Obama Tweaks NDAA….. Slightly

The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), the act that allows the US Government to indefinitely detain US citizens without trial, has had a slight change to it.

President Obama has made a small amendment to the piece of legislation.

It is now no longer compulsory for a soldier to detain a citizen whom they believe ‘may be associated with Al Qaeda’. It is now voluntary.

As we say here in New Zealand, “how bizarre”…

Obama: Outlawing The Occupy Movement

A horrifying new bill has passed through congress with 399 votes Yea, and 3 votes Nay.

Once signed by President Barack Obama, HR 347 will empower federal agents to arrest and bring felony criminal charges against citizens engaged in political protests anywhere in the USA where people protected by the secret service are present.

This bill will essentially silence protest at any major political event – in direct contravention of citizens’ First Amendment constitutional rights.

It appears the Obama legislative agenda advances in complete defiance of the US Constitution. One by one, the democratic rights that America claims to want to institute in countries subject to US military intervention, are being systematically stripped away from its own people, while the whole world watches.

It seems that it is not necessarily the regime in Tehran that Benjamin Netanyahu (President of Israel) is attempting to destabilize – with every new war the US enters, their resources are further depleted and their status as world #1 takes another blow. A fact that more cunning nations will inevitably seek to capitalize on. Could it be that Netanyahu is deliberately enticing the spilling of American and Iranian blood for Israel’s own devices? You decide.
