In the midst of the current presidential race, American voters are
being denied information regarding alleged plans to merge the three nations
of North America -- the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Not only are most political leaders in both major parties failing to
discuss allegations of an impending North American Union, but the mainstream
news media are failing to examine what promises to be THE major news story
of the 21st Century.

Meanwhile, the Mexican government has revealed to its own citizens
that Mexico has entered extensive discussions with government officials in
Texas and top representatives from the Bush administration to extend what it
called the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico, with a plan to connect to the
Mexican ports on the Pacific, including Manzanillo and Lazaro Cardenas.

In fact, the official website of the Mexican northeastern state of
Nuevo León contains multiple reports that José Natividad Gonzáles Parás,
governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo León, has actively discussed these
plans with numerous US government officials, including Texas' state and
local officeholders.

"All one needs to do is to look at the social mass viewpoint on
Americans themselves by their own media as well as media outlets in other
countries," Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning actor Michael Moriarty told
NewsWithViews.com during an exclusive interview.

"Americans are looked at [sic] majoritively speaking, as gun-toting,
constitution quoting, trigger happy [sic] misinformee's. Yet, carrying a gun
is the first and foremost sign of being a truly free person. The view that
Americans are stupid is a widely held one, yet they are one of the last
bastions of freedom left to view," added the former Law & Order star.

Texas Governor Rick Perry, Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters and
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice all discussed the extension of the
Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico to create what's called a "Trans North
America Corridor."

In fact, just last August during a trip to Mexico, Perry made news in
the conservative news media by calling the idea of building a fence along
the US-Mexico border "idiocy."

"Largely unreported in the American press were meetings Perry held in
Mexico with Gonzáles Parás in which the two discussed extending the corridor
into Mexico," said Moriarty.

"In their private meetings, the pair thoroughly discussed extending
Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico," said Moriarty during his NWV interview.

"We have had interaction with the governor of Texas," Gonzáles Parás
said on the government web site. "We have had a very productive relationship
with Rick Perry, who is also interested in what we can do to continue that
which is known as the Trans-Texas Corridor, that in reality is the corridor
of North America, the Trans North America Corridor, that includes railroads,
bridges, passenger automobile highways, and truck highway lanes."

Gonzáles Parás further explained the extension of TTC-35 into Mexico
would connect through Monterrey, a city which he suggested would function as
a hub for truck-freight traffic. Monterrey is the capital of Nuevo León.

"One of the themes that merited the most attention on the part of the
two governors was the development of the infrastructure needed for the
competitive development of the region as it relates to developing the
Trans-Texas Corridor in connection with the project we call the Corridor of
Northeastern Mexico," the Nuevo León government web site reported Gonzáles
Parás saying Sept. 1, at the conclusion of Perry's visit.

"Gonzáles Parás is reportedly pursuing plans to establish Monterrey as
an 'inland port' where international container freight cargo, largely
delivered into Mexico via the Mexican ports on the Pacific, could be
transported via a Trans North America Corridor into the United States via
Laredo, Texas," claims Moriarty, who's been following this story closely.

Once on I-35, the Mexican trucks transporting the Chinese containers
could travel north, heading toward US inland ports are being established by
the Free Trade Alliance San Antonio in San Antonio and in Kansas City by the
Kansas City SmartPort.

On May 24, Gonzáles Parás announced during his meetings in Austin,
Perry had agreed the envisioned Trans North America Corridor would pass
through Laredo and connect with San Antonio, just as Mexico ultimately
planned to extend the superhighway south into Colombia.

"We have also worked in Monterrey to create an inland port, a
metropolitan center for moving rapidly the commercial traffic from Monterrey
to the inland port at San Antonio," Gonzáles Parás said in the
state-published interview.

"For this strategic project to be accomplished, we have been working
with the federal government in Mexico as well as holding discussions with
the secretary of transportation and the secretary of state in the United
States," he said.

Similar comments made by Gonzáles Parás at a press conference in
Mexico that first announced Transportes Olympic had been selected as the
first trucking firm to cross the border in the Mexican truck-demonstration
project.
In speaking to the group assembled at the company's headquarters,
Gonzáles Parás announced the Trans-Texas Corridor was not just the NAFTA
Superhighway, but "the Logistical Trans-Corridor of North America," uniting
Mexico, the United States and Canada.

He next announced the time had arrived to declare a North American
Economic Community. Gonzáles Parás explained the Trans-Texas Corridor was
more accurately known in Mexico as the "Logistical Trans-Corridor of North
America."

"I want to let you know how much we in this border state of Nuevo León
have been working with our neighbor state of Texas," he said, "making
agreements which permit us to enrich what in Texas is called the
'Trans-Texas Corridor,' but what we in Mexico know as the 'Logistical
Corridor of North America.'"

"We, Canada, and the United States have to perfect this Logistical
Trans-Corridor of North America for our mutual benefit," Gonzáles Parás
continued.

He expanded his vision of a Logistical Corridor of North America to
include the construction of a train and truck corridor that would cut
through the heart of North America.

As far as a NAFTA Superhighway, the first segment is the planned
four-football-fields-wide Trans-Texas Corridor which the Texas Department of
Transportation plans to build parallel to Interstate 35.

"At the recent Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
(SPP) third summit held in Montebello, Quebec, President Bush and Canada's
Prime Minister Stephen Harper ridiculed the idea that SPP might result in
the creation of a North American Union or NAFTA Superhighways," said
Moriarty.

"However, these reports written in Spanish and published on the Nuevo
León government website suggest that discussions about extending TTC-35 into
Mexico are much further advanced that have been admitted by the Bush
administration or reported upon in the US mainstream media," Moriarty added.

The well-known actor and musician takes a dim view of America's future
if the current trend continues unabated.

"The Old World Order is now legally dead, but is still on life support
in America. The old world was about individual freedom and protection of the
family unit and the family of countrymen. The New World Order is about the
loss of sovereign rights given by God, and the replacement of those rights
with freedoms handed out by man, or "the world government" such as the
United Nations," said Moriarty.

"The New World Order is alive and well today and has been for quite
sometime. The founding of International Banking Cartels, Foreign Relations
advisers and the creation of a World Court were all the political egg and
semen needed to begin the pregnancy, global crisis (real or fabricated) was
all that was needed to give birth to the dreams of powerful men."
Meanwhile, the Mexican government has revealed to its own citizens
that Mexico has entered extensive discussions with government officials in
Texas and top representatives from the Bush administration to extend what it
called the Trans-Texas Corridor into Mexico...
Hitler Meets Christ, A Michael Moriarty film.

Michael Moriarty, the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning star of Law
& Order, is set to premiere his much anticipated film Hitler Meets Christ at
the 17th Annual Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California.

A dark comedy exploring the polar philosophies of two of the most
controversial figures in human history, Hitler Meets Christ stars Moriarty
as Hitler and Canadian actor Wyatt Page as Christ. Moriarty adapted the
screenplay from a controversial play he wrote in New York in the early 90s
(then called Hitler and Christ Meet Death at the Port Authority Bus
Terminal). The film has already generated sizable online interest due to
both its risky characterization and the recent crop of films and novels
centered on Hitler and the Holocaust.

According to Moriarty, the film is about the tenacity of Christ and
his love — and Hitler's agony in the face of it. "It ultimately comes down
to good and evil," says Moriarty. "And the two greatest, most polar
opposites of good and evil are Jesus of Nazareth and Adolf Hitler of
Germany... It's a comedy in as much as it allows the audience to laugh at
Hitler, and it's a tragedy in that he's really a poor homeless man trapped
and imprisoned by the soul of Hitler."

Shot on location in some of the darkest neighborhoods of Vancouver,
Canada, Hitler Meets Christ was directed by newcomer Brendan Keown and
produced by Keown and Jeremy Dyson, whose previous production credits
include the award-winning Dark Arc (2005).

Moriarty has starred in Law & Order (1990-1994), The 4400 (2004),
Shiloh (1997), Pale Rider (1985), Holocaust (1978) and Bang the Drum Slowly
(1973). He received his most recent Emmy Award in 2003 for the television
movie James Dean.

NAFTA Super Highway Extends North

NAFTA superhighway extends north
Plan under way in Texas will extend to Oklahoma, Colorado

A NAFTA superhighway plan under way in Texas will be extended to Oklahoma and Colorado, stretching the four-lane, train-truck-car-pipeline corridor from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas, to Denver, reports WND columnist Jerome Corsi, whose new investigative book, “The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada,” has just been released.

As WND has reported, the Federal Highway Administration is promoting public-private partnership projects to expand superhighway projects, consistent with extending the Trans-Texas Corridor network north.

The plan is for the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado to apply the TTC toll road concept first developed by the Texas DOT to largely rural areas along the Ports-to-Plains Corridor.

To advance this plan, the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition – sponsored by the consulates of Mexico and Canada along with the Texas and Colorado transportation departments – is co-sponsoring a “Great Plains 2007″ international conference Sept. 19-21 at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Denver.

The brochure recommends the conference be attended by real estate developers, transportation planners, highway services business executives, as well as state, local, county and municipal public officials and international trade professionals.

An April Texas DOT study on the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition website documents the tie between the two groups.

The study says the Ports-to-Plains Corridor offers an opportunity to apply the Trans-Texas Corridor technology to NAFTA superhighway development in rural settings. It concludes by recommending new highway construction be undertaken parallel to the existing Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor route in order to apply the superhighway design north through Oklahoma into Colorado.

As WND previously reported, the $180 billion needed to build the 4,000 mile Trans-Texas Corridor network over the next 50 years will be financed by Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a foreign investment consortium based in Spain. Cintra will own the leasing and operating rights on TTC highways for 50 years after construction is complete.

A press release on the Texas DOT website confirms the agency is looking for a public-private-partnership to help finance the construction of the Ports-to-Plains Corridor.

WND also has reported Texas Gov. Rick Perry has received substantial campaign contributions from Cintra and Zachry Construction Company, the San Antonio-based construction firm selected by the Texas DOT to build the TTC.

The homepage of the Ports-to-Plains Corridor Coalition website proclaims, “Together, the communities along the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor are becoming the Gateway to trade throughout the nation and with Mexico and Canada.”

The homepage also links the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor to the millions of containers from China that are planned to enter North America through Mexican ports, commenting, “The Trade Corridor will allow for the development of less congested ports of entry along the Texas/Mexican border.”

Texas Governor Clears Way For NAFTA Superhighway

The path has been cleared for the state of Texas to begin building the new Trans-Texas Corridor, a project that is designed to be four football fields wide, along Interstate 35 from Mexico to the Oklahoma border, according to a new report from WND columnist Jerome Corsi, the author of “The Late Great USA.”

The way was opened when Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, vetoed a series of proposals the Texas Legislature assembled to slow down the work on what is considered to be a key link in a continental NAFTA superhighway network.

Perry’s latest veto was of a plan to add a number of requirements to the Texas eminent-domain procedures, under which governments can grab and use private property.

But, Corsi reported, Steven Anderson of the Institute for Justice’s Castle Coalition, objected. He said Perry’s action “left every home, farm, ranch and small-business owner vulnerable to the abuse of eminent domain.”

Earlier, Corsi reported, Perry vetoed a plan to impose a two-year moratorium on the TTC project.

As WND previously reported, these measures were approved overwhelmingly by the Texas Legislature.

On learning that Perry had vetoed the eminent-domain legislation, Corridor Watch, a public advocacy group that opposes the TTC project, responded immediately.

“It sure didn’t take TxDOT long to shake off the legislative session and resume their headlong rush to use every available loophole, exception and remaining authority to build toll roads and grant toll road concessions just as fast as possible,” the organization said.

Corridor Watch also noted that in the 49 bills Perry vetoed June 15 were measures that would have required TxDOT to consider using existing highway routes for future TTC routes and a bill that called on the Texas attorney general to study the impact of international agreements on Texas.

An override of Perry’s vetoes is unlikely, since the governor threatened to call a special session of the lawmakers to handle transportation issues if his veto fell by the wayside.

As WND has previously reported, the $180 billion needed to build the 4,000-mile TTC network planned for construction over the next 50 years will be financed by Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a foreign investment consortium based in Spain. Cintra will own the leasing and operating rights on TTC highways for 50 years after their completion is complete.

WND also has reported Perry has received substantial campaign contributions from Cintra and Zachry Construction Company, the San Antonio-based construction firm selected by TxDOT to build out the TTC.

And WND has established that Cintra is represented in the United States by Bracewell and Giuliani, Republican Party presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani’s Houston-based law firm.

Just this week, WND reported TxDOT already is moving to apply its four-football-fields-wide NAFTA superhighway plan of building new train-truck-car-pipeline corridors to the states of Oklahoma and Colorado in a design that stretches from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas, to Denver, Colo.

WND has documented a significant reason for the projects is to connect truck traffic from Mexican ports on the Pacific, such as Lazaro Cardenas, to U.S. roads. Mexican ports are being increasingly used as an alternative to West Coast ports such as Los Angeles and Long Beach as a cheaper, non-union alternative for the import of millions of containers from China.

WND also has reported the Department of Transportation plans to start a Mexican truck demonstration project as early as Aug. 15, despite continuing objections from Congress.
