quarantine1

With a supposed second wave of the H1N1 Swine Flu projected to hit thousands of citizens in the U.S., states are busy setting up new laws for quarantine and restraint even though the CDC has stated that Swine Flu symptoms for the most part, are no worse than the seasonal flu . Florida and Iowa have set up quarantine documents and detention orders here https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/swine-flu-quarantine-detention-order/.

The Massachusetts state Senate has a “Pandemic Response Bill” awaiting approval in the House. http://www.mass.gov/legis/bills/senate/186/st02pdf/st02028.pdf giving full immunity to anyone, the bill in part- excerpted from http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604 and elaborated upon here- https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/swine-flu-killing-constitution/.

In April of 2009, http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/04/28/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4975598.shtml reported that is was The Department of Justice that has the established legal federal authority pertaining to the implementation of a quarantine and enforcement of quarantines of U.S. Citizens. Under approval from Health and Human Services, the authority to issue quarantines goes to the U.S. Surgeon General. http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/

The acting Surgeon General since October 2007 is Rear Admiral Steven K. Galson, M.D., M.P.H. http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/about/biographies/biosg.html While President Obama has been busy skirting constitutional law in the appointment of Czars, The United States has had no official Surgeon General for two years.

With the power to render millions of U.S. Citizens into quarantine, would the power then not be reserved for the President Obama himself? So who, and what laws allow for quarantine of individuals?

President Bush added “novel” forms of influenza with the potential to create pandemics in Executive Order 13375 outlined here. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-6907.pdf The document says- ‘‘(c) Influenza caused by novel or reemergent influenza viruses that are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic.’’

Anyone violating a quarantine order can be punished by a $250,000 fine and a one year prison term.

Four years ago in November of 2005, The Bush administration released the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza providing an outline for coordination among federal agencies, the stockpiling and distribution of vaccines and anti-viral drugs, and, if necessary, government-imposed quarantines and limitations on gatherings. A review of http://homelandsecurity.tamu.edu/framework/special-issues-hurricane-katrina-1/national-strategy-for-pandemic-influenza/ with the electronic version removed from the web by the Obama administration
http://www.whitehouse.gov/homeland/nspi.pdf.

In January 2007, Congressional Research Service authored, “CRS Report for Congress: Federal and State Quarantine and Isolation Authority.” highlighted here http://homelandsecurity.tamu.edu/framework/special-issues-hurricane-katrina-1/crs-report-for-congress-federal-and-state-quarantine-and-isolation-authority.html/

This report compiled by the Congressional Research Service provides a comprehensive overview of federal and state public health laws, specifically those that relate to the quarantine of individuals. Additionally, the report undertakes discussion of constitutional issues and questions concerning individual liberties that are raised in a quarantine situation. The Commerce Clause is clear that authority is given to the federal government to prescribe quarantine, which leaves state and local governments responsible for controlling the spread of threatening diseases within their jurisdictions. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33201.pdf

Federal and State Quarantine and Isolation Authority-

Under section 361 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 42 U.S.C. § 264, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) has the authority to make and enforce regulations necessary “to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions. The PHS Act and related statutes also authorize measures to aid or enforce a quarantine in the event of a public health emergency

The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (the Model Act) provides a comprehensive framework for state emergency health powers, including statutory authority for quarantine 62 and isolation.63 Section 604 of the Model Act authorizes the quarantine or isolation of an individual or groups of individuals during a public health emergency

Federal quarantine authority derives from the Commerce Clause, which states that Congress shall have the power “(t)o regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,and among the several States

The President could use the Insurrection Act, now titled “Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order,” to enforce health measures in the event that civil officials were overwhelmed during a pandemic and unable to enforce those laws

The Posse Comitatus Act does not apply to the National Guard unless it is employed in federal service as a reserve force of the armed forces. If the National Guard is called up to enforce U.S. laws, however, it is not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act.

The PHS Act, Model Act, Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act are on the legal books in part, to provide a means of quarantine. From Massachusetts’s attempt to fully amend its quarantine laws, new laws are in conference to enhance government authority and reduce your individual freedoms.

H.R. 675. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h675/text Sec. 1585b of the bill would amend Title 10 of US Code to extend to civilian employees of the Department of Defense the authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms for any offense against the U.S. Is this just another loophole to create more federal authority and a federal police force to assist in the means of executing quarantines? Previously posted at https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/martial-law-under-public-health-emergency/

The House passed legislation on Friday to head off a government shutdown next week by temporarily extending spending on most federal programs at current levels.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/26/us/politics/26cong.html?_r=1 While America is going out of business, the business of quarantine, confinement is apparently not being affected.

Gates is being asked to sign a so-called “execution order” that would authorize the military to begin to conduct the detailed planning to execute a proposed plan to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/US/07/28/military.swine.flu/ and herehttps://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/military-prepares-swine-flu-pandemic-pandemonium-w-fema/

In the first known official quarantine in the U.S – A federal prison in Memphis has been quarantined because of an outbreak of Swine Flu. United States Attorney Lawrence J. Laurenzi says in the document, prisoners are not allowed to leave FCI Memphis for court appearances because of the quarantine. Laurenzi said, “The United States Marshall’s Service has advised that the facility will reassess the situation on September 21, 2009.”http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/news/local/story/Federal-Prison-Under-Swine-Flu-Quarantine-in/2BAXeC_YAUqe1TMXXxlskQ.cspx

Prison officials have not released any information about the situation at this time.

Clearly the idea of a quarantine is to keep the novel H1N1 Swine Flu disease from spreading to the rest of the population.  By all accounts, the CDC has stated that Swine Flu symptoms for the most part are no worse than the seasonal flu. Florida and Iowa are taking the lead in preparing documents for quarantining residents who have the H1N1 Swine Flu.

Mexico was quiet at the peak of Swine Flu with public gatherings prohibited and schools, museums, libraries and sports events canceled.  Will America be next as quarantine preparedness is taking place?

The greatest danger to American liberty is not Bird Flu or even our ludicrous lack of preparedness for natural and terrorist disasters. The greatest dangers to personal liberty lurk in the insidious encroachments by leaders who are well-meaning but without sufficient passion for the Constitution, and without sufficient honor to defend to the death each American citizen’s precious, vulnerable freedoms. quote is copyrighted by © 2005 Madeleine Cosman http://www.newswithviews.com/Cosman/madeleine15.htm

Mercedes Benz Military Vehicles are apparently headed to Camp Pendleton? 

Mercedes-Gclass-6x6-1

The Mercedes Bens G-Class was born initially as a military vehicle based on an order from the Shah of Persia back in 1970. And it just happened to become a civilian vehicle a decade later. But no matter what clothes it wears, it looks and works just right wherever it goes. Now though it’s going back to its roots by this fabulous 6×6 version made for the Australian army.

Three-axeled 6.5 tons monster, designed to accommodate up to 9 passengers with heavy luggage, the perfect tool for missions including unit transportation. The other half are long wheelbase 461 series with a huge cargo area which is 3.2 meters long and can carry stuffs up to nine tons. Mercedes G-Class 6×6 is painted in sand beige and looks truly striking.http://www.motorward.com/2009/06/mercedes-gclass-6×6-for-australian-army/  They are also referred to as Gelandewagen and similar vehicles can be found at http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/vehicles/mercedes-benz/.

Why are these “striking,” similar looking vehicles travelling down America’s highways.  Martial Law? Pandemic Emergency Preparedness? Government Requisition? Foreign Army Transport? NLE Practice?

“With GM’s restructuring complete,Steven Rattner, whose leadership and vision were invaluable to the Auto Task Force’s efforts, has decided to transition back to private life and his family in New York City….Ron Bloom will assume leadership of the Task Force’s activities as the government transitions its role away from day-to-day restructuring to monitoring this vital industry and protecting the substantial investment the American taxpayers have made in GM, Chrysler, and GMAC.” http://michellemalkin.com/2009/07/13/alert-car-czar-steven-chooch-rattner-is-leaving/

“There is no checking with the government,” he[sic Bloom]  said in relation to company leaders’ approach to running the businesses. Board members will not need to “look back” over their shoulder to make sure the government is approving all decision making, he said….The Treasury Department has committed over $60 billion in direct assistance to GM and Chrysler. Tens of billions more have been committed to Delphi Corp., GMAC LLC and suppliers.The Department of Energy has committed $25 billion in funding for auto makers to retool factories in order to develop and build fuel-efficient cars.”http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124873753926785139.html

In 1974, after a series of scandalous take-downs of pension and retirement funds during the Nixon era, Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  ERISA says you can’t seize workers’ pension funds (whether monthly payments or health insurance) any more than you can seize their private bank accounts.  And that’s because they are the same thing:  workers give up wages in return for retirement benefits. http://www.alternet.org/workplace/140441/how_obama’s_’car_czar’_steve_rattner_is_bankrupting_gm/  Well, looks like you can under President Obama.

Somebody, some frigging place ought to look over our tax dollars and tell me why there is a Mercedes Benz Military Vehicle on a car hauler heading from South Carolina to California.  WTF?  Billions in auto bailouts and someone has the fucking audacity to order a fucking Mercedes Military Vehicle? Are they even U.S. Military?  From Delphi to GM people are loosing pensions- blatantly breaking laws, while our Constitutional lawyer President Obama makes statements about racial profiling.  X-CUSE Me but I think people looked blindly past your skin color when they voted expecting better than this. 

Maybe these vehicles have something to do with the upcoming NLE 09 exercises.  Yeah, that makes me feel all warm inside. 

I thought “This land is your land, this land is my land…”.words and music by Woody Guthrie

“In the squares of the city – In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office – I see my people
And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’
If this land’s still made for you and me.”  http://www.arlo.net/resources/lyrics/this-land.shtml

This week in History on Sat., July 28, 1945In a ringing declaration indicating that America’s pre-World War II isolation was truly at an end, the U.S. Senate approves the charter establishing the United Nations.

If you are sitting down, “”Millions of men, women and children have died because nations took to the naked sword instead of the conference table to settle their differences.” The U.N. charter would provide the “foundation and cornerstone on which the international organization to keep the peace will be built.”  from This Day in Military History http://tdiumh.blogspot.com/2005/07/july-28.html

Keep the peace indeed–now get those Mercedes Military Vehicles off of my U.S. Taxpayer paid roads, built upon U.S. Soil with American blood, sweat and tears. 

Buy American, it is the very least you can do.

communism

 

“Novus Ordo Seclorum,” is a saying which embodies The United States of America’s President Obama, and it translates to “New Order of The Ages.” It is communistic, and socialistic and it is knocking at your front door- not tomorrow, today. 

The New World Order is wrapped around everyone of us, under Obama.  He is becoming practiced at hiding his  lack of empathy, while carefully studying other peoples emotions so as to mimic a degree of normalcy, and in cold blood, manipulating the American people. 

In a “60 Minutes” interview Obama laughed and chortled when talking about the world’s economy.  Steve Kroft said, “You’re sitting here. And you’re— you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems.  Are people going to look at this and say, ‘I mean, he’s sitting there just making jokes about money—’ How do you deal with— I mean: explain. . .” Are you punch-drunk?” “No, no. There’s gotta be a little gallows humor to get you through the day,” Obama said, with a laugh. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20339.html  It isn’t funny, Mr. President.  Not at all.  Obama is coping and corrupting with laughter while sending us to the gallows of socialism.  Even Jay Leno joked that “stimulus” is our way of saying “Communism,” and everyone laughed. 

“Timmy Boy” Geithner, tax dodger and Treasury Secretary, and the government claims the right to seize all financial instruments, currency, gold, silver and every thing else, if they deem an emergency exists.  Geithner called on Congress to grant extraordinary powers to take over failing institutions.  “The United States government does not have the legal means today to manage the orderly restructuring of a large, complex non bank financial institution that poses a threat to the stability of our financial system,” Geithner told the House Financial Services Committee. 

The legal means would be to declare a state of emergency, and that just may be the plan.  America is getting good at seizing things.  In 2003, “The U.S. Treasury Department announced the federal government will seize $1.4 billion in Iraqi assets frozen since The Gulf War and use the money for humanitarian and construction in Iraq.”  http://money.cnn.com/2003/03/20/news/frozen_assets/  I’d like to see an accounting of seizure and spending, please.

In violation of a whole bunch of laws, we already have active duty soldiers stationed on U.S. Soil, ready and armed.  The Army force on active duty on U.S. Soil operates under U.S. Northern Commands Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, high Yield Explosives unit (CBRNE)- The Consequence Management Response Force or CCMRF is commonly referred to as “sea-smurf”.   http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/ The force was fully activated October 1st, 2008 in a response to the controversial John Warner Defense Appropriations Act http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-5122.  The title of the law the “Insurrection Act” has been renamed, “Enforcement of Laws to Restore Public Order”  http://www.bordc.org/threats/hr5122.php giving power to the President to invoke martial law.  Public Law 109-364, (H.R.5122) http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=MOR20061029&articleId=3618.  Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 “the power of the country” prohibited a president from using the military for police actions in the United States until now.  https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/posse-comitatus-act/ 

Broadly interpreting Constitutional prerogatives is a President’s prerogative. Harry S. Truman seized the U.S. steel mills in 1952.  A labor dispute between the industry and the United Steelworkers union threatened to idle the nation’s steel plants, stopping production of the weapons being used to fight the Korean War. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Truman’s seizure was unconstitutional.  By the time Obama gets done with The Supreme Court’s next nominees,  I highly doubt we will see the same outcome.

Under the guise of youth volunteerism,  high-school and middle-school students are going to be encouraged to participate in national service and service learning programs. The  “Hitler Youth” Plan was just passed by the U.S. House this week.   HR 1388 is called, “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education” (GIVE) and be read at http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1388/show

So far the text of the legislation in its current form, does not include a mandate requiring service.  Whew.   The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) with 37 others.   McCarthyism is the politically motivated practice of making accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason without proper regard for evidence. Maybe she is related to Joe McCarthy?

Meanwhile, China, Denmark, Germany, Russia and the United Nations want to eliminate the dollar as the back bone of the world’s economy.  Some have proposed an IMF dollar or perhaps a backing by the European Union’s Euro, but Oops!  Mirek Topolanek, head of the The Czech government and head of the EU, announced that the Czech economy has collapsed too,  following Iceland, Hungary, and Latvia.  

This is the perfect storm for Obama and Geithner to introduce the Amero.  It is no longer an invisible conspiracy, nor is a global currency called the Acmetal, which combines the Greek word “acme”, meaning peak or best and “capital”. 

If the rumors are true, Obama met secretly with Mikhail Gorbachev last week, and I bet it wasn’t to talk about the ruble.  The talk was about creating a super national reserve currency as part of a radical reform of the global financial system; one that would get America off the hook of foreign debt, into a further decline of capitalism and a lack of confidence in our economics of capitalism.  Maybe they talked about Topolanek and the U.S./NATO missile shield on Czech ground that is totally pissing off the Russiams.

Canadian economist Herbert Grubel first introduced the idea of unified currency 1999.   While at the Fraser Institute Grubel published : “The Case for the Amero: The Economics and Politics of a North American Monetary Union”  in which he proposed that Canada and the USA adopt a shared currency called the ‘Amero.”  Read it here:  http://oldfraser.lexi.net/publications/critical_issues/1999/amero/section_03.html.  The Amero would merge the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar and Mexican peso.  Nearly ten years later we must at least respect the possibility of the Amero or the Acmetal- before we read about it on the front headlines of the NY Times or the Journal.

At least Geithner and Bernanke today, rejected the notion that the world move away from using the dollar as the main reserve currency.  http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-Economy/idUSTRE52N52420090324  The dollar plummeted anyways.

The Amero looks all shiny, just like the faces of voters who shed tears of joy when a black man was elected President.  Cry for America, not because he a black leader, but because his current policies are leading America into the blackness of despair and darkness.
