Martial Law Would Be Declared If Bailout Not Passed In House

clipper's remarks: As former California congressman Dan Hamburg said earlier this year, the 2007 National Defense Authorization Act gives the executive the power to invoke martial law in case of “major public emergencies,” not limited to “a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, a terrorist attack,” but also “any other condition in which the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to the extent that state officials cannot maintain public order.” Obviously, a financial crash and ensuing social chaos of the sort now being implemented by the ruling elite would be characterized as a dire emergency and a near perfect excuse to impose martial law, a long standing goal of the elite. As the Army Times reported last month, a battle-hardened “homeland” brigade is now “going domestic” after spending time in Iraq. It appears this illegal deployment (under Posse Comitatus) is designed to respond to “public disorder” as the economy is deliberately and cynically dismantled at the behest of our rulers.

In House debate on the banker “rescue” bill, Rep. Brad Sherman told his fellow Congress critters the government will declare martial law and the stock market will drop 3,000 points if the bill is not passed. “The panic-mongers were to the point of telling people the market would drop 3,000 points and there would be martial law,” said Sherman.

Sherman’s comment was not in the same context as a comment issued by Rep. Michael Burgess earlier in the week. Burgess, who appeared on the Alex Jones Show, said Pelosi threatened to invoke House rule XIII(6)(a), described as “martial law,” intended to suspend normal procedures and safeguards and thus allowing the House leadership to operate in a more authoritarian fashion.

The bailout plan is not only “economic fascism,” as Richard Viguerie has correctly noted, designed to loot the U.S. Treasury and reorganize and further consolidate elite control over the economy, but it is also a brazen effort to impose a martial law and dictatorship

I have never posted on a liberal blog before - if this is too long or inappropriate - please tell me - I am not sure what is customary. - I hope I do not insult anyone - I just have to get this off my chest.

I have been a long time conservative - a true conservative - and have been horrified by the recent theocratic fascist turn of my beloved Republican Party. I was the Vice-President of the College Republicans in the late 80s at my college.

The Palin pick has absolutely horrified me. For the first time in my life - I donated 1000.00 to a political campaign - that of Senator Obama. Indeed, the donate button on the Obama website was so overwhelmed on his servers last night - it took me till 1:29 AM to get through to donate.

I often wondered in all my years of history courses how the citizens of the Roman Republic or of Nazi Germany let it happen. I do not have to wonder anymore - I am now living through it

John McCain: A Veteran against Veterans

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:19:13 GMT

clipped by: zizzy
clipper's remarks: He takes on the mantle of veteran for political reasons. He's got some nerve accusing Barack Obama of playing politics. That's McCain's M.O. as betrayer MA/POWs and their families so that his father-in-law could sell more beer. I wonder how many houses McCain's back-stabbing bought.

Clip Source: www.capitolhillblue.com

Older veterans remember well how John McCain and John Kerry shut down all further investigation into remaining MIA/POW in order to open up trade with Vietnam over the protests of family members. They remember full well how these families were treated and talked to by McCain. They also remember how John McCain's father-in-law immediately opened up a beer industry in Vietnam as soon as trade resumed

Union Veterans, has this to say about John McCain

Not only has McCain voted the wrong way on veterans' issues - such as opposing increased funding for veterans' health care the last four years in a row - but he also doesn't support middle class people's issues

He wants to tax people's health care benefits, and supports unfair trade deals, including NAFTA." www.unionveterans.org

John McCain runs on a platform of being a vet yet he obviously does not support the needs of veterans. Why support a politician who does not support our troops? Surely, our veterans deserve more than just buffalo chips.

Not Every Violation of the Law is a Crime: US Attorney General

Justice Staffers Won't Be Prosecuted For Illegal Hiring Practices

NEW YORK — Former Justice Department officials will not face prosecution for letting improper political considerations drive hirings of prosecutors, immigration judges and other career government lawyers, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday.

he told delegates to the American Bar Association annual meeting, "not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime. In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws."

An internal investigation concluded last month that for nearly two years, top advisers to Gonzales discriminated against applicants for career jobs who weren't Republican or conservative loyalists.

The federal government makes a distinction between "career" and "political" appointees, and it's a violation of civil service laws and Justice Department policy to hire career employees on the basis of political affiliation or allegiance.

Bush: ‘I don’t see America having problems.’»

This evening, NBC interrupted its Olympics coverage of women’s gymnastics for an interview with President Bush. Last week, Bush gave a speech and expressed “deep concerns” with China’s “detention of political dissidents, human-rights advocates and religious activists.” Costas brought up this speech and asked about “America’s own problems.” Bush denied that America has any problems:

COSTAS: This past week, you restated America’s fundamental differences with China. But given China’s growing strength, and America’s own problems, realistically, how much leverage does the U.S. have here?

BUSH: First of all, I don’t see America having problems. I see America as a nation that is a world leader that has got great values.

Clip Source: www.neatorama.com

William O. "Wild Bill" Douglas (1898 - 1980) was the longest-serving justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. Here's what he has to say about free speech, freedom, and the government:

"The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom."

"It was against a background poignant with memories of evil procedures that our Constitution was drawn."

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

"An arrest is not justified by what the subsequent search discloses."

"Those who won our independence believed ... liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty."

"What a man thinks is of no concern to government."

"Words uttered under coercion are proof of loyalty to nothing but self-interest."

How hemp became marijuana and marijuana became illegal

William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.

In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.

Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises.

War Hero?

John McCain is running as a war hero.

There are just a few problems with that.

He's despised by fellow Vets, especially fellow POWs, not only for cooperating with the enemy, but also for blocking every effort to make sure all American POWs were returned after the war.

Interestingly enough, the other veteran who obstructed truth on the matter was John Kerry, the fake candidate and Skull and Bones member who ran against Bush in 2004 and stepped aside in spite of massive and obvious electoral fraud in Ohio.

Newsweek:

The youthful insouciance that for many years has helped McCain charm reporters like me is now channeled into an ad that one GOP strategist labeled "juvenile," another termed "childish" and McCain's own mother called "stupid."

Time:

A few months ago, I wrote that John McCain was an honorable man and he would run an honorable campaign. I was wrong.

The New York Times:

Mr. McCain

accused Mr. Obama of canceling a visit to wounded American troops in a German military hospital because news cameras were not allowed. That’s a false account of what occurred — and Mr. McCain ignored Mr. Obama’s unheralded visit to a combat hospital in Baghdad.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

The hit comes on top of a patently untrue charge – repeated by McCain on "Larry King Live" – that Obama snubbed wounded soldiers in Germany by canceling a visit to a military hospital.

The Washington Post:

no evidence that the charge is true.

REP. TAMMY BALDWIN:

Over the past several years, serious questions have been raised about the conduct of high-ranking administration officials in relation to some of the most basic elements of our democracy: respect for the rule of law, the principle of checks and balances, and the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

Americans want to know whether our nation’s highest-ranking officials broke the law to justify the invasion of Iraq

whether today the Bush White House is planning to illegally attack Iran

whether their private conversations are being listened to by government officials unconcerned about restraints placed upon them by the Constitution; whether our nation is holding individuals in secret prisons

who authorized torture and rendition

They wonder whether this administration will forever change what it means to be an American.
