SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!

Although Obama has stated recently that he would veto the NDAA bill, it looks as though he will be signing it into law now.

This bill will allow for the indefinite detention with out a trial, of anyone (including Americans) who are considered as a terrorist threat to the U.S.

There have been many news outlets that have either been silent on this issue, or have downplayed the severe implications of the bill by stating that the bill does not apply to American citizens, however, it is clear by the statement of Sen. Lindsey Graham, that the law will apply to Americans as well:
“It is not unfair to make an American citizen account for the fact that they decided to help Al Qaeda to kill us all and hold them as long as it takes to find intelligence about what may be coming next, ....  And when they say, ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them, ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer.’”

Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee stated that the language preventing Americans from being indefinitely detained was removed from the bill:
“The language which precluded the application of Section 1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally approved…and the administration asked us to remove the language which says that U.S. citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section,”
“It was the administration that asked us to remove the very language which we had in the bill which passed the committee…we removed it at the request of the administration,” ......“It was the administration which asked us to remove the very language the absence of which is now objected to.”

We know that in the aftermath of 9/11, the Bush administration passed the Patriot Act, in order to justify and codify into law, wiretapping and other acts that had been going on even during the Clinton administration. The Military Commisions Act was also passed in order to slowly create the environment for a complete takeover and the implementation of Martial Law. Now we have this bill, which Obama has every intention of signing, in my opinion. Don't believe he will? Well watch the video below from 2009:



Here is the portion of the bill discussed above:

(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS – The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.


Although it appears to exclude American citizens in this portion of the bill, I have shown that this appears to in fact extend to Americans as well.


This is what an article from Washington's Blog had to say:



The bill is confusing. As Wired noted on December 1st:
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 ACLU notes:
Don’t be confused by anyone claiming that the indefinite detention legislation does not apply to American citizens. It does. There is an exemption for American citizens from the mandatory detention requirement (section 1032 of the bill), but no exemption for American citizens from the authorization to use the military to indefinitely detain people without charge or trial (section 1031 of the bill). So, the result is that, under the bill, the military has the power to indefinitely imprison American citizens, but it does not have to use its power unless ordered to do so.
But you don’t have to believe us. Instead, read what one of the bill’s sponsors, Sen. Lindsey Graham said about it on the Senate floor: “1031, the statement of authority to detain, does apply to American citizens and it designates the world as the battlefield, including the homeland.”

It seems that all the preparations for a coming economic collapse are being set. The U.S. military has been preparing contingency plans in case of any coming national emergencies. We have threats of war coming from Russia, China, and even our own nation!

With the growing unrest here in the United States, these measures by Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and other agencies to target Americans as "homegrown terrorists", are being done to protect the criminals running the Banks, Wall Street, and the Federal Reserve against those who want to bring them to justice for all the illegal acts of terror they have brought upon the American taxpayer!



Here are some examples of the propaganda being put out through video games, and the media to brainwash the public masses:
Video Game depicting Americans as terrorists




Let's look at some of the other steps being taken here in the U.S. to prepare for a possible economic collapse and social chaos coming:

There are many other steps being taken as well, but this will be enough to get you started.....


It is time to prepare for a rough road ahead. It seems they are also hell bent on setting Gingrich up to run against Barack Obama in 2012, so that Gingrich can throw the game, keeping King Obama in for an end run on the Sovereignty of the United States once and for all!
