A relative called and told me that the number of references on Facebook concerning Martial Law just went up substantially.
The references are to Martial Law training for local LEs by Homeland Security, and the people making the comments are LEOs themselves. They're expressing concern.
I saw the article here on FR earlier today concerning a training activity last night over downtown Miami. This is not normal and seems to be part of the Feds efforts to solicit, I believe, a negative response from a specific sector of the general public.
There is a lot of political activity going on right now - threats to confiscate guns, eliminate the arrest powers of Sherrifs, so-called Immigration Reform, psy-ops online petitions to assasinate Sarah Palin (which I believe is generated by the White House) - Obama is tossing a lot of stuff out there in an attempt to gin up responses, not to mention coordinated local LEO and Fed police training which may or may not be material.
He is antagonzing Patriots and we mustn't rise to the bait.
It is appalling how many people out there among the general public are ignorant of these events, as the MSM doesn't draw attention to them.
Being a malevolent narcissist, he will overstep the boundary and it will be his undoing.
Pay attention everyone.
It must be tempting because Congress has all but abdicated its traditional role as a co equal power - the Senate is just a mouthpiece and rubber stamp.
It feels to us like a NWO “Great Push” to some finish line.

They got a lotta bullets but they ain’t got no heart.
They think they can play chess.
We know how to make the board and the pieces.
I agree about the agitating and antagonizing - that’s what community organizers do.
Something is afoot, there was another paramilitary training operation in Houston today following the one in Miami last week.
Agreed.
As we are writing these words...

Oh, boy! Urban ops training for the military. I wonder if the State of Texas had forewarning of this?
I agree, this is baiting.
Let's make him show his hand!

I am not sure I agree at all.
Seems to me like a long chain of unconstitutional and prodding events.
I’m not sure but I think that we have gone passed a civil discord.
Psy-ops wouldn’t surprise coming from O. As a matter of fact, I’d be more surprised if he weren’t behind this kind of crap.
My fear is that someone will shoot at a helicopter and bring it down, killing most aboard.
I’m told by someone in the know that the local police have been informed; but are they letting the public know it is only training?
From Common Sense II
The future of this great nation is imperiled as it has not been since the revolutionary war. Slowly, ever so slowly, our freedoms have evaporated into the air of a slow motion tyranny. As Americans this was the only way to conquer us—so slowly that most of us accepted a “small” encroachment here and a “small” encroachment there, as necessary to satisfy the ever increasing hunger of the statist.
"If it's to protect our kids, I'm all for it," neighbor Glenn DeWitt said.
““Do you really think we want those laws observed?” Said Dr. Ferris. We want them broken. You better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

If they think Afghanistan was a no-win....
CWII is a non-starter.
They better plan on killing 25-30 million. Ramp up the numbers from 1865, and I’d bet I’m close.
Drones, schmones. This is America, we’re not navigating unfamiliar territory.
Yes
To protect our kids.
We should have fixed this problem before now because our kids will bear this burden.
I am ashamed of myself
We do what we can.
Yes yes
Indeed
But this time we ain’t playing. This time they have crossed the red line.
The fuse has been lit. How fast or how far it will burn is anyone’s guess. I pray for guidance.
And they should pray they are not burned by their own fire

Yes my friend we can.
They have played their hand a little too soon. There are still too many patriots left.
I believe they will realize this and back away—for now. But the end will be the same. They will keep on until any red blooded American will rebel.
Why?
I really don’t know. I can’t imagine any American wanting what the liberals want.
But with the media with them they think they have the game won.
Wrong.
It’s just half time. And we are getting our second wind
