<p>Congressman Jones introduces bill that would subject Panetta &amp; Obama to impeachment</p>
<p><strong>Paul Joseph Watson</strong><br />
Infowars.com<br />
Thursday, March 8, 2012</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zNwOeyuG84">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zNwOeyuG84</a></p>
<p align="left">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.</p>
<p>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?”</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>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,” <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.CON.RES.107:">Republican Congressman Walter Jones has introduced a resolution </a>in the House of Representatives.</p>
<p>The full text reads;</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>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.</p></blockquote>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Despite the Pentagon’s efforts to claim that Panetta’s words <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/07/politics/panetta-u-s-intervention-syria/index.html">were misinterpreted</a>, 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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-on-libya-i-dont-even-have-to-get-to-the-constitutional-question.html">In June last year</a>, 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.”</p>
<p>Obama tried to legitimize his failure to obtain Congressional approval for military involvement by<a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2011/mar/22/obama-boehner-libya/">sending a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner</a> in which he said the military assault was “authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council.”</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Used Under Permission from Brian D. Hill of uswgo.com</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning on the way to work I caught Ryde Councils contractor WSN Environmental Solutions in action going through people bins collecting data on the contents.</p>
<p>The contractor scans the RFID chip. Checks what items are inside the bins and makes notes.</p>
<p>It is only a matter of time and I can see them fining people if they have put what they consider to be recyceable material in the main waste bin.</p>

<p>Council&#8217;s these the days are now going to great lengths to insure that we are recycling and doing the right thing with our waste. The problem I have is the lengths that some Council&#8217;s are taking to ensure we comply with their recycling Policies.  <a href="http://www.ti.com/rfid/shtml/rfid.shtml">TI-RFid</a> has now been inplmented in Ryde and Randwick councils; see the SMH article on <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/device-ensures-residents-chip-in/2008/04/13/1208024990544.html">Tracking device on bins ensures residents chip in</a>. This will be used to measure the weight of bins, time of collection of bins.</p>
<p>&#8220;But the councils insist they are not spying on their residents&#8217; waste habits, or planning to use the technology to increase waste levies in the future.</p>
<p>They say they are using the data to help identify areas where people are not recycling enough.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Bin weight data will help identify average bin weights by type and suburb. This information will also be used to develop waste education material,&#8221; a Randwick City Council spokeswoman, Alexandra Power, said.&#8221;</p>
<p>What this shows is that council&#8217;s believe they need to monitor their residents as they can not trust them to do the right thing. This could show that Council&#8217;s are trying to measure usage with the aim to charge more on the customer if their waste is high. Well only time will tell. Will be interesting to watch its progress and whether other waste services and Council&#8217;s will adopt similar strategies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God help us all. The news has been leaked that <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=45515">OOXML ECMA 376/ISO/IEC DIS 29500</a> is now a standard as reported by <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSL0179716920080401?pageNumber=1&amp;virtualBrandChannel=0">Reuters</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://dot.kde.org/1207000153/">KDE</a> on their blog did an April fools joke yesterday declaring that the OOXML is a standard and supported it after receiving a annoymous donation of $10,000 from a North American Company. The problem is the joke has turned into a nightmare, as the news, which was due to be released on Wednesday has been leaked.</p>
<p>OOXML is a standard and we now must show everyone that it is not a standard to even touch. Let alone let your Grandmother or pet dog look at. It will be interesting to see how it is modified and and how the standard improves and evolves into something remotely interoperable within Microsoft&#8217;s own product range formats, let alone other platforms.</p>
<p>Well I have made up my mind. As for me and my house will stick with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument">ODF</a>.</p>
