Sharing as an image to circumvent text-based censorship filters, spread this everywhere NOW. TWO NIGHTS AGO the US Senate quietly passed the National Defense Authorization in a stunning 93-7 vote. Prior to this, Senate leaders had urged to limit debate and move right to a vote. THIS BILL for the first time in American history authorizes the US military to detain, torture, and even assassinate American citizens on US soil - no right to a trial, no access to a lawyer, the government need only ACCUSE you of being anti-government terrorism for the NDAA provisions to apply to you. This could be used against peaceful protesters, bloggers, journalists. CONCERNED CITIZENS ARE EMAILING AND TWEETING PRES. OBAMA, begging him to veto this atrocious act -- even if he does, it will STILL BECOME LAW as the Senate has an overwhelming majority (veto override). It is expected to pass the House as well. FINALLY: a media blackout is occurring. Of the three major cable networks, only one mentioned this at all last night --and they didn't fully put it into context. There is also likely widespread Internet censorship occurring - - friends of mine in Europe told me they are having trouble accessing certain US discussion sites at all since news of the National Defense Authorization first broke. My connection to Twitter fails about 60% of the time when I search for #NDAA or National Defense Authorization Act, yet other searches (lady gaga, taco bell, etc) execute perfectly. Stay safe, spread this fast, and don't let our republic turn into a fascist police state without at least some vocal opposition! Let them know we are watching.
