Military Commissions Act and the death of the US

<html>note: I originally wrote this piece below as an editorial. USA: 1776 – 2006<o:p></o:p> A paradox of the <a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php" target="_self">largest modern media outlets</a> is that often times the more you watch (or read, for that matter) the more you inadvertently insulate yourself against politics and political news. If you caught any coverage of the historical <a href="index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=14892249&blogID=183556060" target="_self">Military Commissions Act of 06</a> bill that congress passed on 28 Sep 06 (say on CNN, who at least attempted to put the bill in context and provide some analysis of the bill) then pundits or journalists probably explained its significance in very limited terms (with the exception of <a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=3932646316025517332&hl=en" target="_self">Keith Olbermann</a>). In these few paragraphs below I provide a cursory historical context under which you may be better able to understand what this legislation means for our country. The US congress passed <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/18/1439225&mode=thread&tid=25" target="_self">The Military Commissions Act of 06</a> on Sep 28. HR 6166 and S3930, the pro-torture, anti-constitution bill passed with alarming ease. The law burned a hole through our constitution and where The Fourth Amendment used to be there is now unprecedented executive power (read: a clear picture of the dictatorship ahead of us). Where judicial and legal checks used to stand guard against unwarranted search, seizure and detention, executive equivocation now stands legally uncontested. Thus, when the bill left the table for debate our status as a constitutional republic went with it. Similar to other communist policies of the USSR, George Bush II, the USSA's illegally-elected dictator and heir to the legacy of Bush I issued no-bid contracts to the multinational corporation, <a href="http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/" target="_self">Halliburton</a> and effectively passed the spoils of an unprovoked, preemptive war for oil onto his second in command, Dick Cheney. Whenever government by-passes the process of contract bids and practices <a href="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=7094545816220336237&hl=en" target="_self">favoritism</a> on this scale instead of contract bids, it is evidence of communism and, in this case, a dictatorship soon to come. This behavior amongst the USSA <a href="index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=22378046&blogID=181354266" target="_self">Neo-Con</a> insurgents that falls directly in line with the precepts of communism goes back further than the current war for Middle East oil and world dominance, however. It goes back further than the authorship of <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2006/290406Colbert.htm" target="_self">Project for a New American Century</a>'s policy papers or when its membership formed under the plan to create a NeoCon/<a href="http://www.racetraitor.org/massarttalk.html" target="_self">Zionist</a>-led world government. Perhaps the most ominous milestone in the timeline of communistic behavior in the United States is another notorious bill that congress passed, but this bill passed in 1913. The National Reserve or Aldrich Bill essentially duped US (now USSA) citizens and gave the false impression that congress has legally amended the US constitution for the 16th time and legally established a new taxation power. This amendment, however, was and is a sham. In 2006 apparently the method of choice for illegal constitutional circumvention is to avoid the process of mock constitutional amendment and simply ignore the constitution entirely. The 1913 bill gave a <a href="http://www.themoneymasters.com/" target="_self">cartel of bankers</a> that included Senator Aldrich and Paul Warburg governmental powers to establish and maintain a monopoly over the banking business in the U.S. More than merely a maneuver to limit competition and fix prices, however, this 1913 bill was treason to destroy the former constitutional republic of the United States. The National Reserve-Aldrich bill granted a private institution known as the <a href="http://www.realityzone.com/creature.html" target="_self">Federal Reserve</a> sole powers to print and issue money. In order to pay off the interest on the loans the Federal Reserve issues to the US government, federal agencies began to levee an <a href="http://www.freedomtofascism.com/" target="_self">illegal, unapportioned tax</a> on the US workers' labor and this tax went only to pay the interest on debt the US accrues in order to print a currency that has as much value as monopoly money. The result was the end of our gold standard and our free-market economy. Furthermore the Federal Reserve followed and continues to follow the policy of war fomentation and is only one segment of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military-industrial_complex" target="_self">Military Industrial Complex</a> (Eisenhower's term). A central bank cartel that fixes prices, has more influence than a nation's constitution and illegally taxes its citizens is a hallmark of dictatorship, on par with <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/10/19/1347246" target="_self">secret prisons</a> and <a href="http://web.amnesty.org/pages/guantanamobay-index-eng" target="_self">unchecked torture</a>. It wasn't until the year 2006 that the US adopted those hallmarks of cruelty, inhumanity and fascism. With the passage of the Military Commissions Act of 06 (the aforementioned HR 6166, S 3930 bill) congress granted powers to the USSA executive branch that enabled its armies and police forces to act like authorities in Mussolini's Italy or Stalin's Russia and turn our former republic into a police state. The bill set into law, for example, the criminalization of political dissent speech. This very editorial is now criminal or even terrorist activity. Police forces can now detain USSA citizens indefinitely without charge, and police forces may use torture tactics that include, but are not limited to <a href="http://www.global-conspiracies.com/prison_planet_bushs_global_gulag.htm" target="_self">near-drowning</a> and <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/September2006/280906_b_Torture.htm" target="_self">sodomy</a>. Some of these abominations to democracy and human compassion were already the practice of some US forces such as the CIA. These forces (<a href="http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/68705,CST-EDT-REF23B.article" target="_self">all the way to the top of their chains of command</a>), though, will never receive any punishment for its past practices because the Military Commissions Act of 06 grants Bush and his administration retroactive immunity for any past war crimes against humanity. Another mark of a bona fide dictatorship is an elite leadership that illegally bends the laws to provide exception from its own practices because the leadership believes itself to be above the law. This categorically unconstitutional bill's passage is also the dissolution of the final illusion that there has been a true alternative to the NeoCon-ran dictatorship in the three governmental branches of the USSA. Although some notable democratic figures such as Hillary Clinton paid lip service to opposition of the bill, <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2006-491" target="_self">the Democratic Party condoned the bill</a> either when its members in congress voted for it or chose not to filibuster the bill until the end of the congressional term in November. It is now my unfortunate lot to wonder whether, thanks to the Military Commissions act and other similar post-911 legislation this bit of writing, my consumer history or library record will land me in a secret, Eastern European CIA labor camp, in the tradition of dissidents under nearly every western dictator of the 20th century. <div style="border-style: none none solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color black; border-width: medium medium 1pt; padding: 0in 0in 1pt;"> It is now every unfortunate patriot's duty to throw him or herself <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcx9BJRadfw" target="_self">upon the gears and the levers</a> of the machine to prevent its proper function. The alternative means only further unconstitutional taxation, imprisonment and elections. The US to which you pledged your allegiance is now dead. Goodbye to the middle class. <a href="http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/item/parent-0595393845" target="_self">Welcome to the USSA</a>. </div></html>
