In a stunning move that has civil libertarians stuttering with disbelief, the U.S. Senate has just passed a bill [the National Defense Authorization Act] that effectively ends the Bill of Rights in America [see Sections 1031 and 1032--JAH].He sounds shrill. But maybe there is good reason for it. Read the links.
This bill, passed late [Wednesday] 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.
It's 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."
Even WIRED magazine was outraged at this bill, reporting:
...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 on right here on American soil!
If you have not yet woken up to the reality of the police state we've been warning you about, I hope you realize we are fast running out of time. Once this becomes law, you have no rights whatsoever in America -- no due process, no First Amendment speech rights, no right to remain silent, nothing.

... and even the ACLU is outraged about this potential law:
[Mike points you to this post; I think Senators Demand the Military Lock Up of American Citizens in a “Battlefield” They Define as Being Right Outside Your Window does a better job of summarizing what this is all about--JAH]
Are you getting all this? Do you realize America is about to be overrun by our own military?
Simon Black wrote in last month's Sovereign Man: Confidential:
[I]f you want to know what’s going to happen, pick up any number of books that detail the decline of empire.Are we reading such a script right now in this, our beloved "Land of the Free" and "Home of the Brave"?
I suggest William Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich as it is probably the most well-documented account ever recorded. It becomes painfully obvious throughout the book that Germans and Jews alike should have picked up and left Germany in the late 1920s or early 1930s. The warning signs were all there, and reading the book is like watching characters in a bad horror movie walk right into the killer’s trap.
Perhaps I should restate that. Are we merely going to read such a script? Or will we--will you--do something about it? At least write to your senators and congressperson?
Or will this (see below) be coming soon to a town near you?
