The coup d’état bill

A different perspective.

S.1867,NDAA Appears to be abandoned.

H.R. 1540: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012

Last Action: Dec 21, 2011: Presented to President. And not signed.

It makes me so angry how blown out of proportion, taken out of context ranging from the absurd to downright fear mongering, and makes me wonder why so many people and even Ron and Rand Paul have jumped on this band wagon of fear mongering and out of context BS, it has already damaged Ron Paul’s campaign. I have been studying the facts on this NDAA over the last few weeks intensely. This kind of rhetoric is what will give them the excuse they are looking for to shut the internet down, all it would take is some disgruntled person, and there are many, to go off the deep end over all this nonsense.

I want my readers to understand that if I could find one shred of truth of these claims I would be all over it like flies on poop, as I wrote in my last article when they were starting this fear campaign about how FEMA is getting these camps ready. I contacted, completely separately and without letting either know I had contacted the other, KBR and the people I know inside, and their stories matched from 3 different sources.

1. Yes this bill is an anti-American piece of TRASH no doubt. Anything that condones secret prisons, torture and imprisoning anyone from anywhere with no trial is illegal and un-American as it get’s. Not only that this bill is going after Iran big time and of course giving billions of dollars for more death and destruction around the globe to the military industrial complex as our nation slips into a 3rd world banana republic. This is nothing new, think Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act, they do what they will anyway and always have because we the people let them.

2 . Yes this Bill does allow anyone including possibly American citizens to be arrested by the military and sent to one of these gulags but only if they have committed a belligerent act or directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

In aid of such enemy forces is the key.

A belligerent act in aid of such enemy forces, enemy forces in the bill are; as the bill reads- ” (1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks. Why isn’t anyone talking about this in the 9/11 truth movement? There should be a whole lot of people shaking in their boots right now.

(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces. Now this is from S. 1867 and has passed the senate but not the Congress nor been signed into law it looks to me that it has been abandoned. Here’s the link to see for yourself- http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s112-1867

H.R. 1540 : National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 this is the Bill that has passed both Senate and Congress and is just waiting for a signature or a veto from Barry Soetoro AKA Obama. I have included Sec 1021 and 1022 below.

Enemy forces in this bill are a member of, or part of, al-Qaeda or an associated force that acts in coordination with or pursuant to the direction of al-Qaeda; and have participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners.

The question is, are you a member of the enemy forces, or have you committed a belligerent act in aid of such enemy forces? Have you supported hostilities in aid of such enemy forces? Are you a person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks?

If your answer is no then the NDAA does not apply to YOU!

My conclusion and questions are.

This has nothing to do with the American people! It’s way bigger than that.

Why is no one in the truth movement talking about the good thing in this bill that would give the American Military by law to arrest, as this Bill states; “A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks. ” (This would include a broad range of Americans)

Might there be some kind of internal rift going on? Is this bill allowing the U.S. military to arrest anyone anywhere involved with 9/11 to be taken down and dealt with some kind of a counter threat in this great game being played out within.

It seems to me I would be pretty nervous if I were in the Bush administration or the intelligence apparatus and also remember this so called al-Qaeda is completely created by, run and controlled by al CIAduh let alone all the mock trials around the world, most recently Malaysia that have found Bush, Blair and Cheney just to name a few GUILTY of war crimes and crimes surrounding 9 1 1. I would be absolutely amazed if this ever gets signed into law. The good generals in the military would be responsible to arrest them all the day after it’s signed; legally!

Not only that, this will open Pandora’s Box for Russia and China to make their own laws to do the same, maybe God is working in mysterious ways and we will finally see some justice.

Almost everyone everywhere knows there are those amongst us that were/are involved with 9/11 and al-Qaeda.

This Bill is a threat and a dangerous game of chess being played out internally, if Obama signs this I wonder who the next Facebook patsy will be for the assassination. This is why I will be amazed if this ever gets signed into law.

If it does it will be very interesting to see if we have any real heroes in the military and if they will do their job, there should be a coup d’état within a few months and we will probably go under a military dictatorship temporarily until we get things sorted out.

If they want you they will get you without any legislation, bill or act, they do whatever they will and that’s what’s really scary. If this bill does get signed I really believe it will be eventually known in history as the coup d’état bill and we will see the US go into a military dictatorship for a short period until we throw off this abdominal government and replace it. The big brass is in the know and their just as tired of all this crap as we are, I think we are in for some interesting times very soon, it won’t be pretty I know but something has to be done soon or it’s going to be WWIII.

I still stand my ground and DON”T believe all this ‘the military is going to come after American citizens for blogging and being patriotic and start executing and throwing us in gulags’ this is all a bunch of BS and if it’s not all I can say is good luck it will be their biggest mistake, underestimating the American people.

FEMA, private contractors (KBR etc.) and the government are getting ready for a complete societal brake-down. I travel all over this country and I can’t even imagine in the event of a catastrophic event of any kind especially in these big cities. No one is prepared because most Americans believe nothing can happen here.

There are a lot of strange things going on inside the so called truth community… Beware!

NDAA FAQ: A Guide for the Perplexed

by Benjamin Wittes

(Benjamin Wittes & Robert Chesney)

The volume of sheer, unadulterated nonsense zipping around the internet about the NDAA boggles the mind. There was a time–only a few
months ago–when the NDAA detention provisions were the obscure province of a small group of national security law nerds. Now,
however, this bill has rocketed to international notoriety. The added attention to it is a good thing. It’s an important subject and
warrants genuine debate and discussion. The trouble is that much of the discussion is the intellectual equivalent of the “death
panel” objections to the health care bill. While certain journalists have done a good job covering the controversy, it’s much easier
to get bad information than good. The reader who wants answers to simple questions faces a confusing array of conflicting
information.

Here then, as a public service, is an NDAA FAQ–a simple attempt to lay out the key questions people are asking about the NDAA and
answer them as simply and neutrally as we can. Many of the answers here we have discussed in greater depth elsewhere on the blog. We
will link to those posts for readers who want greater depth. This is an overview, a Guide for the Perplexed.
