Extremely IMPORTANT..PASS IT ON...


This so important that I am sending this to everyone I can think of

The provision of the Trading with the Enemies Act of 1917, as modified on March 9, 1933 (search Congressional Record, March 9, 1933, Emergency Banking Act, Trading with the Enemies Act), to include American citizens as enemies is now about to be more fully implemented.  (BTW, this is the “secret” provision that Obama used to justify the murder of an American citizen)   With this new proposed law, I suppose that they have to fill those camps that Haliburton built to justify their $435M cost.  The camp, just southwest of Fairbanks, Alaska, by itself, can hold 2M people; and, during the winter, I bet you can turn over the population every 2 weeks or so.  That’s better than what the Nazi’s accomplished.  There are approximately 800 camps throughout the United States, fully staffed but currently sitting empty, Alaska being the largest.  These were established under Rex-84, Operation Cable Splicer and Operation Garden Plot, by executive orders of the Reagan administration (Google for more information).  
Do nothing and this is what you are facing for you and your family. 

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial


NDAA detention provision would turn America into a “battlefield”
Saturday, November 26, 2011


The Senate is set to vote on a bill next week that would define the whole of the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.
“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,” writes Chris Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.
Under the ‘worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial’ provision of S.1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which is set to be up for a vote on the Senate floor Monday, the legislation will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who supports the bill.
The bill was drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any kind of hearing. The language appears in sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA bill.
“I would also point out that these provisions raise serious questions as to who we are as a society and what our Constitution seeks to protect,” Colorado Senator Mark Udall said in a speech last week. One section of these provisions, section 1031, would be interpreted as allowing the military to capture and indefinitely detain American citizens on U.S. soil. Section 1031 essentially repeals the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by authorizing the U.S. military to perform law enforcement functions on American soil. That alone should alarm my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, but there are other problems with these provisions that must be resolved.”
This means Americans could be declared domestic terrorists and thrown in a military brig with no recourse whatsoever. Given that the Department of Homeland Security has characterized behavior such as buying gold, owning guns, using a watch or binoculars, donating to charity, using the telephone or email to find information, using cash, and all manner of mundane behaviors as potential indicators of domestic terrorism, such a provision would be wide open to abuse.
“American citizens and people picked up on American or Canadian or British streets being sent to military prisons indefinitely without even being charged with a crime. Really? Does anyone think this is a good idea? And why now?” asks Anders.
The ACLU is urging citizens to call their Senator and demand that the Udall Amendment be added to the bill, a change that would at least act as a check to prevent Americans being snatched off the streets without some form of Congressional oversight.
Under the National Defense Authorization Act bill, no declaration of martial law is necessary since Americans would now be subject to the same treatment as suspected insurgents in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
If you thought that the executive assassination of American citizens abroad was bad enough, now similar powers will be extended to the “homeland,” in other words, your town, your community, your back yard.
