Attorney General Holder: Prez Can Assassinate Americans On U.S. Soil

George Washington's picture




 

THE SINKHOLE OF LIBERTYImage by William Banzai

Attorney general Eric Holder wrote the following to Senator Rand Paul yesterday:

On February 20, 2013, you wrote to John Brennan requesting additional information concerning the Administration’s views about whether “the President has the power to authorize lethal force, such as drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.”

 

As members of this administration have previously indicated, the US government has not carried out drone strikes in the United States and has no intention of doing so. As a policy matter moreover, we reject the use of military force where well-established law enforcement authorities in this country provide the best means for incapacitating a terrorist threat. We have a long history of using the criminal justice system to incapacitate individuals located in our country who pose a threat to the United States and its interests abroad. Hundreds of individuals have been arrested and convicted of terrorism-related offenses in our federal courts.

 

The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no president will ever have to confront. It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States. For example, the president could conceivably have no choice but to authorize the military to use such force if necessary to protect the homeland in the circumstances like a catastrophic attack like the ones suffered on December 7, 1941, and September 11, 2001.

 

Were such an emergency to arise, I would examine the particular facts and circumstances before advising the President on the scope of his authority.

There’s more to the following statement than appears at first blush:

As a policy matter moreover, we reject the use of military force where well-established law enforcement authorities in this country provide the best means for incapacitating a terrorist threat.

Specifically, Holder did not say “we are legally constrained by the Constitution from depriving people of life, liberty or property without due process of law, and from using military force on U.S. soil”.  Instead, he said that the Obama administration was so far abstaining from using a power it already has as a current “policy” decision.

John Glaser notes:

The concluding legal opinion represents a radical betrayal of constitutional limits imposed on the state for depriving citizens of life, liberty and property. Officially now, Obama’s kingly authority to play Judge, Jury, and Executioner and deprive Americans of their life without due process of law applies not only to Americans abroad but to citizens that are inside the United States.

 

“The US Attorney General’s refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frightening – it is an affront the Constitutional due process rights of all Americans,” Sen. Paul said in a statement.

 

Holder, along with the Obama administration, is making it seem as if the President’s use of lethal force, as in the drone war, would only be used in circumstances like another impending 9/11 attack or something. Only when an attack is imminent.

 

But that categorical limitation on the President’s authority to kill depends upon their definition of “imminence,” which we learned from a leaked Justice Department white paper last month, is extremely broad.

 

The memo refers to what it calls a “broader concept of imminence” than what has traditionally been required, like actual intelligence of an ongoing plot against the US.

 

“The condition that an operational leader present an ‘imminent’ threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future,” the memo states, contradicting conventional international law.

 

Instead, so long as an “informed, high-level” US official claims the targeted American has been “recently” involved in “activities” that pose a threat and “there is  no evidence suggesting that he has renounced or abandoned such activities,” then the President can order his assassination. The memo does not define “recently” or “activities.”

 

Holder also insists that in the case of such “extraordinary circumstances,” like another impending 9/11, he ”would examine the particular facts and circumstances before advising the president of the scope of his authority.”

 

Boy, do I feel comforted.

This is not entirely surprising.  As we noted in December 2011, a top constitutional expert confirmed that Obama was claiming the authority to assassinate Americans on U.S. soil.   We reported that month:

For more than a year and a half, the Obama administration has said it could target American citizens for assassination without any trial or due process.

 

But now, as shown by the debates surrounding indefinite detention, the government is saying that America itself is a battlefield.

 

AP notes today:

U.S. citizens are legitimate military targets when they take up arms with al-Qaida, top national security lawyers in the Obama administration said Thursday.

 

***

 

The government lawyers, CIA counsel Stephen Preston and Pentagon counsel Jeh Johnson … said U.S. citizens do not have immunity when they are at war with the United States.

 

Johnson said only the executive branch, not the courts, is equipped to make military battlefield targeting decisions about who qualifies as an enemy.

 

The courts in habeas cases, such as those involving whether a detainee should be released from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba, make the determination of who can be considered an enemy combatant.

We pointed out a year ago, the director of the FBI said he’d have to “check” to see if the president had the authority to assassinate Americans on U.S. soil. We reported last October that form Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo – the guy who wrote the memo justifying torture, even of children, which was used to justify torture of innocent people, including children – said that the president has the power to assassinate Americans on U.S. soil in times of war.

And Mother Jones notes:

In a Google+ Hangout last month, President Obama refused to say directly if he had the authority to use lethal force against US citizens. As Mother Jones reported at the time, the reason the president was being so coy is that the answer was likely yes. Now we know that’s exactly what was happening.

It is not very reassuring that the same unaccountable agency which decides who should be killed by drones also spies on all Americans.

Indeed:

You might assume – in a vacuum – that this might be okay (even though it trashes the Constitution, the separation of military and police actions, and the division between internal and external affairs).

 

But it is dangerous in a climate where you can be labeled as or suspected of being a terrorist simply for questioning war, protesting anything, asking questions about pollution or about Wall Street shenanigans, supporting Ron Paul, being a libertarian, holding gold, or stocking up on more than 7 days of food. And see this.

 

And it is problematic in a period in which FBI agents and CIA intelligence officials, constitutional law expert professor Jonathan Turley, Time Magazine, Keith Olbermann and the Washington Post have all said that U.S. government officials “were trying to create an atmosphere of fear in which the American people would give them more power”, and even former Secretary of Homeland Security – Tom Ridge – admitst hat he was pressured to raise terror alerts to help Bush win reelection.

 

And it is counter-productive in an age when the government – instead of doing the things which could actually make us safer – are doing things which increase the risk of terrorism.

 

And it is insane in a time of perpetual war. See this, this, this and this.

 

And when the “War on Terror” in the Middle East and North Africa which is being used to justify the attack on Americans was planned long before 9/11.

 

And when Jimmy Carter’s National Security Adviser told the Senate in 2007 that the war on terror is “a mythical historical narrative”.

 

And 9/11 was entirely foreseeable, but wasn’t stopped.   Indeed, no one in Washington even wants to hear how 9/11 happened, even though that is necessary to stop future terrorist attacks.  And the military has bombed a bunch of oil-rich countries when it could have instead taken out Bin Laden years ago.

 

As I noted in [an analogous context]:

The government’s indefinite detention policy – stripped of it’s spin – is literally insane, and based on circular reasoning. Stripped of p.r., this is the actual policy:

  • If you are an enemy combatant or a threat to national security, we will detain you indefinitely until the war is over
  • But trust us, we know you are an enemy combatant and a threat to national security

See how that works?

And – given that U.S. soldiers admit that if they accidentally kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then “drop” automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants – it is unlikely that the government would ever admit that an American citizen it assassinated was an innocent civilian who has nothing at all to do with terrorism.

Read this if you have any doubt as to how much liberty Americans have lost.

Senator Paul told MSNBC:

The response by Holder could lead to a situation where “an Arab-American in Dearborn (Mich.) is walking down the street emailing with a friend in the Mideast and all of a sudden we drop a drone” on him. He said it was “really shocking” that President Barack Obama, a former constitutional law professor, would leave the door open to such a possibility.

 True ... but you don't have to be Arab-American to get in trouble.

Everyone here probably knows the "I'm from the government...." quote. In my neck of the woods (Madison,WI) a disturbing number of my neighbors will guess that it was said by Abbey Hoffman or Jerry Rubin back in the day. They smile when they hear it.

They vote to increase the power of government each time they get a chance.

We are taught to fear the eccentric individual as dangerous and see the collective as safe; but history tells us quite the opposite: danger and death on unthinkable scales comes from concentration of state power: Hitler, Mao, Stalin alone racked up, what? 100,000,000 dead in the 20th century?

Ask Yori Kahl if the Feds have the power to assassinate US citizens on US soil. They have been doing it for decades, except now they can do it openly, and not have to stage a cover story.  This has been going on since J. Edgar Hoover days.

It has been going on since the founding of the nation.  The federal government has never quailed from turning its weapons of war upon Americans, on American soil, when it felt the imperative of preserving its power outweighed political considerations.  Look at Shay's Rebellion.  Lincoln did not hesitate to turn his cannons on Americans in America.  The national guard has been deployed innumerable times to quell labor unrest and political dissent.  Geo. H.W. called in the guard during the Rodney King riots.  Need we mention Katrina?

This is the very point of the 2nd Amendment.

Your government is not your friend.  The amazing thing is that (since those Hoover days) they have successfully deluded the Americans into believing otherwise, and have therefore successfully produced a docile and compliant society, content to be willfully blind to the government's transgressions so long as they can continue to pound their Big Macs in their McMansions while watching McMedia.

Why, oh why, do people continue to "wait" for that moment when they think the government has crossed the line?  That moment is receding in the rearview mirror, and still we talk.

Firing on a rioting mob {while still inexcusable} is very different from targeting an individual for "a hit". That is what the mafia does. Guess that is what our government has become nowadays.

1.6 billion hollow-point rounds, .44 and 9mm for 'Homeland Security'?  Watch for the little drones.  The ones that carry a single shot - they have a cell-phone-like chip only simpler and have only 2-3 apps.  Main app is shape recognition.  The little 1/2 dollar-sized bugger is released, flys to the first available target and caps it.  Done.  Tennis racket might be the best defense if you could see or hear it coming, but the 2nd app - they're sneaky and quickly direct.  The Swarm - fugetaboutit - bang, bang - and no infrastructure loss.  Brave new world?  No, a cowardly new world.  I believe we're all in a heap of trouble.

Hope we won't have to die to find out.  In any event, the US Military is on 'our' side - so the DC'ers can't depend on the foot soldiers - they're our kids and they aren't going to shoot us.  So, use drones - they go where they're sent and do what they're sent to do without question or pay, or conscience or thought.  That's the part that's difficult to get our heads around.  The handlers go with the power.  And that, of course, is not 'we the people.'

You bet he was he imprisoned political dissidents, and the Regular  people were scared shitless by him, and that IS Exactly the reason as soon as he died the TWO term limit came into being.

So NO POTUS could ever have that kind of tenure again, UNTIL now.

Reminds me of a novel by Michael Chrichton, called Prey.

In it, there are these man-made nano-particles, ostensibly created to wipe out arterial disease, that can commnunicate with each other in a basic and fundamental fashion.  Once released, the swarm "learns" swarm behavior, as it is a natural phase of evolution.  Of course, that little feature attracts the attention of the US Air Force.

The swarm even learns to make more of itself.  It doesn't end well.

it's fitting that TPTB should use Obomber, a liberal who is popular, to bring in these egregious rulings, with the MSM and the cosmos (zeitgeist) on his side. It's not that there are too many people and evolution must kick in, but that too many people do not have a biblical worldview anymore, so they can do this. Remember what Adams and Washington said, that this Republic was for a religious people. Freedom involves self-limitation through self-control (the fruit of the spirit) as well as license.

Perhaps they should check Wikipedia....

The Posse Comitatus Act is the United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) that was passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction and was updated in 1981. Its intent (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) was to limit the powers of Federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce the State laws. Contrary to popular belief, the Act does not prohibit members of the United States Armed Forces from exercising Law enforcement agency powers within a State, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order"; it requires that any authority to do so must exist within the United States Constitution or Act of Congress.[1] Any use of the Armed Forces under either Title 10/Active Duty or Title 10/Reserves at the direction of the President will offend the Constitutional Law also known as Public Law prohibiting such action unless declared by the President of the United States AND approved by Congress. Any infringement will be problematic for political and legal reasons.

Holder is clearly walking on thin ice with his inept comment.

Holder knows that there is no "United States" and no "Constitution" since the putative President, who is the executor of the laws, is an illegal entity. There is no "law". The only law is what evil men say it is. Get a clue and speak the real truth.

Obama 2 was born British, of a British subject father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., "an improper ascendant" ("improper ancestor", see Federalist 68--- avoid an improper ancestor in order to guarentee that the President is a "creature of our own"--- natural born Citizen). Thus Obama 2 is NOT nor will ever be a natural born Citizen, even if born on the Oval Office desk.

Treason has been committed for a reason--- to dismantle the US Constitution within a state of lawlessness, and to take away US Citizen sovereignty.

Oh yeah, but that is just "conspiracy theory". Those that don't think the requirements of the office of President are important deserve what is coming.

Speak the TRUTH GW--- don't be a coward.

Good work, GW.

Yep, the guy has Absolute Power now, just like Hitler.

It took Hitler about the same amount of time under the Weimar Constitution to gain Absolute Power as Skeeter has taken.

Look for things to start Ramping Up on a logarithmic scale.

As the armed forces are emasculated, the DHS increases its power with billions of rounds, tanks, automatic front-line military weapons and now, killer drones.

Yesterday marked the end of the Constitution.

Skeeter keeps pushing, but Americans keep holding their fire. Since we will never rise to the bait, he will be forced to act in order to attempt the installation of a soviet/fascist state.

Satan is loose in the land. Time to pray for strength.

If they can kill us without due process, then we should be able to do the same.  Of course, they out gun us, out tank us, out bullet us and out Drone us.  It certainly doesn't appear to be in our favor.  "I am not a dictator.", my a$$.

It's about time a drone is directed into Holder's ass. The man is there only to interpret the law as per the O'Bums' needs.

If it is true that the president believes that he has the God given right to deny people of their freedom without a fair and speedy trial by a jury of his peers (a power that was declared in the NDAA) and he has declared that he has the God given right to murder people at his discretion; it seems that he has abdictaed his position as an elected representative of the people and has declared himself an enemy of the people.

That's OK, as long as we know where he stands.

Bring on the goon squad! Hopefully the goon squad realizes that THEY have also been declared enemies of the president that can be murdered at the despot's discretion by his fellow goons. Oh, he would NEVER do that to them, right? They are too important and too loyal. He is after all plying them with fiat, women and the freedom to employ their sadistic nature with impunity. It is a thug's dream world.

Manchurian Candidate and above the law.  God-less man of Kenya who has a bone to pick with 'the imperialists' wherever they may be.  I believe it is his intent, if he can get away with it, to bring America down - totally destroy it and us.  Impeach: Contempt of Country!

Time for Impeachment trials for Treason against the People of the US by failure to uphold the Oath of Office to defend the Constitution.

Simple as that.
