The entire United States is now a war zone: S.1867 passes the Senate with massive support

This is one of the most tragic events I have written about since establishing End the Lie over eight months ago: the horrendous bill that would turn all of America into a battlefield and subject American citizens to indefinite military detention without charge or trial has passed the Senate.

To make matters even worse, only seven of our so-called representatives voted against the bill, proving once and for all (if anyone had any doubt remaining) that our government does not work for us in any way, shape, or form.

S.1867, or the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the fiscal year of 2012, passed with a resounding 93-7 vote.

That’s right, 93 of our Senators voted to literally eviscerate what little rights were still protected after the PATRIOT Act was hastily pushed in the wake of the tragic events of September 11^th, 2001.

The NDAA cuts Pentagon spending by $43 billion from last year’s budget, a number so insignificant when compared to the $662 billion still (officially) allocated, it is almost laughable.

The bill also contained an amendment which enacts strict new sanctions on Iran’s Central Bank and any entities that do business with it, a move which will likely have brutal repercussions for the Iranian people – just like the sanctions on Iraq did.

Notice that the majority of the Senate are Republicans, war mongers I guess. I know some Democraps also voted for this, but don't worry, it will be vetoed by Obama if it gets that far.

We are now officially a police state. We are now the Germany of this century. I am totally ashamed of our Congress, our military leaders (and any servicemen/women that will obey an order to go 'against' and kill/capture American citizens), the Zionist-Christians in this nation and all neo-cons as well.

Needless to say the lame-screen media is a total facade and is shameless in their failure to report what is really happening. Thank goodness for the alternate media, this site and Mike Rivero @ www.whatreallyhappened.com.

For the cowards at the FBI, NSA and CIA who may be reading this....remember, your children, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews are going to pay the price for this treachery you are enforcing as well. Damn you all to hell!!!!!
