THE POWER ELITE PLANS TO REINSTATE THE DRAFT!
I've received this email four times now just this week (and it's only Wednesday!). THIS IS NOT AN URBAN LEGEND AND IT IS NOT PARANOIA! This Bill was introduced into the House of Representatives on February 14, 2006, by Charles Rangel (D-NY)--quietly, and with absolutely no publicity from the controlled mainstream media. It is on Thomas (see link below). If this gets through Congress it institutes a military dictatorship in this country directly under the Executive Branch: George W. Bush (remember how Dubya once said, prior to the probably-stolen 2000 election "In a dictatorship this would be so much easier--just so long as I'm the dictator.")
The obvious purpose here: create legions of cannon fodder to fight the projected Neocon wars in Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and possibly elsewhere (Venezuela?), because the New World Order needs their oil supplies; and institute Martial Law against defenseless Americans.
More evidence that as far as the government and the power-elites are concerned, We the People not only do not own our own lives and the fruits of our labors, We The People are nothing more than cattle to them! WAKE UP, PEOPLE! AMERICA IS BECOMING A DICTATORSHIP BEFORE OUR VERY EYES! IF THIS PASSES, IT WILL AFFECT YOU IF YOU ARE 18 and UNDER 42!!! (What happens to your kids? They'll be well taken care of by the Omnipotent State, of that you can be sure!)
We need to sit down and write letters, send faxes, make phone calls to Congress now, urging them NOT to pursue this. The alternative is to find another country to live in, once this one finishes going down the tubes.
From my Grants Pass, Ore. contact:
OK Folks:
This is a "heads-up alert" that all of us need to nip in the bud!!! These Neocon pro-Zionist idiots in Washington have got to hear from all of us, that we do NOT want to get involved in anymore wars in the mid-East. The Strategy of the New World Order cabal is to get all of our military forces out of America, in anticipation of the implementation of Martial Law, using foreign Communist controlled UN/NATO troops here in America. They know, that Americans will not fire on their fellow Americans, when it comes time to confiscate all firearms. Please do everything that you can to stop them.
God bless you Charles Vaught for bringing this to our attention.

Draft Bill on Deck to Draft men and women 18-42!! Draft Bill on Deck to Draft men and women 18-42!!
From: Dstacey
Are you beginning to get the picture? Are you one who thought that our elected Congressmen and Senators worked for us? That they acted in our best interests? Well, if you haven't yet seen the light, here is another example of what is really the case.
A war in Iraq was foisted upon us utilizing deception and cunning. Although it has been reported that about 2,300 of our young people have died serving their country there, the real figures are much larger. In addition, our leaders have utilized uranium weaponry by the tons and tons over there. So many (most?) of our troops have been poisoned by the radioactive dust released when these weapons are utilized. They are doomed to a slow and painful death as a result.
Now our young men and women are about to be forced to go to Iraq and elsewhere by this draft bill. Don't let it happen! Get the word out! They are attempting to sneak this in when we aren't looking.
Send this to everyone you know and ask them to send it on to their contacts. Let's reveal this sneaky effort to send our children and grandchildren to their deaths. And for what? To keep the cash flowing into the war machine. Halliburton, Raytheon, Carlyle Associates, etc. They expand their riches and our kids die!

"About the draft bill. It has not been passed yet, but it has been 'snuck in'. It is just beyond me, it is so seemingly incredulous.
I think it is meant to be a way to force a national ID on most. If everyone under 42 is in the military, they'll have DNA, fingerprints, everything on their military ID. How much more Federal ID can you get?"
