This petition is aimed at the United Nations, the International Court of Justice and the United States Supreme Court to BLOW the WHISTLE on the United States Government, particularly Congress and the Obama Administration as well as President Barack Obama himself over practices that threaten both American and foreign lives and property.


The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (H.R.1540, S.1867) allows indefinite detention of Americans and foreigners without trial or due process. Another law, the Enemy Expatriation Act, will allow Americans and foreigners to be stripped of their U.S. citizenship without any proof of wrongdoing.

Sections 1021, 1022, 1031 and 1032 are the most SAVAGE and BARBARIC parts of the Defense Authorization Act.

(4) WAIVER FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.—The President may waive the requirement of paragraph (1) if the President submits to Congress a certification in writing that such a waiver is in the national security interests of the United States.

Here's the Senate version:

The Enemy Patriation Act (H.R.3166) would coexist with with the Immigration and Nationality Act (U.S. Code Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter 3 (Part 3), Section 1481).

The U.S. Government and the U.S. Military are already using unmanned drones to attack and kill people, including Americans.

Of course, as you imagined, they violate at least seven different Amendments of the United States Constitution:

THE FIRST AMENDMENT: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This means it protects the freedom of religion, speech, and the press, as well as the right to assemble and petition the government.
THE FOURTH AMENDMENT: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." This means it prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets out requirements for search warrants based on probable cause.
THE FIFTH AMENDMENT: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." It sets out rules for indictment by grand jury and eminent domain, protects the right to due process, and prohibits self-incrimination and double jeopardy.
THE SIXTH AMENDMENT: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." This means it protects the right to a fair and speedy public trial by jury, including the rights to be notified of the accusations, to confront the accuser, to obtain witnesses and to retain counsel.
THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." This means it prohibits excessive fines and excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment. This includes indefinite detention without proof of wrongdoing and without due process. We've seen this too much with Guantanamo Bay.
THE NINTH AMENDMENT: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." It asserts the existence of unenumerated rights retained by the people.
THE TENTH AMENDMENT: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This explicitly limits the powers of the federal government to those delegated to it by the Constitution.

They also violate multiple sections of Title 42 of the United States Code and Section 2384 of Title 18 of the United States Code.

Section 2384 of Title 18 of the United States Code reads this:
"If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."
By the way, this particular statute refers to such an act as "seditious conspiracy".

The United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Convention against Corruption and the Geneva Connections are also violated.

We would like to see Congress and the White House investigated because our concern is -- that they're declaring war on their people -- average law-abiding Americans. It's INHUMANE and TREASONOUS and an utter disgrace to Human Rights. WE ARE NOT PART OF THE ANONYMOUS GROUP...WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS...WE ARE NOT AL-QAIDA...WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS...WE ARE AMERICANS...WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS...WE DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS!!!
