We already have checkpoints, the NSA listening to your phone calls and reading your emails, the TSA molesting you at the airport, and the IRS setting out on witch hunts to go after groups that are unfavorable to the government.ĭo you really need Obama to make an official declaration of martial law to consider your situation and start preparing? It can be done at a local level, starting in just one or two places, and branching out from there. So the incentive of making a declaration like this isn’t there.īut the same thing can be accomplished by the current pace of government expansion, and militarizing the country. Militias will have a reason to organize, and in the end, the government will be weakened in the eyes of nearly everyone. If Obama declares martial law, the feds would have to set off too many alarm bells among Americans. As the police become more militarized, and are called in to situations to invade homes and take guns away from people like they did in the “Boston bombing” last year, this will soon be seen as “normal” by obedient citizens, and reinforced by the propagandist media.
I’m not in the prediction market, but considering what has already transpired in America, martial law is certainly not out of the realm of possibilities.īased on the history of the US government, a sudden declaration of anything isn’t as likely as a slow boil- or the practice of gradualism. Is there a reason why the US government has set up militarized checkpoints all along its border?
Is there a reason why the Department of Homeland Security has been buying up huge amounts of ammunition (1.6 billion) – enough for 20 years of war?
Has martial law been declared full#
In 2014, Barack Obama has been given full authority by the Supreme Court to enact martial law.Īnd your rights as an American have dwindled at a faster pace now then under George W Bush. Apparently the congress of the 1860s, however, wasn’t interested in allowing the president total dictatorship, and fought back on Lincoln’s desire to suspend the writ habeas corpus (which allows people who are unlawfully imprisoned to gain freedom through a court proceeding).īut eventually, even habeas corpus was suspended, with some provisions. In the Land of the Free, martial law has only been implemented once at the national level, with Honest Abe Lincoln’s tyrannical power grab at the start of the Civil War in 1861.Ĭongress ratified most of the measures of the law, allowing the military to arrest people and conduct trials. Rights are suspended and the military can essentially turn the region into a gigantic prison. Historically, martial law has been implemented by governments on a temporary basis, in periods of war or civil unrest, or chaos. Dateline: An undisclosed location in the USSA
