Abby Martin sits down with journalist, author and lead plaintiff in the case against indefinite detention, Chris Hedges, about the historical precedent the NDAA lawsuit sets, and why every American should care.

Comment: For reference, AUMF is the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, passed on 14th September 2001.

The Posse Comitatus Act is an 1878 United States federal law limiting the powers of Federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce the State laws. In short, military personnel are not supposed to carrying out domestic police work.

The NDAA is the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a United States federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense, reviewed annually since it was first passed in 2007. The NDAA for Fiscal Year 2013 is currently being 'debated' in congress, but as Chris Hedges points out, its most worrisome additions are probably already being used against American citizens...

Thanks

for both their voices.

Speak up America, don't let the PTB drown you out, these matters they speak of are unacceptable, these matters are pathological - they are a taint.

The rest of the world is listening and yet TRUE voices are struggling to be heard, they need help.

Public Law 107-40

Repeal Public Law 107-40, This is the treasonous law that the criminals hide behind. Remove it. The people can demand that it be repealed. It is unconstitutional.

This is a planned take down of the USA. The best place to start to restore the people's Constitutional government would be to repeal Public Law 107-40 which was passed by Congress on Sept. 18, 2001 which gives the military the power to act against any and all perceive terrorists. Start here. Create a huge uproar about this unconstitutional law that gave the criminals the power to overthrow the USA. Make them very afraid of the people.

lol The Great Game is rigged & veil is off now. 🤡
