President Obama plans to use military drones in the skies over the
United States to assassinate journalists, patriots and critics of his
administration. That’s the inescapable conclusion from the emerging
pattern of evidence now publicly available — keep reading for details.
Front and center in this pattern of evidence is
the 16-page memo that was just released
by Obama’s lawyers in the Department of Justice. This memo puts forth a
“legal justification” for the President to order the drone
assassination of any American citizen he names — anytime, anywhere, for
any reason. This new power claimed by the President has no basis in
federal law or the Constitution. It is an invented power of absolute
tyranny that puts the power to decide who lives and who dies in the
hands of one man. This document essentially
legalizes the President acting as a serial murderer.
It is claimed that the purpose of this new power to simply name any
American the President doesn’t like and immediately have them struck by a
Hellfire missile launched from a drone is designed to “protect
America.” Yet the 16-page memo that claims to justify all this was
intentionally written to include Americans on U.S. soil as potential targets.
As Judge Andrew Napolitano explained just a few days ago on
Fox News:
“This 16-page white paper is written so vaguely that the logic from
it could… permit the President to kill Americans here in the United
States.”
That’s the whole point, actually. If Americans on U.S. soil were to
be excluded from such drone assassinations, such language would have
been made readily apparent in the memo. But no such language is found in
the memo. In fact, the tone of the document quite clearly states that
the President has the authority to order drone killings of U.S. citizens
anywhere in the world, under any circumstances.
This legal manipulation even has U.S. Senators worried. Democrat
Senator Patrick J Leahy and Senator Charles Grassley sent a letter to
Obama
on Friday, stating, “The deliberate killing of a United States citizen
pursuant to a targeted operation authorized or aided by our government
raises significant constitutional and legal concerns.”
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
That’s the understatement of the year.
U.S. Senators are trying to create an “oversight committee” so that a
few of them are part of the illegal, unconstitutional decision process
of which Americans the U.S. government should murder next. As
Kurt Nimmo reports with InfoWars.com:
Feinstein has proposed “legislation to ensure that drone strikes
are carried out in a manner consistent with our values, and the proposal
to create an analogue of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to
review the conduct of such strikes,” in other words a secret tribunal
that will hand down kill orders for Americans the government believes
are “suspected militants.”
If drones are to be unleashed under the values of Feinstein — an
outright traitor to the nation and a serial violator of the U.S.
Constitution — then God help us all. Remember, Feinstein is the Senator
who has already said she wants all Americans to
turn all their guns in. She literally wants the entire U.S. civilian population disarmed so that
government has all the weapons, including drones which Feinstein wants flying over U.S. cities, ready to strike named American citizens at any moment.
The American “battlefield” doctrine and the NDAA
In defending the drone assassination powers of the President, you
might hear language used that says drones will “only be used on the
battlefield.” That seems to imply they will only be used in the Middle
East, right?
Wrong.
The USA has been legally defined as the new “battlefield” by the NDAA. That’s the
National Defense Authorization Act
which also allows for the arrest and indefinite detention of American
citizens without trial, without legal representation and even without
them ever being charged.
The USA is the new “battlefield,” and when you combine the NDAA and
the DOJ’s new drone killing justification memo, you now have the claimed
legal framework for any American on U.S. soil to be arrested, detained,
tortured or blown to bits without warning and without even a single
shred of evidence being presented against him.
Yes, this is
America
today. Right now. You are living under a military dictatorship and most
of you don’t even realize it yet. Even liberals and progressives are
starting to wake up to Obama’s tyranny, by the way. On Democracy Now,
Daniel Ellsberg recently described Obama’s actions as a “
systematic assault on the Constitution.”
Who are the terrorists?
Of course, anyone who raises these points will be immediately
dismissed with the claim that all this new power in the hands of the
President will only be used “against terrorists.”
Okay, then who are the terrorists, exactly? It turns out they are YOU!
As Judge Napolitano recently explained:
The [Janet Napolitano DHS] memorandum said that people who are
pro-life, people who believe in the right to keep and bear arms,
returning veterans, people who think the government is too big and the
IRS is too powerful, could be characterized as domestic terrorists. That
could characterize two-thirds of the country. (

Another DHS report named as terrorists
anyone who opposes illegal immigration, abortion or federal taxes.
The pieces of the puzzle
So now it all becomes clear:
1) The NDAA legalized the federal government arresting, detaining and
torturing American citizens if they were classified as “terrorists.”
2) The DOJ drone-killing memo legalized the President murdering anyone he names by simply
claimingthey might be associated with “terrorists.”
3) The DHS announces that anyone who isn’t an absolutely Big Government boot-licker and Obama worshipper IS A TERRORIST.
And there you have it: The full circle of justification to use military
drone strikes against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Simply call them terrorists, and the rest of the legal framework backs you up.
I repeat: All that is necessary to justify the murder of American citizens without trial is
labeling them “terrorists” even with no evidence to support such a claim. The drone killings require no evidence. They only require the signature of one man.
Who is likely on the drone strike target list in the USA
So who is most likely to be assassinated by President Obama once drone strikes are fully unleashed in the USA?
• Journalists.
• Political opponents.
• Anti-government protesters. (One Hellfire missile takes ‘em all out.)
• Online activists.
• Veterans.
• Gun owners and gun shops.
• Constitutionalists and libertarians.
Drone strikes are completely silent because the Hellfire missiles
arrive faster than the speed of sound. You don’t even hear the missile
until after the explosion. The blast radius of a Hellfire missile is 15 –
20 meters, and everything inside that radius is completely obliterated.
This is more than enough to destroy entire homes, apartments and office
buildings, not to mention vehicles and even light bunkers.
World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah actually voiced his concern about
Obama being reelected, saying that he believed Obama would “kill
journalists” if he won a second term. Farah is not being paranoid. He’s
right on the money with where this is going.

Drones are weapons of tyranny
In the history of America,
rifles are the weapons of liberty, and in any war limited to just rifles and similar weapons, the People will always achieve victory over tyranny.
But tyrannies tend to rise up when specialized, highly-complex
weapons come onto the scene, creating an imbalance of military power
that suppresses the People. Drones are that new weapon: There is
virtually no citizen defense against drones, and drones can strike
targets anyone in the country with zero warning. You do not get called
to appear in court, you do not get arrested, and you do not receive a
warning. You’re simply
murdered by the U.S. President without warning and without a trial. That’s the new America.
The cover story: Drone strikes that actually take out the homes of
Obama’s political enemies can even be explained away as “bombings” using
conventional explosives. A convenient cover story can keep drones out
of the news, even while drone strikes are taking out
journalists, activists and critics of the criminal Obama regime.
You might wonder, then, what is the strategy for defending against drones? It all comes down to
men with rifles raiding drone airfields
and taking them over. Once again, rifles become the single most
important tool of resistance in the face of tyranny, which is exactly
why the government is right now desperately seeking to register and
confiscate all rifles in the hands of U.S. citizens. The MQ-1C Warrior
drone has an operational range of 675 miles, meaning that drone
airfields must be relatively close to intended targets. The airfields
are the weak link, and this is what Americans must take back if
drone mass murder is unleashed against American citizens (by any president, now or in the future).
There are also some high-tech defenses against drones. Iran appears
to have hacked a drone by feeding it false GPS signals, guiding it to
land on an Iranian runway where it was then taken into custody by the
government there. This sort of GPS hacking appears to be relatively
simple to accomplish, but the technique has never been proven in an
actual military conflict.
Another defense against drones is to
stay on the move.
Don’t hole up in fixed locations for long periods of time. Drone
strikes are only effective if the intended target’s location is known
with certainty. In a resistance
war
against a tyrannical government, resistance forces will of course
remain very mobile and unpredictable in their locations and movements.
This will cause the government to waste lots of Hellfire missiles
blowing up empty houses and likely killing the wrong people.
Every drone strike against U.S. targets will, of course, enrage the
population even further, resulting in yet another mass wave of
recruitment into the resistance. The more Americans Obama (or another
president) kills with drones, the more powerful the resistance becomes.
This spiral continues until there is either a violent armed overthrow of
the government or the entire resistance movement is mass murdered by
the government itself. In the case of the latter, that’s how we end up
with Hitler, Stalin, Mao and other dictatorial tyrants who assume power
in the aftermath of blood running in the streets.
Stop being so naive — this is happening NOW!
If you think any of this seems outlandish,
you aren’t paying attention.
The 16-page drone assassination memo has already been published. The
NDAA is federal law. The DHS memos are real. All of us who question
government, who own firearms, and who believe in the Bill of Rights have
already been named terrorists.
The stage is being set to wage an all-out war with the American people. That’s the reason DHS has purchased
1.6 billion rounds of ammo. It’s the reason DHS is buying
7,000 full-auto assault rifles. All these weapons and ammo are for exclusive use
inside the United States of America, on U.S. soil.
This is why
thousands of bulletproof roadside checkpoints have been purchased by DHS.
It’s why steel cable dividers are being installed on highways, so that
you can’t turn around when approaching a TSA checkpoint. This is why
talk of shooting gun owners is openly tolerated and even encouraged in
the mainstream media and on social networks.
We are witnessing a full-on ramping up toward total war with the
American people. This war will be caused (false-flagged) by the
government itself, and it will be waged on U.S. soil, using drone
assassinations, nationwide gun confiscation, FEMA camps and of course a
declaration of Martial Law to justify it all.
The end game is a complete takeover of America by socialist /
communist / fascist forces and the outright abolition of liberties and
firearms in the hands of citizens.
America is scheduled for termination,
and people like Obama have been placed in power precisely because he
can fool enough people for a sufficient amount of time to get this plan
underway without popular resistance. Obama is seductive and hypnotic, so
his followers will think he’s helping America even while he’s actually
destroying it by design.
Drones are
terminators in the sky, controlled by one
man — a tyrant who sits in the Oval Office and respects no boundaries
of either the Constitution or federal law.
He makes law up as he goes along, betraying his oath of office and violating the very tenants of justice upon which this country was founded.
Obama is a traitor to America and a danger to us all. For the sake of
America’s future, he must be impeached, thrown out of office and
replaced with a President who actually upholds the Constitution and
respects the laws of the land.
