The Military Will Help Police to Quell "Civil Unrest"

Alex Jones' Infowars:

"'Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,' writes [Ret.] Lt. Col. Nathan Freir for the U.S. Army War College. 'Deliberate employment of weapons of mass destruction or other catastrophic capabilities, unforeseen economic collapse, loss of functioning political and legal order, purposeful domestic resistance or insurgency, pervasive public health emergencies, and catastrophic natural and human disasters are all paths to disruptive domestic shock.'” (Emphasis added.)

In other words, any organized political response to the engineered bankster economic crisis will be considered “resistance or insurgency” and will be dealt with by the military and militarized local law enforcement, the former trained to kill people and break things." (Emphasis Mine.)

Paranoid? Conspiracy theory crap? Okay, here's a question: What single legal principle--by itself--makes the use of military force on domestic soil subject to civil law, and thus preserves the right of citizens against unfair seizure?

Go ahead. Think about it. The answer is habeas corpus. "(A) legal principle which requires that the government must present an accused and arrested person before an impartial judge in order to prove that there exists just cause to hold that person against his or her will. 

Without the Writ of Habeas Corpus (traditionally called the "Great Writ"), a government could hold a person in jail for any length of time without having to prove that there is any good reason for doing so. Thus, if you are being held by the government, you can request a writ of habeas corpus and, if a court issues it, then the government must bring you to that court and demonstrate that they have arrested you for a compelling reason. If they cannot, then they must set you free." (Emphasis Mine.)

Under civil law, the arrest of a citizen by military personnel is subject to habeas corpus. But guess what right was suspended, now subject to "mere suspicion" and beholden to no obligation to bring an arrested person before a judge? Here's what the new statute is: "Once a person is detained... no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider any claim or cause of action whatsoever … relating to the prosecution, trial, or judgment of a military commission under this chapter, including challenges to the lawfulness of procedures of military commissions." (Emphasis Mine.)

Yes, the phrasing is for military commissions, delineated as military units carrying out mission orders as defined by the government command structure.

Do you see where that leads Us? Do you? The government defines "the crisis," assigns military personnel to "control the situation," grants "imperial" arrest and incarceration powers to the military and police (under "security" provisions, if nothing else) and can ignore your most basic, most fundamental and most powerful right which is the right to have your jailers--the government--show whatever "evidence" they claim to have...or set you free.

The nation with the largest prison population in the world has set itself up to make you a part of that minority, whenever they choose, for whatever reason they can trump up and keep you in that minority for as long as they please.

O'er the land of the free...
