High Treason: Obama and Pentagon

Declare Congress Invalidby Excerpts

March 19th, 2012

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's testimony asserting that the

United Nations and NATO have supreme authority over the actions of

the United States military, words which effectively declare Congress

a ceremonial relic, have prompted Congressman Walter Jones to

introduce a resolution that re-affirms such behavior as an

"impeachable high crime and misdemeanor" under the Constitution.

During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday,

Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey

brazenly admitted that their authority comes not from the U.S.

Constitution, but that the United States is subservient to and takes

its marching orders from the United Nations and NATO, international

bodies over which the American people have no democratic

influence.

Panetta was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions, "We spend our time

worrying about the U.N., the Arab League, NATO and too little time,

in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the

United States. As you go forward, will you consult with the United

States Congress?"

The Defense Secretary responded "You know, our goal would be to

seek international permission. And we would come to the Congress

and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or

not we would want to get permission from the Congress."

Despite Sessions' repeated efforts to get Panetta to acknowledge

that the United States Congress is supreme to the likes of NATO and

the UN, Panetta exalted the power of international bodies over the US

legislative branch.

"I'm really baffled by the idea that somehow an international

assembly provides a legal basis for the United States military to be

deployed in combat," Sessions said. "I don't believe it's close to being

correct. They provide no legal authority. The only legal authority

that's required to deploy the United States military is of the Congress

and the president and the law and the Constitution."

In an eff0ort to re-affirm the fact that "the use of offensive military

force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act

of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor

under article II, section 4 of the Constitution," Republican

Congressman Walter Jones has introduced a resolution in the House

of Representatives.

In June last year, President Obama arrogantly expressed his hostility

to the rule of law when he dismissed the need to get congressional

authorization to commit the United States to a military intervention

in Libya, churlishly dismissing criticism and remarking, "I don't even

have to get to the Constitutional question."

Obama tried to legitimize his failure to obtain Congressional approval

for military involvement by sending a letter to Speaker of the HouseJohn Boehner in which he said the military assault was "authorized

by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council."

In boldly asserting the authority of international powers over and

above the legislative branch, Panetta and Obama are openly

declaring that they no longer represent the American people and

instead are water carriers for a global dictatorship that has usurped

the sovereignty of the United States.
