Martial Law Attempt In Louisiana Echoes Ron Paul's Warning 2/4

Following the fatal shooting of a toddler in a crime ridden New Orleans housing project, a Louisiana state representative has called for what amounts to martial law.


Austin Badon contacted Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's office Monday and asked that the National Guard be deployed. Jindal's office said Badon was told that any such a request would have to come from the New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu.

Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 15 of the Constitution, the National Guard -- considered a state militia -- is authorized to "execute the laws of the Union and suppress Insurrections and repel Invasion." The Constitution says nothing about dispatching the military to fight domestic crime, a task usually undertaken by local law enforcement.

Since the National Defense Act (or Militia Act) of 1903, the federal government has worked to absorb the National Guard and take control of it away from the states. In 2007, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act moved to remove state governors as sole commanders in chief of their state's National Guard during emergencies within the state.

On December 18, presidential candidate Ron Paul warned (see video below) that the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed recently by the House and now under consideration in the Senate will be used by the government to implement martial law. The bill would allow the military to detain Americans and prevent them from exercising their right to due process under the Sixth Amendment.

Deploying federally controlled troops in post-Katrina New Orleans is another attempt to circumvent Posse Comitatus and acclimate citizens to the presence of armed troops on the streets.

In August of 2005, New Orleans served as a beta test for FEMA command and control over state and local jurisdiction and autonomy. It was also used for gun confiscation. FEMA, as we have documented, is primarily concerned with "civil disturbance" and martial law, not disaster relief.

"This should be the biggest news going right now," Ron Paul told Alex Jones as the House prepared to pass the NDAA bill. "It is literally legalizing martial law." He pointed out that the NDAA's violations of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are remarkably not even discussed in the GOP presidential "debates" conducted by the establishment media.

I am real tired of people who do not want people like myself to say anything in opposition to someone who is an elected official to their face, and that is against my rights!

He said cancer zones...I think he meant "nigger zones".

What I think is both funny and sad is that for some reason the US govt feels the need to radicalize its own people against itself via SOPA, PIP Act, and NDAA 2012. Im very ashamed of and disapointed in my govt right now.

Anyone who isnt ready to stand and fight for their country and freedom in these dark times will discover soon enough that compliance with tyranny does not and will not ensure safety. The more you give a tyrant the more they will attempt to take...China, North Korea, Ect. If you want to be cattle be cattle but if you want to be free then you will most likely have to fight for it. The question is not how far you are willing to go but do you have the fourtitude to go as far as is necessary. Choose

If these greedy scum bags try to eliminate Dr.Paul or any other representatives of the people then it is not only the right but the duty of the people of the US to rise up and eliminate them. If they try to pervert our voting and election processes it may also be necessary to remove them by any means necessary. These are not hollow words but fundamental principals that our nation is based on.

They can confiscate deez nuts.... watch them come and try to take my sac after they see this on youtube aaaaaaaaaaahahahahah. I wish I could be there when they get screwed over too.

SEE YOU IN HELL MOFOS!!!!!!!

For the record and all the asshole snitches and govt flunkies who like to put their noses where they dont belong. I do NOT advocate needless violence but if the worst should happen to Dr.Paul as a nation we need to rise up and eliminate the cancer eating away at our country. We have lost every real leader for the people that we have had and in almost all cases the trail leads back to the same basic group of greedy scum bags. Politicians that are in the pockets of the banks and globalists.
