Why Is The “North American Union” Being Kept Away From the Public Eye?

The states of the world are coming together in superstate structures that will probably replace in time them, which will make it easier to travel or to do business.

It is thought that in time these structures will unite in their turn into a unique structure similar to the United Nations, or maybe will even turn the U.N. into this superstate.

Some say it is good, some say it is bad. There are people who hail the erasure of the national borders and the abolition of national, local and regional bureaucracy.

There are people who see some resemblance between these superstate structures and apocalyptical prophecies about some 10 kingdoms gathering the entire population of the planet (Revelation 17:12-14).

Apocalyptical or not, the continental unions are forming, the most popular of them being The European Union, which is a pattern for all others in the world.

European Union unites most of the continental nations in an union which has signs of a state, especially after the passing of the Lisbon Treaty, considered in Europe some form of constitution of the union.

The model was copied in Africa, where an African Union was created, comprising 52 states that sometimes are referred to as The United States of Africa.

In Asia there are many such organizations: in 2007, Nursultan Nazarbaev proposed a Central Asian Union, which would include the countries in the region, all former members of the Soviet Union.

On the ruins of the Soviet Union Russia proposes a Union State that would comprise Russia, Belarus, and in the next future possibly Ukraine and other states.

In the eastern Asia there is the ASEAN (The Association of Southern Asian Nations) uniting the countries in the region and Australia.

In the Latin American there is MERCOSUR, Mercado Comun del Sur, which reminds us of the beginnings of the European Union.

That calls for the natural inference that the northern American continent couldn’t avoid this process. Could it?

The listing of the above-mentioned continental union makes us wonder if there is a similar body on the north American continent. And the answer is, of course, affirmative.

Is it? Is there really a union of the North America? What is its name? Which countries does it comprise? Where is its capital? Does it have a continental currency?

At first glance, the answer is “Yes.” There is a corresponding body on the northern American continent. It is called “The North American Union,” it is comprised of Canada, The United States and Mexico, and even has a continental currency, called “amero.”

Whenever someone wants to look it up on the Internet will be surprised to see that this is the only union that has no website, no address and not too many entrances. Unlike the other similar bodies which have such sites, http://europa.eu/, http://www.africa-union.org/, http://www.asean.or.jp/en, http://www.mercosur.org/, and so on.

If you wish to look on the Internet “European Union,” you will find tens or even hundreds of references on the Internet.

The first references about The North American Union are those of the Wikipedia (and there about the only ones).

Thus, Wikipedia says the North American Union (NAU) is a “theoretical economic union” and “in some instances also a political union,” with a concept “loosely based on the European Union,” “occasionally including a common currency.”

Using this evasive language the site goes on to affirm that “while the idea was discussed and proposed in academic, business and political circles for decades,” the governmental officials of the three nations never convened, never signed a treaty and “say there are no plans” for such an union in the near future.

And another paramount information: the North American Union has been subject to many conspiracy theories.

The Wikipedia in Spanish begins by referring directly to the “conspiracy theories,” when affirms that “La Union Norte Americana (UNA), seria, segun ciertas teorias conspirativas, una organizacion supranacional producto de la union de los tres paeses soberanos de Norte America” (“The North American Union – NUA – would be, according to some conspiracy theories, a supernational organization product of the union of the three sovereign states in the North America”).

The Spanish Wikipedia also says that the union “would have” the common currency the “amero,” and that the politicians have denied the existence of such plans.

Let’s assume the Wikipedia is right about this. Let’s say the northern American leaders have been talking for decades about the benefits of such union but never found a way to make it happen.

The first question that comes to mind when reading these lines is “Why so much secrecy?” Is there a reason these people insist on showing this is not real, that it is only a plan of the intellectuals and that nothing is true about it?

Would it be something bad to have such a union operating in North America? Why? All the other continents have it. Why not the North America? European Union is out in the open, it is not so esoteric, and so is the African Union, or the MERCOSUR.

The English Wikipedia tells us that the NAU is a “theoretical regional union,” “possibly similar in structure,” with amero “sometimes included.” The Spanish Wikipedia continues the presentation of the Union to such a point that at a moment it can be confused for the presentation of the EU.

Thus, the Spanish Wikipedia says that the “ex political leaders discussed the idea” and that the union is created on the basis of a previously existing economic cooperation.

Though the idea is “discussed at academic and political level,” there are steps that have been taken very concretely, such as the creation of the Northern American Bank for Development, a joint U.S.A. and Mexican bank which finances projects related to the border environment.

Another step taken is the creation of three corridors that would carry electricity, petroleum, water and more products.

In 2005, G.W. Bush, Vincente Fox, Mexican President, and Paul Martin, Canadian PM, founded the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. The Spanish Wikipedia reports: “Cuando la ASPAN fue fundada por el gobierno de Canadá, México y Estados Unidos en marzo de 2005, no informaron a los respectivos congresos de cada país.” (“When the SPPNA was founded by the governments of Canada, Mexico and United States, in March 2005, the governments in each country were not informed”) So, who founded this agreement? On whose behalf?

In 1994, The North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA (ASPAN) had been signed, which is very “similar to the European” treaties that were the basis upon which the EU was founded.

In the same year 2005 a work team issued under the guidance of the Council on Foreign Relations a document called Creating a North American Community , which proposes the strengthen of security and economy ties between the three states.

We could go on for ever documenting that something is going down in the North America. “Conspiracy theories” fear that the organization is in place and is no less visible than any of its counterparts in the other continents.

Assuming there is such thing as the North American Union, why is it classified information for the people of The United States, Canada and Mexico (though the Spanish sites tell more about the topic than the pages in English)?

One answer could lie in the nature of such organization. It is very much unlikely that one single American would allow his country to be run by any another state structure than the U.S.A., as it happens in Europe, where the EU legal provisions take precedence over the one of each state, which means that the EU rules over its components states.

Another response could be that Americans are not ready to receive all the Mexican people looking for work, as it happens in Europe, where the borders are virtually erased.

Is the NAU real? Are the politicians of the three countries concealing such info from their citizens, constituents and tax payers? Sooner or later we will find out. Something like this cannot remain a “would be” for ever.
