You're screwing yourselves.

Remember what I said about "you couldn't pay me enough to live in the
states" ?

A pack of gorrillas flash-robbing a 7-11 in the DC area is nothing
compared to this.

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial

NDAA detention provision would turn America into a "battlefield"

Paul Joseph Watson
Monday, November 28, 2011

The Senate is set to vote on a bill today that would define the whole
of the United States as a "battlefield" and allow the U.S. Military to
arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or
trial.

"The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this
president-and every future president - the power to order the military
to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in
the world. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be
swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any
battlefield, even within the United States itself," writes Chris
Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.


What's the big deal? During WW2 we had thousands of American citizens held
in POW camps throughout the country (we 16 or so POW camps just in my
state). There they stayed, without access to American courts, until
repatriated to their home country.

The last of the German POWs were repatriated from England in 1948, three
years after the conflict ended. Some, including William Joyce, famously
known as Lord Haw Haw, were hanged for treason. Russia kept some German POWs
until 1956!

These POWs were, in the main, holders of dual citizenship although there
were a few who fought on the side of the Axis out of conviction rather than
nationality.

If you participate in an armed conflict, you may suffer the consequences
should you be captured by the opposing side.

Citizenship is irrelevant on the battlefield.
