Meet Robert Pastor: Father of the North American Union <\/strong>
\nby Jerome R. Corsi <\/p>\n

Robert Pastor intends to give away U.S. sovereignty to a newly forming North American Union exactly as he gave away the Panama Canal to Panama during Jimmy Carter\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n

As we are taught in grade school, George Washington is the Father of our nation. If the North American Union comes into existence as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) asserts, then we all better get prepared for a new hero. Robert Pastor is the person most likely to be proclaimed the father of the North American Union, a designation consistent with his decades-long history of viewing U.S. national interests through the lens of an extreme leftist almost anti-American political philosophy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Pastor\u2019s early professional career involved a working association with the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). Here he participated on the Ad Hoc Working Group on Latin America, which produced a 1977 report, \u201cThe Southern Connection: Recommendations for a New Approach to Inter-American Relations,\u201d arguing for the U.S. to abandon our anti-communist allies in Latin America in favor of supporting \u201cideological pluralism,\u201d a code word for the revolutionary socialist forces taking hold in Latin America, including the communist Sandanistas and other revolutionary terrorist groups that were developing in countries such as El Salvador. Author David Horowitz\u2019s DiscoverTheNetworks.org identifies the IPS as \u201cAmerica\u2019s oldest leftwing think tank\u201d that \u201chas long supported Communist and Anti-American causes around the world,\u201d with a place for KGB agents from the Soviet embassy in Washington \u201cto convene and strategize.\u201d<\/p>\n

From February 1975 to January 1977, Dr. Pastor was executive director of the Linowitz Commission on U.S.\/Latin American Relations. The Linowitz Commission supported President Carter\u2019s decision to negotiate a treaty to turn over the Panama Canal to Panama. Pastor left the Linowitz Commission to join become director of the Office of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs in the National Security Council in the Carter White House. There Pastor served as Carter\u2019s \u201cpoint man\u201d in getting the Senate to narrowly vote for the Carter-Torrijos Treaty on April 18, 1978, despite staunch objections from conservative politicians including Ronald Reagan. <\/p>\n

In December 1993, President Bill Clinton nominated Pastor to be U.S. ambassador to Panama. Pastor\u2019s nomination was approved by a 16-3 vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his confirmation looked virtually certain. The nomination failed, however, and was withdrawn by the administration in February 1995, after then-Sen. Jesse Helms (R.-N.C.) swore to prevent a Senate vote on Pastor\u2019s nomination. Helms, who had vehemently opposed the turn-over of the Panama Canal, placed much of the blame squarely on Pastor, declaring when he opposed Pastor\u2019s nomination that Pastor \u201cpresided over one of the most disastrous and humiliating periods in the history of U.S. involvement in Latin America.\u201d Helms also claimed that Pastor bore responsibility for what Helms saw as \u201ca Carter administration cover-up of alleged involvement by Nicaragua\u2019s Sandinista government in arms shipments to leftist rebels in El Salvador.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Pastor has also co-authored a 1989 book with his long-time friend, Jorge G. Casta\u00f1eda, who began his career as a member of the Mexican Communist Party. Casta\u00f1eda, a life-long admirer of the radical left, published in 1998 an admiring biography of the revolutionary \u201chero\u201d Che Guevara. Casta\u00f1eda, like Pastor, has sought to work in government positions to implement his theories, not satisfied to be a political scientist who writes books and teaches at universities. Casta\u00f1eda too has mixed his career as a government employee by alternating time spent as an author of more than a dozen books and a university professor at various times on the faculties of the University of California at Berkeley, Princeton University, and the New York University. <\/p>\n

Casta\u00f1eda was an aggressively pro-illegal immigration foreign minister when he accompanied President Vincente Fox in the U.S. in 2001. Those were the days when Vincente Fox was declaring himself to be the president of 100 million Mexicans at home and 23 million Mexicans in the United States. Casta\u00f1eda also attended with President Fox on a three-day state visit to pre-9\/11 Washington. There in a joint statement on Sept. 6, 2001, the two leaders announced a bilateral \u201cPartnership for Prosperity,\u201d which after 9\/11 evolved into the trilateral summit statement of a \u201cSecurity and Prosperity Partnership of North America,\u201d announced in Waco, Tex., on March 23, 2005. Casta\u00f1eda is probably best remembered for telling in 2001 a group of mostly Latino union workers that Mexico was going to press for \u201cthe whole enchilada,\u201d intending to legalize all illegal Mexicans aliens in the U.S…. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
