Denials About the NAFTA Superhighway Rely on Name Change OUT-LAW.COM
Political leaders and various elements of the mass media adamantly insist that there are no plans to create a "superhighway" linking Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. Such claims are being based on a name change from "superhighway" to "supercorridor." Follow this link to the original source: "Name changed to hide 'Superhighway'?" When the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain came down, practically all of the communists in Eastern Europe and the USSR became socialists overnight. The change from a feared label to one much less odious allowed totalitarian monsters to masquerade as individuals more to be favored than feared. Sad to say, it worked. Here in the United States, the ruse involving communists who became socialists relied on the American people forgetting that the formal name of the USSR included the word "socialist," and the word communist did not appear. The only difference between a communist and a socialist, most never learned, is that a communist is a socialist in a hurry. The more honest— but still to be feared — socialist works to have his targeted victims vote themselves into slavery rather than have it forced upon them.
History shows that name changes designed to confuse the unwary are effective. A more recent example enables President Bush and his counterparts from Canada and Mexico to deceive the press and the public about the plans to create a huge superhighway from southern Mexico through the United States all the way into Canada. At a press conference held at the close of the August 20–21 meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership in Montebello, Quebec, an American reporter asked the three leaders, "Are there plans to build some kind of superhighway connecting all three countries?" Canada's Prime Minister Harper derisively denied that such a plan existed, and even drew laughter with his claim it would not be "interplanetary" either. President Bush stated that such a plan emanated from a "conspiracy" that had no basis in fact. America's liberal media chimed in with similar denials. Nation magazine pulled no punches in telling its readers: "There is no such thing as a proposed NAFTA Superhighway." But it turns out that the original name of the project was indeed "North American Superhighway Coalition." It was changed as far back as 1998 to "North American SuperCorridor Coalition" a relatively minor switch that enabled NASCO to retain its acronym and deny that any "Superhighway" was being entertained. It's just a SuperCorridor, you see. Will the planned "SuperCorridor" link southern Mexico to the U.S. and Canada? Of course. But don't call it a Superhighway. And don't call any of the newly minted socialists in Eastern Europe and Russia a communist. But realize that the goal of the former communists is no less totalitarian, just as the SuperCorridor planned to parallel I-35 in Texas is no less a Superhighway.
