[RonPaulFever]

There's nothing on that site about running a highway from Mexico to Canada. Looks like the dreaded NAFTA Superhighway is nothing more than Alex Jones hysteria.

[Sandra]

We in the Baton Rouge have a similar proposal in the form of a massive loop. It may connect to the TTC acording to that website.

[Agent CSL]

This doesn't exist.

Why I agree Alex Jones is an entertainment program intended to hype you up with propaganda there is plenty of proof of this highway.

Ron Paul believes in the plan for the highway. I trust Ron Paul isn't all hyped up over nothing.
Both Alex and Paul live in Texas.

You're wrong, even Ron Paul acknowledges there is a superhighway. And here it is: http://www.nascocorridor.com/pages/ports_network/ports_network.htm

[Sandra]

The TexDOT is holding town hall meetings about thr TTC. So is Louisiana, about a proposed loop that seems to tie in with the TTC. It.s all part of the Gulf Coast Strategic Highway System.

[berrybunches]

We might also wan to add that the highway is being funded by Spain and will be payed for in toll from the people using it! I wonder who is profiting from this.
Anyone wonder why that crazy eminent domain law passed? A state can take your land via eminent domain but could not take it and give it to Spain before the new laws.

[acptulsa]

They had to give it to Spain--otherwise the truckers couldn't read the road signs.

[Sandra]

One of the investors of the Baton Rouge loop is the Canadian government to fund some retirement fund.

present a cost-effective option for expansion through acquisition of additional right of way = Eminent Domain

[Maxwell TX]

http://www.nascocorridor.com/naipn/index.html
That is the main artery through the center of the US. There are plans, and development, of the branches from the main. Its real, I live in one part of the TTC 35 swath, along with a tremendous amount of farms, ranches, small towns, and properties. Note the inland ports. My property won't be taken by Eminent Domain, as the actual 1200 yd. is between it and a city 12 mi away.

Problem around here, is not very many actually understand this, or just don't want to acknowledge something like this would be done. Head sunk in sand, they aren't worried about what could happen to their neighbors. When construction gets close, it will be a different story, but too late.

[Maxwell TX]

Something to remember, is everything is always compartmentalized, and hidden many times. There used to be a map that showed all of the corridors across the nation they were planning. Haven't seen that in a few years, but might still be out there. From what I understand, the Canamex encountered so much flack from the people in its way, it has gone by the wayside. Got into an argument about 4 years ago with someone about it. Personally, I feel it has probably been just delayed instead.

With the TTC 35, it looks like they are building it in segments, starting with a highway, which will expand wider from that point. Think that is the SH 131 from Pflugerville to Lockhart, then down to Seguin. Its following the path in the swath that has been designated. Tollroad, but not being built, or collected by Cintas. (Maybe that piece of info hasn't been given out yet. OR, the TTC35 will be in between that toll highway and the I 35. I don't believe it will be between. One of the things TexasMoving states, is usage of existing highways in some places. Once the 131 is finished, it is existing.

[InPaulWeTrust]

It's a shame most americans are not willing to do the research but love to hear about american idol and britney spears...stand up for what is right. I think the choice has been made by those who sit idle in such a historical turn of events, that if enacted as fact...you can sure as hell bet the populous is not going to like it. If it ever becomes mainstream. Maybe by then everyone will be so concentrated in the MSM that they will be complacent and accept this collusion of gov't's and ideas into one.

Must have missed this article by Devvy Kidd! Yes'sum Huckabee is truly "in the know." He has many a nickname, Highway Governor is one of them. I do remember some of the Arkansas state highways were gravel/rock roads, but that was back in the early 80s. That might have changed. The Highway Governor set into motion major road construction, but it was only the interstates from what I've read. Lord knows, many of the interstates have been in very poor condition, made for some rough rides cross-country. Anyway, a snippet from Devvy's article. Follow the "this is a letter link" for 2 governors names at the bottom. Quote doesn't carry the link, so a little over halfway down the full page at the link
http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd332.htm

One more document: This is a letter from Napolitano and Brother Huckabee, who has fooled the Evangelical Christian Right with his folksy God-talk, to Michael Chertoff, Commissar of Fatherland Security. It reaffirms Brother Huck's commitment to implement the Nazi-style "Real ID." And, why wouldn't he? His newly appointed advisor on foreign policy is none other than Richard Haas, president of the treasonous Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) who believes our national sovereignty should be scraped in favor of world government. Make no mistake about it: Brother Huckabee has been kissed and blessed by the traitors working to destroy this republic. Not to mention the Huckster's coddling of illegals and his rolling out the welcome mat for a Mexican Consulate in Little Rock to help illegals stay in this country and steal jobs and classroom seats from Americans.

Now for something found in the NASCO site. At the link, scroll down to NASCO in Mexico. 2 Power Point Presentations to look at slides. Slide #6 is a map of Mexico with ports and highways. Where they meet up to highways in the US. Yes, it looks like the Canamex is still a GO and I found a new release on that.
http://www.nascocorridor.com/pages/news/conf_07_notes.html
Also on that page in the left column is the report from the 2007 conference, plus in the related events about a May conference and expo downtown San Antonio.

For Canamex. Damn those Executive Orders!

New interstate should boost local economies: ''Pan-American highway'' could be finished in as little as 12 years. (Focus Delta & River Cities).
Publication Date: 27-MAY-02
Publication Title: Mississippi Business Journal
Format: Online
Author: Kirkland, Elizabeth
Exports from Mississippi to Mexico alone have doubled in the five short years of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and when Interstate 69 is finished officials hope truck borne exports to Mexico and Canada continue to increase exponentially.

A Pan-American Highway -- it has been talked about for nearly 20 years. Interstate 69, it seems, could fulfill that long talked about dream of connecting the Americas, perhaps in as little as 12 years
How many realize the Pan-American Highway goes from Alaska ALL THE WAY down to the tip of South America? One portion in Panama is a problem area, broken link due to environmental issues if I remember correctly. Google, CNN has a link for that story. In S. A., the highway is a mixed blessing, has helped the farmers get goods to market. The Pan American H. isn't new, but what they are pushing through now is.

Many states are using toll roads to help pay for the roads and other transportation needs. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa5333/is_200702/ai_n21282589 If Spain wants to invest in one, does that hurt the US? Would they run the highway differently than any US company? Both would want to earn a profit on the road via the tolls charged. Would they restrict traffic? That would reduce their ability to gain returns on their investment- they would want to encourage traffic on their road, not discourage it. Could they export the road? No.

The "Mexican Customs Office" in Kansas City is going to be a place where Mexico can pre- inspect goods bound for Mexico. It will have nothing to do with domestic goods or US imports from Mexico. We have inspectors in Mexico already checking some goods bound for the US.

Yes a highway is being built in Texas, but it is being over sold as a threat to the nation. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20070827/hayes The rest of the route is already existing highways. Improving transportation is not necessarily a bad thing. Otherwise we should get rid of all roads. They allow for the free flow of goods and services which contribute to a free market economy.

No one would argue we need improvements in trasnportation.... but taking away Texas resident's land by eminent domain, building HUGE NEW SUPER highways with little on/off ramps and topping that off by letting a foreign company invest and profit from it is not right. At least, the people of Texas that are affected by this should have an opportunity to vote. What happened to all of the taxes on our fuel that was supposed to go to road improvements? Oh that's right.. wasted... so now, we have to continue paying those taxes AND tolls? Doesn't make sense. This giant super highway is nothing more than a way to bring in more imports from other countries since the ports are maxed out on the coast. It's a super government globalized agenda and is not necessary. Existing roads could be widened easier, it's just that no one can find a way to pay for it... just because a foreign company is willing to invest in something like this doesn't mean it's a good idea, you have to look at the big picture and at THE VERY LEAST, give the residents affected by something like this a chance to vote on it !!!

the problem, you see, is that the people of texas have already paid for the highways, and will continue to pay for them (whether they use them or not) through gasoline and other taxes, then there will be the toll on top of that.

the king's gettin' a sweetheart deal here.

though the idea is great, it's all in how they're going about it.

[Zippyjuan]

4 million acres of land are being confiscated. Does that sound like a republic to you?
Any links to that information I could take a look at? It does not sound accurate to me.
Let me see, an acre is 660x 66 feet. The road is said that it could be up to1200 feet wide(four football fields) in some places. Four million acres would be a road 1200 feet wide some 25,000 miles long. That is some highway! And I am certainly not saying that the confiscation of ANY land would be OK.

Not being a resident of Texas, I have no idea as to whether or not the Trans Texas corridor will be a good thing or not, but from what I read, the financing will not involve any tax money. OK- I see on the official site they say "limited state funds". http://ttc.keeptexasmoving.com/financing/

It would seem proper for Texans to be able to vote on the issue if they have not already.

[Bryan]

The best figures I've heard are 1/2 - 1 million acres for the entire road network (I-35, I-69 and more).

Voting should only occur after the following:

- All parties that have land in the path agree to sell it for a price they want.
- All who have land in close proximity that will be negatively affected with pollution, etc. have reached agreement to accept any impact.
- All funding for the road is already taken care of be means of volunteer association.

Voting would then be necessary since it is still a major, long term negative impact on the state. There is really little to no benefit of the road for the people of Texas and much to lose. I attended quite a few of the public meetings- anyone that understands the project wants nothing to do with it.

[Zippyjuan]

Thank you for the information as well as the local perspective. Since the final routes have not been decided yet, the total amount of land required (as well as the expense) cannot be known for certain yet. A million acres is still a lot of land.

What "peels the paint off our barns", so to speak, are these aspects:

1) Forcefully taking our land and leasing it to foreigners to profit from
2) The complete loss of property tax income for every county affected
3) Ignoring via complete silence on issues of access points
4) Cutting farms in half with no crossing point
5) Removal of productive farm and ranchland FOREVER from Texas and the United States
6) The insane idea of putting ALL critical infrastructure in a 1200 foot wide path. Makes it a LOT easier to disrupt more(rail, utilities, pipelines, highway) at one point. VERY dumb, needing a "tractor and a flashlight" dumb.
7) The total arrogance of those pushing this plan
8) The fact that EXISTING corridors(example: Highway 59) can be further utilized
9) The fact that Texans have been lied to for over a decade by the state with the cute little signs down Highway 59 that read "Future Interstate 69 Corridor"

I live in Indiana, where the Governor leased our toll road for something like the next 70 years to a Foreign company. It was done without the people's approval and I haven't met an Indiana resident yet that thought it was a "good idea". Sure there is an initial lining of coffers and it makes the current budget for road improvements look more favorable. But what happens when that money runs out and the state no longer has the initial money from the lease or what would have been the proceeds from the tolls?

It was a selfish move that helps the projects of the current IN administration look good on paper, but is selling us out over the long run. There have already been a lot of job losses and I saw a response to a letter from a toll booth employee that was told that he has "no future with this company and should look for employment elsewhere."

Our governor should not have the ability, or the authority to make 70 odd year commitments of our resources to a foreign company. Especially without approval of the residents. In the end it is always the residents of the state that are left paying for these mistakes.

[Carole]

They are going to build it in disconnected sections to keep people like you from catching on.

Then they will tie them all together. :)

[Carole]

That is only the beginning. They are giving control away of our other highways away as well.

This is definitely a bad thing. Why would we want foreigners in any way in control of our highways - existing and new?????????????????????????????????????

Please think. America is being sold out completely. The UN owns many of our National Parks already. Soon private property will be outlawed or Sub-prime mortgage-failured away from us.

Please look at all the little teeny puzzle parts and start putting them together. It will give you the big picture.

Kansas City SmartPort Uncovered!
http://www.naftasuperhighway.info/

Since the passage of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Act) there has been talk of a “superhighway”, or a series of “superhighways” that allow the efficient movement of cargo and laborers within North America.


Although there have been denials of such a highway, the North American Super Corridor Coalition (NASCO) exists to promote just such a system of highways. One piece of it is in progress in Kansas City, Missouri. The Kansas City SmartPort is an “inland port” that is proposed to handle Mexican customs and inspections. It is to be the link between seaports in Mexico and major truck, air and rail lines in the United States, all the way to Manitoba, Canada. (Another piece of the NASCO super corridor, is the Trans-Texas Corridor-the TTC)

U.S. Sovereignty. A Mexican customs office is planned for Kansas City (with the innocuous name of Kansas City Customs). If the U.S. State Department approves it, this will be the first foreign customs operation on US soil, and there is a concern that Mexico will have sovereignty in their facilities (ie, Mexican customs office will not be subject to US laws). This is currently on hold by the US State Department.

U.S. jobs will permanently be lost. Good paying union jobs in the US for American truckers, railway workers, airline staff, warehouse personnel and dockworkers will permanently shift to non-Americans. For example, the Mexican Ports that are being developed are funded and run in part by a Hong-Kong shipper. Additionally, the Texas-Trans Corridor (a piece of the superhighway) is to be contracted out to a Spanish company to build and operate. We don't know how many TTC related jobs will go to US Citizens, and how many will go to foreigners. The profits from privatizing highways will flow out of our country, and we will lose tax revenues as well!

Environmental Issues. Mexico does not require the level of emission controls that the US does. As more Mexican trucks enter and traverse the United States, more pollution will accompany them.

[Carole]

Don't forget, you will be required to have the RFID to use it.

[Zippyjuan]

The customs station for Kansas City is for inspecting cargo going into Mexico. Cargo bound for the US will have already been inspected.

U.S., Mexico negotiating to set up customs port in Kansas City

By Garance Burke
Associated Press
November 16, 2005

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Shipping American cars and electronics to Mexico may become much cheaper and faster early next year when the first Mexican customs facility in the United States is expected to open in the heart of the Midwest.

It may be nearly 1,000 miles to the border from Kansas City, but this industrial hub will soon start building an inland port that would whisk thousands of trucks through export inspections and shoot them back out onto the North American Free Trade Agreement corridor, where they can roll through the border without further delays.

The $3 million facility, which would be the first foreign customs office inside the United States, will likely be approved by the U.S. and Mexican governments by year's end and is scheduled to open next May, said Chris Gutierrez, president of Kansas City SmartPort Inc., a nonprofit organization promoting the project. Planners say manufacturing industries in the upper Midwest and Canada would be the first to benefit from the new customs operation, which they believe could expand to handle cargo from across the country.

Mexican government officials confirmed the two countries had agreed on the overall proposal, though both nations said finer points of the agreement were still being negotiated by customs officials - including security concerns and the legal standing of Mexican customs officials working in the United States.

Planners say manufacturing industries in the upper Midwest and Canada would be the first to benefit from the new customs operation, which they believe could expand to handle cargo from across the country.

There's nothing on that site about running a highway from Mexico to Canada. Looks like the dreaded NAFTA Superhighway is nothing more than Alex Jones hysteria.

Try to tell the ranchers in Texas who are losing their land to eminent domain that this is not real. My dad has a friend in Texas who said the ranchers are fighting desperately to stop this thing. It's just one more step to the NAU.
