Waking up the Superhighway Threat

A massive construction project that will cost $184,000,000,000 (that's billion, with a B, by the way) and a half million acres of Texas land called the "Trans-Texas Corridor" is finally starting to get the attention of rank-and-file Texans.

Construction is already underway in south and central Texas where a Mexican construction firm, funded by a Spanish consortium, is hard at work building a turnpike that will become the linchpin of the TTC or, as many of us have come to call it, the NAFTA Superhighway. Perhaps an even better name is the North American Union Superhighway.

We were in Texas last summer and were perplexed that people we talked to in Austin seemed to have no idea why the turnpike was being built, and who was providing the money to build it. The massive turnpike construction, bisecting the city, seemingly is not coordinated with local traffic officials as severe traffic snarls and long lines test the patience of Austin motorists. The attitudes of locals at that time ranged from bemused to amused, with the biggest question: Who do they think will use this turnpike?

The answer to that is simple: The roadway is designed to vehicles that will be traveling from deep in Mexico to freight depots deep in the United States and Canada. It is part of a globalist plan to bypass the laws of the individual states and to grease the wheels behind the creation of a new regional superpower government in North America based on the European Union model.

It's good to see that people are waking up in Texas: The Farm Bureau is raising a campaign to sponsor legislation that would halt the development of the TTC. The superhighway plan includes using eminent domain to roll over the property rights and concerns of landowners.

It would be prudent for Oklahoma citizens to pay attention and perhaps ask legislators to take a long look at preventative measures, for the TTC will not stop at the border of Texas. The NAU Superhighway plans call for it to continue through Oklahoma, roughly along the path of I-35 and on into Kansas to Kansas City, where an international depot/customs port is planned, and which may be awarded to Mexico as an inducement to provide money for its construction.

All of this is happening thus far with virtually no public input, or in other words, no one involved really wants to know your opinion, or ours, on the type of country we want for our children and their children.

This should be reason enough to slow this thing down. We all need to talk a bit about the Superhighway, the North American Union, and whether the free citizens of the United States want any portion of either.

This is not a partisan issue per se. There are politicians of both parties at the federal level who are in favor of this. Our task is to hold our lawmakers' feet to the fire and make them admit whether they want to preserve and protect the country called the United States, and its Constitution, or whether they prefer a superstate in which our rights will be revised and perhaps limited, and not necessarily with our approval.

You won't hear about this on TV, concerned as it is with reality shows, trite "searches" for pop stars and Anna Nicole Smith. Chances are you won't read about it in the mainstream newspapers like the uber liberal Tulsa World. But the facts are out there.

Unless you start paying attention you may wake up some morning to find yourself in a new country with new neighbors and new rules of conduct, as you wind your way around a massive concrete-and-asphalt monstrosity that has divided your city or town.
