Quotes from this video
Martial law is defined as the rule by military authorities imposed on a civilian population. According to an article in the Army Times last month, the administration’s threats of implementing martial law in not idle talk. In this shocking article, the U.S. Army admits they’re bringing a combat team back from Iraq to continue their mission in America. And that this combat team will be assigned to NORTHCOM to assist in “civil unrest and crowd control” through non lethal weaponry. This deployment is of course in direct violation of longstanding laws, known as Posse Comitatus and the Insurrection Act which strictly prohibit the U.S. Army from policing American citizens on American soil.
While such extraordinary steps toward the open implementation of martial law on the streets of America might seem like the Bush administration’s last ditch effort to keep the public in check while they rob the treasury of hundreds of billions for their banker friends, it is crucial to understand this is only the final stage in a careful plan that has been unfolding for decades through both Republican and Democrat administrations. Government plans to suspend the Constitution and effect martial law have been taking place behind the scenes under Continuity of Government contingencies first exposed during the 1980s and raised by Congressman Jacks Brooks at the Iran-Contra hearings.
And on May 9, 2007, President Bush signed off on National Security Presidential Directive 51. This top secret Continuity of Government plan effectively makes the President a dictator allowing his to declare a national emergency for any reason whatsoever and implement martial law without the approval of Congress. The plan itself is so secret that not even members of the Homeland Security Committee in Congress are allowed to see its contents.
In 2001 Sec. 802 of the Patriot Act made any criminal offense, even misdemeanors, classifiable as terrorist activity.
In 2006, the Military Commissions Act gave the Executive Branch the authority to declare U.S. citizens and residents unlawful enemy combatants and detain them in undisclosed locations indefinitely.
And now, H.R. 1955, known as the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, currently awaiting passage by the Senate, will effectively outlaw dissent of the government, even on the internet.

I apologize for the brevity of the post I submitted a short while ago. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time composing a comment only to have it be rejected because I failed to fill in all of the required fields. I have a good sense of humor, but I’m not a prankster, esp.when it involves subject matter which, in my opinion, is anything but funny. It’s downright terrifying and is becoming more and more of a reality.
I’m a concerned citizen who knows DAMN well that our government is being run by another “shadow government” either undereath or outside of US jurisdiction.
It never really occured to me until after seeing this video regarding martial law, that perhaps there was a well-planned reason for the unbelievably slow response, and the disasterous manner in which our current US administration handled the aftermath for hurricane Katrina. Was the Katrina disaster the ‘new world order’ an opportune time to “test drive” the martial law to work out the “kinks”,while treating those (I also noted it was applied most stringently to the poor who were of African dissent. I have doubts as to whether or not that was a coincidence)
I know there’s a moderator for this site/topic, but being it’s my first visit, I’m not sure if this is a forum or not. For now,m I’ll assume it’s not. However, I would like some feedback FROM QUALIFIED informed folks who, of course, probably have strong opinions, but can remain objective while expounding on them.
