SuperCorridor Defeat? Don't Bet On It - by Stephen Lendman

The title refers to the I-69/Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) portion of the North American SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO) project. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced that, for now at least, it nixed this part of the $184 billion scheme calling for:



-- a 4000 mile toll road network of transportation corridors;

-- 10 lanes or 1200 feet wide;

-- two or more trans-Texas corridors being considered; one paralleling I-35 from Laredo through San Antonio, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth to Gainesville; the other an extension following US 59 from Texarkana through Houston to Laredo or the Rio Grande Valley;

-- others would parallel I-45 from Dallas/FortWorth to Houston and I-10 from El Paso to Orange;

-- they'll accommodate car and truck traffic;

-- rail lines;

-- pipelines and utilities; and

-- communication systems.

It's planned across Texas from Mexico to Oklahoma, would have annexed huge private land tracts, and may later on take much of it anyway. Enough to threaten organizations like the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA), Texas Farm Bureau and other rural interests. Their member property rights are at stake, so they fought it, and for now, prevailed - at least partly, but the matter is far from settled.

On June 10, Executive Director Amadeo Saenz announced that TxDOT "narrowed the (TTC I-69) study area (to) existing highway (routes) whenever possible," and "any area (outside) an existing (one) will not be considered" except for necessary portions. NASCO's Texas highway remains viable. It's just a little less "Super" and for now will use mostly existing state highways and connect them to northern links.

The larger project is far more ambitious. It's to develop an international, integrated, secure superhighway running the length and breath of the continent for profit. It's to militarize and annex it as part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) scheme - aka "Deep Integration" North American Union. If completed, it will extend nearly everywhere - North, South, East and West along four main cross-border regions:

-- an Atlantic Corridor, including: the Canada-US East Coast; the Champlain-Hudson Corridor; the Appalachian region; and the Gulf of Mexico;

-- a Central Eastern Corridor; an urban one through large cities and industrial areas; another through the Great Plains to the Canadian Prairies;

-- a Central Western Corridor, including the largest Mexican maquiladora concentration; and

Super Corridor just a part of it all

The things being done to totally end the United States as we have known it are well under way and yet nothing is being said about it to truly inform the American people. Greed and deception have become the ruling force rather than the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The super highways are the formation of the North American transportation control grid which will end U.S. sovereignty forever. What we see, or should see, is the progress of the coming collapse of the United States with the formation of the North American Union.  Are we hearing about it from any venue that reaches the ears of the vast majority of the American people? Obviously not. We also hear absolutely nothing about what the ultimate goals really are.

We hear smatterings about the trashing of the Constitution, and loss of freedoms and the loss of U.S. manufacturing along with jobs with the outsourcings from free trade and the harm & death from pharmas drugs, the poisoning of the people from  foods and the brain destroying chemicals even on our childrens toys, our healthcare record the worse in the world (those comes under the heading of genocide ) the oil shortage (deceptively manufactured lie) the whining from the oil corporations that they need to drill off shore everywhere..(which is B.S. since they have 10,000 drilling permits that haven't been drilled and 13 billion barrels of oil under capped wells in Alaska), gas prices off the charts driven there by speculators for obscene profits, Monetary manipulation in so many forms and manner that would take pages to list..which began when a crooked senator brought the Federal Reserve Act in to being disguised as a monetary reform act duping Congress. Our infastructure crumbling, foreclosures off the charts, dissent a crime, no privacy, an illegal war based on lies killing generations, denying our military proper healthcare and benefits, and trying to have these occupations disguised as a "War on Terror"...(just how does one fight a "war" on an emotion?) There ARE terrorists alright.. the corportions, the entire administration, their puppets and toadys within the House & Senate, within the Pentagon, the CIA (their hit squad), "Homeland" security & Chertoff, Blackwater...the mercenery army being used against us and retraining our police to become thugs, our schools being totally dumbed down teaching tests rather than science, advanced math, civics & etc., Billions being spent on WMDs while untold numbers of our people are homeless and/or starving..and these are just some of what we hear little of.

There is a DVD, an Alex Jones film called "Endgame" that should be on everyones must see list.  It clearly lays out what we are not hearing, particulary in the last half of the DVD. Things are even worse than what one might imagine.  This isn't a movie...it's documented fact in the elites own words.

If anyone thinks the obscenely wealthy or the bought and paid for give a rats patoot about the people in any way what so ever you are laboring under a delusion. Watch that DVD and then connect the dots to even just the last 7 1/2 years...

Nothing that is being done is in any way meant to benefit, help or protect the people of the U.S. And it is deliberate.
