Bill S.1867: Legalization Of Martial Law, End Of The Republic

The Military Appropriation Bill for 2012 Bill S.1867 will pass as early as tomorrow, Dec. 15 2011, and be signed into law by the President. This innocuous sounding Bill represents the end of any last pretence that the Republic of the United States still exists. Remember that date, because it is the death day of our beloved 235 year old Republic.

 

The very act itself of slipping a clause such as Section 1031, which authorizes the armed forces to arrest and indefinitely detain anyone anywhere in the world with no need for a trial or any judicial process, into an otherwise necessary military appropriations bill has to be the most crass bit of legerdemain ever performed by this or any government.

 

The Senate passed the Bill by a margin of 93 to 7 and the House just voted 88 to 12 to suspend any further debate on it and put it to a final vote. If it is passed by a 2/3 or more majority the President couldn’t veto it even if he wanted to – though it’s doubtful he would anyway considering that the martial law provisions in the Bill were drafted with the full knowledge, approval and even participation of his Administration according to Senator Carl Levin. He will sign it into law on the 15th or 16th of December.

 

The mainstream press when they mention the Bill at all pretend that Section 1031 which allows the armed forces to arrest anyone for mere suspicion or convenience and detain them for any length of time (to “disappear” them forever) without any need of a trial (the abandonment of habeus corpus) does not actually apply to American citizens. It does. According to Senator Carl Levin, one of the primary sponsors of the Bill,

 

“The language which precluded the application of Section 1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally approved … and the [Obama] administration asked us to remove the language which says that U.S. citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section.”

 

The clause which is always pointed out as excluding American citizens from this non-Constitutional violation of their life and liberty is in Section 1032 and says right there that it applies only to “this section” – i.e. to Section 1032 only.

 

It means the end of the Constitution which means the end of the Republic. As soon as the Bill is signed into law all three branches of government will in effect be illegitimate. Illegitimate governments have proven throughout history to maintain their rule by only one means: through violence, terror, murder, torture, arbitrary detention and fear. This Bill gives them the self-authorization to do all of these things to Americans and anyone else on the earth.

 

Is it only a coincidence that just as this Bill is about to pass, this Bill which according to Ron Paul yesterday on Alex Jones’ Infowars “legalizes martial law”, a Halliburton subsidiary KBR is taking tenders for companies to operate services at the FEMA camps which have been established all over the country? Oh, that’s right, these FEMA camps don’t actually exist. They’re putting out tenders for services and are hiring 100,000 “internment specialists” to staff camps that apparently don’t exist.

 

Are they expecting some disaster which will make the use of the camps necessary for everyone’s good? Are they simply planning for resistance to their newly illegitimate, non-Constitutional government once this Bill is passed? Are they expecting a collapse of the monetary and financial system and the subsequent chaos which will ensue when the trucks cease to deliver food to millions of people trapped in the death traps which the cities will become? No one knows, but everyone is on edge – and should be.

 

Here is Section 1031 of Bill S.1867 in full.

 

SEC. 1031. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.

  1. OK, SO ARE WE NOW GOING TO HAVE TO TELL OUR AMERICAN MILITARY THEY NOW HAVE TO DETAIN-ARREST- OR KILL AMERICANS FOR SOMETHING AS TRIVIAL AS SUSPICION?

  2. I’m not going to tell the Military anything, the less they see me, the better off I will be.

  3. This law needs to be stopped immeadiately. It is a violation of our constitutional rights. It is just another way for our government that is supposedly elected by the people for the people to take our rights away and make us subjects.

  4. Moderation, hell I am not going to moderate my statement, I meant every thing I said!
