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.

Author: Brian D. Hill

Ref # is the reference number of a valid source and quoted reference located below the article.

After my investigation of Righthaven, Stephens Media, and WEHCO Media, I now have certifiable proof and evidence to back up my suspicions that Righthaven is really a strong-arm law firm by a super rich, political influential, and law breaking Stephens Family to target Freedom of Speech. I found out that Righthaven is in business partnership with a multi-billion dollar family that has ownership and influence over the nations weekly news papers (Ref 8, Ref 5, Ref 1), Cable TV systems (Ref 8), operated one of the country’s largest outdoor advertising businesses with 13,000 billboards (Ref 8), has also invested in Natural Gas and Oil companies (Ref 9), and also has power and influence over political including Federal elections over both political parties (Ref 2).

So the very people that are behind the law firm Righthaven’s (LLC) frivolous lawsuits, mostly filed against political sites and bloggers (Ref 10), are connected with a very wealthy family, known as the Stephens Group, also working under Stephens Media (Ref 9), and they have the money and power to influence Politics on the Federal Level, and a 1993 Fed Inquiry reported by the NYTimes (Ref 2, Ref 3, Ref 4, Ref 11) brought out that they had influence in campaign money for Presidential Administrations.

Stephens Group (Ref 3, Ref 4) had also violatedthe Glass Stegall Act a 1933 Federal law, and the family members and family trusts that control the brokerage firm held about two third of stock in the Stuttgart bank. Stephens Media also had a joint venture with WEHCO Media (Ref 1) and a newspaper partnership with Medianews and Gannett. All three newspaper organizations WEHCO Media, Stephens Media, and WEHCO Media are all affiliated with Righthaven to sue bloggers and non profit entities such as care2 and others. So there’s no doubt that Stephens Group and Stephens Media are one of the most powerful, most influential in American politics, most rich in America (Mutli-billionaire wise), and violated laws and somehow are still working in America and possibly the world.

Also many bloggers believe that since that they have settled out of court, and rid their sites of infringing content that they are safe from a court trial and domain seizure by Righthaven but that is not the case because they may be future targets again under Righthaven since Stephens Media keeps buying more newspapers and may one day sue bloggers over Associated Press quotations and maybe even Reuters quotes.

So Righthaven may be the strong arm of Stephens Inc. under a guise to silence Free Speech and Free Press so that they can continue to influence and control politics and who gets elected as President of the United States of America and is a cause for concern. No super rich family should ever control who gets elected as President or even in the House of Representatives or even our Senate of these United States. It’s basically common sense that political elections needs to be a open field and not dictated by Billionaire families and bankers.

Ref 6. Quoted from Wikipedia:

The company was formerly called Donrey Media Group, which was founded by Arkansas media mogul Donald W. Reynolds and based in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Reynolds died in 1993. The company was then sold to the Stephens family of Arkansas, best known for their investment banking business Stephens Inc. in Little Rock.

Ref 7. Quoted from WEHCO Media Inc.:

In the 1960’s, Walter Sr. wanted to invest in the cable television business.

Ref 8. Quoted from Answers.com:

After his friend Roy Park converted his newspaper company, Park Communications, to public ownership in 1983, Reynolds stood as the only sole owner of a major newspaper chain in the United States. He owned seven homes by the mid-1980s, including his primary residence on the outskirts of Las Vegas, a $20 million, 80-acre estate. Donrey Media, after decades of expansion, owned 54 daily newspapers in 15 states, including the company’s flagship newspaper property, the 110,000-circulation Las Vegas Review-Journal. The company also owned numerous weekly newspapers, cable systems with nearly 100,000 subscribers, seven radio stations, a television station in Reno, Nevada, and operated one of the country’s largest outdoor advertising businesses with 13,000 billboards. The company was based in Las Vegas, but maintained its financial headquarters in Fort Smith, Arkansas. By the time Reynolds celebrated his 80th birthday in 1986, Donrey Media was generating roughly $300 million in annual revenue, contributing to Reynolds’s personal net worth of nearly $1 billion.

There are probably even more political sites I have missed but these are all I can find under such short time.

Ref 11. Quote from NYTimes then Rense.com proves that the Stephens Inc. group had influence on both the Left and the Right of the political spectrum:

But never has the nexus between the Stephenses and Washington been as tight as it is now. No group raised more money for the nascent Clinton Presidential campaign.

The Bahrain deal was brokered by David Edwards, a close pal to Bill Clinton and a former employee of Stephens Inc. Shortly after Bush sold his stock

George W. Bush, however, worked wonders for Harken Energy Corp. before the stock collapse. Using the Bush family name, he managed to bring much-needed capital investment to the struggling firm. George W. Bush traveled to Little Rock, AR, to attend a meeting with Jackson Stephens – a powerful Arkansas tycoon who help bankroll the state campaigns of young Bill Clinton. He first gained political prominence as a fund-raiser for President Jimmy Carter. Stephens was also deeply involved in the BCCI scandal by helping the corrupt bank take control of First American Bank in Washington, DC.

Jack Stephens didn’t need an introduction to young George W. Bush. Mary Anne Stephens, his wife, managed Vice President George Bush’s 1988 presidential campaign in Arkansas. Stephens Inc., the well connected brokerage firm owned by Jack Stephens, donated $100,000 to a Bush campaign fundraising dinner in 1991. When George W. Bush won the contested Florida election in 2000, Jack Stephens made a substantial contribution to the Bush inauguration. Recently, former President Bush played golf on April 11, 2001, with Jack Stephens at the Jack Stephens Youth Golf Academy in Little Rock. The former president told Stephens, “Jack, we love you and we are very, very grateful for what you have done.”

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.

Climate change really equal Global Governance. The New World Order they have been talking about for so long is about to be given its foundation stone. Its time for us as Australian’s to stand and not let this happen. Its time to tell Prime Minister Kevin Rudd that by signing the Copenhagen Treaty you are committing High Treason and should be punished accordingly. We can stand up and stop this while there is still time.

Please watch this Documentary and open your eyes to see who really controls the world’s economies and governments.

You take on the elite secret powers, dont follow their wishes, expose them and the outcome is you will be removed.

Kevin Rudd to annnouce next Wednesday according to article.

From Article:
“A civilian corps manned by everyday Australians to help out in war zones and natural disasters is set to be announced by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in Perth on Wednesday.

Mr Rudd is expected to announce the civilian corps among nine initiatives at a community cabinet meeting in the West Australian city.

As reported in The West Australian newspaper, the regional response strategy would call on professionals and public servants. They would include defence reservists from local, state and federal governments, as well as non-government workers.”

Wow, will this force also have the powers to arrest and detain citizens? Be run like a National Guard? Have similar powers to Department of Homeland Security personal? Turn us into a Police State if we dont support Government Policy or a reduction in our freedoms and liberty.

Let it be known that any legislation that reduce our liberties in the name of freedom I will not support. Im sick to death of ‘Double talk’ from our Government.

Only time will tell. One to keep an eye on.
