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 full text reads;

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.

Under the terms of Jones’ resolution, both Panetta and Obama would be subject to impeachment for abusing their power and violating the Constitution in disregarding the authority of Congress and placing a foreign power above its jurisdiction.

Despite the Pentagon’s efforts to claim that Panetta’s words were misinterpreted, the Obama administration itself has routinely cited the authority of the United Nations in relation to last year’s invasion of Libya, which was conducted without approval from Congress.

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 bysending 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.”

In boldly asserting the authority of international powers over and above the legislative branch, Panetta and Obama are openly declaring that they no longer represent the American people and instead are water carriers for a global dictatorship that has usurped the sovereignty of the United States.

The Documentary idea started around June of 2011 during the Martinsville Virginia Civil War Reenactment which Brian got very good quality footage with his new HD Quality digital camera. Whenever he saw that he thought he should do a documentary but what Kind? A documentary that exposes the world elite including the Bushes, Rockefellers, and Rothschilds which even financed both sides of the civil war. Brian wanted a big documentary film to expose the big elite, the Bilderberg criminals that has just about robbed America and countries throughout the world. It is through evidence found and it is Brian’s big belief that the civil war was a power grab by the Rothschilds to have the Federal Government abort states rights under the guise of ending slavery of the African Americans. Now that the government has been centralized now it is being consolidated just like during the civil war, to merge all nations states on earth to form the cores of World Government, the New World Order. The Documentary is to expose even further the elites agenda which they thought they could hide from people like Brian D. Hill of USWGO. Brian has also gone on the record since he was sued by Righthaven LLC in January 2011, to fight against Righthaven’s copyright war, done research on their backers Stephens the billionaire investment banker family, and gone on the record to expose Big Medias copyright war under the guise of protecting artists copyrights but in reality it is actually a plot to end the Alternative Media Across the Internet, to bring Chinese style censorship Across the Internet, and bring a legitimacy to corporations stealing small peoples material while they claim Copyright Infringement over every little thing the poor puts together. Brian and all of his works has been in the NYTimes Newspaper, International Herald Tribune, WXII12, FOX8, Infowars, Associated Press (Even though my story there got censored due to backstage pressure from some of Righthaven’s allies) GCNLive, ActivistPost, We Are Change, and even got his organization officially recognized as a organization opposing the Felony Streaming Act.

Don’t be deceived Australians, we are further along in some regards regarding our freedoms, but there is still an opportunity to stop it.

Come December 2009 the Australian Federal Government will be hoping to go to the United Nations Copenhagen Treaty to sign away our National sovereignty, to non-elected, non-government officials, who will have the power to take over our country in the name of climate change. Private Bankers who care nothing for our existence. The same people who caused and created the Global Financial crisis, and are now being given all the money from Governments to pocket.

Its time for us as Australian’s to stand and not let this happen.

We can stand up and stop this while there is still time.
