…our civil liberties. The corporate state has used 9/11 in the same way the Nazi Party used the Reichstag Fire as a justification to strip away all of our most important Constitutional rights. Whether that is the right or the need of a court to issue a warrant before surveillance. Whether that is the right of a whistleblower to expose government crimes, including torture. We just saw the CIA official, Kiriakou, go to prison for 30 months. What he, purportedly, leaked to The New York Times, were war crimes.

And the interpretation of the Authorization to Use Military Force Act (AUMF) is giving the government the right, this is what this ‘White Paper’, that was leaked to NBC News was about giving the right to the Executive Branch to draw up kill lists, even if US citizens are on those kill lists.

So, this is a steady march forward, in terms of stripping away our most basic civil liberties. I would say the NDAA, this case, is the last in line of defence between what’s left of our anemic democracy and our transformation into a military state.

…to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens is back in federal court this week. On Wednesday, a group of academics, journalists, and activists will present oral arguments in court against a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, authorizing the military to jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial.

I felt pride as an American. I thought, this is the American citizen that I fought for as a marine. This is a constitutional order, a rule of law, a judge, appointed by Obama, who’s willing to say that her boss was mistaken in claiming that this rule is compatible with our rule of law.
Well, as a law, it’s unprecedented, but as a practice what we’ve seen for the last 10 years is a systematic assault on the Constitution of the United States in every aspect in the aspects of the illegal surveillance, the warrantless surveillance, which was conducted against me 40 years ago by President Nixon and then led to his impeachment proceedings, but is now regarded as legal. That’s the way the law has changed. Efforts to assault me or kill me on the steps of the Capitol on May 3rd, 1972, a presidential hit squad of the kind that the president now takes pride in proclaiming that he runs all over the world.

On December 31st 2011, US President Barack Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA). The Act was passed in the House of Representatives on May 26, 2011 by a vote of 322 to 96. The Act was passed in the Senate on December 15, 2011 by a vote of 86 to 13. Coming up is an excerpt from the Act, the wording of which makes it legal to incarcerate United States citizens without recourse to any form of judicial process. Essentially these words say that if the government deems any person to have committed a “belligerent act” that person can be detained indefinitely without trial. For the purposes of defining what a “belligerent act” is. with respect to a US citizen, how does the government differentiate between an act of war against the United States vs a lawful protest against the government? Prior to this act, such a distinction would have to be decided in a court of law by a jury of a citizen’s peers. With the signing of the NDAA, the government is claiming the right to decide this unilaterally, without any judicial proceedings and no legal representation afforded to the accused.

Can the US Government now proclaim that the constitutionally protected act of protest against the government is a “belligerent act” and legally lock up those who participate in such a protest?

The provisions of the NDAA are blatantly unconstitutional. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution prohibits warrantless seizures of the person or property of US citizens. The Fifth Amendment Prohibits the depriving of US citizens of “life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” The Sixth Amendment includes the right to a “speedy and public trial by an impartial jury.”

These are the most basic, most essential protections of human liberty upon which the United States was founded. It would be no exaggeration to claim that the primary purpose of those who founded the United States was the creation of a nation where exactly these protections were guaranteed to all citizens. And with the signing of the NDAA, the present government of the United States has claimed the legal right to kill these constitutional protections.

“President Obama’s action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law,” said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU executive director. “The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield.

“There are laws on the books 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 Guantánamo Bay for indefinite detention?” – Rand Paul

Senator Lindsey Graham, who supports this bill, says quote “the Homeland is part of the battlefield and people can be held without trial whether an American citizen or not.”

I must tell you I was utterly appalled when I saw this legislation proposed. We didn’t learn about it until last night, because the committee hearings on it were done in secret, even though the Constitution requires that Congress do these things in public. And there were no actual hearings. Just a bunch of members of the Senate who got together and wrote this thing. And it basically says the President can arrest whoever he wants anywhere in the United States of America and keep them without charging them with a crime, without letting them see a lawyer, without bringing them to a judge for as long as he wants. How is that consistent with the Constitution?

Whenever you suspend due process, which in effect suspends the rule of law, you walk down a very dangerous path and you give authority to your government that it can then wield essentially without restraint. What worries me is it will end up creating categories of people who are then subject to arbitrary arrests. And that’s dangerous because we don’t know how those categories will be defined or interpreted in the future. All in all it’s a disaster and it’s something that should should be defeated.

Suppose the President decided one of his political opponents was an enemy of the state. He could make that person disappear. Sounds fanciful? Sounds crazy? But it’s true.

Under a program sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, police officers were trained to go door to door removing people from their homes with deadly force if necessary, escorting the people to school buses, and being delivered to a decontamination area, usually at a school or local church where the subjects will be hosed down, scrubbed down, given a series of vaccinations and held prisoner until they can be transferred to a more secure facility. The Department of Homeland Security has these programs embedded in the policing communities across the United States just waiting for orders to be given.

You don’t really need to round people up in FEMA camps if you can simply lock them down. I’ll give you one example. The city of Cambridge, I recently interviewed on my radio program a city council member from Cambridge who had given back money that was used to install video cameras. Federal money for video cameras at all the points of egress from Cambridge. And she said why do we need this, and the answer was, well in the event that we have to shut Cambridge down and keep people in, we need to know what the routes are out of the city so we can set up checkpoints and keep people from leaving.

The flu virus, or any type of biological threat, is the perfect cover for martial law and control. Because it’s something that makes everyone a potential threat. It makes everyone a potential carrier, everyone a potential “terrorist” carrying the terrorist virus. This helps us submit to tyranny, it helps us suspect our neighbors. It helps us see our government as our savior and the arbiter. And it divides the people against each other. Those “crazy people” as the CFR has said, that don’t want to take the shots verses the reasonable people that trust their government and understand that we’re supposed to roll up our sleeves when we’re given that order.

The crisis of September 11 saw a major shift in security and other legislation and has nearly singlehandedly brought about the end of privacy in the United States. USA Patriot Act 1 and 2 intruded on no less than 5 of the first 10 Bill of Rights. The John Warner Defense Act saw the end of Posse Comitatus. The Military Commissions Act saw the end of Habeas Corpus. And the REAL ID Act, attached to an emergency appropriations bill, passed with virtually no debate. Also passed during this time and attributed to the need for tighter security was the FISA Amendment Act which gave retroactive immunity to the major telecoms for their role in turning over massive amounts of cell and email communications to United States security agencies at their request. No warrant needed.

It’s not a stretch of the imagination. In fact it’s already beginning to happen where people are being given RFID chips, so that we can, you know, scan you. Now, they always try to present a good reason for doing that. Well, we’ll have your entire medical history. If you fall down unconscious, the doctors will know who you are, what drugs you’re allergic to, they’ll be able to treat you more efficiently because they have all this information. Well, the opposite is also true. If the government has all this information on you, they can also manipulate you by the use of that information. you won’t be allowed to get a job, you won’t be able to buy food, you won’t be allowed to perform any economic transactions unless you have the government RFID chip and are approved. This is one of the things that people have been worried about for a long time. The technology now exists.

Governments are notorious for creating panic to get public support for legislation and emergency measures that the population would not otherwise consider. The United States government is no different. Whether it concerns war with other nations, battling a disaster in our own country, or control over the population during natural or health emergencies, governments instill fear to coerce the population to give up their rights in order to cooperate. The mainstream media is complicit in exciting panic among the people as well. The media’s role during the H1N1 flu scare was clear. The plans are already in place to force the non-compliant public to cooperate. You can be removed from your home by force is necessary, mandatorily quarantined and vaccinated against your will. Your children can be removed from schools and taken to “safe” yet undisclosed locations until it is deemed safe for their return. This is all under the guise of protecting our nation. What has happened to our free country? Little by little we are losing our constitutional rights, yet most Americans are paying little or no attention. People do not understand that these egregious powers are not being proposed, they are already in place, ready for federal, state, or local officials to act upon during a state of emergency. You will not get a say. You will lose your freedom to speak out. You will lose your right to privacy as troops force their way into your home to search without a warrant. You will lose your right to be secure in your home, even if you have plenty of supplies and are prepared to stay. You will lose your right to be armed as troops go door to door, person to person, confiscating your legally owned firearms. You will see military in the streets of this country carrying out the will of an unrestrained government as they round up free U.S. citizens. Some state governments passed measures to forcibly quarantine residents, incarcerate those who refuse to be vaccinated, and to forcibly vaccinate your children. Legislation like this passed during the much hyped H1N1 flu outbreak.
Training has already occurred to carry out many of these measures, reminiscent of the forcing from their homes and the internment of U.S. citizens during WWII. All of this has already happened on U.S. soil. How will you be able to defend your family? How will you react when they cart your children off to an undisclosed location because the government thinks it can protect your children better than you? Will your families survival be up to you, or will it be up to an out of control government and its alphabet agencies, most of which have failed the American people over and over again? Are you going to blindly follow a government that has shown time and time again it has no respect for your constitutional rights? These rights are inalienable and cannot be taken, we cannot give them up, yet Congress and various administrations encroach on our rights all the time. Will you give up your family willingly? Will voluntarily become a captive of one of these quarantines or detention camps? What will you do? Will you go quietly?

“If two parties, instead of being a bank and an individual, were an individual and an individual, they could not inflate the circulating medium by a loan transaction, for the simple reason that the lender could not lend what he didn’t have, as banks can do….. Only commercial banks and trust companies can lend money that they manufacture by lending it.” – Professor Irving Fisher, economist in his book 100% Money (1935)

“The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it.” – John Kenneth Galbraith economist, author

“The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks.” – Lord Acton (1834-1902) English historian

Maybe your first experience of putting money in the bank wasn’t quite as heartwarming as this. But odds are, years later, you still refer to the balance showing on your bank account as being your money in the bank. But it isn’t.

If we have a deposit box at the bank, the valuables we put in it are still ours. We’re just renting secure space to store them. In common usage, the word “deposit” means to set something down. But the use of the word deposit to refer to a bank account is misleading. A bank deposit is in reality… a loan. What the amount in our bank account really indicates is how much money the bank owes us. It is a record of the bank’s promise to pay us money, not the money we deposited itself. The difference is important. The truth is, when we hand the contents of our piggy bank to the bank teller, our money becomes the bank’s money to do with as it pleases. All of the money in the bank is the bank’s money. None of it is ours. That’s why the bank pays us interest. We have loaned the bank our money.

This may seem to be a semantic distinction. We know we can go to the bank at any time and take our money out in cash if we want to. But the distinction is not semantic. Nor is it trivial. The distinction is crucial. What happens in banking affects everyone and yet few of us know anything at all about how banking really works. The entire world economy now runs on a system of credit provided by banks. And when that credit system breaks down, everyone suffers.

To make things worse, the explanations for these breakdowns offered by the experts never look at the root cause… namely that, other than cash and coins, which make up just 1-5% of money in circulation, all the money in existence today was created as the principal of a bank loan, with the banks requiring principal plus interest as so-called “repayment”. Not only does this make the existence of money entirely dependent on the existence of bank credit, it makes the system as a whole bankrupt by design, as total debits, principal plus interest exceed total assets, from the moment the first loan document is signed.

As the global banking system staggers towards worldwide collapse, more and more people are realizing they can no longer ignore the realities behind banking as it is practiced today. Many have lost their homes and jobs due entirely to the unsustainable practices of moneylenders. It is time people understood money and the pressing need to fundamentally change the way it works. Clarifying what the words used in banking really mean is the first step. Now that we know that a deposit is, in truth, a loan to a bank, the next question is … what is a loan that we take out from a bank?

When we sign for a loan, we give the bank a pledge to pay the amount of the loan plus interest. In return, the bank credits our account in the same amount as this so-called loan. While we speak of the bank as having put the loan money into our account, in reality, the only thing the bank puts into our account is its promise to pay the money.

What has actually happened is an exchange of promises. Neither party has delivered anything to the other, except matching pledges of debt. So, who is the borrower and who is the lender? The terms loan, lender and borrower are all misleading. The truth is that the two parties have traded promises to pay, and in the process created something called “bank credit” or “checkbook money” that can be legally spent as money.

Bank credit can be spent because we, in our innocence, notice that, each time we deposit into our account, it increases our balance by the same amount. In fact, unless we put something in, our account will be empty. Thus it’s a natural assumption that money in an account is money someone put in. Uh-uh. The account is a promise to pay, not the money itself. In fact, a promise always indicates the absence of the item promised. Otherwise why does it need to be promised? Now, because all bank accounts are just promises to pay, the bank and the borrower can simply exchange promises and, in the flash of a few keystrokes, a positive balance appears in the borrower’s bank account without anyone putting existing money in.

Now you know the real source of what we call a “bank loan”.

“Commercial banks create checkbook money whenever they grant a loan, simply by adding new
deposit dollars in accounts on their books in exchange for a borrower’s IOU.” – Federal Reserve Bank of New York, I Bet You Thought, p.19

How different would it be if two parties just got together in a basement with a printing press and created new money that way? We intuitively understand the act of fraud called counterfeiting. In printing fake $100 dollar bills, the counterfeiters also create new money out of thin air.

Money gives us the ability to purchase the real goods & services of the world. It’s clear that the counterfeiters have created new ability to purchase real goods & services without giving anything in exchange… except a fancy piece of paper. Counterfeiters get something for nothing, directly at the expense of whoever gets caught with their counterfeit money. And if the counterfeit money is not discovered, it dilutes the money supply, stealing from everyone. Counterfeiting is a serious crime and it is easy to understand why. It’s cheating on a basic social agreement… Thou shalt not steal.

But, taking a loan from a bank also creates new purchasing power. However, instead of being considered a form of theft, it is the very basis of our monetary system. How did one form of creating money out of thin air become a crime, and the other become standard business practice and the source of almost all our money? For this is what has happened.

To understand how, we need to look at the history of the laws governing commerce, but before that, we need to understand the logic of the loan process itself.

The borrower wants to purchase an item but doesn’t have the funds to do so at the present time. However the borrower does have confidence in having sufficient funds over time to pay both the original price of the item and the interest on a loan. So he goes to a bank to arrange a loan. The borrower is capable of making a credible promise of money in the future, but otherwise, at this moment, he comes with empty pockets. That’s why he needs the loan.

We’re probably all familiar with what happens next. The bank gets the borrower to sign an agreement in which the borrower promising to pay the bank the amount of the loan plus interest or, in default, surrender to the bank the object that is to be purchased with the loan. This is done countless times every day all over the world, but there’s a problem. How can the borrower pledge as collateral something that the borrower does not yet own? If I wanted to borrow $10,000 from you to go on a luxury cruise to Europe, would you accept my
neighbour’s car as collateral?

Of course not, because you know very well that I have no legal right to give you my neighbour’s car no matter how much I owe you. But, if instead, I promise to buy my neighbour’s car with the $10,000 you lend me, the situation is different. You might agree to lend me the $10,000 believing I will buy the car and will pledge it as collateral for the loan once I obtain legal title to it. However, until the transaction is completed, your $10,000 loan cannot be secured by title to the car. This sequence of events problem could be very simply avoided. You could buy the car and then sell it to me.

The bank could do it this way too. If the borrower commits to the bank to buy the item, why doesn’t the bank just buy it with its own money and then sell it to the borrower on time payments at interest? Well… the answer to that question is also very simple. It’s because the bank, like the borrower, has come to the transaction with empty pockets. The bank fulfills its part of the so-called loan transaction by creating an “account” for the borrower. The truth is… the so-called borrower has funded his own account by fraudulently pledging a car he does not yet own, as collateral. And the bank, the so-called lender, hasn’t put up any existing money at all…and, if all goes well, it never will.

…and to the republic for which it stands… It doesn’t say ‘and to the democracy for which it stands… America was founded as a constitutional republic, with SOME democratic principles. A republic is where 99% of the people can’t take away the rights of 1%, and that’s why America was called a free country. Your rights were guaranteed and absolute. Do you hear our elected representatives telling you our country is republic? In a democracy, 51%, the majority, can take away the rights of 49%, the minority. That’s not freedom!

…the major media never reported this. Why? …free press, PLEASE… It’s a controlled press! And what they don’t tell you is costing you your freedom!

Do you know, there are more people in jail today in America than any other country in the world. And 70% of them are there for victimless crimes. how can you possibly have a crime, if there isn’t a victim?

But Dr Kessler, of the FDA, wants to sympathize not only with the medical profession, but the drug companies as well, by outlawing vitamins! He wants you to get a prescription just to buy vitamins! HAIL KESSLER! Oh sh!t did I say that? It must have been a vitamin C deficiency… but nothing to worry about, I HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY!

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The so called free trade agreement? It’s 22,000 pages, it weight 365 pounds! That’s a free trade agreement?

Tonight’s show is going to focus on asset forfeiture. Using that catch phrase, government agencies can lawfully storm your residents and seize all your assets. That includes your home and your bank accounts. Lat year there were over 250,000 asset forfeiture. That’s 5000 every weak. And 80% of those victims were never charged with a crime.

That’s really their ultimate agenda, to bring the United States down from the pinnacle of freedom, to simply being another one of these socialist states where the government controls everything.

People don’t get elected to the UN, and that’s the really scary thing. How the hell do you get rid of a UN bureaucrat?

These are the biggest human rights violators in the world and their trying to tell people in the United States that we shouldn’t have certain civil liberties.

But the UN is not pushing its agenda alone. There’s a propaganda machine working everyday, targeting the NRA and gun ownership as evil. It’s called IANSA, the international Action Network on Small Arms. Just log on to IANSA’s website, and you’ll see it’s made up of more than 500 anti-gun NGOs, or nongovernmental organizations. They are absolutely awesome in terms of the power they have. Power and a plot that is being engineered right here in London in that building behind me, where IANSA’s headquartered. Imagine, nearly 230 years after the American Revolution, there are still forces at work here on British soil determined to trample on your freedoms.

The right-left paradigm in the U.S. and U.S. politics is taken directly from the commercial world or the corporate world. In the business world you have Coke-Pepsi. You have McDonald’s-Burger King. You’ve got AT&T-Verizon. You’ve got duopolies. A duopoly gives the illusion of there being some competition and some choice. And it looks a little bit better than monopoly.

They know from previous experience and history that civilizations come and go and dwindle. They know the reasons why they come and go.
Maurice Strong is the man who said that they would never allow another country to rise up as powerful as America will never be allowed to happen again. And he said that the best thing we can do is tear down all the factories, all the top commerce of the United States and level it and give it back to nature. And that was the advice from this character who has tremendous power at the United Nations and was picked up and groomed by Rockefeller himself.
Nations rise and fall. They knew how debt could never be recuperated. They knew that disease and prolonged war could wipe out the population and future populations that pay off debt, so these guys all work together. That’s why it’s no surprise that today you have Lord Rothschild coming out pushing the latest scam or religion that we must all believe in which is global warming. Which his personal bank, his families bank in Switzerland, will be in charge of. They’ve run this system, the whole economic system of the world for the last 2 1/2 hundred years so why shouldn’t they also run the economic system for the next few hundred years.

We’re going into the greatest depression. There will be no job growth. Unemployment will continue to escalate. Along with it so too will crime, poverty, kidnappings, boss-nappings… And the more things spin out of control the harder the hammer is going to come down by the federal government to keep things in control.

To force their agenda through the elites are employing one of their favorite tools, artificial crisis creation, also known as the Hegelian dialectic of problem-reaction-solution.

It’s never been written about in any book that I’ve found as to who gave these guys the authority or permission to be the international bankers of the world. Why would you even need international bankers? Why would any government agree to use them? Why would you need to use them? Why can’t any country create its own money? It tells you there’s already an existing super structure already in existence, maybe two, three hundred years ago to give these guys permission to somehow be the overlords of all money for all countries.

Many people in the freedom movement have whispered, shouted, talked and warned others about the unaccounted for FEMA facilities being built around the country for several years now. Well, it seems like congress is currently facing the issue of opening these facilities and to begin using them for their intended purposes.

The bill will serve as the authorization to open and declare what these facilities can be used for and what they are preparing to do.

The Bill (H.R 645) begins with the Establishment of National Emergency Centers which will mandate that Homeland Security use no fewer than six existing military facilities, in each of the existing FEMA regions, to provide aid to individuals and families in the event of a declared emergency or natural disaster. These facilities will also be to train law enforcement entities, as well as clergy and other entities that will prepare the average citizen for a major event.

These facilities will be required to be equipped for long term stays by citizens. The bill designates an initial funding estimate at 360 Billion dollars for a period of two years.

..and is related to keep our rights to bear arms. On the table now is ammunition accountability legislation, it’s in 18 states and it requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacturer in a database and including all ammunition sales. They will now know how much you buy and what calibers. Remember how Obama said he wasn’t going to take your guns? Well seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammunition. According to ammunitionaccountability.org, the driving force behind this legislation, nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009, unless the ammunition is coded. Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1st, 2011… if they can deprive you of ammo they don’t need to take your guns.
