October 2011 ~ Jcoin Ster

I'd like to start with some background:

After WWII, the area which is now Osor, Croatia was under the "Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia."
This simplifies down to: The government was communist.

My great uncle, Zio Antonio, and two of his other friends decided to try escaping communism.... on a row boat. Lost without compass, attempting to steer toward Italy, the boat ends up half way down the 1,104 mile long coast of Croatia. Who would imagine that a large fishing boat would have spotted them despite the fact that they were in a row boat! Further, who would imagine that that the captain of the ship was a man who lived in his hometown of Osor........living across the street from him his entire life.

So the boat drops them off in Italy and they ask for political exile and that's that.

Another thing I learned in this conversation was that my grandma, who originated in Ventotene, Italy (Shown above) met her husband from Osor by prank calling him for MONTHS, until, he figured out who had been calling him. All the girls who were involved in the scheme were offered to dinner so he could finally meet the girls he had wondered so much about.

After the dinner, my grandfather walked out with the "main" prank caller, who spoke to him the most, holding an umbrella over her head, and they all went to see a movie.

When the movie was over, my grandpa was holding the umbrella over my grandma instead.

I have recently been looking into some of our own bills and laws passed by the Senate and Congress out of my own curiosity. Guided by many independent sites on which bills to read, I have been shown many disgusting truths on our own government: left publicly for all to see, but no one to look.

Throughout this hefty post, I will post excerpts of many legal documents unmodified, with the source below. You be the judge.

I will start with National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 AKA HR 1540. The plan of this bill was to address the following:

"To authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2012 for military activities of the Department of Defense and for military construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for fiscal year 2012, and for other purposes."

However, in the following section, they just so happened to slip in that the president has full authority to use the military at his will, thus removing an important part of the checks and balances our country ran on.

"SEC. 1034. AFFIRMATION OF ARMED CONFLICT WITH AL-QAEDA, THE TALIBAN, AND ASSOCIATED FORCES.

Congress affirms that--

(1) the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces and that those entities continue to pose a threat to the United States and its citizens, both domestically and abroad;

(2) the President has the authority to use all necessary and appropriate force during the current armed conflict with al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note);

(3) the current armed conflict includes nations, organization, and persons who--

(A) are part of, or are substantially supporting, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners; or

(B) have engaged in hostilities or have directly supported hostilities in aid of a nation, organization, or person described in subparagraph (A); and

(4) the President’s authority pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) includes the authority to detain belligerents, including persons described in paragraph (3), until the termination of hostilities."

Next, I will look at the all famous "Patriot Act." This bill was created "to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes." This bill was pre-written prior to 9/11 (otherwise it would have to have been written in 9 days, consisting of 61,187 words, and ~6,799 words written per day. Unlikely.) and was sitting dormant until the attacks when the people of the United States were traumatized, how could they not vote for an act with a title like "The Patriot Act." However, this act took away many of our liberties as shown below:

"SEC. 203. AUTHORITY TO SHARE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE INFORMATION.

(a) AUTHORITY TO SHARE GRAND JURY INFORMATION-

(1) IN GENERAL- Rule 6(e)(3)(C) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure is amended to read as follows:

The next section allows police to walk right in and search, without a warrant. No big deal, right? Heh.

"SEC. 213. AUTHORITY FOR DELAYING NOTICE OF THE EXECUTION OF A WARRANT.

Section 3103a of title 18, United States Code, is amended--

(1) by inserting `(a) IN GENERAL- ' before `In addition'; and

`(1) the court finds reasonable cause to believe that providing immediate notification of the execution of the warrant may have an adverse result (as defined in section 2705);

`(2) the warrant prohibits the seizure of any tangible property, any wire or electronic communication (as defined in section 2510), or, except as expressly provided in chapter 121, any stored wire or electronic information, except where the court finds reasonable necessity for the seizure; and

`(3) the warrant provides for the giving of such notice within a reasonable period of its execution, which period may thereafter be extended by the court for good cause shown.'."

Next, our right to Habeas Corpus is revoked. Luckily, this was effective only until December 31, 2005. JK. The next year they revoked it in the Military Commissions act of 2006. Ah well. There goes that.

"SEC. 412. MANDATORY DETENTION OF SUSPECTED TERRORISTS; HABEAS CORPUS; JUDICIAL REVIEW.

(a) IN GENERAL- The Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 236 the following:

`(7) REVIEW OF CERTIFICATION- The Attorney General shall review the certification made under paragraph (3) every 6 months.

The Military Commissions Act of 2006, as mentioned before authorizes the President to detain anyone, including U.S. citizens, without charge by designating them enemy combatants or unlawful enemy combatants - completely eliminating Habeas Corpus.

"SEC. 7. HABEAS CORPUS MATTERS.

‘‘(e)(1) No court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to

hear or consider an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed

by or on behalf of an alien detained by the United States who

has been determined by the United States to have been properly

detained as an enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination.

‘‘(2) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of section

1005(e) of the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (10 U.S.C. 801

note), no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear

or consider any other action against the United States or its agents

relating to any aspect of the detention, transfer, treatment, trial,

or conditions of confinement of an alien who is or was detained

by the United States and has been determined by the United

States to have been properly detained as an enemy combatant

or is awaiting such determination.’’

Switching gears a bit, Jerry Brown, has signed bill AB499, allowing the children of California to get an HPV vaccine without their parent's consent. If I was a parent in that area, i'd be freaking. Google it if you don't believe me, this one's too obvious for my analysis.

Next, let's address the food issue. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was this chemical plant with the name Monsanto. They were contacted by the US Government to develop a chemical to spray over the trees of Vietnam (which I will address later on) to disintegrate foliage so that the planes can see where the Vietnamese fighters were -- to bomb them. This caused the death of an estimated 400,000 Vietnamese people killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects. Later on, this same company decided to shift gears and become the biggest food corporation in the United States. But they're no average Joe farmer. This company is a producer of genetically modified foods, you know... seedless watermelon (So farmers can't replant it, not so you dont have to spit it out!), aluminum resistant plants (So you can't have your own organic farm & home garden), etc. They patented our food. Is that normal? NO IT'S NOT NORMAL!

Now to pause this story to watch what an influence it has become:

Here's a fun fact: Genetically modified food is illegal to grow in Europe. rBGH, one of Monsanto's creations, has been banned in Canada and Europe. The United States? They're not even required to TELL us that it's in our milk, or on our food.

If you want to see another post on the differences in food quality and ingredients:

http://jcoinster.blogspot.com/2011/08/difference-between-american-and.html

Here, I rant about how different the same product can be: Fanta.

It tastes and looks different. The ingredients prove it.

As mentioned before: Vietnam should have never happened. The United States lost 59,000 men and millions of Vietnamese. You know the Gulf of Tonkin indecent? Yeah..... That never happened. A document was declassified from the CIA proving it: www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB132/relea00012.pdf

While I'm ranting, I may as well mention another controversial topic: 9/11

Charlie Sheen on September 10th, 2009 sent a video to the president, questioning 9/11. On December 25, 2009, just 3 months later, he was arrested and a whirlpool of events occurred. From then on, he has been ridiculed by thousands, possibly millions of Americans - credibility crushed. Was he targeted? Who knows. Coincidence? Why are you asking me? I'm not going to spoon feed everything, that's what Google's for!

Lastly, as I will do more reporting on this topic in the future, take a look outside your cave, often, you'll only be seeing man made clouds spanning from horizon to horizon. These were sprayed from planes to help fight global warming.

(Question)"10 megatons of aluminum dumped into the atmosphere would have no human health impacts"?

(David Keith)"the aluminum nano-particles we have only began to research and have published nothing.

(Question)"so your telling me that spaying 10 to 20 megatons of aluminum as you said would have no human health effects, he took a deep breath and swallowed, and said let me be more careful here.

(David Keith)"We haven't done anything serious on aluminua and there could be something terrible that we find tomorrow that we haven't looked at".
