Kosovo: The New World Army Evolves
Daniel D. New
Based upon the precedent of Macedonia, and the lack of
Congressional backbone to stop the placement of American troops
under foreign officers, the New World Army is becoming a reality.
When Army Specialist Michael New refused to wear a United Nations
uniform and serve under a general from Finland, his attorneys
pointed out that the precedent would lead to more deployments
based upon the Globalist Agenda of George Bush and Bill Clinton.
The House of Representatives, perhaps because they are closer to
the pulse of the People, actually passed legislation in 1996 to
forbid the forced deployment of American troops under the United
Nations. (HR2540, Tom DeLay). The bill never came out of Senate
committee. But time has passed and like our society at large, the
attention span of Congress is short and there are matters more
pressing.
In 1812-14 we fought a war with Great Britain over the issue of
His Majestys Ships pressing American citizens into service in
the Royal Navy. We considered our citizenship as sacred, and as
an issue of sovereignty. We argued, at the point of cannon and
sword, that no nation could impress the citizens of another
nation into service against their will that such was a return
to feudalism. Washington was burned, but we won the war and
sovereignty was maintained. For a while.
How ironic that in Kosovo, American citizens will be forced to
serve under British soldiers, against their will, this time
ordered there by an American President!
At issue is not the quality of the British officer in question.
Hes no doubt a gentleman and a fine officer. The entire issue is
whether it is legal, whether it is lawful, and if so, whether
American citizens are no longer sovereigns. Is the "Grand
Experiment" in self government expired? Many say this is the end
of the Republic, and they may well be right.
When Americans are forced to bear arms in a conflict not their
own, they are turned into involuntary mercenaries. No semantic
smokescreen can make it anything else.
When a soldier accepts extra pay for the hazardous duty of
serving a foreign power, under foreign officers, he becomes a
voluntary mercenary. Lets start calling a spade a spade.
When Congress abrogates its responsibility to control the
military involvement of this country, as clearly stated in the
Constitution, it has thrown in the towel and is no longer
functioning as intended by the Framers. Only Congress can declare
war. George Bush broke the law, but appealed to what he
maintained was a higher law the United Nations when he
illegally defended Kuwait. At least he acted under color of law.
Bill Clinton has built upon the Bush legacy of
internationalization of our military by telling Congress AND the
United Nations that he will do as he pleases, that he does not
need either of them, and Madelaine Albright has the temerity to
boldly proclaim the grand lie that the President is acting with
Constitutional authority.
The only authority he has, if any, for these acts of treason must
be found in Presidential Decision Directive #25, a top-secret
document that even your Congressman is not allowed to read! This
is the document whereby the president has authorized himself (!)
to ignore Congress, ignore the Constitution, and to place our
soldiers wherever he feels they are most needed.
Bill Clinton is a rogue head of state. He is acting without any
authority whatsoever. He is committing impeachable offenses at an
ever-increasing pace, now that the Senate has capitulated and
strangled on phony polls and public opinion rather than their
sworn constitutional duty. The age-old struggle of Rex Lex has
once again prevailed over Lex Rex. ("The King is over the Law"
vs. "The Law is over the King.")
Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the
governed. (Have you heard this somewhere before?) Whenever any
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or abolish it.

-Caveat Lector- From www.commonconservative.com The 25th Amendment: Use It or Lose It by Tom Matthes The knives are out for Attorney General Janet Reno. Members of Congress are demanding her resignation or dismissal because of incompetence in the investigation of Chinese espionage. But there are two problems with this allegation. The first is the White House defends her. The second is it's not clear she blew the investigation. Why should the Congress assume her refusal to order a wiretap requested by the FBI was not in accord with presidential wishes? After all, President Clinton has lied about his knowledge of the investigation during a nationally televised news conference. Tim Russert proved this presidential mendacity while questioning Energy Secretary Bill Richardson on Meet the Press. So why make Janet Reno take the fall if the President, whom she has faithfully shielded from an independent counsel probe of his campaign finance violations, is part of a cover-up? Obviously, Congress has no stomach for a second impeachment, even though Clinton's defense attorneys acknowledged treason is grounds for removing a President from office (they denied perjury is grounds for impeachment). But there is another way to force a President to step aside if he is a danger to the public good: the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. Section IV empowers the Vice president and a majority of the cabinet to install the Vice president as Acting President through a written declaration to the speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Or, Congress may by law provide some other body to make the same written determination. This amendment was drafted after the assassination of President Kennedy. Had he not died quickly from his wounds, JFK would have been a brain dead chief executive. So the new amendment allows the vice president to step in if the president is incapacitated. Mental illness should also be grounds for removing a president from office for incapacity in the nuclear age. And there are plenty of reasons to consider William Jefferson Clinton mentally ill, if not criminally insane. New York Times columnist William Safire, although not arguing for invoking the amendment, has put it succinctly: We have a President who has a problem: he lies when he doesn't really have to. Safire cites Clinton's recent claims he has not ruled out using ground forces in the Kosovo war, when his promise not to use them is on the public record, and his claim that no one briefed him about possible Chinese espionage. Both lies are easily proven, yet the president seems compelled to make them. George Stephanopoulos has even suggested that, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal last year, there were times the President convinced himself that he had never had sexual relations with that woman. There are reports he was still repeating that lie to White House staffers a few days before the grand jury deposition, when he finally admitted Lewinsky had sex with him. In short, compulsive lying led to his impeachment. And that was before Juanita Broaddrick came forward with a rape allegation. The difference between a republic and a monarchy, or dictatorship, is slipping away from the US government. The Senate acquittal of Clinton, even after Senator Robert Byrd admitted the president was guilty as charged (and voted against removal), destroys the principal that the chief executive is not above the law. The successful defense that the President can only be impeached for treason and not the Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors cited by the Constitution all but eliminates impeachment as a peacetime defense against executive tyranny. Does anyone believe Richard Nixon would have been impeached had he served after the Clinton defense? We now have a President who brazenly lies about the most serious issues of national security. He is suspected of looking the other way while China stole almost every US nuclear weapons secret, while taking illegal campaign contributions from the Chinese army. If he actually believes he was not briefed about this espionage, he no longer can separate his lies from reality. Therefore, the President is either a traitor or is mentally deranged and should be relieved of his duties as commander in chief. The 25th Amendment allows a President removed on grounds of incapacity to defend his ability to serve before the Congress and to argue for his restoration to office. Our lawmakers should make him explain his lies: is he a criminal or merely nuts? If he is a criminal, impeach him again. If not, let him finish his term on the sidelines under the 25th Amendment. Use it as it was meant to be used. As Ronald Reagan would say, if not now, when? The 25th Amendment can preserve the nation from an incapable leader. It may be our final

-Caveat Lector- This is true story and funny; a pinko Governor and his knew running mate, an Italian with a thick accent ... Asked how he would like being Lt. Governorhe smiled, and said "Justa thinka, I'd be justa hearta beata away from the Govenor.when those guys lost, I thought the Guv didn't know how close he came Now wire tappingwhy does the AG approve this instead of a impartial Judge. Search warrants are signed by a judge...even though there could be incriminating evidencewire tappingthere re other ways. I liked it when Sam the Plumber and Angelo Gyp DeCarlo were being held up by crooked politicians; and of course, they knew their lines were tapped.one day this corrupt, crooked politico called for his bribe moneyand they talked and haggled, and the political was arrested...case of the it takes a thief to catch a thief, but at least the mob was honest about it. Once these two guys took a phone call and said "hey, we all got in the Masons...when we answer the phone we say "This is the Mafia Mason Lodge"that one choked me, because of a chapter I had in my ms, and only Sybil Lee had that one as I recall.however, when poor old Sam the Plumber and Angelo DeCarlo were finally sent to jail, Richard Nixon pardoned themso much for the shall we say Mafia-Mason-FBI Club, in particular when the Mafia gave Nixon over one million dollars in contributions.
