Nothing to be concerned about eh sceptics?

Bush Moves Toward Martial Law
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 (1). 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.

Public Law 109-364, or the "John Warner 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."

The concern is well founded. You too should be concerned..

They DID do 9/11, and I think you all know damn well it's true. And if they are capable of that, what else are they capable of...

Just imagine the implications of another major false flag terrorist operation on the homeland...

This kind of shit just HAS to STOP!

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:...

It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis." FEMA's powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate the...

Question: Would you have known about this new law, signed in the oval office just last month, enabling the President to use the US Armed Forces against the people of the United States, at his discretion, under the pretext of a public emergency to quell dissent - if you did not read about it here?

Perhaps Alex Jones is correct, that next they will come for the guns to disarm the populace.

Now why on earth would they feel that the President must be given this discretion, and how hard would it be, particularly in light of 9/11, to produce the required "public emergecy" and declare Marshall Law in the United States?

Anyone got that quote by Henry Kissenger that was captured from one of their Bilderberger meetings, about the people of LA submiting to an invasion by UN forces..?

Oh lord no! Not that! We're all doomed!

Why, that executive order gives the Housing and Finance authority the legal means to relocate people like the refugees from Katrina, and other dastardly deeds!
"Build new housing with public funds"!?!?! Free housing for relocated people?!?!? If that isn't proof of the NWO evil schemes, I don't know what is!


Seriously though, why are you up in arms about these orders? What do you imagine that they'll be used for?

Please respond to the first post. Thanks.

Sure.... I read up a little bit on the act, but before I post my view, let me ask you: Can you imagine what that provision could be used for, besides evil NWO-type stuff? And did you read anything about the act, besides the little doom and gloom story on infowars.com?

Of course these bills cover a very wide range of things, but for the purposes of this thread, we are referring specifically, to this section:

-------------------------------------------------

Also, please reply regarding the concentration camp video. Thank you. And nothing I've posted is from infowars.com btw.

Content of original post

Last question, repeated. Would you have known about this if you did not read it here?

Oh and was your reference to the handling of Katrina refugees supposed to be a demonstration of the good will and proper stewarship by the PTB? And wasn't the Posse Comitatus Act violated in that case, for all the good that it did. Katrina appeared to me anyway, to be a government experiment in visible human depravity.

Oh sorry... I assumed you read the opinion piece on infowars.com, since they had exact same piece that you posted up on their site...

You didn't really answer my question:

So i'll try to rephrase it and ask again:

Have you read anything about that act, besides the opnion-piece that you posted in your first post?

Can you imagine any situation, besides a coup or other evil NWO-related incident, where that act would be used, and where it might be practical?

And yeah, I have read alittle about next years defence budget...

First of all, I'll reply to the posts i feel like/have the time to reply to. Second of all, what "concentrationcamp" video are you talking about?

I've offered the actual provision itself, taken right from the bill, which obviously gives the President WIDE discretion, to employ the US Armed Forces against "insurgents". Other scenarios are referenced there right in the bill itself. No need to read about it, and the statement in the initial post about it, is entirely accurate. There was no deceptive interpretation offered there.

And the Concentration Camp Video was given in the first post immediately thereafter.

What, you think you can control the debate by asking all the questions? Some things are just self evident, and available for one and all to interpret and draw their own conclusions.

Read the provision itself, for starters, and then enlighten us as to how what I've posted was misleading.

Here's an example for you then. A crowd of protestors grows in size, and there are some minor problems with some vandalizm, and someone is injured (light voilence), and the police in that particular district are ill equipped to handle the crowds or refuse to take action, given the nature of the demonstration and its cause. The president then, *at his discretion*, while simply notifying Congress, afterwards, can send in the National Guard aka the US ARMY as a Federal Police action.

Read the frick'n bill, it's right there! And Katrina is a prime example as to why this should be of concern to people.
We have already seen that there is basically no end to the Bush administration's willingness to seriously abuse power!

Here it is again. Read it.

Pay particular attention to this part

...or other condition in any State or possession of the
United States, the President determines that--

Now, imagine the troops over in Iraq practicing their newound skills in "enforcement" on a crowd of American Citizens, factor in the other new laws regarding "enemy combatants" and the wider definitions of "terrorist", and then review that Concentration Camp video again, and then tell me there should be no "concern" whatsoever..

Then, just to hammer the point home, watch the twin towers go down at the rate of FREE FALL, such that the ejecting debris plume travells down along the path of maximum resistence, in the same amount of time a grand piano would take to fall from the same height, in nothing but AIR.

Think about it, process it.

Blah blah blah...

Are you here to spew your political rhetoric or to debate skeptics about the specifics of 911?

Bush sucks. He's the devil. NWO. Blah blah blah.

Try to stay withing the focus of the board.

For example, do you believe flight 77 hit the Pentagon?

Here is what I think about the twin towers' destruction

NIST and "The Foot Of God"
Robert Rice
http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/NISTand...0FootOfGod.html

How utterly ABURD the official story is about that occurance.

Back on topic..

Ok, and I can provide links to other sources too. But, that's been done 100 times over.

You didn't answer my question.

"Do you believe flight 77 hit the Pentagon?"

No I do not.

Then what happened to it/where did it go?

And, please don't give me the typical "that's not our job to determine.." line.

The link I provided was to my own article.

Here is my explanation re: Pentagon wall impact

http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_F...?showtopic=3157

And I do not know what happened to it, only that a Boeing 767 did NOT impact the Pentagon wall, as shown in that thread.

Back on topic..

And how did all this "evidence" get planted?

http://www.rense.com/general32/phot.htm

I'm not going further with this as the AA 77 crash has been documented ad infinitum and I think you know the evidence. You simply choose to ignore it.

But, if you have a few spare hours sometime I would love to see your theory/explanation surronding all of the events that transpied that tragic day.

From A to Z.

You cannot possibly get around the complete lack of verticle stabalizer wing (tail section) impact damage to the outer wall. It's elementary. Also, the plane would not fit into that hole, and the engines would damage the wall, or if they got in under the ledge, they would have touched down and left a ditch in the lawn leading up to the wall.

Btw, what did you think of my "Foot of God Hypothesis" article on the nature of the twin towers' decent?

<crickets>

Nope, no crickets here... Just people being busy with stuff like work, family, life etc. Well, on to the post!

That's the problem. And this is why I asked you have read other sources on the issue. Can I ask you what your credentials are? How many years have you practiced law... Let me guess, none?
You and me are laymen. We know very little about law, and how to interpret it compared to a judge or a lawyer. That's why you should consult other sources before you jump to a conclusion.

And yeah, I know that "you can read". But just like reading a manual for a Cessna plane doesn't make you a pilot. Just reading a law without consulting other sources doesn't make your interpretation of it correct.

No, not it a person is arrogant enough to believe that reading the text of a law makes him an expert in the judiciary.

Such as the fact that you're jumping to conclusions, without having done any research?
This is why I asked you if you consulted other sources, but I guess you' believe that the only opinion you need is your own.

Drawing your own conclusion can be part of the answer, but as I wrote above, reading an airplane manual doesn't make you a pilot. And it sure as hell doesn't make any sane person want to fly with you.

I doubt that any 9/11 event could attract more people than a small local policeforce would be equipped to deal with. Look at the anniversary this year. There was what... 1000? 2000 people there? At least half being non-violent hippies.

What... Bush was behind Katrina? Do elaborate... Katrina is actually a good example why the bill can be a good idea: A category 5 hurricane is on it way to a metropolis on the gulf coast. The state govenor, out of pride and ignorance ignores metherologists warnings. But the president in Washington DC doesn't want to take any chances. A day and a half before the hurricane makes landfall, he mobiilizes the army corps of engineers as well as an armydivision to strengthen the citys dikes, evacuate people, and uphold law and order in the days following the hurricane. I can think of lots of other examples where a law like this could comme in handy.


Oh, and I watched the "concentrationcamp" video. I can only say: LOL! LOL! LOL! :lol: :lol: :lol: :rolleyes:

The point involved the revision of the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States.

And it doesn't take a genious or a lawyer to see the discretion and latitude that the President is given regarding the deployment of the Armed Forces or the National Guard to quell any sort of public "insurgency", and I'm not just referring to 9/11 rallies either.. :rolleyes:

It's been a tradition that the government is not to use the Army on the people in instances of public disorder. You should read it again.

And what was funny about the Concentration Camp video. If that's just a train depot, for use only for train repair, then what are all the electric turnstyles for? the inward pointing barbed wire? WTF? That's all you have to say is LOL?

People, and the people reading this thread are not idiots. You don't have to be a lawyer to see that a primary aspect of that provision is all about the Presidential use of the Armed Forces to quell any sort of uprising and/or civil disorder-disobediance. All that's missing is the crisis, and we know they can manufacture those, and do create them.

You think we're whacked? You should read some of their speeches about manufactured crisis with which to dominate the masses. Again, anyone got that statement by Henry Kissenger, from that Bilderberger meeting?

Here it is:

Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will willingly be relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by their world government.

* Address to the Bilderberger organization meeting at Evian, France, on May 21, 1991, as transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the Swiss delegates

Source: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Henry_Kissinger

This is the same man the Pope just hired to be his political advisor..

I don't know but haven't most of those provisions always been there in time of emergency (maybe not spelled out ). Didn't Roosevelt order the internment of the Japanese Americans by an executive order.
In that long list of executive orders you don't think Lincoln would have had the authority to do the things listed.

It also doesn't take a genious to see that your opinion is just that. An opinion that has no basis in any legal or constitutional experience. Anyone have a right to an opinion, i'm not ciritizising that you have that right. What I have something against, is that you act like it's a irrefutable fact that it's a major setback for all sorts of civil rights and the signs of a police state. What's your basis for this claim? Nothing more than your own opinion, because you've read the law.

Reading a law is one thing. Understanding it is something else. And being able to put it into context and weigh pro's and con's is even harder. And something you're not capable of, I'm afraid...

That's odd. I swear I saw some national guardsmen in New Orleans during Katrina. And in New York after 9/11...

Yup LOL!... The video itself and the breathless narration was amusing. What really made it priceless was the (DUM-DUUM-DUUUM) black helicopter!

I mean come on... Did you believe the administrations evidence that Saddam had weapons of mas destuction too? Because that was a lot more believable.

What you see in the video could be pretty much anything. Turnstiles, barbed wire fence (A very low fence mind you) If barb wire and something that could be used as a guardtower is enough for a "concentration camp", I could take you to any industrial subdivision and show you dozens of camps...

Actually, I might know of another concentration camp with electric turnstiles and barbed wire... Ever been in New York? They have this humongous underground concentrationcamp with tunnels. Every entrance is guarded by turnstiles, and at some facilities they have barbed wire! Yes! The NY subway is a concentration camp, you read it here first!

Fabricated quote, nice! Do you have any reference to where that quote is from, besides "a swiss delegate"?

And no, I'm not accusing you of fabricating it. Probably some conspiracy theorists with a book to sell did it. :D

a couple of comments...

The law doesn't need to specifically say that it will be used for acts of suppression of dissenters in the US, it just needs to be open-ended enough so that first of all, people won't read it and freak out, and secondly, they ask their lawyers, "Hey if we pass this bill, could we do this?" They say, "Yea, you could get away with it. Maybe change a word or two and hope people don't notice".

You see, as is true with many things in politics, the apparent reason for doing a thing is seldom the true reason for doing that thing.

Are just retorting to spamming now, or don't you think we got it the first time?

Yup, sounds reasonable enough! Thank you congress! What a thoughtful and levelheaded piece of legislation!

You are just trying to sidetrack the main topic. It is about martial law, not flight 77.

We don't know what happened to Flight 77, thats when this becomes a "conspiracy theory" and not investegating. I can't tell you what happened to it, but there are some good clues that point to where. It is mostly speculation about what happend to the passengers and the aircraft.

BTW, still waiting for my link dump PM, or am I not worth your time?

Yer an idiot, Youll avoid a PM to me, but you want him to tell you everything from A-Z? Yer full a shit.

It would take months, not hours buddy ;)

You missed the rest of it. How convenient. :rolleyes:

And what on earth makes you think that skeptics find nothing disturbing about this and may even support this? You think that you have to be a Bush supporter to be a skeptic? I'm as liberal as they come. My conservative friends have chastised me for being so liberal. I've written many rants about how much I dislike Bush in my personal online journal, and this law in particular about Bush being able to more easily enforce martial law is also disturbing. However, I think this conspiracy theory is ridiculous.

So how do you fight back? Do you come up with a crazy conspiracy theory and try to pin it on Bush and his administration to make him appear to be an outright criminal? Or do you take a more ethical approach and speak out about his policies, like this one in particular, and make your voice be heard about that? After all, that's exactly how it's been done in the history of American politics.

Sign me up as a Bush-hater too, but I just don't believe that every law he signs is another step on the way to a fascist policestate.

For example there might be very good reasons to have the opportunity to use the military for domestic emergencies.

And Zero below also has a very good point. Crying "wolf" all the time only diminishes your credibility.
