Except there is no "viable" constitution; it's a paper tiger that is NOT adhered to, much less enforced. These "constitutionalists" have eyes to see, but they see NOT.

VIDEO. ‘US Constitution overtaken by military: Alfred Lambremont Webre

author: Interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre

==================================================== The Constitution [Law of the Land] is a Seven Article CONTRACT/COMPACT between We the People and the ones the Contract authorized to Act on behalf of the People in International Trade and Commerce. Under Ex Ord. 12803, G.H.W. Bush sold the military off to Private Corporations. These Corporations thought they could take over anything owned by the People of the Global Community of Mankind. They used the Texas Joe Hunt's principles.. they set up bank accounts around the world.. off shore accounts for themselves.. in their lust for power.. they forgot those accounts could not be opened without the KEYS of the Account Holder being his VOICE, FINGERPRINTS and PROPER NUMBERS. These greedy staunches murdered the Account Holder.. that eliminated the first two.. now they need the NUMBERS. Now ain't that cute?! WONDER IF HELL WILL FREEZE OVER?!

'US Constitution overtaken by military: Alfred Lambremont Webre Interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre WATCH INTERVIEW:  link to www.presstv.ir The US is now a lawless and rogue state, where the military has overtaken the Constitution and it is entirely transparent, in my judgment, both as an attorney and as a war crimes judge." Press TV has conducted an interview with Alfred Lambrement Webre, international lawyer from Vancouver, about the Bradley Manning trial in a US military court. The following is an approximate transcript of the interview. Press TV: Do you think this was an open and shut case, in terms of the point of view of the judge, that Manning was going to be guilty no matter what, because the US is so after protecting its national security? And, of course, anybody who leaks any files is going to be found guilty because, well, they don't want to send out the wrong message? Webre: This is a military court martial and you have Colonel Lind as the judge. And the ruling of the judge defies belief. What the judge said is that because the documents, that Bradley Manning leaked went out over the internet, they could possibly have been seen by al-Qaeda, therefore they could have possibly aided and abetted the enemy - which is a chain of information that defies belief. There was no evidence introduced at the trial that any of the documents aided and abetted the enemy. However, this has two grave implications: number one, it is clear that from the military point of view, the prosecutors who represent the defense establishment, they consider Wikileaks to be in the same shoes as any of the media, such as The New York Times, or any of the mainstream media, such that if any source gives information to The New York Times, which it then prints, or prints on its website, then a military prosecutor could argue, 'oh, you've just aided and abetted the enemy with that information'. So, it is entirely self-serving and it's a total constitutional violation of the protection of the media, under the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Secondly, this shows how the United States is becoming increasingly a police state because, in this case, what you have is an execution of the US Department of Defense, which has engaged in wars of aggression, such as the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq, that have been found to be illegal wars of aggression - war crimes. Each of which were started by a false flag, mainly September 11, 2001, in the case of the war in Afghanistan; and in the case of Iraq, the false statements of the US Ambassador to the United Nations in the United Nations that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, which was another false flag. So those wars of aggression were started and here you have individuals acting under the First Amendment, acting under the UN Declaration of Human Rights - such as Bradley Manning, such as Edward Snowden who are trying to protect humanity from a global military dictatorship and that military dictatorship is now, through the rulings of the Bradley Manning trial, trying to protect itself. So, this is entirely transparent and it's transparent to anybody who looks at it. The US is now a lawless and rogue state, where the military has overtaken the Constitution and it is entirely transparent, in my judgment, both as an attorney and as a war crimes judge. BUT! What about the MILITARY'S RETIREMENT, HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS etc., etc. etc.? Pentagon chief can't offer hope in budget cuts author: LARA JAKES, AP ==================================================== Wonder what GEN. PATTON and IKE would have responded as ROMMEL advanced, and advanced, and advanced straight into the CORP of OPERATIONS?!

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The audience gasped in surprise and gave a few low whistles as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delivered the news that furloughs, which have forced a 20 percent pay cut on most of the military's civilian workforce, probably will continue next year and might worsen. "Those are the facts of life," Hagel told about 300 Defense Department employees, most of them middle-aged civilians, last week at an Air Force reception hall on a military base in Charleston. Future layoffs also are possible for the department's civilian workforce of more than 800,000 employees, Hagel said, if Congress fails to stem the cuts in the next budget year, which starts Oct. 1. On the heels of the department's first furlough day, and in three days of visits with members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, Hagel played the unenviable role of messenger to a frustrated and fearful workforce coping with the inevitability of a spending squeeze at the end of more than a decade of constant and costly war. The fiscal crunch also lays bare the politically unpopular, if perhaps necessary, need to bring runaway military costs in line with most of the rest of the American public that has struggled economically for years. "Everybody's bracing for the impact," Army Master Sgt. Trey Corrales said, after Hagel spoke with soldiers during a quick stop at Fort Bragg, N.C. Corrales' wife, a military civilian employee, is among those furloughed, and they have cancelled their cable TV and started carpooling to work to save money. The furloughs have hit about 650,000 civilian employees but also have slowed health care and other services for the uniformed military, which has stopped some training missions and faces equipment shortages due to the budget shortfalls. Troops were told this month they will no longer receive extra pay for deployments to 18 former global hot spots no longer considered danger zones. Troops already are facing force reductions, and the Army alone has announced plans to trim its ranks by 80,000 over the next five years. ——— Follow Lara Jakes on Twitter at  https://twitter.com/larajakesAP Associated Press
