Although the United States still legally maintains sovereignty in perpetuity over the Canal and the Canal Zone, the executive branch of our government since 1977 has continued in the process of illegal transfer. Finally here in 2000, our Congress has stood back and allowed transfer of the Canal to communist China who claims that "War is inevitable with the U.S." and that they must "control the initiative in this war". Rep Helen Chenowroth has proposed H.J. Res. 77 "The Panama and America Security Act" to take our Canal back but needs our help. This is an election year and if enough voices are heard, this could become a hot issue in Congress resulting in the reclaiming of our Canal. President Clinton could not veto the resolution if Congress terminates the 1977 Carter-Trorrijos Treaty (though he may try). By termination of that treaty and taking back our Canal, the plan to expand NAFTA Corridors all though out the United States would be dealt a major setback. Though China could still operate out of Mexico just as easily, the acquisition of the Canal played a major role in the NAFTA Corridor Connection. The Corridors are already behind schedule and passage of H.R. Res 77 would deal them a deathblow. Please call your congressman today and ask them to support the resolution. Please pass this information on to a friend. Together we can protect our Republic. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO ME OR RECEIVE A "SAVE OUR PANAMA CANAL BUTTON!"
