This is the second installment in a series of articles looking at the forces behind the scenes propelling us toward globalization through NAFTA, the FTAA and the WTO.
But these words, even coupled with ominous, visible reality, didn’t perturb the Pratt House globalists. On December 5, 2002, CFR "expert" Kenneth Maxwell was defending Lula again, this time in the New York Review of Books. Maxwell, who had recently returned from a Brazil trip, said "Lula’s triumph seemed like the realization of an American dream," and he was miffed that anti-communists might spoil that dream. He dismissed Lula’s Castro, Chavez, and SPF connections as inconsequential. Interestingly, two days later, on December 7, the online edition of the People’s Weekly World (PWW), official newspaper of the Communist Party USA, also ran an article on Lula. In it, PWW interviewed Luis Fernandes, a leader of the Communist Party of Brazil, who helped run the Lula campaign. Comrade Fernandes enthusiastically explained that when Lula won, all his fellow Communists "came out into the streets dressed in red" to celebrate. PWW went on to report: "During the election campaign, Lula charged that FTAA would clear the way for ‘annexation’ of Latin America by the United States while Mercosur is a buttress against U.S. control." Mercosur is a regional trade bloc that includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay as full members, and Chile and Bolivia as associate members. Lula’s line is that the Mercosur countries must accelerate their integration as a sub-region to avoid being swallowed up by the much larger FTAA. The truth is that the socialist, sovereignty-destroying program Lula is pushing for Mercosur would demolish almost all currently existing national barriers of member countries against absorption by the FTAA. In fact, CFR one-worlders (like Maxwell) have been pushing for Mercosur integration for decades. They know that Mercosur, like FTAA, is part of the global WTO regime. Mr. Lula knows this too, of course; he and his top administration officials hobnob regularly with the CFR crowd at globalist conclaves. In fact, Lula himself was the main speaker at a special "Meeting With President Lula" sponsored by the CFR in New York on September 25, 2003. |
