Super NAFTA, Cintra, and the Security and Prosperity Act




So what do all these things have in common? That was the question I asked my self.
Having kept my eye on the formation of the North American Union when I first heard of it in1990, around the time of the 1st Gulf action, I can't bring myself to call it a War, because it was never Declared by Congress as to be a War.

How ever, I had over a long span of years heard; along with most of the Detroit area, about the proposed leasing out, or the out right sale of our toll bridges to Canada and thought it to be a very unwise decision to make. I remember at the time I thought, "Who cares anyway?" Because I was young and bullet proof ; or so I thought, I didn't have enough knowledge of the art of warfare, the history of the Roman Empire or the workings of politics to piece any thing together.

But that was 18 years ago, and things have changes...and not for the better.

We have all witnessed the fall of our Towers, our Liberties, and now, our Dollar...in that order.

And good people sit idly by and do nothing. Still members of the bullet proof mentality of a teen ager, we have grown accustomed to  the prosperity we have had over the years riding high the wave of our Fiat currency.

And while we have been content with our televisions and PS3's, and all the shinny little B. S. we are told we "Need"...to, "CHASE, what matters" our nations roads and ports have been sold out from under our feet.

We all remember the News of this and Congress putting a halt to selling of American Ports to China. Well China, ends up buying in Mexico.

Now how does that tie in with Cintra? Here's a little crash course in Cintra.

The company has over 35 years' experience and a business strategy based on growth. Cintra presently manages 21 toll highways (more than 2,000 km) in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Chile, Canada and USA. In this country, Cintra is strategic partner of the State of Texas in the design and planning of the Trans-Texas Corridor and has been selected as preferred bidder for a 75-year concession to maintain and operate the Indiana Toll Road (ITR). [quoted from www.cintra.es 13 Dec 2006]

Which in lawyer speakmeans, they hold the rights to charge what ever they chose to drive on their system.

Headquartered in Madrid, Spain, with subsidiaries on three continents, Cintra is one of the world’s largest private-sector developers of transport infrastructure, with committed equity investments of more than $2.1 billion. Cintra is a publicly held company listed in Madrid’s Stock Exchange. More than 60 percent of Cintra is held by the Madrid-based Grupo Ferrovial, founded as a construction company in 1952. Ferrovial is now a diversified and stable group that ranks among the top five construction groups by market capitalization in Europe. Its subsidiary, Ferrovial Agroman, has completed construction projects in more than 40 countries and forms, together with Zachry, the construction arm of the team. [quoted from "Cintra/Zachry Team Fact Sheet," 11 Mar 2005]

Cintra is a publicly traded company based in Madrid, Spain. Cintra has a market capitalization of approximately $5 billion. The company has years of successful transportation experience, including major investment and operating interests in the Chicago Skyway, the 407 ETR highway in Toronto, Canada, and highway investments in Spain, Ireland, Chile and Portugal. Cintra is also the leader in the parking lot business in Spain, currently managing more than 200,000 parking slots. [quoted from "Cintra/Zachry Team Fact Sheet," 11 Mar 2005]

Jose Maria Lopez de Fuentes is Cintra's U.S. manager.

407 ETR was operated and maintained by the Ontario Government from the time it was opened in 1959 until the 407 International, Inc. was awarded a 99-year operating concession. This was the first privatization of an existing toll road in Canada. 407 International, Inc. is a partnership between Cintra, S.A. of Madrid, Spain; Macquarie Infrastructure Group (MIG) of Sydney, Australia; and, SNC Lavalin of Canada.

And just coincidentally the former mayor of New York, Giuliani tends to make huge profits in this venture to sell America out, but we already knew that, seeing how fast he shipped away the evidence of the WTC wreckage to a foreign country to be disposed of.

The sell-off of American highways to private companies coupled with the controversial plan to build the "NAFTA Superhighway" has become an explosive political subject in many states. The influx of foreign companies involved in becoming owners of public assets has further enraged the public, as have details about their financial ties with some of the country's most well-known politicians.

One of the biggest whoppers in the whole debate about political patronage and the sell-off of public infrastructure concerns the $100-million buyout of the firm owned by Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani by Macquarie, the big Australian investment banking firm.

Macquarie Infrastructure has partnered with the Spanish firm Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte in the controversial purchase of the Indiana Toll Road. The two companies are also part of a major political uprising in Texas concerning the privatization of State Highway 121 outside of Dallas. A Macquarie division has spent $110 million buying up 42 local newspapers along the Trans-Texas Corridor (the NAFTA Superhighway corridor).

So as you can see...Cintra is the Main player in this game for our land and rights to tax us the American to fund Mexico's infrastructure.

Which is explain quite well by Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio.

This is an all too real truth, regardless if you know nothing about it.

This is what's at stake here.

The whole sale of American road ways into hands of Foreign companies thus giving them taxation power through tolls, and the power to tax is the power to control.

Add this reality to the fact that our Dollar is worth less and less everyday due to inflation from Helicopter Ben and the Den of Thieves at the Federal Reserve and an Empire building mentality sweeping the Neo-Con Agenda for the last ummm say 60 years this nation will be reduced to the plight of third world nations, alts the while our political and manufacturing elite are pulling up shop in the States and heading to sunnier shores.

Ford Motor has invested 9.2 billion in their Mexico operations...so where does that leave us...clinging to a pension from them based in a worthless currency, Well thank you very little, Ford Motor.

Now being into Roman history (like most males), I understand how important the road way systems are for:

A) deploying troops

B) suppling said troops

C) controlling commerce

D) Controlling Migration

E) But most importantly, Taxation.

You can forget about the Government thinking about how we might use the roads.

It's all based in a fear based mentality...that is how our systems work now. Out of fear. About evacuation routes and deployment routes. We have all heard it already. On the news, in the papers, but did you listen to what was said.

What is the Security and Prosperity Act?

The Security and Prosperity Act actually gives the rights (Though never voted on by Congress or the House) to Canadian and Mexican military forces to police our population here in the U.S. And if you really need to read more about this huberistic Contitutional abortion just Google the Act and read for days about it.

Through out history, road ways have been the key to military success and control of a geographical locale. They have been used to tax and to control the masses.

It's time we stop buying the lies.

To own up to the fact that we were willfully ignorant.

Wake up to the truth, we wanted to be lied to so we wouldn't feel accountable or have to actually get involved in our own governing.
