Congressman Brad Sherman: Martial Law if We Voted No [2]

October 2, 2008, U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Brad Sherman [D-CA] asks:

"But why are we bailing out the Bank of China? Why are we bailing out the Saudi royal family?...

The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and by sustaining a panic atmosphere...

A few Members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted ``no.''

CONFUSION WITH CONGRESSIONAL MARTIAL LAW

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared -congressional martial law- on Sept 27, 2008. Which is a procedural blanket that removes the rule requiring at least one day between the time a Bill is introduced in the House and the day a vote is taken.

Listen to congressman Michael Burgess [R-TX] addressing congressional martial law on Sept 28: "I understand we're under martial law as declared by the Speaker last night."

Read the BLANKET MARTIAL LAW RULE THROUGH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH

That IS NOT the Martial Law that Brad sherman was referring to.

Brad Sherman was specifically referring to Martial Law IN AMERICA, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, not the Sept 27-29 procedural blanket.

Sherman would later confirm the nature of the threat (a National Emergency) on the Alex Jones show.

TRANSCRIPT

That's what I call fear mongering--unjustified, proven wrong.

We've got a week; we've got 2 weeks to write a good bill. The only way to pass a bad bill: Keep the panic pressure on.

Now, what has the Senate done to this bill? First, they've added pork to it in the hope that that would buy off some votes. Second, they've created a double hostage situation. Now, we already know that the first bill was a hostage situation. When Paulson announced this crisis, he basically sent a ransom note, and that ransom note read, ``We've got your 401(k), and you'll never see it alive again unless you send us $700 billion in unmarked bills.'' So we had one hostage situation.

There's the AMT patch, a necessary tax provision that Congress passes every year. Without this patch, the AMT tax, which is designed to fall only on the wealthy, will hit another 20 million American households. Everyone knows we have to pass this. We sent it to the Senate for them to pass. Instead of passing it, they created a hostage situation. They refused to pass it. They put it on this bill. So now we're being told, if you don't send $700 billion to Wall Street, we're going to tax 20 million American families in a way no one in Congress wants to do.

That's totally phony. If we vote down this bill, the Senate will pass the AMT patch bill that we sent them just like they do every year.

There has been some attempt to tell the American people that this bill isn't going to cost anything permanently because, in 2013, we're going to get the money back from the financial services industry. Nothing could be further from the truth. All the bill says is that the President has to send us a proposal to tax the financial services industry. Now, keep in mind, if the President has any good ideas in 2013, he'll send them to us or she'll send them to us. If the President is only sending us
revenue ideas because they have to send them and they don't want to send that proposal, well then, they're going to send it with a note, saying, ``I'm required to give you this proposal, but I think it's a bad idea.'' What do you think we're going to do with a Presidential proposal that is disparaged by the President?

You know the saying...meet the new boss, same as the old boss. And the American people thought they were getting something different by voting for the anti-bush... it's all smoke and mirrors designed to get your vote like the classic bait & switch.

[raigekimaru]

such a courageous man.

[SadisticScott]

One of the few honest guys (besides Ron Paul) left in Congress today

In all this game, the devil is the victim, is the scapegoat, will be acused of everything cause the GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form,following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil cause he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is our savior and our hope!

[lollipopforest]

Why cant the American People comment on the reading of the constitution.The American people are being held hostage by you.

@VinceP1974

Are you nuts? It's the other way around. The Banks own the government.

[meushubris]

This man stood there and told us all the fucking truth and no one listened... HOW IS WHAT HE IS DESCRIBING NOT TERRORISM?

When Amerika tries and convicts all these scumbags for their treason, only then will freedom be brought to light once again in this nation and across the world

[Truthseeker424]

@EVLPropaganda It's true both parties are being paid by the "Elite", but what ever is right for the country is right for us. We can only seperate the good from the bad by their actions not their political party. We really need to focus on the Lord's 2nd coming, because alot of things are going to get worse before they get better. Trust JESUS he's definately not with any party or especially the elite. He doesn't need to... He is the SUPREME DEITY and that is far above "the elite". GOD BLESS YOU!

[BerPC96]

Wish all Democrats were like this

[dittoheadAZ]

This is one of the few Democrats who actually has the guts to stand up to the (at-the-time) Obama-Pelosi bailout bill. His name has come up quite a few times as being one who stands up to Obama even now. I like the name of his group - "The Skeptics Caucus" :)

[EVLPropaganda]

I'm going out on a limb here, but this congressman could be full of shit, by making it look like he care's for the people, which he may, but who knows. They all get their pockets stuffed in one way or another, so who knows what the deal is.I remember former Gov. Jessie "The Body" Ventura saying that both the left and right is like the WWF.They act against each other during theater time, but after playtime is over they all go out and drink beers together. It's tough to believe any of them NEmore
