Draft Notice For The Banks: The proposed financials "bailout" creates a Selective Service for banks and other money interests. Grab a hold of this...
LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL FOR TREASURY AUTHORITY
TO PURCHASE MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS
Section 1...
Sec. 2. Purchases of Mortgage-Related Assets.
(a) ...
(b) Necessary Actions...
(1) ...
(2) ...
(3) designating financial institutions as financial agents of the Government, and they shall perform all such reasonable duties related to this Act as financial agents of the Government as may be required of them;
Dear XYZ Bank,
you are hereby legally drafted to serve at the government's pleasure.The Federal Sovereign Executive Branch rules, not Congress or the Supremes. Do not be so foolish as to misinterpret the word "reasonable". You are duly advised our drafting authority allows no recourse to protest or appeal. Only in that respect is it different from a Military Draft wherein you may request a Court Martial.
BTW, can someone explain the difference between a military draft and slavery?...or involuntary servitude?
the difference between a military draft and slavery?...or involuntary servitude?
It's easy really, we draft, they enslave or involuntary servitude (that's not a real word!!) The first is legal because we are doing it, the other two are not because we're not, unless of course we are doing it for a good reason then it's in the interests of the people isn't it especially if we have managed to whip them up against something like commies, bin laden, saddam.... Heck, there's not much of a difference really is there?
