‘Nothing More Impeachable' Than War Without Authorization, Says Constitutional Scholar (w/Video): "Louis Fisher, a scholar in residence at the Constitution Project who served for 40 years as a constitutional law expert at the Library of Congress, says Americans and members of Congress should understand that President Barack Obama committed a “very grave offense” against the Constitution in taking military action in Libya without congressional authorization.
“I am not going to recommend that the House Judiciary Committee hold impeachment hearings, but I would like members of Congress and the public to say that nothing would be more impeachable than a President who takes the country to war without coming to Congress, who does it unilaterally,” Fisher told CNSNews.com’s Online With Terry Jeffrey.
“So, I would like people to be educated, including members of Congress, to be educated that that is a very grave offense,” said Fisher.
On March 19, President Barack Obama ordered the U.S. military to take actions against the Libyan regime of Muammar Gadhafi.
The day before that, Obama had given a speech stating that a resolution passed by the U.N. Security Council on the previous day that authorized the use of military force in Libya would justify U.S. action there."

Radical Islam spreading in US prisons: lawmakers
Radical Islam spreading in US prisons: lawmakers: "US prisons are becoming a hotbed for indoctrinating inmates and turning them into radical Muslims, US lawmakers were told Wednesday in the second of a series of controversial hearings. 'Despite appearances, prison walls are porous. Outside influences access those on the inside, and inmates reach from the inside out,' Patrick Dunleavy, a retired New York prison inspector, told US lawmakers.
'Individuals and groups that subscribe to radical Islamic ideology have made sustained efforts to target inmates for indoctrination.'

So Is Obama a War Criminal Now, Or What?
So Is Obama a War Criminal Now, Or What?: "The Obama Administration says the War Powers Act doesn't apply to Libya because bombing and blowing up a country until its leader is deposed doesn't constitute engaging in 'hostilities.'
Somewhere in the afterlife George Orwell is either blushing, or this was the tipping point that finally gave him his wings.
I don't need to tell anyone that if Obama were a Republican Cindy Sheehan would be staging topless protests in front of the White House right now. Let that sink in for a second.....let me rephrase that.....clean the vomit off your screen, and let that sink in for a second.
Liberals in this country are preparing to line a billion dollar warchest so they can go to battle for their guy against a challenger that comes from 'the party of the rich.' At this point we all can agree that the real and only reason he won the Nobel Peace Prize was that the air he exhaled brought peace to second hand smoke addicts.
Now he engages in a military conflict (some are even willing to call it a war) in the real sense of the term 'unilaterally.' He thumbs his nose at Congress over it so hard so hard that his boogers are now victims of friendly fire, and liberals who think Bush should be strung up for Iraq will think it's the end of the world if this guy doesn't get reelected."

So many of the words and warnings delivered by America‘s Founding Fathers are appropriate for today. Consider this sage counsel from America’s first and greatest President, George Washington: “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” I was reminded of these words when I read the following report out of the State of Indiana.
“Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court [ISC] ruled Thursday [May 12, 2011] that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.
“In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry.”

Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely |
In an interview today with Greg Corombos for WND, Vallely, who previously has expressed concerns about the U.S. Constitution and whether the Obama administration is in violation, said, "His actual birth certificate has never been found in Hawaii nor released from Hawaii hospital there, Kapiolani Hospital there, if it in fact did exist."
"We've had 3 CIA agents retired and some of their analytical associates look at it and all came to the same conclusion that even the long-form was a forged document," Vallely said.

Despite the corporate-driven hubbub surrounding the inevitability of “the cloud” replacing personal hard drives as the pre-eminent storage center for all web content, this system represents another dangerous trojan horse for the establishment to complete their agenda to regulate and shut down the free Internet.
Apple, Google and Amazon amongst other tech giants have all jumped on board with “the cloud,” a remote server network that allows users to store their data without using hard drives.
“It’s all part of a generational trend away from owning physical media content and towards renting media content from the computing universal cloud,” reports Investmentu.com.

Former American radical Bill Ayers again denied access to Canada
Former American radical Bill Ayers again denied access to Canada: "Former American radical Bill Ayers has once again been barred from entering Canada.
Mr. Ayers was scheduled to deliver a keynote address at the Worldview Conference on Media and Higher Education this Thursday in Toronto. Conference organizers say Mr. Ayer’s refused entry should “should raise red flags for citizens concerned with free and open debate.”
“Bill Ayers is a respected academic, and in no way a threat to the peace and security of Canada. There is no reason why he should be kept out,” said Mark Langer, President of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), who is hosting the event.
Mr. Ayers was barred from entering Canada in 2009 after touching down at Toronto City Centre Airport. At the time, he said he had entered Canada dozens of time before without incident."

Lawmakers sue President Obama over Libya
Lawmakers sue President Obama over Libya: "A bipartisan group of House members announced on Wednesday that it is filing a lawsuit charging that President Obama made an illegal end-run around Congress when he approved U.S military action against Libya.
“With regard to the war in Libya, we believe that the law was violated. We have asked the courts to move to protect the American people from the results of these illegal policies,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who led the 10-member anti-war coalition with Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.).
The White House is expected on Wednesday to deliver to Congress a much-anticipated report detailing military activity in Libya.
According to Kucinich, the suit will challenge the Obama administration’s “circumvention of Congress and its use of international organizations such as the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to authorize the use of military force abroad.”"

Opposing view: Troops already sacrificed for health care: "Response to Recent USA TODAY Editorial: Military's Tricare benefits are too sweet a deal
Many seeking defense budget cuts call for large health fee hikes for retired military families. They say that military fees should be more like civilians' and that retired servicemembers with access to civilian care should forfeit military coverage.
The Military Officers Association of America isn't opposed to military health fee increases. We think the 13% increase proposed by the House Armed Services Committee for 2012 is reasonable.
But we also assert, as the committee does, that the law should acknowledge that career servicemembers have already pre-paid very large premiums for their health care in retirement — through decades of service and sacrifice — over and above what they pay in cash. In consideration of that heavy premium, the committee could limit future fee growth to the percentage growth in military retired pay ."

At that time, officials in Hawaii's health department and governor's office refused to provide confirmation to WND that the image released by the White House accurately represented the birth documentation in the state's custody.

TSA “Security Exercise” Covers 3 States, 5000 Miles
TSA “Security Exercise” Covers 3 States, 5000 Miles: "If you’re still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR “security exercise” involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America.
The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive “security exercise” throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
“The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams,” reports the Marietta Times."

"We are told by cops – and the courts – that the rapidly metastasizing police state is “for our safety” (always for our safety) and that we shouldn’t worry if we’ve got nothing to hide – yet when police are on the receiving end of the same tactics they so urgently and even turgidly use against us, they tend not to like it so much.
Video and audio recording of their doings, for example.
Cops get annoyed when we video them but they video us routinely – even when we haven’t done anything illegal. For example, random “safety” checks. You’re on Candid Camera, like it or not. Cop Kiosks with those insect eye-looking bulbous cameras that you see on the ceiling at Wal Mart (and everywhere else) are sprouting up all over the country, especially in urban areas. That’s ok. After all, if you’ve got nothing to hide, what are you worried about? Isn’t that what we’re constantly told?
We – the Commons – are not entitled to privacy when in public. But they – the New American equivalent of yesterday’s Sicherheitsdeinst or NKVD – are entitled to privacy – secrecy, even – as they perform their “public” duties."

Why Even an Anarchist Should Vote for Ron�Paul by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
Why Even an Anarchist Should Vote for Ron�Paul by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.:
"I know a lot of people who, rightly appalled at the immoral political system we live under, conclude that it would be morally wrong to vote, or at least that they themselves will not do so, because they would thereby be consenting to the system. This includes voting for Ron Paul.
I think this is a mistake for two reasons.
(1) If you were stuck in a prison camp, and the guards let you vote on whether you were to have gruel or prime rib for dinner, would you be “consenting to the system” to vote for prime rib, or would you simply be doing the best you could under the circumstances to improve your material condition? (I owe this argument to someone but can’t remember where I got it from. Roderick Long, maybe?)
(2) Many Americans won’t consider even listening to a point of view"

Hunt for Man Who Violated Parole, Fired at Police Turns into Domestic Terror Propaganda: "Once again, the government and the corporate media are busy at work trying to portray anti-government activists as murderous terrorists.

“David Burgert, 47, a former head of a violent anti-government militia group, traded gunfire with Missoula County deputies along a logging trail after a slow speed car chase near Lolo, Mont., on Sunday, cops said.”
According to the FBI, the former Marine and Project 7, a Montana militia, plotted to assassinate local officials, kill cops and ultimately topple the government.

The entire 9/11 field of inquiry has been vilified, poisoned over the years by ridicule, sometimes fantastic conspiracy mongering, and fearfulness by journalists of approaching the material, lest they be branded as irresponsible or some kind of conspiracy freak. As a result, little work has been done to investigate, except by a small group of people, some of whom have raised some real questions …

On Monday the council voted 6-1 on a third and final reading to expand the ordinance to include more apartment buildings. In the days leading up to the vote, they received hundreds of phone calls and e-mails from people all over the country from people upset about the issue.
Some calls came in the middle of the night. Some writers threatened them and called them scumbags, or worse.
The issue had blown up on the Internet in recent days with message boards, primarily those tilting toward conservative and tea party viewpoints, spreading the story nationwide."
