Obama first took our Rights with NDAA, he's now taking our Guns, leaving us Defenseless

Quietly our government is taking our rights, now also taking our guns, leaving us defenseless to tyranny. 

Starting with the Patriot Act, our government is taking our rights one by one, now also wanting to take our guns, hinting that the U.S. government is preparing for a response against probable civil unrest, possible civil war, maybe even revolution. 

When looking at Obama as Commander and Chief of the U.S. military, his authority of Executive Order, the National Security Directives and the Homeland Security Presidential Directives, you will notice that there is already a lot of dictatorial power being thrown around by the President.

Indeed, over the years, the President of the United States has been allocated more and more power. Abe Fortas, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, who believed in an expanded executive branch and a less powerful legislative branch, put it like this: "The enormous growth of presidential power from FDR to Lyndon Johnson was a necessary and an inevitable adaptation of our constitutional system to national needs."

Then there came of course the Patriot Act, which  dramatically reduced restrictions in law enforcement agencies' gathering of intelligence within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions and broadened the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts.

Recently there came the newly revised and amended NDAA bill, with all it's new language, limiting our rights even further. Then later still came SOPA and PIPA, being replaced by ACTA and the Internet 'Kill Switch', which are attempting to censor the Internet as part of the U.S. government's ongoing effort to control and contain communication and information.

Sources show that an estimated 1,271 U.S. government organizations and approximately 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence located in over 10,000 different locations across the continental United States. Who are they spying on and what are they afraid of.

By now you may have noticed a pattern, where the U.S, government is systematically taking more and more of our rights and freedoms, while gaining more and more control over our lives. It remains only for them to take our guns, thereby leaving us defenseless if or when they make their final move towards total control by declaring Martial Law. The government is more afraid discontent Americans than fanatic terrorists!

Without guns, there can be no militia, which our founding fathers saw as the last line of defense against oppressive government and crucial to the life, liberty and freedom of our people.

Gun Control is not about Guns, it is about Control!

Barack Obama will become known as the most anti-gun president in American history. Back when he was still Senator Obama, he said “words matter.” But he refuses to speak honestly about where he stands when it comes to your Second Amendment rights. Obama is a master of hiding behind cleverly chosen words and vague statements about all his policies, but particularly when talking about gun rights, he is careful to sidestep and camouflage the truth.

But even he can’t hide from the truth forever … his voting record, political associations, and long standing positions make it clear that Barack Obama is the most anti-gun president in American history.

"...just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right..." - Barack Obama

To give you a quick look at the double standard of the Obama administration, note that Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Thursday, February 2, 2012, to answer questions about his role in the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal. However, backed Obama, instead of answers, Congress got more defiance, arrogance and wasted time with an attorney general who only feels loyalty towards his President, rather than the American people they both swore to serve.

But at least this hearing revealed Holder's foolhardy attempt to divert attention away from himself and his disregard of responsibility, letting Congress know that Obama is still working hard to reinstate former President Bill Clinton’s so-called “assault weapons” ban.

Holder said that this administration has consistently favored the assault weapons ban. It is something that they think useful in regard to the reduction in crime, and what would have a positive impact on the crime situation in Mexico.

The Obama administration's Eric Holder and his Justice Department oversaw a scandal where our federal government illegally and immorally supplied thousands of firearms to Mexican cartels. This resulted indirectly in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent and hundreds of Mexicans, including both cartel members and dozens of civilian casualties.

Despite being  our nation’s chief law enforcement officer as head of the Justice Department, Eric Holder maintains to this day that he doesn’t know how or why this scandal occurred, or even which of his subordinates may have authorized it. Holder still refuses to surrender critical documents to congressional investigators that may help prevent something this corrupt from happening again.

"Gun Control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna' have a gun. Safety locks? You pull a trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins." - Former mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, who testified against John Gotti (his former boss), admitted to killing nineteen people, and is now living under the Witness Protection Program.

Obama believes he can ban a large number of the legal firearms from law-abiding Americans, which they use for self-defense, recreational shooting and hunting, thereby solving Mexico’s crime problem. Who does he think he's fooling? Or is he really that stupid?

GunBaNObama.com is now disclosing the truth about Barack Obama’s words,like:

• “Do you support state legislation to … ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.” (Independent Voters of Illinois/Independent Precinct Organization general candidate questionnaire, Sept. 9, 1996
• “I’m consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry.” (Chicago Tribune, April 27, 2004)
• “I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manufacturers lobby.” Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope (2006).

GunBaNObama.com is also exposing Obama’s deeds, like:

• Obama voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sports shooting. (United States Senate, vote no. 217, S. 397, July 29, 2005)
• Obama voted to uphold local gun bans and the criminal prosecution of people who use firearms in self-defense. (Illinois Senate, SB 2165, vote 20, March 25, 2004)
• In his only two votes on confirming Supreme Court nominees, Obama voted against two of the five justices (Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito) who later affirmed an individual right to keep and bear arms in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.

Legislation is now pending in Congress to confiscate all handguns, register all guns, and tax ammunition up to 500%. Others want to go much farther. Within a few years it could be illegal for you to buy any guns or ammunition.

If you already own guns, you may be required to turn them in to the Gestapo... oops... I mean, government, under penalty of fine and imprisonment.



On February 28, 1994, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen announced the reclassification of several 12-gauge revolver-action shotguns. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) announced they would trace the owners, and order them to be fingerprinted and register with the BATF within 30 days or face a $250,000 fine and 10 years imprisonment.

In some cities police have already begun warrantless, door-to-door searches of public housing projects for guns.

Will gun prohibition make you and your family safer? The evidence from cities in the US where guns have already been virtually banned is not reassuring.

Either way, our government will make sure we all comply to whatever they are cooking up. Never before in history and nowhere else on earth has there been an intelligence and information gathering apparatus like what we have in America today.

It all started with Sellar Wind, the open secret code name for a collection of activities performed by the NSA in the wake of 9/11 involved data mining a large database of the communications of American citizens, including e-mail conversations, phone calls, financial transactions, and Internet activity. Since the implementation of the program, there have been internal disputes within the U.S. Justice Department about the legality and in 2004 Attorney General John Ashcroft ruled the program illegal. 

But no problem, there was always the President’s Surveillance Program (PSP), the collection of secret intelligence activities authorized by George W. Bush after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The only section of the PSP program publicly disclosed has been the warrantless wiretapping of international communications. The other PSP activities remain classified information to this day.

There was the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 is a 236-page Act of Congress, signed by President George W. Bush that broadly affects U.S. federal terrorism laws. It established both the position of Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board.

In conclusion, the U.S. government will continue to take control of our every move, in our mundane, everyday lives. They will continue to make laws, rules and regulations, enforcing them through an ever increasing integrated effort with KGB like intelligence and Gestapo like law enforcement.

Are you going to stand for that? If this pisses you off half as much as it does me, I ask you get involved in some of our discussion on the Conspiracy Watch Facebook Page, sign-up for the free Conspiracy Watch Newsletter, share this article with your Facebook and Twitter friends and maybe even start your own initiative for change. Everybody must do their part if we want things to get better... or at least, stop them from getting any worse!

The Bias Against Guns
Why most Everything You Heard About Gun Control Is Wrong

John Lott shows how liberals bury pro-gun facts out of sheer bias against the truth. With irrefutable evidence, Lott shoots gun critics down and provides the information needed to win arguments with those who want to ban guns. Lott shows: How Diane Sawyer, Dan Rather, Charlie Gibson, and other TV talking heads promote gun control in the guise of 'news'; The clever way reporters and the New York Times 'spike' pro-gun stories; The trick government statisticians use to 'cook' data for the anti-gun lobby; Why bicycles, buckets, and football games are more dangerous to children than guns; Why 'assault weapons bans' and 'gun show' regulations are counterproductive; Why Britain -- which recently banned handguns -- now has a violent crime rate double that of America's; The fallacy of 'safe storage' laws. Want the facts? John Lott has them. With this book, anyone can arm themselves against liberals who would rather confiscate guns than fight crime.

NDAA is Worst Legislation since Patriot Act

Never Mind SOPA, PIPA or even the New ACTA, the NDAA Bill is the Worst U.S. Legislation since the Patriot Act!

What is Wrong Our President, Our Senate, Our House and the Rest of Our Government allowing Oppression last seen in the former Soviet Union?

With all the gift-giving and partying over the holidays, all the other attention given to the social action to repeal the legislation of SOPA and PIPA, and now the new ACTA, plus god knows whatever else our leaders are trying to put on us, I can see how the general public could miss the importance of the new NDAA bill. Particularly when considering that the elitist controlled mainstream media has been ignoring or downplaying the issue, trying to avoid the public resistance that stopped the two infamous censorship bills, SOPA and PIPA.

Even if you didn't catch my recently I published articles, Repeal NDAA! Initiative to Take Back America! or New NDAA Bill Prepares U.S. for Martial Law as Washington Plans to Squash Civil Unrest, you have probably heard something about the NDAA from somewhere else, for no matter how hard The Powers That Be try to keep it out of the headlines, nobody can keep something this huge a secret very long.

However, if you don't know what all the fuss is about, let me sum it up for you: Last New Year's Eve, President Obama signed the NDAA, or National Defense Authorization Act, which gives him, and any future president, the ability to use the military against the America people.

Yes, as of January 1, 2012, anyone the government considers a "threat" to the nation can be arrested off the street and detained indefinitely without representation of an attorney and without due process. Not by the FBI or local police, but by the military! Does this remind you of something?

Yes, according to the bill, the U.S. Military can snatch you out of bed in the middle of the night, without telling anyone, anything. No warrant, no reasonable doubt. No lawyer. No trial. Just like the Gestapo did  in Germany before and during WWII. 

This legislation is by the same politicians who claim that veterans returning from combat, anti-abortion and anti-big government believers were potential domestic terrorists. I guess I had better start worrying!

I don't know if it's out of fear of the chaos and anarchy that could erupt should our economy collapse, or if it's just part of the elitist plan for a New World Order, but either way our government has decided to turned the Land of the Free, into a police state. Or should I say, a military state, primed for Martial Law?

After 9/11, when the War on Terrorism was just beginning, President Bush enacted the Patriot Act. This allowed the government to spy on Americans, monitoring their phones, mail, financial records and activities to discover whether or not someone was a terrorist. It brought about changes in law enforcement that trampled on citizen's rights like nothing before in the history of the United States. Until now.

The provisions of the Patriot Act allows the government to spy upon U.S. citizens while the NDAA also allows the government to arrest a citizen for no reason other than being "suspected" of terrorism, setting the stage for Martial Law. 

Even though many Americans were willing to trade privacy for safety and security, many people don't realize that this is exactly what both the terrorists and our politicians wanted all along. The terrorists have succeeded in making us live in fear and change our care-free lifestyles, while our government got the green light to tighten the noose of control around our necks.

Although I am not saying that our politicians were involved in the 9/11 attacks, or in cahoots with the terrorists like some conspiracy theorists are claiming, I must admit that the terrorists did some of our power-hungry politicians a favor.

To demonstrate how our politicians are using fear to strengthen their grab for power, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina argued that the law would only apply to U.S. citizens' who have aided Al-Qaeda or other terrorist organizations.  He made up a story of how a U.S. citizen might fly to Pakistan to receive terrorist training, only to return home and shoot fellow citizens, using this fairy-tale example of how one single U.S. citizen might become a possible risk, to justify doing away with a citizen's right to due process and trial by jury.

The NDAA bill should have the entire country calling for the impeachment of any and all politicians responsible for the NDAA. While normally this is just an act which details the monetary calls of the Department of Defense which is passed every year, the changes in the bill  for the 2012 fiscal year and can be seen as an extension of the Patriot Act. 

How could this law have been passed, I ask, when it is clearly unconstitutional? The Fourth Amendment grants liberty from unreasonable search and seizures and the Sixth guarantees every U.S. citizen trial by jury. No matter what the bill's supporters might have claimed about the provisions being misunderstood, the fact remains that it is unconstitutional.

In a country that once prided itself in a law that guaranteed legal representation and due process, and meant being innocent until proven guilty, this is an disturbing change of which many American are even unaware of.

Knowing good and well that the bill is unconstitutional, and just plain wrong, President Obama released a statement regarding NDAA:

"Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law."

President Obama went on to say that, "...his administration will not authorize the indefinite detention of American citizens." However, Obama also said that he would close Guantanamo Bay, that he would recall the troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office and that he would end the Bush tax cuts. No matter why these promises were not kept. They weren't kept. 

President Obama stated concern about the provision which would allow the military to be used in place of law enforcement and indefinitely detain American citizens. However, is the President doing anything to reverse of suspend the provision to give the military this new power?

If you would like to read the President's very own absolutely meaningless words for yourself, the Statement by the President on H.R. 1540, can be found in it's entirety on whitehouse.gov, HERE.

The People's Resistance

Not long ago the Internet united against the two censorship bills, SOPA and PIPA, which would have given the U.S. Government new powers to shut down websites believed have violated copyright laws. The Internet responded with thousands of forwarding all their traffic to a website directing people to call their Representatives to protest the “Internet Censorship Bills” going through Congress. Over 13 Million American citizens did, prompting Congress to suspend both bills indefinately.

This demonstrated that Representative Democracy works to a certain extent if people participate! But this participation must be in great numbers, and must include both voting and calling elected officials. As I mentioned in my article, Repeal NDAA! Initiative to Take Back America!, it's not from perfect, but it is better than bowing down to a dictator or king. Even the wealthy elite know their limits to how far they can push us. As I mentioned before, they remember the French Revolution, and they surely remember the guillotine.

Unfortunately, most people don't call their representatives until it is almost too late. They wait until the last possible moment, after something terrible has happened, before finally taking action. If we the the people wait until Martial Law has been declared to call our Representatives, chances are it will be too late.

Repeal the NDAA

On February 3rd there is a Nationwide NDAA 2012 Congressional Protest planned to oppose NDAA, so if you haven’t called your Representatives by then, do so on February 3rd in order to unite with as many people as possible in a productive form of participatory democracy! You could of course organize a similar event in your hometown, your state, nationally or online. The options are endless and the support is everywhere.

Representative Ron Paul recently introduce legislation to repeal section 1021 from the NDAA (the section giving the military said powers). We should flood our representatives phones, officies and mailboxes with demands they support Rep. Paul’s H.R. 3785, and repeal section 1021 from the National Defense Authorization Act. To find a links of petitions and resources to appeal the NDAA bill, go to my article, Repeal NDAA! Initiative to Take Back America!

The implications of the Patriot Act, NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and other government grabs for power are getting bolder all the time, as they step on our rights and freedoms. For example, according to Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, there are laws regarding terrorist suspects in America in place by the Department of Justice against having a food supply lasting at least seven days can be grounds for being suspected of terrorism.

I have  a pantry which contains more than a seven day food supply. Worse, I am writing a story that is against the politicians in Washington. Can I be seen as an enemy of the United States of America?

I don't think so!

The White House E-Mail Cover-up

It was common practice for nearly all politicians to destroy their most important documents

In 1972, upon the death of J. Edgar Hoover, countless thousands of official and unofficial FBI records were destroyed.

It had been common practice for high ranking politicians to destroy their most important business documents ever since politicians started their lies, cover-ups and conspiracies. In other words, ever since our Founding Fathers put together our government.

To end this, Congress passed the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act in 1974, placing the presidential records of Richard Nixon in federal custody to prevent their destruction.

The Act was meant to not only reduce cover-ups at the highest levels of government, but to also give our historians the materials they need to keep accurate records of our past. In 1978 Congress expanded this protection of historical records with the Presidential Records Act. This was accomplished by mandating that all records of former presidents automatically become the property of the federal government upon leaving the Oval Office.

When George W. Bush took office in January, 2001, the presidential papers of Ronald Reagan and Vice President George Bush were due to be made public. In spirit against the Presidential Records Act, George W. Bush first delayed the release for 90 days, then repeated the action, putting off the date until September, 2001. Then, on November 1, 2001, Bush issued Executive Order 13233, limiting public access to the records of former U.S. presidents. This Bush executive order also included the documents of former vice presidents.

Although this was passed hush-hush, never making headlies, those who knew about this action were outraged, claiming that it violated both the “spirit and letter of existing US laws.” The order severely limited public access to presidential records and delayed obtaining materials from presidential libraries.

On January 21, 2009, during his first day in office, President Barack Obama revoked Executive Order 13233. Obama rightfully restored the original Executive Order 12667.

During his presidency, George W. Bush was accused of acting in violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978. In 2007, the Bush White House e-mail controversy was revealed. The event started when George W. Bush initiated the unprecedented midterm dismissal of seven United States Attorneys, on December 7, 2006.

The U.S. attorneys were replaced with interim appointees, under provisions in the 2005 USA PATRIOT Act reauthorization. Following the action, a congressional request was called looking for documents indicating why the attorneys were fired. This caused the Bush administration to reveal the fact that not all internal White House emails were available, because they were sent via a non-government domain, that was hosted on an e-mail server not controlled by the federal government.

In 2009, the US government finally admitted that as many as 22 million emails may have been deleted by the Bush administration.

The Lies of George W. Bush, by David Corn 

As Washington editor for the Nation, David Corn has had his eyes and ears open for what he construes as lies from the Bush White House, and here he has assembled what many will see as an impressive body of evidence. Corn states that Bush has "mugged the truth-not merely in honest error, but deliberately, consistently and repeatedly to advance his career and his agenda." Corn carefully documents alleged falsehoods dating back to the campaign trail covering a full range of issues-from Enron to education, global warming to stem cell research. But this is no simplistic anti-Bush rant; it also faults the media for not underlining the apparent lies and the public for not caring enough. - Publishers Weekly

FBI using Patriot Act to Target and Squash Peaceful Political Activists

FBI using Patriot Act to Legally Target Activists

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are now using the Patriot Act as legal recourse to target and terrorize political, peace and even environmental and animal activists who are not willing to say in line with the status quo!

Just recently, it was revealed that a counter-terrorism firm spied on individuals who attended film screenings of a documentary that focuses on the practice of natural gas fracking and what impact it has on the environment and in the communities where it is used, titled Gasland.

The FBI has filed 164,000 suspicious activity reports written up on activists who did not follow government policies. For example, in California, 27 individuals are set to go on trial for protest actions. In Pennsylvania, activists even faced terrorism charges for writing slogans in chalk on sidewalks. But this is just the beginning of a frightening nationwide trend. Check out my Wednesday, May 4, 2011 article, A Sign of Things to Come: Police Brutality, Mass Arrests, Tear Gas Against Peaceful WIU Students.

The US government has armed the FBI and other branches of law enforcement with the Patriot Act, to apply Gestapo tactics and tools designed to fight terrorism to impose oppression on political activists, stepping on their freedom of speech and assembly rights, instead of protecting the American people from true terrorist and criminal threats.

Its no wonder that there are more and more people in America who fear law enforcement more than they fear terorists and criminals!

Carlos Montes, a co-founder of the Brown Berets Chicano Movement said, “the protest movements are directly exposing and challenging the lines that the US government puts out,” he said, yet law enforcement authorities continue to crack down without just cause. “It’s a war against dissent. They’re trying to stop us but we’re not going to let them do it.”

Law enforcement  is using violence and brutality to stop a movement which is merely exercising its right to free speech and the right to protest.

I suspect these really are signs of things to come. In fact, I believe its going to get a whole lot worse.

This writer wouldn't be surprised if the United States would declare Martial Law within the next couple of years.

What do you think? Do you think that government control is going to increase? Do you believe that Martial Law is possible in the not so distant future of the United States of America?
