CONSTITUTION-CRASHER OBAMA SUED AGAIN
GETTING HIS DAY IN COURT - WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT: Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be a puppet for offshore banksters. (Although most days it sorta does.)

FREE SPEECH HEDGES ITS BETS: It would be great if the Pulitzer winner could pull this one off.
On December 16, 2011 a bill called "The National Defense Authorization Act" (NDAA) was passed by the US Senate.
This bill allows for anyone "alleged" to be in opposition to the US government - even US citizens and legal resident aliens - to be subjected to a military-style detention INDEFINITELY, without any right to an attorney, trial or any due process of law whatsoever.
Not surprisingly, there was a huge outcry from Americans. Even the US security establishment (FBI, CIA, etc.) spoke out against it. But then President Obama, after threatening to veto it, signed it anyway, on December 31, 2011.
So how did it pass? And more importantly, "Why did it pass?"
Perhaps some of this confusion will be cleared up when the new NDAA lawsuit by Pultizer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges comes to light. But will it be in time?

THE BUM LEADING THE SCUM: (left to right) Rep. Lamar Smith and Sen. Patrick Leahy. Being protested is Smith’s Stop Online Piracy Act in the House, and a bonus similar act of idiocy, Leahy’s PROTECT IP Act in the Senate.

Dear Senator Al Franken,
Don't get me wrong - while I fully support you in spirit, I cannot do so financially, due to my strict avoidance of creating a paper trail that Big Brother and the NDAA could too easily follow back to me, Ed Gauthier.
I enjoy your emails very much, and several of them (with related photos) have even shown up on the semi-popular news website known as blogweirdo.com, owned and edited by me, Ed Gauthier.
So here's wishing you only the best in your fine political endeavors, and hoping that you'll count on me advertising and rooting online for a major victory in your next term, even though you might no doubt be cursing certain folks as being "cheap bastards," including me, Ed Gauthier.
Sincerely,
Ed Gauthier Editor, www.blogweirdo.com Webcomics Cartoonist, www.mredweirdo.com
THE NDAA, AKA THE UNITED STATES OF GITMO: Political pundit and talk show host Alex Jones gives us the sad news of Obama's latest betrayal of the American people who trusted him with their votes.
President Obama, who pledged to veto the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), has instead signed it. Of course his promise was only for public consumption. After all, lying to your enemy is what invading corporate takeover armys do.
It was the Obama administration all along that demanded the indefinite detention provisions be added while at the same time telling the American people he was fighting to protect their rights. This is treason on parade, in your face all out despotism!
Among many other horrible things in the bill, it would allow for the random "suspected terrorist" arrest and indefinite detainment in FEMA "detention centers" of any legal citizen or legal resident alien for any reason, including mere orderly public protesting.
Yes, the Nazi-influenced NDAA (SB 1867) now signed by Obama, makes local military, cops and TSA officially into the US version of the Gestapo. Wow, we'll actually miss 2011!
Just like they weekend-slipped in the Fed bill in 1913, this time they did it on the last weekend of the year, knowing everyone would be off to New Year parties, and not paying attention.
Sure, Obama SAID he won't abuse the FEMA camp-friendly NDAA, but then he also SAID he was going to veto it!
Verbal promises mean nothing - all that matters is what's in the actual document itself, written down on paper in black and white.
So happy New Year, folks - you're screwed!
Update: 1/2/12 - - According to Infowars.com reporter Paul Joseph Watson, President Obama's promise, in the form of a "signing statement" at the time he okayed the NDAA bill this week, saying that he will not use the law to detain Americans without trial is completely hollow - because it was his administration that demanded the power to do so in the first place.
As the bill’s co-author and co-sponsor (with John McCain) Senator Carl Levin said during a speech on the floor last month, it was the Obama administration that demanded the removal of language that would have precluded Americans from being subject to indefinite detention.
“The language which precluded the application of Section 1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally approved…and the administration asked us to remove the language which says that U.S. citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section,” said Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
“It was the administration that asked us to remove the very language which we had in the bill which passed the committee…we removed it at the request of the administration,” said Levin.

In addition to all of the above, even if a miracle happens and Obama does nothing with the NDAA himself, the door will then still be wide open for any future President to do whatever they want to with it!
MOZART COMPOSES ANOTHER MASTERPIECE: (Mike Mozart's classic anti-SOPA rant, that is.).
This week Mike Mozart of JeepersMedia exposed the scam whereby the entertainment industry, which always complains about online "piracy," has for years been the main driving force behind that very same online piracy! Huh? Take it away, Mike:
"Here is 100% proof positive that the entertainment industry has for years been providing and encouraging online piracy!
"From CBS to NBC to Disney to Microsoft... they have all been providing the methods, directions and content to illegally download copyrighted material.
"Yes folks, the Entertainment Industry that at this very moment is crying to Congress to pass SOPA giving them control of the Internet.
"The very same corporations that are crying about illegal downloads and file sharing are the same corporations who ignited and fueled the entire black market of online piracy.
"This is known as the Hegelian Dialectic. In other words Problem, reaction, solution.
"First they create the problem.
"Then they react to the problem.
"Then they offer the solution.
"This is beyond scary. These pricks will control it all. All content will have to meet their approval or they shut it down!"

FROM IKE TO JFK TO WATERGATE AND BEYOND: Don't drink the Koolaid, but a little Welch's grape juice ain't bad now and then.
Today's featured video is more than ample proof that the NEW WORLD ORDER has been planned by the elite for many decades.
Robert Welch, Founder of The John Birch Society, predicted our present day problems with uncanny accuracy back in 1958 (when Nixon was vice-president), and in this 1974 (the same year Nixon later resigned as president) film (reproduced in black and white instead of its original color version) prescribed solutions that are very similar to presidential candidate Ron Paul's positions today.
There are obviously plans in place by the elite to systemically disassemble US sovereignty.
Welch himself didn't last through the entire 15 or so more years he refers to - he died in 1985, a half decade short of that goal. But even though he didn't make it to 1990, his dire - and very accurate - warnings remain.
FOUR SCORE AND THREE TOY STORIES AGO: So when's Tom Hanks gonna play Lincoln, already?

• George Washington (descendant of Edward III of England) • Thomas Jefferson (descendant of Edward III of England) • James Madison (descendant of Edward I of England) • James Monroe (descendant of Edward III of England) • John Quincy Adams (descendant of Edward III of England) • William Henry Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison (descendants of Edward I of England) • Zachary Taylor (descendant of Edward I of England) • Franklin Pierce (descendant of Henry I of England) • Rutherford Hayes (descendant of William I of Scotland and William the Conqueror) • Grover Cleveland (descendant of Edward I of England) • Theodore Roosevelt (descendant of James I of Scotland and Edward III of England) • William Taft (descendant of Edward III of England) • Warren Harding (descendant of Henry II of England) • Calvin Coolidge (descendant of Edward I of England) • Herbert Hoover (descendant of Edward III of England) • Franklin Roosevelt (descendant of James II of Scotland) • Harry S.

His daughter Mildred was the grandmother of Washington, while his daughter Mary is an ancestor of the Queen's mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.
