Sarah Palin Endorsed Sen. McCain After He Introduced March 4, 2010, S.3081 The Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010.

McCain's legislation if passed will eliminate Constitutional protections allowing U.S. Government and police to arbitrarily pick up Americans on mere suspicion—with no probable cause. Your political opinions and statements made against U.S. Government could be used by Authorities to deem you a “hostile” “Enemy Belligerent” to cause your arrest and indefinite detention.

S.3081 is so broadly written lawful anti-war protesters and Tea Party Groups might be arrested and detained in military custody just for attending demonstrations; Government can charge attending demonstrations "materially supported hostilities.”

Under S.3081, an “individual” need only be suspected by Government of “suspicious activity” or “supporting hostilities” to be dragged off and held indefinitely in Military Custody. Government would have the power to detain and interrogate any individual without probable cause. Government need only allege an individual kept in detention, is an Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent suspected of; having materially or intentionally supported or engaged in hostilities against the United States, its coalition partners or U.S. civilian population. How would one prove to Government they did not purposely do something? “Materially Supporting Hostilities” against the United States could include any person or group that spoke out or demonstrated disapproval against an agency of U.S. Government. It is foreseeable many Americans might go underground to resist government tyranny. Definition for Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent: (Anyone Subject to a Military Commission)

At least under the Patriot Act, law enforcement generally needs probable cause to detain a person indefinitely. Passage of S.3081 will permit government to use “mere suspicion” to curtail an individual’s Constitutional Protections against unlawful arrest, detention and interrogation without benefit of legal counsel and trial. According to S.3081 Government won’t be required to provide detained individuals U.S. Miranda Warnings or even an attorney.

S.3081 if passed will frighten Americans from speaking out. S.3081 is so broadly written, any “individual” who writes on the Internet expressing an opinion against or an entity of U.S. Government, its coalition partners might be detained on the basis he or she is an “unprivileged enemy belligerent” supporting hostilities. The “supporting hostilities” provisions in S.3081 are so broad Government could use “suspicion” to detain U.S. corporate executives on the premise a corporation “supported hostilities” by providing goods or services to a nation engaged in hostilities against the U.S.

How might Americans react should Government use McCain’s bill to take away their loved ones, family members and friends on mere suspicion? It is foreseeable McCain’s bill could drive lawful political activists underground, perhaps creating the domestic terrorists McCain said we needed to be protected from.

McCain’s bill mentions “non-violent acts" supporting hostilities in America including against U.S. government and or emanating from America against a Coalition Partner. Non-violent terrorist acts" are covered in the Patriot Act to prosecute Persons that support “coercion or intimidation to influence a government or to affect a civilian population.” Lawful U.S. activists and individuals under S.3081 would be extremely vulnerable to prosecution if (indefinitely detained only on suspicion) of “intentionally or materially supporting hostilities or an Act of Terrorism”, not probable cause for example: American activists can’t control what other activists might do illegally—they network with domestically and overseas. Under S.3081 law enforcement and the military can too easily use (hearsay or informants) to allege “suspicious activity” to indefinitely detain someone; it is problematic that detained individuals in the U.S. not involved in terrorism or hostile activities, not given Miranda Warnings or allowed legal counsel would be prosecuted for ordinary crimes because of their alleged admissions while in military custody.

Notably, McCain’s S.3081 mandates (merging) Federal, State and Local Police and subsequently the U.S. Military to detain and hold Individuals in the U.S., without probable cause. Interestingly a Rand Report prepared for the Army, recently made public, appears to suggest that U.S. Government develop a Local, State and Federal U.S. "National Police Stabilization Force merging State law enforcement with the Feds. What could happen to State Rights and what Laws and Jurisdiction would be used to prosecute state Citizens arrested by a National Police Stabilization Force? A National Police Force could potentially be sent by the President into any State perhaps without the approval of its governor, against the wishes of its Citizens? To clarify the Rand Corporation report visit:

Historically it is too foreseeable under S.3081 that "erroneous informant information" would be used to detain innocent Individuals. Other countries have used lying informants to imprison; even execute political opposition.

Under S.3081 U.S. Government can use an individual’s phone call and email information to allege without probable cause “suspicious or hostile activity” against U.S. Government, its coalition partners or civilians to indefinitely detain Americans.

FYI: see below the copy of “Hitler’s Discriminatory Decrees” signed February 28, 1933.” Although the Nazi Decrees are written differently than S.3081, the McCain bill could bring America to the same place crushing free speech and personal liberty. Note how the Nazi Government in Section (1) and (4), similar to U.S. S.3081 suspended personal liberty— shutdown Free Speech, intimidated Citizens from speaking out against Government:

See Section 1

“Sections 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124, and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house-searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”

Very similar to McCain’s S. 3081, but using different wording the Nazi Government in Section (4) see below, suspended Constitutional rights, ordered the arrest of Citizens for Any ACT that might incite or provoke disobedience against state authorities. McCain’s S.3081 instead mentions detaining and prosecuting Individuals for “supporting hostilities” against U.S. Government. S.3081 is so broadly written any person or group attending a protest could be arrested without provable cause and detained if government charged a protest “supported hostilities.”

See Section 4

Whoever provokes, or appeals for or incites to the disobedience of the orders given out by the supreme state authorities or the authorities subject to then for the execution of this decree, or the orders given by the Reich Government according to Section 2, is punishable—insofar as the deed, is not covered by the decree with more severe punishment and with imprisonment of not less that one month, or with a fine from 150 up to 15,000 Reichsmarks.
