Draft Rumors
VERITAS NEWS EXCLUSIVE 29 September 2004.
By John Doyel Shamley
It is with the intent and purpose of the Hour Of The Time and the goal
of exposing truth based on supported facts that the forgoing exclusive
is written.
There have been many rumors circulating among the various media outlets
concerning a reinstatement of a mandatory military draft in the United
States. Most of those rumors have been promulgated by fear,
ignorance of the true facts of said legislation and alterior motives
designed to discredit the true patriot movement of this country.
An example of such rumors is:
Subject: the new mandatory draft Date: Tue, 25 May 2004 09:20:30
-0700
Not a good sign...Mandatory drafting for boys and girls (age 18-26)
starting June 15,2005, is something, I believe, everyone should know.
This literally
affects EVERYONE since we all have or know children that will have to
go if
this bill passes. If there are children in your family, READ this. There
is pending legislation in the House and Senate (twin bills: S 89 and
HR 163) which will time the program's initiation so the draft can begin
at early as Spring 2005 -- just after the 2004 presidential election.
The administration is quietly trying to get these bills passed now,
while the public's attention is on the elections, so our action on this
is needed immediately. Details and links follow. Even those voters who
currently support us.(sic) Actions abroad may still object to this move,
knowing their own children or grandchildren will
not have a say about whether to fight. Not that it should make a difference,
but this plan, among! other things, eliminates higher education as a
shelter and includes women in the draft -- Also, crossing into Canada
has already been made very difficult.
Actions, actions, actions: Please send this on to all the parents and
teachers you know, and all the aunts and uncles, grandparents, godparents....
And let your
children know -- it's their future, and they can be a powerful voice
for
change! Please also write to your representatives to ask them why they
aren't telling their constituents about these bills -- and write to
newspapers and other media outlets to ask them why they're not covering
this mportant story.
The draft $28 million has been added to the 2004 selective service system
(sss) budget to prepare for a military draft that could start as early
as June 15, 2005. Selective Service must report to Bush on March 31,
2005 that the system, which has lain dormant for decades, is ready for
activation. Please see website: www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html to
view the sss annual performance plan - fiscal year 2004. The pentagon
has quietly begun a public campaign to fill all 10,350 draft board positions
and 11,070 appeals board slots nationwide.
Though this is an unpopular election year topic, military experts and
influential members of congress are suggesting that if Rumsfeld's prediction
of a "long,
hard slog" in Iraq and Afghanistan [and a permanent state of war
on "terrorism"]
proves accurate, the U.S. may have no choice but to draft.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article5146.htm
www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html Congress brought twin bills, S. 89
and HR 163 forward this year,
http://www.hslda.org/legislation/national/2003/s89/default.asp
entitled the Universal National Service Act of 2003, "to provide
for the common defense by requiring that all young persons [age 18--26]
in the United States, including women, perform a period of military
service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national
defense and homeland security, and for other purposes." These active
bills currently sit in the committee on armed services. Dodging the
draft will be more difficult than those from the Vietnam era. College
and Canada will not be options. In December 2001, Canada and the U.S.
signed a "smart border declaration," which could be used to
keep would-be draft dodgers in. Signed by Canada's minister of foreign
affairs, John Manley, and U.S. Homeland Security director, Tom Ridge,
the declaration involves a 30-point plan which implements, among other
things, a "pre-clearance agreement" of people entering and
departing ea! ch country. Reforms aimed at making the draft more equitable
along gender and class lines also eliminates higher education as a shelter.
Underclassmen would only be able to postpone service until the end of
their current
semester. Seniors would have until the end of the academic year.
The fact that the legislation does exist, known
as Universal National Service Act of 2003, (Introduced in House) as
HR 163 and introduced by Representativeís Mr. RANGEL (for himself,
Mr. MCDERMOTT, Mr. CONYERS, Mr. LEWIS of Georgia, Mr. STARK, and Mr.
ABERCROMBIE) is truth. As well as the fact that accompanying
legislation was introduced to the Senate as S 89 by Senator
Earnest F. Hollings (SC), both pieces being introduced on the 7th of
January 2003, is indisputable. But the various means and
interpretations of this proposed legislation do not justify the way
in which the rumors and misinformation are being spread around the world.
The proposed legislation will die at the end of this congressional session
due to lack of support. The real heart of the matter is
not the draft but the underlying support and reasoning for such legislation. It
was stated by Rep.FORTNEY PETE STARK (Co-Sponsor) of California
in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES on Wednesday, January 8, 2004 that,
"Reinstituting the draft may seem unnecessary to some. But,
it will ensure all Americans share in the cost and sacrifice of war.
Without a universal draft, this burden weighs disproportionately on
the shoulders of the poor, the disadvantaged and minority populations."
It must be pointed out that the biggest complaints of the last military
draft were that it weighed too heavily upon so-called minorities, the
poor and the disadvantaged. Now that we have a voluntary
military enlistment system in this country, proponents of this legislation
state that we need a draft because without it the burden lies, "disproportionately
on the shoulders of the poor, the disadvantaged and minority populations."
This is clearly a racist and fascist comment, which will only increase
the reverse discrimination promoted by ideologists such as those who
support affirmative action. It must be pointed out also that
upon investigation by the author it was revealed by a Congressional
Veterans / Military Affairs Liaison just this morning that the sponsors
and co-sponsors in the House of Representatives were, with the exception
of one, all ìAfrican Americansî. It was also
discovered that the sponsors/co-sponsors, not to any surprise of mine,
all had very dictatorial socialist leanings.
It must also be pointed out that Mr. Stark said,"Mr.
Speaker, I am an original cosponsor of the Rangel/Conyers bill, the
Universal National Service Act of 2003 (HR 163), which would reinstate
a national draft. I would like to explain my support for this legislation.
I ardently oppose war with Iraq. The evidence simply does not exist
to warrant sending our nation's young people to sacrifice their lives
in Iraq. I believe America ought to be an advocate for peace, not imperialism." If
that is the case, then why institute such legislation in the first place,
if not for some alterior motive. Based on research by the
author and the Intelligence Service, it is clear that legislation of
this kind serves only one purpose. That is, to make more
efficient a national registration system of all people in this country
for the ultimate purpose of enslavement and servitude under a socialist
New World Order dictatorship.
It is the hope of the author and the Hour Of The Time that this information
will again help dispel neutralizing misinformation that abounds and
set the record straight.
Below is the compiled information from the Library of Congress concerning
such legislation

SUPPORTING H.R. 163, THE UNIVERSAL NATIONAL SERVICE ACT OF 2003 --
HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK (Extensions of Remarks - January 08, 2003)
[Page: E40] GPO's PDF
---
HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2003
Ý Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I am an original cosponsor of the Rangel/Conyers
bill, the Universal National Service Act of 2003 (H.R. 163 ), which
would reinstate a national draft. I would like to explain my support
for this legislation.
Ý I ardently oppose war with Iraq. The evidence simply does not exist
to warrant sending our nation's young people to sacrifice their lives
in Iraq. I believe America ought to be an advocate for peace, not imperialism.
Ý Yet, war is on the horizon. The President is intent on invading Iraq
whatever the cost. Thanks to the President's brand of hotheaded bully
diplomacy, war with North Korea may also be imminent. The only real
question that remains is whether or not Americans are ready and willing
to bear the cost?
Ý I commend my colleagues Mr. RANGEL and Mr. CONYERS for their wisdom
in authoring this bill. I'm honored to be an original cosponsor.
Ý This bill requires all young Americans--men and women between 18 and
26--to perform a two year period of national service in a military or
civilian capacity as determined by the President. For those who conscientiously
object to war, the bill assures that any military service would not
include combat. Otherwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments,
no chance for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service
for their country, as did our President.
Ý Reinstituting the draft may seem unnecessary to some. But, it will
ensure all Americans share in the cost and sacrifice of war. Without
a universal draft, this burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders
of the poor, the disadvantaged and minority populations.
Ý It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members of this House and
the 100 members of the Senate, only one--only one--has a child in active
military service. Who are we to know the pain of war when we ourselves
will not directly bear the brunt of that action? It won't be us mourning
the loss of a child or loved one. Maybe some of you in this Congress
would think twice about voting for war in Iraq if you knew your child
may be sent to fight in the streets of Baghdad?
Ý If our nation is to go to war, it is only right that all Americans
share in the sacrifice of war. It is time we truly comprehended the
consequences. I urge my colleagues to support a universal draft which
I believe will make votes for war much more real for many of my colleagues.

Tonight's program : Part 4 of the Symbolic Prophesy of the Great Pyramid.
Tonight we will reveal to the audience how in their own words, the mystery
schools, initiates and illuminated ones of the great pyramid had predicted
something for America in 1935 and 1936.
" One date in 1932 had a very definate association with another
date, that of September 16, 1936. According to these two dates and their
indications, it appeared from the symbolism that in America there would
be a great change in the spirit of the presidency and the constitutional
form of government. It was plainly indicated that just prior to 1936
the American nation would adopt a moderate form of dictatorship with
a tendency toward state socialism. The indications were that this modified
form of government would run into the spring of 1937 and past the fateful
day of September 16, 1936. This latter date was indicated by the measurements
which just reached and began to enter the King's Chamber, which, according
to symbolism of the Pyramid, is the "Hall of Judgement and of Ressurection."
"According to these indications it would appear that in September
1936 a great change is to come into the life and spirit of the government
of the United States whereby its former constitutional activities will
be judged and from the judgement will arise a new and better form of
government based upon modifications growing out of the judgement. Other
indications reveal that the people of Israel, as well as the people
of Great Britain and America, shall pass through the Hall of Judgement
and Resurrection just prior to September, 1936, and that on that date,
the 16th at 1:40 a.m., there will be some important act performed that
will be of international importance, but especially affecting the people
of Israel, Great Britain, and the United States."

More items being offered for sale/auction. Please
see our for sale page.
We are at a turning point - we need your support to continue this work.
Several research projects are underway and we are anxious to get these
projects on the air and this website. As most of you are aware the library
in Eagar has been closed since early spring and we have gradually built
our new studio as donations have permitted. Our next is getting the
Eagar studio back up and on the air. We desperately need to get this
studio finished. Most of our guests will be interviewed through this
studio and several upcoming interviews hinge on the completion of this
studio. Please consider becoming a HOTT club
member.
If you cannot afford to do so, please consider
buying something from our shop. We really HATE begging for money
but we are nearing the end of every resource we have. The Hour of the
Time has been heavily funded out of our own pockets for the last year.
We cannot afford to do so any longer.
The Canadian studio is now up and running WITH CALL IN FACILITIES in
part thanks to donations from Canadian listeners to : Hour of the Time,
2446 Bank Street, Suite 444, Ottawa, Ontario, K1V 1A8, Canada. Feel
free to call us with your comments, questions, and messages anytime
at 1-613-733-4324. This phone line is manned at odd hours - you may
catch us in the studio! Please call with research information/guest
suggestions/fund raising ideas or anything else you may have to offer.
We sincerely appreciate any honest support you may offer.
We now need support from AMERICAN listeners who believe in this cause.
America is the last outpost of true freedom on this planet. If we lose
America - the whole world loses true freedom.

production equipment) that we can no longer afford to keep in storage.
If you are interested in any of this equipment please check here :

All proceeds will go to paying off our debts and keeping this website
and our radio show up and running. Check back as we'll be adding items
all weekend.
