Some people think I've being needlessly dramatic when I've said that America is on the verge of becoming a fascist police state.

For those people, and for others Interested in not going further down that Orwellian road, there's an interesting bill coming up in the Senate next week.

1031 and 1032 in S.1253, the National Defense Authorization Act.

If enacted, sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA would:

1) Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;

(2) Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and

(3) Transfer to the Department of Defence core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield”

What a charming phrase. and since when did America become the fucking homeland, homeland this and homeland that, it's not the fucking homeland, it's America, the "Homeland" is a name that could be directly transplanted into 1984 without a pause. Rule of thumb, everyone who talks about the homeland is a fascist in waiting.

If you want to attempt to do something about this bill, then you can try https://secure.aclu.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3865&s_subsrc=fixNDAA , maybe someone will give a shit.

As for me, a friend gave me Civilisation 3 and I've been playing that the last week or so, some ways to change the world are easier than others unfortunately.

Good luck America.
