IF YOU THOUGHT POLICE BRUTALITY WAS BAD … WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT CONGRESS WANTS TO DO NEXT WEEK

The police brutality against peaceful protesters in Berkeley, Davis, Oakland and elsewhere is bad enough.

But next week, Congress will vote on explicitly creating a police state.

The ACLU’s Washington legislative office explains:

The Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. 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.

***

The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world.

***

The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself. The worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial provision is in S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which will be on the Senate floor on Monday.

Well from that little display, it's obvious you ARE a foreign combatant.

I'd still love to meet you in person, even if it will probably get me on some list.

[FreedomPoster]

You’re probably on a list just talking to him here.

Just sayin’.

[Lazamataz]

Or maybe HE is on a list talking to ME.

Ever think of THAT?

"This is wrong no matter how you look at it. "

What part of the last few decades has indicated to you that that comment has any bearing on how our rulers behave?

“The requirement to detain”

This does not mean they cannot elect to. Read the bill carefully.

Did you read the other 632 pages?

It's an appropriations bill. If you try to tell me that you read it I will not believe you.

My favorite post is the one where the poster says essentially - “I know it’s not true, but it could be.”

They are talking about it. They are considering it. It’s on their minds. They are making contingency plans.

Go back to sleep now.

It looks like Alex Jones is correct.
