The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 305
The Free Trade Areas of the Americas
The Free Trade Areas of the Americas (FTAA) is a proposal that would create a NAFTA
like free trade zone among the 34 nations from Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina. The
official efforts to form the FTAA began at the first Summit of the Americas in Miami in 1994.
The second summit of the Americas was held in Santiago, Chile in 1998. The participating
nations agreed that the “negotiations should proceed in order to contribute to raising living
standards, improving working conditions of all people in the Americas, and better protecting the
environment.” In November of 2003 the trade Ministers of the FTAA committed “to a
comprehensive and balanced FTAA that will most effectively foster economic growth, the
reduction of poverty, development, and integration through trade liberalization” throughout the
entire Western hemisphere.
In 2003 the trade ministers of the Americas further reaffirmed their original commitment
to successfully conclude the FTAA negotiations by January of 2005. The agreements anticipated
implementation date is December of 2005. The Ministers ultimate goal is the implementation of
the largest free trade zone in the world along with regional integration.

According to William
Jasper who writes for The New American, “The Bush administration has repeatedly stated that
creation of a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) — encompassing all of North and South
America — is one of its top priorities.”

A free trade zone is a topic that most people can conceptually understand; regional
integration is a term that is more ambiguous. Regional integration will not just be economic but
it will be an integration of our laws and our governments. The preliminary goal is a regional
government as a stepping-stone to the final goal, which is a one-world government. As an
example take a look at the European Union (EU).
The FTAA and the EU are only two of the ten political/economic regions that the Club of
Rome devised as stepping stones to a one-world government in their report entitled Regionalized
Adaptive Model of the Global World System, which was released in 1973. The report refers to the
ten regions as “kingdoms”!

The Club of Rome was a New Age futurist group of industrialists,
scientists, economists, and others—led by its founder Aurelio Peccei.
The Club of Rome report was a continuation of foundations for a one-world government
envisioned and promoted by New Ager and Luciferian Alice Bailey, founder of Lucis Trust.
Bailey aptly called her vision of the future “The Plan.” Author Michael C. Coffman in his book
Saviors of the Earth writes: “The Plan permits the continuation of some national sovereignty, but
in practical terms it will be in name only. The ruling global body would be centered in what The
Plan calls an ‘economic league of nations.’”
Coffman further writes that Bailey envisioned that the United Nations would be the
global ruling body since it had demonstrated its “potency of spiritual values” and had laid the
“foundations which will guarantee a better and more spiritual way of life.” Most of the U.N.’s
own documents suggest that it would administer power over the world through ten economic-
military “regions”.
954
Although Bailey and the U.N. and many others have envisioned the U.N. as
the global ruling body, it could just as well be some similar entity yet to be formed. The critical
part of The Plan is that the people of the earth will be ruled over by a world government divided
