The Other Side of the Story
No sooner had the Security and Prosperity Partnership been launched than the U.S. Commerce Department made space available in its offices for the personnel of 20 “working groups” to carry out the designs of the new organization. Of note is the fact that no one in Congress had been apprised of this development. Why bypass Congress if there’s nothing to hide?
In September 2006, high-level government officials, media heavyweights and corporate leaders met behind closed doors at a plush resort in Banff, Canada. At their gathering, labeled the “North American Forum,” they discussed energy, security, border infrastructure, and North American “integration.” We know about the secret meeting because a Canadian who attended the affair and didn’t like what he heard blew the whistle and shared some of its documents. After the three-day session, attendee Thomas Shannon (a U.S. Assistant Secretary of State) told an audience in Canada, “The North American Forum is a parallel structure to the Security and Prosperity Partnership.” Other U.S. attendees included former Secretary of State George Shultz, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (replaced at the last minute by Joint Chiefs Chairman General Peter Pace), former U.S. Trade Representative and NAFTA co-author Carla Hills, Wall Street Journal columnist Mary Anastasia O’Grady (who has yet to mention the meeting in her column), and several other former cabinet officers and government officials. Counterparts from Canada and Mexico represented their countries. If nothing sinister was going on at this gathering, why was it conducted in secrecy?
As far back as 2002, Mexico’s Vicente Fox called for the establishment of a duplicate of “the European Union” for the entire Western Hemisphere. He is not alone in desiring such a momentous step. British researchers Christopher Booker and Richard North wrote in their 2003 book, The Great Deception: The Secret History of the European Union, about the false promises and incremental steps that have led to what they termed “the most spectacular coup d’etat in history.” Just as the people of Europe were led astray, we in America are facing similar deceitful beginnings leading to a similar “coup d’etat.”
At the August 2007 meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, hundreds of helmeted, armed, and tear-gas-wielding soldiers and police guarded the site, the Montebello Resort in Western Quebec, to assure that the public would not have access to the proceedings. U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins assured the world in the Canadian press that “no one involved in these discussions is interested in, or has ever proposed, a North American Union, a North American Superhighway, or a North American currency.” But Robert Pastor, who is the originator and purveyor of these very topics, was at the Montebello SPP gathering.
More evidence can be assembled for any Doubting Thomases. But space limitations must be honored. Suffice it to say that the border hasn’t been secured, as journalist Jerome Corsi has indicated, because there’s no intention to secure it. A single political and economic entity known as the North American Union doesn’t allow for individual national border security. But a merger of the three nations requires a common security perimeter that ignores national boundaries. Which is why a growing number of Congressmen, alerted by the “conspiracy theorists,” have co-sponsored legislation to block the NAU and scuttle all aspects of the entire plot.

The Other Side of the Story
Bennett gave some hard facts in his article in the Boston Globe but the other side of the story needs to be told as well. The quote above gives some of that background. I'd recommend that you go to the link and follow more of the argument.
