If you orchestrate race riots, people will cheer as the police are moved in to quell the riots.
When police can't do it alone, people will demand the governors send in national guard troops and cheer when they are sent in.
When the national guard troops come under attack from IED’s and it's learned the IED’s are the work of foreign terrorist working with the rioters, people will demand the Federal govt. take control of the situation and use the full power of thew military to stop the violence.
People will cheer as the military comes in to stop the violence.
This way they have a cover.
They didn't WANT to declare martial law, the people DEMANDED martial law be declared.
If their scam were to go south with them, yea I can see them stepping it up to an EMP.
Exactly. That’s how I imagine the thinking might go.
