Bush Outlaws All War Protest In United States
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
In one of his most chilling moves to date against his own citizens, the
American War Leader has issued a sweeping order this week outlawing all
forms of protest against the Iraq war.
President Bush enacted into US law an ‘Executive Order’ on July 17th
titled "Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization
Efforts in Iraq", and which says:
"By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, including the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq.)(IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et
seq.)(NEA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that,
due to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States posed by acts of violence
threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to
promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to
provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, it is in the
interests of the United States to take additional steps with respect to
the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22,
2003, and expanded in Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, and
relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13350 of July
29, 2004, and Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004."
According to Russian legal experts, the greatest concern to the American
people are the underlying provisions of this new law, and which, they
state, are written ‘so broadly’ as to outlaw all forms of protest
against the war. These provisions state:
"(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial,
material, logistical, or technical support for, or goods or services in
support of, such an act or acts of violence or any person whose
property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order;
or
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section include, but are
not limited to, (i) the making of any contribution or provision of
funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose
property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order,
and (ii) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods,
or services from any such person.
(c) the term "United States person" means any United States citizen,
permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United
States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign
branches), or any person in the United States.
All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed to take
all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out the
provisions of this order and, where appropriate, to advise the Secretary
of the Treasury in a timely manner of the measures taken."
To the subsection of this new US law, according to these legal experts,
that says "...the making of any contribution or provision of funds,
goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit...", the insertion of the
word ‘services’ has broad, and catastrophic, consequences for the
American people in that any act deemed by their government to be against
the Iraqi war is, in fact, supporting the ‘enemy’ and therefore
threatens the ‘stabilization of Iraq’.
In an even greater affront to the American people are the provisions of
a law called The Patriot Act, and that should they run afoul of this new
law they are forbidden to allow anyone to know about it, and as we can
read as reported by the Seattle Times News Service:
"The [Patriot] act also expands the use of National Security Letters,
which are a kind of warrant that the Justice Department writes for
itself, authorizing its agents to seize such things as records of money
movements, telephone calls and Internet visits. Recipients of a National
Security Letter are not allowed to tell anyone about them, and so cannot
contest them."
It is interesting to note, too, that this is not the first time that the
United States has unleashed the brutal power of their government against
its citizens to further their war aims and stifle domestic dissent, as
during the European conflict of World War I they enacted a law called
The Sedition Act of 1918 and which "...forbade Americans to use
"disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United
States government, flag, or armed forces during war."
It is curious to note that after the enactment of this new law there has
been no protest by any of the other political leaders in the United
States, with the exception of the only Muslim member of the United
States Congress, Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison, and who compared
President Bush to the Nazi War Leader Adolph Hitler by stating the
attacks upon the World Trade Center could be likened to the burning of
the Reichstag.
Today, as the United States faces an imminent economic collapse, while
at the same time its war bill has reached the staggering amount of $648
billion, one of the last freedoms the American people have had to
protest their leaders actions against them, and other peoples in the
World, has now been taken away from them, the freedom to speak and write
in opposition to what is being done to them.
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people
what they do not want to hear.", said the great British writer George
Orwell, but, and sadly, liberty has been lost to the once free people of
the United States who are no longer allowed to tell their leaders, or
each other, what they don’t want to hear.
With this being so, the American people should, likewise, contemplate
their ‘new’ future, and as, also, stated best by George Orwell, "If you
want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -
forever."
