"US Senate passes new detainee laws", ABC News Online (Australia), September 29, 2006
"The US Senate has passed controversial new guidelines on detaining and prosecuting "war on terror" suspects, over the objections of opponents who say the measure seriously curtails detainees' rights. The laws will allow new military tribunals to be set up to try detainees being held in the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba, including Australian David Hicks. The Senate vote, which was passed 65 to 34, comes a day after its approval by the House of Representatives."
Notice that the Senate vote was almost veto-proof, as 65 of the 100 Senators voted for it.
What makes this bill so dangerous to our way of life? After all, the bill was championed by the White House as a necessary tool to fight terrorism.
"The measure was drafted in response to a US Supreme Court ruling in June that Mr Bush had overstepped his powers and breached the Geneva Conventions by setting up special war crimes tribunals for terrorism suspects. The sweeping legislation sets guidelines to interrogate suspects and will send several hundred inmates held at the Guantanamo Bay to trial after years of detention."
In other words, this bill legalizes the unconstitutional manner in which the Administration intends to arrest, interrogate, try and even execute, its "enemy combatants". Today, those terrorists have the surname "Mohammed", but tomorrow they will have such surnames as Jones and Smith. Never allow anyone to deceive you on this point: average American citizens are the ultimate target, for that is the Illuminati Plan.
Now, let us examine some of the specific horrific parts of this bill:
* The bill allows the Federal Government to "interrogate" prisoners in ways that you and I would find torturous should we be the target -- which one day we shall. Oh, yes, Senator McCain said that the bill adheres to the Geneva Convention and forbids torture, but the reality is best expressed in this one sentence within this above article.
The bill "forbids 'cruel and unusual' punishment of detainees, without further clarification of what falls in that category." THAT is a big enough loophole through which you could drive a long-haul truck. Believe me, prisoners will continue to be tortured, as these next segments make pretty plain.
* "The draft law authorizes special military tribunals to prosecute the Guantanamo detainees ... Since the opening of the Guantanamo Bay camp after the September 11 terrorist attacks, not one of the several hundred prisoners held there has been afforded a trial."
* The bill "allows for secret CIA-run prisons"
* "Detainees will be deprived of all legal recourse to protest the conditions of their detention."
This is the outworking of the original Plan of the Illuminati, i.e., to use the terror attack of 9/11 as the excuse to take away our liberties, rights, and privileges -- and to suspend our Constitutional form of government. Since 9/11, Skull & Bones President Bush has fulfilled this Plan to the letter, with the generous assistance of Congress!
Democrats opposed to this bill did give lip service to the principles upon which this country was founded.
"Most Democrats opposed the administration-backed plan and see it as violating US principles and values by prosecuting terrorists without affording the due process allowed to most defendants in the US criminal justice system. 'We can and must protect what it means to be an American', Democrat Chris Dodd had argued on the Senate floor. 'This longstanding tradition of our country about to be abandoned here is one of the great, great mistakes that I think history will record'."
