From menace_________________________________ PIM Exclusive: SuperRondo II: New NASCO NAFTA Superhighway Docs Released From MnDOTThe design of transportation systems carries its own ideology: the routes, exit placement, the eminent domain actions, the financing, carpool or toll road lanes; all these issues loom large in Minnesota, especially since no one can agree how to pay for needed work. St. Paul's Rondo neighborhood, the heart of the black community, got split in half by I-94, and many people today fear similar effects from massive new roads. Recently, people on the 'fringes' of the left and right who might be considered hostile to corporate globalization have talked about a 'NAFTA Superhighway' project which would link Mexico, Canada, and the United States, but little hard evidence illustrates how this plan could work. PIM first reported in July that a Twin Cities lawyer, Nathan Hansen, used Data Practices Act requests from MnDOT to get several rounds of documents released regarding NASCO, the North American Super Corridor Coalition, a non-profit organization based in Texas. Hansen has kept at it (here's his blog), filing a lawsuit to leverage the release of more documents, more of which finally came out recently. We have packaged everything MnDOT released into a ZIP archive of PDFs (60 MB!). These MnDOT documents clearly show that NASCO was set up as a "systems integrator" to oversee NAFTRACS, a project led by Lockheed Martin's subsidiary SAVI Networks to build a complete cargo monitoring and security regime, which would include placing up to 200 RFID truck monitoring stations along Interstates 35 and 94. The entire 'Network Infrastructure' would be overseen by "Total Transportation Domain Awareness Centers of Excellence," which seemingly would fuse all available sources of data, including weather, RFID, cargo tracking, intelligence and security cameras, into NORAD-like Command and Control centers. Effectively, as the docs say, this would 'militarize' cargo along I-35, by cloning SAVI's current military shipping container tracking system at their "Lighthouse" research lab, which already runs the Pentagon's Global Transportation Network. The NASCO/SAVI Letter of Intent clearly states that SAVI, i.e. Lockheed, would have exclusive rights to market the data collected by NASCO's 'Network Infrastructure'. NASCO's intended role as a 'systems integrator,' specified in their application for federal cash, seems a similar setup to the Coast Guard Deepwater arrangement that led to a complete mess, as PIM reported earlier this year. NASCO would control all sub-contracts for the system, with a focus on generating marketable business data and supply-chain logistics from everyone using I-35 for freight. In April, Brad Larsen, MnDOT's Federal Relations Manager, and the U's Center for Transportation Studies Director Bob Johns, discussed over emails that "it sounds like NASCO has a couple very interesting projects going on - the NAFTRACS project involves Lockheed." The other responds, "Our local Lockheed office seems to be a big player--influencing earmarks. Not sure what we will do." Elsewhere, the Eagan Lockheed office is described as a leading team for collecting the NAFTRACS business data. I will resist speculating on 'what it all means,' since clearly this complex plan is international in scope. The document batch is hundreds of pages long, and I have not reviewed all of it. Your Web Editor, who discovered all this, wants to stress: this plan seems to promote long-range shipping at the expense of developing local economies, and it seems unreasonable for Lockheed to get all the data from such a plan. It seems like a way to put Lockheed in charge of maximizing imports from China, when our efforts could be better directed towards non-intrusive local economic development and non-contractor-dominated security systems, instead. This doc dump cries out for a mass of bloggers to digest it: are there any takers out there? http://www.politicsinminnesota.com/2007/dec/14/pim-exclusive-superrondo-ii-new-nasco-nafta-superhighway-docs-released-mndothttp://www.politicsinminnesota.com/files/NASCO-documents.zip____________________________ Holy crap!!!!!!!

I've parsed through about half of the documents. One thing is for sure. NASCO HATES Jerome Corsi. NASCO pushes for RFID on the roadways, inland ports, etc. One of the most sinister things in these documents was in NASCO Board Mtg FW May 30 2007, Page 3, Section IX, where the documents mentions paying $70,000 in advertising to the Financial Times of London for the exchange for a "credible entity like the FT highlighting [their] efforts" in a four page special report.

PREMEDITATED MERGERNorth-of-border link finishes NAFTA superhighway grid
Atlantic-Pacific route would allow cross-continental goods deliveries-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: December 18, 2007 10:07 p.m. Eastern By Jerome R. Corsi© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59267 Canada has announced a plan to extend the NAFTA Superhighway network north in a way that would finish a continental grid designed to accommodate an anticipated tsunami of containers from China and the Far East. The Canadian Intelligent Super Corridor, or CISCOR, is a national transportation route designed to reach from the West Coast ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert to Montreal and Halifax. As WND has documented, recent articles published in The Nation and Newsweek magazines have attempted to characterize the NAFTA Superhighway as a "conspiracy theory." Yet, the CISCOR case study provides strong evidence that the continent's ports, highways and rail lines are being reconfigured into an inter-modal system emphasizing technological logistics and "inland smart ports" designed to meet the demands of world trade, largely driven by the relocation of North American manufacturing to China. Inter-modal is a transportation economics reference to containers that can be transported on several different modes of transportation, including container ships, trucks and trains, without having to be unloaded or repacked. According to the CISCOR website, the Saskatchewan-based CISCOR Inland Port Network of the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw is designed to serve "as the central logistics and coordination hub, creating a Canadian east-west land bridge connecting three major North American north-south corridors: North America's SuperCorridor, or NASCO, the Canada-America-Mexico Corridor, or CANAMEX, and the River of Trade Corridor Coalition."  A multi-color North American continental map on the CISCOR website leaves no doubt the Canadian super corridor is designed to interface with the NAFTA Superhighway, extending down into Mexico. The CISCOR map strongly models the continental map displayed by NASCO on the trade group's website in 2005. The CISCOR website confirms an earlier WND report documenting the Canadian national transportation plan to open Prince Rupert and Vancouver as deep-water ports capable of handling the new class of 12,500 container-capacity post-Panamax ships now being built for China.  The CISCOR strategy falls under the umbrella of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative as defined by Transport Canada, the Canadian counterpart to the U.S. Department of Transportation. WND previously documented how the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railroads are included in Canada's Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, positioned to operate as NAFTA railroads. Under the CISCOR plan, the Saskatchewan cities are defined as an "inland smart port," as are Kansas City, San Antonio and Denver in the U.S. The CISCOR website cites the University of Texas Center for Transportation research to define an inland port as follows: "An Inland Port is a physical site located away from traditional land, air and coastal borders with the vision to facilitate and process international trade through strategic investment in multi-modal transportation assets and by promoting value-added services as goods move through the supply chain." The plan to make the Saskatchewan cities an inland port centers on utilizing the West Coast deep-water ports in British Columbia as the input point for millions of containers from China and the Far East. American companies have taken advantage of cheap labor in China that in some cases functions at slave or near-slave levels. Communist Chinese prison camps also continue to make goods for the U.S. market, despite human rights pressure. Reconfiguring the transportation infrastructure of North America into NAFTA Superhighways or Super Corridors drastically reduces the cost of transporting the containers from China A quick look at the continental map shows the physical location of the Saskatchewan cities qualifies them to be an "inland port" because the area can function as a switching center, with easy access either to CANAMEX or to what NASCO refers to as the NASCO Corridor, the complex of Interstate Highways 35, 29 and 94. Containers can be unloaded by crane in Saskatchewan and placed in giant warehouses. There they await pick-up by truck or train to be transported to the next regional warehouse for delivery to the final destination in North America. An inland port is considered to be a "smart port" when technology – such as Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID systems – are utilized to facilitate customs clearance, security, warehouse distribution, multi-modal trans-load operations, empty container management and advanced container logistics tracking. As WND reported, the Chinese ports management firm, Hutchison Ports Holdings, is working with Lockheed Martin in a joint venture with NASCO to place RFID sensors along I-35 to track inter-modal containers from China that enter North America through the Mexican ports of Lazaro Cardenas and Manzanillo. An 87-page business analysis archived on the CISCOR website lays out the case for developing Saskatchewan as an Inland SmartPort in the following points that begin the report's Executive Summary: A majority of the new containerships entering the world fleet in the next five years will be post-Panamax vessels ready to transport cargo from China, Southeast Asia and India to North American ports already strained with capacity. The Panama Canal is approaching operational capacity and the U.S. transportation network is struggling to meet the predicted 15 percent annual rise in Asian container traffic. In response to the rapid growth in North American trade, the shift in the global freight supply chain and the increased congestion at U.S. ports and along the inter-modal system, shippers are now routing a growing share of cargo via Canadian ports. The CISCOR business report Executive Summary concludes, "Canada can serve as the North American gateway at the intersection of three powerful and shifting trade networks – the north-south North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the European-NAFTA, and the highly-utilized trans-Pacific route." "The desired result is a fully-integrated, seamless cargo transport corridor moving cargo from the ports to rail and highways and to an inland port logistics center that serves all North American markets," the CISCOR Executive Summary concludes. To open the connection to the European Union, CISCOR envisions extending the Canadian Intermodal Network to the east coast port of Halifax.

NAFTA Highway To Hell http://www.knowledgedrivenrevolution.com/Articles/200606/20060621_NAFTA_Police_State_Highway.htmJB Campbell - Rense.com Have you stopped to think about a four-hundred-yard wide no-man's land, with the usual high chain link fences, running from Mexico to Canada? This bisects the country roughly in half and will prevent unauthorized east-west travel. This "highway" is a military corridor for martial law. It will probably be an actual quarter-mile in width between the fences. On-off access will reportedly be even more controlled than an interstate highway, which is very controlled. This probably refers to an Israeli-style wall running on both sides from north to south. A four-hundred-yard wide, north-south highway? So Mexican trucks can haul Chinese slave-made products an extra two thousand miles just to get to the US border? And be able to haul them all the way to Canada? How long will it actually take to build the Mexican section of this thing? Doesn't matter, because all they want is the no-man's land down the center of the USA. How can anyone suggest that offloading ships in southern Mexico for transport to Canada is just to get around a longshoreman's union? Which American union has protected American jobs? How has any labor union threatened the gangsters who are planning martial law against American workers and their families? America has some of the biggest, most efficient ports in the world, on all three coasts. And how much of a market does Canada present for transcontinental trucking from Mexico? This is just a lying excuse to create a militarized no-man's land to cut the country in half and prevent travel from Sector East to Sector West and vice-versa. Article Posted at www.KnowledgeDrivenRevolution.com Anyone who is pushing this from an official position should be shot as a traitor to this country. There is no other way to prevent martial law from being declared against us. This is the fruit of the Council on Foreign Relations' plan to erase the borders and create one government over the US, Mexico and Canada. Guess who would be the government? The CFR guys, who are the worst traitors in our history, ever since they began planning their New World Order in 1921. They never slack off in their plan to be the dictatorship of the world, and this monstrocity is the smoking gun. Their plan is no secret: to reduce the USA down to the level of Mexico so as to remove any resistance to their dictatorship. How much more CFR crime are we going to swallow before we dismantle their rotten Pratt House headquarters in Manhattan and put them all on trial for treason? They are such renegades that the hard-core probably won't make it to trial. The hard-core should get the same treatment that they ordered for Saddam's sons. Yea, you're right on Bullseye..... Nothing to see here folks, move along!

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The NAFTA Superhighway http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/tst103006.htmOctober 30, 2006 By now many Texans have heard about the proposed “NAFTA Superhighway,” which is also referred to as the trans-Texas corridor. What you may not know is the extent to which plans for such a superhighway are moving forward without congressional oversight or media attention. This superhighway would connect Mexico, the United States, and Canada, cutting a wide swath through the middle of Texas and up through Kansas City. Offshoots would connect the main artery to the west coast, Florida, and northeast. Proponents envision a ten-lane colossus the width of several football fields, with freight and rail lines, fiber-optic cable lines, and oil and natural gas pipelines running alongside. This will require coordinated federal and state eminent domain actions on an unprecedented scale, as literally millions of people and businesses could be displaced. The loss of whole communities is almost certain, as planners cannot wind the highway around every quaint town, historic building, or senior citizen apartment for thousands of miles. Governor Perry is a supporter of the superhighway project, and Congress has provided small amounts of money to study the proposal. Since this money was just one item in an enormous transportation appropriations bill, however, most members of Congress were not aware of it. The proposed highway is part of a broader plan advanced by a quasi-government organization called the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,” or SPP. The SPP was first launched in 2005 by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco. The SPP was not created by a treaty between the nations involved, nor was Congress involved in any way. Instead, the SPP is an unholy alliance of foreign consortiums and officials from several governments. One principal player is a Spanish construction company, which plans to build the highway and operate it as a toll road. But don’t be fooled: the superhighway proposal is not the result of free market demand, but rather an extension of government-managed trade schemes like NAFTA that benefit politically-connected interests. The real issue is national sovereignty. Once again, decisions that affect millions of Americans are not being made by those Americans themselves, or even by their elected representatives in Congress. Instead, a handful of elites use their government connections to bypass national legislatures and ignore our Constitution-- which expressly grants Congress the sole authority to regulate international trade. The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union--complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union. Like the European Union, a North American Union would represent another step toward the abolition of national sovereignty altogether. A new resolution, introduced by Representative Virgil Goode of Virginia, expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a NAFTA superhighway, or enter into any agreement that advances the concept of a North American Union. I wholeheartedly support this legislation, and predict that the superhighway will become a sleeper issue in the 2008 election. Any movement toward a North American Union diminishes the ability of average Americans to influence the laws under which they must live. The SPP agreement, including the plan for a major transnational superhighway through Texas, is moving forward without congressional oversight-- and that is an outrage. The administration needs a strong message from Congress that the American people will not tolerate backroom deals that threaten our sovereignty. ..............Nothing to see here folks, move along! |

 NAFTA Superhighway RFID Card For US CitizensTrusted traveler toll road system means government will decide if, where you travelhttp://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2006/260706rfidcard.htmPaul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | July 26 2006US citizens will be forced to adopt a de-facto national identification card and have their freedom of mobility defined by behavioural fielty to the government under proposals set to derive from NAFTA superhighway toll road systems and the implementation of the American Union. Existing toll road systems operational at US borders such as SENTRI/NEXUS and the FAST program mandate that passing vehicles are enrolled in RFID passive tracking and identification programs linked to central databases. The open plan to merge the US with Mexico and Canada and create a Pan American Union networked by a NAFTA Super Highway has long been a Globalist brainchild but its very real and prescient implementation on behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations has recently come under bright spotlight. According to author Jerome Corsi, "Across the NAFTA Super-Highways will flow millions more Mexicans, now armed with North American border passes and biometric identification, as defined by the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America working groups organized within the Department of Commerce." Similar toll systems snaking their way from the southern and northern borders cutting through major American cities will force American citizens to submit to having RFID enabled identification cards which contain an ever-increasing array of information about their personal lives. Illegal aliens with cloned RFID transponders will enjoy streamlined access to the US while Americans labor under the financial burden of tolls that go directly to foreign corporations and restrictions that take the right of free travel out of their hands.To even be allowed to use major roads and highways, US citizens will be subject to a criminal background check and the government will have the ability to pinpoint their particular RFID signal and remotely block it from central computer mainframes - effectively abolishing freedom of mobility in America.Political dissidents attending protests or hurricane victims attempting to flee could find their journeys cut short at the whim of beaureacrats under the guise of 'protecting national security'. A May 2006 Homeland Security audit predicts that increasing amounts of traveller's personal information will be stored on central computer databases and readable via passive RFID tracking. It forecasts an expansion of the 'trusted traveler' system being introduced in airports to all major roads and highways. The Bush administration has embraked on a policy of selling off key US infrastructure to the highest bidder - in most cases foreign owned corporations. The Indiana Toll Road, Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, a Texas toll road from Austin to Sequin and The Chicago Skyway have all been siphoned off to foreign companies who will all enjoy billions in profits from American citizens forced to pay the tolls.The New Jersey Turnpike and the Ohio Turnpike are also under the hammer with foreign interests at the forefront of the negotiations. The framework on which the American Union is being pegged is the NAFTA Super Highway (pictured) , a four football-fields-wide leviathan that stretches from southern Mexico through the US up to Montreal Canada. An earlier Corsi article cites government websites which carry full planning details of the Super Highway and its construction has already begun in Texas with no congressional oversight whatsoever. The Trans-Texas Corridor is being overseen by The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the contract is owned by the Cintra corporation which in turn is owned by the King of Spain Juan Carlos. The project is being financed by the implementation of a toll that will be collected by means of GPS tracking devices installed in all vehicles and also envelops many connecting roads to the highway. The NAFTA Super Highway will allow vehicles, people and goods to travel from Mexico, into the heart of America and up to Canada with little impediment, effectively erasing America's borders wholesale.Coupled with Bush's blanket amnesty program, the Pan American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway are the final hammer blows for the wholesale dismantling of American sovereignty. ..............Nothing to see here folks, move along! |

NASCO Wrong On Paul's NAFTA Highway Claims12-18-2007 www.roguegovernment.comhttp://www.roguegovernment.com/news.php?id=5556Lee Rogers The North America's SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO) continues to deceive the American public on the issue of the NAFTA superhighway. In a letter written to the Des Moines Register, NASCO's executive director, Tiffany Melvin counters a piece written by Congressman Ron Paul published in the Des Moines Register in which the Congressman briefly mentions the NAFTA superhighway. It is a proven fact that the NAFTA superhighway already exists as I-35 but Melvin states that there are no plans for a new NAFTA superhighway. While that is true, that statement is ridiculous considering that NASCO openly admits that the NAFTA superhighway exists as I-35 on their web site. The Alberta government also confirms that I-35 is the NAFTA superhighway on a graphical map of the U.S. and Canada on their infrastructure and transportation web site. Considering the mission of NASCO and other associated groups to expand and improve these highways, this leaves little question that the NAFTA superhighway is I-35 and will be expanded and improved upon in order to form the finalized version of this continental highway system connecting Mexico, U.S. and Canada. Melvin's argument is the equivalent of arguing against people who say the Statue of Liberty exists by stating that there are no plans to build a new Statue of Liberty. As insane as that sounds, that is the argument Melvin is making. Ron Paul states the following regarding the NAFTA superhighway in his article. We should also reclaim our national sovereignty by first securing our borders. By now, many have heard about the proposed "NAFTA Superhighway." This superhighway would connect Mexico, the United States and Canada, cutting a wide swath through the middle of Texas and through Kansas City. One proposed path takes the superhighway right through Iowa. This superhighway can be built only by sacrificing family farms through eminent domain. In response Melvin states the following. Paul states the NAFTA superhighway will cut a wide swath through Iowa. For decades, I-35 has carried international trade with Canada, the United States and Mexico. Since the enactment of NAFTA, people have referred to the existing I-35 with the slogan "NAFTA superhighway" because it is a major north-south artery that moves a substantial amount of international trade. Recently, there have been rumors of a new NAFTA superhighway - a giant new highway being planned to link the three countries - and North America's SuperCorridor Coalition Inc.'s promotional map has been used erroneously as proof that a blueprint of the proposed giant highway is, in fact, a reality. NASCO can state unequivocally that plans for a new giant NAFTA superhighway do not exist. Our map depicts existing transportation infrastructure not drawn to scale, but enlarged for promotional purposes. Paul is confused and has tied separate initiatives together into a sinister plot to destroy the sovereignty of the United States. NASCO has nothing to do with any of his concerns. NASCO is good for Iowa. What Melvin doesn't understand is that nobody is saying that there are plans for a new NAFTA superhighway. The proposal consists of using and expanding I-35 as the NAFTA superhighway. If Paul is confused about this proposed NAFTA superhighway, why is it that information on various North American trade corridors and the NAFTA superhighway is available on various government web sites? Why is it that on NASCO's web site it states that the NAFTA superhighway already exists as I-35? It is hard to believe that the executive director of NASCO is unfamiliar with what is posted on their web site. Private organizations like the North American Forum On Integration, CANAMEX as well as different government institutions openly discuss the NAFTA superhighway proposal and other continental superhighways to facilitate the movement of goods between the three nations. Below are links to some of these sites. North American Forum On Integration's Page On North American Trade Corridors CANAMEX Corridor Alberta Government Outlining the NAFTA superhighway Trans Texas Corridor These continental superhighways will be expanded under the guise of eminent domain where many U.S. citizens could risk losing their property in the name of public good. Earlier this year, Australian toll road giant Macquarie agreed to purchase forty local newspapers in Texas and Oklahoma in order to silence critics of NAFTA superhighway expansion. Macquarie has already joined with Spanish company Cintra in a 75-year lease of 157 miles of Indiana highway. This is just a small part of a diabolical plan by traitors within our own government to sell highway infrastructure that is owned by American taxpayers over to foreign investors. These foreign investors will no doubt profit greatly from the tolls they will collect on these roads. These proposed North American trade corridors including the NAFTA superhighway are foundational building blocks towards the formation of an eventual North American Union. The Security and Prosperity Partnership outlines plans to merge and harmonize policies between all three North American nations that will be overseen by non governmental organizations and unelected bureaucrats. All of this information makes Melvin's argument of no new NAFTA superhighway a ridiculous assertion. There already is a NAFTA superhighway and nobody is saying that there are plans for a new NAFTA superhighway. The American people and Dr. Paul are concerned that the control of these roads are being transferred to foreign investors and that people's property will be seized under eminent domain when these highways are expanded. Melvin's statements are insulting to the intelligence of any free thinking person and she should stop spreading propaganda and lies in order to hide the true nature of what NASCO is a part of. ..............Nothing to see here folks, move along!

The Toll roads are also cutting off small rural towns, effectively making them Ghost towns, stealing property that has been in families for centuries. Watch Endgame! Complete theft is happening under the guise that "Its not Happening!"
We also know that existing roads have been sold to the Spanish company Cintra and Australia's Macquarie Infrastructure Group, and if you Google these two or 'Cintra to set up toll roads" you come up with toll roads from Indiana , Chicago, Forida and England, so far in a milisecond. They are a force to be reckonned with. I did not even have time to go through it all as its 2:15 my time and Im tired.
I think further research in this vein will show that we are being sold from out and under, well duh , Alex would not have put it in the movie if it werent perfectly clear. I need to watch Engame again.

Fighting Mexifascism : Invasion of Mexico / safety zone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80LQNToz6bYMade for big screen - This scenario might very well occur in this century as it has in the past. The constant violations of US sovereignty by Mexico, spurred on by a corrupt Mexifascist government, will have consequences. In addition, most Mexicans see most of the USA as belonging to Mexico. This policy - series of operations will teach them otherwise. Lasty, the inherent racism displayed by Mexicans towards Americans will be answered. 10 million mexican citizens inside the USA, undocumented, who believe the southwest USA is part of Mexico. They believe in mexican racial pride and superiority, and want to deport "white europeans" off the North-American continent

Cocaine Jet That Crashed in Mexico Part of Cowboy Government Operation, DEA Sources Claim
Mexican Officials Fear the Case, if Exposed, Could Jeopardize US Funding for “Plan Mexico”
http://www.narconews.com/Issue48/article2941.html
By Bill Conroy Special to The Narco News Bulletin December 19, 2007The Gulfstream II jet that crash landed in the Mexican Yucatan in late September carrying close to four tons of cocaine was part of an operation being carried out by a Department of Homeland Security agency, DEA sources have revealed to Narco News. The operation, codenamed “Mayan Express,” is an ongoing effort spearheaded by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the sources claim. The information surfaced during a high-level meeting at DEA headquarters in mid-December, DEA sources familiar with the meeting assert. Those sources have requested anonymity out of fear they will be retaliated against by the government for revealing the information. The operation also appears to be badly flawed, the sources say, because it is being carried out unilaterally, (Rambo-style), by ICE and without the knowledge of the Mexican government — at least it was up until the point of the coke-packed Gulfstream jet’s abrupt impact with the Earth. “This is a case of ICE running amok,” one DEA source told Narco News. “If this [operation] was being run by the book, they would not be doing it unilaterally” – without the participation of DEA – “and without the knowledge of the Mexican government.” The fact that the Gulfstream was forced to ditch over the Yucatan after being refused landing clearance at two Mexican airports is strong evidence that this operation, if ICE operated as alleged, does not have the proper controls in place, law enforcement sources told Narco News. If the operation was being adequately monitored and controlled by U.S. law enforcement, in coordination with Mexican authorities, the jet would have been directed to a safe landing zone, they add. Mexican law enforcers subsequently apprehended the two pilots of the downed jet. Neither one of them appears to be a U.S. citizen, according to Mexican press accounts. Narco News has previously reported that the bill of sale for the Gulfstream jet — which was sold only weeks before its crash landing — lists an individual named Greg Smith, whose name also shows up in public documents that indicate he worked as a pilot in the past for an operation involving the FBI, DEA and CIA that targeted narco-traffickers in Colombia. [See link here.] Mexican authorities interrogated the pilots of the ill-fated cocaine jet prior to turning them over to DEA agents for questioning. DEA confirmed that it is now handling the investigation into the jet crash and subsequent seizure of the cocaine. It appears that the pilots spilled the beans on the ICE operation during their interrogation by Mexican authorities, DEA sources tell Narco News. The meeting held at DEA headquarters was focused, in part, on assessing the implications of that information. The Mexican government has chosen not to raised a stink over the matter, the DEA sources claim, for fear of jeopardizing the pending $1.4 billion U.S. aid package promised as part of the proposed “Mérida Iinitiative” — commonly known as “Plan Mexico,” which will provide a Christmas list of training and equipment to the Mexican government to battle “drug cartels.” Mexican law enforcement authorities recently arrested an alleged money launder, Pedro Alfonso Alatorre Damy, who they contend is linked to the Sinaloa narco-trafficking organization. They claim the narco-trafficking organization financed the purchases of the Gulfstream II as well as a DC-9 jet that was busted by Mexican authorities last April with a payload of some 5.5 tons of cocaine. Both jets were sold while parked at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, according to a recent report by Howard Altman of the Tampa Tribune. So, there is clearly a connection between the two jets. The thread that ties the Sinaloa organization, Greg Smith and the U.S. federal agencies that appear to have been involved together, however, remains very unclear. Did the cartel hire Smith and Clyde O’Connor (the other individual listed on the Gulfstream’s bill of sale) to handle the plane’s purchase, unaware that it was falling into a sting? Was the Sinaloa organization’s connection to the planes simply invented by authorities as part of a cover-up of the operation? Or is there another explanation yet to be found? The alleged involvement of ICE in a unilateral counter-narcotics operation in a foreign nation is unusual (though not unprecedented) because DEA is supposed to be the lead U.S. agency in such efforts. ICE, however, generated a major controversy when it ran an operation several years ago targeting the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes (VCF) narco-trafficking organization in Juarez, Mexico. As part of that operation, ICE placed an informant (a former Mexican cop) inside a VCF cell in Juarez and continued the operation even after ICE agents became aware of their informant’s participation in murder. That case, since dubbed the House of Death resulted in some 12 people being tortured, murdered and buried in the back yard of a house in Juarez – all in an effort to make a drug case against a VCF lieutenant. As is alleged with the current Mayan Express operation, ICE officials were accused of running the House of Death case unilaterally and going to great lengths to conceal information about their informant and the murders from the Mexican government. ICE public affairs officials in Washington, D.C., failed to reply to several inquiries (by phone and e-mail) from Narco News seeking comment on the alleged Mayan Express operation. Narco News also contacted Steve Robertson, a special agent assigned to DEA public affairs in Washington, D.C., for comment about the allegation that the Gulfstream II jet that crashed in Mexico in late September with some four tons of coke onboard was, in fact, part of an ICE operation. Robertson’s response:I can’t confirm or deny that it was an ICE operation — even if I knew it was the case, and I’m not saying it’s true. Our Mexico City office is working an investigation on it now. It started after the seizure [the jet crash]. It’s an ongoing investigation. … It was not a DEA operation. The briefings I’ve gotten is that our investigation started after the seizure. Out of ControlThe structure of the Mayan Express operation, as outlined by the DEA sources, puzzles law enforcement officials contacted by Narco News. The operation appears to be playing out in Mexico and Colombia (where the cocaine was picked up) absent any tight law enforcement controls. As a result, the law enforcers agree, any criminal cases that might result from the effort likely could only be pursued once the cocaine entered the United States via an ICE-controlled delivery point, given the laws governing complex international narcotics investigations. The apparent lack of control of the operation south of the U.S. border also raises questions as to how much of the cocaine made its way into the United States unchecked due to the mechanizations of crafty informants and assets involved in the operation or the indifference of federal agents looking to advance a career-boosting case. In the case of the House of Death, the informant actually smuggled a 100 pounds of marijuana across the U.S. border behind the backs of his ICE handlers, yet ICE continued to use the informant. The bottom line, though, according to the DEA sources who leaked the information to Narco News, is that the real purpose of the Mayan Express operation remains unclear, as does the volume of drugs involved in the operation to date. Spooks at the LeversOne proposition that all of the law enforcers who spoke with Narco News agreed on with respect to the Mayan Express is that even if DEA was precluded from participating in the effort, the CIA almost certainly was involved on some level. They say no law enforcement operation is carried out overseas without the CIA lurking in the background. Some U.S. media have reported that the Gulfstream II jet that crashed in Mexico in September is suspected of possible links to the CIA’s terrorist rendition program and that the aircraft made several trips to Guantanamo Bay in years past — prior to being enlisted as a cocaine transport plane.  The Gulfstream II with tail number N987SA, one month before it crashed in the Yucatán peninsula.- Photo D.R. 2007 George N. Dean, Airliners.netConfirming that information independently has proven difficult, but Narco News did find a report from a British government agency that lists the Gulfstream II’s registration number (N987SA) among the aircraft registration numbers European investigators were interested in obtaining more information about in relation to a probe into CIA rendition flights. Information on N987SA — along with a number of other jets — was released to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in June 2006 by Britain’s Department of Transport. From the British agency’s Web site:On 7 April the Government published flight plan data received from Eurocontrol, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation, concerning the movement of certain US aircraft into or out of UK aerodromes since 1 January 2001. This data had previously been released by Eurocontrol to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to assist with its enquiry into allegations of “extraordinary rendition” flights operating within Europe. It provided information on the aircraft’s type, registration number, date and time of flight, point of origin and destination and recorded user’s name. It did not however contain information about any passengers on board or the purpose of the flight. Since the disclosure of that initial flight plan data, the Council of Europe’s enquiry broadened to include investigations into a number of additional US registered aircraft. Further flight plan information was therefore sought from Eurocontrol concerning the movement of these newly identified aircraft to and from European aerodromes…. Attorney Mark Conrad, a former high-level supervisory Customs agent who has an extensive background in the intelligence world, has no problem entertaining a CIA scenario in the Gulfstream II narco-world saga. Though he stresses that he has no knowledge of the Mayan Express operation, Conrad says based on its description, he suspects the CIA could even be running the show. Conrad says in recent years, ICE’s investigative talent has defected in droves from the agency due to Homeland Security’s obsessive focus on what he describes as a “snatch and grab” mission targeting undocumented immigrants. As a result, he told Narco News:It [the Mayan Express] makes no sense and it makes perfect sense. There probably aren’t six people left at ICE who could put an operation like this together. It could well be a CIA operation working under ICE cover. Conrad says such a “cover” approach is not a crazy conspiracy theory. He adds that when he was with U.S. Customs — which has since become part of ICE — the CIA placed one of its agents in Japan with Customs credentials as a cover. Though speculation, such a structure could provide the Agency with the clearance it needed to carry out the operation stateside and a convenient scapegoat if the operation imploded — along with plenty of plausible deniability. It wouldn’t be the first time that the CIA has been accused of running rough shod over law enforcement priorities. In the early 1990s, the CIA ran a spook mission designed to infiltrate Colombian narco-trafficking groups that resulted in at least a ton of cocaine — some estimates put the figure much higher — entering the United States unchecked. The former head of the DEA, Robert Bonner, incensed at the Agency’s actions, which were carried out over DEA’s objections, went on national TV at the time and essentially accused the CIA of engaging in drug trafficking. The CIA operation, which was carried out with the assistance of the Venezuelan National Guard, unraveled after U.S. Customs seized a load of the dope in Miami. So, one way to avoid a repeat of that mistake in an operation like the alleged Mayan Express, assuming it is a CIA-run effort, is to use Customs (ICE) as a cover for the operation, one law enforcer suggests. Whatever the Mayan Express is designed to accomplish, the DEA sources who came forward with this information did so because they are convinced that the operation could jeopardize future legitimate law enforcement efforts overseas, but that official Washington will do whatever it can to cover-up the mess. Congress could get to the bottom of these allegations, if it chose to, but the DEA sources contend that the Mayan Express has delivered a can of worms to their doorstep that no one wants to open during this election season. Stay tuned….

Interstate to heaven? Evangelicals pray for 'highway of holiness'David Edwards and Jason Rhyne Published: Thursday December 20, 2007 http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Evangelicals_JFK_assassination_linked_to_Interstate_1220.html A devout group of evangelical Christians in the Midwest are flocking to help purify a spot they believe the Bible has ordained as holy ground -- and it happens to be 1,500 miles of interstate asphalt. Why the location? According to CNN, the small contingent of churchgoers believe that Interstate 35, a sprawling highway running from Texas to Minnesota, is specifically mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, chapter 35. "A highway shall be there, and a road," reads a portion of the chapter's verse eight, "and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it..." But if I-35 is indeed the place, some Christians believe there's a lot of work to be done before the road can fulfill it's saintly destiny, according to CNN's Gary Tuchman, who was on the scene in Texas as believers launched an effort to pray for the road. "Churchgoers in all six states recently finished 35 days of praying alongside Interstate 35, but the prayers are still continuing," reports Tuchman. "Some of the faithful believe that in order to fulfill the prophecy of I-35 being the 'holy' highway, it needs some intensive prayer first. So we watched as about 25 fervent and enthusiastic Christians prayed on the the interstate's shoulder in Dallas." Their prayers go out for safer neighborhoods, "more godliness" and also in hopes that businesses lining the highway, including strip clubs and other "unclean" establishments, might clean up their act. Tuchman says the faithful also point to "a link between the area near this highway and tragedies that have happened in history, such as the bridge collapse on I-35 in Minneapolis last August and the assassination of JFK 44 years ago near I-35 in Dallas." "We just want to say 'wow, why would this happen on one highway,'" one of the prayer campaign's organizers, Cindy Jacobs, told CNN. "Let's pray that there be safety for everyone on these highways." Helping to publicize the groups' efforts is Christian televangelist Pat Robertson, who has featured the I-35 prayers on his Christian Broadcasting Network. "What an amazing story," said Robertson. "Well, wouldn't that be wonderful... cut a line right down the middle of America and let it spread to both coasts."

Tuchman: Hitting the road (literally) with some faithfulhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/19/btsc.tuchman.roadsideprayer/index.html?iref=newssearchBy Gary Tuchman CNN Editor's note: In our Behind the Scenes series, CNN correspondents share their experiences in covering news and analyze the stories behind the events. Here, Gary Tuchman talks about covering people praying on what they call America's "holy highway." DALLAS, Texas (CNN) -- If you turn to the Bible -- Isaiah Chapter 35, Verse 8 -- you will see a passage that in part says, "A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness." Churchgoers in six states have held prayer sessions along the side of Interstate 35. Now, is it possible that this "highway" mentioned in Chapter 35 is actually Interstate 35 that runs through six U.S. states, from southern Texas to northern Minnesota? Some Christians have faith that is indeed the case. It was with that interesting belief in mind that we decided to head to Texas, the southernmost state in the I-35 corridor, to do a story about a prayer campaign called "Light the Highway." Churchgoers in all six states recently finished 35 days of praying alongside Interstate 35, but the prayers are still continuing. Some of the faithful believe that in order to fulfill the prophecy of I-35 being the "holy" highway, it needs some intensive prayer first. So we watched as about 25 fervent and enthusiastic Christians prayed on the the interstate's shoulder in Dallas. They chanted loudly and vibrantly, making many people in the neighborhood wonder what was going on. They prayed that adult businesses along the corridor would "see the light" and perhaps close down. They prayed for safety and freedom from crime for people who lived along the interstate. They prayed that all Americans would accept Jesus into their lives. Watch believers offer prayers » The woman who came up with the concept of "Light the Highway" is a Texas minister named Cindy Jacobs. She says she can't be sure Interstate 35 really is what is mentioned in the Bible but says she received a revelation to start this campaign after "once again reading Isaiah, Chapter 35." Jacobs also points out that perhaps there is a link between the area near this highway and tragedies that have happened in history, such as the bridge collapse on I-35 in Minneapolis last August and the assassination of JFK 44 years ago near I-35 in Dallas. That's why prayer certainly can't hurt, she adds. Now, it's only fair to say most people, the religious and the non-religious alike, don't buy any of this, but none more than the owners of some of the adult businesses along I-35. At an adult go-go club, the owner tells us he resents people trying to impose their will on others. And he says his club holds fundraisers, food drives and toy drives to help the community. But on the side of the road, the prayerful aren't going to change their minds. Holy highways and nude clubs, they believe, are not a combination God has in mind.

Lawmakers move to block Trans-Texas CorridorBy Jason Embry | Tuesday, March 6, 2007, 06:07 PM http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/legislature/entries/2007/03/06/lawmakers_move_to_block_transtexas_corridor.htmlMembers of the House and Senate filed legislation Tuesday that would put a moratorium on the Trans Texas Corridor. The legislation would be a major rebuke of Gov. Rick Perry’s transportation policy. One Senate source said the legislation on that side of the Capitol has the signature of 25 of the 30 senators. The House legislation was filed by Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham. “We think there are serious and significant issues with the Trans Texas Corridor process and have serious questions with regard to the privatization of roadways in Texas,” said Rep. Dan Gattis, R-Georgetown. ..........move along folks, nothing here.

Trans Texas Corridor aka Trans Texas Horrordorhttp://salon.glenrose.net/somnewsttc.aspTexans whose homes lie in the path of the approved Trans Texas Corridor route will have them taken via eminent domain... for a private, foreign company named Cintra. TTC (Trans Texas Corridor) is a toll road being built, not for the benefit of Texans, but to be able to bring in cheap goods from Central America, China, etc, through ports in Mexico. TTC is merely one leg of the Nafta Superhighway that goes from the west side of Mexico up to Canada (see the link for Nafta Superhighway at left). Kansas City Smart Port plans to bypass American ports-trucks would come from Mexico, quickly pass via Smartpass through the Mexico/Texas border and be inspected.... in... Kansas City. One other element of this. Bush, in 2005, signed a treaty with Mexico and Canada to create a North American Union called SPP. Don't recall Congress advising and consenting to that treaty which effectively guts the sovereignty of the United States in favor of corporatist free trade. ........... nothing here.........

Thus begins the Trans Texas Corridor http://www.offthekuff.com/mt/archives/004625.htmlI haven't blogged much about the Trans Texas Corridor before, but with the announcement yesterday that an agreement has been reached to build the first piece of the corridor, a toll road between San Antonio and Dallas, I think there will be a lot to say in the future. The long-term partnership with the consortium, led by Spanish toll road operator Cintra and San Antonio-based Zachry Construction Corp., is at once shockingly new for Texas and historically familiar. Spaniards, after all, built the first road in Texas, the El Camino Real about four centuries ago, some of it in the same corridor where Interstate 35 now lies and where Cintra and its partners would start the turnpike. But handing over a major state highway project to private operators, this in a state that could not even build toll roads until recent years, breaks new policy ground. [...] The consortium, in the first phase of what could be a decades-long partnership, would construct more than 300 miles of four-lane turnpike (with ample room for expansion) from the Oklahoma border to the east side of San Antonio, leaving a gap only for Texas 130 near Austin. The road would tie into the south and north ends of Texas 130, a tollroad currently under construction by Lone Star Infrastructure. Lone Star's primary partner is Fluor Enterprises Inc., which was the lowest ranked of the three bidders Thursday. [...] Officials expect that construction could start on the first segment from the south end of Texas 130 to San Antonio by 2007. The other four segments would begin in 2009 and 2010, with completion of the entire route by the end of 2014. Cintra and Zachry, along with about 16 other subcontractors, would also build other segments of the I-35 alternative, including a connection to Mexico either through the Rio Grande Valley or Laredo sometime after 2025. The "conceptual" plan submitted by Cintra recommended that extension go to the Valley (rather than the hometown of the man Perry defeated in 2002, Tony Sanchez), but a final decision on that route is likely years away. The specific path of the entire project, in fact, is still a work in progress. The Transportation Department, in conjunction with Cintra and federal highway regulators, plans to narrow that route down to a 10-mile-wide corridor by late spring. The final route would likely be as close as possible to urban centers, officials said, but still far enough enough to be largely free of city traffic. [...] Just how Cintra and Zachry can afford to lay out $7.2 billion, and still make a profit remained unclear Thursday. Jose Lopez, United States and Latin America director for Cintra, said the toll rates would be comparable to current Texas toll rates, which generally fall between 10 cents and 20 cents a mile for passenger cars and three to four times that for large trucks. And he said the company's financial plan did not include making money off concessions along the roads such as fast food restaurants, souvenir stores or gas stations. Cintra and Zachry believe that if they build it, the drivers will come. One possible incentive: the 2003 legislation that allowed the state to build the Trans-Texas Corridor, or let someone else build and operate it, allows speed limits on the road of up to 85 miles per hour. I'll come back to some of these points in a minute. But for now, here's a question to ponder: What's the per-mile cost of the gasoline tax? My understanding is it's about a penny a mile. You'll be paying a lot more than that to drive on the Perry Pike. Here's what the Express News has to add. The Trans Texas Corridor is huge and costly. The $184 billion endeavor is eventually supposed to crisscross the state with 4,000 miles of 10-lane highways and rail lines in swaths up to a quarter-mile wide. Officials will have to charge tolls to finance bonds and pay for operations and maintenance. They'll also have to confiscate farmlands and wildlife areas. "This is just one of those things that is painful and there's not an awful lot we can do about it," said commission Chairman Ric Williamson. Motorists now pay from 10 cents to 20 cents a mile to use toll roads in Houston and Dallas, and Cintra says that will be a starting point to decide its fees on the route it will build along Interstate 35. Cintra will have to rely on traffic congestion on I-35 to drive frustrated motorists to its toll lanes. As a result, Texas will likely limit expansion of the interstate — probably to six lanes — to ensure a lucrative market for the company. "They need to have an expectation that they can get a profit," Williamson said. "And we shouldn't be ashamed of that." Besides, Williamson added, the Transportation Department couldn't afford to do much more on I-35 anyway. Buying up all that farmland is the reason why the Texas Farm Bureau rescinded its endorsement of the TTC. Taking all that land off of the tax rolls is going to have a big effect on many rural counties, just as the Katy Freeway expansion here has devastated Spring Valley. Is Cintra going to kick back any of its profits to help them out? Don't be silly. Another fun thought from the Star Telegram: Cintra officials said tolls will probably be similar to current rates on such roads as Dallas' President George Bush Turnpike. At 20 cents per mile, a trip from Fort Worth to Austin would cost about $40 each way, but the toll would be higher for trucks and other vehicles with more than two axles. The road would be open to all traffic, but the emphasis would be on getting large trucks off congested highways. Trans Texas Corridor supporters predict that trucking companies will pay tolls for a reliable, high-speed road. The projected speed limit on the Trans Texas Corridor is 85 mph, and trucks would be allowed to carry 50 percent more cargo. Maybe truckers will be willing to shell out $40 or more to haul from San Antonio to Dallas, maybe not. I guess it depends in large part on how much time they can save by doing so. It'd be nice to know if anyone has empirical reasons and not just hope for thinking this would be true. Oh, and doesn't the idea of sharing the ride with supersized rigs tooling along at 85 MPH just make you want to rush right out onto that new toll road? I shudder to think what the casualty rate is going to be like. One last thing, getting back to all the land that will have to be bought up before any concrete is poured: Better start buying now, or risk seeing huge cost overruns come construction time. Trans Texas Corridor: Visionary concept or a train wreck for agriculture?
It depends on who you ask!http://www.txfb.org/TexasAgriculture/2005/031805/031805TTCpart3.htmTexans fear US sovereignty will disappear down superhighwayhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/03/04/wroad04.xmlTrans-Texas Corridor draws more opponents http://www.landlinemag.com/todays_news/Daily/2007/Mar07/032607/032607-05.htmTrans Texas Corridor route would remove thousands of farm acres from productionhttp://southwestfarmpress.com/news/092106-texas-corridor/The NAFTA super highwayhttp://www.townhall.com/columnists/PatrickJBuchanan/2006/08/29/the_nafta_super_highway................so many articles, so little time..

The Washington Post threw in a little bit on Ron Paul to try and debunk the NAFTA superhighway. They lay siege to the other candidates' claims, but mysteriously don't offer evidence contrary to Dr. Paul's. THE FACT CHECKER Sorting Truth From Campaign Fictionhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/29/AR2007122901847.html?wpisrc=newsletterBy Michael Dobbs Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, December 30, 2007; Page A01 Mitt Romney says he "saw" his father "march" with Martin Luther King Jr. Rudolph W. Giuliani claims that he is one of the "five best-known Americans in the world." According to John McCain, the Constitution established the United States as a "Christian nation." Ron Paul believes that a "NAFTA superhighway" is being planned to link Mexico with Canada and undermine U.S. sovereignty.... All those claims, made over the past four months as part of the presidential campaign, are demonstrably false. |
