Why H.R. 1995 was rammed through under cover of fire

"Paper is poverty, .... it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself."
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1788
Last
week while the horrific fires were burning up Southern California and
every major news network, including cable were providing non-stop coverage,
a very dangerous bill to liberty and freedom was passed by 404 members
of the U.S. House of Representatives. Called the 'Violent Radicalization
and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007', this bill is perfectly
summed up here:
"First
let's take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown
terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill. The definition of violent
radicalization uses vague language to define this term of promoting any
belief system that the government considers to be an extremist agenda.
Since the bill doesn't specifically define what an extremist belief
system is, it is entirely up to the interpretation of the government.
Considering how much the government has done to destroy the Constitution
they could even define Ron Paul supporters as promoting an extremist belief
system. Literally, the government according to this definition can define
whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially they have
defined violent radicalization as thought crime."
Why
was this bill passed now? Besides yours truly, thousands of economists
and constitutional activists have been warning for decades what will happen
if treaties like NAFTA were shoved down our throats destroying our most
important, productive job sectors along with the continued fleecing of
the people's purse. Let's look at some current data to bring things into
perspective and it's not pretty:
Foreclosures,
default notices
soar locally and across the state. October 26, 2007: "Home loan defaults
and foreclosures spiked again sharply in July, August and September throughout
California and the capital region, setting records and adding more stress
to an already-slumping housing market." Billions
in housing wealth at risk as foreclosures soar. October 26, 2007:
"More than $23.6 billion in California housing wealth will evaporate if
real estate prices continue to decline and foreclosures on subprime home
loans soar, according to a new congressional report that indicates the
fallout from the national mortgage crisis is worsening." Cash-strapped
Americans raiding their 401(k)s. October 14, 2007: "Despite potential
tax and investment problems, more investors have been borrowing from their
401(k) plans or taking hardship withdrawals in recent months, some retirement
plan providers say. Many in the field expect more borrowing in 2008, as
consumers struggle with tighter credit and potentially higher mortgage
payments."
2 Million
Americans Face Losing Their Home. October 26, 2007: "An influential
congressional committee warned yesterday that 2 million US families face
losing their homes in a "tidal wave" of repossessions with an estimated
cost of $71bn." US
loan default problems widen. October 21 2007: " Poor quarterly results
from banks across the US over the past two weeks suggest credit problems
once confined to high-risk mortgage borrowers are spreading across the
consumer landscape, posing new risks to the economy and weighing heavily
on the markets. US banks have raised reserves for loan losses by at least
$6bn over the second quarter and by even larger amounts from last year,
indicating financial executives believe consumers will be increasingly
unable to make payments on a variety of loans. " Goodbye
dollar, hello inflation. October 24, 2007: "In summary, expect continued
deterioration in the dollar's purchasing power and increases in inflation
over the longer term. Inflation will not be confined to the US; it has
appeared and will continue to appear in countries across the globe. Every
government will try their damnedest to paper over their monetary inflation
with ridiculous explanations and reconfigured price indexes which purport
to show "low inflation". Still, worldwide inflation is here and it is
only a question of which fiat currency will depreciate at the fastest
rate against relatively hard currencies and gold."
When
people have no money to spend except for food and shelter, it kills
the local economy. Retailers are already anticipating a dismal Christmas
season. Dr. Edwin Vieira has warned for decades this banking crisis was
coming. He pointed out in a column, March
17, 2005, that a monetary and banking crisis was on its way. In his
March 21, 2005,
column, Edwin said: "Pointing out these stories to a New Hampshire State
Legislator, I explained the logical connection among them: first, that
this country is on the verge of an inevitable financial melt-down; second,
that politicians are intent on making things even worse; and third, that
when the Ponzi pyramid collapses, the same politicians whose irresponsibility
caused the situation will impose draconian restrictions on common Americans
by means of police forces amply provided with weapons and heavy equipment
suitable for house-to-house fighting in Stalingrad."
Many
times I have reminded Americans that back in
1984, Lt. Col. Oliver North, directly helped draft a plan in 1984 at the
direction of Ronald Reagan to impose martial law in the United States
in the event of an emergency. This secret plan would suspend the U.S.
Constitution and turn over control of the government to the little known
agency at that time: FEMA. This plan would appoint military commanders
to run state and local governments - remember Katrina? Implementation
of this plan would have been triggered by violent and wide spread internal
dissent, disagreement with government policy or national opposition
to any U.S. military invasion abroad. Essentially, it amounted to
a complete and total suspension of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Many
times I have reminded Americans about a 1997 essay in the Sacramento
Bee titled: Our
Civilian-Military Face off, which also carried a sub headline: Bill
of Rights No Obstacle for the [Marine] Corps. This piece exposed the mindset
way back then that at some point due to: "...the rising potential for
civil disobedience within the inner cities it is 'inevitable' the U.S.
military will be employed more often within American borders." In
my March 10, 2005 column, I said that at some point, it was a given that
posse comitatus
is likely to be thrown out the window. WACO
was the test case in violation of posse comitatus which resulted in
our military burning and gassing to death 74 Americans, 17 of them children.
For the most part, America was silent and sickeningly, large numbers felt
the outcome was "necessary." Well, it came to pass and NWVs columnist,
Greg Evensen, former Kansas State Trooper, summed
it up quit succinctly:
"In
addition to this “group think” concerning the police “mission” of enforcing
the law—regardless of whether or not the law is righteous or constitutional---is
the recent historic change in federal law. I am referring to Public Law
109-364, or the “John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007” (HR5122)
(2), was signed by President Bush on October 17, 2006...It allows the
President to declare a “public emergency” and station troops anywhere
in America. Further, Section 1076 of this Act, entitled “Use of the Armed
Forces in Major Public Emergencies and Section 333 Major Public Emergencies--interference
with State and Federal Law, says that the President may use these forces
when HE determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent
that a State is incapable of (read that “refuse or fail” in) maintaining
public order, “in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic
violence, unlawful combination thereof or conspiracy to commit these acts
against the United States. This “repeal” of the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA)
is a deadly blow on this historic prevention of US army units intervening
in local disputes. The 1878 Act, protected local jurisdictions and even
states from the willful intervention of corrupted or dictatorial executive
branch orders being forced upon the locals by Army units in a law enforcement
capacity."
Back
in 1999, the International Association of Undercover Officers held a conference
and put out a manual titled 'Homegrown Extremists.' This manual will shock
you, i.e,. the Fully Informed Jury Association which teaches people about
their serious responsibilities as a juror is blasted as an extremist organization.
This is the kind of propaganda that was being jammed down the throats
of law enforcement almost a decade ago. Most certainly there are dangerous
groups in this country, but through toxic organizations like the Southern
"Poverty" Law Center, this type of propaganda is now standard fare for
law enforcement. Constitutionalists are deliberately lumped in with the
KKK and wacky cults. Pg 52 begins "Know your enemy" and they are white,
educated Christians. The
full manual is scanned here.
The
timing of the passage of H.R. 1955 was no accident; see
roll call of votes here. The fact that 404 members of the U.S. House
of Representatives voted for it tells me this collective body of dangerous
individuals that have taken this country, with the blessing of every past
president since Roosevelt, to the brink of financial ruin are now very
afraid of what's going to happen when the peasants (that's us) find themselves
left with nothing. Additionally, the push for a new, unbiased investigation
into 911 is turning into an unmanageable situation for the shadow government.
Tens
of millions of Americans do NOT want Bush to unconstitutionally
invade and bomb Iran, a non threatening country and should the peasants,
commonly referred to as the "working man", refuse to support this insanity,
a new draconian law will be in place to crush we the people. Many now
realize it's too late to stop exactly what Lou Dobbs so courageously railed
about on his show, October
26, 2007:
"And
the leadership, of course, emanating from Washington is brilliant dealing
with the issue of $92-a-barrel crude oil, a Middle East policy that is
a joke, an energy policy for this country that is nonexistent. This administration
and the previous absolutely derelict...And I love, I love these jackasses
in this administration, particularly in their -- the treasury secretary,
Henry Paulson, the commerce secretary, this president, all of them talk
coming together to create a super-fund for the money center banks, investment
banks in this country to put together maybe about $100 billion fund, so
that they won't have to suffer losses as a result of their bad credit
market investments and risk taken in their portfolios, particularly in
subprime mortgage. But we have got millions of people facing foreclosures,
the resets that you're talking about on those mortgages, ARMs that were
designed for the convenience of the industry. And this administration
and this Congress is not moving to deal with a way to relieve that debt
and that incredible pressure that it's going to put on middle- class families."
Empty
bellies make for angry mobs. How much do you have in your savings account
to keep emptying the ocean with a teaspoon? Are you one of the above borrowing
from your 401(k)? What will be left at "retirement" time to see to your
needs in your golden years? Crude closed at $92/per barrel last Friday;
when Bush took office it was $18/barrel. This winter, our fellow Americans
in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and the New England States will have
to face staying warm vs eating and/or dropping their health care premiums
because there's no money left in the till to pay another increase in heating
fuel oil. While Marxists like Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi eat off
gold plated china, Bush will continue to blow $10 BILLION dollars a month
on his insane wars and since there's no money in the treasury, that $10
BILLION will have to be borrowed and squeezed from we the people who have
nothing left to give. And, these buzzards in Congress just keep writing
hot checks:
Here
piggie, piggie! Billions in fed trough. "Millions earmarked for La
Raza radicals: $3.74 million for research into the Formosan Subterranean
Termite, requested by Reps. Rodney Alexander and Richard Baker of Louisiana;
$1.7 million for the Centers for Disease Control to fund a Hollywood liaison
to advise doctor dramas." While you're trying to figure out how to provide
health care insurance for your family, get them needed dental work, buy
shoes and little dresses, this is what these damnable crooks in Congress
are blowing money on when the treasury is empty. [Order and read Judge
Andrew Napolitano's newest book "A
Nation Of Sheep"]
The
worst is now staring all of us in the face and I respectfully recommend
every American do several things as soon as you can:
(1)
Diversify a good portion of your assets into gold. I'm not a gold dealer,
but my friends at El Dorado Gold know this issue inside and out and they
will tell you that right now that stock market is on the same path as
1929. October 18, 2007: Dow
drops over 366 on anniversary of Black Friday. This was a warning
people had better take seriously. Call Eric in the Florida office at 623.643.8785
or, if you prefer closer to the West Coast, call Harvey at 602.228.8203.
Congress is staring at double-digit TRILLIONS needed next year when that
first wave of baby boomers retire. There's no money in the treasury and
all the BS pouring out of Barack Hussein Obama or Hillary's mouth, or
pie in the sky promises from Rudy Julie Annie, Huckabee or Romney isn't
going to stop what is already underway.
(2)
Get your affairs in order which means paperwork like wills, trusts, etc.
DON'T put off this important task for a baseball game, round of golf or
tv program.
(3)
Disaster can happen at any time, so everyone should make sure they have
at least a few weeks of food supplies, along with vitamins and medical
necessities stored. If there's any disruption with our road warriors (truckers)
being able to get to your area, your family will starve and there won't
be any running down to China (Wal) Mart for a prescription refill that
could mean life or death.
(4)
Of paramount importance: Exercise your Second Amendment right to own and
bear arms for the protection of you and yours. The federal government
is knowingly protecting Muslim terrorist cells in this country. Patrick
Briley and others have been attempting to get members of the Oklahoma
State Legislature to demand answers from the feds as to why they aren't
rounding up these terrorists in that state and I'm telling you flat out:
we're all at risk. I've known Patrick for almost ten years and his research
is 100% solid; see
here.
Please
get on the phone to your House member this week and tell them:
Bush simply cannot invade or bomb Iran like some banana republic dictator.
A formal declaration of war is REQUIRED under the U.S. Constitution by
Congress and we the people do NOT want any military aggression against
a non threatening country like Iran. Stop this lunacy or find another
job next November. Demand they vote yes NOW on the bills below because
they are critical in beginning the rebuilding process:
H.R.
2755: Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act. To abolish the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks,
to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes.
H.
Con. Res. 40: The United States should not engage in the construction
of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or
enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.
H.R.
3835: The American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007 which will restore habeas
corpus by repealing the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
H.
Con. Res. 22: The President should provide notice of withdrawal of
the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
H.R.4855:
Get rid of the unnecessary withholding taxing scheme. This bill was introduced
by Congressman Ron Paul, July 27, 2000 and we the people demand a new
bill get introduced and passed as well as abolish the IRS.
