We the People, assembled in protest and exercising our First Amendment rights of Free Assembly and Free Speech, condemn the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. The timing of its passage on the 220th anniversary of the adoption of the Bill of Rights and its signing into law on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party is tantamount to a declaration of war against the very principles of Freedom and Rule of Law.
The law contains provisions that mandate that the military hold any person anywhere accused of being a terrorist or aiding terrorists, including Americans on American soil, in indefinite detention until the end of the Global War on Terror and the end of hostilities. Since under the new law the determination that an individual is a terrorist suspect is entirely arbitrary and without recourse to juridical appeal, by definition it therefore attempts to obliterate the fundamental Constitutional protections of Habeas Corpus and Due Process. NDAA institutes a regime in which the Rule of Law is replaced by the arbitrary Rule of Men. In the absence of Rules, by definition, we are left only with Rulers. The Corporatist regime has indicated its willingness to use the usurped power of the State against We the People in order to perpetuate its rule of theft, plunder, crime, ruin and war.
Our Constitutional Rights are inalienable. We do not recognize the legitimacy of the Indefinite Detention provisions of this Act. Having declared itself outside the Constitution and the Rule of Law, the Corporatist regime is itself illegitimate and any and all actions taken by it going forward are inherently null and void.
All levels and divisions of the Corporatist Elite have participated in this crime. In particular, we condemn the total information blackout perpetrated by the mainstream, big news media that saw fit to deny the American people a broad debate over this Act and its implications.
In addition, the bill provides for severe sanctions against the petroleum industry and financial system of Iran, which we can only surmise are precursors to war. We regard the Indefinite Detention provisions of NDAA as a preparation for the strong opposition that will inevitably arise from the American people to such a war.
We the People will not be cowed into submission. We will stand tall and strong for the repeal of this heinous Act, the total reversal of all police state measures, the revocation of the Rule of Men and the restoration of the Rule of Law. Congress, the President and all military and government officials connected with the drafting and passage of this Act, having blatantly violated their oaths of office to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution", should resign immediately. We the People will work tirelessly to find and exercise all peaceful, legal means and measures to redress this grievance and hold those responsible to account.
