Fellow entrepreneurs, Americans, anyone who still cares about this country at all – this is a must read.
By the end of next week, the US government very likely will
have the power to lock up US citizens for life at Guantanamo Bay or
other military prisons -- without charge and without trial.
This means that, in the near future, a controversial Twitter
post, attending a peaceful protest, or publishing an anti-Congress
critique or anti-TSA rant on Google+ could land you "indefinite
detention" for life, in the wording of the bill. No access to a lawyer,
no access to trial.
Yes,
you read that right. This would target American citizens, on American
soil. Military personnel would be able to come into your house like
something out of a Tom Clancy novel and chopper your innocent self down
to Guantanamo Bay for life.
Details:
There is a scary provision in the National Defense Authorization Act
(fiscal year 2012) which is typically passed by Congress each and every
year to continue funding our military operations around the world.
This provision is not a mistake or error; it has vocal backing from some of the most powerful Senators in Washington, including Sen. John McCain and Sen. Carl Levin.
The imminent passage of this bill containing the provision, which appears VERY likely at this point, would put our civil rights on par with countries like Saudi Arabia and China.
