Why Are We Begging For Our Freedom?

Why are we begging for our freedom?

You need to watch the video below of a young mother name Daphne Lee who speaks against the NDAA Act to a bunch of our elected officials in Clack County, Nevada. If you don’t know what the NDAA act is… shame on you. I don’t say that to be mean. But if you are so unplugged from what is going on in America that you have not heard about the NDAA act, or cared to find our more about it, you’re part of the problem I’m afraid.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a United States federal law specifying the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense. However, hidden deep within the act are certain laws that serious affect your freedoms.

Below is an excerpt from the Act, the wording of which makes it legal to incarcerate United States citizens without recourse to any form of judicial process. No Due Process Required! Essentially these words say that if the government deems any person to have committed a “belligerent act” that person can be detained indefinitely without trial.

Subtitle D — Counterterrorism
SEC. 1021. AFFIRMATION OF AUTHORITY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES TO DETAIN COVERED PERSONS PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.
(a) IN GENERAL. — Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in subsection (b)) pending disposition under the law of war.
(b) COVERED PERSONS. — A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.
(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.
(c) DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR. — The disposition of a person under the law of war as described in subsection (a) may include the following:
(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.

What do you think about the video? I know it looks like a emotional mother ranting about her freedoms, but do you see what was happening here? She was begging for her freedom. And in case you missed it, she only had 3 minutes to convince these public servants of her concerns.

This got me thinking about about our plight in this country and how this is happening all over America today. How many times have the America people stood up in front of our elected officials and begged for our freedom, just like Daphne Lee did? A quick search on YouTube and you can find thousands of such instances.

It sickens me to think that this is the process in which we fight for our liberties and freedom. I guess the question we need to ask is… Why are we begging for our freedoms in the first place? Is it because we are seen as a possession or an item instead of a human being. Is it because we’re afraid?

Freedom is not obtained by begging.

We need to stop asking our public officials for freedom and demand it. After all, just who do you think that they work for anyway?
