The National Defense Authorization Act, which will allow American authorities to detain US citizens indefinitely without trial, comes into effect Thursday. American film director Sean Stone told RT it's a step on the path towards “a total war state.”
Stone says that instead of addressing domestic economic concerns, Washington is trying “to build a martial state, using Iran as the terrorist enemy or threat.” He adds that America is now “in a state of martial law.”
Stone went on to tell RT that the new legislation was passed in a dangerous time, when “Syria is being destabilized and Iran, on its border, is being threatened by Israel and America.”
But another war abroad, Stone asserts, will bring tremendous consequences because, “if you attack Iran, Hezbolah and Hamas will unleash on Israel – which will bring America and potentially Russia into the equation.”

I remember martial law, back in '79 and '83 of polish root to crumble eastern walls, where entire country said enough , we had enough. 35 million workers took the stride of national strike ; no one went to work except police and army. It took us couple of yrs to change the system by Solidarity with one ~ another.

Revolutions need to happen, which ever way possible, as long as we achieve a goal of peaceful, compassionate, loving for ALL societies of future. Anything else, in between, must be............................
absolutely NOT, justifying the means by the outcome is unacceptable, how many will you kill to stop the killing, how many will suffer to stop the suffering,
this is also cult like mentality , that whatever we do is justified in the name of our cause, sound framiliar? like nazi germany? or maybe crusades and inquisitions?
please people this is most certainly a time for re-evaluation of beliefs, so we can avoid more fighting and killing in the name of peace and rightousness.
pay attention to the words of those you think are "beautiful people" when they say things like ALL ARE INCLUDED except those who do "fill in blank with whatever belief you have justified to yourself"
so sad to see people claiming elightenment yet saying things like the ends justify the means PFFFF give your heads a shake

this was bound to happen,
American authorities to detain US citizens indefinitely without trial
This should be illegal under the Human Rights Acts its beyond me how this law is passing through....
