Are they afraid a civil war coming to this country and they are laying the foundation for when it occurs? It'll be a toss-up between us and the illegals trying to take back parts of this country OR islamist. Maybe a combination of both.

The history of the Second Amend. might be interesting WRT this Fed action.

Anybody here remember the concentration-camp threads, the Y2K-martial law/military urban exercise threads, or the "Clinton ain't going nowhere" threads? Those were the days. [misty-eyed]

If I read this correctly we can send the damn US Army to the Mexican border and it's LEGAL

1st Cav, you have a new mission..hehehe

[Dead Corpse]

Had the same thought myself...

[Dead Corpse]

Paranoia strikes deep Into your heart it will creep Step out of line The Man come and take you away..... Like the song? Read more here - a golden oldie from the days of Y2K (now maybe why2Que?)

Ever notice that the armed forces are wearing battle dress rather than class A uniforms in public? They're preparing for the coup - just acclimating the public by doing it gradually.

It's in preparation for when the Hildabeast takes over the Whitehouse in '08, and then declares martial law when the VRWC objects to the socialist mandates that come flowing from Washington D.C.

Good luck trying that crap on the Texans... :o)

[Freedom4US]

Somebody who has the time, ought to divine why the politicos felt this was necessary, since a declaration of martial law would seem to accomplish the same thing.

Watch out boys, here comes the Northern Command. They are implementing Step 4, Crisis Management and Step 5, Consequence Management.

Didn't mean anything to Clinton re Waco.

?Specifically, the new language adds “natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident” to the list of conditions permitting the President to take over local authority — particularly “if domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order.”

Sorry, can't find the sinister here. Looks like a straight forward approach to making the US Armed Forces available in the era of the nuclear terrorist.

Tinfoil will be in short supply after a nuke goes off in your city, so stock up now.

Maybe we have martial law in the laws already..>> http://www.apfn.org/apfn/flag.htm
