The above act, however, which Bush signed in a stealth maneuver, will actually encourage the President to declare martial law. It revises the Insurrection Act and laws that limit the President's ability to deploy troops in the United States. The Insurrection Act has, along with the Posse Comitatus Act, served to enforce prohibitions on any military involvement in domestic law enforcement.

   Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions with the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007." This was signed by the president on October 17th, 2006 in a private Oval Office ceremony. It allows the President to declare a "public emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, all in order to "suppress public disorder" as defined by the lone decider.

    President Bush thus seized unprecedented power on the very same day he signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006. One act allows for torture and detention abroad, while the other orders the military onto the streets of America for "major public emergencies."

   Here, the President determines that authorities of the State or possession are incapable of ("refuse" or "fail") in maintaining public order, "in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy." Or is it rebellion?

    With the President alone acting to "restore public order" he can order guardsmen from any state, despite the objections of local governmental, military, or police entities; ship them to another state; conscript them, and then turn them loose against "disorderly" citizenry.

   This law facilitates police round-ups and the detention of protesters, illegal aliens, "potential terrorists" and various "undesirables" for detention in facilities under construction by Halliburton. This law also provides for the newest in "crowd control" technology, and other weaponry designed to suppress dissent, direct from the Pentagon to local militarized police units.

   Senator Leahy of Vermont noted "the implications of changing the (Posse Comitatus) Act are enormous." He said "there is good reason for the constructive friction in existing law when it comes to martial law declarations. Using the military for law enforcement goes against one of the founding tenets of our democracy. We fail our Constitution, neglecting the rights of the States, when we make it easier for the President to declare martial law and trample on local and state sovereignty."

    Indeed.  So the police-state apparatus in the USA is now in full working order, and for the benefit of the New World Order gang – thanks to many "democrats" in Congress who voted for these executive instruments of torture, tyranny, and rebellion against time-honored democratic procedure.

    As ruling elites are masters of distraction, and own the weapons of mass distraction, it is hard not to believe the entire 9-11 event and war on terrorism is not simply a "false flag" operation to prepare the USA, and its Constitution, for a slow death and merger into the planned North American Union. The 9-11 event and Muslim fanatics are simply the ways and means to this end. As always, for the few to continue to control the many then distraction from behind-the-scenes reality is essential.

    Indeed, it appears we are being groomed and corralled for the North American Union fascism, now proceeding in secret and virtually buried in the corporate media even during the current run-up to the election. Clearly, the corrupt legislative coup and fait accompli is the ruling elites way to power - witness GATT-NAFTA-WTO, and their use and abuse of our media for their purposes.

    In any case it is now evident that with "our" President given the right to detain Americans, and claim anyone he deems as 'enemy combatant' not entitled to the protection of Habeas Corpus, AND with the power to call Martial Law anywhere in the United States, AND move National Guard Troops anywhere without the consent of state governments, we are no longer living in the United States Of America as we once knew it.

   If we had a National Initiative process with which to override "our" president and big money-controlled legislators, and we could be assured of honest vote counts, perhaps one would not need to be quite so alarmed at the passage of these acts as a people’s remedy could then be readily employed. But, in fact, we do not have either of these and alarmed we should be.

   This incredible, constitution-crushing, legislation is why thousands of lawyers and alert citizens around the country are aghast at what has transpired in this "land of the free" and so are now working to correct this full scale step into fascism.  God speed, join them, and may we forever rebel against such tyranny.
