By Chuck Baldwin<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the heels of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), otherwise known as the \u201cIndefinite Detention Act,\u201d comes another draconian bill designed to give the federal government the power to turn American citizens into enemies of the state for virtually any reason it deems necessary<\/strong>. Stephen D. Foster, Jr. has the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress is considering HR 3166 and S. 1698<\/strong> also known as the Enemy Expatriation Act<\/strong>, sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Charles Dent (R-PA). This bill would give the US government the power to strip Americans of their citizenship without being convicted of being \u2018hostile\u2019 against the United States.<\/strong> In other words, you can be stripped of your nationality for \u2018engaging in, or purposefully and materially supporting, hostilities against the United States.\u2019 Legally, the term \u2018hostilities\u2019 means any conflict subject to the laws of war but considering the fact that the War on Terror is a little ambiguous and encompassing, any action could be labeled as supporting terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Foster goes on to say, \u201cI hope I\u2019m wrong, but it sounds to me like this is a loophole for indefinitely detaining Americans. Once again, you just have to be accused of supporting hostilities which could be defined any way the government sees fit<\/strong>. Then the government can strip your citizenship and apply the indefinite detention section of the NDAA without the benefit of a trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ever since Congress passed the Patriot Act back in 2001<\/strong>, it seems the floodgates have been opened<\/strong> for more and more intrusions and abridgements of those fundamental liberties expressly protected in the Bill of Rights<\/strong>. From the Patriot Act, to the Military Commissions Act, to the NDAA (Indefinite Detention Act), and to now the Enemy Expatriation Act (EEA)<\/strong>, these big government toadies in Washington, D.C., are clearly and unmistakingly declaring war on the American people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I invite readers to see my column on the NDAA at:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/chuckbaldwinlive.com\/home\/?p=4382<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Ron Paul, Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, from Texas's 14th district. Currently GOP Candidate for U.S. President<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have we forgotten the MIAC report out of the State of Missouri back in 2009? In that official State report, supporters of Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin were identified as potential dangerous \u201cmilitia members,\u201d and Missouri State law enforcement officials were notified to be on guard. Beyond that, anyone that identified themselves as being pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, anti-Federal Reserve, Christians who believe in the return of Christ, and even returning Iraq War veterans were likewise targeted as potentially dangerous<\/strong> to Missouri State law enforcement personnel.<\/p>\n

After the MIAC report surfaced, Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and I sent a letter to the governor of Missouri demanding that the report be removed and that the State of Missouri repudiate the report. After a firestorm of outrage by thousands of Americans all over the country (not just in Missouri) the State of Missouri did indeed remove and repudiate the report.<\/p>\n

Totalitarian regimes throughout history have attempted to marginalize those people that the state intended to target for persecution. Once a group or groups of people had been sufficiently marginalized, it wasn\u2019t long before public condemnation and then military retaliation took place. Legislation such as the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, the NDAA, and now the EEA authorize military power to be used against US citizens, and given the propensity of government propagandists in the National Press Corps to marginalize groups of people whose ideas are thought to be politically incorrect, it\u2019s only a matter of time before the executive branch of the federal government begins utilizing the dictatorial powers that have been granted to it by Congress. And, unfortunately, many State governments seem more than willing to participate in the Machiavellian machinations put forward by Washington, D.C. The MIAC report in the State of Missouri is a prime example.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadder still is the way so many Christian pastors and churches have become little more than glorified cheerleaders for Statism and Militarism. While the Trojan Horse of Big Government sits unnoticed in Town Square, so-called Christians spend most of their time either trying to kill each other because of differences of opinion over secondary doctrines, or trying to turn their worship services into miniature versions of Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I ask you, did you hear anything from your pastor regarding NDAA<\/span>?<\/strong> Did you hear anything from your pastor regarding the Patriot Act or the Military Commissions Act? If not, do you really think you will hear him say anything about the EEA? Again I ask you, are not the fundamental principles of liberty as valuable and as scriptural as the so-called \u201cfamily values\u201d we hear pastors talk so much about? I would argue that without the undergirding foundational principles of liberty (codified in the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights), the so-called \u201cfamily values\u201d would become moot very quickly! Before Hitler\u2019s government could begin marching people off to concentration camps, it had to destroy the foundational elements of liberty in the hearts and minds of the German people\u2013including German pastors and churches. A government that doesn\u2019t respect your liberty will not respect your life, your family, your religion, or your morality!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this point, I invite readers to watch my address from last Sunday, January 8, 2012. In this address, I deal forthrightly with the NDAA and show the scriptural instruction regarding how unlawful and illegitimate government is the chief source of \u201ctribulation\u201d that the Bible talks so much about. I also give a scriptural outline as to how Christian people are to relate and respond to government\u2013both good and bad. Watch my Sunday address at:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/chuckbaldwinlive.com\/home\/?p=4400<\/a><\/p>\n

While we are on the topic of liberty, someone has produced a fascinating clip of Congressman Ron Paul showing the predictions he made on the floor of the US House of Representatives back in 2002\u2013along with the fulfillment of those predictions in subsequent news headlines. People who view this brief You Tube video might just begin to understand why Congressman Paul is the only Presidential candidate who truly understands the causes of this loss of liberty taking place in our land. See Dr. Paul\u2019s speech on the House floor at:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zGDisyWkIBM<\/a><\/p>\n

Given the way congressmen and senators from both major parties are willing to grant dictatorial powers to the President, it seems likely that the EEA will pass in much the same way as did the NDAA. It seems to me that the longer we keep expecting Washington, D.C., to solve our problems, the more our problems will increase. Remember the sagacious words of President Ronald Reagan: \u201cGovernment is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.\u201d Listen to that quote at:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/chuckbaldwinlive.com\/home\/?p=145<\/a><\/p>\n

If we are going to \u201cguard and defend\u201d (Daniel Webster) our liberties, it is going to take states and local communities to do it, because those miscreants in Washington, D.C., are doing everything they can to dismantle our liberties, not protect them. We need State governors, lieutenant governors, attorney generals, and sheriffs to stand in the gap NOW! And in that vein, I invite readers to follow the Fanning-Baldwin Montana gubernatorial campaign at the following Facebook and Twitter pages:<\/p>\n

In the meantime, beware! The Enemy Expatriation Ac<\/strong>t is coming soon, and with the way things are going, YOU could be deemed the enemy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
