Bush crosses the rubicon, the gun has been loaded, the safety is off, when will the trigger be pulled?

The Bush Junta has quietly "tooled up" to utilize the U.S. military in engaging American dissidents after the next big crisis, with a frightening and overlooked piece of legislation that was passed alongside the Military Commissions Act, which greases the skids for armed confrontation and abolishes posse comitatus.

Frank Morales' recent article, Bush Moves Toward Martial Law, succinctly outlines the nuances of what the bill authorizes and why it is potentially more dangerous to freedom in America than even the Military Commissions Act.

"Public Law 109-364, or the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder."

"Section 1076 of the massive Authorization Act, which grants the Pentagon another $500-plus-billion for its ill-advised adventures, is entitled, "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies." Section 333, "Major public emergencies; interference with State and Federal law" states that "the President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of ("refuse" or "fail" in) maintaining public order, "in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy."

Morales, an Episcopal priest in New York City and an anti-war activist, joined radio host Alex Jones this week to discuss the frightening implications of this legislation.

Morales traced the ancestry of the bill back to "Operation Garden Plot" and the United States Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2, now de-classified programs dating back to the 80's which outlined how the military would be involved in suppressing domestic civil disobedience in America. The groups listed as potential non-conformist troublemakers included tax protesters, militia groups, religious cults, and various other general anti-government dissenters.

"It's very clear that they anticipated reaction to the agenda that they had projected for themselves," said Morales, "they were obviously aware of what they were gonna attempt to do in terms of their world domination project....they estimated quite correctly that there would be reaction on the part of the American people so it's logical in a sense that they would have been moving kind of in tandem with their global maneuvers to oppress us at home."




Morales said that the authorities know full well that a widespread awakening is taking place and so the Defense Authorization Act was essentially part of a move to try and "tool up" for the reaction that will take place after their next lunge to destroy what's left of American liberty.

Morales speculated that the trigger event for the push to use the U.S. military against American dissidents under the bill was right around the corner.

"I think it's gonna be rather soon - we have these elections coming up very soon - that's telling - whether or not they attempt to steal them again, I think there are a number of factors coming together that insinuate the possibility that we're looking at some kind of false-flag operation, maybe an assassination, a bio-terror event....there are a lot of signs pointing to something alone that line in the near future."

Morales was assured that any incident in which the military engaged the public would not resemble a Penn State in that the population would fiercely resist and the military itself would not do the bidding of the Neo-Fascists in the White House.

"When the rubber hits the road and these corporate and military entities attempt to send troops up against us....they're gonna refuse," said Morales, citing efforts to educate government and police locally in anticipation of what is yet to come, "It might come to a situation where the military and the police turn on these people and say this game is over."

"My guess is that if they're foolish enough to go that route, they're gonna be rudely awakened to the fact that the American people are not gonna go up against one another," said Morales, "I think the great majority of the law enforcement people are gonna stick to the Constitution."

Morales stated that we have no choice but to expose 9/11 as an inside job even though it is, "Going to cause a reaction on their part....but the fact is we're gonna gain more credibility because we're speaking the truth, so when it comes down to the final series of confrontations with these people it'll assure our victory - it's never a sin to speak the truth to power."

Morales indicated that although this story had received absolutely no mainstream coverage, there are already moves afoot to repeal many sections of the legislation and many branches of the military and the air force are in opposition to what the bill authorizes. He encouraged a local response by means of recodifying law that protects posse comitatus and clearly prevents the military from engaging in domestic law enforcement, as well as barring national guard troops from operating in other states.
