Please spread this video and the below statement far and wide. Americans need to know about this grave threat to our Constitution and our liberty.

Here is what Stewart Rhodes wrote about this bill yesterday. He will have a more detailed write up soon.

NOTE FROM STEWART RHODES:

The Senate is very near to passing Senate Bill 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, which contains provisions that will give clear congressional support and authorization for indefinite military detention and military trial of American citizens. If passed, this will amount to a declaration of war against the American people, authorizing the Obama Administration and all future administrations to treat Americans the same as citizens of occupied Iraq or Afghanistan, subjecting us all to military jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of the international laws of war, rather than our Bill of Rights and our domestic criminal laws, upon the mere say so of Obama or one of his minions.

There is a great deal of confusion about this bill, with some incorrectly interpreting it as not affecting American citizens. There is also confusion about the very dangerous legal precedents that this bill seeks to codify and bolster.

I am writing an in-depth article where I will do my best to clarify both what this bill does, how all three branches of the federal government have worked to impose the international laws of war on the American people, the historical and legal precedents, and just how close we are to losing our Bill of Rights forever. I will send that article out shortly, but please act now to put some serious pressure on your Senators to stop the detention provisions in S. 1867.

For an in-depth analysis of "enemy combatant status" see my 2004 Yale paper, available at:http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2010/11/09/solving-the-puzzle-of-enemy-combatant-­status-stewart-rhodes/

We are now very nearly at the point where all that will save liberty in America is another American Revolution. This bill, if it becomes law, will shove us across that line, placing us in almost exactly the same position our forefathers were in when they were forced to take up arms in defense of their liberty in 1775. If you wish to avoid that, you must stop this bill from becoming law, right now.

- Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers

  • Ohh I guess you didn't here him back track and spin it!!! It doesn't pertain to US citizens!!!!! You people look so hard for a conspiracy. I wish you worked that hard to actually help us fix this country!

  • @emperorsnaked The general grant of power to use military detention and trial does apply to citizens. It says "any person." It doesn't say "any person who is not a US citizen" or "any person except US citizens." It's truly amazing how many people cannot read and understand the clear language in this law. Any person means just that - any person. But you go ahead and keep denying reality while the rest of us stand against the destruction of our Constitution. Stewart Rhodes

  • READ 1032!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It kill's all conspiracy. Ohh Alex wont say that! This Marine did.

  • @emperorsnaked That section, which is now numbered 1022 in the final law, is the mandatory detention provision, not the general grant of detention power in 1021. Yes, the mandatory detention provision of 1022 does not apply to US citizens. That just means Obama doesn't HAVE to use military detention. But he still can, if he wants to, under 1021. Which is why his signing statement promised not to. Why would he promise not to use the power if the law didn't grant it? Think

  • Drones are now flying over America where are you boys?

  • @johnnycmajor And where are you, oh great warrior? What are you doing, except trolling on the internet? We are working on the hearts and minds of the troops, as our mission number one. You can't see the benefit in that? And as mission number two, we are waking up the veterans and getting them ready. Again, what are you doing? Anything constructive? Stewart

  • @Tribulatoryfighter You Sir are the problem. It's not about fucking Democrats or Republicans anymore. Both of these football teams have been bought and paid for by the Elites to destroy our Republic. It doesn't matter who wins anymore except to the retards in the cheap seats who get to cheer 'MY TEAM WON!' while our Constitution is being erased. The same things that George Bush did, Obama is doing. Same goes for the next clown either Romney, Newt or Obomber #2. Wake up!

  • @LarryHarveyMusic

    3% of Americans is over 9 million people. Have as much ammunition, and SPARE weapons as possible.

    And USE them. Your duty is to reduce as much of the number of the enemy as possible before they kill YOU, and they're going to kill you anyway, so don't die in vain.

  • @DUPDOGGY You NEED to read this article...it's not just as you say.

    (AJ is an asshat 95% of the time) is  .gd/Z2Ev5c

  • The FEMA camps thing is a complete hoax and has been utterly debunked over and over by honest investigations. Furthermore the people pushing this crap have been caught lying and faking data and photos. There is no doubt there are many libo-fascists who want us all enslaved to the state BUT lets not believe this AJ asshat when he gets it wrong MOST of the time! If he was paid based on accuracy he's own the radio station more than they pay him.
