NORTH AMERICAN UNION??? Why Is It a Good Idea NOW?

President Trump hosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House this week, and again floated his idea to make Canada “the 51st state,” to which Carney replied, “There are some places that are never for sale.”

Trump’s reply to that was, “Time will tell.”

This insulting idea that one country can simply “acquire” another one–even if that country is not interested in being acquired–has become almost casual standard operating procedure for President Trump, and though Democrats / liberal-Leftists are generally appalled by it; strangely, I don’t see much pushback from Republicans / conservatives.

Instead, I hear excuses such as this is Trump’s “Art of the Deal.” In other words, it’s just his long-known negotiating strategy of asking for something outrageous, then tamping down his demands to get a more “reasonable” deal.

The problem with this understanding of Trump’s supposed goals, is that it appears that in the case of acquiring other nations in a “hostile takeover” manner, this IS the desired goal. And if it isn’t, why would he risk the obvious blowback and global destabilization by making these kinds of statements?

As an example, Canadian Prime Minister Carney may very well owe his recent victory (succeeding the unpopular Justin Trudeau) to Trump’s “51st state” comments. The People of Canada could have had a much more freedom-minded leader, and America could have had a much better neighbor.

Even worse than the Canada statements, Trump has been saying for some time that he will take Greenland “one way or the other.” That clearly implies a military possibility. Yet Greenland is owned by Denmark, who has no plans to let the island go. Here Trump is again (sharply) upping the global uncertainty.

I don’t know why I have to be one of the few conservatives to actually say this, but there’s something wrong with using chaos as standard operating procedure.

But most conservatives barely bat an eye over this kind of talk. Many actually admire it, since they don’t like (liberal) Canada or the established world order in general (which is understandable), and they just like Trump’s “straight-shooting.” Unfortunately, that “straight-shooting” includes a lot of “friendly-fire.”

Many conservatives also approve of Vladimir Putin’s naked attempted land-grab of Ukraine. How could Trump have the moral authority to tell Putin not to take Ukraine when he himself has designs on acquiring other countries against their will (Canada), and by force if necessary (Greenland)?

No, this is not “the Art of the Deal”–it’s a quest for land. In the case of Canada, Trump has asked why we should continue to subsidize and defend them (again–valid points on their own), and in the case of Greenland, he has said that we need it for security (we already have a military base there, and could conceivably add others if needed). I am not saying that there is not a national security question here, but let’s at least start by taking Trump at his word and believe that he actually means to take Greenland “one way or another.”

Art of the Deal? Perhaps it could be called “Art of the (potential) Steal.”

Consolidation of Power

All this is so bizarre, as I am someone who became a conservative largely because of its emphasis on (and defense of) freedom and sovereignty.

There has long been a principle utilized in this world to guard against the spread and power of evil, and that is sovereignty. In short, the idea of keeping nations separate from each other, so that each rules itself. A fear of consolidated power has been long understood.

The more consolidation of power, the less freedom, and the greater likelihood of evil acquiring power and developing a monopoly on power. An easy way to understand this principle is the fear people have of corporations gaining power and creating a monopoly in an economy. The less choice consumers have–the easier it is for one or a few corporations to set the prices and “rules” of doing business with them.

Similarly, in terms of countries, conservatives have long feared a “new world order” that disregards national sovereignty in favor of a consolidation of power. Any rational person should be able to clearly see this ever-growing trend. A perfect example of this principle in action is the European Union, which used to be simply the continent of Europe, broken up into a group of sovereign countries.

Today, if you live in this “superstate,” you are not ruled through the laws of your own country. Some years back, the People of the United Kingdom voted and WON their independence through a process known as Brexit, and the reasons for it are explained in THIS VIDEO. But it has been a long process, and the European Union has not made things easy on the United Kingdom for their act of “betrayal.”

The NORTH AMERICAN Union

Back in the early 2000s, under U.S. President George W. Bush, there were plans to build a “NAFTA Superhighway” that would connect Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. The proposed highway would have been part of a broader plan advanced by a quasi-government organization called the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,” or SPP. Ron Paul and other patriotic Americans blew the whistle on this scheme, and its plans for the consolidation of North America were scrapped–at least for a time.

But those who seek power never rest.

The idea of consolidating groups of countries together for economic and security reasons is not new, and has been under consideration for decades. This article breaks down the history of plans for “10 Kingdoms.”

This idea even goes back to the Bible. The books of Daniel, chapter 7, and Revelations, chapters 13 and 17 refer to “ten kings” or regional kingdoms associated with “the beast” in the “end times.”

So yeah, I’d say it’s a concern!

Conclusion

It is not necessary to believe the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelations in the Bible to see the trends of today, which point toward consolidation of land and power. As I’ve said, this is never a good sign for freedom. As for President Trump, I’m not saying that he is purposely leading the United States into danger in seeking the annexation of Canada and Greenland, or that he does not have good reasons for considering these actions. But under close examination, are his reasons sound?

I may be in a small minority here, but that is of no concern. What matters is our sovereignty, and our freedom. This goes for everyone’s God-given right to live free.

Taking land–potentially, by force–is what tyrants do, not the leaders of free People. I’ve stated before that I voted for President Trump three times. And I would vote for him again if the choice were between him and a Leftist Democrat. Trump has done many great things for the American People. But pushing for a NORTH AMERICAN UNION ain’t one of them!

I don’t believe the American People would allow the creation of a North American Union superstate under any other U.S. President. So why are they willing to make an exception for Donald Trump, who after all, is just a man? Psalm 118:8 says, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” That has ALWAYS been sound advice and it still is!

Elected politicians have long been known to be servants of the People. But somehow we’ve gotten this backwards with politicians we like. I hope the American People wake up to this reality before it is too late.
