    Default Michael Moore, Chris Hedges on Challenging NDAA Indefinite Detention / Obama

    Michael Moore, Chris Hedges on Challenging NDAA Indefinite Detention and the "Corporate Coup d’État"

    When following the good fight, I've always found Chris Hedges and "Democracy Now" to be taking the lead in many things. Here is the update with Chris's lawsuit against Obama. Democracy Now is an excellent place to stop in from time to time for world news and updates. Bookmark!

    Quote PRINTER-FRIENDLYTRANSCRIPT |
    The ability of the U.S. government to jail people without charge or trial is now back in court. A group of reporters, scholars and activists are suing the Obama administration over the controversial provision in the National Defense Authorization Act, saying it could allow for the indefinite detention of journalists and others who interact with certain groups. On Wednesday, the Justice Department asked an appeals court to reverse a judge’s earlier decision blocking indefinite detention, saying the ruling would hamper its ability to fight terrorism. On the same day, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and activist Michael Moore and the case’s lead plaintiff, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges, took part in a panel featuring some of those who were in the courtroom opposing the NDAA. We air excerpts of their remarks. [includes rush transcript]

    I can not stress enough how important the three Chris Hedges videos are: "The World as it is." Very inspiring comments and advice on activism that I feel are very important for us to embrace at this time. Many reminders of our personal powers, acts that enlighten, and the longevity of simple acts of activism that I feel empower all of us at every level.

    From the Heart,
    Kristin

    If MM is opposing NDAA, I am glad that he is still around and didn't cave to the opposition, which was brutal.
    He uses his voice to cover some issues many are not willing to touch, and I respect that. Like speaking out against that Sikh Temple Massacre in Wisc.
    Some people actually support the mass murder of Arabs and Punjabis! And they live in America! We have to stop people like that from gaining power.

    Thank you for this!
