Didn't I tell you this all along? Obama ( and the Pentagon) are subservient to NATO and the UN in international affairs! Congress is being bypassed. So, even if Americans are our friends... Rome is not.

Coup D’état: Pentagon & Obama Declare Congress Ceremonial

Congressman Jones introduces bill that would subject Panetta & Obama to impeachment

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s testimony asserting that the United Nations and NATO have supreme authority over the actions of the United States military, words which effectively declare Congress a ceremonial relic, have prompted Congressman Walter Jones to introduce a resolution that re-affirms such behavior as an “impeachable high crime and misdemeanor” under the Constitution.

During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday, Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey brazenly admitted that their authority comes not from the U.S. Constitution, but that the United States is subservient to and takes its marching orders from the United Nations and NATO, international bodies over which the American people have no democratic influence.

Panetta was asked by Senator Jeff Sessions, “We spend our time worrying about the U.N., the Arab League, NATO and too little time, in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the United States. As you go forward, will you consult with the United States Congress?”
The Defense Secretary responded “You know, our goal would be to seek international permission. And we would come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress.”
Despite Sessions’ repeated efforts to get Panetta to acknowledge that the United States Congress is supreme to the likes of NATO and the UN, Panetta exalted the power of international bodies over the US legislative branch.
“I’m really baffled by the idea that somehow an international assembly provides a legal basis for the United States military to be deployed in combat,” Sessions said. “I don’t believe it’s close to being correct. They provide no legal authority. The only legal authority that’s required to deploy the United States military is of the Congress and the president and the law and the Constitution.”
In an effort to re-affirm the fact that “the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution,” Republican Congressman Walter Jones has introduced a resolution ^[1]in the House of Representatives.

Actually, if I recall, when it comes to foreign policy Congress is quite helpless anyway, while the president has sweeping powers...And here for once 'Sorcha Faal' and myself seem to agree:
" the Church’s plan to reassert itself as the main controlling power of the Western world.  The “grave danger” to having the Catholic Church control both the United States and the European Union,"...


 

...the current turmoil in the Roman Catholic Church is “unprecedented” in modern times and has been further described by Robert Mickens, the 20-year Vatican correspondent for the British Catholic weekly journal The Tablet, as “It's now complete war inside the Vatican, things are falling apart.”
The forces engaged in this “war,”...., constitutes nothing less than a coup against the current Pope who tomorrow will preside over the ceremony known as a consistory when will admit more prelates into the College of Cardinals who will elect the next leader of the Church.
Over the past two months, in a scandal coined by the Italian press as “Vatileaks,” competing factions within the Church vying for power have launched attacks against each other by releasing highly secret documents detailing corruption and financial crimes at the highest levels, with no clear indication of who is winning.
An editorial yesterday in the L’Osservatore Romano, the “semi-official” newspaper of the Holy See, said the leakers of these documents were warned that the Pope is a man who “is not stopped by wolves,” but with his health said to be in serious decline how much power he is actually asserting, the FSB says, is really not known.
To the Vatican hierarchy assassinating their current Pope it is most certainly not unheard of with the most recent victim being Pope John Paul I (1912-1978) who during the night of 28 to 29 September 1978 was said to have been poisoned after his taking office barely the month before over fears he was about to unmask the Church’s darkest secrets.
Important to note is that in our 21 October 2009 report Vatican Sends “Shockwave” Around World As NASA Scientist Warns Israel “End Is Near” the warning was issued that the former Hitler Youth member, and current Head of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI had ordered the Vatican to create a “church within a church” in order to destroy the last remaining obstacle to the planned fascist takeover of the European Continent, The Church of England, which had broken Rome’s hold over the British people 450 years ago during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Equally important to note, and as we had noted in our 18 January 2012 report Kissinger vows to China: “Jeb Bush Will Be Next President”, the “master plan” to install as the next US President the Catholic convert heir-apparent of the Bush-Clinton dynasty John Ellis “Jeb” Bush [photo with Pope Benedict XVI 3^rd left] was boosted this past week when Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union and top Republican official, said he could be put forth as a “possible nominee” in what is called a brokered convention.
The importance of having Jeb Bush as the next American President, this FSB report says, would be his joining with his fellow Catholic convert Tony Blair, who as the former Prime Minister of Britain, and head of The Church of England, and rumored to be the next President of the European Union, “paved the way” for the Church’s plan to reassert itself as the main controlling power of the Western world. 
The “grave danger” to having the Catholic Church control both the United States and the European Union, this report continues, is its plan for a “One World Government” Pope Benedict XVI called for this past October (2011) and as we can, in part, read:
“In the same spirit of Pacem in Terris, Benedict XVI himself expressed the need to create a world political authority. This seems obvious if we consider the fact that the agenda of questions to be dealt with globally is becoming ever longer.
Think, for example, of peace and security; disarmament and arms control; promotion and protection of fundamental human rights; management of the economy and development policies; management of the migratory flows and food security, and protection of the environment.
In all these areas, the growing interdependence between States and regions of the world becomes more and more obvious as well as the need for answers that are not just sectorial and isolated, but systematic and integrated, rich in solidarity and subsidiarity and geared to the universal common good.”
As Russia braces for a showdown with the West over an expected US-Israeli-EU attack upon Iran that General Nikolai Makarov, head of the Russian General Staff, warns is “not far off,” the Kremlin further warned the US and NATO it would use nuclear weapons once war starts adding an additional warning to Obama that if he placed American warships in northern waters, or the Black Sea, Russian forces would respond.
To Prime Minister Putin’s protecting the Motherland from the “insanity” of the West, not to mention the wars they have begun against all who oppose their tyrannical communistic rule, and the coming onslaught from the Catholic Church-led “crusade” by the US and EU against all of Islam, he was praised today by Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, who stated that Putin's 12-year rule in Russia was a “miracle of God.”
Russia's top Rabbi, Berel Lazar, further thanked Putin “for everything you have done for the Jews,” and said of the protesters trumpeted by the Western propaganda media against Russia, “the fact the [demonstrations] took place on Saturday suggest that it was not a Jewish event.”
