National Defense Authorization Act: Tyranny vs. Liberty
You are an enemy combatant with no rights
Speaking of fascism, the United States is inching closer towards fascism as the result of President Obama signing the National Defense Authorization Act into law on Saturday December 31, 2011. On New Year's Eve President Obama signed a law granting himself absolute power to indefinitely detain American citizens suspected by him of being belligerents. He claims he won't use it. Am I supposed to believe that? Even if President Obama never uses that power to indefinitely detain American citizens suspected by him of being belligerents, what would prevent the next president from using that power? What's the purpose of the president granting himself the power to detain citizens being suspected of belligerency or whatever the case might be? What is the definition of belligerent? Could it be pastors who wilfully refuse to perform "gay" marriage ceremonies in their churches because of their Biblical convictions against sodomy? Would that qualify as a belligerent? How about the Christian doctor who refuses to perform abortions because of his religious convictions? Would he be classified as a belligerent? Would those who oppose Islam be classified as belligerents? What is the government's definition of a belligerent? That could be subject to change from time to time. The definition will be arbitary according to the whims of the chief executive in the White House. It's very scary when the government grants itself that kind of power to control people. This is what it's all about. This is just a step closer to tyranny.
The signing of this law will void the writ of habeus corpus, which is a a civil right fundamental to Anglo-American common law history that predates the Magna Carta of 1215. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel can also be revoked at the will of the president. The endowment by Congress of such a power to the president will make void the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which is a law forbidding the use of the military in domestic law enforcement.
I've heard about this on the news for the last few weeks, but I've never taken time to mention this on the blog and now I'm doing so. On Friday, I'll have an Alex Jones special from January 2, 2012 posted and he'll explain the meaning behind the president's signing this bill. This bill gives power to the executive branch which is unconstitutional. If a dicator ever wins the presidency, he'll possess powers that are far reaching and unconstitutional. Under this provision, a citizen could be detained indefinitely and never have a trial. That's totally contrary to the U.S. Constitution and the American system of law.
