Singer-songwriter and marijuana enthusiast Willie Nelson could have faced a lengthy jail term after he was arrested for possession in November.
But perhaps the Texas prosecutor has been smoking some of Willie’s special cigarettes, because he has agreed to let the 77-year-old legend avoid prison but only if he gives the court a song.
Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett said: ‘I’m gonna let him plead, pay a small fine and he’s gotta sing “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” with his guitar right there in the courtroom.’
He added: ‘You bet you’re ass I ain’t gonna be mean to Willie Nelson.’
Nelson was arrested in November his tour bus was crossing the Mexican border into Hudspeth County, Texas on its way to Los Angeles when officers smelled cannabis coming from inside.
The bus was searched and six ounces was discovered, which Nelson said was his. He posted a $2,500 bail and the bus was allowed to go on its way.
Nelson is a keen advocate of legalising the drug and is co-chair of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
Local laws say that anything below three ounces is considered a misdemeanour, which Bramblett usually pushes for a fine and court costs, which are paid through the mail.
When Nelson’s papers came to County Judge Becky Walker’s desk, she told Bramblett to call the singer to her court, which he promptly did.
Although initially stopped with 6 ounces, with packaging removed the weight was less than three.
Bramblett, who prosecutes between 10 and 12 marijuana possession cases a month joked: ‘Between me and the sheriff, we threw out enough of it or smoked enough so that there’s only three ounces, which is within my jurisdiction.’
It is understood the singer will agree to the demand when his tour is next in town. It is not the first time the singer has been arrested for drug possession.
In January of this year, six of Nelson's band and crew members were stopped in North Carolina for allegedly possessing moonshine and cannabis in a vehicle they travelling in. They were issued with citations.
And back in 2006 Louisiana authorities searched Nelson's tour bus and found about a pound-and-a-half of marijuana and magic mushrooms.
'It’s a matter of time, a matter of education, a matter of people finding out what cannabis, marijuana is for, why it grows out of the ground and why it’s prescribed as one of the greatest stress medicines on the planet,' he said during an interview in 2008.
During national alcohol Prohibition, juries routinely drank the evidence then found bootleggers Not Guilty for lack of evidence.

The National Motorists Association is assisting in an appeal before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, challenging the state’s ability to charge non-refundable filing fees to defendants who simply want to contest a traffic ticket or parking ticket in court.
It all started when Belmont, Massachusetts attorney Ralph Sullivan found himself in the wrong lane in Salem two years ago. Sullivan fought his ticket in court and lost, but then appealed, and finally was found not responsible. Sullivan then requested a refund of his $25 initial hearing fee and $50 appeal fee, but was denied.
The case was combined with that of Vincent Gillespie, who sought to challenge a parking ticket, and had to pay $275 in non-refundable filing fees to fight his ticket all the way through appeal.
The NMA contacted Sullivan to offer assistance in the case. It was agreed that we should prepare what is called an Amicus Curiae brief, supporting and expanding on Sullivan’s own legal arguments against the filing fees. In particular, we wanted to make the case that the fees violate constitutional “due process.” The amicus brief was prepared, submitted to the SJC and accepted as a part of the combined case. (You can read the brief here.)
Attorney Sullivan appeared before the court on March 10th for “oral argument” with opposing Assistant Attorney General William W. Porter. (You can read a good account of the oral argument here, or listen to a podcast of the argument here. The oral argument of Gillespie’s attorney, William C. Newman, is here.)
Late in the proceedings, Chief Justice Roderick L. Ireland, who had previously remained silent, asked Porter, “From the perspective of the average Joe...what's the message here? You've got to pay to have your day in court…? Is that fair…?”
“I believe it is…” replied Porter.
Obviously, we beg to differ. How can $75 in non-refundable fees to fight a $100 traffic ticket or $275 in non-refundable fees to fight a $15 parking ticket possibly be fair?
The Court now will take time to consider all the oral arguments and review the filed briefs, and then deliver its ruling.
To quote our amicus brief, “The consequences of the Court’s decision on these appeals will materially affect the perceptions of citizens as to the purpose, fairness, legitimacy, and true justice inherent in the entire Massachusetts judicial system.”
We’ll see what message the court decides to send.
The NMA will pay your speeding ticket if you lose in court.
Kosher Judge Judy is paid $30-million per year to brainwash you to waive all Constitutions and Rules of Court
by Dr. Frederick D. Graves, JD Jurisdictionary.com
As has been said, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse," and though I disagree strongly with that maxim (since my profession has failed and refused to teach the public anything whatever about our laws, how they work, or how they can be enforced through our court system) one is wise to make an effort to know what the law affecting our lives is ... especially when we're fighting for our rights in court!
Q. Can you win without controlling the judge?
A. You cannot!
Doubt me at your peril!
I fought and won in court for a quarter-century by applying this simple secret: knowing how to control judges!
There's no other way!
How's it done, you ask?
What's the big secret?
Actually, it's no secret at all. It's very simple, really!
So simple, in fact, it's uncanny! All the laws and rules and testimony and evidence accounts for nothing if you don't know how to control the judge!
I received my degree from an excellent law school back in 1985. But, we weren't taught this secret to winning!
Surprise you? It should. It surprises me, too!
I faithfully attended 3 years of classes and read every page of a stack of lawbooks 20-feet high, but never were we told the simple secret of: How to Win in Court.
You must control the judge!
This is your #1 task ... if you want to win!
And, there's only ONE WAY to control the judge.
Threaten appeal!
Use empty threats, quote internet legal mythology, demand to see his oath of office, challenge jurisdiction based on the color of the fringe on the courtroom flag?
Absolutely not!
The process is simple, and YOU can do it!
If you have a lawyer, he may be unwilling to do it. He may be afraid to do it. But, if you want to win, someone must threaten the judge with appeal!
It's just plain dumb to march into court demanding one's "Constitutional Rights", expecting the judge to admit your evidence, to deny the evidence and tricks presented by the other side, and award judgment in your favor. It just doesn't work that way!
The key to winning at the trial level is making a winning record for appeal (in case the judge rules against you) at all times making it clear that the record you've made will win on appeal if the judge chooses to rule against you!
Judges don't like to be overturned on appeal.
Yes! It all comes down to this! Believe it or not!
Too simple? I thought so, too, at first. It took a couple of years before I finally saw the light. Law school led me to believe judges were a higher life-form that only did right and followed law. Some judges I dealt with these past 25 years were good. A few were arrogant, hard-headed egos who didn't like to be "talked back" to and acted as if the courtroom belonged to them, instead of to the People and the courageous young men and women who gave their all so we could demand justice from such tyrants and get it!
The following is a partial list of things YOU must insist upon (whether you have a lawyer or not) if you want to control the judge, make your winning appellate record, and influence the judge to rule in your favor. These are listed in no particular order. They are ALL covered in my official24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary lawsuit self-help course in which you will learn how to:
Draft proper pleadings with all fact elements Obtain all necessary evidence before trial Make effective oral motions Draft effective written motions Draft compelling memoranda Insure a written record of all proceedings is made Object promptly to all errors of opponent Object promptly to all errors of judge Renew objections to all un-cured errors of judge Keep your opponent's evidence out Get your evidence in Stop opponent from proposing false orders Offer to draft all orders Prevent opponent's lawyer from testifying ... and much, much more! Of course my Jurisdictionary self-help course shows a lot more skills than what's listed here as examples. If you don't know how to do these easy tasks, you let the judge off the hook! Once a judge sees you haven't prepared an effective record for appeal, he knows he can rule any way he wishes and escape the threat of successful appeal.
Do the math!
I realize these newsletters urge you to get my course. If you already have my official self-help course, I hope these newsletters remind you of the importance of studying the course thoroughly. Things you don't yet know are the very things your opponent will use to destroy your case!
Lawsuits are an axe fight. Bring your axe.
More in-depth details of legal research, what to search for, how to cite to cases, how to use cited cases to control judges, and much more is included in my official 24-hour, step-by-step lawsuit self-help course you will learn more about at Jurisdictionary.
Sturgeon v. The County of Los Angeles - In 1998, the state of California took over funding of all state trial court operations, including responsibility for payment of salaries and benefits to trial court judges. Los Angeles County, which is home to one of the largest trial court systems in the United States, continues to pay "local judicial benefits" to its judges to supplement the compensation and benefits they received from the state. This "double dipping" by trial court judges costs Los Angeles County taxpayers an estimated $20 million per year. In the spring of 2006, Judicial Watch filed a "citizen-taxpayer" lawsuit against the county seeking to have these payments declared unlawful and to enjoin future payments. Following the trial court's ruling upholding the payments, Judicial Watch appealed, and on October 10, 2008, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District Division One, reversed the ruling of the trial court and remanded the case. In July 2009, the trial court again upheld the payments, but Judicial Watch provided a Notice of Appeal on September 28, 2009. However, in December 2010, the lower court's judgment was affirmed, so Judicial Watch filed a petition for review on February 4, 2011.
FullDisclosure.net - How to file a Motion to Vacate Void Judgment for corruption of judge
An incoherent Judge Judy told shocked audience members she "needed to stop" one of her made-for-TV cases because she was "not feeling well," RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Judge Sheindlin was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday morning after she suddenly started saying things that didn't make sense, a studio insider revealed.
"She was just sitting on the stand during her show taping and she started saying things that didn't make any sense," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com, exclusively.
"She said, 'I need to stop, I'm not feeling well.'"
The source told RadarOnline.com that the 68-year-old judge was only two cases deep into her taping when her bizarre behavior prompted her to stop and have a crew member call 911.
"She said couple of sentences that didn't have anything to do with the case and then she stopped speaking and said she wasn't feeling well," the source said.
"The stage manager called the paramedics and they came and took her away."
The Los Angeles City Fire Department confirmed to RadarOnline.com that a paramedic ambulance was dispatched to the KTLA Studios in Hollywood, where Judge Judy tapes her show, at 9:12 a.m. today.
Sheindlin's rep, Gary Rosen, confirmed to RadarOnline.com that the judge is in the hospital and will be staying overnight for observation. "The judge was feeling nauseous and had some intestinal discomfort and decided to go to the hospital to get it checked out," Rosen said.
Bubba's smoking gun mugshot looks calm and relaxed...
What disturbs me about these articles is lack of the word "alleged". Most corporate "news" media is employed by Big Brother to sell its Police State to the sheeple, and are paid billion$ of your tax dollars to do so. Rarely does a "news" reporter actually double check what a govt press release claims. So you can't believe anything the corporate media says, other than basic facts like names and places.
"'People are too trusting, people don't ask the right questions.' Sometimes, being too trusting was equated with being too dumb. But sometimes when he would say that and say, 'People don't ask the right questions,' it was almost with a sense of regret, as if he were uneasy with what he was part of, and wished that people would challenge it and maybe not be so trusting." -Dr. Lawrence Dunegan MD, quoting Dr. Richard Day MD who was director of a corporation paid $100-million by the U.S. Govt to successfully genocide 100-million U.S. citizens, New Order of the Barbarians
Cops routinely lie and are required to lie as condition of employment, with immunity from prosecution. When cops lie under oath to tell the truth under penalty of perjury, cops call it "testilying".
"Don't you need probable cause? You mean you can lie like that? That is so cool!" -Rick Castle, Nanny McDead
COP. 2. to steal; filch. 3. to buy (narcotics). 4. cop out, a. to avoid one's responsibility, the fulfillment of a promise, etc.; renege; back out. 5. cop a plea, a. to plead guilty or confess in return for receiving a lighter sentence. b. to plead guilty to a lesser charge; plea-bargain. -Random House Unabridged Dictionary
"10% of cops are honest, 10% are dishonest, and 80% wish they were honest." -Detective Frank Serpico NYPD, testimony to Knapp Commission
When a mere citizen lies to police (or allegedly lies to police), they go to jail like Martha Stewart, even when not under oath to tell the truth under penalty of perjury.
Chances are high this was a scripted arrest for Bubba's "reality" TV show -- Bubba's World -- to boost ratings and "street cred". The "arrest" backstory could become part of his TV show. This arrest resulted in at least $1-million in free publicity. The only bad publicity is no publicity, which is why Charlie Sheen is paid $3-million per day, in an Odd Couple sit-com based on his reality.
Scripted means pre-arranged with the cops. Fake "news" conspiracies between media and cops happens every day in USA, such as fake "emergency disasters" requiring martial law evacuation or highway closures (US129 Dragon closed by "rockslide" for 6 months in 2010, Army train "derailment chlorine leak" in Knoxville TN, fake highway closures by non-existent "crashes" in Austin TX caught on video by Alex Jones).
Or it could be a stupid fuckup that's gonna cost him $50,000 in legal expenses, and high risk of enslavement on a govt plantation.
Potential defenses in court, assuming the allegation is true that blue lights were PROVEN (undercover video or admission/confession by defendants), and assuming blue lights are illegal except for govt "law enforcement officers":
1. Bubba was making a citizen's arrest of a driver breaking The Law, which is legal in every state.
2. A constitutional law defense could be made under equal protection, that since LEOs can use blue lights when making an arrest, then everyone must be able to use blue lights to make a citizen's arrest, and the prohibition statute is illegal.
Potential defense in court, assuming that blue lights were NOT proven, no admission/confession, no video, no recovery of blue lights in evidence:
3. Off-duty cops (witnesses) were drunk, high and lying to fuck with black dudes.
4. Open Records Act Request of personnel files of the cops, and Brady Motion for Internal Affairs Complaints, proves prior evidence of perjury by the off-duty cops, destroying their testimony.
5. A search of the defendants was illegal, so evidence of blue lights must be suppressed. Thus the case must be dismissed.
Success in court usually depends on whether the defendants exercise their Fifth Amendment right to SHUT THE FUCK UP.
LONDON, N.W.O. H.Q. -- The controversy generated by the European Commission’s announcement that it intends to ban all cars from city centers by 2050 only scratches the surface of the true tyranny that the globalists have in store for us as part of their “planned-opolis” agenda, which represents a chilling hybrid of communist and fascist control measures that will completely subjugate the population and eviscerate all traces of freedom, mobility and independence.
“Cars will be banned from London and all other cities across Europe under a draconian EU masterplan to cut CO2 emissions by 60 per cent over the next 40 years,” reports the London Telegraph.
Reaction to the proposal was furious, with the Association of British Drivers labeling the plan “crazy,” warning it would plunge Europe into a “new dark age”. BDA spokesman Hugh Bladon suggested its architect, Siim Kallas – Vice-President of the European Commission, should go and find himself “a space in the local mental asylum”.
UK Transport Minister Norman Baker was also forced to address the controversy, saying the EU should not be meddling in individual cities’ transport policies.
“We will not be banning cars from city centres anymore than we will be having rectangular bananas,” he said.
However, the fact that the globalists plan to ban cars as part of their effort to destroy the living standards of westerners under the contrived pretext of halting global warming is not even the half of it.
As we highlighted in January, funded by monolithic corporations and large banks, including the likes of Bank of America, Time Warner and Royal Dutch Shell, the Forum for the Future NGO released a video bragging of how the elite not only plan to ban private car ownership for all but the most wealthy, they also seek to imprison malcontents who don’t conform to the new eco-fascist system within squalid ghettos while those who do submit have every aspect of the lives controlled by super computers and a nanny state on steroids.
After we published two articles exposing the group’s hideous agenda, the Forum for the Future organization pulled the video from You Tube, presumably wary that one of the slaves had caught on (“we’ve got one that can see!”), but a mirror version was later re-uploaded by a concerned reader.
Browbeating us about how the only solution to expensive fossil fuels is to enforce a “tightly planned and controlled” system, the infomercial (again, funded in part by oil companies like Royal Dutch Shell), goes on to tell the story of what life will be like in 2040 through the words and actions of a subservient, obedient slave named “Vee” who dutifully acquiesces to the necessity of the new way of things.
We soon begin to learn what living in the new “planned-opolis” will look like – food and water is regulated and rationed by a “Global Food Council” which seizes total control over farming. Meat is a rare treat only to be enjoyed on special occasions (mirroring precisely the conditions endured by those in Maoist China).
The state decides what your job will be with “designated career announcements,” nobody has the choice to decide their own vocation.
Movement and behavior is controlled by a calorie credit card linked to a smart phone that rations the amount of travel the citizens of “planned-opolis,” are allowed to make. Private ownership of cars will be banned for non-elitists because, “the state knows they just aren’t practical anymore.”
Of course, none of these new rules will apply to the rich elitists enforcing them on the rest of us – it’s made clear in the ad that the wealthy will still be able to roll around in CO2-belching cars whenever they like while everyone else is forced to get government permission and be allocated a time slot in which to use restricted vehicles provided by the “Slick Travel Corporation”.
“It makes so much sense doesn’t it,” insists the smiley faced slave “Vee,” who enjoys the fact that she can “switch off brain and go to work,” adding, “With this many people around I’m glad there’s a mega-computer in charge.”
Of course, for those who resist and still cling to some semblance of freedom in defiance of the state and the super-computers running the slave grid, there’s the “cry freedom ghetto,” prison camps for malcontents who are blocked from getting jobs, accessing high speed transport or the Internet.
In an article entitled Eco-Fascists Call For Prison Cities, we go through specific examples of how everything in the video has direct parallels to how populations living under Stalinist, Maoist and Nazi tyrannies were controlled by a corrupt state.
The fact that the clip makes it clear that the ultra-rich elitists will still be able to flout all the rules which will only apply to the serfs underscores the fact that, even if you believe in the contrived fraud of man-made climate change, this has nothing to do with saving mother earth, it’s about population control and domination. They’re throwing it in our faces.
Forget just restricting car use in city centers, these vampiric globalists literally want to imprison us within slave grids run by their super computers, while only they will get to enjoy the comparative luxuries of driving cars, eating meat, and having any kind of independent control over their own lives.
Does this represent “progress”? is this the elite’s idea of a bright and prosperous future? Or is it the sick fantasy of a gaggle of kleptocrats that want to return humanity to the dark ages of slaves and slave masters?
Unless we want our children and grandchildren to live in a society where they have to beg and grovel at the feet of elitists for any form of decent living, while those same aristocrats laugh in their faces as they savour the luxuries and delicacies restricted from the general scum public, we really need to reject their agenda by aggressively identifying what it really is – a putrid, offensive, arcane vision of a future designed solely to reinforce a barbarian caste system of haves and have nots that will facilitate a boot stomping of the face of humanity forever.
KNOXVILLE, TENN. - A 46-year-Knoxville man has died of injuries sustained in a Monday motorcycle crash.
Terrence Hicks was injured about 7 p.m. when he lost control of a 2002 Yamaha V-star motorcycle while traveling north on Helmbolt Road, according to Knoxville police. The crash occurred near Creekhead Drive in West Knoxville.
The motorcycle flipped after leaving the roadway, police said.
Police said Hicks did not have a license to operate a motorcycle.
Hicks, who was wearing a helmet, was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. He initially was listed in critical condition.
A hospital spokeswoman today said Hicks had died but she was unable to say exactly when because of medical confidentiality.
Newsflash: There's no such thing as a "motorcycle license". THP and MSF censor countersteering from the so-called "motorcycle license" ("endorsement") test, in order to raise the death rate 900% and "justify" $100,000 salaries for the Police State. Note lack of mention of Countersteering in this "news" story. USDOT reports ignorance of countersteering as the cause of 90% of fatal crashes.
UT Medical Center is owned by Canada, in case you need to sue for medmal, as one of the 10-million Americans murdered by medical doctors every year in USA. MDs are the leading cause of death, and are the most dangerous part of any crash. SO DON'T CRASH.
Govt employees are never prosecuted for false-flag terror conspiracies THAT KILL COPS
This particular false-flag terror conspiracy WAS TO BLAME COPS...
"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the public unions. Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions. God bless." -Carlos F. Lam, deputy attorney general
For the second time, an Indiana public official has lost his job because of provocative comments made about the political brouhaha in Wisconsin.
Carlos F. Lam, a Johnson County deputy prosecutor, resigned Thursday after acknowledging he sent an email last month urging Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to discredit labor union protests by orchestrating a fake assault on himself.
Possibly, Lam suggested, the pretend assailant might even use a firearm.
Lam's boss, Prosecutor Bradley D. Cooper, accepted the resignation. He called Lam's Feb. 19 email to Walker a "foolish suggestion."
On Feb. 23, the Indiana Attorney General's office fired deputy Atty. Gen. Jeff Cox after he suggested in blog posts and on Twitter that police use live ammunition on protesters who had poured into Wisconsin's Capitol.
The political fight in Wisconsin erupted when Walker, a Republican, called for eliminating collective bargaining for public employees. That bill passed March 10 and was signed into law the next day.
Lam's message, posted on The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism's website, said, in part: "If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the public unions."
Prosecutor Carlos Lam on the lam from grand jury indictment for conspiracy and obstruction of justice
Lam could not be reached Thursday. Efforts to reach the governor's office in Wisconsin were unsuccessful.
A spokesman for Walker told the center for investigative journalism that the governor condemns the email's suggestion and supports the union supporters' right to peacefully protest.
Lam began his email to Walker by urging the governor to stay strong in the face of the massive union protests.
The email closed with: "Currently, the media is painting the union protest as a democratic uprising and failing to mention the role of the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and umbrella union organizations in the protest," the email said. "Employing a false flag operation would assist in undercutting any support that the media may be creating in favor of the unions. God bless, Carlos F. Lam."
Lam initially told The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism that he did not write the email and suggested that someone must have hacked into his account.
"I am flabbergasted and would never advocate for something like this, and would like everyone to be sure that that's just not me," Lam told the center.
Lam was hired in 2004 to prosecute juvenile crimes in Johnson County.
His boss, Cooper, initially defended Lam saying that he believed that the email account had been hacked.
"Whether there's rules of professional conduct that apply or not is irrelevant, because he didn't send it," Cooper told the center.
The nonprofit watchdog group posted the comments Thursday in a story on its website, Wisconsin Watch.org. Hours later, Cooper announced that Lam admitted writing the message and had resigned.
The center found Lam's email among tens of thousands that media organizations received as part of a settlement to an open-records lawsuit.
The blog posts and comments from Cox, the fired deputy attorney general, came to light when they were posted on Mother Jones magazine's website.
In addition to his political opinion and "strategy," Lam also included a phone number.

Japan is continuing its relief efforts, attempting to recover from March 11's 9.0 magnitude earthquake, which subsequently triggered a tsunami in the Northeastern region of the country north of Tokyo.
As of Friday, the death toll is more than 7,000, and there are over 10,000 people missing. There is also fear of a nuclear power-plant meltdown due to the quake.
Following are some updates from the Big Four in the Motorcycle industry (Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki) regarding operations after the Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
Suzuki Motorcycles
All Japanense manufacturing facilities are closed until March 21. The emergency situation due to the Japan Earthquake will be reassessed next week to determine when the plants will re-open.
Suzuki's production buildings are about 150 miles south of Tokyo, and weren't damaged due to the earthquake. But Suzuki co-partnered with the "Rolling Power Blackouts," which conserves energy to help prevent a blackout.
Five Suzuki facilities are closed, including Takatsuka and Toyokawa, where motorcycles are assembled.
Suzuki has also donated 30 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross to help the recovery effort.
Kawasaki Motorcycles
UltimateMotorcycling.com received a message from Kawasaki Motors Corp., USA, which was sent to all its dealers last week. The message, written by Kawasaki President Tak Terahishi, stated the following:
"Many of you have called conveying your thoughts and prayers for Kawasaki's staff and family members in Japan, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Japanese citizens who have been affected by this tragedy. Your concern is both appreciated and heartfelt.
"The primary disaster area is centered near Sendai, which is 185 miles northeast of Tokyo. Kawasaki's Akashi factory is located 400 miles southwest of that location. Fortunately, the Akashi/Kobe area where KHI offices and factory are located did not experience any direct effects from the earthquake.
"The people of Japan will continue to face immediate hardships; the situation there is changing daily.
"The companies that operate there, like Kawasaki, will continue to monitor the situation and will be prepared to adjust business operations as dictated by circumstances.
"Again, we want to thank you for your concerns. As more information becomes available we will provide you with updates."
Yamaha Motorcycles
Yamaha Motor Company reported last week that there was no damage to its facilities, which include five motorcycle factories. But the motorcycle production facilities will remain closed until March 23 as part of the "Rolling Power Blackouts."
Yamaha reported it will reassess the situation on March 23, and will decide if it will go back to production.
To assist in the Japan quake recovery effort, Yamaha donated thousands of items, including water, meal, surgical masks, portable toilets, blankets, electric bicycles and generators.
Honda Motorcycles
Due to the relief effort in Northeastern Japan from to the Earthquake and subsequent Tsunami, Honda has extended the suspension of production until March 23 at three factories.
This includes the Kumamoto Factory, where Honda manufactures motorcycles (the CBR600, the VFR1200F, the DN-01 and the Super Cub).
Honda, who originally planned to restart production in these plants on March 20, says that from March 24 on it will make decisions "based on the status of the recovery of parts supply as well as Japanese society as a whole."
To help out Japan Earthquake victims, Honda also supported its country with the following aid:
・ 300 million yen toward the relief and recovery effort.
・ A total of 1,000 generators (gasoline-powered and home-use gas canister-powered), along with 5,000 gas canisters. Honda also will dispatch its staff to explain how to use the donated generators.
Electric Power Co. said Wednesday it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after it was crippled by the massive March 11 quake-tsunami disaster.
TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, said the neutron beam measured about 1.5 kilometers southwest of the plant’s No. 1 and 2 reactors over three days from March 13 and is equivalent to 0.01 to 0.02 microsieverts per hour and that this is not a dangerous level.
The utility firm said it will measure uranium and plutonium, which could emit a neutron beam, as well.
In the 1999 criticality accident at a nuclear fuel processing plant run by JCO Co. in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture, uranium broke apart continually in nuclear fission, causing a massive amount of neutron beams.
In the latest case at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, such a criticality accident has yet to happen.
But the measured neutron beam may be evidence that uranium and plutonium leaked from the plant’s nuclear reactors and spent nuclear fuels have discharged a small amount of neutron beams through nuclear fission.
Damaged Japanese Nuclear Plant Has Five Mark 1 Reactors
Thirty-five years ago, Dale G. Bridenbaugh and two of his colleagues at General Electric resigned from their jobs after becoming increasingly convinced that the nuclear reactor design they were reviewing -- the Mark 1 -- was so flawed it could lead to a devastating accident.
Questions persisted for decades about the ability of the Mark 1 to handle the immense pressures that would result if the reactor lost cooling power, and today that design is being put to the ultimate test in Japan. Five of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which has been wracked since Friday's earthquake with explosions and radiation leaks, are Mark 1s.
"The problems we identified in 1975 were that, in doing the design of the containment, they did not take into account the dynamic loads that could be experienced with a loss of coolant," Bridenbaugh told ABC News in an interview. "The impact loads the containment would receive by this very rapid release of energy could tear the containment apart and create an uncontrolled release."
The situation on the ground at the Fukushima Daiichi plant is so fluid, and the details of what is unfolding are so murky, that it may be days or even weeks before anyone knows how the Mark 1 containment system performed in the face of a devastating combination of natural disasters.
But the ability of the containment to withstand the events that have cascaded from what nuclear experts call a "station blackout" -- where the loss of power has crippled the reactor's cooling system -- will be a crucial question as policy makers re-examine the safety issues that surround nuclear power, and specifically the continued use of what is now one of the oldest types of nuclear reactors still operating.
GE told ABC News the reactors have "a proven track record of performing reliably and safely for more than 40 years" and "performed as designed," even after the shock of a 9.0 earthquake.
Still, concerns about the Mark 1 design have resurfaced occasionally in the years since Bridenbaugh came forward. In 1986, for instance, Harold Denton, then the director of NRC's Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, spoke critically about the design during an industry conference.
"I don't have the same warm feeling about GE containment that I do about the larger dry containments,'' he said, according to a report at the time that was referenced Tuesday in The Washington Post.
"There is a wide spectrum of ability to cope with severe accidents at GE plants,'' Denton said. "And I urge you to think seriously about the ability to cope with such an event if it occurred at your plant.''

Top-secret wartime experiments were conducted off the coast of Auckland to perfect a tidal wave bomb, declassified files reveal.
An Auckland University professor seconded to the Army set off a series of underwater explosions triggering mini-tidal waves at Whangaparaoa in 1944 and 1945.
Professor Thomas Leech's work was considered so significant that United States defence chiefs said that if the project had been completed before the end of the war it could have played a role as effective as that of the atom bomb.
Details of the tsunami bomb, known as Project Seal, are contained in 53-year-old documents released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Papers stamped "top secret" show the US and British military were eager for Seal to be developed in the post-war years too. They even considered sending Professor Leech to Bikini Atoll to view the US nuclear tests and see if they had any application to his work.
He did not make the visit, although a member of the US board of assessors of atomic tests, Dr Karl Compton, was sent to New Zealand.
"Dr Compton is impressed with Professor Leech's deductions on the Seal project and is prepared to recommend to the Joint Chiefs of Staff that all technical data from the test relevant to the Seal project should be made available to the New Zealand Government for further study by Professor Leech," said a July 1946 letter from Washington to Wellington.
Professor Leech, who died in his native Australia in 1973, was the university's dean of engineering from 1940 to 1950.
News of his being awarded a CBE in 1947 for research on a weapon led to speculation in newspapers around the world about what was being developed.
Though high-ranking New Zealand and US officers spoke out in support of the research, no details of it were released because the work was on-going.
A former colleague of Professor Leech, Neil Kirton, told the Weekend Herald that the experiments involved laying a pattern of explosives underwater to create a tsunami.
Small-scale explosions were carried out in the Pacific and off Whangaparaoa, which at the time was controlled by the Army.
It is unclear what happened to Project Seal once the final report was forwarded to Wellington Defence Headquarters late in the 1940s.
The bomb was never tested on a full scale, and Mr Kirton doubts that Aucklanders would have noticed the trials.
"Whether it could ever be resurrected ... Under some circumstances I think it could be devastating."
Project Seal ( also known as the Tsunami bomb) was a programme by the New Zealand military to develop a weapon that could create destructive tsunamis. This weapon was tested in Whangaparaoa off the coast of Auckland between 1944-1945. The experiments were conducted by Professor Thomas Leech. British and US defence chiefs were eager to see it developed and it was considered as important as the atomic bomb. The weapon was only tested using small explosions and never on a full scale. If it were to be fully produced and used, it would have created huge amounts of damage to coastal cities; it could have even been used with a nuclear charge. After 4000 test explosions over a seven-month period, none of which generated an appreciable tsunami, the project was closed down when it was determined that there were errors in the theoretical basis of the plan. The top secret documents on Project Seal were only declassified in 1999. A copy of the declassified report is available to the public at the Scripps Institution Of Oceanography Library in San Diego, California.

ALEDIA CENTENO RODRIGUEZ, Frente Patriotico Arecibeño, said her organization had spoken last year on the United States strategy to authorize a nuclear weapons production facility in Puerto Rico, in violation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. She explained that Arecibo was home to the Arecibo National Astronomy and Ionospheric Centre (NAIC), which was used as an “ionospheric heater” [an array of antennae which are used for heating the uppermost part of the atmosphere]. Arecibo was also mentioned as a test-site for the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP), in a patent filed by an individual in the United States, to conducted experiments related to ionospheric manipulation. HAARP could function as an anti-missile and anti-aircraft defence system, permit interception and disruption of communications, weather and submarine and subterranean communications, among other things. The HAARP patent papers also stated that the invention could “simulate and perform the same function as performed by the detonation of a heavy type nuclear device”.
She said Arecibo was also mentioned in connection with the Puerto Rico Karst Conservation Act, which included authorization for the deployment of a nuclear weapons production facility. Aerial photos taken in the region showed antenna-like devices directed towards the ground, present since the mid-1990s. The citizens of Arecibo had not been made aware of the consequences or possible effects of those atmospheric experiments. Statements found in the literature regarding those experiments admit to the use of laser rays aimed at the atmosphere and there have been witnesses to the use of such rays for decades. There was a high rate of cancer cases of unknown origin in that region.
She said documents from the United States Department of Defence and Energy, and the National Nuclear Security Administration appeared to be directed to the use of Puerto Rican territory for the production of nuclear weapons. On 17 May, a United States House Bill on the safety for Americans from nuclear weapons testing was introduced, which states that “alternate locations for nuclear testing were being considered”. The bill also stated that the Department of Energy, acting under the National Environmental Policy Act, would be responsible for handling cases of contamination in the United States. In addition, Puerto Rico was designated as a territory under the purview of the Radiological Assistance Programme, which was ready to intervene in cases of radioactive contamination. It would seem that that entity was in charge of the well-being of the people of Puerto Rico in case of a nuclear accident.
Recently, a female caller phoned in to Alex Jones’ radio show as he was interviewing George Noory. She was obviously excited about sharing a government CFTC website link. Unfortunately, Jones ignored her story – so she persevered and called into Noory’s Coast to Coast show. Here is the call:
Caller was Michelle Foy, US Army paratrooper veteran.
The website the caller was referencing is:
http://cftc.gov/ucm/groups/public/@lrfederalregister/documents/frcomment/08-004c002.pdf
It is a 35 page document given to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission pursuant to their request for “Public Input on Possible Regulations of “Event Contracts.” It was authored by a woman named Andrea Psoras, who at the time (May 5, 2008) appears to have been employed by an international corporation named QEDI International.
According to their official website, QEDI is a strategic, “valued partner” to BP oil (as well as many other big oil companies).
http://www.qed-i.com/QediValuedPartners/ValuedPartnerBP.aspx
QEDI would be responsible for providing risk assessment data to major insurance companies like AIG, or Lloyds of London, for such operations as TransOcean/BP’s DeepWater Horizon project in the Gulf.
Andrea Psoras wrote to the CFTC on May 5, 2008. Could it be that she was whistleblowing without naming names in QEDI? This appears to be likely, as it seems that Ms. Psoras is no longer currently employed at QEDI. One can only speculate as to why she left.
Indeed, just as the “moral hazard” Ms. Psoras outlined in her 35-page “input paper” – Goldman Sachs placed substantial “Commodity Futures” on BP, and TransOcean stocks, and made untold billions via “put options” on the disaster.
I submit that Ms. Psoras had information and a strong reason to believe that such a dastardly event was not only being contemplated by highly corrupt individuals in the “Commodity Futures” market, but was actually being planned and formulated at a very high level. Thus, she voiced her “vigorous opposition” to the planned activities.
The actions of Goldman Sachs, et. al. appear to be nothing less than the contemptible, pre-meditated murder of the Gulf of Mexico.
Thank you, Ms. Andrea Psoras, for taking a strong stand, and for accepting the consequences of your actions.
The salient question, then, is what other massive “Event Contracts” (such as 9/11/2001) could be waiting in the wings for the gullible sheeple of American to endure? Should America be concerned, as Ms. Psoras obviously is, about high-tech weapons including earthquake generators in the hands of corrupt and heartless individuals? Wouldn’t a massive earthquake generated specifically at the “New Madrid Fault Zone” result in the grand-daddy of all “Event Contracts” – as it would involve a “natural attack” on America of biblical proportions?
According to the following website, in the summer of 2009, FEMA has bestowed a mult-million dollar grant to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prepare a massive report of what could be expected if an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude or greater hit the New Madrid Fault Line. In other words, this is in reality a massive “Event Contract” involving the destruction and death of 8 States – Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. The “epicenter” of this “Event Contract”? Beebe Arkansas. Has there been anomalies consistent with Tesla Weapon deployment (strange weather, dead birds, etc.)?? Indeed there has.

Take a close look at who has “partnered” up to produce this “Event Contract”. Virginia Tech University is prominently involved. Remember Virginia Tech? This is were the Ft. Hood shooter, one “Major” Nidal Hasan was schooled and trained.
DARPA has MAJOR connections (other than Major Hasan) with VT, just do a Goggle search on DARPA and Virginia Tech…..
Example:
“The Department of Defense (DoD) today announced the selection of Regina E. Dugan as the 19th director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)…..Dugan earned her doctorate in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology and her master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Virginia Tech.”
-DOD Press release
DARPA – Virgina Tech produced psycho shooters Seung-Hui Cho, Malik Nadal Hasan, and now is the epicenter for the “Event Contract” of the “Mid-American Earthquake Center”? Doesn’t anyone but me find this highly unusual and eerie?
Concerning Virginia Tech, mind-control victim and author/lecturer Cathy O’Brien correctly declared: “Virginia Tech is good for two things, engineering and mind control.”
http://www.rense.com/general77/buttmt.htm
Seung-Hui Cho, and Malik Nadal Hasan are individuals of Oriental and Middle-Eastern extraction respectively. What are some of the names of the DARPA Virginia Tech Earthquake Research Team commissioned by FEMA? Try these names on for size:

These individuals work for something called the “Center for Technology, Security and Policy at Virginia Tech University” and EVERYONE OF THEM are making BIG MONEY preparing this catastrophic “Event Contract” for FEMA and the boys at DARPA. Does this concern ANYONE but me???
Look at the names. How many American heartland names such as Smith, Jones, etc. do you see?? Go ahead, call me a bigoted racist if you want, but this rings too much of Seung-Hui Cho, and Malik Nadal Hasan, frankly. What’s in a name? In this case, I submit, EVERYTHING!!!
This, folks is your WAKE-UP CALL, in the spirit of Paul Revere.

Event contracts are the alternate name for CAT funds. That’s correct,the weasels are trading in catastrophes. If HAARP is doing what we think it is, this will be a giant SUK.
From GTJohn: “I ran 11/9 to see what happened on that date in history, since this
year’s November 9th will be 11-9-11. The two things that stand out in particular
are the following:

leading to the expulsion of the ASHKENAZIM from Jerusalem [!!!]. Note this in
context of recent discussions about The Dome Of The Rock. Is this year the year
of their final revenge???
“Rebuilding one of Jerusalem’s ruins would also have SYMBOLIC KABBALISTIC
SIGNIFICANCE. The “repairing” of an earlier destruction [The synagogue of
Yehudah he-Hasid] would represent the first step of rebuilding the entire city,

Comment File for Federal Register Release 73 FR 25669 Concept Release on the Appropriate Regulatory Treatment of Event Contracts Comments Open Date: 05/07/2008 Comments Closing Date: 07/07/
Sullivan & Cromwell LLP
Event Contract Markets
May 9, 2008
On May 1, 2008, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) issued a concept release soliciting comment on the appropriate regulatory treatment of financial agreements commonly referred to as event contracts (“Release”). Release 5493-08. The Release was published in the Federal Register on May 7, 2008, 73 Fed. Reg. 25669, and public comments must be received by July 7, 2008. In the Release, the CFTC is seeking public comment as part of a comprehensive review of the appropriate
regulatory treatment of event contracts under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA” or “Act”).
The Release lays out three broad issues identified by the CFTC in connection with event contracts:
(1) whether event contracts fall within the CFTC’s jurisdiction, (2) whether any exemptions or exclusions from the CEA should be applicable to event contracts, and (3) how the CFTC should address the potential gaming aspects of event contracts and the potential preemption of state gambling laws by the CEA. In framing these issues, the Release first summarizes the CFTC’s experience with event contracts.
Second, the Release defines event contracts and divides them into three categories: (1) contracts based on narrow commercial measures and events, (2) contracts based on environmental measures and events, and (3) contracts based on general measures and events.1
The Release goes on to set forth the statutory basis for CFTC jurisdiction over commodity futures and options and to analyze how these bases might apply to event contracts. Finally, the Release raises a series of specific questions on which the
CFTC seeks comment.
BACKGROUND
CFTC Jurisdiction
With few exceptions, the CEA grants the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over commodity futures and commodity options, including certain over-the-counter instruments. Significantly, this exclusive grant of jurisdiction preempts the application of certain state laws, including state gaming laws, to commodity futures and options subject to CFTC jurisdiction, and to transactions excluded or exempt from the CEA.
Under the CFTC’s analysis, binary event contracts, in which the parties agree to pay out based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event, closely resemble commodity option contracts, and thus may be subject to CFTC jurisdiction. One example of a binary event contract is a contract based on the outcome of the presidential election. The CFTC also notes that those event contracts that create
ongoing obligations that are linked to moving measures or levels, such as the share of votes a candidate receives, are comparable to futures contracts that may fall within CFTC jurisdiction.
The CFTC has jurisdiction over a futures or option contract only if the underlying interest constitutes a “commodity” within the meaning of the CEA. An underlying interest may be classified as a commodity under Section 1a(4) of the CEA if it is within an enumerated list of goods specified in the Act or is encompassed within a catch-all that includes those articles, goods, services, rights or interests “in which contracts for future delivery are presently or in the future dealt in.” However, Section 1a(13) of the Act excludes certain underlying interests from the statutory definition of commodity, including (1) any economic or commercial index that is based on prices, rates, values or levels not within the control of any
party to the contract and (2) any occurrence or contingency associated with a financial or economic consequence that is not within the control of the parties to the relevant transaction.
If the measures or events underlying event contracts are within the definition of a commodity, then futures or options on such underlyers could be listed for trading on regulated futures exchanges. Moreover, pursuant to the amendments to the CEA enacted under the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (“CFMA”), transactions in "excluded commodities," as defined in Section 1a(13), are not subject to
any provisions of the Act, provided that they are entered into between "eligible contract participants," as defined under the CEA, and certain other requirements are satisfied.2
Accordingly, if the measures or events underlying event contracts are within the definition of "excluded commodities," transactions involving such measures and events entered into between eligible contract participants may be excluded from the CEA. As noted, both exchange-traded futures and options and excluded over-the-counter
transactions are eligible for the preemption of state gambling laws.
Development of Event Contracts
The CFTC has encountered a variety of types of event contracts markets over the last few years. One of the better known of these markets is the Iowa Electronic Markets (“IEM”). The IEM is operated by the University of Iowa and is an electronic trading system that allows traders to enter into contracts, the payouts for which are dependent on the outcome of political contests—most notably the U.S. presidential
elections. The CFTC allows the IEM to trade such contracts in part pursuant to a no-action letter issued by the CFTC in 1993. That letter also lays out several limitations, such as number of traders and value of contracts, that are intended to limit the IEM to its stated academic purposes. While the CFTC describes the predictive and information aggregation functions of the IEM favorably in the Release, the Release cites other recent event contracts markets with skepticism, e.g., markets based on the length of celebrity marriages and the duration of wars. It was in response to these developments, as well as increased requests for guidance on the propriety of trading certain event contracts, that the CFTC issued the Release seeking comment.
CFTC ANALYSIS AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
Types of Event Contracts
In the Release, the CFTC divides event contracts into three separate categories: (1) contracts based on narrow commercial measures and events, (2) contracts based on environmental measures and events, and (3) contracts based on general measures and events. Narrow commercial measures are those that quantify the rate, value or measure of a particular commercial activity, e.g., the earnings of a particular
corporation. Narrow commercial events are those occurrences that, while not truly economic in nature, may have particularized commercial effects, such as a change in corporate officers or an acquisition. The Release describes environmental measures as those that attempt to quantify weather phenomena, such as temperature change or annual rainfall. Environmental event contracts are those based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of meteorological events, such as hurricanes or tornadoes in a specific region. General events are those events that that “do not reflect the occurrence of any commercial or environmental event,” e.g., passage of certain legislation or the decision of two celebrities to marry.
Likewise, general measures are those that do not quantify the rate, value or level of any commercial or environmental activity—for instance, the number of hours Americans sleep on average each night or the vote-share of a political candidate. The CFTC describes those event contracts that lack a clear commercial purpose as primarily serving "information aggregation" purposes; i.e., providing information as to market or public sentiment on the issues presented by the contracts.
Specific Questions
In addition to soliciting general comments, the CFTC seeks comment on a series of specific questions, which are set forth in the Release. Those questions are divided into three categories. The first category of questions addresses the CFTC’s mandate to protect the public interests, including those interests specifically enumerated in the CEA, and requests comment on the most appropriate criteria by which to
measure the potential social value and public interest considerations of event contract markets. The second category of questions relates to the CFTC’s jurisdiction, focusing on the categorization of commodity futures and options, the rationale of the CEA for regulation and the potential for event contracts to be employed for gaming or socially harmful purposes, and the appropriate tests to be employed in determining the jurisdictional status of event contracts under the Act. The final category of questions relates to issues that may arise in the legal implementation of regulation to event contracts, as well as other practical considerations, including the types of contracts that should be permitted to trade on
exchanges and the approach that should be used by the CFTC in considering exemptions or exclusions for off-exchange transactions.
1 The Release describes event contracts as financial arrangements that generally “are neither dependent on, nor do they necessarily relate to, market prices or broad-based measures of economic activity. Rather, event contracts may be based on eventualities and measures as varied as the world’s population in 2050, the results of political elections or the outcome of particular entertainment events.” Release at 1.
2 The definition of "eligible contract participant" includes, among others, individuals and entities with at least $10 million in assets.

Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 7, 2012
Mr. JONES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s testimony asserting that the United Nations and NATO have supreme authority over the actions of the United States military, words which effectively declare Congress a ceremonial relic, have prompted Congressman Walter Jones to introduce a resolution that re-affirms such behavior as an “impeachable high crime and misdemeanor” under the Constitution.
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday, Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey brazenly admitted that their authority comes not from the U.S. Constitution, but that the United States is subservient to and takes its marching orders from the United Nations and NATO, international bodies over which the American people have no democratic influence.
Panetta was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions, “We spend our time worrying about the U.N., the Arab League, NATO and too little time, in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the United States. As you go forward, will you consult with the United States Congress?”
The Defense Secretary responded “You know, our goal would be to seek international permission. And we would come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress.”
Despite Sessions’ repeated efforts to get Panetta to acknowledge that the United States Congress is supreme to the likes of NATO and the UN, Panetta exalted the power of international bodies over the US legislative branch.
“I’m really baffled by the idea that somehow an international assembly provides a legal basis for the United States military to be deployed in combat,” Sessions said. “I don’t believe it’s close to being correct. They provide no legal authority. The only legal authority that’s required to deploy the United States military is of the Congress and the president and the law and the Constitution.”
In an effort to re-affirm the fact that “the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution,” Republican Congressman Walter Jones has introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives.
The Pentagon is engaging in damage control after shocking testimony yesterday by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at a Senate Armed Services Committee congressional hearing during which it was confirmed that the U.S. government is now completely beholden to international power structures and that the legislative branch is a worthless relic.
During the hearing yesterday Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey brazenly admitted that their authority comes not from the U.S. Constitution, but that the United States is subservient to and takes its marching orders from the United Nations and NATO, international bodies over which the American people have no democratic influence.
Panetta was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions, “We spend our time worrying about the U.N., the Arab League, NATO and too little time, in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the United States. As you go forward, will you consult with the United States Congress?”

“I’m really baffled by the idea that somehow an international assembly provides a legal basis for the United States military to be deployed in combat,” Sessions said. “I don’t believe it’s close to being correct. They provide no legal authority. The only legal authority that’s required to deploy the United States military is of the Congress and the president and the law and the Constitution.”
Panetta’s assertion that he would seek “international permission” before ‘informing’ Congress about the actions of the US military provoked a firestorm of controversy, prompting the Pentagon to engage in damage control by claiming Panetta’s comments were misinterpreted.
“He was re-emphasizing the need for an international mandate. We are not ceding U.S. decision-making authority to some foreign body,” a defense official told CNN.
However, this is not the first time that the authority of international bodies has been framed as being superior to the US Congress and the Constitution.
In June last year, President Obama arrogantly expressed his hostility to the rule of law when he dismissed the need to get congressional authorization to commit the United States to a military intervention in Libya, churlishly dismissing criticism and remarking, “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question.”
Obama tried to legitimize his failure to obtain Congressional approval for military involvement by sending a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner in which he said the military assault was “authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council.”
Panetta’s testimony that the US looks to obtain “international permission” before it acts, allied with Obama citing the UN as the supreme authority while trashing the power of Congress, prove that the United States has ceded control over its own affairs to unelected international bureaucrats, just as the countries of the European Union have done likewise.
Attorney General Eric Holder, the top “legal” voice of the US regime, argued to Northwestern University law students that the US Constitution is no limit to the regime dictatorially assassinating Americans. This follows regime arguments to seize and “disappear” any person in opposition to regime dictates as “terrorist supporters,” and extracting their confessions with controlled drowning (euphemistically “waterboarding”), found by all US and international courts as torture. The regime’s followers in Congress voted for legislation (2006 Military Commissions Act, 2012 NDAA) that these dictates are consistent with the US Constitution.
