According to Bloomberg<\/a>, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest blocked a law that the government passed on Dec. 31st, this last, which authorized the government to use the military to detain US citizens for their subversive activity. The group who took the case to court was led by New york Times reporter, Chris Hedges, who barely a year ago<\/a> was preaching to the American people that we should follow the example of the Greeks and burn our country down. From a TSO link at<\/a> the time;<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to the Greeks. They know what to do when corporations pillage and loot their country. They know what to do when Goldman Sachs and international bankers collude with their power elite to falsify economic data and then make billions betting that the Greek economy will collapse. They know what to do when they are told their pensions, benefits and jobs have to be cut to pay corporate banks, which screwed them in the first place. Call a general strike. Riot. Shut down the city centers. Toss the bastards out. Do not be afraid of the language of class warfare\u2014the rich versus the poor, the oligarchs versus the citizens, the capitalists versus the proletariat. The Greeks, unlike most of us, get it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At Bloomberg, Hedges complains that he had to change his relationships with terrorists because of the new law contained in last year’s Defense Authorization Act;<\/p>\n

The complaint was filed Jan. 13 by a group including former New York Times reporter Christopher Hedges. The plaintiffs contend a section of the law allows for detention of citizens and permanent residents taken into custody in the U.S. on \u201csuspicion of providing substantial support\u201d to people engaged in hostilities against the U.S., such as al-Qaeda. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hedges, who testified he has been a foreign news correspondent for 20 years, said he has reported on 17 groups that are on a State Department list of terrorist groups. Hedges testified that after the law was passed, he changed his dealings with groups he had reported on, Forrest said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, you mean a guy who, last year was advocating for a violent upheaval in the US and had 20 years of relationships with 17 groups on the terrorist list is worried he might be detained by the folks who are fighting against his friends? I wonder why. <\/p>\n

While I don’t necessarily agree with the law, I also don’t want my interests represented by this particular bag of steaming feces. Thanks to TSO for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
