Post 036 - CIS 537






NDAA Signed into Law


Without a lot of fanfare, while President Obama vacationed in Hawaii with his family, yesterday, December 31, 2011, he paused to take time to sign the National Defense Authorization Act into law. (NDAA (HR 1540)).


To understand how this federal law will affect the future of all Americans and our freedoms, please read this article that was written and published by a Canadian legal scholar, Michele Chossudovsky today, January 1, 2012.




THE INAUGURATION OF POLICE STATE USA 2012. Obama Signs the “National Defense Authorization Act ".  http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28441#  




If all these observations are true and we are now living in a new America where this law, the NDAA, supersedes our freedoms guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, I am very sad and upset about it and I will leave it at that.
