The announcement by TxDOT Executive Director Amadeo Saenz at the Texas Transportation Forum that the "Trans Texas Corridor, as it was originally envisioned, is no more," is just another in a series of comments to lead opponents into believing the Trans Texas Corridor is indeed dead. TURF believes this is a deliberate move to dupe opponents into complacency, and we expect iron-clad action before we begin celebrating victory.

Consider this article on the narrative history of NASCo website changes. It tracks the same methodology of remarketing.

Roads like these are only as useful as they are convenient. You make such roads very unpopular, undesirable for drivers to drive through, they lose all their purpose.

Roads like this also contribute to reconfiguration of societies. Take for instance the effect the silk road had. The purpose of this road is to further borderless ideals.

I remember a few years ago anyone in Texas who was talking about the Trans Texas Corridor was a conspiracy theorists for believing there was such a thing. They talked about it all the time on the talk radio stations. Everyone who called in wanting to talk about it was labeled some kooky left-wing nutter.

True, but the design of this road is to also act as a physical barrier--limiting transverse movement. I heard this with my own ears from a TXDOT insider speaking at a TURF meeting.

Even if you do not live in Texas, please consider sending a few bucks to TURF, they are fighting the good fight on a shoestring as well: http://texasturf.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=32

We should have a border to protect ourselves from Mexican tyranny. Instead, our tyranny has set up an open border that pimps the American people off as just another whore.

No, it is not 'official policy' of admitting the restriction of movement; he was just a regular good guy who happens to work for TXDOT and did the right thing by speaking out.
