NDAA: Hypocrisy, Arrogance or Treason? (Video)
Post vie IshmaelBe.Com
“And now, as the Drums of War are being beaten against Iran, I urge you to be cautious, those of you who are seeing this, because first…. the old adage goes… they came for the Muslims and no one said anything, then they came for the Occupy Protestors and no one said a thing, then they came for the Unemployed and the Under Employed Protestors, and no one said a thing… so I encourage you now to heed the WARNINGS and accept this responsibility and opportunity to once again protect and secure what we have as a Nation, as a People”
“Our Constitutional rights are being chipped away at, whether it is the Patriot Act, or the most recent act of betrayal, the National Defense Authorization Act.
Military Personnel and others throughout the security & defense system of the United States of America has taken an oath, to protect, to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. The Act of the President AND the Congress, who oversaw the implementation, the passing and signing of this Act into law… are they betraying our Constitution? Are they to be considered as domestic enemies?”

Congress Passes Bill | Obama Signs NDAA | Really America?
The truth is, it doesn’t matter who we elect next. America is too deep in the hole. Decades of corruption, economic mismanagement, exploitation of poorer countries… psh, I mean our Nation’s success was built on the backs of slaves and only possible because of the mass systematic genocide of Native Americans. Are you really surprised that our CONGRESS and then our President passed a law stripping more civil liberties from American citizens? It is going to have to get a lot worse here in America before it gets any better. That, my friends, is what we call Natural Consequences.
No doubt, the articles you will be reading about this bill, will make Obama out to be the evil mind behind this and that you should vote for Ron Paul or WHO EVER… but the truth is… both Republicans AND Democrats in Congress passed this Bill in order for it to be brought to Obama. So who is really to blame? ALL OF THEM. (Except those who voted “NAY”)
It may be a response to the protests across the country that we saw in 2011. Maybe, by giving this power to the military to INDEFINITELY DETAIN those considered enemies of the State, the American government is displaying its FEAR of the American people and our capabilities.
That is all I have to say about the NDAA for now. Time will tell how this will influence how we live, what we do and how we speak. I encourage EVERYBODY to sit down and research this bill and come to your own conclusion based on the facts, not on the opinion of these journalists who probably have their own agenda or work for media outlets that have their own agenda. Keep your mind open.
