The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) came about as an extension of the Patriot Act, a knee-jerk reaction to the false flag 9/11 attack. The Patriot Act gives government almost unlimited power to ward off supposed acts of terrorism from foreign governments or organizations. It effectively negates Posse Comitatus (1878), a law that states basically that the military cannot be used against American citizens except in the most dire circumstances. It came as a belated reaction to Lincoln's negation of Habeas Corpus during the Civil War when he imprisoned over 400 newspaper editors that disagreed with his draconian policies.
The NDAA 2012 gives the president even more power to be used at his own discretion. The government, under the NDAA can control ALL public services, water, electricity, sanitation, gasoline...everything. Moreover, it negates habeas corpus, any citizen can be placed under military arrest without trial, or even charges being brought. In other words, under the NDAA, you have NO Constitutional rights.
The 2017 NDAA extension looks on the surface to be a funding bill, but underneath hides something very sinister....the loss of your right of free speech, particularly on the internet- the last bastion of unfiltered news. Under the guise of keeping the internet free of foreign (Russian, it states so in the Act's language) influence, the government would be able to control the content of what is put forth on the Net. They alone would be the arbiter of what is "foreign propaganda" and what is not. If they don't like what you say, they can say it contains propaganda and remove it. The House of Representatives has passed it already and if Ratified by the Senate, there is almost no doubt Obama will sign it into law.
The 1st Amendment guarantees free speech. Little by little the government has successfully whittled away at what we can and cannot say. If this bill succeeds in being passed we will have government controlled speech, the opposite of what the Framers envisioned and intended. High Impact Flix has put this video out outlining what will happen if the bill passes. There are some links to the content as well that I will include.
