Between bailing out Wall Street banks, protecting the world’s largest counterfeiting scheme, the FED and protecting Israel, how does Congress find any time for ‘We the People?’

National Defense Authorization Act instructs U.S. to take ‘all necessary steps’ to help Israel defend its vital national interests, among them preventing a nuclear Iran.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defense authorization bill that would make it U.S. policy to take “all necessary steps” to ensure Israel is able to “remove existential threats,” among them nuclear facilities in Iran.
“It is the policy of the United States to take all necessary steps to ensure that Israel possesses and maintains an independent capability to remove existential threats to its security and defend its vital national interests,” said the amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act passed Friday.
The amendment, initiated by Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) and first reported by Americans for Peace Now weekly legislative roundup, would require the president to report every 90 days on how the policy is being implemented.
That report would identify “all aerial refueling platforms, bunker-buster munitions, and other capabilities and maintenance by Israel of a robust independent capability to remove existential security threats, including nuclear and ballistic missile facilities in Iran, and defend its vital national interests.”
The language must survive the reconciliation process with the Senate and then be signed by the president in order to become law.
The amendment is similar to a non-binding resolution passed in April in the Senate that urged the president to provide “diplomatic, military, and economic support” to Israel should it be “compelled” to strike Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons program.
The House version of the defense authorization act already included a number of Israel-related measures, including tripling Obama’s request for missile defense cooperation funding from $96 million to $284 million.
The whole act passed Friday 315-108 and Roskam’s amendment passed by voice vote.
Why doesn’t congress just cut through all the BS and pass a law saying “Israel now rules America”, and then take another nice, long vacation?
useless bastards
Actually we are the useless bastards. People protest, write blogs, talk but you all fund what you hate because of fear and sloth.
If your support comes from stealing peoples energy (by conning them there is no other way to live but by using the money you create for every one of their interactions and they not only fall for it but defend it and refuse to even think beyond using your money) what attitude will you take of such people? Goyim perhaps? If a people need to be led they will be led by the most dangerous psychopaths because of that ignored axiom that power corrupts. The only answer is the acceptance and use of systems that do not concentrate power but you all know how anarchy is thought of. Once people take personal responsibility for themselves power concentrations will dissolve but you all know the attitude you take at the thought of living without insurance. Personal responsibility is far too much for children. Personal responsibility is the mark of men. How many do you know that live uninsured and behave like they are responsible for themselves and those around them?
We The People are NOT a factor in Washington anymore. These people think that our labor and our lives belong to them. What are we going to do about it? So far, not much. Things will only get more outrageous.
Israel has roughly 400 nukes in it’s arsenal. Using ONE of these weapons in the region would set in motion circumstances which would put all Israeli people at risk. Based on the language of this bill, Israel poses an “existential threat” to itself that greatly overshadows any threat that Iran may pose; thus, I think this bill would finally give the US the green light to take “all necessary steps” toward removing the current leadership in Israel. We would in effect out-deceive the deceivers!
They don’t have time for WE THE PEOPLE! We’ve been thrown like pieces of meat to the dogs.

The Attorneys General that issued an arrest warrant for Holder…..could it be that maybe its time “official” BOUNTIES were issue for Congress and the Senate. Seems as the Public’s option of Grievance and Redress are fruitless. The solution and verdict it seems now lies at the State(s) Level. This is not sedition speak….to do otherwise now with all factored evidence of Governmental level Treason would be the sedition.
not saying………just sayin…
PS…dayum sure glad im not a politician
If anyone else did what he did or any of the other higher uppers in the govt. has done there would be a bounty on our heads. There aught to be a reward/bounty on their heads like holder so we the people can grab those like Holder and demand that they arrest and convict the criminal.
does this mean they will be removing themselves ? ghandi said the best thing they could do was to commit collective suicide.
Nuke Israel.
No more existential threats to Israel.
No more existential threats to the rest of the planet.
Problem solved.

I’m sorry but how does Israel (another country) have ANYTHING to do with Congress and WE THE PEOPLE??? Congress nor any other branch of government has ANY authority to dictate what another country can or cannot do!! Hence, why they are called COUNTRIES!!! Different people, different laws and different government. National sovereignty, people! Why are we making laws for another country and not our own. HOW TREASONOUS CAN YOU GET, PEOPLE!!! WAKE THE F**K UP!!! We do not have a government any more! We are nothing but dictators trying to rule the world. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WE THE PEOPLE DON’T APPOROVE OF THIS SHIT!! HANG ALL THE TRAITORS AND FOREIGN INSURGENTS IN THIS COUNTRY!!!
