Al Giordano: The Age of Atlantica

The Age of Atlantica: As Goes Mexico, so Goes the US and Canada


The End of Sovereignty and Democracy Tolls for Upstate New York, Northern New England, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces, and, Soon, for Boston and NYC Too
By Al Giordano
Special to The Narco News Bulletin

Dear Colleague,

During his recent lecture tour in the Northeastern US and Quebec, Narco News publisher Al Giordano saw many of the same changes imposed on the peoples and land of those regions that he has reported for the last decade from Mexico.

What happened to the Mexican farmer and worker - forcing millions to migrate to find work - as a result of a "free trade agreement" is now happening to their counterparts in the US and Canada.

It turns out that it's intentional: an alliance of big business interests has drawn a new map around Upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Quebec and the Maritime provinces and openly seeks strip them of sovereignty and democracy, calling the new corporate state "Atlantica."

Today, Narco News supplies the business group's own maps and details its plans to do to the Northeastern US and Eastern Canada what has already been accomplished in Mexico:

Giordano reports:

"An alliance of big business owners is openly plotting the economic Mexicanization of an important region of the Northeast US and Eastern Canada. They call their new world 'Atlantica,' and have imposed their borders around it as if drawing a new 'country' on a Risk game board. Here's the map of 'their' new country, not one founded upon democratic decisions, but with orders barked from an unelected elite of corporate flunkies whose only law is to maximize profits for the owners.

"...Have you heard the modern axiom about this being the first time in human history that more people lived in cities than in the countryside? Some folks repeat it as if that's some kind of wonderful. But it's killing the quality of life in cities along with that upon the fruited plain. Whether you live in the country or the town, if you live in or near 'Atlantica,' chances are that this economic system will force your own migration in your lifetime. Think you are safe and installed for life where you are now? Start to think like a Mexican instead.

"...Of course, the imposition of a Mexico-style 'free trade economy' on Eastern Canada and the Northeastern US will look much the same as it does down south. It won't just be about shipping international products faster and cheaper. It will also seize upon the collapse of the family farm and the subsequent conscripted army of a cheap and migrant labor pool to create a new region of sweatshops. And that will require electricity, something the Atlantican masters have very much in mind."


Read about how Canadian unions and social movements are mounting resistance to the "Atlantica" plan, their plans to protest in Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 11-16, and how the US Commercial Media has withheld the big story from its news consumers, once again, only this time the story is about what will happen to them:
