Obama signs the National Defense Authorization Act / What it means

I've talked in my earlier blogs about how the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will further strip away our civil liberties as American citizens, and I'm going to repeat them again here.

The NDAA effectively is a worldwide declaration of the world as a battlefield (with the guise that the bill is war against terrorists), a worldwide declaration of war (probably from the corporate interests that have hijacked our government), and it allows - despite what President Obama says on the teleprompter - the torture, secret arrest, it indefinite detention forever of US citizens. That's all on record, and you don't have to take my word for it. The ACLU recently wrote an article on the NDAA, click here to read it.

What I want to focus on is our leader, Obama, and what he said after signing the bill. Here is what he said:

"My administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens," Obama said in the signing statement. "Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation."

To put it bluntly, Obama and his speechwriters are full of crap. Whether you agree with the killings or not, the Obama administration recently killed two US citizens without any trial. These killings were illegal according to the Constitution. The NDAA now gives the government the green light to kill US citizens in the future without trial. The fact that US citizens can be killed without a trial violates the due process clause of the Constitution.

In this same statement, Obama uses the words "important traditions and values as a nation". Has he or his speech-writers ever read the Constitution? Obviously not, because with the passage of the NDAA, what Obama is violating are not traditions or values: Obama is violating the Constitution which is the rule of law! He is violating many sections of the Constitution by passing the NDAA bill.
