Battle Brewing Between US States & Federal Government!

  • 25 states have introduced bills declaring sovereignty from the federal government and the number is increasing by the week! The Feds have been ‘screwing’ Americans big time. The Feds seem intent on declaring martial law, instituting military draft, confiscating all guns and preventing the sale of ammunition…. What are they up to? It cannot be good for America.
     
  • Wakey! Wakey! Lawmaker Warns Of “Forced Servitude” Under Obama :
     
    New Hampshire state representative Dan Itse, who is one of many lawmakers leading the charge to assert state sovereignty against federal encroachment, has warned that the Obama administration seeks to institute “involuntary servitude”.
     
    Appearing on Fox News to discuss the states’ rights movement, Itse told hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, “This is about drawing a line in the sand and saying we’ve tolerated usurpations for so long but we’re not going to tolerate you violating the constitution, we’re going to hold you accountable.”
     
    Asked if his warning about involuntary servitude under Obama meant young people being forced to attend community service, Itse responded, “Exactly, I mean, if you are required to do a job against your will with a pay scale not set by you or not agreed to by you, that’s involuntary servitude.”
     
    Despite denials that Obama plans to institute a mandatory program of national service,
    his original change.gov website stated that Americans would be “required” to complete “50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”. The text was only later changed to state that Americans would be “encouraged” to undertake such programs.
     
    In addition, Obama’s Chief of Staff,
    Rahm Emanuel, publicly stated his intention to help create “universal civil defense training” in 2006. Such fears were also stoked when Obama himself said that a “national civilian security force,” that is “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the U.S. military was required.
     
    Itse cited the No Child Left Behind program as an example of the federal government encroaching on states’ rights. “They dangle a dollar in front of us and we chase it like the donkey with a carrot on a stick but ultimately they are infringing upon our domestic policies in the states, manipulating our domestic policies and we need to stand up and say that’s not your job, that’s our job,” said Itse, adding that if enough states stood up to Washington then they would have to pay attention.
     
    In response to increasing federal encroachment,
    a growing number of states have passed and proposed resolutions to assert the Tenth Amendment and the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.
     
    Washington, New Hampshire, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, California, and Georgia have all introduced bills and resolutions declaring sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment. Colorado, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine, and Illinois are considering such measures.
     
    “This is about enforcing the constitution which states to the government, you’re not the boss of us, we’re the boss of you,” concluded the lawmaker.

     
  • Why is the federal government redeploying troops back to America? As many as 20,000 soldiers are now redeployed in America from overseas. The military is actively training soldiers to handle civilian unrest, riots…. why ? Remember the Posse Comitatus Act ?
     
    The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) in the former Confederate states.
     
    The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the
    Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.
     
  • What is about to happen to America is not going to be pretty. If you think the Feds is going to bail you out and save you, you are in for a rude shock! See also :

  2. [...] I am not a fan of guns. But the federal government has increasingly attacked the constitutional rights of Americans, spying on citizens illegally, lying to get Americans to go to war…. Is the Feds planning for martial law? It will be easier to control citizens and oppress them if they don’t have guns! Do they plan to institute the military draft? When all your sons are serving in the military, who is going to defend their families? I do not trust the US government. They are becoming more and more fascist! Am I paranoid? Maybe?!
