Post 126: Not about House Flipping and Cannabis Entrepreneurship - 6.4.2024

Good afternoon.

Let us discuss the status of the aid bills at this time.

Start with a question or more:

On what day did the student protests at Columbia University begin?

On what day did the student protests at University of Texas - Austin begin?

On what day did the student protests at the University of Chicago begin?

On what day were arrests commenced of student protesting at Columbia University?

On what day were arrests commenced for students protesting at the University of Texas-Austin?

On what day were arrests commenced for students at Columbia University?

On the day that the announcement was made that protests had begun at the University of Texas-Arlington, a press release was also sent to the media. The media reported that among the demands of the student protestors were that the university system divest from certain companies, specifically Lockheed Martin. At this time, the State of Texas has allowed for a representation of law of that which it holds out as enforceable restrictions with attendant penalties regarding efforts to boycott, sanction or divest from companies that invest in Israel. The manners in which these alleged laws were put into effect, however, violate not only the federal constitution, but also the constitution of the State of Texas.

Thus far no significant effort has been made to adequately address the unconstitutionality of alleged “state laws” regarding the BDS movement. The Constitution of the State of Texas, however, gives the Attorney General the constitutional authority to fully audit ANY corporation or company engaged in business in the State of Texas if there is a compelling interest in so doing. While I contend that calls for divestment without a specific verifiable legal context are problematic and that the state’s anti-BDS laws are unconstitutional I do understand that the request from the students at UT-Arlington met the standard. Were the alleged Attorney General of Texas to have actually done his job and called for an audit of Lockheed Martin specific to the constitutional legitimacy of Texas university students demanding accountability from the state regarding its corporate activities, then the Attorney General would not have had far to look. JUST THAT DAY Lockheed Martin was awarded TWO contracts from the Department of Defense for activities to occur, in among other places, the State of Texas. In fact, let us consider the following questions:

What DoD contract awards were offered on the day that the protests of students at Columbia University was began? What about the day after?

What DoD contract awards were offered on the day that the student protests at University of Texas-Austin was began? What about the day after?

What DoD contract awards were offered on the day that the student protests at the University of Chicago was began? What about the day after?

Here’s another question: What contract awards were offered on the days of and days after the arrests of students at those universities?

Here’s another question: What DoD contract awards were offered on the above-mentioned days ten years earlier?

We have many saying they want an end to the “War in Gaza.” We have many saying they want additional of specifically more aid to Israel to respond to “Palestinian terrorism.” What specific means are we to engage to “Stop the War in Gaza?” What specific “additional aid” to Israel is being requested?

A recent tribunal was called to investigate war crimes in Gaza. There was supposedly a verdict for Israel to “prevent genocide.” There was another tribunal. Did any of those engaged in those or other “tribunals” or “courts” regarding the “War in Gaza” READ the U.S. bill for “military assistance to Ukraine, Israel and...where else?” Do we even know?

By collapsing the aid for Israel into the aid for Ukraine and before the aid for...the other country...we put Israel in a position of being “grandfathered in” to one of the gravest character flaws engaged by members of the United States Congress and Senate in the form of the passage of the “Lend-Lease” act of May 2022 for alleged “military aid” to Ukraine. Is that “bill” actually a “legal act?” Or was it “bid” on to be...appropriated for later?

In the current “aid package” for Ukraine, Israel and...that other country...there is a specific appropriation under the auspices of “drug enforcement” for “clandestine methamphetamine laboratories in wilderness areas.” In what manner is a clandestine meth lab in the woods and efforts to interdict in narcotics trafficking supposed to be “military aid?” It isn’t. And we have NOT been honest about that because of what it actually IS instead. It is an effort to OBLIGATE the Ukraine to race-coded narcotics bids in the form of “drug enforcement efforts” in the U.S. that themselves have not been legislated OR enforced constitutionally or effectively.

The insincere efforts of the U.S. Congress to appear to chastise Ukraine for the “aid” we sent there when we needed it domestically were not only errant, but in and of themselves emblematic of the manners in which we attempted to cover up for our own crimes. AND THEY ARE CRIMES. Even someone of MY age remembers the manners in which such efforts were protested by movements in the United States for what it did to Latin America, and by virtue of what it did to Latin America what it did to “inner cities” of the United States. One of the unfortunate consequences of the “Opiate Epidemic” and the manners in which we addressed it legislatively and judicially is that it exposed the “race coding” of narcotics trafficking in the United States. Methamphetamine is especially race-coded when it comes to the “Middle East” and representations of “Middle Easterners” who do not necessarily qualify as “Islamic terrorists.” It ALSO has a history of accusations made in the 1990s and early 2000s – around the time of the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act – of the disproportionate availability of manufactured “ecstasy” and other such “designer drugs” manufactured in the Ukraine. It was a part of the “mythos” of the “Ukrainian Oligarch.” We had congressional hearings that were supposed to “target” the criminal conspiracy of Russian and Ukrainian Oligarchy. Why are we now more than 25 years later appropriating “military aid” for bidding on this “Ukrainian Oligarchy?”

There is much more revealed in even a cursory perusal of the act. Every member of Congress and every member of the Senate – including those vocally supporting it or vocally decrying it – knows that what we are contending is intentionally obscurant of what we ARE DOING. Military outlays can turn over quickly, but we already know the appropriations process and budgeting for the military means that these “contracts” can take YEARS to come to fruition, even if certain aspects of them are available readily within a year to three years.

What did the DoD “bid” on the dates identified above 5 years ago? How about ten years ago? How about 30 years ago?

Did you keep track?

 We were REQUIRED to keep track.

Did Ukraine?

Did Israel? 

Did...the other country?

Did YOU keep track of the DoD contract awards from the summer of 2019, during the “election season,” when students and even entire schools were protesting to support Climate Justice initiatives, including by going on strike and walking out of school in peaceful protests that had not only been pre-coordinated – showing many skills and demonstrating many potentials we hope for our young leaders to cultivate and put to the benefit of society – but that were announced in advance. Did you keep track of how “candidate statements” on their “green energy” platforms correlated with those DoD contracts?

Did you keep track of the DoD “contracts” that were awarded from the late Spring of 2020 and throughout the rest of the year while people in the U.S. were protesting police shootings in cities throughout the U.S.? We already know the relationship between municipal bond offers and the DoD; is THAT why we did NOT say ANYTHING about how many of those shooting events occurred WHILE THERE WAS A PENDING BOND ISSUE FOR THE CITY OF CONCERN? Did they use the cases they were bidding as “insurance” for their DoD contract bid? Did YOU put in your own “hedge” for later contract awarding?

Did you get the “jobs” you needed for your state? Are you paying those protestors or those students that were arrested as counting that toward your job counts? I understand those 200,000 young leaders that came to Washington, DC in 2018 and those young leaders of black America announcing in 2015 and 2016 that they needed jobs for the people in the community were NOT talking about “secret conscription” for military weapons development paradigms.

But we ALSO have that “lend-lease” with Ukraine. What is “Ukraine” supposed to “pay back” and with what is “Ukraine” supposed to “pay back?”

Some of those contracts from 2019 had one- to three-year terms.

Some of those contracts from 2020 had one- to three-year terms.

Are we “lend-leasing” those defense articles to Ukraine? Or did we do something else?

We are not talking about “humanitarian aid” when we discuss Ukraine but we insist on remanding the Palestinian nation to “humanitarian aid.” We have not allowed for an acknowledgement of the underlying political justifications of the “equity” considerations that refuse to equate the abuse of power and injustice of the Russian war on Ukraine with the Israeli attack on Gaza. Why?

We did NOT need “additional aid” packages authorized for the Ukraine in order to honor our international agreements and our own treaty arrangements with Ukraine. IT HAD ALREADY BEEN APPROPRIATED AND APPROVED. But it was NOT allowed to be made available to deliver. Why not? Why have we had NO substantial air lifts to Ukraine? We cannot get one air strike to support Ukraine. Why not? It has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. What happened to the line items appropriations? What happened to the accounts that were supposed to be kept open and active for the appropriate time frame, or until “fully expended?” We did not use those monies so WHERE ARE THEY? We did not use those weapons or those jets so WHERE ARE THEY? Did we authorize those appropriations under one agency or department and just “hold” them until needed or ready for delivery and then “loan” against or “lend out” the items of concern and because of what they were used for and the fact that the loan or lease is STILL ACTIVE and not APPROPRIATELY ACCOUNTED FOR AND RECONCILED we cannot use the actual financing or credit that would be needed to successfully implement the airlift or the airstrike without it ending in “catastrophe?” Is that what was meant by “Don’t send the money to Ukraine, we need it here for the Covid?”

Would it make a difference if it was, say, Sudan, that needed an airlift?

How about Honduras?

We could have ended the “border crisis” five years ago. We had the money and we ALREADY HAD THE MEANS BY WHICH TO DO SO APPROPRIATED. We did not have a “coup” and the appropriations had been put into effect for years. Why did we NOT do it?

We could have ended the War in Ukraine in less than 90 days. WE COULD HAVE BUT WE DID NOT. Why? What did the delay prove?

Israel itself said that the War in Gaza could end in 30 days. Why did it not? Why is it STILL ONGOING?

We were not constitutionally authorized to do what was done. We were not constitutionally authorized to refuse to do what we were required to do.

The day of the passage of the recent aid for Ukraine, Israel and...that other country...there was also a passage in one house for an alleged “Intelligence Reform” bill about...what? I did not read the whole bill – it was such a blatant political ploy. They coded the aid to Ukraine, Israel and ... that other country ... to that “intelligence reform bill.” Why is the FBI required to provide the surety on FISA proceedings? Did we just forget what we already bid on recently regarding Watergate? Did Congress and the Senate agree that the House of Representatives refused to file charges to impeach Richard Nixon for what he did with the Department of State and specifically the CIA in regards to the FBI and the DOJ because in fact IT HAD EVERY INTENTION OF DOING AS THE LEGISLATURE WHAT NIXON WAS ACCUSED OF DOING IN THE EXECUTIVE? For how many years? Why do we need a signature from a department director of the FBI to “approve” interrogation scenarios or other “FISA proceeding” processes? Does the President’s signature just NOT have the “credit” needed to offset the liability on the Constitutional void anymore?

That means we WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DO IT TO BEGIN WITH AND WE KNEW IT.

We cannot “lend-lease” out theft of other countries’ people – or our own – and then violate the Constitution AGAIN in order to cover it up. There is a COST. It is not just about “political capital brokering during an election.” We appropriate and we finance on the faith and credit of the people as it is delegated to us and we CANNOT OBLIGATE THE PEOPLE TO BREAK THE CONSTITUTION even if the “delegates” believe they can get away with it personally. This is NOT even about “sovereign” or “governmental immunity.” It is about the “bad faith” of those who intend to assume office to VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION either as an individual or in concert with a class. We have the burden of PROVING that what we try to obligate the people to or what we accept as an obligation ourselves and on behalf of the people is Constitutional and we cannot blame the military and we cannot try to bribe “federal workers” or private sector workers whose pension portfolios include investments in schemes for federal employees – even if those “employees” are members of the legislature or on the bench. There is a cost.

I contend we do not have congressional authority to pay for ANYTHING in the intelligence reform act. I also contend that we may well have laundered so much money through and via the DoD that it has impacted our capacity to Constitutionally pay for other departments. Where are the results of the Pentagon audit that was authorized and supposed to be completed BEFORE COVID-19?

We do not have the Congressional authority to authorize any more Department of Defense contract awards until we address the reasons why and what it means insofar as we KNOW we do not have the authority and allege ourselves to do so anyhow. If other departments are funded secretly or “clandestinely” by virtue of what we do via DoD contract awards then we do not have the Congressional authority to fund them either. I contend we have to estop any further funding for DoD contract awards as of today, June 4, 2024 and anything else that is based on laundering money through DoD contract awards until further notice.

How many days can an alleged “member of Congress” or “member of the Senate” sit in that seat and say they are a Congresswoman or man or Senator before the whole system “defaults?”

We do not have any authority to say any other country has to pay for us – or donate to us – when it does.
