Congress Seeks To Authorize & Legalize FEMA Camp Facilities
Published on 01-26-2009
Source: www.roguegovernment.com By: Lee Rogers A new bill has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives called the National Emergency Centers Act or HR 645. This bill if passed into law will direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish national emergency centers otherwise known as FEMA camp facilities on military installations. This is an incredibly disturbing piece of legislation considering that the powers that be have already set in motion an agenda to setup a nationwide marital law apparatus through U.S. Northern Command and the Department of Homeland Security. Apparently, the fusion centers, militarized police, surveillance cameras and a domestic military command is not enough. Even though we already know that detention facilities are already in place, they now want to legalize the construction of FEMA camps on military installations using the ever popular excuse that the facilities are for the purposes of a national emergency. With the phony debt based economy getting worse and worse by the day, the possibility of civil unrest is becoming a greater threat to the establishment. One need only look at Iceland, Greece and other nations for what might happen in the United States next. With this in mind, it appears as if these so called national emergency centers will be used in a national emergency but only if the national emergency requires large groups of people to be rounded up and detained. If that isn’t the case, than why have these national emergency facilities built in military installations? Let’s look through the various portions of the bill. Here is section 2 of the bill taken directly from the proposed legislation. SEC. 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY CENTERS. (a) In General- In accordance with the requirements of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations. (b) Purpose of National Emergency Centers- The purpose of a national emergency center shall be to use existing infrastructure-- (1) to provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster; (2) to provide centralized locations for the purposes of training and ensuring the coordination of Federal, State, and local first responders; (3) to provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations; and (4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. The legislation says that the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations. This means that the Secretary of Homeland Security can setup as many FEMA camps within military installations as they want, it just has to be more than 6 of them. On top of that, it also states that the facilities will be used to meet other appropriate needs as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. This could mean anything. If the Secretary of Homeland Security thinks it is appropriate to kill large groups of people like the Nazis did in World War II Germany, than it looks as if this bill would give them the authority to use these facilities for that purpose. Below is section 3 taken from the bill. SEC. 3. DESIGNATION OF MILITARY INSTALLATIONS AS NATIONAL EMERGENCY CENTERS. (a) In General- Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall designate not fewer than 6 military installations as sites for the establishment of national emergency centers. (b) Minimum Requirements- A site designated as a national emergency center shall be-- (1) capable of meeting for an extended period of time the housing, health, transportation, education, public works, humanitarian and other transition needs of a large number of individuals affected by an emergency or major disaster; (2) environmentally safe and shall not pose a health risk to individuals who may use the center; (3) capable of being scaled up or down to accommodate major disaster preparedness and response drills, operations, and procedures; (4) capable of housing existing permanent structures necessary to meet training and first responders coordination requirements during nondisaster periods; (5) capable of hosting the infrastructure necessary to rapidly adjust to temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance needs; (6) required to consist of a complete operations command center, including 2 state-of-the art command and control centers that will comprise a 24/7 operations watch center as follows: (A) one of the command and control centers shall be in full ready mode; and (B) the other shall be used daily for training; and (7) easily accessible at all times and be able to facilitate handicapped and medical facilities, including during an emergency or major disaster. (c) Location of National Emergency Centers- There shall be established not fewer than one national emergency center in each of the following areas: (1) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions I, II, and III. (2) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV. (3) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions V and VII. (4) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region VI. (5) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions VIII and X. (6) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IX. (d) Preference for Designation of Closed Military Installations- Wherever possible, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall designate a closed military installation as a site for a national emergency center. If the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Defense jointly determine that there is not a sufficient number of closed military installations that meet the requirements of subsections (b) and (c), the Secretaries shall jointly designate portions of existing military installations other than closed military installations as national emergency centers. (e) Transfer of Control of Closed Military Installations- If a closed military installation is designated as a national emergency center, not later than 180 days after the date of designation, the Secretary of Defense shall transfer to the Secretary of Homeland Security administrative jurisdiction over such closed military installation. (f) Cooperative Agreement for Joint Use of Existing Military Installations- If an existing military installation other than a closed military installation is designated as a national emergency center, not later than 180 days after the date of designation, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of Defense shall enter into a cooperative agreement to provide for the establishment of the national emergency center. (g) Reports- (1) PRELIMINARY REPORT- Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting jointly with the Secretary of Defense, shall submit to Congress a report that contains for each designated site-- (A) an outline of the reasons why the site was selected; (B) an outline of the need to construct, repair, or update any existing infrastructure at the site; (C) an outline of the need to conduct any necessary environmental clean-up at the site; (D) an outline of preliminary plans for the transfer of control of the site from the Secretary of Defense to the Secretary of Homeland Security, if necessary under subsection (e); and (E) an outline of preliminary plans for entering into a cooperative agreement for the establishment of a national emergency center at the site, if necessary under subsection (f). (2) UPDATE REPORT- Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting jointly with the Secretary of Defense, shall submit to Congress a report that contains for each designated site-- (A) an update on the information contained in the report as required by paragraph (1); (B) an outline of the progress made toward the transfer of control of the site, if necessary under subsection (e); (C) an outline of the progress made toward entering a cooperative agreement for the establishment of a national emergency center at the site, if necessary under subsection (f); and (D) recommendations regarding any authorizations and appropriations that may be necessary to provide for the establishment of a national emergency center at the site. (3) FINAL REPORT- Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting jointly with the Secretary of Defense, shall submit to Congress a report that contains for each designated site-- (A) finalized information detailing the transfer of control of the site, if necessary under subsection (e); (B) the finalized cooperative agreement for the establishment of a national emergency center at the site, if necessary under subsection (f); and (C) any additional information pertinent to the establishment of a national emergency center at the site. (4) ADDITIONAL REPORTS- The Secretary of Homeland Security, acting jointly with the Secretary of Defense, may submit to Congress additional reports as necessary to provide updates on steps being taken to meet the requirements of this Act. This section authorizes the Homeland Security Secretary to setup these FEMA camps in closed or open military installations and in regions around the nation. This essentially legalizes any existing FEMA camp infrastructure that has been built in either closed or open military installations and opens the door for additional facilities to be created. Fortunately, the bill only authorizes $180,000,000 per year for these facilities, but considering that the majority of the detention facilities are probably already built, they won't need much additional funding. There is no doubt judging from the language of this bill, that it is meant to legalize what they’ve already been doing. After all, FEMA has already been looking at ways to transport large quantities of people to camps, they held a FEMA camp drill which consisted of an illegal alien round up in Iowa and KBR/Halliburtion has already aided in the creation of detention facilities. The rationale behind this legislation is undoubtedly to serve as a mechanism of control if the authorities need facilities to hold large amounts of dissenting people. This is not to help people. One only needs to take a look at what happened during Hurricane Katrina and it is obvious that the government does not care about the people. They didn't care then, and they don't care now, and these facilities built or unbuilt will definitely not be utilized for the people's interest.

40 Al-Qaeda Terrorists Dead After Exposure to the Plague: Report

related: Nuclear, Biological Attack 'Likely': US Commission US Bioattack Looms, Report Warns The Growing Planetary Threat from Biological Weapons and Terrorism Al-Qaeda Cell Killed by Black Death 'Was Developing Biological Weapons' Al Qaeda Bungles Arms Experiment find out how to properly decontaminate and shelter in place and stay safe from contagious diseases

January 20, 2009
Peter Goodspeed
National Post, Canada

Seven years after they transformed George W. Bush's presidency, al-Qaeda terrorists are pushing to the top of his successor's priority list.

The very day Barack Obama was sworn in as President, warning Americans "our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred," there were reports an al-Qaeda affiliate recently abandoned a training camp in Algeria after 40 terrorists died from being exposed to the plague during a biological weapons test.

The report, which first surfaced in the British tabloid newspaper The Sun, claims members of al-Qaeda in the Land of the Maghreb (AQLIM) hurriedly abandoned their cave hideouts in Tizi Ouzou province, 150 kilometres east of the Algerian capital Algiers, after being exposed to plague bacteria.

The newspaper said they apparently became infected while experimenting with biological weapons.

Algerian security forces discovered the body of a dead terrorist alongside a road near the abandoned hideout.

U.S. intelligence officials, speaking anonymously to the Washington Times newspaper on Tuesday, could only confirm the sudden base closure after an unconventional weapons test went wrong.

The officials said they intercepted an urgent communication in early January between the AQLIM leadership and al-Qaeda's top leaders in the tribal region of Pakistan. The Algerian terrorists said they were abandoning and sealing off a training area after a leak of a chemical or biological substance.

AQLIM, once known as the Salfist Group of Call & Combat, is one of the most radical and violent Islamist groups operating in North Africa. It has ties to Moroccan terrorists who carried out the 2004 Madrid train bombings and bombed the UN headquarters in Algiers in 2007, killing 41 people.

There are two types of plague. Bubonic plague, which is spread by bites from infected rat fleas, killed a third of Europe's population in the 14th century but can now be treated with antibiotics. Pneumonic plague is less common but more deadly. It is spread, like the flu, by airborne bacteria, and can be inhaled and transmitted between humans without the involvement of animals or fleas.

For years, U.S. Defence Department officials have warned al-Qaeda operatives have been actively pursuing sophisticated biological weapons research.

News of the latest al-Qaeda threat broke as two million people crowded into Washington's National Mall to witness the inauguration of Mr. Obama. It also came four days after Mike McConnell, U.S. director of national intelligence, said Osama bin Laden's third-eldest son and heir apparent, Saad, has been released from house arrest in Iran.

The 27-year-old, who was groomed by his father to assume a leadership role in al-Qaeda, had been detained since after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

U.S. intelligence forces say during his detention, Saad bin Laden was allowed to continue to operate. He played a prominent role in ordering a 2002 suicide bombing of a Jewish synagogue in Tunisia, commanded a series of bombings that killed 45 people in Casablanca, Morocco, in May, 2003, and sent suicide car bombers who killed 35 people in Riyadh, also in May, 2003.

During his final news briefing of the Bush administration, Mr. McConnell said Saad bin Laden is now "probably in Pakistan."

His departure could signal a new relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda, but it might also suggest al-Qaeda is moving to consolidate its leadership in territory under its control in Pakistan.

By expelling senior al-Qaeda members, Iran might also be trying to clear the decks for a new relationship with Mr. Obama's administration.

OATH OF OFFICE REVISITED

The Strange Case Of Obama's
Inaugural Oath Of Office

A Cryptogram From The Cryptocracy?

By Michael Hoffman

1-23-9

Jan. 23, 2009 · RevisionistHistory.org "For a couple of smooth-talking constitutional experts, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and President-elect Barack Obama sure had a hard time getting through the constitutional oath of office...The chief justice seemed to say 'to' rather than 'of,' but that was not the main problem. The main problem was that the word 'faithfully' had floated upstream...Mr. Obama seemed to realize this, pausing quizzically after saying 'that I will execute ­' "The chief justice gave it another go, getting closer but still not quite right: "faithfully the office of president of the United States." This time, he omitted the word 'execute.' Mr. Obama now repeated the chief justice's initial error of putting 'faithfully' at the end of the phrase. Starting where he had abruptly paused, he said: 'the office of the president of the United States faithfully." ("I Do Solemnly Swear(Line, Please?," NY Times, Jan. 20, 2009) Yes, indeed these two "smooth-talking constitutional experts" couldn't manage to recite the brief oath as it was written. This was largely Chief Justice Roberts' fault. We can believe that this flub was due to human fallibility and that may very well be the case, or we can also wonder whether the very intelligent Chief Justice deliberately mishandled the oath so that it would be administered a second time, under very different circumstances. Here's how the media reported the second rite: ...After a day's worth of chatter over whether the president had been properly sworn into office...(i)n 25 seconds, President Obama became president again. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. re-administered the oath to Mr. Obama on Wednesday evening, one day after the two men stumbled over each other's words during the inauguration ceremony at the Capitol. For their do-over, the two men convened in the White House Map Room at 7:35 p.m. for a brief proceeding that was not announced until it was completed successfully...Only hours after aides told reporters there was no reason to administer the oath again, they concluded it was easier to do it on the first day, rather than have someone challenge the legitimacy of his presidency...Mr. Obama raised his right hand and did not use a Bible....only nine people witnessed the do-over. There were four aides, four reporters and a White House photographer..." (NY Times, Jan. 22, 2009). This second-time-around doppelganger oath was the real oath, since the flawed first one, done in the sight of millions and upon the Bible of assassinated President Abraham Lincoln was a "challenge (to) the legitimacy of his presidency..." There was no Bible the second time and with Obama having been compared to John F. Kennedy during the campaign, and with all of the macabre parallels between Kennedy and Lincoln (Lincoln was killed in Ford's theatre, Kennedy was killed in a Ford automobile; Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy, Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln; Lincoln and Kennedy were both succeeded by vice-presidents named Johnson, etc.), I'm not sure that if I were Barack Obama I would have wanted to step into the middle of such a highly charged symbol palimpsest -- unless of course the first inaugural oath-taking was little more more than shadow-play. What appears to be the authentic inauguration took place in a basement, and was an elite rather than a populist rite, with just nine witnesses. It occurred in former President Franklin Roosevelt's secretive, war-era "map room." Before FDR, under presidents from Chester Arthur through Wilson and Coolidge, it was reputedly used to play the game of billiards. The omission of the Bible is not invalidating since the father of our country did not use one at his inauguration and Lyndon Johnson, on the plane to Washington after's Kennedy's killing, used a Roman Catholic mass book ("missal"), rather than a Bible. Hence, the absence of a Bible per se does not invalidate the oath, but the peek-a-boo nature of the inaugural Bible may be deliberate, in that its momentous presence at the botched inauguration is all the more glaring in its inexplicable absence at the real inauguration. If symbolism is a language, what is being signaled by this apparently deliberate omission? Another equally striking aspect of the second oath are the photographs of the ceremony, which feature the looming presence of a vintage portrait above the mantle on the wall behind the president and the chief justice. The oath is a ritual and this ritual has an icon hovering over it, as if by way of spiritual benediction and patronage. As of this writing, in all the prominent photos of the second oath which this writer has seen, no caption has been provided by the establishment media that identifies the enigmatic man in the portrait. Yet, symbolically, he is the "genius loci," the presiding spirit of the authentic inaugural ceremony of Barack Obama as President. Like the omission of the Bible after so much was made of its presence at the first oath-taking, the omission of any identification of the figure in the painting at the second oath-taking would seem to be significant. Let us recall that the second oath was performed in secret: "...the two men convened in the White House Map Room at 7:35 p.m. for a brief proceeding that was not announced until it was completed..." In Freemasonry the god of the secret societies is covertly substituted for the One True God. This false god is identified in the masonic lodges as "the Great Architect." The mysterious man in the portrait who silently presides over the authentic inauguration of Barack Obama as Commander and Chief, is Benjamin Latrobe, the great architect of the U.S. Capitol.

Zephaniah Chapter 1

א דְּבַר-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הָיָה, אֶל-צְפַנְיָה בֶּן-כּוּשִׁי בֶן-גְּדַלְיָה, בֶּן-אֲמַרְיָה, בֶּן-חִזְקִיָּה--בִּימֵי יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ בֶן-אָמוֹן, מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה.	1 The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
ב אָסֹף אָסֵף כֹּל, מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה--נְאֻם-יְהוָה.	2 I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the earth, saith the LORD.
ג אָסֵף אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה, אָסֵף עוֹף-הַשָּׁמַיִם וּדְגֵי הַיָּם, וְהַמַּכְשֵׁלוֹת, אֶת-הָרְשָׁעִים; וְהִכְרַתִּי אֶת-הָאָדָם, מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה--נְאֻם-יְהוָה.	3 I will consume man and beast, I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the earth, saith the LORD.
ד וְנָטִיתִי יָדִי עַל-יְהוּדָה, וְעַל כָּל-יוֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִָם; וְהִכְרַתִּי מִן-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה, אֶת-שְׁאָר הַבַּעַל--אֶת-שֵׁם הַכְּמָרִים, עִם-הַכֹּהֲנִים.	4 And I will stretch out My hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the idolatrous priests with the priests;
ה וְאֶת-הַמִּשְׁתַּחֲוִים עַל-הַגַּגּוֹת, לִצְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם; וְאֶת-הַמִּשְׁתַּחֲוִים הַנִּשְׁבָּעִים לַיהוָה, וְהַנִּשְׁבָּעִים בְּמַלְכָּם.	5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to the LORD and swear by Malcam;
ו וְאֶת-הַנְּסוֹגִים, מֵאַחֲרֵי יְהוָה; וַאֲשֶׁר לֹא-בִקְשׁוּ אֶת-יְהוָה, וְלֹא דְרָשֻׁהוּ.	6 Them also that are turned back from following the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired after Him.
ז הַס, מִפְּנֵי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה: כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם יְהוָה, כִּי-הֵכִין יְהוָה זֶבַח הִקְדִּישׁ קְרֻאָיו.	7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD; for the day of the LORD is at hand, for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, He hath consecrated His guests.
ח וְהָיָה, בְּיוֹם זֶבַח יְהוָה, וּפָקַדְתִּי עַל-הַשָּׂרִים, וְעַל-בְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ--וְעַל כָּל-הַלֹּבְשִׁים, מַלְבּוּשׁ נָכְרִי.	8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
ט וּפָקַדְתִּי, עַל כָּל-הַדּוֹלֵג עַל-הַמִּפְתָּן--בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא: הַמְמַלְאִים בֵּית אֲדֹנֵיהֶם, חָמָס וּמִרְמָה.	9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, that fill their master's house with violence and deceit.
י וְהָיָה בַיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם-יְהוָה, קוֹל צְעָקָה מִשַּׁעַר הַדָּגִים, וִילָלָה, מִן-הַמִּשְׁנֶה; וְשֶׁבֶר גָּדוֹל, מֵהַגְּבָעוֹת.	10 And in that day, saith the LORD, Hark! a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
יא הֵילִילוּ, יֹשְׁבֵי הַמַּכְתֵּשׁ: כִּי נִדְמָה כָּל-עַם כְּנַעַן, נִכְרְתוּ כָּל-נְטִילֵי כָסֶף. {ס}	11 Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off. {S}

יג וְהָיָה חֵילָם לִמְשִׁסָּה, וּבָתֵּיהֶם לִשְׁמָמָה; וּבָנוּ בָתִּים, וְלֹא יֵשֵׁבוּ, וְנָטְעוּ כְרָמִים, וְלֹא יִשְׁתּוּ אֶת-יֵינָם.	13 Therefore their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation; yea, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof.
יד קָרוֹב יוֹם-יְהוָה הַגָּדוֹל, קָרוֹב וּמַהֵר מְאֹד; קוֹל יוֹם יְהוָה, מַר צֹרֵחַ שָׁם גִּבּוֹר.	14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD, wherein the mighty man crieth bitterly.
טו יוֹם עֶבְרָה, הַיּוֹם הַהוּא: יוֹם צָרָה וּמְצוּקָה, יוֹם שֹׁאָה וּמְשׁוֹאָה, יוֹם חֹשֶׁךְ וַאֲפֵלָה, יוֹם עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל.	15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
טז יוֹם שׁוֹפָר, וּתְרוּעָה, עַל הֶעָרִים הַבְּצֻרוֹת, וְעַל הַפִּנּוֹת הַגְּבֹהוֹת.	16 A day of the horn and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high towers.
יז וַהֲצֵרֹתִי לָאָדָם, וְהָלְכוּ כַּעִוְרִים--כִּי לַיהוָה, חָטָאוּ; וְשֻׁפַּךְ דָּמָם כֶּעָפָר, וּלְחֻמָם כַּגְּלָלִים.	17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.
יח גַּם-כַּסְפָּם גַּם-זְהָבָם לֹא-יוּכַל לְהַצִּילָם, בְּיוֹם עֶבְרַת יְהוָה, וּבְאֵשׁ קִנְאָתוֹ, תֵּאָכֵל כָּל-הָאָרֶץ: כִּי-כָלָה אַךְ-נִבְהָלָה יַעֲשֶׂה, אֵת כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ. {ס}	18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy; for He will make and end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the earth. {S}

NEW GUN LEGISLATION PASSES HOUSE

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

Gun bill passes house HR2640

Gun legislation passed the house today by voice vote. It was a compromise bill by John Dingell and Carolyn McCarthy - HR 2640.

The NRA and GOA were split on this bill. I'm going to say "We report, you decide." If it is good or not.

First - The NRA's side of the story

The new version of the NICS Improvement Act (H.R. 2640) would require federal agencies to provide records of prohibited individuals for use in NICS. It would also provide financial incentives to states to do the same, by rewarding states that provide records to NICS and penalizing those that refuse to do so over an extended period of time.

Some pro-gun groups have claimed that H.R. 2640 would “prohibit” thousands of people from owning guns. This is not true; these bills would only enforce current prohibitions. In fact, H.R. 2640 would allow some people now unfairly prohibited from owning guns to have their rights restored, and to have their names removed from the instant check system.

The following are the key provisions of H.R. 2640, introduced by Reps. John Dingell (D-Mich.), Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) and Rick Boucher (D-Va.), which passed the House of Representatives by a voice vote on June 13, 2007.

Key Provisions of H.R. 2640

H.R. 2640 would prevent use of federal “adjudications” that consist only of medical diagnoses without findings that the people involved are dangerous or mentally incompetent.
For example, NICS currently accepts Veterans' Administration decisions that a veteran or other beneficiary is an “adjudicated mental defective” where there was no “adjudication” at all--only a decision that the patient is unable to manage his own finances. Many patients may have accepted such a decision without expecting to lose their gun ownership rights.
H.R. 2640 would eliminate purely medical records from NICS. Gun ownership rights would only be lost as a result of a finding that the person is a danger to himself or others, or lacks the capacity to manage his own affairs.

H.R. 2640 would require all federal agencies that impose mental health adjudications or commitments (such as the VA) to provide a process for “relief from disabilities.” The bill allows de novo judicial review when an agency denies relief--that is, the court would look at the application on its merits, rather than deferring to the agency's earlier decision.
As a practical matter, the mental health disability is the only firearm disqualifier that can never be removed. Criminal records can be expunged or pardoned, but mental records cannot.
While BATFE used to have the ability to accept applications to remove individuals' prohibited status, appropriations riders every year since 1992 have barred it from doing so. Allowing this process through H.R. 2640 would be an improvement over the current law.
Under H.R. 2640, even if a person is inappropriately committed or declared incompetent by a federal agency, the person would have an opportunity to correct the error--either through the agency or in court.

H.R. 2640 would prevent reporting of mental adjudications or commitments by federal agencies when those adjudications or commitments have been removed.

H.R. 2640 would also make clear that if a federal adjudication or commitment has expired or been removed, it would no longer bar a person from possessing or receiving firearms under the Gun Control Act.
This actually restores the person's rights, as well as deleting the record from NICS--a significant improvement over current law.

States that receive funding would also need to have a relief from disabilities program for mental adjudications and commitments. State relief programs would have to provide for de novo judicial review, as in the federal programs.
Relief granted by a state program would remove the federal prohibition on the person possessing or receiving a firearm under the Gun Control Act--again, an improvement over current law.
Many states have processes for temporary emergency commitments that allow a short-term commitment based only on affidavits from police, doctors or family members, without opportunity for a hearing. Because federal law prohibits gun possession by a person who “has been” committed, a person committed under such a process can't possess a gun even after full release from the temporary order. By requiring participating states to have a relief program that actually removes the disability, H.R. 2640 would be a significant improvement over current law.

The legislation would improve the accuracy and completeness of NICS by requiring federal agencies and participating states to provide relevant records. For instance, it would give states an incentive to report people such as Virginia Tech murderer Seung-Hui Cho--that is, people who were found after a full court hearing to be a danger to themselves or others, but not reported to NICS due to lack of funding or contrary state laws.

The legislation requires removal of expired, incorrect or otherwise irrelevant records. Today, totally innocent people (e.g., individuals with arrest records, who were never convicted of the crime charged) are sometimes subject to delayed or denied firearm purchases because of incomplete records in the system.

The legislation prohibits federal fees for NICS checks. Under current law, only annual appropriations riders prohibit the FBI from trying to impose fees by regulation (as the Clinton Administration proposed in 1998). A permanent ban on such a “gun tax” has been an NRA priority for nearly a decade.

The legislation requires an audit by the Government Accountability Office of funds already spent for criminal history improvements. There has only been limited documentation of how hundreds of millions of dollars intended for NICS were spent on non-NICS programs such as automated fingerprint systems.
Voluntary Psychological Treatment

Neither current federal law, nor H.R. 2640, would prohibit gun possession by people who have voluntarily sought psychological counseling or checked themselves into a hospital:

Current law only prohibits gun possession by people who have been “adjudicated as a mental defective” or “committed to any mental institution.” Current BATFE regulations specifically exclude commitments for observation and voluntary commitments. Records of voluntary treatment also would not be available under federal and state health privacy laws.

Similarly, voluntary drug or alcohol treatment would not be reported to NICS. First, voluntary treatment is not a “commitment.” Second, current federal law on gun possession by drug users, as applied in BATFE regulations, only prohibits gun ownership by those whose “unlawful [drug] use has occurred recently enough to indicate that the individual is actively engaged in such conduct.”

In short, neither current law nor this legislation would affect those who voluntarily get psychological help. No person who needs help for a mental health or substance abuse problem should be deterred from seeking that help due to fear of losing Second Amendment rights.

And then - GOA

While the entire nation was focused on the immigration bill the past couple of weeks, the gremlins on Capitol Hill were finalizing a "compromise" on gun control legislation.

The good news is that your tremendous outpouring of opposition to Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's Brady enhancement (HR 297) has sent a strong signal to Capitol Hill that this bill is unacceptable as written. The bad news is that there are some seemingly pro-gun Congressmen who are driven to get anything passed, just so they can say they did something about Virginia Tech.

So what's going on?

On Saturday, The Washington Post reported [ see http://tinyurl.com/23cgqn ] that both the Democrats and the NRA leadership had reached a "deal" on legislation similar to the McCarthy bill. This "deal" involves a new bill that has been introduced by Rep. McCarthy (HR 2640) -- a bill that has not yet been posted on the Thomas legislative service. While all the legislative particulars are not yet available, one thing is clear: it is, as reported by the Post, a deal with Democrats. And it involves legislation introduced by the most anti-gun member of the House, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY).

The Post says that, under the new language, the federal government would pay (that is, spend taxpayers' money) to help the states send more names of individual Americans to the FBI for inclusion in the background check system. If a state fails to do this, then the feds could cut various law enforcement grants to that state. In essence, this is a restatement of what the original McCarthy bill does. The states will be bribed (again, with your money) to send more names, many of them innocent gun owners, to the FBI in West Virginia -- and perhaps lots of other personal information on you as well.

Under the terms of this compromise, the Post says, "individuals with minor infractions in their pasts could petition their states to have their names removed from the federal database, and about 83,000 military veterans, put into the system by the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2000 for alleged mental health reasons, would have a chance to clean their records."

Oh really? The Brady law already contains a procedure for cleaning up records. But it hasn't worked for the 83,000 veterans that are currently prohibited from buying guns. Gun Owners of America is aware of many people who have tried to invoke this procedure in the Brady Law, only to get the run around -- and a form letter -- from the FBI. The simple truth is that the FBI and the BATFE think the 83,000 veterans, and many other law-abiding Americans, should be in the NICS system.

After all, that's what federal regulations decree. Unless these regs are changed, Congress can create as many redundant procedures for cleaning up these records as it wants, but the bottom line is, there is nothing that will force the FBI to scrub gun owners' name from the NICS system.

Not only that, there is a Schumer amendment in federal law which prevents the BATFE from restoring the rights of individuals who are barred from purchasing firearms. If that amendment is not repealed, then it doesn't matter if your state stops sending your name for inclusion in the FBI's NICS system... you are still going to be a disqualified purchaser when you try to buy a gun.

Moreover, will gun owners who are currently being denied the ability to purchase firearms -- such as the military veterans who have suffered from post-traumatic stress -- be recompensed in any way for their efforts to "clean their records"? They will, no doubt, have to spend thousands of dollars going to a shrink for a positive recommendation, for hiring lawyers to take their case to court, etc.

And this is not to mention the fact that this procedure turns our whole legal system on its head. Americans are presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. But these brave souls, who risked their lives defending our country, were denied the right to bear arms because of a mental illness "loophole" in the law. Their names were added to the prohibited purchasers' list in West Virginia without any due process, without any trial by jury... no, their names were just added by executive fiat. They were unilaterally, and unconstitutionally, added into the NICS system by the Clinton administration. And now the burden of proof is ON THEM to prove their innocence. Isn't that backwards?

One wonders if these military veterans will be any more successful in getting back their gun rights than the gun owners in New Orleans who tried to get back their firearms which were confiscated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. (Gun owners in the Big Easy have found it very difficult to prove their case and get their guns back, even though the courts have ruled that the police acted improperly in confiscating their firearms.) But isn't that the problem when honest people are thrust into the position of PROVING their innocence to the government, rather than vice-versa.

The fact is, current federal law -- combined with BATFE's interpretations of that law -- will make it very unlikely that any court will restore the Second Amendment rights of those 83,000 veterans.

Finally, the Post article also says the "federal government would be permanently barred from charging gun buyers or sellers a fee for their background checks." Well, that sounds good, but GOA already won this battle in 1998 when we drafted and pushed the Smith amendment into law.

GOA had to overcome opposition from certain pro-gun groups to help Senator Bob Smith (R-NH) introduce and push his language as an amendment to an appropriations bill. The Smith amendment barred the FBI from taxing gun buyers, something which the Clinton administration was considering doing.

GOA won the vote in the Senate with a veto-proof majority and the Smith amendment has been law ever since. But now we're being told that we need to swallow McCarthy's poison pill so that the Smith amendment -- which is currently law -- will stay on the books. Huh?!

ACTION: Gun Owners of America is the only national pro-gun organization opposing the McCarthy bill, so it is imperative that you contact your representative immediately. Please take action today and spread the word about HR 2640! We need all the help we can get.

TRANS TEXAS CORRIDOR

Trans Texas Corridor
Not Dead - Just Renamed

TURF Supporters Demand ACTION, Not Rhetoric

From Terry Hall
1-7-9

TURF reaction to TxDOT announcement: The announcement by TxDOT Executive Director Amadeo Saenz at the Texas Transportation Forum that the "Trans Texas Corridor, as it was originally envisioned, is no more," is just another in a series of comments to lead opponents into believing the Trans Texas Corridor is indeed dead. TURF believes this is a deliberate move to dupe opponents into complacency, and we expect iron-clad action before we begin celebrating victory. It's clear from the TxDOT Director's speech, that it's only a name change and the Trans Texas Corridor is, in reality, going underground. This fact is evident in just about every news source across the state: "'Amadeo told folks at the forum that the Trans-Texas Corridor, as it was originally envisioned, is no more,' Amacker said. 'Instead, what we've got is a series of smaller projects.' Those 'smaller projects' will apparently include the 300-plus miles of what has been called TTC-35 from San Antonio to the Oklahoma border and the I-69 project from the Rio Grande Valley to Texarkana. But they will not be called the Trans-Texas Corridor." -- Austin American Statesman _______________________________________________________ "Other than backpedaling from the Trans-Texas Corridor brand, and the goals and priorities set over the years, the Trans-Texas Corridor remains intact. TxDOT still plans to partner with private corporations to build and lease projects. Toll roads, truck-only lanes and rail lanes are also still on the table. Environmental studies for the I-35 and East Texas corridor segments still chug through the pipeline. And a development contract with Cintra of Spain and Zachry Construction Co. of San Antonio, for projects paralleling I-35, is still valid". -- San Antonio Express-News _________________________________________________________ "The renewed effort now will operate under the name 'Innovative Connectivity Plan.'" -- Houston Chronicle _________________________________________________________ No law has been changed, no minute order rescinded, no environmental document re-done (as is required by federal law), and there are still two contracts signed giving two Spanish companies the right of first refusal on segments of the corridor previously known as TTC-35 & TTC-69. So by every real measure, the Trans Texas Corridor goes on full steam ahead. What today's hype was about is a political ploy to make the public go back to sleep while it gets built under a different name. While we welcome genuine responsiveness from TxDOT and a true repeal of the Trans Texas Corridor, this hardly qualifies. Lets just say, we agree with Senator Robert Nichols' statement in the Dallas Morning News: "If it is just a name change, and nothing more, I don't think that is going to do much to appease lawmakers," said Nichols, R-Jacksonville.

OBAMA'S BIG GAMBLE - WILL IT WORK ??

Obama's Big Gamble:
Odds Shifting
By: Devvy

Exclusive to Rense.com
1-1-9

Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Dunham, aka Barry Dunham, still thinks in his cocky arrogance he can pull off the big con and step into the White House. I submit to you that the odds are shifting in favor of the truth and not the fiction offered up by Obama. Obama has under estimated the tenacity and determination of millions of Americans who demand truth above lies and believe the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land to be enforced equally across the board. There's a lot of scratch riding on Obama's ascent to the Oval Office. Unfortunately, those who bet the farm on this impostor aren't going to realize big returns on their investment. The question of Obama's eligibility isn't going away January 20th or any other date until proof is provided (not a poorly forged birth certificate) that he was a 'natural born citizen' at birth. Obots (those who blindly follow Obama without a clue as to who he really is and what he represents) can continue to parrot false hoods they hear or read on liberal/progressive web sites, but it will not change the facts regarding Obama's birth. Tune out those distractions and stay focused. As I have outlined in previous articles, I have filed several Freedom of Information Act requests (FOIAs) and State Records Act requests. In a previous article, you saw the response from the University of Hawaii: http://www.rense.com/general84/treach.htm As you can see from that document, Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, was not in school during the important year: 1961; was she even in the U.S. for part of that year? Some are claiming the U of Hawaii has lied about the dates. It takes time to put all the dots together when you have to fight like a lion for every scrap of paper. Below are the documents I received under the State Records Act from Illinois. I originally filed with Jesse White, Secretary of State, but his office wrote back that such a request needed to be sent to the State Board of Elections. My request was as follows: Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act Request, 5 ILCS 140, I hereby request the following: Re: Illinois State Senate Race 1996 All records, proof of citizenship, forms, affidavits or official paperwork submitted by Barack Hussein Obama required by the State of Illinois to be placed on the ballot in 1996. This request includes any and all hard copy, electronic transmissions related to the above as well as emails. I did not request documents relating to Obama's declaration of eligibility for president. However, if you've filed enough FOIAs (state or federal), this is about normal. It seems few can read or comprehend a simple request and so you get all sorts of documents, but the ones you really want aren't there. Off my request went and this is their response: Exhibit One: Letter signed by Steven S. Sandvoss Exhibit Two: Statement of Candidacy dated October 2, 2007 The Statement of Candidacy is signed by Obama, although his signature is impossible to read. He states that he is legally qualified to seek the office of president of the United States of America. I did not request this document. The second Statement of Candidacy is dated December 3, 2003. Exhibit Three I did not ask for this document, either. I requested for the paperwork for 1996. This single piece of paper allegedly is all that is required by the Secretary of State, Illinois, to be "legally qualified" to unlawfully run for the U.S. Senate. Unlawfully, because the Seventeenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was NOT ratified by the required number of states. The fraud over this amendment is even worse than the fraudulent ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment. The State of Illinois apparently does not require any proof of citizenship or that the individual even provide their full legal name. We know Obama lied on his Illinois Bar Registration by swearing that he has never used any other names: http://www.politifact.com/media/files/obamaattyreg.pdf Tomorrow I shall send off another letter to the General Counsel in Illinois who responded and ask for the documents I requested. If you'll notice on the letter from Sandvoss, it is addressed to Ms. Horrigan --- obviously, that isn't me. The letter is simply a boiler plate canned response to the requests coming into that office and this lawyer couldn't even get the names of requesters correct. Well, you know what they say, the devil's in the details. Anyway, my FOIA requests with the U.S. State Department continue to be ignored and the legally mandated time for responding has now passed. Tomorrow I shall send off notification to the State Department that I expect them to get off the dime and get the documents I requested which are: This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552) and the regulations thereunder. I am requesting records pertaining to: Stanley Ann Dunham Date of Birth: November 29, 1942 Date of death: November 7, 1995 Place of Birth: Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Married name: Stanley Ann Obama I am requesting a copy of Stanley Ann Obama's application for a U.S. passport. This request is for all documentation and paperwork submitted by Mrs. Obama to obtain a U.S. passport and date the passport was issued. I am requesting copies of all Stanley Ann Obama's travel records for the period February 1961 through December 1961. These records to include Mrs. Obama's departure from the U.S. and dates of return. And, the same for Comrade Obama's father: I am requesting records pertaining to: Barack Obama, Sr. Date of Birth: 1936, died 1982 Place of Birth: Nyanza Province, Kenya. I am requesting a copy of Barack Obama, Sr.'s travel records for the period February 1961 through December 1961; entry into the U.S. and departure from the U.S. to any destination. Both individuals are long deceased so there is no privacy issue here. If I have to file a lawsuit, so be it. While unfortunate, I had to sue over my last FOIA to the FAA regarding Flight 93 and won. Obama has spent more than a million dollars trying to shoo away this issue, but we are not shrinking violets and we will not go away until the whole truth is exposed. While the core issue is with Obama's father and citizenship, it is of paramount importance that we obtain all documentation available about Obama, i.e., where and when he was born. All of this is critical because this man has made it his mission to keep his life sealed up tighter than a water proof vault. From his birth to college records, Obama doesn't want the American people to know certain facts and that is why we will not stop until those facts are exposed. Of course, Obama could make some of this go away. The Obama's have left Hawaii to head for DC and his coronation. A 12 day vacation at a $9 million dollar mansion; would love to know who footed the bill for that vacation. One would think given the massive amount of headaches and mega bucks being spent on the birth certificate issue, that once again while Obama was in Hawaii, he could have put on his shirt, headed on over to the Hawaii Department of Public Health, obtained his complete file and made it available to the swarm of media hanging on his every word. No, of course not. Better the time is spent flexing his pecs for the cameras. While Obots and the sycophant media think Obama is just too cool, I find it extremely distasteful to see an alleged future president cavorting in the surf. Yes, he's entitled to swim in the ocean, but it's so fake. Obama has never met a mirror he didn't love. While Obama acts nonchalant, nothing he does is casual. The size of his ego dwarfs even serial adulterer, Bill Clinton. Divorce documents: Obama's parents If you go to this web site, you will see the divorce papers between Obama's parents: http://decalogosintl.org/?p=93 I printed them out and studied with my trusty magnifying glass. Obama's mother is the plaintiff: Stanley Ann Soetoro. However, she signs some documents as S. Ann Dunham Soetoro. We must assume this marriage is what created one of Obama's legal names: Barry Soetoro. On page one of the court documents, the parties list 1 child under age 18 and over 18. Stanley and Lolo Soetoro had one child together, Maya Soetoro. It is alleged Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. Only the minor child, Maya, is mentioned by name in all the documents. As these divorce papers were signed in June of 1980, Obama would be the child over 18. Stanley must have been a woman of means as she declined any spousal or child support. Page 5 shows, "Defendant (Lolo) shall not be required to provide for the support, maintenance and education of the minor child." As for the lawsuits still in play: Broe v. Reed. This lawsuit has been filed in Washington State and has the potential to check mate Obama and his mega bux per hour lawyers. While the case is scheduled to be heard on January 8, 2009, according to the report below, it could be delayed until a ruling is made regarding a subpoena request: New suit claims unique state law enables citizens to demand proof http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=84966 The responses by Secretary of State's across this country continues to astound rational thinking Americans: http://www.uslaw.com/library/Obama_Citizenship/Bro e_v_Reed_Response_SOS.php?item=329200 "The SOS argues that plaintiffs case should be dismissed because 1) it is moot; 2) plaintiffs have failed to join an indispensable party; 3) plaintiffs have failed to state a claim in mandamus because a candidate's eligibility for office is presumed, and the SOS has no duty and is prohibited by law from investigating a candidate's qualifications; and 4) the qualifications of the President is a federal question." A candidate's eligibility for office is presumed? The same cow patty was dished up regarding McCain: Judge Rules McCain's U.S. Citizenship is "Highly Probable" http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2008/09/judge-rules-mcc.html This is bogus. Leo Donofrio's lawsuit included McCain's ineligibility as a candidate and the absolute concrete reasons why McCain was not a natural born citizen at birth. Congress tried to pull a con on this one with a resolution, but it doesn't change the facts. Why would a Democrat controlled Congress do this for McCain? Why, to pave the road for their impostor of choice: Obama. These links tell the story: http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200804/041008c.html http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=sr110-511 We have to remember the key issue here is natural born at birth.

Phil Berg has filed another lawsuit. He currently has two other dates pending in the U.S. Supreme Court [Docket No. 08 - 570] with two [2] Conferences scheduled on January 9th and 16th 2009. Phil's new client is Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Gregory S. Hollister. According to Phil's latest press release, "The suit is in the nature of an Interpleader that shifts the burden of proof to the Defendants, Soetoro a/k/a Obama and Biden to show that they are "qualified" for office." Phil goes on to say in his press release: "I am determined, on behalf of the 320 million citizens in the United States, to see that "our U.S. Constitution" is followed. Specifically, in the case of Soetoro a/k/a Obama, does he meet the constitutional qualifications for President ? I do not believe so based upon: 1) Obama was born in Kenya and because his mother was not nineteen [19], he was only "naturalized" and therefore, not qualified to be President; 2) Obama was legally adopted/acknowledged in Indonesia at the approximate age of six [6] and attended school as "Barry Soetoro," [his step-father is Lolo Soetoro] for four [4] years - Indonesia did not have dual citizenship and to attend school, he had to be adopted or acknowledged and he became a "natural" citizen of Indonesia; 3) when he returned to Hawaii at age ten [10], there is a question if he returned through U.S. Immigration - (a) if he did, Barry Soetoro would have been given a "Certification of Citizenship" that would have indicated he was a "naturalized" U.S. citizen since he was a "natural" citizen of Indonesia; or (b) if he did not go through immigration, which I believe, then Soetoro a/k/a Obama is an illegal alien and therefore, not constitutionally qualified to be President and his three [3] years as an U.S. Senator were a fraud."

See Obama's 2007 Tax Return For Chicago Mansion Taxes, Interest Deductions A Check of Obama's 2007 income tax return at: http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/presreturns.nsf/Returns/CBBA4 F0CDB3C35198525742F005A334A/$file/B_Obama_2007.pdf shows Obama deducted $22,161 for property taxes. Can we assume the taxes were on this property? Did Obama pay them? Or did Rezko's attorney William Miceli? Did Micelei also take a tax deduction? Obama also deducted $57,838 in mortgage interest. If Obama and Miceli both took tax deductions for property taxes and/or mortgage interest payments one or more of the men could be criminally liable. "An attorney for convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko [William Miceli] is listed as the owner and taxpayer for Barack Obama's Chicago mansion, according to records obtained by WND." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php? fa=PAGE.view&pageId=84101

(Lafayette Hill, PA -- Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama's lack of "qualifications" to serve as President of the United States and his case, Berg vs. Obama, [is in the U.S. Supreme Court with two (2) Conferences scheduled on 1/09/09 & 1/16/09] announced today that the new issue of GLOBE Magazine [1/12/09 issue] highlights Berg vs. Obama U.S. Supreme Court case and is major story on the front of the magazine and is the centerfold story. There is a place for everyone to vote as to status of Obama, "natural born" or not. Berg stated, "This is the 2nd time GLOBE Magazine has highlighted the question of Obama's lack of 'qualifications' to be President. More and more people are aware of the fact that Obama does not meet the 'qualifications' and that this is the biggest 'Hoax' perpetrated on the citizens of the United States in 230 years. When the truth finally comes out, individuals including Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama, Howard Dean [Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC)], other top officials of the DNC and senior campaign staff of Obama's campaign should be brought into the criminal justice system and indicted and tried with incarceration for those convicted." The story is the center spread. There's also a poll where you can Cast Your Vote: Truth or Vicious Smear? Was Barack Obama actually born in Kenya and therefore not legally eligible to serve as President? Or are the mounting claims against him just part of a vicious smear campaign to discredit him? Here's a chance for you to have your say!
