The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (2012 NDAA) is a landmark piece of legitimisation in the post 9-11 lurch towards totalitarianism. Michel Chossudovsky has written that “New Year’s Eve December 31, 2011 signing of the NDAA will indelibly go down as a landmark in American history. Barack Obama will go down in history as “the president who killed Constitutional democracy” in the United States.” [1]
