Americans completely stripped of all rights under Section 1031

The Senate last night codified into law the power of the U.S. military to indefinitely detain an American citizen with no charge, no trial and no oversight whatsoever with the passage of S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act.

Indefinite Detention Bill Passes Senate 93 7 Detention%2BCenter%2BGuantanamo%2BBay%2BRemains%2BDespite%2BUeaO8LxgttCl

One amendment that would have specifically blocked the measures from being used against U.S. citizens was voted down and the final bill was passed 93-7.

Another amendment introduced by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein that attempted to bar the provision from being used on American soil, an effort to ensure “the military won’t be roaming our streets looking for suspected terrorists,” also failed, although Feinstein voted in favor of the bill anyway.

Feinstein was able to include a largely symbolic amendment which states that “nothing in the bill changes current law relating to the detention of U.S. citizens and legal aliens,” but this measure is meaningless according to Republican Congressman Justin Amash, a fierce critic of the bill.

“Some have asserted that Sen. Feinstein’s amendment, S Amdt 1456, protects the rights of American citizens and preserves constitutional due process. Unfortunately, it does not. It’s just more cleverly worded nonsense,” Amash wrote on his Facebook page.

  • Indefinite Detention Bill Passes Senate 93 7

Though the White House has threatened to veto the bill, the fact that Obama administration lawyers yesterday reaffirmed their backing for state sponsored assassination of U.S. citizens would suggest otherwise. Not voting for the bill, or in other words upholding the oath to protect the Constitution, has been described over and over again as “political suicide”.

“The bill puts military detention authority on steroids and makes it permanent, American citizens and others are at greater risk of being locked away by the military without charge or trial,” said Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.

As Spencer Ackerman highlights, the bill completely violates the sixth amendment in that it allows American citizens to be locked up indefinitely, including in a foreign detention center, without any burden of proof whatsoever. An American merely has to be declared a terrorist and they can be abducted off the streets and never seen again.

“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,” writes Ackerman.

    Uh oh, you’ve linked to a competing news site. Prepare to be censored.

  2. I suppose most of the posters on this site can now be labeled terrorists. If you know your government has been taken over by criminals and express this truth in public, poof!, gone and never to be seen again. All those criminals have to do is not want the truth expressed.

    All I know is if you come around my house, I am not responsible for whatever boobie traps you may walk through. By the time you pick the glass out of your skin, I’ll be halfway to Chile.

    Why would I go from being an honorably discharged veteran with a secret clearance, to a terrorist overnight because some TREASONOUS officials changed the scribbles on some fucking piece of paper?

    You want to call yourself a terrorist? Go ahead.
    Don’t label me with your fucking demented bullshit.

  3. Unlucky dudes! Well its been entertaining readin your eye opening and abusive comments 🙂 Enjoy those FEMA camps you have conspired about for all these years, maybe the public will finally acknowledge their existence once family members are taken off to them…

    I doubt it. All the government has to do is tell them they are not taking them away as they are taking them away and they will believe them.

  4. The house, the senate, and the executive are full of TREASON this morning.

  5. I told you they already had their minds made up long ago.
    In the last depression we didn’t need martial law and we don’t need it now either.
    Now we must appeal to the military to be on our side which shouldn’t be too hard since the gov. only pays them peanuts.

  6. It’s a prison planet, as the name of the site suggests. We’re all ‘terrorists’. We’re all guilty.

    Some waited for the list of traitors, the list has been readied.

    Prepare for a false flag to happen very soon to ensure they have the momentum to put everyone in the prepared FEMA camps. Looks like it’s truly happening, and sooner than expected.

    Good luck over there.

  7. Do you think the US military is just going to make false charges up about you or any random person ? To what end ? Maybe they are going after the timothy mcvaes in this world who want to blow up a oklahoma hospital ? I agree that this type of law is unprecedented. Desperate measures for desperate times. Stay close to Jesus Christ is what i would recommend. Those who fear this law might have something to hide and that is why they are scared.

    “I agree that this type of law is unprecedented.” You questioning the government? That type of anti government talk could label you as a terrorist! 😛

    Jesus Christ would be one of the first to be hauled off to a FEMA Camp if he was alive today. Think about it !

    Hopeful one you are very naive and clueless. Wake up. Even a law like this will be abused to the extreme once the right people get that authority. Right now there are 1000′s of them licking their chops because if they do not take us down they will go down. Thy only want the clueless sheep who will serve them free,

    Will see how you keep down your profanity when this bill will promote the expantion of TSA to the malls, bug bix stores, supermarkets, and your local streets.

  10. The public perception (and some members I bet) of the US Military is of good people making up the US military for the most part, but what is happening here is all about breaking the oath, these people doing this are not public. So perhaps we are about to find out what happens when people break their oath. I been asking about this for years now. What can be done about someone who raises their hand and swears an oath, then turns right around and breaks it and you catch them? Isn’t that weird, that we raised our hands, but it was never really clarified what the exact procedure for stopping an attack on the US Constitution. In that respect, I was tricked, the oath was not straightforward, or forthcoming. I mean come on there’s a procedure for everything, but no TOOLS to protect the US Constitution.

    The online crowd (what the prestitutes call social media), the nerds, the slashdot crowd, they make little funnies and jokes about this stuff over the years while this whole thing has been in a downward negative spiral, and sadly they also controlled the direction of the conversations over that same period, never taking anything serious, laughing about and wanting even more electronic vote tabulation devices, which is why such things have festered exactly as predicted. They don’t comprehend it isn’t just the machine software, it’s the chain of custody, it’s the transparency, it’s the corporate prestitutes directing and steering and choreographing every candidate, every issue who’s office controls the people. They whine about tl;dr and then ignore the entire concept of electoral college. Or of appointed JUDGES.

    this un-constitutional, fascist legislation comes from a source.
    WHERE IS THAT TREASONOUS SOURCE?
    THERE IS YOUR FUCKING DOMESTIC TERRORIST

  11. The doors to the FEMA Camps just opened. This is the end of a Constitutional USA.

  12. Well if you patriots have not bought a gun yet, you had better. They consider us all threats that come here and comment. I will now sleep with a gun and carry my gun or guns 24 hours a day. The rest of you would be foolish not to.

    Once they start making us disappear it will be the duty of those that are left to make them quietly at first disappear into the dark ground. The more blatant the get. The more we will have to. They will us our justified comments here to pick us up using this bill. They will start with people with no family and not well known people first and move up the ladder toward people like Alex Jones.

    Correction They will use our comments

  13. Who are the 93 who voted in favor of this bill? They are all against the American public it looks like.

  14. The war is on; The aggregate of Establishment working with the Empire Builders needs chaos to accomplish their goals, which we all know, and their goal is WaR, KEEP THE PEOPLE DIVIDED BY MAKING THEM CHOOSE SIDES, which side are you on; manipulation of the slaves!

    Worldwide non-compliance is need NOW more than ever – I do not consent!!

  15. If all the Senators who voted for this brain dead stupidity get voted out of office one of these days, wouldn’t they all then become regular citizens and be subjected to this just like the rest of us? So why vote for this and pass it? Or maybe that never occurred to them. Idiots Assholes.
