The fake war on terror continues, and now that Senator of Tel Aviv Joe Liberman is not seeking re-election, John McCain has a new puppeteer, Sen. Carl Levin who is just as hell bent on taking away all of American's civil liberties.

The Occupy Lansing movement shows no signs of winding-down. Monday they marched to the Lansing office of U.S. Senator Carl Levin to protest the National Defense Authorization Act bill.
The Senate will be voting to allow Congress to give the president the power to order the military to pick up and imprison civilians anywhere in the world without charge or trial.
"This bill has a provision in it that would allow the U.S. government to detain on U.S. soil U.S. citizens for an indefinite amount of time without trial or cause. This is really frightening to us, it directly contradicts our constitutional rights and Occupy Lansing is stepping out to say this is not ok," said Edge Brussel, Occupy Lansing.
The protestors delivered a petition signed by occupiers in opposition to the bill
