http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2012and tons of main stream news about it from all over right now, but i figure wiki is best.
Basically, its the bill that by law HAS to be eventually passed every year. usually has tons of military budget amendments for the year.
This year it contains a section for declaring any US citizen a terrorist. can be arrested without charge, and held indefinitely without trial or representation.
They would be held in one of the many large FEMA camps put up across country.
Obama promised everyone he would veto the bill every time it came through with that section. but he waited till dec 31st to sign it into effect.
now he says "my administration would not be using this as its against our bill of rights" or something similar.
kind of a fakey promise now that we know he would lie and sell us out already.
the US is officially and secretly under martial law.
sure one could debate this is for US citizens who are actually terrorists and we got nothing to worry about.
but we all know how a government remains vague and abuses such things.
i still been reading the final version and discussing it on another forum.
but apparently the bill also;
-lowers age limit to join military
-allows the government to reduce your ownership of guns to 1 or zero, anyone any reason.
-allows the president to asses and build MORE nukes to counter Russia and China's growing number. despite russian treaties against it.
-its illegal to horde more then 7 days worth of food (not sure when or how this will ever be enforced)
