The U.S. Supreme Court decision to refuse to hear our case [Hedges vs Obama] concerning Section 1021(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which permits the military to seize U.S. citizens and hold them indefinitely in military detention centers without due process, means that this provision will continue to be law. It means the nation has entered a post-constitutional era. It means that extraordinary rendition of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil by our government is legal. It means that the courts, like the legislative and executive branches of government, exclusively serve corporate power — one of the core definitions of fascism. It means that the internal mechanisms of state are so corrupted and subservient to corporate power that there is no hope of reform or protection for citizens under our most basic constitutional rights. It means that the consent of the governed — a poll by OpenCongress.com showed that this provision had a 98 percent disapproval rating — is a cruel joke. And it means that if we do not rapidly build militant mass movements to overthrow corporate tyranny, including breaking the back of the two-party duopoly that is the mask of corporate power, we will lose our liberty.

I've got a great idea!
They've done such a wonderful job of bastardizing all past laws, lets allow them to make moar!
The cop and judge both need a hi velocity education! I doubt there are any real 3 per cent people in NY, they are all to concerned about there little piece of the action. Too bad some of these fuckers don't get what they deserve.
When you send someone to prison over this kind of bullshit, you make another enemy of the state. She has 50 good years to get some pay back. Good luck gal, remember the old Sicilian mantra, "revenge is best served well aged and cold". You will have your chance at them,, just be the cat, not the junk yard dog".
Lose, you fuckers already lost your liberty, this is just one of those formalities at this point.
Keep thinking that piece of paper actually means anything still. It is just a formality to keep the 'patriots' from rioting.
"Patriots" meaning any non-governmental gun owner.
My rights are natural regardless of what the document states. It has been altered by majorities and can be altered again too--not that our current government cares to follow it anyway. The US Constitution was meant to limit the federal government. Unfortunately, it has failed miserably, and there's no easy solution to our situation.
As long as we remain armed, our liberty is not just a formality. Millions of Americans will not disarm either. That's why the world is being pushed to global war. How do you get rid of 100 million gun owners when they will mostly likely not comply? The answer to that question makes me lose a lot of sleep at night.
Unfortunately, you have a valid point.
That "piece of paper " gives the Patriots the right to peacefully assemble and have their grievances heard. if the grievances are not addressed then the 2nd Amendment will be invoked and the lead will replace ink and words
Pieces of paper give nobody any rights.
We have the rights they are willing to permit. If you want the ones you were promised in that piece of paper, well molon labe if you think you can.
Well maybe. It depends if you are a US citizen or a citizen of the state republic you live in.
WB....time to explore that futurism art so popular with the fascists......
Well they are desperate, and right on the money.

The verdict in the biggest Occupy related criminal case in New York City, that of Cecily McMillan, came down Monday afternoon. As disturbing as it is that she was found guilty of felony assault against Officer Grantley Bovell, the circumstances of her trial reflect an even more disturbing reality – that of normalized police violence, disproportionately punitive sentences (McMillan faces seven years in prison), and a criminal penal system based on anything but justice. While this is nothing new for the over-policed communities of New York City, what happened to McMillan reveals just how powerful and unrestrained a massive police force can be in fighting back against the very people with whom it is charged to protect.
McMillan was one of roughly 70 protesters arrested on March 17, 2012. She and hundreds of other activists, along with journalists like me, had gathered in Zuccotti Park to mark the six-month anniversary of the start of Occupy Wall Street. It was four months after the New York Police Department had evicted the Occupy encampment from the park in a mass of violent arrests.
...
But the jury didn't hear anything about the police violence that took place in Zuccotti Park that night. They didn't hear about what happened there on November 15, 2011, when the park was first cleared. The violence experienced by Occupy protesters throughout its entirety was excluded from the courtroom. The narrative that the jury did hear was tightly controlled by what the judge allowed – and Judge Ronald Zweibel consistently ruled that any larger context of what was happening around McMillan at the time of the arrest (let alone Bovell's own history of violence) was irrelevant to the scope of the trial.

Did Chris Hedges just make an open call for armed revolution?
"Did Chris Hedges just make an open call for armed revolution?"
Of course not, silly ! Because he knows he would be killed outright or NDAA'd indefinitely.
Just like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Bill O'Reilly, Neil Boortz, Herman Cain, Michael Savage, Glen Beck, Dennis Miller, Jerry Doyle, Mike Huckabee, Pamela Geller, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin...et.al....will NEVER....EVER....call for armed revolution.
That....and they stand to lose all of their wealth and their elite status. That actually counts as a greater loss for these cowards than loss of liberty or life. Wealth and status IS LIFE for these cowards.

So this is what the country has come to. Jumbotron calling people cowards because a dicktator with the backing of congress passes an unconstitutional act to silence all opposition to ever increasing unconstitutional acts. Most of those people you named as cowards provide a lot of the valuable information that the rest of the incestuous media refuses to provide because they are part of the act. The "cowards" have to do it within the limitations provided. Look what happened to Sheryl Attkisson when she dug too deep about things like Fast and Furious and Benghazi. Her boss David Rhodes made life rather rough. He happens to be the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security advisor. One small example. It is easy to call people cowards when the gun isn't pointed at your head. Yes, they have a lot to lose. Money, elite status, life. However, they do reveal things that the rest of the bought off media fails to provide, in fact refuse to report on. Leeland Yee disappeared from the news media a day or so after his bust, but then, he was a gun running, terrorist supporting, anti-gun Democrat.
First of all......bite me dickhead....for using a beloved character from my all time favorite sci-fi show....and besmirching that name by being an idiot drone of conservative media.
Secondly.....all of the cowards I mentioned ALL....to a MAN and WOMAN....all like to reference the Founding Fathers. And not ONE.....NOT....A...SINGLE....ONE....has ever called or are not calling at this very moment....like the Founding Fathers did....for armed revolution.
We suffer under tyranny EVERY BIT AS BAD....if not FAR WORSE than the Founding Fathers did or could ever dream of. And yet they all put their lives and livelihoods for themselves and their family on the line by calling for independence, secession from Britian and tyranny, and for armed revolution when the Brits responded by sending over troops to kill us and enslave us further.
Get this through your thick skull.....elites on both sides of the political spectrum....Right and Left, Republican and Democrat, have too much to lose to be calling for armed revolution. That's why EVERYONE TALKS a good game.....but they never stick their asses on the line. THEY CAN'T EVEN GET ENOUGH COURAGE TO GET ARRESTED BY AN ACT OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MUCH LESS ARMED CONFLICT !!!!
Conservative media is all full of shit, hot air and cowardice. They can reference the Founding Fathers again.....when I see them in jail, leading an armed revolt or dead in the streets from an act of civil disobediance or armed revolt.
The Constitution was born in blood. The only way to save it is through bloodshed once again. Everything else from conservative media is simply a lot of hot air infused bullshit.
No one will call out openly for armed insurrection as that is considered to be 'domestic enemy of the state.' However, if any momentum should start to percolate (like Kiev, for instance - or the U.S. in the 1960's) there would sure be a lot of support for such a movment, including the U.S. Military. It's not about burning down towns, like the integrationists did back then, it's about finding methods to sieze control without destroying the very things that the supportive group wants to save.
The military gets paid by the STATE. They are not going to bite the hand that feeds it. Don't count on the military to do anything but follow orders from the state.
What they want to save is probably too infiltrated with cancer and is unsalvageable.
I assume they don't want to lose their "sacred honor" either....
Hold on, every single one of those Neo-Cons is continually calling for armed revolution [in someone else's country and financed by the USA tax serfs]

DONKEY and elephant also ...statue of liberty too. nice.
YESSSSSS.
fat people are easier to control. They don't have the energy to run away and scheme their revenge.
What a plan.
bring me your tired, that they may take work two and three jobs just to survive, and suffer dissipation of their souls, give me your poor, so they may become obscenely wealthy through casinos like those on wall street, give me your huddled masses so that they may become a mass audience to clowns and jesters, and corrupt politicians. let the roar of their applause be amplified well beyond their numbers. send me these homeless, that they may live on the streets and in the parks, yearning to be free, while every aspect of their being is recorded and tracked in order that no one ever set fire to the golden door, behind which the central bankers figure ways to make them poorer than when they first arrived.
Da fug ... okay now I need eye bleach.
I've been using eyebleach for some time now, especially since WB7 discovered the "photogenic" qualities of Frau Merkel.
What we would like...
That is a wonderful post that captures so much of what I believe. Thank you
Liberty is a redhead? Oh shit. Look the fuck out, fascism. You got yourself some trouble now.
I doubled down and married a redhead who also has red colored hazel eyes. She is more of a warrior than most men I meet.
