NULLIFY! By Jim Kirwan 12-10-11




NULLIFY!

This is a relatively new term in American political strategy. For those disappointed in the criminal-misrepresentations of "OCCUPY" ­ NULLIFY brings with it the ability for the public to act in direct accordance with the Constitution to rid ourselves of unwanted and unwarranted intrusions into the daily life of most Americans. Use of the 10th Amendment would also help to put the FEDERALIZATION of this nation, back into the cage it was born in.

"Adoption of the Constitution of 1787 was opposed by a number of well-known patriots including Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and others. They passionately argued that the Constitution would eventually lead to a strong, centralized state power which would destroy the individual liberty of the People. Many in this movement were given the poorly-named tag "Anti-Federalists."
The Tenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of 1787 largely because of the intellectual influence and personal persistence of the Anti-Federalists and their allies.

It's quite clear that the Tenth Amendment was written to emphasize the limited nature of the powers delegated to the federal government. In delegating just specific powers to the federal government, the states and the people, with some small exceptions, were free to continue exercising their sovereign powers.

Adherence to the Tenth Amendment is the first step towards ensuring liberty in the United States. Liberty through decentralization." (1)

How did we get to this impasse between outlaws inside government, who decided to just take over the government and the nation, without bothering to make any attempt at doing this legally? Some background is necessary.

After the end of WWII, the world began to slip not-so-quietly into the Cold War which was basically between theUSSR and the USA. To perhaps greatly over-simplify this situation, for purposes of space and clarity, it went something like this. There was a standoff between the Stalinist powers and the WEST that very quickly began to escalate to a global standoff that was dealt with through mutually-assured-destruction. That meant that neither side could gain a full advantage because each side could still retaliate against the other even after a nuclear attack had been launched. This uneasy situation kept the first strike from ever being launched by either side, because the resulting conflagration was thought not to be survivable.

On August 13 of 1961 the first stage of the Berlin Wall was erected. It was to stand for the separation of the Communist world (The USSR) from the Western Satellite City of West Berlin. Eventually it was 92 miles long and roughly 12 feet high and it became a symbol around the world for isolation and tyranny the world-over. It finally came down in 1989 to the cheers and joy of most of the world because so many had promised us all a Generation of Peace, if the Cold War ever ended.

From the mid-1980's when Reagan and his Death-Squad mentality began to outspend the Russians to the point where the USSR began to have to face collapse and possible ruin: until 1989 when the Wall came down: The Cold War had begun to fizzle out. After the Wall fell, the West was presented with an unusual opportunity to step in and assist the crippled Russian economy with getting back on the road to peace. Afterall there was a promised PEACE that the world was still waiting for. Ronnie chose instead to open the new and smaller nation of Russia to global criminal syndicates and by using massive and usurious terms that the Russians virtually had to accept, but have still not forgotten: The USA began to create the next big boogey-men and women-this time from the Muslim World, because they composed over a third of the world and they remained staunchly opposed to Rockefeller and his filthy Debtor's Banks, around the rest of the world.

It was at about this time that the US began to rely more and more heavily upon their Zionist owners in Israel, to keep everything either on fire or under fire, until ever-greater destabilization efforts could be completed. For us it seemed to begin with Iran and the Shah in Iraq, along with Mubarak, and then it kept on moving thru other Arab states, so that there were puppet-governments surrounding Israel, to comfort our scorpion-state that would attack anyone or everyone that she felt threatened her global desires for "That ever Greater State of Israel." But even that was not enough.

In 2005, Israel began construction on her "Separation Wall." It would be 403 miles long and roughly 25 feet high. It is still being constructed today. This WALL was paid for by US Taxpayers! The WALL continues because Israelis terrified by the impoverished Palestinians that she has disenfranchised and kept impoverished by design. The Wall is there to protect the savages which she euphemistically calls "Settlers" but who would be considered outright Barbarians by any other nation, if that is any other nation would have these primitive-savages on any terms. (2)

This global-situation has provided the global-drumbeat for a far more militant world than anyone expected after that WALL in Berlin was torn down. However the same kind of thinking that ignited this new Colonialism on behalf of USI and was also behind the steady erosion of the US Constitution and the criminal-federalization of what was once the USA. So what we have now is a near-perfect storm where we are about to lose not just our financial stability, but our nation and our rights as well as suddenly being faced by yet another World War. And all of this is being brought to us by the same "artificial powers" that started and financed both WWI & WWII!

It was against this backdrop that "OCCUPY" chose to make its appearance not just here but around the world, beginning in 2003. This was an exercise to show the world that peaceful demonstrations were and are pointless against mercenary troops or criminal-government troops hell-bent on retaining power, wherever they are. This was supposed to result in some new faces pasted over the same fascist-policies in the countries where the promoters of Occupy created their road-shows. Here in the US they got away with it for a few months until their money-pipeline was unearthed so that the public could see who and how and why there was an OCCUPY "movement" here. It's still not dead but it has finally been recognized for what it is, a massively false beacon that was intended to assist in defeating us - not in liberating or empowering anyone or anything. Into this melee now comes NULLIFY!

Here are some quotes from the trailer for the film " Nullification."

"The Federal Government is NOT our boss. We need to quit calling them Federal Laws: They are Unconstitutional Federal Actions, because they don't rise to the level of law." "Don't ask for Permission, don't wait for permission they're never going to give it ­ start doin' what you know is right and true." (3)

If people check out what is being said herein about the money and the sponsors BEFORE getting involved, then maybe this might offer some direction to those disenfranchised 'OCCUPY" sympathizers?

I don't profess "to know" because I just want this government gone. But there are millions of people who simply cannot believe that this treachery could ever be dissolved-and at least this way people will have a chance to come together to try one-more-time to get some accountability out of the massively criminal enterprise that I believe this entire country is still suffering under and 'from.'

In the meantime the WALL in Israel ought to be torn down long before it is ever completed because this wall is actually worse for the world than was the Berlin Wall from which today's Nazi's have taken their message to the world at large!

We had a real chance with the fall of the Berlin Wall to unite this planet but we let these petty pirates steal that chance and plunge us all into this horrific nightmare. If we want real changes then we're going to have to take the power back from those we gave it to, oh so very long ago. There is no other way because POWER never willingly releases even the smallest amount of power without a fight!

Hartmann: Fukushima...Has the China Syndrome now officially begun?


Over the weekend - the crippled Japanese nuclear plant spewed even more highly radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean - roughly 45,000 liters in all. According to a French nuclear research institute - since the Fukushima nuclear crisis began in March - the plant has leaked more radioactive material into the ocean than has ever happened before in the history of the planet. And he claims that after more than 8 months since an earthquake and tsunami triggered this crisis - it's inevitable that nuclear fuel has leaked into the groundwater - meaning the "China Syndrome" is officially upon us. He also warned that if underground water gets overheated - it could trigger a hydrovolcanic explosion. So what does all this mean? Time to ditch nuclear power - the most expensive and dangerous form of energy on Earth.

The shocking truth about the crackdown on Occupy


Occupy Wall Street protester Brandon Watts lies injured on the ground after clashes with police over the eviction of OWS from Zuccotti Park.

US citizens of all political persuasions are still reeling from images of unparallelled police brutality in a coordinated crackdown against peaceful OWS protesters in cities across the nation this past week. An elderly woman was pepper-sprayed in the face; the scene of unresisting, supine students at UC Davis being pepper-sprayed by phalanxes of riot police went viral online; images proliferated of young women – targeted seemingly for their gender – screaming, dragged by the hair by police in riot gear; and the pictures of a young man, stunned and bleeding profusely from the head, emerged in the record of the middle-of-the-night clearing of Zuccotti Park. But just when Americans thought we had the picture – was this crazy police and mayoral overkill, on a municipal level, in many different cities? – the picture darkened. The National Union of Journalists and the Committee to Protect Journalists issued a Freedom of Information Act request to investigate possible federal involvement with law enforcement practices that appeared to target journalists. The New York Times reported that "New York cops have arrested, punched, whacked, shoved to the ground and tossed a barrier at reporters and photographers" covering protests. Reporters were asked by NYPD to raise their hands to prove they had credentials: when many dutifully did so, they were taken, upon threat of arrest, away from the story they were covering, and penned far from the site in which the news was unfolding. Other reporters wearing press passes were arrested and roughed up by cops, after being – falsely – informed by police that "It is illegal to take pictures on the sidewalk."

In New York, a state supreme court justice and a New York City council member were beaten up; in Berkeley, California, one of our greatest national poets, Robert Hass, was beaten with batons. The picture darkened still further when Wonkette and Washingtonsblog.com reported that the Mayor of Oakland acknowledged that the Department of Homeland Security had participated in an 18-city mayor conference call advising mayors on "how to suppress" Occupy protests.

To Europeans, the enormity of this breach may not be obvious at first. Our system of government prohibits the creation of a federalised police force, and forbids federal or militarised involvement in municipal peacekeeping.

I noticed that rightwing pundits and politicians on the TV shows on which I was appearing were all on-message against OWS. Journalist Chris Hayes reported on a leaked memo that revealed lobbyists vying for an $850,000 contract to smear Occupy. Message coordination of this kind is impossible without a full-court press at the top. This was clearly not simply a case of a freaked-out mayors', city-by-city municipal overreaction against mess in the parks and cranky campers. As the puzzle pieces fit together, they began to show coordination against OWS at the highest national levels.

Why this massive mobilisation against these not-yet-fully-articulated, unarmed, inchoate people? After all, protesters against the war in Iraq, Tea Party rallies and others have all proceeded without this coordinated crackdown. Is it really the camping? As I write, two hundred young people, with sleeping bags, suitcases and even folding chairs, are still camping out all night and day outside of NBC on public sidewalks – under the benevolent eye of an NYPD cop – awaiting Saturday Night Live tickets, so surely the camping is not the issue. I was still deeply puzzled as to why OWS, this hapless, hopeful band, would call out a violent federal response.

That is, until I found out what it was that OWS actually wanted.

The mainstream media was declaring continually "OWS has no message". Frustrated, I simply asked them. I began soliciting online "What is it you want?" answers from Occupy. In the first 15 minutes, I received 100 answers. These were truly eye-opening.

The No 1 agenda item: get the money out of politics. Most often cited was legislation to blunt the effect of the Citizens United ruling, which lets boundless sums enter the campaign process. No 2: reform the banking system to prevent fraud and manipulation, with the most frequent item being to restore the Glass-Steagall Act – the Depression-era law, done away with by President Clinton, that separates investment banks from commercial banks. This law would correct the conditions for the recent crisis, as investment banks could not take risks for profit that create kale derivatives out of thin air, and wipe out the commercial and savings banks.

No 3 was the most clarifying: draft laws against the little-known loophole that currently allows members of Congress to pass legislation affecting Delaware-based corporations in which they themselves are investors.

When I saw this list – and especially the last agenda item – the scales fell from my eyes. Of course, these unarmed people would be having the shit kicked out of them.

For the terrible insight to take away from news that the Department of Homeland Security coordinated a violent crackdown is that the DHS does not freelance. The DHS cannot say, on its own initiative, "we are going after these scruffy hippies". Rather, DHS is answerable up a chain of command: first, to New York Representative Peter King, head of the House homeland security subcommittee, who naturally is influenced by his fellow congressmen and women's wishes and interests. And the DHS answers directly, above King, to the president (who was conveniently in Australia at the time).

In other words, for the DHS to be on a call with mayors, the logic of its chain of command and accountability implies that congressional overseers, with the blessing of the White House, told the DHS to authorise mayors to order their police forces – pumped up with millions of dollars of hardware and training from the DHS – to make war on peaceful citizens.

But wait: why on earth would Congress advise violent militarised reactions against its own peaceful constituents? The answer is straightforward: in recent years, members of Congress have started entering the system as members of the middle class (or upper middle class) – but they are leaving DC privy to vast personal wealth, as we see from the "scandal" of presidential contender Newt Gingrich's having been paid $1.8m for a few hours' "consulting" to special interests. The inflated fees to lawmakers who turn lobbyists are common knowledge, but the notion that congressmen and women are legislating their own companies' profitsis less widely known – and if the books were to be opened, they would surely reveal corruption on a Wall Street spectrum. Indeed, we do already know that congresspeople are massively profiting from trading on non-public information they have on companies about which they are legislating – a form of insider trading that sent Martha Stewart to jail.

Since Occupy is heavily surveilled and infiltrated, it is likely that the DHS and police informers are aware, before Occupy itself is, what its emerging agenda is going to look like. If legislating away lobbyists' privileges to earn boundless fees once they are close to the legislative process, reforming the banks so they can't suck money out of fake derivatives products, and, most critically, opening the books on a system that allowed members of Congress to profit personally – and immensely – from their own legislation, are two beats away from the grasp of an electorally organised Occupy movement … well, you will call out the troops on stopping that advance.

So, when you connect the dots, properly understood, what happened this week is the first battle in a civil war; a civil war in which, for now, only one side is choosing violence. It is a battle in which members of Congress, with the collusion of the American president, sent violent, organised suppression against the people they are supposed to represent. Occupy has touched the third rail: personal congressional profits streams. Even though they are, as yet, unaware of what the implications of their movement are, those threatened by the stirrings of their dreams of reform are not.

Sadly, Americans this week have come one step closer to being true brothers and sisters of the protesters in Tahrir Square. Like them, our own national leaders, who likely see their own personal wealth under threat from transparency and reform, are now making war upon us.

UC Davis Chancellor Katehi walks to her car (higher quality)


This is an amazing, beautiful, powerful way to protest. Only two idiot journalists fuck up (probably on purpose!) and are told "Please respect our protest of silence" before Kathei can even respond....
