I hope to God that your scenario does not happen. I have also worried that Government Zer0 would manipulate a civil incident that will justify Martial Law. Perhaps ISIS has an EMP nuke in the U.S.—any number of scenarios to worry about. We are like in a car during commuter traffic. We don’t know if we will get home or get wiped out.

That's not how EMPs work.

I was writing a book about how obama would cause chaos to such a degree, then assassinate the republican president elect and buy the electoral college to appoint him another 4 years. it was titled decemeber 14 which is i think the day the electoral college votes.

It was said up thread there should be riots if the Senate caves on whomever Obama nominates. That would be the perfect excuse for him to declare martial law. Just the treat of martial law would be enough for the Senate to cave. It will be a vicious circle with any number of starting points but the end point is all the same.
