Guantanamees to Crawford TX by Eminent Domain. Ranch to be Available.

 An Act Implementing Exit Strategy for Guantanamo Inmates:

Eminent Domain and Facility at Crawford TX

WHEREAS, former President George W. Bush stated his desire and intention to close Guantanamo, and for its inmates to be tried in the United States, see BBC news report (among others) at://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5102528.stm/ and video of statement shown by Anderson Cooper CNN last week;

WHEREAS, this exit strategy has been approved and is being implemented by President Barack Obama;

O, Give Me a Home. Prickers.*

.

WHEREAS, issues remain as to where to hold the gentlemen in question until they die or are tried, whichever first occurs; and the State of Texas is ideal for such, being known for its patriotism and firm hand.  It is also remote and reporters would never want to visit out there.

WHEREAS, Texas has just revised its eminent domain law, whereby government may acquire property for public use, see ://law.justia.com/texas/codes/pr/004.00.000021.00.html/ and it fits. It fits!

See summary of Texas reform at Senate Bill 18, at Press Release Newswire, ://www.prwebdirect.com/releases/2009/5/prweb2389304.htm/

Who's having fits?

THEREFORE.

1.  The State of Texas shall exercise its rights of eminent domain immediately to acquire the property formerly used as the Texas White House at Crawford TX for use as a containment facility and detention center for prisoners now housed at Guantamo, Cuba,  See Texas Passes Eminent Domain Reform Bill, May 4, 2009, at ://www.prwebdirect.com/releases/2009/5/prweb2389304.htm/.

• Authority:  It is implicit in prior presidential ownership of land for White House purposes, as proven by construction and then sale dates, that a reversion continues sub deedo whereby later White Houses can order the land back into White House Purpose Use.  This is like Stop-Loss, applied to real estate needs.
  

2.  This acquisition shall be expedited and all other governmental matters placed in line behind until completion and full implementation.  Acquisition by December 15; renovations and construction by January 15; prisoners arrive January 22, 2009.
.

Moving the birdbath. "They" will do what they will do anyway. Ah, legacies.

3.  If the schedule falls behind, applications are being taken for B&B temporary accommodations, or private homes in Dallas.

-----------------------------------

* Sicily, actually.  Would they take some?  The Legislative Committee notes lamely that if the original Orderers built in exit strategies for the Big Plans now awry, this provision for an additional Texas facility at the Old Bush Ranch would not be necessary.  File this remedy under A for Accountability.

Debatus Interruptus. Khalid's Law. Role Modelers on the Right - Model for Guantanamees

  The Need for Khalid's Law

Khalid Sheik Mohammed or (ABC)

See FN 1

Khalid's Law

SUMMARY OF INTENT OF LEGISLATION.   

Any detainee from Guantanamo shall be entitled to use all speech avenues at trial as exploited by disrupters of Town Halls and any Tea Baggers who disrupted speech rights of others in the Summer of 2009.  The free speech to which one group in a democracy feels entitled, regardless of rights of others, shall be thereafter be available to all affected by that democracy's policies, including shouts of "liar" at the highest authorities around, and use of odd suntans supposedly to increase credibility, and the First Users shall be disqualified from negative comment or reaction or steps to stop.

WHEREAS:  The Summer of 2009 was characterized by a viral spread of Political Behavior Disorder, see FN 1.  Citizens, otherwise balanced, perhaps, perfected the new Art of Disrupting Proceedings (herein the new ADR; or The New Alternative Dispute Resolution, by tsunami).

WHEREAS:  Disruption brings on more disruption as people watch the role models and catch the viral Spirit, yea, even unto shouting epithets in Congress.

WHEREAS:  It is now odd that Disruptors who themselves encourage disruption for their own ends, now warn of the dangers of Disruption, when done by others.  Can the new ADR advocates contain themselves, or others now.

WHEREAS:  It is necessary for a functioning democracy to promote civil discourse, Roberts Rules of Order (Not the CJ Roberts here, whose Rules are yet unfolding, but business is taking up the waiting room so we have to come back later), see ://www.robertsrules.org/; and free implementation of the Federal Rules of  Civil Procedure, see ://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/; and various Court Procedures.

WHEREAS: We should be eternally grateful for the role modeling of the New ADR, because it enables some advance preparation.  Eternal considerations are appropriate. The very name "Khalid" means eternal, see Joy of Equivocating, Arab Culture Naming, Khalil Sheik Mohammed,  thus that Defendant is as justifed as any speech-blocking Tea Partier and Town Hall Disrupter seeking everlasting control of others, to use any means including the new ADR.

THEREFORE

It is enacted:

1.  Designation of Persons of Hindered Standing.

A person shall have Hindered Standing to protest how Khalid Sheik Mohammed (a/k/a Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or Khalid Shaikh Muhammad), or any fellow imprisonee conducts himself at, before or after his trial, if such person

a) approved
b) participated in; promoted; tuned in with admiration; or, on airtime or in pulp
c) reported more opinions than fact, about the positional ground of Tea Parties or Town Hall Disruptions,

at which the shouter insisted on his or her rights to speech while denying same to others.

• Khalid and any other Guantanamee shall be permitted to wave placards of guns pointing to the heads of his opponents, drip blood from Jokery posters, interrupt and accuse, avoid fact-based analysis and enjoy the socializing, shout out then fast sit down and bask in the admiration of those agreeing with him, etc. 
  

• Remedies and comment by Town Hall or Tea Partier Interruptors about anything Khalid Sheik Mohammed, his fellows or his counsel team may do in these and other ways shall be limited to hindered standing as set forth herein.
  

2. Hindered standing defined.

Persons seeking to protest any ADR by Khalil Sheik (Shaikh) (Sheikh) Mohammed or any others brought to trial and using any tactic used by Tea Parties or Town Hall Disrupters, may only do so with tight time, place, and manner restrictions, designed to ensure the free flow of ideas, and balance their 2009 excesses with a time of rest.

• Disruptors first must witness quietly any activities by persons being tried.  They shall sit there, impassive, listening, watching. 

• They then shall have 10 minutes of air time to be filmed on a single standard tourist bus at 3AM on Saturday morning, at which time all air shall go mute, forcing the partiers to use exaggerated lip movements so we can read their lips and body language if we feel like it.

3.  And this because (drum roll) the behavior modeled in the Summer of 2009 is now being emulated by others, and You Asked For It (free download and video here).  Art Baker. Also immortal, eternal. Take it away!

Policy Background:  Closing Guatanamo and trying its prisoners in the United States is in accord with the policy of the former President George W. Bush. See BBC news report (among others) at://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/5102528.stm/

Then locate the videotape of former President Bush making the statement itself.   The video of the statement by former President Bush was shown on video on Anderson Cooper's show on CNN Thursday or Wednesday of this week, say 11/12/09 or 11/13/09 perhaps.

Modeling. Modeling produces imitation, perhaps an unintended consequence of the Town Hall Disruptors.


Fear of some:  That Guantanamees may disrupt the proceedings because of what we did to them there, or their own philosophies; or invite retribution (some on the left have already done that).

What if the Guantanamees use publicity and air time and exposure to tout their causes and even criticize those who imposed upon them unspeakable restrictions and pain. See ://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/14/view-pending-trial-attempt-prosecute-bush-administration/.  That is what has already happened in the Summer of 2009 as to others disrupting.

Why the surprise, the fear?

Boot of Benedict Arnold, Saratoga

The Cobbler Arises. Nothing is new. But see shoe now on other foot. As with Benedict Arnold, a lesson is that our own acts can exacerbate the predilections of folks, even toward turning against us: how we treat them matters.  See ://www.notablebiographies.com/An-Ba/Arnold-Benedict.html; America Road Ways, Battle of Saratoga.

Is this so:  Those who have the disease of Political Behavior Disorder pose more threat to our collective democracy's procedural well-being than H1N1.

Purpose of Khalid's Law Legislation.  We seek to contain The Viral Summer of 2009 in the Summer of 2009; and not let it out.

Conscience v. Constituency. Mandatory Financial and Fact-Source Disclosures to Check Bona Fides of "Conscience"

 CONSCIENCE VS. CONSTITUENTS

A Statute to Check the Bona Fides of Politico Declarations of Conscience, as justification for voting counter to their Constituency; and to Require (no escape Mandatory) Financial and Fact-Source Disclosures to see their financial stake.

Vetting The Blankie Defense


With Illustrations Parts I and II herein

WHEREAS:  Elected officials at the federal and state levels often declare a blanket don't touch me justification for a vote or position, as a matter of "conscience" (herein, the Blankie Defense, or Hiding Behind the Mantra); and so justify disregarding majority views among their constituents; and

WHEREAS:  Elected officials also receive, simultaneously, before or after such Blankie Defense is declared, substantial funds from lobby groups seeking to influence in their favor, or buy, the vote of the elected official; knowing that "conscience" cannot be touched, once declared, or so they hope; and

WHEREAS:  Constituents in the proper exercise of voting rights must be able assess the bona fides of the Blankie Defense of conscience by their elected officials. Is the declaration

a) truly conscience; or

b) self-serving as in the nature of

• pragmatic pocketbookism; or 
• outright, underhanded, overreaching opportunism; or
• re-election motivated party-switching manipulation ego greed; or 
• misassessment of fact; in which case, if egregious and reasonably intended to mislead others, the official's bona fides are conclusively established as non.

Lost. Swan Song, Part I. Joe-ke? See illustration Part II below.

THEREFORE:

1.  Declaration, Transparency. Elected officials must declare their position 21 days prior to a vote on major legislation, or declare that The Mind Is Open; and update that declaration regularly.

2.  Running Counter to Constituency.  If such position runs counter to the majority constituent view in their jurisdiction (see process for such determination below) for reasons of conscience (that conscience mantra again) or other ground, the elected official shall be deemed to be, obviously, Running Counter, and shall be subject to these disclosure requirements so the conscience or other ground can be vetted:

a.  Disclosure of financial or other benefits from individuals or entities interested in the outcome, and identify such.

• This benefits disclosure shall include what he or she has received or from which he or she has or can enjoy as to funds, perks, airtime, payments for his or her benefit, travel, by any lobby or industry individual or group with an interest in the outcome of the vote;  

•  The disclosure requirement shall extend for a time period not less than the past 7 years, such time period to satisfy many religious requirements; the alternative being 40 and that is too much; and shall also include any benefits or funds to be received during the next 7 years, if not already handily in pocket or otherwise enjoyed.
  

b.  Disclosure of factual bases for fact-based positions.

• the supporting factual information on which he or she relies in drawing his or her conclusions,
  

• the source of the information including who paid for it, 

3.   Measure of majority view; trigger for debate.  

 The majority view of the constituency shall be measured objectively, by such neutral polling as produces unskewed results by the nature and techniques of the questioning itself.  The polling for majority view, or for the fact-based debate, shall be triggered by a petition signed by no less than 10 constituents; this low threshhold designed to ensure that elected officials shall disclose voluntarily in advance of such petition, knowing it is coming anyway.

4.  Forum; Roberts Rules of Order Debate; or other Debating Rules Used in the Usual Course of Debating.

The elected official Running Counter shall then engage in a debate with constituent representatives in a civilized forum as to the facts.  Civilized shall be defined as following Roberts Rules of Order.

The forum shall be nationally televised, and the disclosure shall be nationally publicized and documented, as to any federal elected official, and statewide as to any state elected official. FN 1

FN 1  The Legislative Anti-Shenanigans Committee would like to thank Joe, for providing the impetus for this important Vetting Bona Fides legislation.  Joe? Where are you?  Joe? We have an award for you. (looking in all parties' regardless caucus rooms, with giant powder puff bequeathed from Uncle Miltie)


Heard offstage, a procession drawing nearer, participants singing like Aida:  
Ach, du Lieber Lieberman, Lieberman, Lieberman.
Ach du Lieber Lieberman, Nein leben bist  du. *


 Here? There? (looking in back alleys where deals are made) And Everywhere?

Joe, where are you? Say not so. Anything To Everybody? (at the tailor - one size can be made to fit anybody, just watch the snip and cut)  What? The water fits any glass? Regardless?  Joe?  Is that right?  Were you elected so Joe can look after Joe?  Who is Joe? Will you - this is the big one - debate your fact sources and conclusions, instead of re-churning yourself on airtime?  Time to disclose, Joe. No free passes for mere mantras or repeating somebody's talking points.

A good Joe vets, discloses and discusses. Thank you, Joe. Joe?

Found. Swan Song, Part II. Joe-ke

Oh.  There you are. Unh-hunh.

*  Ach du lieber, Augustin is an Austrian folk song that originated during the Plague years 1768-69, acording to DisAustria at ://www.wargame.ch/wc/nwc/newsletter/19th_edition/Newsletter19/DisAustria.html/.

The story: Augustin, excessively in his cups, dropped on the spot, was picked up by the body wagon passing by, tossed among the corpses, and then awoke, to his surprise at his surroundings, and his carriers, at his resurrection.  Thereafter, apparently, uses of wine and spirits to counter infection became even more popular. See The translation at that site: O, my dear friend Augustin, everything's gone....  Ours, a little different.  How to counter infections, viral spreads. Still with us.

Ach, du lieber Lieberman, Lieberman.
Ach, du lieber Lieberman,
Alles ist hin.
The Public; Con-stit-u-ents; 
Trod un-der foot a-gain.
Ach, du lieber Lieberman,
Alles ist hin.

See Everything's Gone, at ://sedulia.blogs.com/sedulias_translations/2005/05/ach_du_lieber_a.html/. 

Perhaps sing, not groupishly like a campfire, but slow, sad, like a little dirge-like round, 'round the rotunda .... perhaps in a deep minor key, A Minor, for Ach, beginning on the dominant 5th,  E1 -- Hmmmmmmm:   E/ F- E-D-C/ A-A/ ; B-E-E/ C-A-A; a little higher? G/ A-flat -G-F-E-flat -C-C/ D-G-G/ E-flat C-C...  something like that. Did we mess that up? Would each audience, each gallery, people in every hallway entryway escape hatch, everywhere, sing to Joe until the Town Hallers Cry Nuncle.

A dirge-like round, 'round the Rotunda, Washington, DC

Perhaps just a low, slow hum, then, as a round from section to section. Barely audible....M-m/-m/m-m/ m m-m/m-m-m/m-m-m/ m-m/m-m .....

Videos worked for "pro-choice" Abby Johnson, to change her mind to "pro-life", see ://www.abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/planned-parenthood-clinic-director-joins-anti-abortion-group/story?id=8999720/


Now, use the technique for animal killing.

If all life is precious, treat all life as precious. 
---- Mother Nature

Comparative Life? Anybody's. Pay attention to its course and uses and abuses, or not. Slow down or just run over? What balance?

Whereas,

• Humans desire, and enjoy the power, to terminate all kinds of life forms; and to restrict the full exercise of others' life interests to further a particular human's ends; and so tend exercise that power to benefit the human regardless of any "rights" of the weak; and
• Humans manipulate theology to justify applying higher standards to preservation of human life forms than to other life forms, and to preserving their own tribe at the expense of others that also feel pain and panic; regardless, so numbing their own sensitivities to needs of others
• Any numbing of sensitivity to any life form affects sensitivity to human issues as well; yet red meat and chickens and their eggs taste so good; and
  
• Sanctity of human life, as opposed to to other forms, rests on tenuous, self-serving human doctrinal bases. See, e.g., Where get sanctity for human life, from mere "image". Question self-serving sanctity ideas.
  

WHEREFORE, It is enacted that all butchers and shopping entities shall provide and enforce the following as to the subjects of their offerings, before the consumer can purchase for ingestion any animal product; and/or passing judgment on those others making zygotic or foetal determination decisions within their own bodies:

1.  Any individual seeking to purchase for ingestion an animal product shall, prior to such purchase and ingestion, personally view the following:

1.1.  A 10 minute video as to the manner of acquisition of the product from the animal, prepared by a neutral, fact-oriented, day-in-the-life-of producer (a/k/a day in the life) as to the life of the animal from whom the product is taken or extraced; and including the method by which the animal was produced (i.e.basters);  this includes egg production, milking, use of permanently pregnant horses for hormones, etc.;

1.2.  An additional  10 minute video as to the manner of fattening, chemicalizing, moving of "downers" (animals that cannot self-locomote to their ends), and full process of slaughtering, until life is or is not removed;

1.3.  An additional 10 minute video as to the sanitariness, degree of inspection, what meat by products are recycled into the slush machines, all that;
 
1.4.  A one-hour counseling session by a vegetarian as to the benefits of consuming non-animal products; including nutrition comparisons, effect on environment, and where more products resulting from "humane" (minimal pain and stress) rather than profit-oriented methods may be attained.

2. Then, any individual who supports, in another legislative context, that others who seek to terminate people-zygotes or other pre-birth foeti that are not capable of breath at the time of decision, shall be compelled to view comparable human videos, ultrasounds, or learn about alternatives as though the person had not the capability to do such on her own prior,

• Such individuals shall be required to view the fully born animal-consumption videos twice before eating any meal involving an animal product, and before attaining standing to pass judgment on issues related to termination of zygote or in-utero life forms by others.  
  

3. The intent of this legislation is to promote consistency in thought patterns, and promote decent beginnings, middles and ends of all forms of life, so that all who seek to benefit from the death of any other shall do so with all respect and humane treatment feasible under the circumstances.

Disclosure of Financial Stake held by News controllers as to Broadcast, Cable or Journalism Reports

 Healthcare Reform Legislation Report Disclosure of Financial Stake

Disambiguation as to Bias

All news broadcasts or cable presentations and journalistic reports of news shall disclose at the outset of such program the total financial holdings of the owners or other controllers individually, or companies in which they hold a stake, as to the industries as to which legislative reform is the subject of the news report.

 Accordingly, in any report of progress, hold-ups, opposition, support, or other reference to health provision or healthcare insurance or providor reform shall state unequivocally the total dollar amount of the stake in which the owners or other controllers of content have as to the health industry:  insurers, laboratories, pharmaceutical industries,  and others who stand to benefit or lose by reform.

The purpose of this legislation shall be to stem the tide of viewers and listeners who have simply given up getting decent unbiased news, and turn off, tune out, the TV and other news sources in disgust.

In addition, no such report on the status of the discussion shall include any slanted verbiage such as "tries to" or "attempts to" or labels as to the groups who support or do not support the legislation under discussion, absent full disclosure of the dollar value of investments the news controllers have as to the presentation.

Such value shall be set as of Saturday at 6 PM for the week pending.  The values of the investments totalled in the controllers of content shall be revised each Saturday at 6 PM.
