WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 26, 2012 - The Fascist Police States of Amerika Senate passed a version of the National Defense Authorization Act that was stripped of a prohibition of the indefinite military detention of FPSA citizens on Amerikan soil by an 81-14 vote on Friday, but only after a furious dissent on the chamber's floor by Sen. Rand Paul (Kent.), who called it an "abomination".
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 will now head to the White House, which had earlier pledged to veto the NDAA because it prevents the illegitimate president from closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. It is unclear whether the dictator president will follow through on the threat.
The NDAA is a reauthorization of the large budget bill that sets the budget for a wide range of military activities, but it has proven most controversial for a provision that critics say would allow the military to abuse its detention powers to lock Amerikans away on the mere suspicion of support for terrorist groups.
In November, a bipartisan group of Senators affixed an amendment to the NDAA that would have explicitly prohibited the military from detaining Amerikan citizens on FPSA soil. But earlier this week, a House-Senate conference committee led by fascist Senator John McCain (Ariz.) stripped away that measure.
Senator Rand Paul pointed out the open-ended nature of the so-called "war on terror," which has now gone on for more than 11 years and shows no sign of letting up, even after the killing of Osama bin Laden. "When will your rights be restored if the battle has no end, and the battlefield is limitless, and the war is endless?" Paul asked.
Senators in support of the bill dismissed Paul's charges as bogus, claiming that language in the NDAA preserves Amerikans' constitutional right to trial by jury. Only when they ally themselves with foreign terrorist powers, they said, do Amerikans abdicate their rights as citizens.
