New Bill Passed in Congress
Dear brothers and sisters. Now is the time to open your eyes!
In a stunning move that has civil libertarians stuttering with disbelief, the U.S. Senate has just passed a bill that effectively ends the Bill of Rights in America.
The National Defense Authorization Act is being called the most traitorous act ever witnessed in the Senate, and the language of the bill is cleverly designed to make you think it doesn't apply to Americans, but toward the end of the bill, it essentially says it can apply to Americans "if we want it to.
Bill Summary & Status, 112th Congress (2011 -- 2012) | S.1867 | Latest Title: National Defense Authorization Act for.
This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a "battleground" upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity.
Even WIRED magazine was outraged at this bill, reporting:
Senate Wants the Military to Lock You Up Without Trial
...the detention mandate to use indefinite military detention in terrorism cases isn't limited to foreigners. It's confusing, because two different sections of the bill seem to contradict each other, but in the judgment of the University of Texas' Robert Chesney — a nonpartisan authority on military detention — "U.S. citizens are included in the grant of detention authority."
The passage of this law is nothing less than an outright declaration of WAR against the American People by the military-connected power elite. If this is signed into law, it will shred the remaining tenants of the Bill of Rights and unleash upon America a total military dictatorship, complete with secret arrests, secret prisons, unlawful interrogations, indefinite detainment without ever being charged with a crime, the torture of Americans and even the "legitimate assassination" of U.S. citizens right here on American soil!
What's up with that ridiculous voice over?

S&F for you. I live in Eastern Ontario, and I'm verry concerned about this issue myself. Like you said, what ever transpires in the US get into Canada as well. With Harper at the helm, who klnows what he's planning. There is a lot of talk of the North American Union and if this comes to pass that bill will automaticaly be atributed to us as well. I'don;'t want that. I'm sure most Canadians don't what that either. So people of the US, you need to step up to the plate for this one. Empeech Obama. You did it so easily with Clinton for getting head in the oval office. Now you can do it to Obama for taking away your freedom.

Your first statement sums the whole thing up perfectly.
Once more ATS members are suckered in by the paranoid. ATS is overrun by those spreading lies and paranoia yet ATS was designed to stop this from other forms of media?
It's so damn funny
