| In what can only be considered a tragic irony, the U.S. Senate passed
out of the final conference committee the controversial
National
Defense Authorization Act of 2012, coinciding with the 220th Anniversary
of the ratification of the
Bill of Rights. Section 1031 of the National
Defense Authorization Act otherwise known as the NDAA, provides broad
authority for the federal government to use the military in domestic
operations in order to detain Americans indefinitely and without trial.
Such a move not only whitewashes the natural rights of Americans,
whereby even publicly criticizing the federal government can now rise to
the purposefully vague definition of a "belligerent act", it also sits
in direct violation of "Posse Comitatus" an 1878 law forbidding use of
the military at home and against Americans. Here are Congressman Paul's
remarks on the bill: [ROLL PAUL CLIP]
As Congressman Paul stated,
the bill requires absolutely no supporting evidence to issue the order
of detention, instead leaving it up to the whim of the
Executive Branch
to act as Judge, Jury, and in some cases having already decreed the
power to assassinate Americans earlier in the year, executioner.
The
danger behind allowing any law that includes such arbitrary terms, as
"belligerent act" simply cannot be overstated as the Department of
Homeland Security has already published multiple reports labeling those
who support the Constitution or protest the FEDERAL RESERVE to be
"domestic belligerents" and thus in the eyes of the federal government a
threat to National Security.
