Meet Robert Pastor

clipped from www.freerepublic.com 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. he participated on the Ad Hoc Working Group on Latin America, which produced a 1977 report, “The Southern Connection: Recommendations for a New Approach to Inter-American Relations,” arguing for the U.S. to abandon our anti-communist allies in Latin America in favor of supporting “ideological pluralism,” a code word for the revolutionary socialist forces taking hold in Latin America, including the communist Sandanistas and other revolutionary terrorist groups

From Article:

“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’s decision to negotiate a treaty to turn over the Panama Canal to Panama.

Dr. Pastor has also co-authored a 1989 book with his long-time friend, Jorge G. Casta�eda, who began his career as a member of the Mexican Communist Party. Casta�eda, a life-long admirer of the radical left, published in 1998 an admiring biography of the revolutionary Che Guevara. Casta�eda, like Pastor, has sought to work in government positions to implement his theories.

Robert Pastor argued in an article in CFR’s Foreign Affairs, “that the United States would benefit by giving up U.S. national Sovereignty.” Countries are benefited “when they changed these [national sovereignty] policies, and evidence suggests that North Americans are ready for a new relationship that renders this old definition of sovereignty obsolete.”
