" 2012: Year of the Police State and Lies?
I'm deeply saddened for the future of this Great Nation when the first bit of news I have to report is that not only did president Obama sign into law the National Defense Authorization Act - which provides for secret abductions and rendition of American Citizens by the military should they be deemed (at the military's whim near as I can tell) to be "enemy combatants but worse - by far - as we reported to Peoplenomics subscribers on Saturday is another attack on Liberty, reposted here because it's a vital public concern:
OMG: Far Beyond the NDAA
Say, watch for this one to pick up and go viral one of these days: HR 3166" The Enemy Expatriation Act" which you should read here (introduced by Rep Charles Dent, democorp, Pennsylvania):
10/12/2011--Introduced. Enemy Expatriation Act - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to include engaging in or purposefully and materially supporting hostilities against the United States to the list of acts for which U.S. nationals would lose their nationality. Defines "hostilities" as any conflict subject to the laws of war.
Say what? Not sure how IRS would react to this one, since last time I checked, people who don't have US Nationality would, logically, owe no taxes to the US. Am I right?

But, on a little different level, doesn't this raise the specter of US citizens who engage in peaceful opposition to government policies, once declared by officialdom to exist at the "laws of war" level (declared, not voted on, since Congress abrogated decades back...thinking Gulf of Tonkin timeframe) could be stripped of their Constitutional rights without due process?
I don't know whether it's something in the drinking water in Washington DC or the "security/defense" industry is just showing us how much of congress they own...Hmmm...
Oh....here's what you're gonna hear from TPTB: "Trust us..." You betcha. Like the Germans did 80 years ago?

This greatly disturbs me: Should this second rights theft go through, it would seem that a military decision that you're an "enemy combatant" could strip you of your Citizenship which would forever allow you to be held in detention.
Which gets us to the larger question of "How can we have "enemy combatants" without a formal declaration of war?" It hurts my head and grieves my soul to write these words, but there you have it. Might as well go ahead with the name-change, too: The Corpgov States formerly known as America.
All it will take is some military officer deciding that Occupy is an enemy of America and showing up for one of their demonstrations could someday be classified as an "enemy act" and if (we hope soon to be former) representative Charles Dent has his way, you could be stripped of your USA Citizenship.
Not just Occupy: Notice the FBI reportedly wants "food activists" reclassified as "terrorists" according to this site which is notoriously slow loading but which can be picked up other places like this Google search here."
