Browsing Posts in Legislation

Remember SOPA and PIPA, the two legislative Bills out of Washington aimed at combating online piracy, both of which failed passage? Both were highly criticized by online giants such as Wikipedia and Google, so much so, that Wikipedia shutdown its website for a day out of protest. Well, the government is at it again, except this time they have sweetened the pot, and hundreds of companies are now on-board. Why? Because if CISPA passes, any company will be legally allowed to share your private data for profit and have complete immunity from prosecution. It gets even worse as you’ll see below.

The name of the bill is Cyber Intelligence and Sharing Protection Act (CISPA). The title alone should speak volumes about its intent; Cyber Intelligence (think government) Sharing (your information) Protection (protect those who share it) Act. There is a big difference between SOPA and CISPA. The SOPA bill dealt with online software piracy and the governmental power to shut those sites down. CISPA on the other hand deals with the sharing of proprietary and private data with the Federal Government. In my opinion, this is far worse.

The mainstream media let this one fall through the cracks, or simply missed it. In either case, it doesn’t shock me and is why I no longer trust the mainstream media. They’d much rather inject racial bias and race-bait a horrific tragedy in Florida than full-fill their duty of being the 4th branch of government; to expose wrongdoing therein and report to the People. This is why I do my own research and encourage you to do the same. Especially when it comes to the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order.

On March 16th, 2012 President Obama issued an executive order that has three very alarming sections which grant the Federal Government communistic powers. If you think this is propaganda or hyperbole on my part, think again. Unlike the other sites reporting on this executive order, I will provide a link and show you the exact wording that is incredibly disturbing.

It’s amazing what our Congress can legislate, then get passed as law without a single complaint from the media or the people. The latest example is The National Defense Authorization Act (S.1867), the biggest attack on the civil liberties of all American citizens since the Patriot Act. It gives the US military and the Federal Government unprecedented powers to detain US citizens indefinitely and without trial under the law of war. Most argue that the government will never exercise those powers. I see. Well then, why have them?

Let’s dissect the actual bill (which can be found here in its entirety). The first troubling part of the bill has to do with “Subtitle D – Detainee Matters” in which the following excerpt can be found:
