to Strip You of Right to Travel Without Trial - Freedom Outpost
Congress Infringes on Due Process:
Votes to Allow Obama to Strip You
of Right to Travel Without Trial
Another day, another right lost to the political corruption in
Washington. In a move that has garnered almost "no" media attention, the
House of Representatives passed HR 237, known as the "FTO
(foreign terrorist organization) Passport Revocation Act, which allows
the "Obama administration the unilateral power to strip you of your
passport and right to travel without a trial or even criminal charges."
This piece of legislation did not receive a "recorded vote" due to the
"uncontroversial" support and passed after only 15 minutes of "supposed"
debate. For anyone caught up in this "web" wrongly, there is no
recourse contained in the legislation to "challenge the status as a
non-person involuntarily trapped inside US borders by order of the
secretary of state."
According to Infowars.com, "Lawmakers, some of whom could themselves be caught in the dragnet along with myriad administration officials, praised the effort as a way to stop alleged terrorists from travelling."
Congress wants to prevent "alleged terrorists" from travelling.
Moreover, who does the federal government consider as terrorists? Documents obtained by Judicial Watch indicates the government considers approximately 72 types of US citizens as potential terrorists
are while any reference to Islam is conspicuously missing. The White
House, aka Ayatollah Obama, declares the unilateral authority to murder
by drone or detain American citizens indefinitely without due process,
charging them with a crime, or on "alleged" criminal activity.
The federal government wants to prevent "alleged terrorists" from leaving the country; however, this
same government allows American citizens who fought with ISIS to return
with impunity while claiming to "monitor" these traitors. So, just who is the government trying to keep from leaving? It's not Islamic jihadis.
Americans can thank Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) for his sponsorship of the
bill, which was "adopted under 'suspension of the rules' typically used
for trivialities such as renaming post offices." In looking at the bill,
it clearly states, "to authorize the revocation or denial of passports
and passport cards to individuals affiliated with foreign terrorist
organizations, and for other purposes." [Emphasis mine.]
Some who read this bill will say, "Now, Suzanne, you are going off
the deep end here with this as it only applies to individuals who aid,
abet, assist or help 'an organization the Secretary of State has
designated as a foreign terrorist organization'. There's nothing to
worry about if we're not helping terrorist organizations."
Well, under any other circumstances with any other Congress,
president, Secretary of State prior to say 1990, there might not be
cause for worry. However, with the liberal usurpation of unilateral
authority to murder with drones and hold US citizens indefinitely
without any due process, the stretch to false accusations for nefarious
purposes by this administration or anyone in it isn't far. There are no
set criteria in this "new" attack on liberty. The terms are undefined
and there remains no appeals process. It creates an avenue for
widespread abuse by the current Secretary of State, John Kerry, along
with future occupants of that office.
Did anything in that document declare that actual evidence had to
exist to invoke a passport revocation? The only criteria the document
indicated were "whom the Secretary of State has determined ...."
Basically, the new legislation, should it pass the Senate and be signed
by Ayatollah Obama, could leave citizens stranded outside the United
States as well as prevent citizens from leaving based on "secret"
evidence or the whim of "one" individual. As a reminder, the NSA
maintains a vast database of unlawfully, unconstitutionally gathered
communications data on every US citizen that could be "sliced and diced"
against targeted individuals to produce an appearance of "criminality"
where none exists.
Naturally, Rep. Poe spins his "tapestry" like this.
"Daily, deadly attacks around the world remind us that radical Islamic
terrorists are spreading their murderous rampage worldwide. The threat
to America from these groups has never been greater. But some of our own
citizens have traveled to the terrorists hotbeds in Syria and beyond to
fight for the other side. These Benedict Arnold traitors who have
turned against America and joined the ranks of foreign radical terrorist
armies should lose all rights afforded to our citizens."
No one would argue that traitors should lose their rights, but only
after following due process, a trial by jury and a finding of guilt for
treason or being guilty of being a traitor. However, the determination
of revocation of rights by one individual, instead of the due process
guaranteed every US citizen in the Constitution, reeks of unilateral,
dictatorial power.
Poe continued by saying, "This will help law enforcement locate these
individuals by making it easier to flag the individuals who are trying
to travel internationally. Most importantly, this legislation will help
prevent Americans from coming back to the United States undetected."
Anyone else want to call "BS?" With an open southern border allowing who knows who to cross and be welcomed with open arms and our Ayatollah importing unvetted Muslims daily from every terrorist nation in the Middle East into our communities,
these "charlatans" are more concerned about Americans re-entering
"undetected." The FBI knows who these individuals are and the FBI allows
them to re-enter the US with impunity. Granted, these individuals
should not be allowed to return; however, US citizens should be afforded
due process in order to establish their guilt or innocence. Guilty
individuals should receive a traitor's punishment. Poe certainly does
not want to address the policy of illegal, unconstitutional "amnesty" or
the lack of enforcement of immigration laws as it relates to this
"passport revocation."
Could anyone answer the question of how many non-Muslim US citizens
actually travel to terrorist nations to fight with terrorists? Let's be
honest here. All terrorists are Muslims, while not all Muslims are terrorists -- yet.
Poe, like a good little RINO, continues digging a pothole. He states,
"The House has now acted to locate and contain these traitors. It's
time for the Senate to quickly do the same. These people are not
returning to America to open up coffee shops; they're coming back to
kill. Let's stop them from coming back at all."
It sounds good and something on which everyone could agree. In fact,
known terrorists should be barred entry or re-entry into this nation;
however, it's moot when the administration imports terrorists freely
daily.
To clarify, the United States should bar the immigration of
Muslims and the re-entry of Muslims into this nation. The "Americans"
who are leaving to fight with terrorists have a connection to Islam.
Still, the Constitution affords every US citizen due process. A better idea would be to stop importing terrorists by denying Islam-practicing individuals entry into this nation.
Instead of identifying the problem as Islam and acting accordingly,
this lame government blindly barrels forward with inept legislation
filled with "unintended consequences;" or, is it?
And, what about "containing" the traitors sitting in this
administration, Congress and the biggest one of all, Ayatollah Obama?
Funny, nothing mentioned about that. Treason is treason and traitors are
traitors whether they aid and abet the enemy or violate their oath of
office to support, protect, defend and uphold the Constitution of the
united States of America. Maybe Poe should start looking in both
chambers of Congress and the White House first.
According to Infowars.com,
"Critics said it was yet another attack on the fundamental rights of
Americans, such as due process protections, and that it must be
resisted."
But, this is the crux of the issue - attacking the fundamental rights of Americans - not a crackdown on those who participate in treasonous and terrorist activities. Poe called individuals who joined to fight with foreign Islamic terror groups as "Benedict Arnold traitors." Would that not also include those who "aid and abet" those groups? The legislation declares it so, which means the dragnet would net Senator John McCain should he desire to travel and pose with known terrorists, again. Not only would McCain be caught, but so would Kerry, Obama, Jarrett and a host of other officials. Oh wait, they exempt themselves; however, these individuals are some of the biggest supporters of terrorist and terrorist organizations in the united States.
Another surprise Americans face is the denial of travel for "alleged tax debts."
As the New American reports, "... just this week, the Senate included a
provision in the 'transportation' bill it introduced that would strip the passports of anyone the IRS claims owes over $50,000."
Section 52102 of the Senate bill calls for revocation or denial of
passports based on unpaid taxes. The Commissioner of the Internal
Revenue Service only has to submit "certification" to the Secretary of
State stating an individual "has a seriously delinquent tax debt in an
amount in excess of $50,000, ...."
Considering the honesty of the IRS,
Americans need not be concerned, or so some would contend. At the rate
Obama uses the IRS as his "strong arm" against political opposition with
impunity, every American should be concerned.
All of this is nothing more than bypassing US citizens' rights to due process.
Anyone who studies the history of the rise of Nazi Germany knows that on October 5, 1938, a passport revocation decree resulted in the confiscation of passports held by Jewish German citizens.
While the House has not specifically targeted a "certain" group or
groups of citizens, the "unintended consequences" are enormous for that
to happen considering the propensity for this administration to target
opposition groups. If this administration continues its criminal course
to unilaterally deny individual God-given rights guaranteed by the
Constitution, our nation's government will follow the path of Hitler's
regime. They will succeed as long as citizens continue their "head down"
to get by plan of inaction and liberal "traitors" continue their
support of a corrupt government and administration.
