Senate votes to make US a military state
The military was just given permission to arrest and detain American citizens on US soil and hold them indefinitely, without charge. There are about a thousand things wrong with that previous sentence.
I know I post alot of petitions and things, but please, if you have a facebook or an email address, sign this petition to tell Obama to veto this bill.
Basically the first thing they’re going to do is round up all the Occupy protestors and put them in one big, federal pen, but I wouldn’t count on it stopping there. Our country’s in bad enough shape as it is without arresting more innocent people. Spread the word and, please, sign the petition. Make your voice heard.
Holy shit.
well, don’t worry white people, it won’t be you getting detained and arrested
SMMFH.
Time to go.
WHAT. THE. FUCK. Why don’t I just go to Cuba? At least I’ll get healthcare. Bye!
I normally expect a lot of my followers to know this stuff already - but signal boost because this is one of the scariest things my government has done in a long time.
From this article:
the National Defense Authorization Act (PDF), which contains a number of astonishingly alarming provisions — Sections 1031 and 1032, designed to make mandatory the indefinite military detention of terror suspects until the end of hostilities in a “war on terror” that seems to have no end (if they are identified as a member of al-Qaeda or an alleged affiliate, or have planned or carried out an attack on the United States), ending a long and entirely appropriate tradition of trying terror suspects in federal court for their alleged crimes, and Sections 1033 and 1034, which seek to prevent the closure of Guantánamo by imposing onerous restrictions on the release of prisoners, and banning the use of funds to purchase an alternative prison anywhere else.
dawg.
What the FUCK?
How is it that we just keep accepting this shit? Why isn’t there more outrage?!
FUCK THIS BILL: Everyone deserves a trial: Foreign or Domestic. Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
