Does anyone else get the feeling that the current fever pitch of corruption throughout our government agencies is by design?.. With the help of the Obama-media, a purposefully staged chaos leading up to the election? IN JUST THE PAST FEW WEEKS, such surreal or intentionally overblown events such as the Trayvon incident, GSA gangsta parties, Secret Service meltdown, 'outing' of troops' photos, government workers tapping into Unemployment Compensation while working, our President once ate a dog, etc, etc, ETC, does anyone really think the timing of these incidents are mere coincidences? Much of what's gone on in just the past year would've been considered highly unusual just 5 years ago..
Nearly every one of these incidents is damaging and demoralizing for America, but with all of them in the news all at once it's as if we're being pushed towards a cliff called 'election chaos'. Is the media conspiring to fan these flames on purpose? Are these events designed to rally the American people toward accepting an entirely different form of government?.. A 'national emergency' leading to a declaration of Martial Law, leading to suspension of the November election? Are we mere frogs placed in cool water set to boil or is it possible that widespread access to social media has caused a 'news story' feeding frenzy?
One look at Drudge Report (or any other news portal for that matter) reveals a level of chaos throughout America and the world that would indicate that honor, dignity, ethics and morality has gone out the window. Cheating, stealing, begging, borrowing, outing, and disrespect for America and it's traditions seems to have drown in a sea of division, fear, cowardice and political correctness.

He will go as quietly as the US Marines can make it... if he is defeated at the ballot box and refuses to step down.

There is no such thing as "martial law" in the United States.
It is not provided for in the Constitution, and it is specifically forbidden by Supreme Court precedent (ex parte Milligan) and by statute (Posse Comitatus Act).
There is NO CHANCE that civil or military authorities would support a supposed "declaration of martial law".
they be broke....and will do ANYTHING but go before We the People and admit so..
Martial Law wouldn't be called 'Martial Law' per se.. It would be a National Guard action, not all that unlike what occurred during the Watts Riots in the '60's or the L.A. Riot in 92.. Recent Executive Orders have expanded 0bama's powers when it comes to domestic military actions, and even killing American citizens without oversight. And so on, and so on. I wish your Constitutional citing had relevance but not under this presidency, unfortunately.

ex parte Milligan
On September 15, 1863, Lincoln imposed Congressionally-authorized martial law. The authorizing act allowed the President to suspend habeas corpus throughout the entire United States. Lincoln imposed the suspension on “prisoners of war, spies, or aiders and abettors of the enemy,” as well as on other classes of people, such as draft dodgers. The President’s proclamation was challenged in ex parte Milligan (71 US 2 [1866]). The Supreme Court ruled that Lincoln’s imposition of martial law (by way of suspension of habeas corpus) was unconstitutional.
In arguments before the Court, the counsel for the United States spoke to the question of “what is martial law?” “Martial law,” it was argued, “is the will of the commanding officer of an armed force, or of a geographical military department, expressed in time of war within the limits of his military jurisdiction, as necessity demands and prudence dictates, restrained or enlarged by the orders of his military chief, or supreme executive ruler.” In other words, martial law is imposed by a local commander on the region he controls, on an as-needed basis. Further, it was argued, “The officer executing martial law is at the same time supreme legislator, supreme judge, and supreme executive. As necessity makes his will the law, he only can define and declare it; and whether or not it is infringed, and of the extent of the infraction, he alone can judge; and his sole order punishes or acquits the alleged offender.”
In this case, Lambden Milligan, for whom the case is named, was arrested in Indiana as a Confederate sympathizer. Indiana, like the rest of the United States, was part of a military district set up to help conduct the war. Milligan was tried by military commission and sentenced to die by hanging. After his conviction, Milligan petitioned the Circuit Court for habeas corpus, arguing that his arrest, trial, and conviction were all unconstitutional. What the Supreme Court had to decide, it said, was “Had [the military commission] the legal power and authority to try and punish [Milligan]?”
Resoundingly, the Court said no. The Court stated what is almost painfully obvious: “Martial law ... destroys every guarantee of the Constitution.” The Court reminded the reader that such actions were taken by the King of Great Britain, which caused, in part, the Revolution. “Civil liberty and this kind of martial law cannot endure together; the antagonism is irreconcilable; and, in the conflict, one or the other must perish.”
Did this mean that martial law could never be implemented? No, the Court said. The President can declare martial law when circumstances warrant it: When the civil authority cannot operate, then martial law is not only constitutional, but would be necessary: “If, in foreign invasion or civil war, the courts are actually closed, and it is impossible to administer criminal justice according to law, then, on the theatre of active military operations, where war really prevails, there is a necessity to furnish a substitute for the civil authority, thus overthrown, to preserve the safety of the army and society; and as no power is left but the military, it is allowed to govern by martial rule until the laws can have their free course. As necessity creates the rule, so it limits its duration; for, if this government is continued after the courts are reinstated, it is a gross usurpation of power. Martial rule can never exist where the courts are open, and in the proper and unobstructed exercise of their jurisdiction. It is also confined to the locality of actual war.”
Man, I hope to God you are right on that, LLS.
I got dread, just sheer dread about the end of this year.
But hopefully it’s just nerves, I had the same dread in 2008 and nothing really happened aside fromt he election of this communist.
Forgot to tell you that there were also U.S. ARMY and MARINES in the L.A. Riot zone in ‘92, providing ‘cover’ for police and firemen.
“Trayvon incident, GSA gangsta parties, Secret Service meltdown, ‘outing’ of troops’ photos, government workers tapping into Unemployment Compensation while working, our President once ate a dog, etc, etc”
Chaos!? Heck - this is just business as usual. Now, when unemployment and social security RUN OUT - then you’ll see chaos.

If true, the White House will be trashed by 0bama’s staff if 0bama ever leaves. Operative word, “if”. And to think we were worried about what Clinton’s staff would do.. Really sad.
But hopefully it’s just nerves, I had the same dread in 2008 and nothing really happened aside fromt he election of this communist.
Looks as if your feelings were spot on in 2008.
Well, to be honest I was expecting riots. However it seems that scenario may be more likely this time around.
Definitely worried.
Maybe the MSM has opened their eyes and started reporting on ‘the One’ and his government - rather than just kissing up to him...
The elitists have been working for a long time to take the wheels off our society through cultural cleansing and massive invasion. Obama’s “change” is what we are seeing in the headlines. Federal corruption has been unleashed by him.
It’s amazing because all Obama scandals and corruption were covered up for so long but since the campaign has begun, messes are flooding out.
It is overwhelming and the cultural cleansing of the American people makes it difficult for younger people to cope with and understand from a point of view of who they are and what their standards and expectations are as a country and people.
America’s ideals have been erased or redefined into the opposite. We don’t seem to have a common civic memory and language to discuss what is happening to the country and government. That is the goal of cultural cleansers and how they weaken, collapse and take over a Nation.
Ghettobama has corrupted this nation. DOJ, BATF, SS, EPA, FBI, DOE, GSA, are all in meltdown.
FFFFF. Obama!!!
“There are no coincidences in the world of politics... NONE!!!”
Always have looked for the REAL trouble while the current diversionary tactic is ongoing. I have whiplash with keeping my head on a swivel lately.
