Obama Demanded Protection of Citizens be Removed from NDAA

Obama Announces he Can Imprison Anyone He Chooses… If he Chooses

Today’s column will be short and to the point.  It has finally arrived, folks.  I’d hoped I was wrong about it but, tragically and chillingly I was not.  Obama has just announced–in his own words–that he can detain (imprison) anyone he wants with the new unconstitutional NDAA bill passed by Congress and signed by the now self-proclaimed Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama.  Note:  As usual, the Marxist-media doesn’t care and is, instead, jubilant that Dear Leader Obama has finally done away with that pesky Constitution.

In a statement published 31 December on his White House site, Mr. Obama states:  “Today I have signed into law H.R. 1540, the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.”  He goes in the state:  “I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.”  Note:  Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) advised in the below YouTube video that the White House and Barack Obama demanded the removal of any and all protections for US citizens and legal residents.  So, the collaborative Congress gave him the dictatorial powers he has wanted since he usurped the Office of POTUS.


Carl Levin: “…the administration asked us to remove the language which says that U.S. Citizens
and lawful residents would not be subject to this section…”

The now formal Dictator of the USA Obama also disingenuously stated:   “Section 1021 affirms the executive branch’s authority to detain persons covered by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note). This section breaks no new ground [yes, it does] and is unnecessary. The authority it describes was included in the 2001 AUMF, as recognized by the Supreme Court and confirmed through lower court decisions since then.”

“Two critical limitations in section 1021 confirm that it solely codifies established authorities. First, under section 1021(d), the bill does not “limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.” Second, under section 1021(e), the bill may not be construed to affect any “existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.”  Note:  But, it does.

“My Administration strongly supported the inclusion of these limitations in order to make clear beyond doubt that the legislation does nothing more than confirm authorities that the Federal courts have recognized as lawful under the 2001 AUMF.”  Note:  No, it did not.  In fact, per Democrat Senator Carl Levin, just the opposite occurred–as Obama demanded protections for US citizens and legal residents be removed before he would sign the bill!   Obama continues with:  “Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens.”  Translation:  “I may choose to be a beneficent dictator, if I wish to do so.”

“Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values [they are not ’traditions and values’ they are US law] as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.”  Note:  This is another abject ObamaLie.  The new revised NDAA bill, which Obama demanded, effectively renders the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights–and the US Constitution, itself–null and void.

We have now reached the end of the road as a free country.  As never before, only two choices now remain We-the-People:  “If we refuse to rise up and fight, we’ll be forced to lie down and die.”

“And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable”–Isaiah 3:5

  1. Is’nt that nice of the fuehrer, he will not detain any Americans because it goes against “traditions and values”? The authoress was right, it is against the CONSTITUTION!!! While many Americans are beginning to realize the peril our country is in, there are still far too few who understand just how bad this is. We the people have been sold out, lock, stock, and barrel, imagine if McCain, aka Quisling, had won, the only difference between him and Obama is skin color, they are both want to be fuehrers!! At last count there are only seven (7) Senators that voted against this monstrosity, keep that in mind when we vote in November, if indeed there is an election.

  2. The Intolerable Acts ACTION CENTER is a joint effort of the Patriot Coalition and Oath Keepers legal teams to address the unconstitutional provisions in the 2012 NDAA (and other intolerable acts signed into law since 9/11/2001). http://theintolerableacts.org has NDAA resolutions for a growing number of state legislatures, county commissions, and sheriffs. More to follow.
