I personally —that means it is my opinion— believe that the martial law build up is aimed at restoring power to the surviving elites once a significant mass of Americans have been disposed of through disease, starvation, murder, mayhem and chaos from the collapse of society. The dependency calss will be raiding and destroying on too broad a scale for Fedzilla to deal with. But in a few months, maybe a year, the field will be so softened that state governments will no longer form a viable means to restore order. We are looking at the means to bring about the end of We The People so that this nation can be brought whimpering into the world order lusted for by people like Bush and Clinton and Feinstein and Pelosi and Harkin and Kerry and ... well, you get the picture.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. Your timeline, as I understand it, is: 1) a significant mass of Americans have been disposed of through disease, starvation, murder, mayhem and chaos from the collapse of society; then 2) martial law build up is aimed at restoring power to the surviving elites. And somewhere during 1) the state has basically ceased to exist.
Interesting.
I should add, that would be pretty ruthless also.
Of which, I would not put it past them. As this is basically what all communist countries have done to their own people. Hmm, very scary thought for America.
