Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said Wednesday that a program put in place to combat U.S. citizens engaged in terrorism may be expanded to include journalists.
Speaking before the National Press Club, the Republican presidential candidate again criticized President Barack Obama for approving last week’s drone strikes in Yemen against Anwar al-Awlaki who was tracked and executed based on secret intelligence that linked him to two failed terrorist attacks against the U.S. (...)
“He can now assassinate people without due process–American citizens–and people cheer him. What is going on with this country?” Mr. Paul said.
Mr. Paul, who is currently trailing former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Texas Republican governor Rick Perry in recent polls, announced Wednesday that his campaign had raised $8 million in the third quarter of 2011.
For over 50 years assassinations have been carried out so skillfully as to leave the impression that the victims died from natural causes. Details of some of the techniques used to achieve this were brought to light in 1961 when professional KGB assassin Bogdan Stashinskiy defected to the West and revealed that he had successfully performed two such missions. In 1957 he killed Ukrainian emigré writer Lev Rebet in Munich with a poison vapor gun which left the victim dead of an apparent heart attack. In 1959, the same type of weapon was used on Ukrainian emigré leader Stepan Bandera, although Bandera’s death was never fully accepted as having been from natural causes. *******************************************
Who Else is on WH's Secret Kill List? by Ron Paul Tuesday, October 11, 2011
According to the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, Americans are never to be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Constitution is not some aspirational statement of values, allowing exceptions when convenient, but rather, it is the law of the land. It is the basis of our Republic and our principal bulwark against tyranny.
(...) Al-Awlaki’s father tried desperately to get the administration to at least allow his son to have legal representation to challenge the “kill” order. He was denied. Rather than give him his day in court, the administration, behind closed doors, served as prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. The most worrisome aspect of this is that any new powers this administration accrues will serve as precedents for future administrations. Even those who completely trust this administration must understand that if this usurpation of power and denial of due process is allowed to stand, these powers will remain to be expanded on by the next administration and then the next. Will you trust them? History shows that once a population gives up its rights, they are not easily won back. Beware.
