Freedom Alert: Update

Language has been temporarily removed, but will need watching:

"UPDATED: 2008 Defense Authorization Bill authorizes use of US military for domestic purposes! Eg. - Martial law!"

"UPDATE: The version passed by the U.S. House contained the language described below, but fortunately it looks as if the public print version of the bill has had this language removed. Hopefully it will stay that way and the language won't reappear in the final version of the bill that gets submitted to the President. The U.S. House and U.S. Senate still need to resolve differences on the bill. I still question why so many members of the U.S. House would support a bill with this language included. They must all be nuts. We will be tracking the finalized version of this bill closely to ensure that this language does not magically reappear in the finalized version....

The bottom line is that this bill authorizes the U.S. military to plan the integration of the military with civil authorities so they have a full fledged martial law apparatus to use in the event of any sort of catastrophic national emergency. The information in this bill lines up with what was described in the Vision 2020 document which is a document released by USNORTHCOM which describes the goal of a future North American martial law apparatus. It also lines up with NSPD-51/HSPD-20 which gives the President authoritarian powers during a catastrophic emergency. One thing is for sure, these people would not be wasting their time putting this stuff down on paper unless they have plans to use it."
