Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States, said recently that the United States (the president) has the right to order the killing of any American citizen overseas. The criteria used to determine this so-called right is if they are senior members of al Qaeda who pose an imminent terrorist threat, and cannot reasonably be captured, or so the story goes.
What was not mentioned was that no proof whatsoever has to be present in order for these killings to take place. No warrants have to be issued, and no due process is necessary in the minds of these murderers in political dress. Obama, and any who follow him, now supposedly have the “legal right” to assassinate any American of their choosing. This kind of power is obscene, and poses great risk to all who speak out against this completely evil government!
There is more to Holder’s claim than meets the eye. The president also claims the legal right to assassinate any American or any foreigner anywhere in the world, including on our own soil. This was made “legal” by the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which was signed by Obama this year. The specific portion that allows the murder of Americans is Section 1021.
These kinds of laws, laws that allow illegal and immoral acts, that are called legal, fly in the face of morality and sanity, and completely destroy any idea of liberty. This is one reason I have such contempt for constitution worshipers, because they cling to that document while at the same time allowing these heinous laws to exist because of that document. But I’m sure they will wait to see if the very corrupt Supreme Court says if murder without just cause, and without charge or trial, is constitutional or not. What nonsense!
The United States government now has the “legal” right to murder anyone, including American citizens. But don’t worry, because if you have nothing to hide, I’m sure you will be safe!
There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice. ~Charles de Montesquieu
