National Defense Authorization Act

The following is quoted from Franklin

Sanders, the-moneychanger.com:

“I don’t like doing it, but I’m going to tell

you how your government will use the National

Defense Authorization Act, assuming it

becomes law, which now appears virtually

certain. (It became law on Dec. 31, 2011.)

“By secret administrative decision, a deci -

sion the victim will have no knowledge of &

thus no opportunity or right to challenge,

certain targeted persons will be declared

‘terrorists.’

Then they will be rounded up and imprisoned

 forever. Probably even their location will be a

well-hidden bureaucratic secret.

This will be the death of perhaps the

most important right guaranteed by Magna

Carta, habeas corpus, or the right of personal

liberty forbidding government to arrest and

hold any person without showing cause.

It will also seal the coffin on due process of law,

or any process of law.

“And although the sponsors swear to

you that this will never be used against

ordinary people, only against terrorists,

Obama’s signature won’t be dry before the

wiretaps and arrests begin. It may be Tea

Party nuts or Occupy crazies, but they will

be administratively defined as ‘terrorists’

and they will disappear. Vanish. And they

won’t come back.

“Congress is essentially authorizing the

indefinite imprisonment of American citizens,

without charge,” said Senator Dianne Feinstein

(D. Calif). She said, “We are not a nation that

locks up its citizens without charge.” (End
