Congressional Legislation Obliquely Vesting the U.S. Presidency with Dictatorial Authority & Contravening Citizen Due Process Rights

A Prelude To & In Preparation for A New Political Order 

Imperator Pontifex-Maximus Julius Caesar was vested with dictatorial authority by the Senate of the Republic of Rome; as dictator, he became virtual emperor and the Republic of Rome an imperial oligarchy until its fall more than four hundred years later. Parliament of the Weimar Republic of Germany vested Chancellor Adolph Hitler with dictatorial authority; Hitler became fuhrer and Germany became an imperial oligarchy until the military defeat of Hitler and his Nazi regime years later.  Congressional oligarchs (party makes no difference) pass legislation (the National Defense Authorization bill/act) vesting the unitary executive (President and commander in chief) with dictatorial authority, no doubt in preparation and anticipation of regime change in the U.S.

No doubt this action by the overwhelmingly wealth-class Congress (both houses), representing foremost wealth-class interests, is an hysterical, paranoid defensive overreaction to Occupy’s denunciations of rogue Wall Street; its demands for tax increases on those with incomes of $1,000,000 or more, taxes on the commodities markets’ derivatives transactions, restrictions on lobbying of Congress by “Beware of men dressed in fine raiment bearing gifts (campaign contributions, wining and dining, mercenary lovers, entertainment, recreation, etc. — legal bribes),” or Congressional lobbyists for big corporate and wealth-class interests; and its calls for an amendment to the Constitution redefining a corporation as a non-human (so corporations cannot spend unlimited human free-speech money to influence politics) as well as the prosecution of Wall Street and banking system crooks that caused the mortgage meltdown and world economic recession, in addition to the damage it did to the big banks by asking depositors to take their money out of the big banks responsible for the mortgage meltdown and to redeposit it in trustworthy community banks and credit unions and the pressure (by bad publicity) it is putting on meltdown banks to renegotiate mortgage balances and monthly payments with home purchaser victims in trouble in making their mortgage payments.  Such highly publicized demands and general public support for them likely have scared and distressed Congress, Wall Street and the majority of the big corporations and wealth class beyond their tolerance. Congress appears to be doing nothing other with this legislation than using “The War on Terror” as a smokescreen to authorize the U.S. military to apprehend and lock up indefinitely or permanently, in override the Post Civil War Era Posse Comitatus Act, of any undesirable individual or group of people, citizens and non-citizens alike, on a mass scale if necessary, in the U.S., without the right of legal due process or challenge, under an unproven or unevidenced charge of “terrorism” by an official of a security office of the President’s executive office cabinet (such as Homeland Security, the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, etc.). Thus, the National Defense Authorization Act institutes a permanent de-facto state of martial law in the U.S.

However, Occupy needs to give up those nasty, nuisance tent cities as well as side-show gestural, symbolic political action, and meaningfully and directly face off on the rogue financial elitist, right-wing power structure (Wall Street, the banking system, the fossil fuels industry, the nuclear power plant industry, the weapons and war industries, near monopoly and big communications media, and on-government lobbyist profession), as opposed to the compassionate, communitarian wealthy and not menace, disrupt or provoke ordinary business and commerce, citizens, public and private property and particularly local civil authorities, including the police, and such government operations.
