Bill H.R. 1540 passed last night with a nearly unanimous vote. For those of you living under rocks, this bill is the National Defense Authorization Act, which is renewed every year, but which this year includes the declaration that "the entire USA is a “battleground” upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity." - source

The bill merely awaits Obama's signature, and although he has threatened to veto it, here is proof from CSPAN2 that the language exempting Americans from military impunity was removed AT HIS REQUEST. He will pass this bill, and America will officially become a military dictatorship. This will mean that, on suspicion of support for any entity that opposes US doctrine, you may be arrested, detained without trial, tortured and killed.

We have a few days before the bill is signed into law. I urge everyone to raise as much of a fuss as you possibly can, because it will be illegal for you to raise a fuss after the bill is signed. I also urge everyone to become non-cooperative with this government. Stop paying your taxes, stop paying your mortgage, pull your money out of the stock market and buy precious metals, and become as self-sufficient as you possibly can. Help and encourage others to do so as well. You are the only one who can protect each other: the police and military are now your enemies! Load your guns and discuss emergency plans with your freinds, family and neighbors. We are on our own.

Good luck to all of you.

Thanks! I agree. We rarely get natural disasters in PA - outside of floods and blizzards. There was a pretty bad tornado there recently, but that is a very unusual event. And there you can have a basement. We get tornadoes where I live and the water is too close to have a basement. If one comes at me where I live now, I'm screwed if I am at home. One hit right where I was once. Fortunately, my husband and son were away. My daughter was in school and I was at work. All safer structures than my house (I am on stilts). Tornadoes and hurricanes scare me a lot. People around here are used to them. I am not!!

I think that's awesome Skepticmom...I'm in Montgomery County and my grandparents lived in Centre County. Most of my friends are from another state (or country) and diss PA. This is the land of no earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes, tsunamis, avalanches, severe hurricanes, etc! (Just moderate blizzards.)

I no longer live in PA, but I grew up there. I hope no one minds that I joined. I still feel a strong affinity toward PA. I grew up in Centre County. Later, I lived in Burkes County. I now live in NC.

I've been trying to get information from Pennsylvania politicians running in the primaries about their views on atheists and secularism. Here is my first post on what I've heard; I'll be posting more in the coming days.

I saw a live taping of "Real Time" with Bill Maher on Friday. It was a great show tackling the current topic of birth control. Check it out!
