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:

`(III) when the disclosure is made by an attorney for the government to another Federal grand jury;

`(iv) In clause (i)(V) of this subparagraph, the term `foreign intelligence information' means--

(2) CONFORMING AMENDMENT- Rule 6(e)(3)(D) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure is amended by striking `(e)(3)(C)(i)' and inserting `(e)(3)(C)(i)(I)'.

(b) AUTHORITY TO SHARE ELECTRONIC, WIRE, AND ORAL INTERCEPTION INFORMATION-

(1) LAW ENFORCEMENT- Section 2517 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting at the end the following:

`(6) Any investigative or law enforcement officer, or attorney for the Government, who by any means authorized by this chapter, has obtained knowledge of the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, or evidence derived therefrom, may disclose such contents to any other Federal law enforcement, intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense, or national security official to the extent that such contents include foreign intelligence or counterintelligence (as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a)), or foreign intelligence information (as defined in subsection (19) of section 2510 of this title), to assist the official who is to receive that information in the performance of his official duties.

(2) DEFINITION- Section 2510 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by--

(A) in paragraph (17), by striking `and' after the semicolon;

(B) in paragraph (18), by striking the period and inserting `; and'; and

`(19) `foreign intelligence information' means--

`(A) information, whether or not concerning a United States person, that relates to the ability of the United States to protect against--

`(i) actual or potential attack or other grave hostile acts of a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power;

(c) PROCEDURES- The Attorney General shall establish procedures for the disclosure of information pursuant to section 2517(6) and Rule 6(e)(3)(C)(i)(V) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that identifies a United States person, as defined in section 101 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801)).

(d) FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION-

(1) IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall be lawful for foreign intelligence or counterintelligence (as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a)) or foreign intelligence information obtained as part of a criminal investigation to be disclosed to any Federal law enforcement, intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense, or national security official in order to assist the official receiving that information in the performance of his official duties.

(i) the national defense or the security of the United States; or

(ii) the conduct of the foreign affairs of the United States."

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

(2) by adding at the end the following:

`(b) DELAY- With respect to the issuance of any warrant or court order under this section, or any other rule of law, to search for and seize any property or material that constitutes evidence of a criminal offense in violation of the laws of the United States, any notice required, or that may be required, to be given may be delayed if--

`(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:

`MANDATORY DETENTION OF SUSPECTED TERRORISTS; HABEAS CORPUS; JUDICIAL REVIEW

`(6) LIMITATION ON INDEFINITE DETENTION- An alien detained solely under paragraph (1) who has not been removed under section 241(a)(1)(A), and whose removal is unlikely in the reasonably foreseeable future, may be detained for additional periods of up to six months only if the release of the alien will threaten the national security of the United States or the safety of the community or any person.

`(7) REVIEW OF CERTIFICATION- The Attorney General shall review the certification made under paragraph (3) every 6 months. If the Attorney General determines, in the Attorney General's discretion, that the certification should be revoked, the alien may be released on such conditions as the Attorney General deems appropriate, unless such release is otherwise prohibited by law.

`(i) the Supreme Court;

`(ii) any justice of the Supreme Court;

`(iii) any circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; or

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".

We let them win. Are you going to take action? Probably not.

If you disagree on my post, feel free to Google it and be wrong. Or be ignorant and comment below!

In going to different countries, I've noticed something about people's enjoyment and feel for music. At times, unlike many Americans would agree, many Europeans don't listen to the words (often because they aren't in their native language) and yet, they still enjoy it.

Take Alors On Danse.
This song became a popular club and party song even in the US. Did the kids who took French understand it? I'd guess no for most parts. This also exists with other songs such as Danza Kuduro and We No Speak Americano in America.

In Europe, American music is played on radio most often more than European.
Here's one of my personal favorites: Radio Subasio

But why are these songs still good enough for say, an Italian to download them on their iPod? Because we, as complex beings, can not only comprehend the words to the song, but take sound waves and turn them into something our minds can also comprehend: music.

I'm not back talking lyrics, for language is one of the beauties of song. Take the lyrics of "Stereo Hearts"

"My heart's a stereo

It beats for your, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note

Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

If I was just another dusty record on the shelve
Will you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like it read well, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
This the last girl that play me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I’m over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts

If I could only find a note to make you understand
I sing a song and the image grab me by the hands
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you"

These lines are genius. The rhetoric is key. The meaning is beautiful.

And yet, the language of the song is the most beautiful part.
