The National Defense Authorization Act could put you or me in prison indefinitely without a trial!
Washington - House members defended the National Defense Authorization Act's provision to detain terrorists, including US citizens, indefinitely on American soil without a trial.  The House voted 238 to 182 against an amendment to guarantee a trial for any suspected terrorist arrested in the US.    

Federal judge Katherine Forrest found that the law violates freedom of speech and due process to citizens, or foreigners.  A bipartisan group backed the amendment, which was sponsored by Justin Amash (R-MI) and Adam Smith (D-WA), who argue that the president alone should not have the power to detain anyone indefinitely without a trial, including US citizens, who are only suspected of terrorism, and that the bill gives the president with too much executive power.  They argued that with more than 400 terrorists having been tried and convicted in civilian courts, and while many terrorist plots have been thwarted, the law was unnecessary.  "The president right now has the authority to go outside the normal due process, constitutionally protected rights that are part of a court trial, and lock somebody up indefinitely, or place them in military custody here in the US," Smith said during his debate. 

First, in the event some are not aware of it even yet, Obama has no regard for the Constitution - he can take it or leave it.  Just as he did in getting Obamacare passed by Congress, there is no doubt he "strong-armed" legislators with his administration's "persuasive powers" regarding this amendment. 

I don't know about you, but this bill Obama signed on New Year's Eve last year, deliberately during holiday to detract from his signing the bill, raised my eyebrows; because according to Homeland Security "fusion centers," many of us who are conservative, freedom-loving, Constitution-respecting citizens of the United States are considered potential terrorists!  Many conservatives believe that one way or another, Martial law is around the corner in this country.  One great fear among legislators is the fact that they all know the economy is going to plummet and there is much anxiety over what the US population will do when things get real bad.

This is really the beginning of the end of our American freedoms and those who still don't get it - never will - until it's too late anyway.  The Bible tells us that in the last days a world dictator will rise (the Antichrist) and freedoms, as we know them today, will be gone, "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hands, or in their foreheads, that no man may buy or sell, except he who has the mark, the name of the beast (the Antichrist), or the number of  his name.  Here is wisdom.  Let him who understands count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.  If you haven't received Jesus as your Savior, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website.  God bless you.
