Obama's Latest Assault On Free Speech

[mrjarrell]

In order to protect the new US backed dictator in Yemen, Obama has signed an executive order that makes it possible for the treasury department to seize the assets of anyone who obstructs the dictatorship in any way. Even writers and bloggers, the way it's been written. Well, Mr. President. I'm not worth a great deal of money but I certainly stand against you and your newest dictatorial ally. Come and get it.

The order provides criteria to take action against people who the Treasury secretary, in consultation with the secretary of state, determines have “engaged in acts that directly or indirectly threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen, such as acts that obstruct the implementation of the Nov. 23, 2011, agreement between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, which provides for a peaceful transition of power . . . or that obstruct the political process in Yemen.”

In order to protect the new US backed dictator in Yemen...

What do you expect? Did you see how poorly they treated the last Yemeni dictator that we were propping up. Those people are savages.
