NDAA: People speak out

On 15 December 2011, Angelenos gathered at Westwood's Federal Building to protest the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) 2012 which contains provisions allowing for indefinite detention of US citizens by the government without a trial.

Both the House and Senate passed the bill week. Officials at the White House state that President Obama intends to sign the bill.

(UPDATE: 12/31/11: President Obama signed the bill today: http://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/president-obama-signs-indefinite-d...

5US137 anything passed in conflict with the constitution is null and void of law. read it , that bill doesnt change anything if we can get the people who are going to enforce that to understand that we will be just fine, but unless these people take it upon themselves to learn this it will be our job to tell them and show them with kindness and make them realize that if they do this to us they are next!!!

All of us lost our faith! Now this is your chance! Ron paul, they are afraid of him! And for what he stands for! he actually submitted a bill, that repeals, the NDAA. And I haven't heard anything about it lately. i was telling all Americans to call their Congress men and women, and tell them, they should help repeal this law, or in elections they will be replaced!

I think that Alex Jone is Right. 9-11 of 2001 was an inside job and these presidents are not voted on by people but are being selected by secret society.

Man This is what me And my godly family members were telling everyone back in 2008 about Obama and what he would do to the country. We got persectued by black people for being agianst Obama in 2008 due to the fact we were black and of Africain descent(our parents are Nigerian). People I used the world of God to Jugde Obama in 2008 and base on his godless beliefs in abortion and homo-sexuality I was against him.

Watch me burn my US passport on my channel.

"A person who decides to give up his U.S. citizenship is not guilty of disloyalty to America; quite the opposite. He could very well be more loyal to American principles than the regime is willing to tolerate. It also does not mean that he is giving up hope for liberty; he may have great hope for liberty, in a different way and in a different place." - Lew Rockwell

Us citizens are getting angry, man. Revolution is just one little push I liked to call: truth. Once its out and enough people realize this, shit is going to hit the fan.

[VigilantDecendant]

Its time we say, ENOUGH!!

Ironically, our most important fights are the fights we rarely choose. In fact, more often than not, these fights choose us. They single us out & confront us. They challenge our beliefs, our resiliency & our commitment 2 liberty. They challenge what we believe & what we're all about. They challenge our strength & willingness to fight back. And they pick a fight. We must stand firm & have fortitude to fight back.

If we stand DIVIDED, we FALL united!

COME TOGETHER.

To the concerned citizen at 2:13- "Vote you out of office"???

Tyrants used to be publicly BEHEADED, it appears pretty clear to me no amount of voting will change the system that has eaten our government.

[MrGreenstar2012]

we the people will take these so-called elites out they should stop what they are doing. The sheeple are finaly waking up! Buy silver and gold get your heads in the right place and we can stop this. It is no longer a republican or a democratic issue, it is the gov. as a whole we have the constitutional right to elliminate them and we should. I will defend this shattered republic with my life. please look up the word "REPUBLIC" and "DEMOCRACY" we are a republic

Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World,..we live in the "Matrix". Dan 2:43, Dan 8:23 forward, Dan 11:40-45, Rev 13, James 5:1-8 are 'in-play'. Soon, when Iran falls (per the second fulfillment of Dan 8), WWIII will likely be triggered; then, Zech 14 and 5 (nuclear holocaust) may be fulfilled (as well as other prophecies in YHWHs Word)...woe, woe, woe to the Earth...

Mr President Obama is a good person held as a detainee by the CIA: the only group capable of a mutiny, in the dark of night December 31st 2011.
