New Proposed Measure Assigns Power of Martial Law to the Executive

Independent Sentinel

Mitch McConnell sneaked in a res­ol­u­tion – known as an au­thor­iz­a­tion for the use of mil­it­ary force – on Wednesday night when all anyone could talk about was the blizzard traveling up the East coast.

The media was taken by surprise on Thursday morning.

The purpose is to authorize the president to fight ISIS though in some ways it will limit the next president but what is noteworthy about it is the fact that it does not limit his reach in terms of geography. The fear is that it allows martial law.

From Defense One:

The AUMF put for­ward by Mc­Con­nell would not re­strict the pres­id­ent’s use of ground troops, nor have any lim­its re­lated to time or geo­graphy. Nor would it touch on the is­sue of what to do with the 2001 AUMF, which the Obama ad­min­is­tra­tion has used to at­tack IS­IS des­pite that au­thor­iz­a­tion’s in­struc­tions to use force against those who planned the 9/11 ter­ror­ist at­tacks.

ISIS is in the United States but we are not at a point where we need this extreme measure. Why give this power to this maniac in the White House?

The AUMF, known as “Rule XIV,” has not been placed on the calendar which means it could come up at any time and will. It’s being fast-tracked.

The res­ol­u­tion already has four Re­pub­lic­an co­spon­sors: Sens. Lind­sey Gra­ham, Daniel Coats, Joni Ernst, and Or­rin Hatch.

Some Demo­crats were crit­ic­al of even the pres­id­ent’s own draft AUMF, warn­ing that they’d need ad­di­tion­al re­stric­tions from the ad­min­is­tra­tion on troop levels and geo­graph­ic bound­ar­ies be­fore they could sup­port any au­thor­iz­a­tion, Defense One noted.

There is deep division over this bill and there will be debate. Hopefully they will specify to not include the US.

Obama has enough power to go after ISIS but refuses to do it. His rules of engagement have been absurd.

The devil will be in the details.

Martial law has no precise meaning but it has common features – it contemplates military force;  government military personnel have the authority to make and enforce civil and criminal laws; and civil liberties are suspended. Martial law was declared by Lincoln during the Civil War – Proclamation 113 – and our National Defense Authorization Act included a provision, now removed, which stripped U.S. citizens of their constitutional rights.

Mark Levin Makes the Case: We Are Under ‘Martial Law’ Already

 

Independent Sentinel

The United States under this administration is currently not engaged in the pursuit of liberty or equality of opportunity, rather, ours is a country pursuing social engineering and redistribution to equalize the end results of every single thing that takes place.

Barack Obama and his team are social engineering the nation into a utopian vision that has little relation to what our Founding Fathers foresaw when they developed our Constitution.

Barack Obama is diversifying so-called wealthy neighborhoods seemingly without any authority to do so. He’s directly addressing the suburbs which he sees as white and privileged.

He believes there is one pot of resources and the suburbs are stealing them from the urban areas. He seeks to remedy that and equalize all resources.

What Would Happen If Martial Law Was Declared in America?

The Daily Sheeple

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of concern that an upcoming eight week military exercise on U.S. soil known as “Jade Helm” is actually a dress rehearsal for the imposition of martial law in this country. One of the reasons for the high level of concern is that we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of “urban warfare exercises” conducted by the U.S. military in major U.S. cities over the past decade – including exercises where “dissidents” are hunted down, arrested and hauled away.  As our world becomes increasingly unstable, and as our society rapidly decays from within, many believe that it is only a matter of time before the executive branch will have sufficient excuse to use the extensive martial law powers that it has been accumulating since 9/11. When that day arrives, what will our nation look like? What would actually happen if martial law was declared in America?

Executive Orders & Internment Camps: The Groundwork Has Been Laid for Martial Law in the Event of a National Emergency

Freedom Outpost

The ground work has already been laid, that in the event of a national emergency, with a mere stroke of Obama’s pen this is how martial law could play out.  This is, in part, what Justice Antonin Scalia referenced last month.

Here are the Executive orders already in place in the event of a national crisis:

A Storm is Brewing on the Horizon – Will Obama Declare Martial Law Before 2016?

Freedom Outpost

If you’re like me you are paying attention to what is transpiring within our government. Many senior General officers are being fired (or “retired early”). Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration and several other federal agencies are soliciting for hollow point ammunition on the pretext it will be used for “target practice.” Why does the Social Security Administration need hollow point ammo for target practice, you may ask? They don’t, but since the information about DHS soliciting for millions of rounds has some people alarmed, the government has decided to spread-out the purchases amongst other agencies as not to alarm the civilian population. This also coincides with foreign troops (Russian) practicing crowd control maneuvers on American soil. There has been an American “practice town” built for just this purpose. I could site more instances regarding FEMA camps and even the American 3rd Infantry Division’s new mission, but you get the idea, right?

Barack Hussein Obama is making power grabs more and more; and is openly circumventing the Congress to consolidate more power to the office of the president. This should have some people very alarmed.

Obama Must Be Forced to Resign

CFP

A December 17 Reuters article was titled, “Obama’s Current Approval Rating Is The Ugliest Since Nixon.”

“President Barack Obama is ending his fifth year in office with the lowest approval ratings at this point in the presidency since President Richard Nixon, according to a new Washington Post/ABC poll released Tuesday.”

Nixon was forced to resign on April 22, 1974, after two long years that followed the revelations about Watergate, a break-in of the Democratic Party offices in Washington, DC. The backlash against the horrors of ObamaCare, concerns about the “deal” with Iran, and a succession of scandals from Fast and Furious to Benghazi, have raised fear and anger over his judgment, competence, and behavior in office.

Former-Navy SEAL Ben Smith: “Government is Creating Conditions to Impose Martial Law”

Freedom Outpost

Former-Navy SEAL Ben Smith spoke recently at the World War II Memorial alongside other American veterans,  following that event, he dropped a bombshell on Fox News (the majority of us  have already been thinking what Smith said) and claimed that the US government  is creating conditions that are necessary to impose martial law in the United  States.

Smith told Fox host Bill Hemmer what many of us have been suspicious of all  along under Barack Obama; that the federal government is looking for means of  creating an atmosphere for implementing martial law.

Former-Navy SEAL Ben Smith

The former Navy  SEAL told Fox that he believed that the federal government was attempting to  provoke the veterans to “do something.”  

 

When asked what he meant by that, Smith said, “That’s not just my statement,”  he said.  “Within the (perspective) of people who see things wrong here, who  are  looking at the shutdown, this can be absolutely planned, and it’s a  conversation  topic.”

“They want us to do something,” he continued.  “They either want to diminish  our voice or our significance, or draw contact, and they can crush us.”

Smith went on to name names.

America under tyrannical rule: what we must now do

CFP

With every new Executive Order, the options that we, the people, have to seek redress for the crimes committed by the United States government are becoming more limited. Have you sent a fax or e-mail to your elected representative lately about an issue of constitutional importance? How did that work out? Have you organized or attended a “rally” lately? Tell me, what has changed by your sincere efforts? Oh, and was the rally limited to a “First Amendment zone,” (or “Free Speech zone”) or a specified location where you were “allowed” to exercise your First Amendment rights granted by the U.S. Constitution? Did you even know such zones existed and if so, are they alright with you?

America has been conquered in a faceless coup, where the meteoric rise of a virtually unknown man of Arab, not African descent (if we are to believe his own tale of his origins) was selected to complete the job of destroying our national sovereignty and eradicating what remains of our civil rights. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress has been made irrelevant by this unclothed emperor wearing only the headdress of a pharaoh, while the judiciary has been infiltrated and corrupted to the point of being useless as a method of resolution of our grievances.

America under martial law

The United States is effectively operating under martial law. No, not “the troops are in the streets all of the time” type of martial law, but a more subtle form. A type of martial law that exists under the veil of a false sense of normalcy, which can still be plausibly denied to the most gullible among us by both our leaders and the media. Like the proverbial frogs in the pot of water being brought to a boil, most people are being conditioned to accept actions forced upon us that our founders would have not only found objectionable, but absolutely intolerable. In fact, the Revolutionary War was started and fought for much less.

We currently exist under a modern system of tyranny, where the criminality of our leaders is overt and oppressive, yet excused and embraced by those on both sides of the false political paradigm and propagated by the corporate media and the bobble heads of the airwaves. We’ve asked for answers about issues ranging from Benghazi to the Obama eligibility issue and dozens more, yet have received nothing but contempt for merely asking such questions. We are treated as unworthy subjects to royalty. If you don’t believe that, or need examples of this tyranny, then please get out of the way and let us adults do the heavy lifting to do what we must to get our country back on point.

So, exactly what must we do to achieve effective, legal and nonviolent redress, to stop the naked criminality within our government, and to bring a dose of justice to those deserving of it? We could ask for a special prosecutor like the Nixon and Clinton eras, but who would appoint one and wouldn’t such a prosecutor themselves be politically compromised? Also, we’re running out of time. We could ask for congressional hearing, but we’ve seen how well this is working out for the TEA parties. While the TEA party members and other groups are turning blue waiting for congressional hearings to be conducted in an already corrupted venue, others are calling for a second American Revolution. Neither is the answer, at least not now.

Having spent literally hours with an insider who knows how the system in DC works, or more appropriately, how the game is played, I believe there is only one current answer that could be both expedient and effective. It is our last option to stop the corrupt actions of corrupt individuals who are out of control.

What we MUST do

There is only one viable method remaining to bypass the people and groups inside of our government who refuse to  enforce the United States Constitution. We must first recognize and acknowledge that certain people, departments and groups within the United States government are involved in, or leading others to be involved in criminal activity and behavior as part of a corrupt organization. Once we have compiled a complete and detailed list of such criminal conduct, we must then file a civil complaint against the government under the federal statutes of the RICO Act, or the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970.

We allege that the United States government at the Executive Branch is operating as a criminal enterprise. The Executive branch has shown not only contempt of congress, but contempt for every American citizen and is operating, by executive order, as the Chicago Mob. Previously, it was the Texas and Little Rock mobs, but organized criminal enterprises nonetheless.

To bypass the corrupt Department of Justice, our efforts must be made from the civil side. The RICO Act allows for us to sue one or more “racketeers” for damage to our person (civil rights, etc.) and property. Civil actions under the RICO Act can be filed in state or federal courts. The structure available for proactive measures already exists under our current RICO law, so we must take advantage of this while we still can.

A trial by the jury of our peers is our last hope for holding these criminals accountable for their actions. The civil aspects of the RICO Act gives us a very big stick to let a jury of Americans decide whether we will continue to be subjects of royalty, or citizens of a Constitutional Republic.

At present, we have no other legal recourse to ask questions with the expectation of receiving answers. There are no more checks and balances within our government. Our efforts thus far have been nothing more than the bleating of sheep to the unclothed emperor and the congressional eunuchs who won’t raise substantive issues for fear of losing their committee memberships or positions of authority. That can be changed, and must be changed, before the next stroke of the executive pen turns martial law light into actual martial law in every corner of the United States.

The evidence that we the people, are at risk of being placed under martial law, and losing all of our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution is overwhelming.

On October 17, 2006, President Bush signed into law, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act. The law allows the President to declare a “public emergency” at his own discretion, and place federal troops anywhere throughout the United States. Under this law, the President also now has the authority to federalize National Guard troops without the consent of Governors, in order to restore “public order.” The President can now deploy federal troops to U.S. cities, at will, which eliminates the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act.

In short, President Obama can now declare Martial Law anytime he sees fit to do so.

An Excerpt from the John Warner Defense Authorization Act follows:

About that Boston thing: America, I have some questions.

On Eagle’s Wings

by: Mike Ferguson

This may tick off some folks. If that’s you, I don’t apologize but feel free to write your disagreement in the comments. As long as they aren’t vulgar or threatening, I’ll leave them in place because I’m a grown up and can handle criticism.

I’ve been in the media for many years now. Most of that time has been spent on the news side of the business. I’ve been a reporter, an anchor, a host and an interviewer. I’ve been in politics from time to time but got out of activism a few years ago. Since then, I’ve avoided making political comments on Facebook or Twitter and hope this isn’t considered a political statement. It’s designed to be something about culture.

In the news business, we often brag about our role that demands we ask the tough questions of those in charge. There’s quite a bit of self-importance felt in newsrooms, to be honest. That’s because we feel we’re called to hold important people accountable for their decisions and we’re supposed to be generally skeptical of things.

So, I want to question some very important people…you. The American people.
