National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012
Obama Announces he can imprison anyone he chooses…IF he chooses to do so

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 on in the statement: "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.
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
Statement by the President on H.R. 1540:Proof Obama Will Sign NDAA 1031 Citizen Indefinite Detention Law in a Few Days and that the removal of protection for US citizens and legal residents was DEMANDED by the White House:
