After weeks of total silence on the issue, the White House press secretary today issued a terse statement confirming that President Obama will, in fact, attend the North American Leaders summit with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper next month.

WND reported earlier on the silence from the White House about the meeting that used to be known as the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

The only mention at that time of the Mexico summit that WND could find on a U.S. government website was on a calendar on the U.S. Department of State site that listed only: “August 8-11, North American Leader’s Summit, Mexico,” with no additional information.

Now in an e-mailed statement from Press Secretary Robert Gibbs titled “Upcoming Travel by the President,” he confirms Obama will attend.

“The president will travel to Guadalajara, Mexico, August 9-10 to attend the North American Leaders Summit with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper,” the two-sentence announcement began.

“The summit meeting will provide an opportunity for the United States, Mexico, and Canada to engage on a broad range of issues, including economic recovery and competitiveness in North America, our shared interest in energy and the environment, and cooperation among our governments to promote the safety and welfare of our citizens, including continued close cooperation to counter the A/H1N1 influenza pandemic.”

WND has reported that the last annual SPP meeting in New Orleans included a determined public relations effort to drop the SPP designation completely in order to defuse criticism.

When he was a candidate, Obama wrote an article published by the Dallas Morning News entitled, “I will repair our relationship with Mexico,” in which he stated: “Starting my first year in office, I will convene annual meetings with Mr. Calderon and the prime minister of Canada. Unlike similar summits under President Bush, these will be conducted with a level of transparency that represents the close ties among our three countries.”

Brent Patterson, the director of campaigns at the Council of Canadians, had been critical of Obama for not announcing his plans, questioning Obama’s “commitment … to transparency and accountability for this meeting.”

The Council of Canadians is a citizens’ organization WND has previously reported is actively opposed to North American political integration under NAFTA and the SPP.

WND has previously reported that Robert A. Pastor, the American University professor who for more than a decade has been a major proponent of building a North American Community, has declared the SPP “is dead,” largely due to efforts to expose the SPP’s North American integration agenda.

WND has also reported that President Obama has backtracked on his campaign promises to renegotiate NAFTA in order to get provisions more favorable to U.S. workers and U.S. jobs.

During the presidential campaign, Obama was forced to fire from his campaign an important economic adviser. Austan Goolsbee, an economics professor at the University of Chicago business school, was dismissed after reporters learned he had traveled to Canada to reassure Canadians that Obama’s campaign promises to renegotiate NAFTA were just campaign rhetoric.

In the Ohio and Pennsylvania Democratic Party primaries, candidate Obama had pledged to renegotiate NAFTA as part of his appeal to Ohio and Pennsylvania workers who have lost manufacturing jobs under the free trade agreements negotiated by Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush.

Now, Goolsbee is back in the White House, having taken a leave of absence from the University of Chicago. Obama appointed him to serve as chief economist and staff director of the newly created Presidential Economic Recovery Advisory Board, chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker.

Obama also appointed Goolsbee to the Council of Economic Advisors, or CEA, which is charged with assisting in the development of White House economic policy.

Why does The Liberty Tree Lantern provide this WND report to our readers?  Because in order for the U.S. Goverment, Trilateral Commission, CFR and The Federal Reserve “System”, a cartel of Twelve privately held banks, owned mostly by foreign shareholders / bankers who founded and created the Trilateral Commission and the CFR, to shut down The Constitution in favor of a one world currency followed by a one world U.N. style Socialist, Communist, Fascist “hybrid” Big Brother police welfare State, they need to first snare America up in a North American Union, such as Europe did with their European Union.  The powers that be have to shut down the Constitution and the tenets of The Declaration of Independence one or two steps at a time or else the American public might get alarmed to make the jump to World Socialist, Communist, Fascist one World Government and the loss of individual freedom, liberty, prosperity and rights all at once.  The Liberty Tree Lantern will keep you posted as to the advancements that the U.S. Government, The Trilateral Commission, The CFR and The Fed makes to a the NAU and the One World Government and the end of America’s sovereignty, Constitution and individual unalienable rights as things develop.  As fast as the Obama Administration, Congress and The Fed are moving it is hard to keep up with it all.  Who knows how soon we will have a one world currency as fast as they are working; symbolizing the end of everything we and our war dead have fought for?    – - Capt.
