Action: Preempt the coup before it happens

"Letting them know we know"

Thanks to Ron for setting this petition up:

One basic point--while it only makes sense to urge these officials to take a certain position or action, the likelihood of their actually doing so seems to me to be of lesser concern, at this point, than simply letting as many people in Washington as possible know (and people can feel free to contact state capitols as well) that we are alert to what is likely coming, that we are not about to be deceived, and thereby make it less likely that such a false-flag attack will actually be carried out, by demonstrating that a climate of opinion exists wherein the potential gains afforded by domestic false-flag terror are reduced and the potential risks are heightened.

Text of the Petition follows...

Whereas the Defense Authorization Act passed by the previous Congress in October 2006 enables the President, upon his own declaration of a public emergency, to seize control of National Guard units and station troops anywhere in the country without the consent of state or local authorities;
Whereas a former National Security Advisor, in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this past February, described as a "plausible scenario" the administration's using a terrorist act within the United States as a pretext to expand the scope of conflict for U.S. forces in the Middle East;
Whereas the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive issued by the White House in May declares that the occurrence of a "catastrophic emergency" within the U.S. shall result in the effective overturning of the constitutional system of checks-and-balances and the concentration of government power in the executive branch;
Whereas recent weeks have witnessed a series of abortive terror incidents on both sides of the
Atlantic, apparently instigated at least in part by undercover operatives, and the reporting of which seems intended to heighten public fears out of proportion to the actual dangers posed to life and property;
Whereas the administration persists in asserting, without substantiation, a link between armed groups in Iraq and the perpetrators of the attacks of September 11, 2001;
Whereas this same administration resisted a truly independent investigation of the 9/11 attacks, leading to a 9/11 commission whose final report left numerous questions wholly unexamined, and before which the President and Vice President refused to submit sworn testimony, or even to permit any recording of what answers they did provide;
Whereas the prime beneficiaries of a successfully executed terrorist act within the United States would be the proponents of expanded war in the Middle East and unchecked executive power at home;
Whereas history presents numerous examples of governments manufacturing incidents to further agendas of war and expanded executive power;

We call upon the United States Congress and the governments of the fifty states, in the name of their constituents, to advise the administration that any terrorist incident within the United States will be promptly, fully, and independently investigated, with the constitutional system of checks-and-balances and states rights remaining fully in force; and further urge the repeal of the provisions of the 2006 Defense Appropriations Act which enable the President to deploy United States forces anywhere in the country for domestic policing purposes without the consent of state or local authorities; and that the questions persisting around the attacks of September 11, 2001 which
the 9/11 Commission left unexamined be made the subject of a full and independent investigation.

Superb !!!

Send far and wide !! I generally find petitions a waste of time but this is a horse of a different color. This is a wake up call, a weapon in our arsenal. The wording simply COULD NOT BE BETTER DONE.

Maybe add the DeFazio episode

Congressman on Homeland Security committee denied access to emergency plans. !?!

During the Iran Contra hearings

[I'm reposting this just because it took so long for it to show on the other thread] During the Iran Contra hearings Congressman Jack Brooks directly asked Oliver North about a story in a Miami newspaper that exposed COG plans to suspend the Constitution. There was a lot of tension in the room and the chairman stopped Brooks and said, "that goes into a highly sensitive and classified area." Brooks countered saying that he was deeply concerned because it specifically mentioned the suspension of the US Constitution, and the chairman just basically repeated himself. This exchange is on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL1yBcd4Yp4 --sorry, the audio is a little out of sync. You can find it other places on YT too.

Also, General Tommy Franks is quoted as saying after 9/11 that if another national emergency were to occur then the U.S. would probably get rid of the Constitution and replace it with a military style of government. Kissinger has said the same thing... these quotes are easy to find. This has been in the works for a while.

Listen, I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I think people should get a small supply of potassium iodate which protects the thyroid from nuclear poisoning. You can find it online. From what I've read, iodate is better than iodine. The government will not protect us--we will have to look out for ourselves and each other. Even if this is just a scare tactic, it's much better to be safe than dead.
