Moore supporting activists who have mounted a case against the Obama administration seeking change to ‘dangerous’ NDAA law

Michael Moore, the gadfly documentarian who has made a career out of fighting against conservative issues, has called for US citizens to stand up to President Barack Obama and back a court case he says is fighting a dangerous erosion of civil liberties.

The case has been brought against a little known piece of legislation called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which critics say has been changed to grant Obama the power to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge.

A group of activists, including Daniel Ellsberg – the official who leaked the Pentagon papers about the Vietnam war – and former New York Times journalist Chris Hedges have gone to court to get the language of the NDAA changed. On Wednesday an appeals court in New York heard arguments in the case and is set to render a judgement in the coming months.

Now Moore has come out swinging against the NDAA too, saying that the Obama White House is embarked on a plan to scrap vital civil rights that should concern every American citizen despite a relative lack of publicity about the case. “At the moment a lot of people think the NDAA does not look scary. But this sort of thing never looks scary at the start. But the American people will rue the day if they do not stop this,” he told The Guardian in an interview.

Moore was speaking after a court in New York heard an appeal in the case against the NDAA. Lawyers seeking to overturn the NDAA argued that it erodes American rights and free speech and grants huge and unconstitutional powers to the government to suppress dissent and indefinitely detain people without going through proper legal channels. Lawyers for the Obama administration insists that the NDAA represents nothing new and has never been used in the ways that its critics suggest.

Moore said he would be seeking to explain the case to his fans. “If the American people understood this, I do believe they would be very, very concerned about it,” he said. The force behind such hard-hitting documentaries as Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine – which took on right-wing issues like President George W. Bush’s security policy and gun laws – said that liberals were giving Obama a free pass due to his popularity with Democrats. “(Obama) puts this face on it that makes it difficult. It was much easier when the face was Bush,” Moore said “We have to work and speak out against the Obama administration and everything they are doing to destroy civil liberties.”

Such strong language from a liberal icon is likely to shock many of Moore’s usual audience. But the case brought against the NDAA is rapidly becoming a rallying cry for many civil liberties advocates who see Obama as pursuing much of the same national security policy as his predecessor Bush. “The major assault by the Bush administration has been embraced by the Obama administration,” said Hedges.

The NDAA case hinges on language that critics say is too vague. It grants the power of detention and the right to use force against anyone deemed to have “substantially supported” Al Qaeda or the Taliban or “associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners”. Critics say those terms are so broad that it, for example, include journalists or academics who interview Islamic militants or clerics. Or that the definition of terrorism might extend to those involved in projects like Wikileaks or cyber-hacking groups like Anonymous or the Occupy protests.

Lawyer Bruce Afran, who is arguing the case in court, said that the NDAA laid a basis for massive future abuses, even if it currently was not being used in that way. “I know that the government is not setting up internment camps for journalists and activists,” he said. “But the very fact that this power exists is what diminishes free speech.”

Last September Judge Katherine Forrest surprised many observers by agreeing with the claimants and striking down the NDAA language as unconstitutional to free speech rights. However, the Obama administration immediately made an emergency appeal of the ruling and said Forrest’s ruling did “irreparable harm to national security”. An appeals court then stayed the decision and ordered the new hearings to be held on Wednesday. Eventually the case could go all the way to the Supreme Court.

Government lawyer Robert Loeb argued in the appeal that critics had fundamentally misread the NDAA and that journalists, activists and others had no reason to fear the law as it was not aimed at them. The Department of Justice also brought in testimony from three conservative Republican senators – Kelly Ayotte, Lindsey Graham and John McCain – to bolster their position. However, the lining up of such famously hawkish political figures on the same side as the Obama administration is enough to make people like Moore even more implacable in their opposition. “By and large politicians are not tuned in. Perhaps Obama needs to just be educated about this issue,” he said.

While I'm as disappointed as any non-right-winger with Barry, the billionaires' corporatocracy push for destruction of key Constitutional protections for Human-Americans is inevitable (while perverting the Constitution to create/protect/enrich Corporate-Americans), no matter which party is power.

If you wingnuts think Bishop Gekko/Ryan would have not pushed for/allowed NDAA, FISA etc, it's just more proof of your wingnuthoodiness.

On another front, we'll see if the corporatocracy shuts this down: http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/6/3950664/phil-zimmermann-wants-to-save-you-from-your-phone.

I don't disagree at all that the right wing nuts would attempt the same, the problem is Barry is doing their job for them at 10x the speed. He is just as bad if not worse imo. The evil neocons at least tell us how fucked they are in the heads and have no shame to their game, Obama lies that he is about peace and change but he's just the same and is able to get neocon agendas passed that neocons wouldn't be able to do that quickly. He has fast tracked some really horrible policies, murdering Americans, NDAA, etc that would have taken the right much longer to accomplish, because the brand of Barry and the msm have the population brainwashed into accepting all that the Barry brand spews in his fake Presidential theater speeches.

SA210 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=2902): about a minute ago you said libs and the MSM weren't denouncing it. you were wrong.

No, I wasn't. I was talking about a major dis-proportionality. You know very well if Bush was killing Americans this country would be very different right now. The MSM didn't even really report on the drones story until last week. Come on, this is something alternative news has been talking about for a VERY long time now and msm and majority of Dems were silent. I was in here criticizing the msm during Election Theater 2012, they never talked about Obama murdering Americans during the debates and campaigns. This totally should have been covered during that time.

Now a few are coming out because the story broke on msm, even though alternative news and activists bitched about it for a long time. And even though msm has now talked about it, they are still doing a good job of trying to make it sound not so bad. They are having generals speak on MSNBC talking about how these things are necessary, they are having polls asking Americans if they support drone strikes on Americans if they are Al Qaeda members, and the stupid population votes in a majority for the drones (if the polls are even legit), because the way they form the question.

IMO, the reason for that is because they keep talking about Al Awalaki as an Al Qaeda member (hardly talking about how NO proof of this has been presented), but the entire time pretty much ignoring and focusing in on the 16 year old boy, his son, that was murdered for no reason.

That's key. Of course stupid Americans will vote in support of drones, when msm continues to tell them about "Al Qaeda", and then ignore the story of the 16 year old for the most part, and then lie and say civilian casualties are in the single digits, (only because Obama purposely changed the definition of civilian, naming all kids 16 years and up as "military combatants". Why won't they key in on those facts? Ppl are still being brainwashed.

Again, some ppl are barely coming out, where were they when this all started happening, why did they ignore it during the election? It's all theater. I'm glad its out now, thats why I am the one posting the stories, but they are way behind, and still not giving the full story.

I hope they start pressing the issue more on lack of evidence and the 16 year old boy. That, imo, would make a difference. And you also know msm does not cover NDAA.

Not trying to insult anyone -- just think its funny when anyone claims a "win" on SpursTalk. If you were insulted, I'm sorry.

I don't have a problem with you pointing out hypocrisy because I share that view in this instance.

Assuming legislation like the current NDAA and the CIA's stance on torture are only the beginnings of more nefarious occurrences... How long before one party having just had a strong election, decides to consolidate power? Their political opponents start disappearing, only to subsequently reappear, confess communicating key information and aid to the GUN (global underground network of terrorists), and willingly be hanged for their treason? Fifty years? 30?

Yeah I've been reading of Orwell lately, I'll admit, but these types of events aren't exactly without precedence. The Nazis had their Night of the Long Knives, for instance. There was the end of Trotsky in Red Russia. Eventually, an unchecked government becomes power mad and imprisons or kills the opponents. Orwell was very forward thinking, but not even he imagined as perfect a state enemy as the ambiguous terrorists and hackers.

So making fun of your hubris for declaring yourself 'thread winner' instead of actually arguing your position in a measured manner is proof you were right to assume FWD disagrees with your point and justifies your bush-league ad hominems against him?

I already proved it, thats why they are mad now. Winehole has simply become a troll because of it. lol

the part about people submitting willingly to hanging seems overoptimistic, but the broad outline's already there: endless war, unlimited battlefield.

I agree, actually, but I still think the principle would hold true. From what I've read, this is exactly what happened in the Trotsky Moscow "show trials." That is, the key political opponents ultimately would confess their crimes - even contrived ones, despite knowing they were surely sentenced to death.

The answer to why is simple enough. In Orwell's view, enough torture (with only a slim hope of death and no hope of being released) eventually brainwashes people into doublethink. Then, ultimately, after they've confessed their crimes publically (despite knowing they never happened), they are eliminated, either in public, or by simply disappearing again, this time into a furnace.


recently reread most of "1984" on the shitter. timely.

highly recommended.

good airplane book, too

I "binge read" this book over a night just a few weeks ago and I'm re reading it again at a slower pace. I had read it years ago in high school (maybe 7 years ago) but I feel like it's a totally different book now, not just for me, but everyone. It's eerily prescient of today's times and a future growing altogether plausible. I'm almost inclined to predict that OBL will reappear at some point to become the face of the "enemy." But surely that's pure madness... right?

TB has some kind of high annoyance threshold or a sadistic streak and therefore likes to engage these people on a regular basis.

Michael Moore, Chris Hedges on Challenging NDAA Indefinite Detention and the "Corporate Coup d’État"
Matt Sledge: Which is the corporation arguing, you know, or lobbying for Section 1021 of the NDAA?


Chris Hedges: All of them. All of them. Who writes our legislation but corporate lobbyists? The security and surveillance state is the mechanism. Look, we have, not far from here, a few blocks from here, a joint command center with the NYPD and Goldman Sachs. I was arrested in front of Goldman Sachs with the Occupy movement. And let me tell you that when they—when the security came out, it was a mixed security of Goldman Sachs security and NYPD security. These corporations have created 70 percent of our—we have 16 intelligence agencies, and as Jeremy Scahill has pointed out, 70 percent of their work are outsourced corporations. We have handed the capacity for the security and surveillance state to private corporations.

It is customary once one has declared victory to leave the field quickly or else one might have to justify such a declaration.

Anyway, protests aren't a bad idea. It is tough to get the average Joe to join if he doesn't feel he has a personal stake in it though. Same with drones.
