"Astoundingly Disturbing": Obama Administration Claims Power to Wage Endless War Across the Globe

A Pentagon official predicted Thursday the war against al-Qaeda and its affiliates could last up to 20 more years. The comment came during a Senate hearing revisiting the Authorization for Use of Military Force, or AUMF, enacted by Congress days after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. At the hearing, Pentagon officials claimed the AUMF gives the president power to wage endless war anywhere in the world, including in Syria, Yemen and the Congo. "This is the most astounding and most astoundingly disturbing hearing that I've been to since I've been here," said Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine. "You guys have essentially rewritten the Constitution here today." We play an excerpts of Thursday's Senate hearing and our recent interview with Jeremy Scahill, author of the new bestseller, "Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield."

President Obama Heckled During Speech On Gitmo - 23 May 2013

President Obama Major Speech On Drones, Guantanamo, And Counter-Terrorism

Benjamin began shouting just after Obama began remarks on the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The president repeatedly asked Benjamin if he could finish his remarks, at one point pausing to let her finish yelling. "I'm willing to cut that young lady interrupting me some slack, because it's worth being passionate about," Obama said. He even went off script to address the heckler. "The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to," Obama said.



During President Obama's counterterrorism policy speech at National Defense University on Thursday afternoon, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted when the topic turned to the closing of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.

"I'm about to address it, ma'am," Obama said as Benjamin went off about the hunger strike currently taking hold amongst Gitmo detainees. "Why don't you sit down? But you've got to let me speak."

"You are commander-in-chief! You can close Gitmo today!" she continued, despite Obama's repeated protests that he intended to address those issues himself.

"You should let me finish my sentence," he said before explaining his desire for Congress to make it easier to transfer detainees out of the camp, allowing him to fulfill his promise to close Gitmo. "I am confident this legacy problem can be solved, consistent with the rule of law."

Obama also added that he is willing to cut the heckler "some slack" because "it's worth passionate about" the indefinite detention of the prisoners without formal charges.

Several minutes later, Benjamin interrupted once more, decrying the administration's killing of 16-year-old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki with a drone strike. Instead of protesting her interruption, Obama paused his speech and allowed her to rant while security attempted to remove her from the back of the room.

 President Barack Obama Major speech on drone and counterterrorism policy at the National Defense University today

'It's an honor to return to the National Defense University. Here, at Fort McNair, Americans have served in uniform since 1791-- standing guard in the early days of the Republic, and contemplating the future of warfare here in the 21st century.
For over two centuries, the United States has been bound together by founding documents that defined who we are as Americans, and served as our compass through every type of change. Matters of war and peace are no different. Americans are deeply ambivalent about war, but having fought for our independence, we know that a price must be paid for freedom. From the Civil War, to our struggle against fascism, and through the long, twilight struggle of the Cold War, battlefields have changed, and technology has evolved. But our commitment to Constitutional principles has weathered every war, and every war has come to an end.
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, a new dawn of democracy took hold abroad, and a decade of peace and prosperity arrived at home. For a moment, it seemed the 21st century would be a tranquil time. Then, on September 11th 2001, we were shaken out of complacency. Thousands were taken from us, as clouds of fire, metal and ash descended upon a sun-filled morning. This was a different kind of war. No armies came to our shores, and our military was not the principal target. Instead, a group of terrorists came to kill as many civilians as they could.
And so our nation went to war. We have now been at war for well over a decade. I won't review the full history. What's clear is that we quickly drove al Qaeda out of Afghanistan, but then shifted our focus and began a new war in Iraq. This carried grave consequences for our fight against al Qaeda, our standing in the world, and -- to this day -- our interests in a vital region.

RFID MARK OF THE BEAST BRAIN CHIP REVEALED!!!

This is the video documentation from the preliminary ICAACT Radio Frequency Scanning in Croydon, London on April 27th of Mr. Magnus Olsson from Sweden. This is the first of a 3 phase evidence gathering process. To investigate the possibilities of non consented implants . ICAACT was setup to obtain evidence of Serious Human Rights abuses for Victims of Electronic Terrorism worldwide. We aim to provide evidence to the individual Victim, as well as for all victims of these crimes. We specify specific testing equipment, to ensure that the data that is collected worldwide, is conformed and compatible in order for the results to be admissible in both national and international, court systems on a later date. Along with the testing we do case studies, with data obtained through questionnaires.

Was Oklahoma Tornado Prophesied in the Bible? | Prophecy in the News

What about the verse in the Bible that says, My people perish for the lack of knowledge? READ Isaiah 40:24 and Isaiah 41:16. Also, READ Psalms 1:4-6. And there's more IF you're wise enough to find it. "I love ya brother, but you NEED to READ and STUDY the full word of God before you speak!" After all, doesn't the Bible also say, "Lean not on thine own understanding?" The Bible also says to study to show thyself approved. Approved of what, you may ask... KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM! (KJV ONLY)
