The bill is already scary enough, this video makes me more afraid. Is it official? It's passed by the Senate, but thought it goes to the President afterwards, but I rarely know how laws are passed. But it's odd, very strange rule to pass especially if it also involves the people who passed it aswell, especially them.

The senate quietly passed the act in a 93-7 vote.

Many say this bill authorizes the US military to detain, torture, and even assassinate American citizens here in the US - no right to trial, no access to a lawyer, the government need only accuse you of being 'anti-government' or connected to terrorism for the NDAA provisions to apply to you.

That could be used against peaceful protesters, bloggers, journalists.

The bill targets for detainmenagainst the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported t, as the bill does not use the broader term "terrorist", but rather it refers to "A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces."

Pres. Obama has the opportunity to veto this.

It does have to go the president. Which Obama said he is going to Veto the bill. Though there is a way around that, checks and balances and all of that fun stuff. Forget how but there is a good chance this will be passed.

Everything right now is a bit scary, all the riots, revolutions. Occupy movement becoming a little more violent. Makes me only think we are being set up to rebel in a violent way so they can detain us for acts of terrorism. In my personal opinion, I try not to be a gook or a conspiracy theorist, but I think it is time for a lot of people to wake up and start realizing that people are being taken advantage of by being a victim of culture. I mean most people will probably think im a freak for even posting this. The way people are now, everything is fine. Hard to trust your neighbor, but you can trust your government.


I could go on for days.

Scary stuff. An oppressive authoritarian government always seemed like a far fetched idea for me, especially in the United States, but now it doesn't seem so crazy. Obama wanted change, and I guess he's getting it.
