National Defense Authorization Act passes and gives President power to detain U.S. Citizens

The National Defense Authorization Act, the bill that could have preppers in the cross hairs, has now passed the House of Representatives with the vote count coming in at, 283-136.
The last glimmer of hope also seems to have faded as The Obama administration announced today that the President will no longer veto the bill. The National Defense Authorization Act will give the President Obama and all future Presidents the authority to hold U.S. Citizens, who are suspected of terrorist activities, indefinitely without a trial.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters that last minute changes to the act would “not challenge the president’s ability to collect intelligence, incapacitate dangerous terrorists and protect the American people,” and “the president’s senior advisers will not recommend a veto.”
Well that seems like a good explanation of why he withdrew is Veto threat right?
Wrong! The changes do nothing to protect American Citizens; instead the changes do everything to ensure the President will now have supreme authority over who is detained.
Yes some of the original language has been modified, but if you dig deeper into the new language it seems the only thing that’s really changed is who has the ultimate power. The new language adds a waiver that will make it possible for President Obama and future presidents to detain, without due process anyone who is considered a threat to National Security.
And as we pointed out in our first article on The National Defense Authorization Act, the government seems to have some very disturbing views on who they consider to be a possible threat. In the article, we posted a number of videos from prominent U.S. Senators who warned that the government considers preppers to be a potential terrorist threat.
When you consider who they view as being a possible enemy, this bills passage is very troubling and should be a huge cause for concern.
Here is one of the videos from the original article:
Well if they think this will stop us from prepping I think they have made a huge mistake. Lately I have slacked off but after seeing this in the news it has renewed my efforts to prepare.
If they want to put me on a list for having more than 7 days of food so be it. They have only confirmed why we need to prep. These people are out of control
This is simply crazy. It violates a very key principle upon which our country was founded!
He could look like the “good guy” in the eyes of the public by using his veto, even though Congress can override it. That would go toward good will in his reelection campaign (not that he will get reelected).
The 7 days of food they’ll be looking for will have to be “camping” food. Just about any family in America will have a 7 day supply on hand, if not 14. I’m sure they’ll also look at legitimate gun owners, too. Camping food and guns will make us targets.
I have an app on my phone that was developed as a result of Occupy. It’s called “I’m Getting Arrested”. It has a default message and phone number. I’ve changed my message to NDAA. My recipient knows what it means. Just in case.
I thought Rand Paul got that part of the bill taken out. Was I mistaken?
We need Ronald Regan back to say hell no enough is enough
Jason, it looks like a waiver was added that now transfers the power directly to the President and future Presidents, which is why Obama gladly withdrew his veto threat.
Well said folks!! Try and remember its all theater, you know,
good cop bad cop!!!
In late 1932, the German “congress” gave “Chancellor” Hitler full authority. In short order he had several of his political enemies killed and many many more rounded up and sent to the first concentration camp, Dachau. It primarily housed the opposing political party the Communists, not the Jews. At this point, Democracy was DEAD.
Am I the only one that sees an uncomfortable parallel here?
Matt next will come the guns be taken away.
Which senators voted for this?
Just in time now that the Gov. , Law Enforc. , and other dept’s are ramping up their ability to use drones here in the U.S. Not that they have’nt already but since they seem to be having a 90% fail rate overseas on legitimate terrorist they might as well use them here to spy on their own people. Are we making progress or just losing every constitutional right we have left ??????????????
people, this is a decloration of war against the American people. it is now a time to stand up for your rights and freedoms. the worse thing your little minds can imagine will be taking place on American soil to the American people from a government that hasnt represented the people in 100 years. so now is the time to make a stand before its your loved ones you see taken or murdered before your eyes. in our governments eyes i am a terrorist for speaking against our dictatorship government. if you talk in any way about them taking your children and killing them or any words or actions will then make you a terrorist also. take my words and yourown and pass them along to the world. let them know we are free men and women of America
JH this act of treason from our government just dismantled our contitution completely. every part of the constitution can and does now fall under terrorism.
in a last ditch effort for peace every American should stand with OCCUPY. OCCUPY is about everything wrong with our government and a corrupt system
I ACCUSE EVERY AMERICAN THAT READS THIS IS A TERRORIST TO AMERICA. that being said that is grounds for your government to take each and everyone of you without trial, without facing accusers or proof. you no longer have rights or liberty, there is no more justice. it is now a DICTATORSHIP. so wake the fuck up
looks like Civil WAR. watch the video on what was given up without “we the people” having a say in it. they WILL start to systematicly take people to there consentration camps. they will execute and kill the American people . so stand now or sit and watch your loved ones taken and murdered before your eyes

alot of the Occupy are business owners and vets. but the main stream media doesnt talk about that. mainstream media doesnt talk about the thousands of things Occupy stands for. its not about one thing or even 100 things. its about righting a system all across the board. having accountability for our government and those that line there pockets. its about opening the banking books so it is the same as any other business. with accountability and paying the same tax as any other, with equality and fairness for all. its about our freedom our contitution and bill of rights (SB 1867 wants to take all this away and give complete power and discretion over us to corrupt government, read to the end of what SB 1867 is) its about everything wrong. “we the people have petitioned and tried many other forms to get things made fair and right. now we stand at a point where our forefathers stood before us when it was America’s independance from England. i say unto you all” research everything and do not be the ignorant” know that these occupy stand for each and every one of the American people. it does not stand for corruption and injustice. so before you mock those fighting for you and a better system. a system that is within our CONSTITUTON/BILL OF RIGHTS/DECLORATION OF INDEPENDENCE. google all these things and do not be IGNORANT AND BLIND. the Occupy is a growing force in an attempt to not have a Civil War to right things that are wrong. we have now and throughout history fought for freedom. ours and the world. when you mock Occupy you mock every person fighting and all who have died fighting for freedom. so if you feel everything is perfect and life is just and its heaven for you then thats great, but if the system is not. then its time to make a stand. soon they will take our rights and freedoms completely and our right to bare arms . but we will fight with sticks and stones rather then stand and watch our wifes, mothers, daughters, brothers and sons die or be taken away to the consentration camps our caring government already has built here in the USA for the American people. so as our forefathers before us so must we stand and fight or die for ours and our childrens future
so how hard would it be for this chip to hold something like the CIA’s famous heart attack poison or worse. so anyone that stands up for themselves is not a problem.with chip and mayhaps its toxins you will get your pay checks, free medical, be able to buy your food and what ever you have credit to buy. they will be able to track you any place in the world. so no waiting at airports. without it you dont get payed cant buy anything and have freedom. i vote no slavery and to abolish any chip and anything that takes away freedom, independance and our liberties.
i do hope that the moderators approve the links i have posted. they show a government that is treasonious to the American people and they are facts written in history
they voted. we did not. they have taken away our contitution,our rights ,liberty,equality. that gives them the right to break down our doors and shoot us and our kids with no repercussions or liability. they want to take our rights to stand up to corrupt government for fear of prison or death thanks to patriot act and now obama, they want to put a chip in All Americans instead of money. these chips will have tracking ,and with our government it will contain the poison our own CIA uses to make it look like a heart attack.. this is part of there healthcare plan for after 2012, we will need chip for food,payment for work, medical and anything and everything we could or would ever need. if we dont say ok to the chip we fend for ourselves. anyone entering into office gives oath to America, the constitution and what they stand for..they are in office to represent us” We The People” and not line there pockets. right now at this moment we are now a socialist country not a democratic republic. and any person holding office should uphold his sworn Duty or face charges of treason, not impeachment.. treason..that will send a message to each and every person wanting to represent the voters of each state that we come first…then and only then will our vote count. only then will we reacquire the integrity that our Constitution and those that signed it and those that have died to uphold it will be worth much.. there should never be any lobbyist within a government post. obama has placed many. newt has taken money from right, left and any other that will pay him, he is wishy washing till the highest bid has lines his bank.. well over 1 1/2 million he was payed just before we the people started loosing our homes to the banks..treason..treason.. We need to start over with our Consitution being first and formost with our Bill Of Rights. we need our government to know we stand behind our Declaration Of Independence. we stand against socialism and Tyrrany and that if the banks own then then they will be tried for treason as well for BRIBERY to a state or government official. without bios. our government needs to know that it needs to have a fair tax, not the rich only paying 1% federal tax. the banks being a private non government business should have same laws as you and i and have open books for the IRS. just like any business in the USA. there should be same laws for the people on TV. within sports and within government and there should be accountability for all equal just as the constitution states. we the people have and are loosing the last of our rights , we have schools that dont want parents teaching kids because they have changed the history of so many things to fit there agenda, changed laws to fit there needs. we need change now or it will be Civil War on our soil with not only us , but our children mothers ,fathers neighbors and others being murdered ,raped and all the evils that come with tyrrany and enslavement.
obama and our government are traitors to America and the Constitution. with all presidents they take oath to protect and to defend our constitution. in not doing so it is treason.so stand with occupy and start petitions and anything you are able to do. its time to impeach. our government loves to use fear against the American people, with terrorism, 9/11 and many things over the last 100 years. fear is used to control.its time our government knows fear of repercussions and accountability. they need to know its “We The People” that control those representing the people. its time to impeach and its time to let ALL politicians know that getting payed from banks,corporations or anyone will have treasonious consequences. that to be a politician means you best stand by your words. those words that get them into office. we need to let the world know and our government that the same accountability they hold to us the people, stands and goes for government and corprorations also (the FED that owns our government is a civilian corporation) so please American people stand now for liberty, rights,equality, justice and freedom. things our Constitution used to do. all these are gone now and its time to stand up and fight to get them back and to keep them, fight with words and petitions and the vote. fight as those before have. fight as those that have died have.and may GOD protect us all and keep us from bloodshed and open Civil War.
National Defense Authorization Act — does openly “legalize” the U.S. government’s detainment and murder of OWS protesters and the assassination of talk show hosts, bloggers, journalists and anyone who holds a so-called “anti-government” point of view. This is the open and blatant declaration of war against any who do not going along with TSA thugs reaching down your pants, the Goldman Sachs economic takeover of nations, the secret arrest and torture of American citizens, and other acts of outright tyranny waged by an out-of-control government.
Those who have been burying their heads in the sand over the coming police state need to wake up and face the music. That U.S. Senators would knowingly and willfully attempt to pass a bill that legalizes the indefinite detainment, torture and killing of American citizens with no due process whatsoever — and on American soil! — is nothing less than a traitorous betrayal of the once-free American people. These are, our founding fathers would have said, acts of war against the People. They reveal the insidious plan to put in place a legal framework to end the Bill of Rights, murder protesters, and overrun America with total police state brutality.
I knew I should’nt have bought that family 10pk of mac n cheese at wal mart , with this new law it looks like will have to eat fast food every night so we dont keep any food in the house . bye bye cost co.
people should be posting this site everywhere and letting the world know. its not in the corporate owned main stream media. and people need to know we could and most likely will face what the world faced with HITLER. but in America on American soil
History does repeat itself. Read in any book that discusses the Civil War, what was done by the President at the beginning of the conflict: the suspension of habeas corpus for the duration of the war. Even Supreme Court was unable to change that fact. Post Script: During that conflict, not only was habeas corpus suspended, but a newspaper was closed and an orator arrested (and sentenced to Ft Lafayette by a military tribunal) because of remarks said against the government.
ok so we are all terroist, let,s act like what they say we are. but then how many people are willing to give up their comfortable lives and homes to really fight for our country? it will not be pretty or easy.the gov.,courts,and lawmakers have all of the power and protection and there are not very many americans who have the balls to stand up to them,their rule of fear is already to deeply seated in to many peoples minds.if you don,t beleive that just note how nervous you get when a cop pulls in behind you on the road.now picture a fed.task force knocking on your door.hell we are even afraid of the i.r.s. in the 60s one great slogan was “question athority”.ie, what gives you the right to tell me to do or not to do this or that? i really don,t think we can change any thing until americans grow a set and stand up for what they beleive in.
it is time the american people stood up first of all VOTE all who voted for this bill lets fire them. all of them. while we still have that right time to unite in my eyes there is only one man running for president RON PAUL
SI VIS PACEM, PARRABELLUM.
