While Walter Jones discusses HCR 107 ( the HCR reasserting power of Congress to declare war and declaring any President circumventing Congress unless US is attacked would face an article of impeachment ) and has some bipartisan support , simply note what the Senate has just passed regarding Iran !

September 22, 2012 “Information Clearing House” – Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC) held a press conference, Sept. 21, in Rayburn B-318, to discuss House Concurrent Resolution 107. Rep. Jones was joined by a group of senior retired military officials, constitutional lawyers, and congressional co-sponsors, to discuss HCR 107 (the bill to send an impeachment warning to Obama), which currently has 11 cosponsors.

Speakers at the press conference included:
Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC)
Bruce Fein, specialist in constitutional and international law, Associate Deputy Attorney General under President Reagan, author, “American Empire: Before the Fall”.
Lt. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (USA.Ret), former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002-05) Lt. Colonel Anthony Shaffer, author of “Operation Dark Heart”, exposed the Pentagon data mining program known as Able Danger, and uncovered two terrorist cells involved in 911.

Senate Votes 90-1 Declaration Of War: “A De-Facto Declaration Of War” Against Iran – Rand Paul

Isn’t it nice that our Senate ‘leaders’ have decided upon a “de-facto declaration of war” against Iran, according to Senator Rand Paul. We’ve been warned over and over again by knowledgeable sources such as the LA Times and Family Security Matters that Iran has sleeper cells throughout the US just waiting to unleash un-holy Armageddon upon Americans should we launch an attack against them. From the LA Times story linked above:

” Iranian terrorist cells inside the U.S. have weapons, explosives, money and safe houses; they use contacts with Mexican and Latin American drug cartels to smuggle explosives and weapons into the U.S.”

“They have very detailed information about sensitive sites such as bridges, railroads, airports, military bases, power plants, nuclear sites, water plants, railway stations,” he says.

“If the U.S. or Israel attacked Iran, he says, sleeper cells inside the U.S. would launch suicide bombings and sabotage. Iran would attack Israel and U.S. bases in Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf.”


We’ve learned that Iran practices shooting off EMP missiles on a regular basis. In fact, should they do this to the US after being attacked, over 90% of Americans would likely be dead within 10 months because of the widespread loss of what we depend upon most, electrical power. What a failure of National Security that would be. In the meantime, our own DHS has been shown to NOT have a plan to deal with an EMP attack. How many millions of dollars have these “people” wasted worrying about the trivial while neglecting potential attacks that could leave 90% of our country dead? This doesn’t pass the smell test.


How is it that these Senate ‘leaders’ of our once great nation don’t take into account the potential loss of lives of hundreds of millions of Americans should we do something so insane as to launch an attack against a nation that hasn’tattacked another foreign nation in over 250 years?How does America rate in comparison to that? We seem to start another war every few years against some country’s dictator that we previously installed that the global elitists want to run out of town. Meanwhile, Iran’s own neighbor secretly owns enough nuclear weapons to wipe out Iran and all the rest of the Middle East along with it. Any attack upon Iran should be thought out a whole lot more before we just go charging full steam ahead like we’ve done far too many times in the last 50 years. The lives of 9 out of the 10 people you see around you right now could very well be at stake with another disastrous US military decision. Or, is that what they want?
