Rand Paul's Filibuster - Some Powerful Statements against Obama. Updated - As he says them.

Something to think about.

Why is Rand Paul the only one in D.C. who has shown concern about Obama being able to murder U.S. citizens on U.S. soil without due process and thus wiping out our 5th amendment.   Except for a few other Senators that have questions for Paul, there is silence about Obama and his drones.

Considering the majority voted for the NDAA, it is not a surprise.  Obviously this was planned for drone murders in the U.S. by Obama when the NDAA was conceived.  Remember Obama is the one who required that U.S. citizens in the U.S. be part of the wording of NDAA.  Video is at the bottom of that fact being revealed.

Think about that.

I am watching Rand Paul and his filibuster and listening to what he is saying.

First of all, I stopped having respect for Rand when he was a traitor to his father and endorsed Romney last year.

What Rand is saying right now is very powerful.  What he is actually saying is grounds for impeachment against Obama.  Yet, is anyone really listening?

Why hasn't those in the Senate and Congress begun articles of Impeachment against Obama.

Rand is saying Obama would be dangerous with the rights to make decisions in private of who he is going to target and kill with drones.

Some of the bullet points of important information,  I have written fast as he said them, once I began listening.


Paul says - Obama has ignored the constitutional court decisions against him. This appointments when Obama declared Senate out of session when it still was - was struck down by the court. But Obama has ignored it and the appointments are still in place.

Rand saying Obama has shown not going by the constitution and the power of drone killings in the U.S. will be in his hands when he doesn't pay attention to the constitution?
Says U.S. citizens being killed without due process.

Obama can secretly decide who to kill and there is no process. Does that mean people who were at a Liberty meeting and going to a Libertarian meeting and hate their government and are vocal about it, but they are peaceful - can Obama use a drone against them because he feels they are a threat.

Will Obama release the names of those he is going to target before he kills them? Does the 5th amendment apply to anyone anymore.

Will Obama publicly or secretly charge people? Will people have a chance to prove their innocence? Is everyone guilty now and not innocent in the eyes of Obama?

What is happening is bigger than the people, we will lose the constitution if this is allowed. 

Sen Moran from Kansas asked awesome questions:  If this is allowed will we even have any more of constitution left?  Is the constitution there to protect the people and their liberties?  

6:51 pm Rand Paul has read some resolutions for the Senate about stopping Obama and his use of drones in the U.S. 


6:58 pm Asking if people have the Bill of Rights anymore?  Or there exceptions to the bill of Rights?

What is the standard for killing Americans in America?

War is a perpetual machine that is never ending, just as the Iraq war supposedly ended years ago, but it is actually still going on.  There is no stop to this war on terror. 

7:04 Pm - Could political beliefs be a reason for drone strikes?  Those who support third party candidates, as they are listed as combatants due to their political beliefs. 

7:08 - Reading a resolution and if Senate votes on it then the Brennan nomination vote can go through and he would stop the filibuster.  

Resolution:

The Use of drones to execute American Citizens on American soil, violates the Constitution of the United States.  Detailed legal reasoning from Obama for lethal force against U.S. citizens.  



7:10 pm Durbin (Dem) objected to the resolution so it will not be voted on. 

7:14 pm - Obama has escalated the drone killing program. 

7:24 - Obama needs to understand that the Constitution still applies to the U.S. citizens. 

7:25 pm - Cruz - reading Tweets about Rand Paul standing up for the American People.

Cruz making Powerful Statements now after reading tweets:  Americans are frustrated that their elected officials are not standing up for their rights and Constitution!  

7:36 Paul says he would be willing to end the filibuster if Obama would simply come out and say that he would not kill non-combant Americans and acknowledge their power is not unlimited. 

Obama needs to just answer the question that he will not pick and choose who the 5th amendment applies to, that is applies to every citizen.

So much is being said, I believe every single U.S. citizen should be made to listen to these hours of information!  It is our country!

I am finding out that our country is so far gone down the illegal road that it needs to be completely reformed!  All of the elected officials except for a few, Paul, etc need to be taken out of office.  We need a NEW government!  We need our  government once more that is By the People and FOR the people!  This government is not!  

A President with a Nobel Peace Prize wants to be able to MURDER U.S. Citizens at his will and when he wants in the U.S.!  How bizarre is that?!


10:47 PM - Sen Cruz has just revealed that George Bush tried to get the State Court of Texas to submit to the "World Court" of the UN.  regarding a case and be subjected to the World Court.  He just said Bush attempted to give away the sovereignty of the U.S. courts to the World court.  The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. 
I will continue to add points as they are said and are highly important.

Senator Levin revealed - It was Obama who required the Indefinite Detainment Bill INCLUDE U.S. Citizens as part of the wording!

UPDATE 12/16/11 - Senator Graham says the U.S. has the right to kill U.S. Citizens too.

Well now we know, for those who have been holding out "hope" that Obama will veto the 1031 Indefinite Detainment Bill against holding U.S. Citizens without rights to a trial or lawyer or charges for the rest of their lives.... It was Obama who required the bill have the language of U.S. Citizens being held without rights in the bill!  The only reason he would veto it, is because it does not give him the absolute power as he wants!

Obama wants absolute Dictatorial Powers and the Senate gave it to him?  I posted some of his Lies during his campaign.  Especially the ones about the Rights of the People, closing Gitmo and standing up for the Constitution.



Here is Senator Levin on the floor of the Senate revealing it was Obama himself who Demanded U.S. Citizens be part of the Indefinite Detainment Bill!

Please send this video to your State Representatives, especially those Republican held states - maybe they will have morals and protect their state citizens from this.  I know.... it is doubtful - but we still have to try, in my opinion.

Video of Levin on Senate floor revealing it was Obama who demanded U.S. Citizens be part of the language of the Indefinite Detention in 1031 Bill:

Update 12/14/11 - I hope someone copied this video - because it has been removed from Youtube now.  It is no longer available - But I am leaving it on the page.

Update - 12/14/11 2:25 PM - here is the video once more - it is back up but new - the count is only at 2567 right now. So send it out and lets see if youtube holds the counter back as they did the other one taken down. 

UPDATE - 1/9/12 - Youtube also took down this video of Levin saying Obama required U.S. citizens to be part of the bill.  It is now two accounts youtube has taken down that had the video.  Seems some with "power" are causing the video to disappear.   

Update - 1/9/12 - I found another account has the video now - lets see how long this one stays up.



Added - 12/12/11 - Funny the number of views has not changed since I put this video on. Yet What Really Happened, Rense, Alex Jones, David Icke and numerous other sites have this video featured. Thousands have viewed it since the morning of 12/11/11 and youtube is not allowing the counter to count them? All I can say is keep this video going, even though it is being hidden how many have actually seen it. On 12/11/11 the counter was at 32140 when inserted on the blog and it is still that number.

Update - Considering I am not someone who likes to just "give up" I have now written all of my State representatives in Tennessee for the 3rd time about the Indefinite Detainment of U.S. Citizens. Here is my email I just now sent out to all of them:

Subject: Senate Floor - Obama requiring U.S. Citizens wording for indefinite detainment


http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PLiKvSz_wX8#at=66

Please see the video of Carl Levin on the Senate floor revealing it was President Obama who required that the wording of U.S. citizens be part of the indefinite detainment bill. I have written two other emails about this to you.

Again I am asking that the State of Tennessee, PLEASE pass a bill that will not allow the U.S. Federal Government and military to do renditions/take/arrest any U.S. Citizen/Tennessee citizen as per the Constitution of the United States that gives U.S. Citizens rights.

This would be the most important bill the State of Tennessee would ever pass in my opinion. It would show that the State of Tennessee stands up for it's state citizens and stands up for the Constitution of the United States.

We the Citizens of the United States should have the most basic rights as written in our bill of rights!

Are you going to let President Obama and the Washington D.C. officials take away those basic rights for the U.S./Tennessee Citizens?

As I wrote in my very first email to you any law passed by the Federal government that does not adhere to the Constitution of the United States, then the State law banning that unconstitutional law is Superior.

I am asking all of you, to please stand up for those people that elected you. Please be "For the People" State of Tennessee Government.

We are at a cross road. Either the U.S. becomes a place that the citizens have no rights what so ever and the U.S. have worse human rights than many other countries in the world, or the U.S. still stands tall with human rights.

I believe it is going to be up to all the individual State Elected officials now to stand up for their citizens and stand up for the Constitution.

Needless to say there is very little time to act upon this.

Sincerely,
Sherrie




Added 12/11/11 - 4:12 PM est - The CONgress reads the Constitution of the United States on their first day in office. What happened? Especially considering what Boehner said:

We always hear members of Congress talking about swearing an oath to represent their constituents, when in reality the only oath we take is to the Constitution," explained newly-minted Speaker John Boehner to the Post.

So what has happened, where is their oath to the Constitution?  As I see it, we the people could then get all of them for Treason to the Constitution and the U.S. Citizens!

UPDATE - VIDEO to pass around to wake people up. It has the Levin clip in it and Obama campaigning about Human Rights

Every Senator or Government Official who Votes For the "U.S. Battlefield" bill to detain U.S. Citizens without Trial or Rights WILL BE COMMITTING TREASON - In My Opinion!



Update 12/2/11 - Solution to the Treason

UPDATE - 11/29/11 - 5:15PM EST -  The Senate voted FOR THE BILL!  THEY HAVE COMMITTED TREASON AND THEY ARE NOW THE TERRORIST AGAINST THE U.S. PEOPLE!


UPDATE 11/30/11 - SIGN THE PETITION TO IMPEACH ALL THE SENATORS WHO COMMITTED TREASON AGAINST THE U.S. PEOPLE AND THE CONSTITUTION! 

UPDATE **** C-SPAN has it live right now on T.V. 4:17 Pm est  ***

Al Franken is speaking saying "This is not the way to do it - he does not support the bill and he supports Udall's amendment and co-sponsored it taking out the detention of U.S. citizens. ****

I know I turned it on late, it seems that is all they are doing on the floor now, no one else is getting up to speak and they have cut to music.  I do not know who else got up for or against the bill at this time.

I found this - 
http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/195889-sens-paul-mccain-clash-over-terrorist-detainee-amendment-
Seems McCain has clashed with others over the bill on the floor today.

Portion from above - Senate floor today:

I don't think it necessarily follows I am arguing of the release of prisoners,” Paul said.  “I am simply arguing that particularly American citizens should not be sent to a foreign prison without due process.” 

But McCain ended the conversation by suggesting the junior senator from Kentucky did not understand the gravity of the danger the U.S. faces from terrorism. 

"An individual, no matter who they are, if they pose a threat to the security of the United States of America, should not be allowed to continue that threat," said McCain. " We need to take every stop necessary to prevent that from happening, that’s for the safety and security of the men and women who are out there risking their lives ... in our armed services.”

McCain feels anyone and everyone who is a threat to the security of the U.S. should be detained and held for the rest of their lives without due process!  Wasn't he a POW?! - how would he have liked being held forever and never released because that country thought he was a threat?!  Also what makes a person a threat?  Speaking their mind?  Adhering to the constitution? 
____________________________________________________________________

I just posted how FOX news (video)  has brought the McCain/Levin bill to light to the general public and I am impressed.

Also see the original post about how the U.S. military could hold and detain a U.S. Citizen for the rest of their lives without trial or rights.

This is a battle for the country now!  The end game is here.  People need to understand, this is it!  With the economy crashing and the Euro about to go down the "elite" are playing out the end game!  Stand up - at least you will have tried to do something to save the country and others by making your voice heard!  


Go to the ACLU site and sign the letter to go to your Senator - that is the least you can do!

I am stating now - ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO VOTES FOR THIS BILL WILL BE COMMITTING TREASON AGAINST THE U.S. CITIZENS - In my opinion!



WE THE PEOPLE WILL NEED TO SUE AND CHARGE EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO VOTES FOR THE BILL WITH TREASON!  I AM SERIOUS!

 The Hill has an article about this - it PASSED through the Armed Services committee of the Senate and Reid is bringing to to the floor on a cloture vote!!! 

Portions:

After the Armed Services Committee passed the bill 26-0 earlier this month, the White House threatened to veto it if the detainee portions were not altered.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) plans to hold a cloture vote Wednesday for the defense authorization bill, and the Senate hopes to wrap up the bill with a final vote by Thursday, Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) said Monday.

Levin is not backing down from the fight, and he took it public on Monday along with ranking member Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), as the pair penned a Washington Post op-ed calling their approach to terror detention a “balanced” one.
Levin and McCain have disagreed, arguing their legislation gives the administration “broad authority to decide who is covered by this provision and how and when such a decision is made.”

Levin and McCain are now looking to press on this week, and with a busy December ahead, Reid appears ready to move the bill through the Senate. Levin and McCain talked on the Senate floor Monday about their eagerness to move quickly through a slew of more than 100 amendments.

“We’re not going have more than this week for this bill,” Levin said.

Many of those amendments seek to alter or strip out the detainee provisions from the bill. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), an Armed Services member, has said his amendments would prevent a veto. But McCain and Levin oppose any major changes to the legislation’s detainee provisions, including Udall’s amendments.


Thank God - McCain did NOT become the President!

MCCAIN AND LEVIN YOU HAVE COMMITTED TREASON AGAINST THE U.S PEOPLE - REID IF YOU BRING THIS TO VOTE ON THE FLOOR YOU TOO WILL BE COMMITTING TREASON - EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE SENATE WHO VOTE FOR THIS WILL BE COMMITTING TREASON!~


WE THE PEOPLE WILL FIGHT THE TREASON!  WE WILL ONLY TAKE SO MUCH!  WE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYERS WE CAN CONTACT AND ASK FOR TREASON TRIALS TO BE HELD AGAINST ALL THE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO VOTE FOR THIS BILL! 

Everyone needs to understand a couple of hundred people who are controlled by the banks and corporations are ruling 300,000,000 people and inacting laws against the people!  We the People have a right to elected officials that are "For the People"!  We do not have elected officials anymore "For the People", we have elected officials "Against the People"!  At what point will THE people understand what is going on?  We the People pay the elected officials to do what is right for the country and "For the people" they are not doing it anymore!  Vote EVERYONE of them OUT - VOTE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR - DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT HAS HELD OFFICE IN ANY CAPACITY - THEY ARE ALL OWNED AND ARE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!  Change WHO is in Office and Change our Government!   

I have no doubt I would be picked up by the military and held for the rest of my life if this bill passes!

Here is what it says:

Here is what the bill says:   this was inserted on GLP
b) Covered Persons- A covered person under this section is any person as follows:

(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.

(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

SEC. 5. DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL OF UNPRIVILEGED ENEMY BELLIGERENTS.
An individual, including a citizen of the United States, determined to be an unprivileged enemy belligerent under section 3(c)(2) ... may be detained without criminal charges and without trial for the duration of hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners in which the individual has engaged, or which the individual has purposely and materially supported, consistent with the law of war and any authorization for the use of military force provided by Congress pertaining to such hostilities.


Anyone who has stood up for the constitution or raised their voice against what the government is doing, would be in this category!  ONLY the frickin Asleep Idiots who couldn't care less and don't want to be distracted from their sports or watching their mindless T.V. shows will be kept - because they are controlled!  I am including my family in this category!  My mother this morning, when I told her about this.... couldn't be bothered and didn't want information on it.... because it would "ruin" her attitude for the day and she needed to sell furniture!  THAT is what we are dealing with.... IDIOTS who would rather stay STUPID to the truth! Selling furniture is more important to her than the Freedoms and the Fight for the Country!  Unfrickin believable!


At least I will know I tried to do something for the U.S. and everyone!  I will continue too!  Come what may! 
 __________________________________________________________________
Two questions about this.... 

First - What will the Police do when their jobs are taken away from them?


Second - Will the military people go along with this?  Will they start rounding up U.S. Citizens because they were told to, without the citizens actually doing anything against normal laws?
