May 17, 2012 - Judge Blocks NDAA Indefinite Detention Provision. “[NDAA Sections 1021 and 1022] have a chilling impact on First Amendment rights. ...The vagueness of Section 1021 does not allow the average citizen, or even the government itself, to understand with the type of definiteness to which our citizens are entitled, or what conduct comes within its scope.” -
Katherine Forrest, U. S. District Judge, New York City On May 16, 2012, four and a half months after Pres. Barack Obama signed the controversial National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on New Year's Eve during his Hawaiian vacation, U. S.

Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the Department of Defense for violating the free speech 1st Amendment in the American Bill of Rights in the NDAA's Sections 1021 and 1022 that would allow indefinite detainment under military authority of an American citizen or permanent resident only on “suspicion of providing substantial support” to people engaged in hostilities against the U.S., such as al-Qaeda.
May 16, 2012 - Mysterious Aerial Object Nearly Caused Mid-Air Collision Over Denver. “That's an issue because now we have something in controlled airspace that poses a danger.” - Former NTSB Investigator Greg Feith The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating and Denver's Channel 9-TV reports, “Radio transmissions from LiveATC.net confirm a nervous-sounding pilot reported a strange aerial object at 5:17 PM Mountain on Monday, May 14, 2012. The pilot is heard telling air traffic control: ‘A remote-controlled aircraft,Drone or what? Something just went by the other way ... about 20 to 30 seconds ago. It was like a large, remote-controlled aircraft.’ The corporate jet, a Cessna Citation 525 CJ1, was flying at 8,000 feet above sea level over Cherry Creek when the mystery object came close enough to make any pilot nervous.” To date, military, local and federal law enforcement and local airports and model aircraft clubs deny any knowledge of what alarmed the Cessna pilot.
