Try as hard as you like to learn about the world through books, education or any conventional means, there will still be a wealth of knowledge outside your grasp. That is, if you’re just like me, a normal citizen trying to make it in this world.

There is a whole realm above ours, one that is above even the rich. That realm belongs to the tiny percentage of elites that own a disproportionate slice of the pie who have the ability to make sure they will always have the greatest share. People below that level will probably never get a full grasp of what these elites do and what their intentions are. At best you can get a glimmer. We can always speculate though, can’t we?

All sorts of malevolent deeds have been attributed to the elites; JFK’s assassinations, the 9/11 attack or whatever incident that has unanswered questions. Conspiracies dealing with events such as those will never be solved unless “they” want them solved, but some conspiracies are right before your eyes. These conspiracies can hardly be called that, they are more like the way the world is headed and the elites don’t have to meet behind closed doors to get it them in motion. These plans are the result of the discussions of elite organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations or think tanks that usher in new ideas.

The North American Union is a good example of the plan right before the public’s eye. Free trade has been the prerogative of almost every nation since the end of World War Two and the NAU is a manifestation of these policies. The core tenets of the North American Union are an extension of the North American Free Trade Agreement; meaning the further widening of the flow of capital, products and labor between the three member nations. Other propositions that come along with the union include a common transit and communication system, and more importantly, a common currency.

At first glance this does not sound like an evil plan being thrown upon us, the ignorant populace, and it may not be. The union does have the potential to improve the lives of every citizen in the US, Canada and Mexico, but more than likely it will produce what free trade has done wherever it is implemented: the rich get richer and the poor are marginalized even further.

The European Union is the only economic union to have existed, and is certainly not seen as an evil plan foisted by a cabal of billionaires. The difference between the EU and the potential NAU is the equality among its member nations. No nation is allowed to be a member of the EU if they do not meet the economic and social standards and every nation that is a member is relatively on the same economic level. The difference between the US & Canada’s economies and Mexico’s are grand in comparison. The US and Canada have a majority of mid to upper echelon jobs that require education higher than high school or an undergraduate degree, while Mexico has mostly laborers with little to no schooling.

If these three nations’ economies were allowed to progress naturally, their standards would eventually reach a point where an economic union would be beneficial to the rich and poor of all three nations. The US is not producing as many engineers or scientists and the size of the uneducated lower class are swelling. Mexico is slowly but surely improving. However, right now and in the next decade or so, a North American Union would only serve to increase the wealth of multinational corporations that have no regard for the nations they operate in.

Mexico still has a vast amount of natural resources that are yet to be harvested. There are several oil fields in the desert and off the coast ready to be tapped, but require sophisticated drilling technology that the state run oil company does not have. There are minerals yet to be mined, and agricultural fields that could be improved with modern techniques. Multinational corporations are dying to get their hands around these resources, but are prevented by regulations. These regulations would be eliminated in a heartbeat if an economic union were implemented. Although this sounds favorable toward Mexico, it is doubtful it would reap the full benefits of its resources if they are harvested in this fashion. A slower economic buildup and an easing of trade restrictions would be the better option if these hard to reach resources are to profit the people who live on the land in which they are located.

There are several reasons why a union between the three North American nations would be a detriment to the majority of the populace in each country, but let’s not get bogged down on the specifics. It is sufficient to say that at this time, a union is not something the average American/Mexican/Canadian wants. The union is something that will probably happened down the road, but most likely will happen in your children’s lifetime(if you’re my age, 24). If there is a conspiracy involved with the North American Union, it would be the hasty realization of the union. At this moment, only the uber rich and shareholders in multinational corporations would reap the benefits, and those people are the elites mentioned at the beginning.

In order to speed up the process of creating a union, a raison d’etre needs to happen, or be produced. There must be a reason for the US and/or Canada to get involved with the workings of Mexican government. It is less than likely that Mexico would have any sort of reason to interfere with the US or Canada. Something must happen that would necessitate the international community, with the US spearheading the operation, to inject itself into Mexico; a reason for a quasi-nation building.

The past year or so, the word ‘failed state’ has been bandied around in the media and by some US politicians to describe the Mexican government. The basis for such a bold accusation is the escalating drug war being waged in Mexico, and occasionally spilling over onto the US side of the border. Using the trusty tool of fear, sentiment about Mexico’s situation and its possible international repercussions have put Mexico in the spotlight. The world, or more importantly the US, looks at Mexico to see what they are doing to remedy their problems. Problems that are so ‘terrible’, that it could collapse as a government, wreaking havoc that could interfere with the US and Canada.

There is your rationale for the US to step into Mexico: a problem that Mexico can’t solve by itself and requires foreign assistance. Foreign assistance that will probably make huge institutional changes that may or may not have to do with the problem at hand. Institutional changes that become permanent, that will make the country more receptive to the free trade aspects of an economic union.

Luckily, it seems that the drug war has not escalated enough to become an impetus for US involvement on the Mexican side of the war. That doesn’t mean that there won’t be one tomorrow or next year. There could be another influenza outbreak, a natural disaster that wreaks the population and economy. Anything could pop up, and if there is a cabal of elites pulling the strings of globalism, you know they’ll be there as soon as it’s feasible.

Globalism is the open conspiracy before your eyes. It is a policy that all but ensures that the elites stay at the top. How it get’s executed is the conspiracy. Just pay attention and it becomes clear.
