s.1867, The 'National Defense Authorization Act' creates a police state:
The bill was drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any kind of hearing. http://mediamonarchy.blogspot.com/2011/11/senate-bill-to-turn-us-into-battlefield.html
Yes, Americans Will Be Targeted As Terrorists Under the NDAA - Dark Politricks

The U.S. Senate is considering the unthinkable: changing detention laws to imprison people — including Americans living in the United States itself — indefinitely and without charge. The ACLU petition: http://bit.ly/uNaKsM
The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself. http://bit.ly/t7egus
This bill is over 600 pages long, and even according to its sponsors, covers a wide variety of issues. Something as important and unique as criminal justice should not be part of a military authorization bill, but should be the subject of its own bill: http://bit.ly/twwNKA
Is Guantanamo forever?
The Senate contemplates a bipartisan bill to make permanent the failed system of indefinite detention: http://bit.ly/vIseRQ
Secret Bill To Be Voted On Today Would Allow The Military To Sweep Up US Citizens At Home Or Abroad: http://read.bi/vnp2sc
The language contained in sections 1031, 1032, and 1033 operates to create a dangerous framework certain to curtail civil liberties and hamstring effective policing. As written, these sections establish indefinite detention, military custody, and a “national security waiver” prohibiting certain transfers from Guantánamo Bay: http://bit.ly/vk7fcW
There's a problem: Within this year's NDAA bill are problematic new provisions that could allow the U.S. military to capture and indefinitely detain American citizens, even here on U.S. soil. Senator Udall's petition: http://bit.ly/uTLYhz
As the Occupy protests grow with each passing day, the threat to the 1% is growing as well. It is no wonder that our government, who is a decades long supporter of the police state as both a profit center and business model, has tried to slip this legislation through. http://bit.ly/vL3uSL
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 is mind-bogglingly unconstitutional, especially Sections Sections 1031 and 1032. It's unconscionable. http://bit.ly/t3ythO
Recent efforts to militarize our justice system and reimpose the use of torture during interrogation are ill advised. They can only further erode the safety of American citizens. In addition, this plan rejects the best advice of U.S. military and intelligence professionals. http://bit.ly/uxrlvu
This bill gives the president the authority to indefinitely imprison American citizens without a court hearing, both domestically and abroad. Senate Bill 1867 is bringing the battlefield to the homeland. Alex Jones, radio host of The Alex Jones Show, tells us what this could mean for America's future. http://bit.ly/tdPxyq
The NDAA is so expansive in scope & dangerous in nature that it makes the PATRIOT Act look like the Bill of Rights. http://bit.ly/rsrNpc
According to Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham, the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield.” http://bit.ly/vVcYWB
"I'm very, very, concerned about having U.S. citizens sent to Guantanamo Bay for indefinite detention," said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), one of the Senate's most conservative members. http://huff.to/tItjaQ
Nothing on it in the major media. C-SPAN carried it live today.
They voted against the Udall Amendment today.
They will be voting on the bill tomorrow. Search for it on C-SPAN if you'd like to watch it live.
The U.S. Senate is moving to enact a law that would allow military troops to march on U.S. soil and arrest American citizens with no due process, no trial, no legal representation and no protection under the Bill of Rights. Americans could be thrown in secret military prisons, interrogated, tortured and held indefinitely without ever being charged with a crime.
It's all part of the new "National Defense Authorization Act" (S.1867) which features a section called the "worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial" provision.
