The Army’s Civilian Inmate Labor Program

by admin on Mar.11, 2009, under Uncategorized

Haliburton subsidiary KBR has been quietly working on these camps for the past few years.

The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said. The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said.

As Jerome Corsi points out, NSPD-51 gives the President dictatorial powers, indefinite in duration, in the event of a declared emergency. The term “emergency” is quite broadly defined:

The directive loosely defines “catastrophic emergency” as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”

….NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 also makes no reference whatsoever to Congress. The language of the May 9 directive appears to negate any a requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists, suggesting instead that the powers of the executive order can be implemented without any congressional approval or oversight.

Now some may believe that our current President would not follow in the previous President’s footsteps and abuse power in this manner. I think the public record speaks for itself:

* Is Obama Embracing the Lawless, Omnipotent Executive?
* Obama Administration Supports Telco Spy Immunity
* Obama Administration Keeps Bush View on Afghanistan Detainees
* Obama Adminstration Tries to Kill E-mail Case
* Obama, Not Bush, Now Seeking Delay of Rove Deposition
* Obama Signals He Isn’t Interested in ‘Truth Commission’ to Investigate Bush Abuses
* Obama Administration Pressing Ahead with an Argument for Preserving State Secrets Involving Rendition and Torture Developed by the Bush Administration
* Biden: US Stands Ready to Take Pre-emptive Action Against Iran
* Obama Sides with Bush in Spy Case

Rage Against The Machine - The Ghost Of Tom Joad

by admin on Mar.03, 2009, under Uncategorized

Lyrics

Man walks along the railroad tracks
He’s goin’ someplace, and there’s no turnin’ back
The highway patrol chopper comin’ up over the ridge
Man sleeps by a campfire under the bridge
The shelter line stretchin’ around the corner
Welcome to the New World Order
Families sleepin’ in their cars out in the Southwest
No job, no home, no peace, no rest
No rest!

The highway is alive tonight
Nobody’s foolin’ nobody as to where it goes
I’m sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin’ for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls his prayer book out of his sleepin’ bag
The Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
He’s waitin’ for the time when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box ‘neath the underpass
With a one way ticket to the promised land
With a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleepin’ on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin’ in the city’s aquaduct

The highway is alive tonight
Nobody’s foolin’ nobody as to where it goes
I’m sittin’ down here in the campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad

Now Tom said, “Ma, wherever you seen a cop beatin’ a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Wherever there’s a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Ma, I’ll be there
Wherever somebody’s strugglin’ for a place to stand
For a decent job or a helpin’ hand
Wherever somebody’s strugglin’ to be free
Look in their eyes, Ma, you’ll see me”
You’ll see me (x8)

The highway is alive tonight
Nobody’s foolin’ nobody as to where it goes
I’m sittin’ down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of Tom Joad

Increasing Number of States Declaring Sovereignty

Representative Matt Shae (WA) Talks about Proposed Bill to Declare States Sovereignty

Infowars

February 5, 2009

Back in December, the Wall Street Journal had a good chuckle over Russian academic Igor Panarin’s prediction that the United States would break apart by 2010. Using threadbare Cold War logic, Andrew Osborn wrote that Panarin’s forecast “is music to the ears of the Kremlin, which in recent years has blamed Washington for everything from instability in the Middle East to the global financial crisis.” For the WSL scribe, Panarin’s analysis is about the Red Bear “returning to its rightful place on the world stage after the weakness of the 1990s, when many feared that the country would go economically and politically bankrupt and break into separate territories.”

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were nullified many years ago, at least since the emergence of the Federalists under Alexander Hamilton.

In fact, it was not so much “weakness” that destroyed Russia as it was the IMF, the World Bank, and Wall Street, in other words it was another bankster looting and fire sale scheme that brought the former Soviet Union down, not that we should expect the Wall Street Journal to admit as much. Ditto the current “global financial crisis” and instability in the Middle East.

“Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar,” Osborn summarizes. “Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces — with Alaska reverting to Russian control.”

In the case of a growing number of U.S. states, however, it is not so much economic decline and moral degradation pointing the way to a “disintegration,” but rather violations of the Tenth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791, and states restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states and to the people. It is based on an earlier provision of the Articles of Confederation: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.”

Although Fox News and CNN are not telling you about it, a growing number of states are declaring sovereignty. Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, and Georgia have all introduced bills and resolutions declaring sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Colorado, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, and Illinois are considering such measures.

Sadly, far too many Americans are woefully ignorant when it comes to understanding their rights and the Constitution. As Gary Alder notes in his “15 Key Principles of the Founding Fathers,” the “9th and 10th Amendments are the keystones to preserving Freedom.” In fact, the first 10 amendments, known as the Bill of (Individual) Rights, clarify the restraints placed on the national government and they safeguard the rights of individuals. It does not take a rocket scientist to conclude that all of these individual rights are under withereing attack by the federal government.

“Obama’s plans for a federal handgun license, ‘hate crimes’ laws to regulate Christians’ speech about their own religious beliefs on homosexuality, President Obama’s youth corps for mandatory public service and the so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine’ to ‘balance’ talk radio have New Hampshire Lawmakers telling Obama to basically grow up and get some better ideas,” writes Jake Jones. “They say that if Obama’s plans are implimented, it would constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States.”

Unfortunately, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were nullified many years ago, at least since the emergence of the Federalists under Alexander Hamilton, as Thomas J. DiLorenzo persausively argues. “Federalists like Joseph Story and John Marshall, and later Whig politicians like Daniel Webster and Abraham Lincoln… would tell The Big Lie that the Constitution was ratified by ‘the whole people’ and not as it actually was – by the citizens of the sovereign states, with their representatives assembled in state conventions,” writes DiLorenzo. In the years since, the reach and severity of federalism has grown expotentially. “The U.S. government is now characterized by dictatorial power, abuse of every kind of personal liberty, confiscatory taxation, economic fascism, dangerous militarism, and imperialism.” New World Order minion Obama will take this dictatorial power to new heights under the pretense of saving the people from the bankster engineered global economic depression.

As Obama and Congress further extend the dictatorial reach of the federal government — under the control of a small cotorie of globalists and international bankers — we can expect more states to assert their rights under the Constitution and the Tenth Amendment.

Civil liberties conference confronts ID cards and CCTV

by admin on Mar.01, 2009, under Uncategorized

Civil liberties conference confronts ID cards and CCTVThe gathering in Glasgow, organised by an anti-ID card pressure group, will link up with a similar conference in London.

Civil liberty campaigners are gathering in Glasgow to discuss concerns about the erosion of personal freedom in Scotland.

The Scottish Convention on Modern Liberty is being hosted by anti-ID card pressure group NO2ID and the Institute for Advanced Studies at Strathclyde University.

The conference will debate the topic of surveillance in Scottish society and across the UK.

Issues on the agenda include the UK Government’s proposals for a national identity card scheme, the proliferation of CCTV, and the role of biometrics in schools.

The Scottish meeting will link up with a similar gathering in London via video.

Speakers in Glasgow include Dr Ken Macdonald, Assistant Information Commissioner for Scotland, Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson, Green MSP Patrick Harvie, and Dr Geraint Bevan, NO2ID Scotland Co-ordinator.

NO2ID explained its mission as keeping up the pressure on politicians.

A statement on the group’s website reads: “NO2ID has been fighting against the database state since we started in 2004, when it was scarcely known or discussed. Our supporters and local groups across the UK inform and engage the public and the media, and keep the pressure up on elected representatives at every level of government. We are having an effect.”
