Article I Section 10 Clause 3....

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

LOL ""The Governors' Council now has direct control. Fear will keep the people in line. The last remnants of the Republic have been swept away."

via freeper montag813

This is definitely not good news.

“The formation of the Council of Governors was required by the Fiscal Year 2008 National Defense Authorization Act which stated, “The President shall establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions.” (NDAA FY2008, Sec 1822)”

I heard about this sneeky Governors' Council prospect a while ago, and now it is here!! Have no doubt that it's the front -- indeed, a primary front -- for advancing NORTHCOM's agenda to militarize the 'battlespace' of the United States itself.

Recently a state government official told me in hushed tones about how the benign euphemism 'civil support' actually means essentially the backdoor to Posse Comitatus restrictions on domestic military activity. Search for 'civil support teams' and you'll get the idea.

Notice how this whole thing reeks of NORTHCOM and the Pentagon. Shades of Oliver North and Rex84 to be sure.

Via Cryptogon.com the observation that the 10 governors matches the 10 FEMA regions of Doom!: Obama Establishes Council of Governors Via Executive Order: “Synchronization and Integration of State and Federal Military Activities in the United States”. Plenty more on Cryptogon, don't miss it.

Moar commentariat: LiveLeak.com - Obama Decrees: a Federal Council of Governors, American Republic replaced by “Council of Governors”?, LA TIMES: Whereas said Barack Obama orders up a new Council of Governors to talk security stuff, and the Freeper thread on it. Some Freepers of course argue that this is an unconstitutional blurring of the state and federal levels. As one asks: "Because this sounds like the Feds trying to cloak their intended attempt to federalize the state militias and National Guards with the consensus of only 10 selected Governors?" Yah.

Also well noted by paulycy: "At the same time if they are creating parallel structures of command and control to the ones that already exist then at some point the feds can shut down the existing govt entities and put its own fully-controlled and extra-constitutional infrastructure in to full power...... We need to learn more about this and any other action to set up parallel control structures and state-nullifying measures."

Wicked fantasies like this one are rolling around. The RAND Corporation proposes a US militarized police force, why not?! More spooky stuff from a decade ago.

Very soon I will try to get the story out about what their plan is for Minnesota, that's a whole ball of wax itself. Can you say National Guard drug intelligence operatives in local police forces, running I2 identity intelligence softwares?

BARACK OBAMA

THE WHITE HOUSE,January 11, 2010. ###

An interesting confluence of events as Obama suddenly grants INTERPOL diplomatic immunity of sorts, while an apparent airport false flag operation or at least 'shady biz as usual' unravels pretty quickly. Good times in the shadow state for 2010.

We found some snippets on the case from two noted journalists in the shadowsphere, UK's Christopher Story & DC's Wayne Madsen. All too frequently Mr Madsen and Mr Story do not seem to report believable things, however in this case they are first on the scenes with some concrete bits to consider, and obviously in the Detroit bombing case as well as the INTERPOL thing a lot of stuff cannot be easily accounted for....

There's certainly a dead silence around the allegations from these guys more often than not, striking at times.

Commenter says he was aboard NWA Flight 253, saw suspected terrorist board the plane | Detroit News - - MLive.com

   "I was on this flight today and am thankful to be alive. My wife and I were returning from an African safari and had this connecting flight through Amsterdam. I sat in row 27, which was 7 rows behind the terrorist. I got to see the whole thing take place and it was very scary. Thanks to a few quick acting people I am still alive today.

   For those of you talking about airline security in this thread, I was next to the terrorist when he checked in at the Amsterdam airport early on Christmas. My wife and I were playing cards directly in front of the check in counter. This is what I saw (and I relayed this to the FBI when we were held in customs):

   An Indian man in a nicely dressed suit around age 50 approached the check in counter with the terrorist and said "This man needs to get on this flight and he has no passport." The two of them were an odd pair as the terrorist is a short, black man that looked like he was very poor and looks around age 17(Although I think he is 23 he doesn't look it). It did not cross my mind that they were terrorists, only that the two looked weird together. The ticket taker said "you can't board without a passport". The Indian man then replied, "He is from Sudan, we do this all the time". I can only take from this to mean that it is difficult to get passports from Sudan and this was some sort of sympathy ploy. The ticket taker then said "You will have to talk to my manager", and sent the two down a hallway. I never saw the Indian man again as he wasn't on the flight. It was also weird that the terrorist never said a word in this exchange. Anyway, somehow, the terrorist still made it onto the plane. I am not sure if it was a bribe or just sympathy from the security manager.

   FBI also arrested a different Indian man while we were held in customs after a bomb sniffing dog detected a bomb in his carry on bag and he was searched after we landed. This was later confirmed while we were in customs when an FBI agent said to us "You are being moved to another area because this area is not safe. Read between the lines. Some of you saw what just happened."(The arrest of the other Indian man). I am not sure why this hasn't made it into any news story, but I stood about 15-20 feet away from the other Indian man when he was cuffed and arrested after his search.

Flight 253 passenger Kurt Haskell: 'I was visited by the FBI' | Detroit News - - MLive.com

For the last five days I have been reporting my story of the so called "sharp dressed man." For those of you who haven't read my account, it involves a sharp dressed "Indian man" attempting to talk a ticket agent into letting a supposed "Sudanese refugee" (The terrorist) onto flight 253 without a passport. I have never had any idea how it played out except to note that the so called "Sudanese reefugee" later boarded my flight and attempted to blow it up and kill me. At no time did my story involve, or even find important whether the terrorist actually had a passport. The importance of my story was and always will be, the attempt with an accomplice (apparently succesful) of a terrorist with all sorts of prior terrorist warning signs to skirt the normal passport boarding procedures in Amsterdam. By the way, Amsterdam security did come out the other day and admit that the terrorist did not have to "Go through normal passport checking procedures".

   Amsterdam security, please define to the American public "Normal passport boarding procedures".

   You see the FBI would have the American public believe that what was important was whether the terrorist in fact had a passport.

   Seriously think about this people. You have a suicide bomber who had recently been to Yemen to but a bomb, whose father had reported him as a terrorist, who supposedly was on some kind of U.S. terror watchlist, and most likely knew the U.S. was aware of these red flags. Yet, he didn't go through "Normal passport checking procedures." What does that mean? Maybe that he flashed a passport to some sort of sympathetic security manager in a backroom to avoid a closer look at the terrorist's "red flags"? What is important is that the terrorist avoided using normal passport checking procedures (apparently successfully) in order to avoid a closer look into his red flags. Who cares if he had a passport. The important thing is that he didn't want to show it and somehow avoided a closer inspection and "normal passport checking procedures." Each passport comes with a bar code on it that can be scanned to provide a wealth of information about the individual. I would bet that the passport checking procedures for the terrorist did not include a bar code scan of his passport (which could have revealed damning information about the terrorist).

   Please note that there is a very easy way to verify the veracity of my prior "sharp dressed man" account. Dutch police have admitted that they have reviewed the video of the "sharp dressed man" that I referenced. Note that it has not been released anywhere, You see, if my eye witness account is false, it could easily be proven by releasing the video. However, the proof of my eyewitness account would also be verified if I am telling the truth and I am. There is a reason we have only heard of the video and not seen it. dutch authorities, "RELEASE THE VIDEO!" This is the most important video in 8 years and may be all of two minutes long. Show the entire video and "DO NOT EDIT IT"! The American public deserves its own chance to attempt to identify the "sharp dressed man". I have no doubt that if the video indicated that my account was wrong, that the video would have already swept over the entire world wide web.

   Instead of the video, we get a statment that the video has been viewed and that the terrorist had a passport. Each of these statements made by the FBI is a self serving play on semantics and each misses the importance of my prior "sharp dressed man" account. The importance being that the man "Tried to board the plane with an accomplice and without a passort". The other significance is that only the airport security video can verify my eyewitness account and that it is not being released.

   Who has the agenda here and who doesn't? Think about that for a minute.

   AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL
AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO
  ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES

   By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

LiveLeak.com - Obama issues executive order exempting INTERPOL from the restraints of the Constitution and American law while operating in the U.S.

The interesting version of INTERPOL is @ worldreports.org by UK writer/publisher Christopher Story. Read this one for a good time: News - OFFICIAL: MONEY SABOTEURS = ECONOMIC TERRORISTS.

The worries about Obama appears to be a diversion because INTERPOL is actually joining with the DOJ to crush the criminal banker syndicate, according to Mr Story, who tells of a giant lien upon the US Treasury has been activated by European and Chinese governments -- and mysterious planeloads of foreign agents arrived in December. Story's been talking about this for a while, making Obama's executive order a striking confirmation 'something is happening here.'

Mr Story 2009 finale, take it for what you will:

POLICY CHANGE AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE:

ALL U.S. FINANCIAL SUBVERSIVES NOW TREATED AS ECONOMIC TERRORISTS

We can now reveal, on the basis of impeccable authority divulged to us on 26th December 2009 from ‘inside the US structures’, that the US Department of Justice within the Executive Branch has implemented a fundamental POLICY CHANGE and has determined, within the past three weeks or less, and against the background of the calamity surrounding the Lien in the immense sum of $47 trillion activated on about 6th December and imposed by the sovereign Lien Holders – the Chinese parties and the British Monarchical Power – as follows:

• ALL individuals and entities within the United States' jurisdiction that have participated in the stealing, diversion and conversion of funds belonging to others, INCLUDING past and present officials. both elected and appointed, within the US Government and its structures, WILL BE INVESTIGATED AND PROSECUTED FOR ECONOMIC TERRORISM perpetrated against the United States and the American people (and the Rest of the World). Specifically:

• ANYONE, whether officials in, or formerly in Government, whether CEOs of financial institutions or lower-ranking bankers, partners in ‘involved’ US law firms, intermediaries and US intelligence operatives and others who have been engaged in obstructing the Settlements process by ANY MEANS WHATSOEVER AND AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST, and who have, by their actions or by their inactions, contributed to the DELAY, are now being treated as ECONOMIC TERRORISTS.

........ • This POLICY CHANGE is a direct consequence of the situation arising from the implementation of the Lien and the drastic enforcement measures being taken inside the United States by the massed international cadres and ‘men in suits’ referenced in recent reports and below.

• President Obama’s Executive Order Amending Executive Order 12425 dated 16th December and publicised by the Office of the Press Secretary, at the White House, on 17th December, to ‘extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL)’ is associated with this POLICY CHANGE at the Justice Department.

CONTINUED RECKLESSLY CRIMINAL FINANCE INTENTIONS

Hence, the criminal engineers behind this scandalous state of affairs have been frenetically trying to cobble together various alternative money trading mechanisms, together with their ‘necessary’ associated covers which are intended to provide false legitimacy – in the expectation that at least one of these will ‘come good’ and won’t be aborted and/or ‘shot down’ by nasty observers such as ourselves who are on the lookout for the next wave of financial corruption.

The reality of these successive ongoing attempts to construct clandestine transnational trading operations behind variegated covers is evidence of the continuing criminal intentions of those concerned, and of the fact that US Law Enforcement has hitherto disgracefully and weakly allowed these organised criminal financial scams to proliferate, discrediting itself in the process.

In this connection, the representatives of foreign creditor countries and their specialist staffers, intelligence personnel, bankers, IT specialists and enforcement personnel, assisted by the eighth planeload of heavily armed INTERPOL officers, are concerned explicitly with requiring performance under the terms of the Writ of Enforcement and the Lien held by the Chinese parties and the British Monarchical Power in the sum of $47 trillion, exercised against the US Treasury and de facto the Federal Reserve on or about 6th December 2009.

OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: BACK IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

Back in Washington, President Obama’s widely cited Executive Order Amending Executive Order 12425 which extended ‘the appropriate privileges, exemptions and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL)’ promulgated on 17th December 2009, revealed the stark reality that the Chinese and British Monarchical Power Lien Holders were continuing to force the pace – in collaboration here with President Obama who has at times appeared to be out of his depth and has shown some evidence of flip-flopping between the international community, and the harsh pressures placed on him by the arrogant appointees who have continued to defy the Lien Holders (and the President), such as Leon Panetta, the Director of Central Intelligence.

• However that phase is now almost certainly at an end, given not least the very open promulgation of this Executive Order by the White House Press Office.

Promulgation of this Executive Order triggered the predictable knee-jerk responses from those who have not understood what is going on, and who have failed to take on board that the Lien Holders and their servants take precedence over the highest office-holders in the United States, including the President, all of whom, with their predecessors, have been, and remain engaged in criminal conduct which the World Court has condemned. The perception that this represents a setback for the United States is nonsense in the prevailing circumstances – which entail the greatest crisis that the Republic has ever faced, despite it being successfully hidden from the people with the assistance of the co-conspiring so-called ‘mainstream’ press.

‘BRUTAL HORIZONTALISATIONS’ REPORTED FROM EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES

Various anecdotal reports were received after we posted on 17th December, indicating that heavy operations to procure the necessary resolution were continuing. On 21st December 2009, we had established that an unspecified number of people (whether bankers, trustees, intermediaries or operatives, was not stated) had been ‘taken out’ over the weekend of 19th-20th December on both sides of the Atlantic and, in the words of informants, ‘brutally horizontalised’.

‘FOREIGN SUITS’ CONDUCTING AUDITS INSIDE THE FED

On 18th December it was reported to us that a female accountant based in Dallas who had been working as a consultant for the Federal Reserve Board conducting internal audits, was called back from Texas to Washington, DC, where she was bluntly informed that there was no longer any need for her services, and that no funds were available any longer to pay her for consultancy work.

By way of explanation, Federal Reserve officials told her that there were ‘suits in town’ who were ‘doing the books’ (8).

This was a reference to the audit that has been going on since the massive force of international enforcement, audit and related personnel descended on Washington aboard the seven aircraft on 2nd December. The consultant was also openly informed by Federal Reserve officials, to her face, that ‘Geithner is history’ – which is consistent with the fact that Geithner, as we have reported, is under a form of house arrest and has had a monitor attached to him given his resistance to his obligations under the World Court Writ of Enforcement and the requirements of the Lien Holders.

UNREPORTED INTERPOL SHOWDOWN AT REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT

On 22nd December, given the snowstorm, Reagan National Airport serving Washington DC, was widely described as ‘a mess’. But in the late afternoon of 21st December, a certain woman walked to catch a flight that had been rescheduled – only to discover that, along with hundreds of others, she was prevented from proceeding through security.

On the contrary, FBI personnel, Homeland Security operatives and ‘top cops in suits who looked foreign’, with dogs, had stopped the lines going through security for several hours. This situation continued from about 4:30 pm to 7:00pm.

The lady reporting this situation noticed that it was the ‘top cops in suits who were operationally in charge’, and that they were looking for someone. The person concerned eventually made her long delayed flight back home for Christmas, but has repeatedly queried why these events were not being reported, and have still not been reported (9) .

Well that is a fascinating tale and a lot more to it.

The Transportation Security Administration is a headless corrupt golem that threatens the safety of all Americans.

No one is even in charge of this messed up agency, however like many of the federal security-oriented bureaucracies, its security divisions have become bloated and aggressive.

Because of the anti-labor, anti-employee and anti-civil service setup of many of these entities, management acts ruthlessly through the security branches to crush anyone who whistleblows their ridiculous and epic fails.

The point of OPSEC like that perpetrated by the TSA against bloggers Frischling and Elliott is quite frequently to improve the odds of concealing malfeasance, gross negligence, bad behavior, shocking lapses, the odd foreign espionage conspiracy, and contractor fraud and theft.

Anyone doing their job properly is at risk of getting nuked by evil minions with virtually no recourse whatsoever - Robert MacClean is a good guy, a US Federal Air Marshal who got fired in 2006 for causing problems with the goddamn stupid TSA dress code (all air marshals were supposed to wear TSA Dockers probably :-P )Robert MacLean - Wikipedia

I hate hearing stuff like this from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. I wonder also if National Security Letters, DCS abuses for wiretapping & call list operations, other things might come up when Frischling and Elliott get the full MAIN CORE scan. Best of luck to both of 'em.

RCFP: TSA agents subpoena, visit home of second writer

A representative from the Transportation Security Administration visited the home of a second blogger this week to serve a subpoeana seeking the source of a security directive that was posted on the blogger's Web site, Wired reported.

A TSA agent visited the home of Steven Frischling Tuesday night -- the same day established travel writer Christopher Elliott also received a subpoena -- to demand he reveal who supplied him with new screening requirements established by TSA after a would-be bomber boarded a Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit on Christmas Day. Frischling, a freelance writer who authors a blog for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, had published the directive on Dec. 27.

Frischling said agents arrived at his house just moments after he received a phone call from Elliott warning him of a possible visit.

“They came to the door and immediately were asking, ‘Who gave you this document?, Why did you publish the document?’ and ‘I don’t think you know how much trouble you’re in.’ It was very much a hardball tactic,” Frischling told Wired.

Frischling's laptop was seized and he decided to cooperate with the authorities -- handing over the Gmail address from which the security directive was sent -- after receiving advice from an attorney.

The totally fake capitalist insanity of the CCFE - Chicago Climate Futures Exchange and Chicago Climate Exchange (partly owned by who else, Goldman Sachs) is coming to a hegemonic discourse near you! I found this list of insane garbage & had to add it: Membership Categories

Offset Providers: Owners of title to qualifying offset projects that sequester, destroy or reduce GHG emissions. Offset Providers register and sell offsets directly on the CCX (learn more).

Offset Aggregators: Entities that serve as the administrative representative, on behalf of offset project owners, of multiple offset-generating projects. Offset projects involving less than 10,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent per year should be registered and sold through an Offset Aggregator (learn more).
Liquidity Providers:Entities or individuals who trade on CCX for purposes other than complying with the CCX Emission Reduction Schedule, such as market makers and proprietary trading groups (learn more).

Exchange Participants: Entities or individuals who purchase Carbon Financial Instrument® (CFI®) contracts and retire them to offset emissions associated with special events or other specified activities (learn more).

There would NEVER be a bubble, short squeeze or other maneuvers from "liquidity providers". WOW.... The best move would be to get a bunch of these CCX securities with borrowed money and then find out someone else was 'canceling' a bunch of permits. You'd make a mint on the supply squeeze! Now THAT would be really, uh, green. In the cash sense.
Matt Taibbi on Goldman Sachs likely carbon bubble agenda using CCX:

The bank owns a 10 percent stake in the Chicago Climate Exchange, where the carbon credits will be traded. Moreover, Goldman owns a minority stake in Blue Source LLC, a Utahbased firm that sells carbon credits of the type that will be in great demand if the bill passes. Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, who is intimately involved with the planning of cap-and-trade, started up a company called Generation Investment Management with three former bigwigs from Goldman Sachs Asset Management, David Blood, Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris. Their business? Investing in carbon offsets. There's also a $500 million Green Growth Fund set up by a Goldmanite to invest in greentech … the list goes on and on. Goldman is ahead of the headlines again, just waiting for someone to make it rain in the right spot. Will this market be bigger than the energyfutures market?

"Oh, it'll dwarf it," says a former staffer on the House energy committee.

Well, you might say, who cares? If cap-and-trade succeeds, won't we all be saved from the catastrophe of global warming? Maybe — but capandtrade, as envisioned by Goldman, is really just a carbon tax structured so that private interests collect the revenues. Instead of simply imposing a fixed government levy on carbon pollution and forcing unclean energy producers to pay for the mess they make, cap-and-trade will allow a small tribe of greedy-as-hell Wall Street swine to turn yet another commodities market into a private taxcollection scheme. This is worse than the bailout: It allows the bank to seize taxpayer money before it's even collected.

"If it's going to be a tax, I would prefer that Washington set the tax and collect it," says Michael Masters, the hedgefund director who spoke out against oilfutures speculation. "But we're saying that Wall Street can set the tax, and Wall Street can collect the tax. That's the last thing in the world I want. It's just asinine."

COLLAPSE! As noted earlier, the strikingly awesome documentary about Michael Ruppert, peak oil and social collapse is all over BitTorrent now so you can watch it if U like.

Tarnac Ten and that Insurrection: The Tarnac Ten were accused of sabotaging a high-speed train or at least providing some anarchist justification for it. Judicial controls on the "Tarnac Ten" lightened - Infoshop News. I got a kick out of the review of the related manifesto 'The Coming Insurrection' in Adbusters.

Wave of sickness and disease now striking Baby Boomers: Research is now showing that today's "baby boomers", the generation currently eclipsing age 60, is the first generation to be less healthy than the generation before them. Those in this age group are more susceptible to debilitating diseases than in years past, stemming primarily from poor diet and lack of proper exercise.......
