On March 4, 2009, Michael “Savage” Weiner claimed to expose the dictatorial machinations of the Obama administration on his nationally syndicated radio show. “Right now what we have is a dictatorship run by a gang,” Weiner declared. “It’s a gang under Obama.”
In the eight minute audio clip here, Weiner provides us with a rambling dissertation on Obama, presumed gang leader Rahm Emanuel, and the Democrats, allegedly a group of devious people Weiner has previously described as Nazis or Nazi-like.
Indeed, the Obama movement demonstrates classic fascist tendencies, although these are not Nazi or Nazi-like, as Weiner has claimed. It is difficult to believe the highly intelligent Weiner is incapable of telling the difference.
Weiner’s repeated references to the Nazis are designed to conjure up imagery deeply embedded in our cultural landscape and place it within a contrived and polarized false right-left context. It is no mistake Weiner attributes Nazism to the so-called left side of this paradigm while essentially ignoring the fascistic attributes apparent on the other side of the political spectrum (in order to balance this, he claims to have staunchly opposed the Bush administration, although this opposition was primarily in regard to the contrived “war on terror” and Weiner’s incessant claim the neocons did not go far enough in their effort to confront a non-existent “Islamofascism,” that is to say kill large numbers of Muslims and Arabs).
In fact, there is little difference between (for lack of better terminology) the neocon and neolib factions, although the political establishment and the corporate media have a vested interest in magnifying minor differences and turning these into major ideological divisions (e.g., the partisan politics between Republicans and Democrats concentrating primarily on social issues that do not threaten the larger political arrangement concocted by the ruling elite).
At 28 seconds into the audio here, Michael Weiner predicts a “Reichstag fire-like event” in the United States “that will have been conducted by the government and blamed upon subversive elements in order to permit a naked dictatorship to emerge in this country.”For Weiner, this event is now possible under the rule of Democrats and the putative Obama Nazis, never mind over the last eight years the Bush administration set the stage for a “Reichstag fire-like event” leading to a full-blown dictatorship, primarily through a series of presidential signing statements and contorted legal arguments designed to nullify large portions of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Bush’s incremental abrogation of the Constitution was not an aberration — it was part of an orchestrated plan to decimate the rights of the American people and erect the foundation for a dictatorship that will come under the make-believe rule of Barack Obama, who is indeed a front man, although Weiner disputes this in order to portray Obama as Hitler-li
Michael Weiner is a skilled disinformation operative. It is his task to demonize the Obama administration as a crypto-Marxist revolutionary force (Marxism and Nazism are interchangeable for Weiner) that has captured the government and will usher in a brutal dictatorship. In doing so, Weiner steers his listeners away from the real source of power at the helm of government — the international banking elite and their servants in the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group. Weiner’s task is to deflect blame for this coming dictatorship on the left side of the counterfeit right-left political spectrum.
In his diatribe, Weiner does not name the “subversive elements” to be blamed for the false flag operation he predicts (actually he has hijacked this prediction from Alex Jones and others). It will not be the Democrats, Republicans or Rush Limbaugh (mentioned as a thorn in Obama’s side) who will feel the blunt force blow delivered in response to this “Reichstag fire-like event” — it will be those standing in opposition to the real tyrants on Wall Street and the European centers of banking. The FEMA camps are not for the likes of Michael “Savage” Weiner and his bamboozled listeners because they do not pose a threat to the establishment.

The authorities may lawfully conduct searches and electronic surveillance against United States citizens in foreign countries without a warrant, a federal appeals court panel said on Monday, bolstering the government’s power to investigate terrorism by ruling that a key constitutional protection afforded to Americans does not apply overseas.
The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in Manhattan, came in the case of three Al Qaeda terrorists convicted a few months before 9/11 in a conspiracy that involved the 1998 bombings of two American embassies in East Africa.
The court did not address the question of whether the government could conduct warrantless wiretaps of international calls involving people in the United States, an issue that drove a wedge between the Bush administration and Congress. But the ruling did give footing to those who say that terrorism suspects can be successfully and effectively prosecuted in civilian courts.

Senator James Inhofe has revealed that Henry Paulson was behind the threats of martial law and a new great depression prior to the passage of the bailout bill, having made such warnings during a conference call on September 19th, around two weeks before the legislation was eventually approved by both the Senate and Congress.
As we reported at the time, on October 2, Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman gave a stunning speech on the House floor during which he decried the fact that, “Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day, another couple of thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no.”
A few days before, Rep. Michael Burgess also told the House, “Mr. Speaker I understand we are under Martial Law as declared by the speaker last night,” referring to a temporary suspension of the rules and procedures of Congress by its leaders so that a bill can be passed quickly.
But the origin of the most dire warnings about physical martial law in America, to which Sherman was likely referring, has now been exposed.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Speaking on Tulsa Oklahoma’s 1170 KFAQ, when asked who was behind threats of martial law and civil unrest if the bailout bill failed, Senator James Inhofe named Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson as the source.
“Somebody in D.C. was feeding you guys quite a story prior to the bailout, a story that if we didn’t do this we were going to see something on the scale of the depression, there were people talking about martial law being instituted, civil unrest….who was feeding you guys this stuff?,” asked host Pat Campbell.
“That’s Henry Paulson,” responded Inhofe, “We had a conference call early on, it was on a Friday I think – a week and half before the vote on Oct. 1. So it would have been the middle … what was it – the 19th of September, we had a conference call. In this conference call – and I guess there’s no reason for me not to repeat what he said, but he said – he painted this picture you just described. He said, ‘This is serious. This is the most serious thing that we faced.’”
Inhofe said that Paulson told members of Congress the crisis would be “far worse than the great depression” if Congress didn’t authorize the bill to buy out toxic debt, a proposal “which he abandoned the day after he got the money,” added Inhofe.
Inhofe is referring to the controversy last week when it emerged that the bailout money was not going to buy up toxic debt but instead Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, had pulled a bait and switch and ordered the money be injected directly into banks.
Senator Inhofe has slammed the secrecy surrounding the destination of the bailout money, saying that Hank Paulson could have given it to his friends and that the “blank check” must be cancelled now.
Inhofe is now trying to rally support for a freeze on what’s left of the initial $350 billion of bailout money with his “roll back the bailout” proposal, which will also require an affirmative vote on the part of Congress to approve Treasury’s plan for the remaining $350 billion.
Watch the clip from Inhofe’s interview below.

"Martial law" is a euphemism for military dictatorship. When foreign democracies are overthrown and a junta establishes martial law, Americans usually recognize that a fundamental change has occurred. . . . Section 1076 is Enabling Act-type legislation—something that purports to preserve law-and-order while formally empowering the president to rule by decree.
Corbett Report
October 9, 2008
The plans to implement martial law in America have been taking shape for decades, hidden behind “Continuity of Government” contingency planning. Now, with public outcry over the banker bailout bill at fever pitch, all of the pieces are in place for the U.S. Army to start policing American citizens.
3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team returning from Iraq for homeland patrols to help with “civil unrest” and “crowd control,” training in use of non-lethal weapons

U.S. troops returning from duty in Iraq will be carrying out homeland patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil unrest and crowd control” - which could include dealing with unruly Americans after a complete economic collapse.
This shocking admission was calmly reported on September 8th by the Army Times website, which reports that from the beginning of next month the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team “Will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command, as an on-call federal response force for natural or manmade emergencies and disasters, including terrorist attacks.”
The article notes that the deployment “marks the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities.”
The purpose of the unit’s patrols includes helping “with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.”
The unit will be on homeland patrol for at least 20 months before returning to Iraq or Afghanistan in early 2010, according to the report.
Training for homeland operations has already begun at Fort Stewart and at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.
Ominously, the report states that, “The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.”

The unit would also be deployed to deal with hostile crowds of Americans in the aftermath of a massive economic depression, potential food riots and race riots, if one defines the term “crowd control” to match its reasonably applicable scenarios.
The open admission that U.S. troops will be involved in law enforcement operations as well as potentially using non-lethal weapons against American citizens is a complete violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, which substantially limit the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement unless under precise and extreme circumstances.
Section 1385 of the Posse Comitatus Act states, “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

Under the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, signed by President Bush on October 17, 2006, the law was changed to state, “The President may employ the armed forces to restore public order in any State of the United States the President determines hinders the execution of laws or deprives people of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.”
However, these changes were repealed in their entirety by HR 4986: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, reverting back to the original state of the Insurrection Act of 1807.
The original text of the Insurrection Act severely limits the power of the President to deploy troops within the United States.
For troops to be deployed, a condition has to exist that, “(1) So hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”
Is the Bush administration and Northcom waiting for such a scenario to unfold, an event that completely overwhelms state authorities, before unleashing the might of the U.S. Army against the American people?
The deployment of National Guard troops to aid law enforcement or for disaster relief purposes is legal under the authority of the governor of a state, but using active duty U.S. Army in law enforcement operations inside America absent the conditions described in the Insurrection Act is completely illegal.
With the promise of an “October surprise” on behalf of Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda being bandied about by the media and the potential for civil unrest should a complete collapse of the U.S. economy unfold, the presence of U.S. troops inside America, returning fresh from kicking down doors, arresting “insurgents” and taking them to internment camps in Iraq, should put Americans on alert and provoke urgent questions about the legality of U.S. Army units engaging in law enforcement operations against American citizens.


David Edwards and Nick Juliano![]() A once-abandoned town in the middle of the New Mexico desert now is victim to "more bombings than Jerusalem ... more terrorist attacks that Baghdad," the Associated Press reports. A video report profiles Playas, NM, a full-scale training ground for Federal Emergency Management Agency classes that give law enforcement agencies experience dealing with all manners of disasters. "Just a few years ago it was a ghost town abandoned after a large mining company pulled out," the AP's Rich Matthews reports. "Today, it's a training ground for the unthinkable: Nuclear attacks, invasions and suicide bombings in the United States." At one point about a thousand people lived in Playas, most of whom worked at a nearby copper plant owned by the Phelps Dodge company. Now only 25 families call Playas home, after the company shut down the copper plant in 1999. Of those, five aren't even related to the FEMA training operations, Matthews reports. The Center for Land Use Interpretation says the demand for terror training has helped the town. In 2004 New Mexico Tech (NMT) purchased Playas outright from Phelps-Dodge, using a $5 million grant from the Department of Homeland Security to begin converting the town into the nation’s primary counter-terrorism training facility. Training will include first responder and hostage negotiation, urban warfare and WMD exercises (including simulated nuclear, chemical and biological attacks) as well as terrorism related border security programs. Citizens of Playas and surrounding areas, indeed much of New Mexico, are thrilled at this much needed inflow of cash and jobs. The nation’s burden of war and debt has a direct, positive effect on this corner of the union.Life for these families isn't quite normal, but they tell the AP they're adjusting OK. "We have helicopters in the middle of the night flying overhead and explosions that can take place at all hours," resident Kim Kvame says. "It gets to be a part of the background noise that just lets you know you're home after a while." This video is from The Associated Press, broadcast March 26, 2008. |
