The
provision of the Trading with the Enemies Act of 1917, as modified on March 9,
1933 (search Congressional Record, March 9, 1933, Emergency Banking Act,
Trading with the Enemies Act), to include American citizens as enemies is now
about to be more fully implemented.
(BTW, this is the “secret” provision that Obama used to justify the
murder of an American citizen) With
this new proposed law, I suppose that they have to fill those camps that
Haliburton built to justify their $435M cost.
The camp, just southwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, by itself, can hold 2M
people; and, during the winter, I bet you can turn over the population every 2
weeks or so. That’s better than what the
Nazi’s accomplished. There are
approximately 800 camps throughout the United States, fully staffed but
currently sitting empty, Alaska being the largest. These were established under Rex-84,
Operation Cable Splicer and Operation Garden Plot, by executive orders of the
Reagan administration (Google for more information).
Do
nothing and this is what you are facing for you and your family.
Senate
Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial
NDAA
detention provision would turn America into a “battlefield”
Saturday,
November 26, 2011
The
Senate is set to vote on a bill next week that would define the whole of the
United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to arrest American
citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.
“The
Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every
future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison
without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. The power is so broad
that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military
could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself,”
writes Chris Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.
Under
the ‘worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial’ provision of
S.1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which is set to be up for
a vote on the Senate floor Monday, the legislation will “basically say in law
for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield,” said Sen.
Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who supports the bill.
The
bill was drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain
(R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any
kind of hearing. The language appears in sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA
bill.
“I
would also point out that these provisions raise serious questions as to who we
are as a society and what our Constitution seeks to protect,” Colorado Senator
Mark Udall said in a speech last week. One section of these provisions, section
1031, would be interpreted as allowing the military to capture and indefinitely
detain American citizens on U.S. soil. Section 1031 essentially repeals the
Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by authorizing the U.S. military to perform law
enforcement functions on American soil. That alone should alarm my colleagues
on both sides of the aisle, but there are other problems with these provisions
that must be resolved.”
This
means Americans could be declared domestic terrorists and thrown in a military
brig with no recourse whatsoever. Given that the Department of Homeland
Security has characterized behavior such as buying gold, owning guns, using a
watch or binoculars, donating to charity, using the telephone or email to find
information, using cash, and all manner of mundane behaviors as potential
indicators of domestic terrorism, such a provision would be wide open to abuse.
“American
citizens and people picked up on American or Canadian or British streets being
sent to military prisons indefinitely without even being charged with a crime.
Really? Does anyone think this is a good idea? And why now?” asks Anders.
The
ACLU is urging citizens to call their Senator and demand that the Udall
Amendment be added to the bill, a change that would at least act as a check to
prevent Americans being snatched off the streets without some form of
Congressional oversight.
Under
the National Defense Authorization Act bill, no declaration of martial law is
necessary since Americans would now be subject to the same treatment as
suspected insurgents in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
If
you thought that the executive assassination of American citizens abroad was
bad enough, now similar powers will be extended to the “homeland,” in other
words, your town, your community, your back yard.
