http://rense.com/general80/priv.htm Martial-Law Enforcement Has Been Privatized! Jim Kirwan 2-8-8 "Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does-and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. But there may be more to it than that. One business executive, who showed me his InfraGard card, told me they have permission to "shoot to kill" in the event of martial law. InfraGard is "a child of the FBI," says Michael Hershman, the chairman of the advisory board of the InfraGard National Members Alliance and CEO of the Fairfax Group, an international consulting firm."(1) This ad hoc spinoff created by the FBI now has given its step-child permission to "shoot to kill" ordinary people based on insider- classified information. It used to be illegal to grant permission to anyone to simply murder people; threat or no threat: what happened to this legal technicality is an indication of just how far the USA has actually fallen. No agency of this government has ever been given a blanket right to shoot-to-kill anyone-Robert Mueller, another of the flake's that were in charge on 911 needs to be fired before this time next week- and a full investigation of all this garbage needs to happen, before live cameras in congress, within the week. (2) The reason we supposedly had a government was to prevent stuff like this from becoming standard-practice. But if this stands then it means that every American needs to begin to carry a weapon to defend themselves (which was why the 2nd Amendment was created), to defend him or herself against this kind of Outlawed cowboy mentality, on the part of a criminal government, or any of their 'selected' surrogates! The Decider has weakened the requirements for 'declaring Martial Law' to the point that it is simply whatever "he" might think is necessary; all laws to the contrary be damned. But at least until now Martial Law had to go through the US Chain-of-Command. Now we learn that this secret and relatively new private- partnership between the Corporatocracy & the FBI will allow the ultra-right wing of business to actually kill people, without charges, or an arrest or even the possibility of a trial ‹ just a- bullet-to-the-head and that's it! This goes well with the way the country is being run today, from the top down its now shoot first and worry later-if at all! The American public has a major blind spot. Our citizens have not ever had to experience war here on this soil. Consequently war for far too many is nothing but a video-game, something that happens only to others somewhere else. This "lack of first hand knowledge" exposes the American public to a degree of naïveté that is almost unique around the planet. In the past when a leader was selected it was always preferable, but not mandatory, to choose a man with military experience. The reason was as obvious as what some see as the need for both a formal and an informal education (a life in the real world). The absence of first hand experience at the top of this government has directly led to national and international chaos, and has resulted in the furthest thing from anything remotely related to leadership that any nation could have had the misfortune of living through. WAR and all of its associated practices, torture, maiming and murder are now affecting roughly 90% of the civilians and only 10 to 12% of the actual enemy forces in our designated war-zones. The horrors that any population caught up in a war must live through to survive, remain with the victims for a lifetime. And those who know the true face of WAR really do place 'WAR' as the very last thing to even think about, much less actually enter into. The American-Israeli leadership of the globe today has reversed that axiom: WAR is their first answer to every problem, which is why there is so much more of it than there was before. And we have been brutal beyond all the norms expected from a nation such as ours. Now we have added "Outlaw" to the other names that we are known by around the world, because we no longer have any laws for those that say they lead us ‹ and that is the definition of a Police-State ‹ wherein only the thugs have privileges, and everything is allowable with a wink and a nod, if you 'know' the right people! When the government itself refuses to obey the laws-such as the Supreme Court did on 12-12-2000, when they appointed Bush to the White House, even before he took the oath Bush was already criminal. There was no longer a Supreme Court to which any appeal could be valid either then or now, because they violated their sworn oaths and created this illegal presidency thereby becoming Outlaws themselves ‹ yet no one spoke against them! Where were all those high-priced lawyers then or all the Constitutional Scholars now, still within their ivory towers, or imprisoned in their chicken-little minds? The public had no idea of what had happened then, and apparently they still don't-will it take losing numbers of people to bullets-in-the-dark from the Corporatocracy to finally wake the sleeping herd? Or is it really far too late already! Hey we've outsourced war itself with mercenaries, so why not use those same Corporate Powers that wanted all these wars in the first place to carry out the crime of shutting down what remains of any dissent at home as well. Finally there is this: Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics: * 29 have been accused of spousal abuse * 7 have been arrested for fraud * 19 have been accused of writing bad checks * 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses * 3 have done time for assault * 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit * 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges * 8 have been arrested for shoplifting * 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits * 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year... The above company does exist it is called the 535 members of The Congress of the United States of America This is conclusive proof positive of just how dumb the people of these Dis-United States have become ‹ do you really think these cretins can or will save you ‹ from anything like what's happening now? •••@••.••• 1) Exclusive: The FBI Deputizes Business http://www.progressive.org/mag_rothschild0308 2) InfraGard: http://www.infragard.net/ MainPage http://www.rense.com -- -------------------------------------------------------- newslog archives: http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/?lists=newslog Escaping the Matrix: http://escapingthematrix.org/ cyberjournal: http://cyberjournal.org The Phoenix Project: http://www.wakingthephoenix.org/ rkm blog: "How We the People can change the world": http://governourselves.blogspot.com/ The Post-Bush Regime: A Prognosis http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=7693 Community Democracy Framework: http://cyberjournal.org/DemocracyFramework.html Moderator: •••@••.••• (comments welcome)
