Video: Daniel Ellsberg says NDAA is an impeachable offense
Submitted by Mark Hanson on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 12:08Our founders ended the Declaration of Independence with the following words: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." They understood that the price of freedom requires total committment with no guarantee of success.
So what can a Constitutionalist do? Even some on the left are calling for Obama to be impeached for his policy of indefinite detention and execution of U.S. citizens without due process. Our fearless leaders were able to impeach Clinton for lying about a Lewinsky and that sets a pretty low bar so.... I know, a biased media and immunity for our first black President are a problem, but we should at least try. Daniel Ellsberg was on "Democracy Now" saying provisions of NDAA constitute an impeachable offense. He provides some good info that even those on the right aren't talking about. Here's the link:

A better strategy might be building a ground swell of support that forces public prosecutors to do their job, i.e., use R.I.C.O. statutes (Racketeering, Influence, and Corrupt Organizations) to round up bipartisan leaders and their criminal co-conspirators on Wall Street. Thomas Paine used the power of the pen (Common Sense) to help generate the ground swell of support necessary for Revolution. Check out this link to Rep. Marcy Kaptur describing the extortion program known as TARP.

Former Deputy Director of the Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, William Black, helped obtain a 1000 criminal convictions of "elite" bankers after the 1980's S&L meltdown. He's compiled compelling evidence to support criminal prosecutions of Wall Street executives. Just listen to the first few minutes of his radio interview.

If millions of citizens emailed these links to local attorneys, Sheriffs, prosecutors, State Attorneys General, U.S. Attorneys and elected officials, it would make a difference. Also, by law, the public airwaves must be used to serve the public interest. Currently they're being used to defraud the public. Citizens should document the fraud and lobby the FCC to terminate the broadcast licenses of offenders. If we could take back our airwaves, that would help counter the media's disinformation campaign and bipartisan spin, a.k.a. fraud.

I have a theory regarding a potential three step process taking approximately 30 days to establish a local station covering the particular county you would be noticing.
Provided the county does not respond a declaration of judgement can be requested of the local magistrate.

I do not participate in chats anymore. However, if you have an idea, I would like to know.
"If we could take back our airwaves"
Think, and be creative. They can not control everything, just yet. But then, who would listen other than the choir.

Contact me regarding this please via PM - I'd like to discuss this further in private. I'm interested in knowing about procedure and getting the ball rolling on this...
I've considered a RICO suit in the past. The only reason I still haven't gone for it is it is to my knowledge still a commercial event.

Using R.I.C.O. and more
I know RICO has been effective for prosecuting organized crime. And there's compelling evidence implicating bipartisan leaders and CEO's in financial crimes, which are commercial in nature. Not to mention, as Ellsberg said, the "systematic attack on the Constitution." Another legal option for holding public officials accountable is mail fraud and "honest services" statutes.
As for getting the ball rolling, I think the first priority is educating fellow citizens who've yet to wake up. And not unlike the Daily Paul, Thomas Paine took it upon himself to publish "Common Sense" and light fires in the minds of men. It's important to remember that one person can make a difference. The Bible and history books are full of stories about lone voices crying in the wilderness who ultimately played a big role in waking people up.
If I were to make a list of things to do it would be:
1) Educate ourselves and fellow citizens.
2) Prioritize. In my opinion, restoring the rule of law is job one.
3) Communicate with law enofrcement and citizens about violations of law that have the broadest appeal. I think there are many glaring examples of treason but prosecuting financial crimes appeals to most people on the left and right.
4) Organize. Form grass roots organizations with your friends, neighbors, business associates etc., that focus on disseminating info to community groups, media, law enforcement and elected officials.
5) Never give up, even if there appears to be no chance of winning in our lifetime. Future generations may be inspired by our work and carry on the fight. In sports we teach atheletes to compete even when the game appears to be lost, and our individual liberties are far more important than the outcome of a game.
