If President Obama signs the National Defense Authorization Act that is sitting on his desk, it will give him the power to arrest any American citizen and send them to Guantanamo Bay without any charges, without a trial and the imprisonment can be indefinite.

Contained in the over 1800 pages of the massive bill is a provision that gives the military the power to indefinitely detain any suspected terrorists without filing charges. Since the President is Commander in Chief of the armed forces, that provision also gives him the same powers.

The real danger lies in the government’s definition of what a suspected terrorist is.

According to Sen Rand Paul (R-KY),

“We’re talking about American citizens who can be taken from the United States and sent to a camp at Guantanamo Bay and held indefinitely. There are laws on the books right now that characterize who might be a terrorist: someone missing fingers on their hands is a suspect, according to the Department of Justice. Someone who has guns, someone who has ammunition that is weatherproofed, someone who has more than seven days of food in their house can be considered a potential terrorist. If you are suspected because of these activities, do you want the government to have the ability to send you to Guantanamo Bay for indefinite detention?”…..

Equity: The administration that refused to enforce voting rights law in the New Black Panther case is going after America’s best-known sheriff for what it calls discriminatory policing practices involving Hispanics.

Coming soon after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of Arizona’s immigration and border enforcement law, the Justice Department’s release of a scathing report Thursday accusing Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio of violating federal law and the Constitution in his department’s handling of Hispanics smacks of retaliation.

Gingrich Linked Propagandist Recycles Debunked Racist Ron Paul Smear 121211hubpmcapjourn 512×288

Prime amongst them is an attempt to re-hash the ludicrous assertion that Ron Paul wrote racist newsletters in the early 1990′s when the material was clearly produced by other authors without Ron Paul knowing its content.

This is by no means a new story, it’s a debunked smear from four years ago that has been regurgitated by the same author, in unison with other neo-con hit pieces, right as Paul’s campaign peaks and polls show him leading in Iowa.

On Monday’s Now with Alex Wagner, MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain was beside herself over Republican frontrunner Newt Gingrich‘s physical absence from Iowa, just weeks away from the caucuses, also expressing disgust over his comments on judicial activism. “I can’t handle it!” McCain exclaimed. “As a Republican, this is the end of the Republican Party if we nominate this man.”

McCain was responding to a report that Gingrich was staying home for the holidays, watching his wife play the French horn at a Christmas concert and noted that when her father was campaigning for President, he didn’t take a break.

“That’s the thing I can’t understand, someone on the road –you are on the road! I don’t think we spent Christmases at home. I think I spent Christmas in New Hampshire if I remember correctly,” McCain observed. “It is baffling! Everything he does, it’s like, ‘hit me again, crazy!’ I literally can’t get enough. This judge thing is my new favorite thing. It’s clearly insane. It’s out of a science fiction novel.”

When it comes to foreign affairs, Ron Paul is the most mocked of the GOP field. The argument could be made that Paul only wants to follow the Constitution. He does not believe we should fight a war unless it is declared a war by Congress. As a former military man, Paul says he wants a strong defense, but wants to bring troops back home from around the world. Paul’s philosophy on foreign affairs continues to be his biggest stumbling block with older voters and his GOP rivals. An article earlier this year in USA Today stated that Paul has the largest support in military men and women.

A Time For Choosing: Rick Perry for President

Mike Flynn

Yes, I’ve seen the debates. And, yes, I’ve watched the “oops” moment probably a dozen times. While he has steadily improved, Rick Perry is not a skilled debater. Seeing him debate is like watching a high-wire act, where each moment is tense with the fear that the performer could slip and fall. I get it. But, when did debate performance become our sole criteria for picking a President? When did the RNC decide to team up with the legacy media and turn the nomination contest into an almost unwatchable reality TV spectacle? Is this really a sane way to pick a nominee?

Did Pelosi Commit Blackmail?

American Thinker ^ | December 19, 2011 | Bruce Walker

Posted on Monday, December 19, 2011 11:49:54 AM by No One Special

House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi recently said that if Newt Gingrich is the Republican nominee, she will disclose what Americans do not now know about him out of confidential House Ethics Committee investigations. Newt noted that this was an ethical violation itself, which caused Pelosi to back off her earlier threat, but there is more at issue than just House Ethics Committee rules.

The House Democrat Leader may well have committed blackmail. Consider the common-law definition: “Blackmail is gaining or attempting to gain anything of value or compelling another to act against such person’s will, by threatening to communicate accusations or statements about any person that would subject such person or any other person to public ridicule, contempt or degradation.” Is not that precisely what Pelosi did?

We are accustomed to think of the related crimes of blackmail and extortion producing a monetary payoff, but that is not always the case. Not only is obtaining sex by means of threats to reveal hurtful or embarrassing information considered blackmail, but the consummation of that sexual payoff may also be rape. What must be demanded is “anything of value” or “compelling another to act against such person’s will.” Those phrases encompass much more than cash…..

“Not long ago, if you wanted to seize political power in a country,” wrote Italian philosopher and novelist Umberto Eco in his 1967 essay,Towards a Semiological Guerrilla Warfare, “you had merely to control the army and the police. Today it is only in the most backward countries that fascist generals, in carrying out a coup d’etat, still use tanks. If a country has reached a high level of industrialization the whole scene changes. The day after the fall of Khrushchev, the editors of Pravda, Izvestiia, the heads of the radio and television were replaced; the army wasn’t called out. Today a country belongs to the person who controls communications.”

Stopping Obama – before 2012?

A survey of the plans to ‘halt the bleeding’ before it’s too late

Posted: November 09, 2011

WASHINGTON – With the economic crisis worsening and Barack Obama resorting to rule by executive order and the presidential election still a year away, Americans from both sides of the political aisle are wondering if there are ways to “stop the bleeding” before January 20, 2013, and a change of administration.

Could Obama be removed for violations of the Constitution?

Could he be removed for still-unresolved issues of constitutional eligibility?

What about a Democratic Party challenge to his nomination?

And is there even a way to ensure he doesn’t win re-election through voter fraud or third-party gimmickry?

“Americans aren’t just whispering about these ideas in darkened rooms,” says Joseph Farah, columnist and editor of WND, America’s independent news network. “They are actually writing thoughtful books, making documentaries and laying out prescriptions for a change in leadership. Some of these works have received ‘mainstream’ attention and some haven’t. But all of them are worth the consideration of Americans faced with the gravest challenges to liberty and self-government in the last 230 years.”…..

Prison Planet.com » All “reasons” for war on Iran are “emperor has no clothes” obvious lies

December 19, 2011 1 comment

The US and Israel lie for war with Iran in two key areas of propaganda that you are responsible to understand if you want a US government operating UNDER the law:

Iran’s president never physically threatened Israel.

All of Iran’s nuclear material is fully accounted for peaceful and legal use for energy and medicine.

The US completely lied for its unlawful attack and invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. We now know from our own government’s disclosure of the evidence that all “reasons” for war were known lies.

Our soldiers, government employees, and citizens who operate under good faith have been duped with the above “Big Lies” that are easily proven but difficult to embrace from cognitive dissonance.

When the facts are so clear, the obvious conclusion any rational citizen must make is that the US has planned and is considering a false flag attack to use a dirty or nuclear bomb, blame Iran, and finalize their Middle East tyrannical policy of domination.

The solution is to arrest and prosecute the obvious criminals in areas of war policy and corporate media that lie in provable commission and omission to continue US CRIMINAL wars.

US war laws explained, why Afghanistan and Iraq wars are unlawful, how to end them

A new survey conducted by Public Policy Polling shows that Ron Paul now leads in Iowa just two weeks ahead of the crucial Republican primary, while Newt Gingrich’s campaign is in free fall.

New Poll: Ron Paul Leads In Iowa, Gingrich Imploding ron paul

“Newt Gingrich’s campaign is rapidly imploding, and Ron Paul has now taken the lead in Iowa. He’s at 23% to 20% for Mitt Romney, 14% for Gingrich, 10% each for Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry, 4% for Jon Huntsman, and 2% for Gary Johnson,” reports PPP.

Support for Gingrich has dropped from to 27% to 14% in just two weeks.

The figures illustrate how Gingrich is likely to fade into the distance before the crucial primary takes place on January 3rd. The numbers also show that Paul’s fiercest rival is clearly Romney, meaning all energies should be directed to pointing out that, like Gingrich, Romney is a big government RINO Republican who supported a system almost identical to Obamacare.

Paul’s supporters describe themselves as more “solidly committed” than Romney’s, at 73% to 68%.

Paul’s aggressive work in Iowa has impressed voters, with 22 per cent believing he’s run the best campaign in the state, compared to just 8% for Gingrich and 5% for Romney.

Right now the congressman from Texas is tied in first place in the polls, after a long, slow, but steady climb.

Meanwhile Newt Gingrich’s spotlight seems to be fading, while Romney’s front-runner position remains shaky. This puts Paul in the unique position of surging in the polls just in the nick of time. If he can break that voter ceiling he might be able to win in Iowa, possibly pushing him into front-runner status across the country, especially if Huntsman hurts Romney and Gingrich in New Hampshire.

A Paul win in Iowa and a Huntsman win in New Hampshire would throw this race into chaos – but a particularly good brand of chaos. Huntsman has been trailing badly for the duration of the race so far, and Paul has been laughed off by much of the press and the conservative intelligentsia.

AG Eric Holder was responsible for 168 deaths in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing…and more

Posted on Monday, December 19, 2011 8:26:29 AM by jmaroneps37

Documents obtained by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show then Clinton Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder authorized members of the FBI to provide explosives to Oklahoma City bombing criminals Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols immediately prior to the April, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building.

Holder had authorized the FBI to provide the explosives to McVeigh and Nichols in conjunction with a Clinton Administration undercover operation named PATCON, an acronym for “Patriot Conspiracy.” As Jesse Trentadue describes it, “PATCON was designed to infiltrate and incite… militia[s] and evangelical Christians to violence so that the Department of Justice could crush them.”

Both Waco and Ruby Ridge are now known to have been PATCON inspired, Department of Justice plots. Shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing, Holder instructed FBI agents to recover from Terry Nichols any remainder of the explosives the Bureau had provided him and McVeigh.

IN PRESERVING FREEDOM

by One Pissed-off Vietnam Vet, Presidential Candidate

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (also Dostoevsky) was a writer who described the psychological, political and social challenges of 19th-century imperial Russia. He was exiled to Siberia for five years of hard labor for his “liberal” beliefs, which Emperor Nicholas I interpreted as a threat.

(Dec. 18, 2011) — In everyone’s life, there is one person who stands out above the memories of all others, with the exception of our parents. This person could be a relative, a friend, even a movie star.

I used to smoke, and one time I was at a gas station and went in to buy a pack and the guy in line behind me was the World War II Marine veteran movie actor, Lee Marvin.

When I asked the clerk for a pack, I could see the expression on Lee’s face, and you didn’t need to be a great actor to convey exactly what he was thinking. Proper decorum prevents me from using quotes that would contain numerous four-letter words in the context…..

For months, they have criticized him over a gun-trafficking investigation gone awry, with dozens of leaders calling for his resignation. Last week, more than 75 members of Congress co-sponsored a House resolution expressing “no confidence” in his leadership. [...]

The Republican presidential primary has become a bit feisty, but it will get downright ugly if Ron Paul wins the Iowa caucuses.

The principled, antiwar, Constitution-obeying, Fed-hating, libertarian Republican congressman from Texas stands firmly outside the bounds of permissible dissent as drawn by either the Republican establishment or the mainstream media. (Disclosure: Paul wrote the foreword to my 2009 book.)

An old adage reads, “If it quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck.” The push by the Obama Administration to progressively strip Americans of basic liberties in the pursuit of political objectives has now taken on more draconian overtones, and no one seems to have noticed.

While the media quibbles over Romney versus Gingrich, the Occupy movement, and other diversions, President Obama continues to undermine law and order, dismantling the US Constitution piece by piece. When public officials seek to limit freedom, it can be concluded that these officials want to rule instead of govern. Cloaking seizures of power in clever misnomers does not validate the abuse of public office. What else can we conclude when Obama claims the illegal power to assassinate citizens at his whim? If citizen assassination were the only example of executive malfeasance emanating from Washington, Americans could breathe easier, except that citizen assassination, e.g. Awlaki, has opened the floodgates for a barrage of new power seizures. The ground softened, the first brick laid, Obama can now proceed unchallenged.

As I warned repeatedly in multiple articles over the last two years, the machinery put in place to thwart Islamic terrorism could be turned against citizens for political purposes, due to the broad constructions used in terror definitions. Only no one could have imagined the speed at which these things would come to pass:
