I do not see the US military in any way following orders to usurp the election results or warring with the American people...

The “perfumed princes” at the Pentagon, yes, but not the rank and file military...

If True, none of us are surprised at anything that goes down now.

Obama installing himself as President-For-Life?

A Trump win would be pretext to cancel the transition.

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

US Military almost certainly wouldn’t do it, and if they tried they’d get their asses kicked.

Oh, yeah I forgot.

Obama was going to declare Martial Law in the run up to the 2016 Election.

I wonder what is taking him so long?

What if the military tells the “elites” to go f*** themselves?

Maybe it is just that the military knows they will have to stop the crime allowed by the DNC that is turned into political statements/riots/looting. I am sure the military is sick of seeing the politics of the left destroy cities and create a new generation of racism from the left.

Remember when we wondered why the government was buying all the guns and ammo?

This rumor came up a week ago.
I checked every imaginable DHS, FEMA, IPAWS, US & State Emergency Management references to NROL & AROL, as well as ALL exercises and drill schedules - and could not find anything.

Not so reliable Superstation95.com updated the rumor with info from the Pentagon denying (of course) the story.
It appears to be just another instance of martial law rumors that makes the rounds, just as they did starting way back during Bill Clinton reign in 1993.

Pentagon DENIES any “Unscheduled Drills” Starting October 30 and ending 30 days after the election - Rumors UNTRUE

Pentagon DENIES any “Unscheduled Drills” Starting October 30 and ending 30 days after the election - Rumors UNTRUE

Beginning of Friday night around 10 PM eastern time. SuperStation95 became aware of Internet Rumors claiming an “unscheduled Drill” was being hastily put together for October 30, involving the Military, DHS and FEMA, and cited “fears of election unrest” as the cause.

We reached out to the Pentagon Press Office but it was beyond regular hours. So we used alternate contact info to reach Major Adrian Rakine-Galloway, who agreed to do some digging even though it was later on a Friday night. He called back and was unable to reach the folks who would have knowledge of such a drill.

This afternoon, we reached out again to Major Galloway who had been working on the matter, and he got us to Major Jamie Davis. Major Davis confirmed he spoke to Northern Command (NORTHCOM) which handles all such matters on the north American continent. Major Davis said

“There are no exercises with DHS or FEMA involving the DOD for that time period. None! Nothing scheduled or un-scheduled.”

Of late, vast rumors about the government attempting to somehow “cancel” or “postpone” the election have been running rampant on the Internet. There have even been utterly fantastic claims of some conspiracy to use “Project FIRESIGN” to launch holographic images of space ships making an alien invasion, coupled with ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) emissions to affect people’s brains and make them have a “road to Damascus type of religious feeling” to prevent them from voting. None of these rumors are true.

Feds have No Power over the Election

Elections are a function of the States, NOT the federal government. No entity at the federal level has any Constitutional authority to postpone or cancel an election; not even the President. In fact, even if a President was to foolishly issue an Executive Order, it would have no effect whatsoever. Remember, it was states that created the federal government in 1789 when the states adopted the Constitution, not the other way around. The states are sovereign, and the feds cannot halt an election.

The election scheduled for November 8 will take place. We Americans will elect a new President, and a host of other officials, and our system will function exactly as it is supposed to.

Rumors claiming the feds will try to stop, cancel, postpone or frighten people out of voting, are nonsense. Don’t believe them.

I don’t know anything about martial law, but you can bet your butt on the likelihood of “spontaneous” riots breaking out by the BLM types shortly after Trump is announced the winner.

BS. The regular Army cannot be used for internal insurrection - it's long standing law under the Posse Commitus Act. However, the President can nationalize State National Guard units.

When was the last time National Guard actually fired live rounds on citizens? My recollection is Kent State in the '60's. The NG no longer carries live ammo, as seen in the Rodney King, Democratic Convention, Fergueson, Baltimore, etc, riots. They carry rubber bullets, tear gas, tazers, and other non-lethal devices. Besides, I believe that many Governors would not allow their State Guard to be nationalize without just cause. I'm not worried.

Remember, National Guard is made up of citizen soldiers. You really think they are going to fire on decent, law-abiding armed citizens who are protecting their families and livelihoods?

Don't believe me? Look at the iconic photos of the Koreans standing on their storefront roofs with rifles in hand during the Rodney King riots. NOTHING happened to them when the NG finally moved in. Hell, the cops couldn't even protect the firemen trying to put out the hundreds of fires throughout Los Angeles. The firemen had to give up and let many stores burn to the ground. Politicians are too scared to actually do anything against looters of color.

I'm always amazed that riot police allow the savages to throw rocks, molotov cocktails, and other deadly devices at them, but no longer shoot in self-defense other than some tear gas that gets thrown back. A couple of snipers taking down the scum would have a lasting effect on them. End rant.

This crap comes around every election year. The sitting President is going to call martial law and cancel elections. It’s one of the most recurring conspiracy theories regarding elections. It will never happen. Even if the President nationalizes the states’ National Guard, there is such a thing as an “unlawful order” and every military person learns that in basic training. Obama is gone in January 2017.
