The Nacilbupera Guzzle

Whoever examines with attention the history of the dearths and famines … will find, I believe, that a dearth never has arisen from any combination among the inland dealers in corn, nor from any other cause but a real scarcity, occasioned sometimes perhaps, and in some particular places, by the waste of war, but in by far the greatest number of cases by the fault of the seasons; and that a famine has never arisen from any other cause but the violence of government attempting, by improper means, to remedy the inconveniences of a dearth. (Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations IV.5.44)

The NDAA: Whodunnit and What We Can Do

December is to politics as October is to stock market crashes.  It's a great time for Congress to pass the junk that nobody wants because we're all in the spirit of the winter season preparing for family events, winter vacations, and spiritual renewals.  Its the time of year that Congress sneaks in debt-ceiling raises and little things like Obamacare.

Last month, Congress passed a 565-page military spending bill, HR 1540 (full text) or the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  The most grievous portion of the bill is located in Title X, Subtitle D, Sections 1021-2, pages 265-7.  The bill, signed into law by President Obama allows permanent detention without trial of US Citizens by the military and is quite likely far worse on the violation of our rights and Constitution than even Obamacare.

The Senate held a couple of votes with final passage being 86-13 (roll call vote) with Utah's liberal Senator Hatch voting aye and conservative Senator Lee nay.  I must say that if anyone believes Senator Hatch has become more conservative over the past two years as he gears up for reelection, the severity of this Constitutional violation has to knock the wind out of any argument in that respect.

Utah's house vote was equally telling:  Bishop sided with Democrat Jim Matheson while Chaffetz voted against.  In all the House vote was much closer, 283-136 (roll call vote).  The NDAA is a clear violation of the 5th and 6th Amendments (and others) and MUST be repealed!

Video blogger ABillyRock puts the NDAA in perspective in promoting a Feb 3rd national event (Facebook) to bring attention to the repeal cause:



Also this week, Congressman Ron Paul introduced a 1-page bill, HR 3785 to repeal this most offensive section.  It should be on the forefront of anyone who defends the Constitution as well as a litmus test for choosing federal representatives in primary, general, and Presidential elections.  Here is the video from Rep. Paul who took the time out from campaigning in South Carolina to help preserve our liberties:

BUCK MCKEON is the PUNK REPUBLICAN who proposed the DETAINEE SECURITY ACT which scrapped THE BILL OF RIGHTS. THIS COWARDLY PUSS WANTED TO PULL SOMETHING REAL CHICKENSH-T THEN SKULK OFF INTO RETIREMENT.

Her company, COUNTRYWIDE, was part of the $700 BILLION BAILOUT. S/he has a vested interest in putting us in prison if we try to investigate her involvment in THE LARGEST RIPOFF OF ANY PEOPLE IN HISTORY. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE DETAINEE SECURITY ACT IS FOR. They'll MAKE US DISAPPEAR if we try to bring the government (i.e. the "jewish" bankers who control our government) to justice for their TREASON.

Anybody who's familiar with the NAZIFICATION OF GERMANY can see we're now on the same road. If you're not familiar, read THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH.

REAL CHRISTIANS and REAL AMERICAN CONSERVATIVES need to bombard this DISGRACEFUL HOMO with emails and faxes (Fax: 661-274-8744). Also, we need to get some pictures of this guy being SODOMIZED BY THE "JEWS" who (mis)run America. To be published worldwide. PATRIOTS, DO YOUR DUTY. http://mckeon.house.gov/
