Defense Authorization Act – Is it Treason? #oathkeepers

  JB Williams | Right Side News

At first glance, I had some doubts about all the hoopla over the pending Defense Authorization Act and claims that it was essentially a declaration of war on American citizens, under the guise of national security and annual defense appropriations.

Then I read the bill and connected the dots that every American must connect immediately.

The treasonous text in that bill reads as follows; (pay close attention to the areas in bold)

(a) In General- Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force [1] pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in subsection (b) pending disposition under the law of war. [2]

(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, [3] including any person who has committed a belligerent act [4] or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces. [5]

Before directly addressing this text and in an effort to fully grasp how this text is an act of treason against the American people, there are a few fundamental facts one must understand.
  • Our Armed Services exist for one reason alone, at the service of the people, to protect and defend the Unites States, The U.S. Constitution and the American people against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. This is the primary purpose and function of our federal government.
  • The Laws of War as written by William Winthrop, also known as Military Law or the Uniform Code of Military Justice, operate entirely separate and independent from the Civil Justice System, including the suspension of fundamental Constitutional Rights for both members of the Military and those designated enemy combatants.
  • Following Bill Clinton’s lead in 1996 and immediately upon seizing office, the Obama Administration issued a Homeland Security Report directly identifying members of the US Military, Veterans and American citizens with dissenting views towards the current direction of our country as “potential domestic terrorists” and “right-wing extremists.”
  • The Obama Administration has been cross-training state and local law enforcement agencies on dealing with “urban warfare” aimed at so-called “right-wing extremists” which is now defined as anyone opposed to Global Governance and national socialism.
  • American courts no longer enforce the law or the Constitution. Instead, they make up the law as they go via unbridled interpretation powers exceeding their constitutional authority, all in the name of “social justice,” not to be confused with actual justice.

As a result, the language in Sections 1031 and 1032 of the Defense Authorization Act amount to treason against the American people, as an open-ended power of the Executive Branch to indefinitely detain, incarcerate and interrogate American citizens on the basis of suspicion or accusations without even bringing any criminal charges, much less providing due process of the law.

What if the person sitting in the Oval Office is a foreign born domestic enemy of the United States? -- What if the Administration is willing to use the full power of the federal government and the U.S. Military to force its political will upon the people, deeming every dissenter as a “potential domestic terrorist?” -- What if the American courts make up laws as they go without any regard for written laws or the U.S. Constitution?

Guess what? That’s exactly what we have today!

The current Defense Authorization Act gives the President of the United States the unbridled power to use the U.S. Military against American citizens, their Constitutional Rights suspended under the Laws of War.
