Congress Passes Bill In 15 Minutes To Revoke Americans' Passports Without Due Process

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

The “war on terror” is a status quo fraud perpetuated by the oligarch-controlled mainstream media and authoritarian members of Congress as a way to systematically strip the American public of its freedom and civil rights in the name of fighting an outside enemy. This tried and true tactic has been used by statists throughout history, and history is indeed repeating itself here in the “land of the free.”

Of course, I’ve spent innumerable hours writing on this topic for many years, even before I started this website. Here are a few recent examples:

The “War on Terror” Turns Inward – DHS Report Warns of Right Wing Terror Threat

More “War on Terror” Abuses – Spying Powers Are Used for Terrorism Only 0.5% of the Time

How the Department of Homeland Security Monitored and Tracked Peaceful “Black Lives Matter” Protests

Moving along, today’s story is so incredible it’s almost hard to believe. It appears our so-called “representatives” recently took fifteen minutes to pass a bill that allows the Secretary of State to revoke Americans’ passports with no due process. Did you know about this? Well neither did I, and what’s worse, these members of Congress are so cowardly they passed the bill with a voice vote to avoid going on record. Talk about anti-American.

First, from Reason:

On Tuesday, without much notice, and after a whopping 15-minute debate, the U.S. House of Representatives passed via voice vote the Foreign Terrorist Organization Passport Revocation Act of 2015. Its intent: “To authorize the revocation or denial of passports and passport cards to individuals affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations, and for other purposes.” Some of the bill’s sparse details:

 

The Secretary of State may refuse to issue a passport [or revoke a previously issued one] to any individual whom the Secretary has determined has aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise helped an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization

 

How does today’s John Kerry or tomorrow’s John Bolton make such a determination? The bill doesn’t say.

Don’t we have laws, courts and due process in this country? Guess not.

It was also covered by Police State USA:

A bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives would allow the government to restrict Americans’ travel through the revocation of passports based upon mere suspicions of unscrupulous activity.  This bill represents another dangerous step forward in the war on terror and the disintegration of American due process.

 

H.R. 237, the “FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization) Passport Revocation Act of 2015,” will allow the U.S. Secretary of State the unchecked authority to prohibit individuals from traveling internationally.  According to the bill, the Secretary may unilaterally revoke (or refuse to issue) a passport from “any individual whom the Secretary has determined has aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise helped an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189).”

 

The bill did not bother to define what the terms “aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise helped” actually mean, in legal terms.  The power has been left open-ended so that it can mean whatever the secretary wants it to mean.  Needless to say, a bill like this would be easily abused.

 

The travel restriction requires no presumption of innocence for the targeted individual; no explanation; no public presentation of evidence; no opportunity for a defense; no checks and balances on the power.  The bill does not outline any appeals process for the targeted individual.  The only stipulation is that the Secretary of State must issue a report to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs — “classified or unclassified.”  The bill does not state that either committee can reverse the secretary’s decisions.

What’s really disturbing though, is that as I was researching this bill, I came across the fact that Congress is also sneaking in a provision to the highway-bill that would allow the IRS to revoke Americans’ passports if they owe the agency $50,000. Here’s some excellent coverage on the matter from the Ron Paul Institute:

Just the other day we wrote about a US House “suspension” bill that would give the Secretary of State the authority to cancel your passport if he decided that you had “aided” an organization that he rules is terrorist. There is no definition of what “aided” means, no chance to dispute the Secretary’s decision, no trial or presentation of evidence, and in fact any evidence the government has can be classified as secret so that you may not see it. In effect the Secretary of State can unilaterally consign you to internal exile and there is nothing you can do about it.

 

Because Members of the US House were too cowardly to go on record voting for such an anti-American piece of legislation, the bill passed by a voice vote.

 

Today the US Senate plans to one-up its counterparts on the lowlier side of Capitol Hill. Buried inside the US highways funding bill is a provision to revoke or deny issuance of a US passport to anyone who has a large outstanding tax debt to the US Internal Revenue Service. According to a Senate Finance Committee summary (PDF) acquired today, the measure provides for:

 

Revocation or denial of passport in case of certain unpaid taxes. This provision would authorize the Federal government to deny the application for a passport when an individual has more than $50,000 (indexed for inflation) of unpaid federal taxes which the IRS is collecting through enforcement action. It would also permit the Federal government to revoke a passport for such individuals. Before revocation, however, the Federal government would be allowed to limit a previously issued passport only for return travel to the United States or to issue a limited passport that only permits return travel to the United States. The provision would be effective on January 1, 2016, and is estimated to raise $0.398 billion over 10 years.As can be seen from the summary, this measure threatening to imprison Americans within (or outside) US borders is simply viewed as a means by which to raise revenue. The hoped-for increase in revenue coming from this threat is considered an “offset” to the money being spent on the highway bill — in other words the threat to imprison US citizens within their own country or freeze them out is considered appropriate incentive to force them to pay what the government claims it is owed.

 

Unconvinced that the US government would do such a thing? Check the bill coming to the Senate Floor. Section 52102 of the Highway Funding bill, to be taken up by the Senate today,  states:

 

If the Secretary receives certification by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that any individual has a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000, the Secretary shall transmit such certification to the Secretary of State for action with respect to denial, revocation, or limitation of a passport pursuant to section 52102(d) of the Transportation Funding Act of 2015.

 

The use of citizenship rights as a weapon against Americans is becoming increasingly common as Washington is ever more desperate for control of its passport holders.

Indeed, Congress does seem rather obsessed in creating various loopholes by which the government can snatch American citizens’ passports and restrict travel without due process. It makes you wonder if Ron Paul was right in 2011 when he stated: “Border Fence Will Be Used To ‘Keep Us In'”

What does 'owing' the IRS 50k even mean? I owe more than that for the rest of this year. I pay taxes of about 28k each quarter this year. So techinically, I still 'owe' the IRS the 50 grand. Or do scheduled payments not count? Did anyone bother to define it?

The operative words in the law appear to be "seriously delinquent" or "enforcement action" - I don't think paying current estimated taxes falls under either of those categories...

I think that TBTB already have the right to take your passport if you have accused of a crime and you are a flight risk.

Maybe this is additional measure to terrify and control the plebes.

"I think that TBTB already have the right to take your passport if you have accused of a crime and you are a flight risk.

Maybe this is additional measure to terrify and control the plebes."

Under the rule of law you have to be accused of a crime, arrested, booked and then there is a judicial hearing where the prosecutor makes his case that you are a flight risk and that you need to have your passport revoked and bail denied. That's when you explain to the judge that you weren't really going that fast in the school zone.

This bill appears to be unconstitutional because it does away with due process. So yes, you can have your passport revoked if you are a flight risk. There is a whole legal due process path for you to get your passport revoked "legally/constitutionally". This isn't that.

We are no longer a nation of laws. We now a nation of men with all of the third world type problems that it creates.

Q: If they revoke your passport and take the extra step of revoking your citizenship (see Australia), does that mean you'd be considered an illegal alien, entitled to all of the rights, privileges and appurtenances thereof?

Walking up to a TSA checkpoint, he pulled the rifle out of the bag and opened fire, shooting TSA Officer Gerardo Hernandez in the chest "at point-blank range".

It is such a small step from here to the time when you are denied permission to travel because you 'Sympathize' with the plight of a person or state they regard as being a terrorists or is noncompliant with the anything that threatens them or the power they have. 

You become hunted, denied existence and closed out if you even think of challenging anything they pass as 'Law"

and it's not about the paltry amount they are going to raise over 10 years, for goodness sake, congress pisses that much yearly up on a stainless wall. No.. this is a very thin edge of a wedge which will be used as a basis to add other clauses. Before you know it they will come for you because of your religion or views or thoughts.

If it really was about raising back taxes then it would be aimed also at companies, after all they are individuals with rights, No again they go for the weakest link, the individual, even if that individual may have just reasons they cannot pay either through divorce illness age or disability.

Who are these Law makers? I for one would watch them with very open eyes.

However just so you know, Australia has a new law that revokes not only your passport but your very existence as a citizen. It denies you your country via cancelling your right to statehood. Now that's how far the Nazi's have come down here. All under the pretense of Terrorism.

You hear the shot and feel the thud of the bullet as it passes into your gut. It's only when you see your life force pouring out into your cupped hand that you come to realize your beyond ever changing what could have been done before you let it get this far. Then you beg for death to clean your guilt

Stop wasting your time voting in federal elections and thinking that anything will improve.  The only two viable ways to fix this problem is thru a state Constitutional Convention where the states decide whether to dramatically reign in, or terminate DC thru amendments or thru revolution.  And it may happen in that order if our state reps sell us out during the Convention process.

When I saw the flaming passport I was worried that it had already become illegal for American's to leave.  As it is now you can leave and surrender your citizenship but not without them getting a cut of your worth, which basically means you have to pay to get out.

A liberal idiot I know was recently blathering on about how he believes that none of these "rich assholes should be allowed to leave the country".  It should be noted that he considers people who have RVs and travel by air to be rich.  If the past is any indication he is getting this lock the gates idea from some MSM outlet.  So most likely this travel restriction is only the beginning.

Tyranny is the occupier, the virus, the disease, to be eradicated from the American body. Truth and "No!," Liberty, be the cure. Tyranny does not fear the cure, but the bearer of the cure. He who harbors, transports, and administers the cure, is the terror to the disease. As such, we that bear Liberty be terror, a terrorist, to the disease.

Liberty demands that tyranny unhand this land; Let go of me, you, and the American people, as is mine, ours, this land not theirs.

See you on the battlefield, or listen for my tapping song of Liberty from deep within one of Zion's basement cells.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

 

I bear Liberty, and am terror to tyranny.

Read Robert Caro's "The Days of Lyndon Johnson".  Johnson was the one who fundamentally changed the Senate (covered in Vol III, Master of the Senate) procedure to limit debate , knew the status of bills in committee & controlled scheduling of the votes enabling his  almost control for his patrons (big Oil).  And that was in the early 1950's.  Nothing new here.

Important Notice
On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the-board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all "measuring green jobs" products. The final release of Mass Layoffs Statistics data will be the publication of the May 2013 data.

Many a friend, and others, owe me an apology, as I told them under the Bush Jr. regime that the requirement of passports was a first step toward "paper's please" and permits for travel. They did not believe me. Just wait until the internal travel control points go up. That should get some attention. "Before you are permitted to travel into Texas, we will need to see your travel permits, and feel up you, your wife, and sweet daughter. Do you have any weapons or contraband metals?"

1) All action of government are for money, power, and/or division.
2) Tyranny's Paradox:  Tyranny lives off of those it oppresses.
3) All borders between taxation, theft, and violence jurisdictions are to keep people, producers, in, and not to keep people out.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

I refuse to answer your question until I can somehow fit 'squib jibblers' into the answer. 

So far, only a single pig has been illegally detained and had its rights er... violated as a result of Jade Helm:

Marvin Halbert of Birmingham, Alabama is in police custody after Walmart workers found him having “inappropriate relations” with a farm pig in the superstore restroom. Customers reported hearing loud squealing coming from the bathroom in the back area of the store near the layaway department. An eyewitness said her seven-year-old son went in to use the restroom, and came out screaming, “Mommy, mommy is a man in the bathroom holding a pig really close to him!”

 

Confused, the woman alerted a store clerk and was informed they already had several complaints about noise in the restroom. Raymond Cooper, an employee at the Walmart store, said he was the one that ran in and saved the pig. “When I went into the bathroom, I heard squealing from inside the stall. I told the man to open it but he wouldn’t, so I kicked it in. That crazy ass fool for real was doing a pig. I socked him in the face and grabbed the pig. That fool was out cold.”

Fake story - Wal*Mart doesn't have a 'layaway' department, for Christ's sake!

I went full retard and signed up for the Global traveler program.  It is essentially a way for them to track you in exchange for bypassing the lines while re-entering the US.

No problemo, since the scanners they have at entry points around the world could not tell the difference between my passport and a paperback I just read.

  I seriously doubt the $50K deliquent tax part of the bill will be passed. I've owned several businesses over the years and $50K in back taxes is a very small amount of money, in the greater scheme of things.

  This would put huge numbers of small businesses in potential peril. Once you've gone barter and black market, you'll never go back. ;-)

  How the Secretary of Clownville could even collaborate with the mental midgets at the IRS would make a good Twilight Zone episode.

 Small Business Administration counts companies with as much as $35.5 million in sales and 1,500 employees, depending on the industry. Outside government, companies with less than $7 million in sales and fewer than 500 employees are widely considered small businesses.

How to help American citizens repress their fear of their government and forcibly take it back. That is my concern.

The gov fears our numbers and if we could figure out how to impress this upon our fellow Americans, we would be feared for a change. As it stands, the gov has nothing but contempt for American citizens.

Everyday I speak with people who are fed up. The desire to make government change is out there but rallying all the troops is an art in which I have no talent but there must be a way to get the fed up Americans engaged. How?
