TWO 'ACTS' OF TYRANNY ON THE SAME DAY!
Daneen G. Peterson, Ph.D.
The second act of tyranny took place in a private Oval Office ceremony, in which the president signed into law the 'John Warner National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007' which essentially eliminates the protections of the Posse Comitatus Act and re-wrote the Insurrection Act. The NDAA will allow the president to declare a 'public emergency' and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to 'suppress public disorder'!
About The Military Commissions Act of 2006 . . .
"A writ of habeas corpus which is Latin for 'you have the body' [as proof] is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he should be released from custody."(1)
"The writ of habeas corpus serves as an important check on the manner in which state courts pay respect to federal constitutional rights. The writ is 'the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action'."(1)
The Signing of the Military Commissions Act (MCA) of 2006
Expressing the pessimist's view was law professor Jonathan Turley who wrote: "The Congress just gave the president despotic powers and you could hear a yawn across the country [. . . ] People clearly don't realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country. What happened today changed us. And I'm not too sure we're going to change back anytime soon."(2)
Turley also said that: "What, really, a time of shame this is for the American system. What the Congress did and what the president signed today essentially revokes over 200 years of American principles and values."(3)
You can watch this MSNBC video where Keith Olbermann and guest Jonathon Turley, Constitutional Law professor at George Washington University discuss the Military Commissions Act here.
About the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007 . . .
The NDAA essentially eliminated the Posse Comitatus Act and re-wrote the Insurrection Act so that the president can declare a 'public emergency' and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to 'suppress public disorder'!
"The historic and ominous re-writing of the Insurrection Act, accomplished in the dead of night, which gives Bush the legal authority to declare martial law, is now an accomplished fact."(4)
"In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually encourage the President to declare federal martial law. It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President’s ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions."(4)
The Signing of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007
What 'Rights' Have Been Taken From You?
"On September 28, by a vote of 65-34, the Senate formally passed S. 3930, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA). The next day, the House of Representatives followed suit, passing the act by a vote of 250-170, . . . [whereby] "alien unlawful enemy combatants ... [to be] subject to trial by military commissions" without the constitutional safeguards American citizens possess against illegal detainment and judicial railroading."(5)
As far as an American citizen is concerned the definition of the term 'unlawful enemy combatant' has ominous import for them. The law states the following:
"(1) UNLAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANT - (A) The term 'unlawful enemy combatant' means--"(6)
"(ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the president or the secretary of defense ."(6)
-
"(i) a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co-belligerents who is not a lawful enemy combatant (including a person who is part of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, or associated forces); or "(6)
All Americans should know that the suspension of the 'writ of habeas corpus' by the 'Military Commissions Act of 2006' is a violation of Article 1, Section 9 of the U. S.Constitution which states: "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."
Gonzales: ‘There Is No Express Grant of Habeas Corpus In The Constitution’
Yesterday, [1/18/07] during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales . . . was debating Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) about whether the Supreme Court’s ruling on Guantanamo detainees last year cited the constitutional right to habeas corpus. Gonzales claimed the Court did not cite such a right, [Specter disagreed] then [Gonzales] added, “There is no express grant of habeas in the Constitution.”
Specter pushed back. “Wait a minute. The constitution says you can’t take it away, except in the case of rebellion or invasion. Doesn’t that mean you have the right of habeas corpus, unless there is an invasion or rebellion?”
You MUST watch this EXTREMELY DISTURBING video: http://www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/videos/GonzalesOnHabeas.html#Title
Ominously, the full text of the 'Military Commissions Act of 2006' was published by the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). The fact that the CFR published the 'Act' would appear to be prima facie evidence of the Shadow Government's support for its genesis!(6)
The Center for Constitutional Rights commented that the: "Congress is now rubber-stamping a bill that was written by the President which gives the President expansive power to detain without judicial oversight. If the Military Commissions Act is passed, it will grant the President the privilege of kings, allowing him to imprison any critics as alleged ‘enemy combatants,’ never to see the inside of a court room or to have the chance to challenge their detention or their treatment. What would we say if another country passed a law making it legal to snatch U.S. citizens and detain them indefinitely?”(7)
Sadly, the American Forces Press Service, propagandized the signing by utilizing the most common form of deception . . . omission. Read how they announced the signing but uttered not one peep about the potentially devastating future it has unleashed.(8)
Senator John Warner
Martial Law Now Stalks America . . .
On October 17, 2006, "Public Law 109-364, or the 'John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of 2007' (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a 'public emergency' and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to 'suppress public disorder'.”(5)
What the National Defense Authorization Act does is end the Posse Comitatus Act of 1787. Posse Comitatus is Latin for 'power of the country.' It WAS a "law, [that] was championed by far-sighted Southern lawmakers in 1878. They had experienced a fifteen year military occupation by the US Army in post-Civil War law enforcement. They understood the heel of a jackboot."(9)
"In a nutshell, this act bans the Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines from participating in arrest, searches, seizure of evidence and other police-type activity on U.S. soil. The Coast Guard and National Guard troops under the control of state governors are excluded from the act."(9)
All these new tyrannical laws have been created obsessively to combat the amorphous concept of 'fighting terrorism' . . . an undefined and ever present boogey man. So not only is the military now permitted to be used around the country, the president can take over the National Guard and the Coast Guard too. It can happen under ANY pretext, at which time the president will become the dictator-in-chief.
According to Gen. Tommy Franks, martial law will replace the Constitution after the next terror attack. In an interview with Cigar Aficionado he said: “It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”(10)
Written Dissent to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007:
No matter your opinion of Cynthia McKinney, her 26 page dissent of the NDAA of 2007 is very compelling and highlights the damage and erosion, of tasks and performance, taking place between the police and the military in direct contradiction of our Constitution. The following excerpt is from the section concerning the issue of Posse Comitatus [pp. 30-31 .pdf (pp. 528-529)] which can be found here: (11)
This Authorization should also have reaffirmed the principle of Posse Comitatus for military forces, police and contracted security or combat forces. This Constitutional principle creates a bright line between military and police functions.
In the wake of the attacks on September 11, 2001, the Bush administration has continued to make widespread and unnecessary changes in laws and administrative powers that undermine the most basic Constitutional principles and protected rights of citizens in a democracy [ours is a Constitutional Republic].
Recently, both President Bush and Senator Mark Warner (VA) have renewed calls to undermine or reverse the Posse Comitatus Act of 1867 [sic - i.e.,1878], which re-established the Constitutional principle and practice of separating military and police functions in a democracy [ours is a Constitutional Republic].
The experience of the founding fathers with the British model that combined the functions was enough to cause them to set that division sharply in administrative powers and civilian command of the military.
The principles began to be eroded in the period following the end of the Civil War, and the effective occupation of areas of the south by federal troops who were holding military tribunals, carrying out executions of citizens and usurping local police and judicial control. Their excesses came to the attention of the post-war Congress and they passed the Posse Comitatus Act to forbid the military being used to enforce laws.
Further erosion followed the end of the Vietnam War, when police departments were increasingly militarized in training and equipment as well as employing a large number of returning war veterans. SWAT teams were created, a clearly militarized police function, getting training on military bases with advanced weapons.
When President George H.W. Bush came into office in the 1980s, his programs made increased use of military troops and equipment in the war against drugs, supporting police and collecting intelligence in regard to civilian crimes. Joint Military Task Forces were created that combined DoD, FBI, SWAT, ATF and local police in sieges at Wounded Knee, Waco, Texas and against MOVE in Philadelphia, using tanks and military explosives.:,
President Bush has ample authority under provisions of existing laws on disaster response to mobilize and command any and all federal assets, including military forces. State directed National Guard units have always worked in conjunction with federal troops without being put under federal control themselves. Both National Guard and regular military forces are authorized under federal and state laws to use force to protect lives, property and public safety during a declared emergency. Police functions have been wisely left to local police and state National Guard forces, except when the situation was so dire they could not function.
The National Security Presidential Order - NSPD 51
On May 9, 2007 the president signed the National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) 51 which completes the 'ground work' for nation-wide martial law and a totalitarian police state. The One World Monopolists are NOT going to take the chance that we future slaves will be able to thwart them as they go forward with their plans for the NAU, so they have created their 'Ace in the hole'. They can now call for martial law at their WHIM. Any event that takes place ANYWHERE in the United States can now trigger placing the WHOLE COUNTRY under martial law! They have essentially 'covered all their bases' and we are now in dire jeopardy.
What the National Security Presidential Directive - NSPD 51 and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive - HSPD-20 have done is CLOSE A LOOP HOLE IN THE NDAA which would have allowed debate, discussion, or demands that an event that happens in California, or some other state, should NOT require martial law in some or ALL other parts of the country. This Presidential Directive was written to CLOSE THE GAPS IN THE NDAA!
The NSPD 51 directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."(39)(40)
- mass casualties affecting the U.S. population = 9/11
- mass damage affecting infrastructure = Katrina or 9/11
- mass damage affecting environment = Katrina or 9/11
- mass disruption severely affecting U.S. economy = Ohio Valley, Mississippi River flooding in few years ago.
- mass disruption of government functions = Katrina (local government) or 9/11 national gov't . . . which required the emptying the Capitol Bldg, while Cheney is in a bunker and the president is flying all over the country and thus the White House is unmanned and the Pentagon is burning disrupting MILITARY functions which are PART of the government.
Mark Koernke's 'Martial Law' Clarion Call ~ 15 Years Before the Rest of Us Woke Up!
Mark Koernke (Pronounced CornKey) - often referred to by his nickname, "Mark from Michigan" - has been one of the forerunners of the growth of the patriot militia movement.
Through a combination of shortwave radio broadcasts, widely distributed videotapes and personal appearances, the university maintenance worker, with important and relevant governmental experience and credentials, has used his speaking skills to spread a warning about the coming "New World Order".
Koernke is one of the leaders in the growth of the militia movement which gained widespread attention after being "mistakenly" linked to the Oklahoma City bombing. He believes we MUST prepare for the worst of times because he knows what the government is doing in secret and what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FEMA police, are really all about.
Watch this extremely informative lecture by Mark who exquisitely details HOW the U.N., in collusion with our government, is taking over America, which WILL become a totalitarian police state unless we act. The video was recorded some time during 1993. You will be horrified by the FACTS he relates, which are frightening beyond all measure. By now, it should be evident to all that martial law is imminent, and will be used to 'suppress public disorder' no matter WHO sits in the presidential chair. WAKE UP!
An addendum: An interview of Mark Koernke by Sam Donaldson here.
We Are Inexorably Moving Towards A Police State . . . Think Not?
Montebello, Quebec, Canada Trilateral SPP 'Summit' Meeting, August 20-21, 2007
Tanks for use by police, against whom?
"Will we let the elite pull the plug on Canada's sovereignty? A documentary exploring the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and how it is a stepping stone for an eventual North American Union (NAU). The film also explores the resistance movement to the SPP-NAU during the protests of August 2007 Summit Meeting in Montebello, Canada."
SPP-NAU Lies vs. Truth
This video will make fools of Harper and Bush by juxtaposing their Montebello press conference LIES, just three months later, when the TRUTH is revealed by a government official during his Manatoba Province 'Throne Speech'. It's PRICELESS!
What is Truth?
For the doubters and questioners: The truth is just like viewing pornographic art . . . 'you'll know it when you see it!'
REMEMBER: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." ~ Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945
They were 'Scornful' Of The Militia Then . . . But NOW We Know the TRUTH!
Were YOU part of this 1994 Phil Donahue audience about the militia? Do you understand TODAY what the 'show' was all about . . . or is 'ignorance still bliss'?
Wouldn't it be interesting to re-visit the members of Donahue's audience to see if they are still so contemptuous, disdainful, sneering, insulting, and mocking of those brave souls who tried to educate them about the need for our Constitutionally 'NECESSARY' militia?
You will wonder if they have FINALLY come to the realization that martial law is now on our 'doorstep'. Do you suppose that they have changed their 'views' about the need for "[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" as stated in the Second Amendment to our Constitution? Perhaps . . . but only if they have a 'clue' about what is happening all around them.
Congressional Testimony Concerning The Second Amendment . . .
Watch this 2003 Congressional testimony by Suzanna Gratia-Hupp as she 'nails' what the Second Amendment REALLY means. She was a Texas state representative, whose parents were killed by an insane gunman while her legally registered and 'right to carry' gun was out in her car because she feared violating recent restrictive government regulations. She gives a very moving and bold testimony about the TRUE reason for the Second Amendment, which was designed to protect our God-given right to keep and bear arms.
Will the Collapse of the Economy 'Trigger' Martial Law?
If the dollar collapses, and/or stock market crashes . . . will there be a need to 'suppress public disorder' by calling forth martial law nationwide under the laws found in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007 and the NSPD 51 (National Security Presidential Directive)?
Be afraid America, be VERY afraid! Join a militia near you and do your Constitutional DUTY.
Executive Orders and PDDs Say How They Will ENFORCE Martial Law!
Once martial law is invoked, then the Executive Orders (EOs) concerned with national security or defense issues are then ALSO invoked. These were previously known as National Security Directives. Under the Clinton Administration, they were renamed 'Presidential Decision Directives', commonly known as PDDs.
For example PDD 63, issued in 1998 that speaks to protecting America's critical infrastructure "including telecommunications, banking and finance, energy, and transportation-that supports the U.S. economy, government, and military."(12)
"The aim of PDD 63 was to introduce an improved information system infrastructure that is secure and interconnected by the year 2003, and to significantly increase security to government systems by the year 2000. PDD 63 designed a new configuration to protect the country's critical infrastructure. Some of the components are as follows:
-
A national coordinator to handle critical infrastructure, as well as foreign terrorism and domestic mass destruction;
-
The National Infrastructure Protection Center at the Federal Bureau of Investigation to bring together representatives from various agencies for information sharing and collaboration;
-
Information Sharing and Analysis Center to be set up by the private sector in cooperation with the government;
- A National Infrastructure Assurance Council made up of private sector leaders and state/local officials to provide advice for a national plan; . . ."
Executive Orders (EOs) are legally binding orders given by the President, acting as the head of the Executive Branch, to Federal Administrative Agencies. Executive Orders are generally used to direct federal agencies and officials in their execution of congressionally established laws or policies. However, in many instances they have been used to guide agencies in directions contrary to congressional intent.
Executive Orders do not require Congressional approval to take effect but they have the same legal weight as laws passed by Congress. The President's source of authority to issue Executive Orders can be found in the Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution which grants to the President the "executive Power."
Section 3 of Article II further directs the President to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." To implement or execute the laws of the land, Presidents give direction and guidance to Executive Branch agencies and departments, often in the form of Executive Orders."
But Today's Executive Orders Go FAR Beyond Those Rules As These Quotes Attest . . .
"Stroke of the pen. Law of the Land. Kinda cool."
Paul Begala, former Clinton advisor, The New York Times, July 5, 1998 (13)
"We've switched the rules of the game. We're not trying to do anything legislatively."
Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, The Washington Times, June 14, 1999 (13)
Read over the following Executive Orders so you can understand what TOTAL, COMPLETE, and DICTATORIAL POWER these orders will invoke. Go here to search for the actual text for the Executive Orders as well at the current disposition of those Executive Orders: (14)
Go to that Federal Register and check out the following Executive Orders: 13010, 13130, 13228, 13231, 13234, 14284, 13284, 13286 (transfers control of 12919 to DHS).
Pay Particular Attention to Executive Order 12919 . . .
The president of the United States, with the help of federal agencies, will have control over the following, as annotated by Paula Demers in 1996: (15)
(b) All forms of energy, including "petroleum, gas (natural and manufactured), electricity, solid fuels (including all forms of coal), atomic energy, and the production, conservation, use, control, and distribution (including pipelines)." This means the federal government will have complete control over who will have power (electricity, etc.) and who won’t. They will be able to "pull the plug" on us at their discretion.
(c) All farm equipment. Farmers will not have to be part of "the production or preparation for market use of food resources." They did this in Russia. The farmers worked for the government.
(d) All fertilizer. This means that any product, or combination of products that contain one or more of the elements--nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium--will be able to be confiscated by the government. The reason they have this combination is because it includes anything that can be used as a plant nutrient. If you want a garden, forget it.
(e) All food resources. ALL means ALL. This includes all "commodities and products, simple, mixed, or compound, or complements to such commodities or products that are being ingested by either human beings or animals...." This includes all "starches, sugars, vegetable and animal or marine fats and oils, cotton, tobacco, wool mohair, hemp, flax fiber, and naval stores." That means they can come into your house and take all your food. Period. Catherine Bertini, the executive director "UN World Food Program" made an interesting comment in Beijng, China, at the UN 4th World Conference on Women in September, 1995. She said, "Food is power. We use it to change behavior. Some may call that bribery. We do not apologize." [Henry Kissinger has infamously said: 'Food can be used as a weapon!']
(f) All food resource facilities. This means "plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for production, processing, distribution and storage (including cold food storage)." They go on to say that it includes "livestock and poultry feed and seed." In other words, they will control anything that has to do with food.
(j) All health resources. This means EVERYTHING. They will have control over all "materials, facilities, health supplies, and equipment (including pharmaceutical, blood collecting and dispensing supplies, biological, surgical textiles, and emergency surgical instruments and supplies)." They will be able to come into your home and take your medicines.
(k) All metals and minerals. [Think gold and silver confiscation]
(m) All water resources. ALL usable water from all of the sources within the jurisdiction of the United States. All the water that can be "managed, controlled and allocated to meet emergency requirements." Not only will they be able to turn off your water supply, they can come and take any water you have stored in your house.
-
(a) All transportation, "regardless of ownership." This means that if they need your car, they’ve got it. They will control all public transportation also.
Did you know that some senators in the state of Washington were working to get a bill passed that would require you to obtain a permit in order to collect rainwater on you own property? Who were the sponsors of such an absurdity? Why they included a Rockefeller of course, who else? What did Senator Dick Boxlightner have to say about such insanity: "What's next, a permit for collecting strawberries off plants in your garden?" Little does Senator Boxlightner know that's EXACTLY where they are heading.(16)

You can watch the video of the National Guard Confiscating Guns in New Orleans on the Stop the North Ameican Union 'Videos' webpage found here to see how they violated and infringed our 2nd Amendment Constitutional right "to keep and bear Arms." Or . . . you can purchase and donate to the NRA at the same time by purchasing their video Never Again! A Shocking Story of Gun Confiscation in America.
How did we arrive at this sorry state of affairs? There is a solid article written in 1996 titled Mission creep: the militarizing of America. Unfortunately, it is not referenced, but it will guide you through the maze of events that brought into being these outrageous rights-stealing new laws.(33)
Sadly . . . Karl Rove Got His Desired Martial Law!
As part of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act of 2007, the Pentagon is provided an additional $500 billion plus to enable the president to employ the "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies . . . [such as] interference with State and Federal law . . . the President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of (”refuse” or “fail” in) maintaining public order, “in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy.”(4)
Once Arrested for 'Insurrection' or 'Domestic Violence' Where Will You Be Incarcerated?
"There [are] over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached."(23)
"The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a "mass exodus" of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons."(23)
"Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation."(23)
"The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners. Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people." (23)
Kellogg Brown and Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide “temporary detention and processing capabilities” in January 2006.(34)
The Propaganda Is That They Are Being Built For Rounding Up Illegal Aliens . . .
It has been REPEATEDLY stated by government sources that it is not "practical or feasible" to deport millions of illegal aliens. However, our government apparently has plans to transport millions of Americans across the country and imprison them in concentration camps, or gulags or 'detention centers.' For what purpose or reason? For more details and locations see "FEMA Concentration Camps: Locations and Executive Orders here, including a word of caution from a Canadian Lady who questions some of the Canadian locations because of weather conditions, not by sightings]: (23)(35)
If you live near any of those alleged FEMA camps, it is your civic DUTY as American citizens to go to the locations mentioned in the 'FEMA Concentration Camps' report and determine for yourself, and others, if the report is accurate or not. If you find that these locations are not as identified, then you MUST report that to the website and others. If they ARE as stated then further their knowledge base with photographs and any other evidence you may obtain.
"In September [2005], NORTHCOM conducted its highly classified Granite Shadow exercise in Washington. As William Arkin reported in the Washington Post, 'Granite Shadow is yet another new Top Secret and compartmented operation related to the military's extra-legal powers regarding weapons of mass destruction. It allows for emergency military operations in the United States without civilian supervision or control'."(29)
Still Don't Believe It's True? Then Read This . . . (36)
Another Surprise! . . . the SAME DAY that the John Warner NDAA was signed the Army was ready:
As part of Army transformation, USARNORTH was formed to become the dedicated Army service component command to Northern Command, the unified command responsible for defending the homeland and coordinating defense support of civil authorities.
Located at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, USARNORTH achieved initial operating capability in September 2005, and is responsible for specific missions, including:
For the past 12 months, USARNORTH has been building its organization, readiness and mission capability. USARNORTH officially assumed the Army component command duties from Forces Command on Oct. 1.(37)
-
U.S. Army North, the Army’s newest service component command reached full operational capability Monday, which means that it is fully manned, equipped and ready to assume its mission.
-
-
Execute homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions.
-
Provide training and readiness oversight of certified weapons of mass destruction—[for] civil support teams.
-
Conduct the Army-to-Army portion of the theater cooperation mission with Canada and Mexico.
-
Coordinate the activities of defense coordinating officers and their elements assigned in each Federal Emergency Management Agency region.
- Organize up to two task forces that, with augmentation, can become joint task forces and deploy within the operational area to command and control Department of Defense forces responding to homeland defense or civil support operations.
-
Execute homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions.
And . . . Where Will the Army Practice its Defense of the Homeland?
After all the uproar over the nationwide military base closings under BRAC, the "U.S. Army is eyeing another MILLION ACRES of southeastern Colorado ranch and croplands for additional training grounds for its modernized Army, and landowners who don't want to lose their homesteads could be facing condemnation proceedings. . . The protest group said Las Animas County likely will be the most impacted by an army site expansion, and there are 567 farms and ranches with crop sales of $761,000 and livestock sales of more than $20 million that would be endangered."(38)
Those that are fighting to keep their land out of the clutches of the military-industrial complex have said: "Agriculture is one of the cornerstones of society, even though many people take it for granted, it is very much a national security issue. The United States is already dependent on foreign oil, what will happen if we become dependent on foreign countries for our food supplies as well? . . . We also hold firm to the belief that our national security relies as much on our efforts to produce food as it does on a good national defense. The group said entire towns would be removed from existence, 'except as maybe [those that are useful as] urban warfare training sites'."(38)
In a 'dodge' by the military's spokeswoman Karen Edge at the Fort Carson Army Base, it was stated that those concerns were premature. 'All we've done is identify a training land deficit,' . . . There currently is a moratorium on acquiring more land, so the Army will have to ask the Department of Defense for a waiver, and move forward from there.(38)
"Army officials said the base needs to have 'a dynamic, fully integrated battlefield environment' to train soldiers who are able to operation [sic] in smaller units and still control 'significantly greater battle space'." This quest for land is in addition to the 234,000 acres currently existing at Fort Carson.(38)
To Recap . . .
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 (NDAA) eliminated Posse Comitatus that once restricted the military from policing duties on American soil and also 'revised' the Insurrection Act. As such, the NDAA permits the President to declare MARTIAL LAW and to deploy troops as a police force: 'during a natural disaster, epidemic, serious public health emergency, terrorist attack, OR OTHER CONDITIONS', when the President determines that the authorities of the state are 'incapable of maintaining public order'.
So . . . in a 'nutshell' . . . the NDAA will allow the president to arbitrarily declare a 'public emergency,' call forth the military, take control of state-based National Guard, without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to 'suppress public disorder'!
Meanwhile the Military Commission Act of 2006 (MCA) which eliminated the writ of habeas corpus means that IF you do not do exactly as the military commands you, YOU can be called an 'unlawful enemy combatant'. At which time you will be subjected to a Combatant Status Revue Tribunal or OTHER tribunal which can be formed by the president or the Secretary of Defense. Without habeas corpus and its Constitutional safeguards you no longer have a way to end illegal detainment and judicial railroading. They can call you an 'unlawful enemy combatant', put you in jail, and throw away the key.
ANY declaration of martial law will invoke Executive Orders (EOs) that will permit forced relocations, work camps, detention camps for civilians, and a plethora of other 'lawful orders' . . . that will control of every facet of life in this country down to the finest detail.
Be afraid America . . . be VERY afraid!
Lastly, a peek into your future . . .
In the small town of Morristown, TN: "The khaki-clad state troopers hup-hupped into formation on opposite sides of the courthouse lawn, wearing riot gear and clutching batons. About 100 state and local officers stood on the square this summer, some carrying M-16 rifles. They were more than a match for an equal number of mostly middle-aged locals arriving for the anti-illegal immigration rally. It was one of the most confounding spectacles this little town of 25,000 had ever seen. The only way to step on the lawn between the rows of troopers was through a security checkpoint, surrendering anything that looked like it could be used as a weapon. Ted Mitchell and his flag never made it in."(41)
"'It's an American flag!' Mitchell sputtered. You can bring the flag into the rally, a police officer explained, but you have to leave your flag pole. Mitchell's face got redder. His yelling got louder. In an instant the 62-year-old man was scuffling with the police. They pushed him to the ground, cuffed him and carted him off in a police car."(41)
Just where will they take the future, perhaps MILLIONS of flag waving patriots like Ted Mitchell? Watch this video detailing the preparations for the coming gulags or as they are euphemistically known as, 'detention centers' here on the Stop the North American Union (NAU) website's 'Videos' webpage.
The Conclusion . . .
The goal of the One World Monopolists is to gain total and complete world domination. An oligarchy of monied elites who believe they are destined to rule and that you are destined to be ruled. They will answer to no one and run the world as they see fit.
According to Antony Sutton, a research fellow for the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University: "While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to go political and make society go to work for the monopolists-- under the name of the public good and the public interest."(42)
"Frederick C. Howe revealed the strategy of using government in a 1906 book, Confessions of a Monopolist: These are the rules of big business . . . Get a monopoly; let society work for you; and remember that the best of all business is politics . . . "(42)
Are we moving from . . . Freedom to Fascism as the Aaron Russo's documentary video claims? You can watch his film which is archived on the Stop the North American Union 'Videos' webpage found here and judge for yourself!
The 'Shadow Government' working in plain sight, to create the North American Union using the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). They are well on their way to a One World Monopoly and they have begun their final mad dash to the finish line.
The oligarchs have become ever more arrogant and bold. They have concluded you are either asleep or brainwashed and propagandized into complacency. They are so close to complete conquest that they are now blatantly abusing our Constitution, Bill of Rights and laws in more ways than you can imagine in your wildest of dreams.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be. ~ Thomas Jefferson
