Yeah, like its only the Republicans that pull this crap. In reality, its an equal opportunity setup.

Until Gary Larsen comes back Ritt "the mind control satellites attacked me with pepper spray" Goldstein will provide the yucks from the far side.

Martial law will come in handy when mob rule arises and the marauders roam the streets looting, pillaging and raping.

The Sydney Morning Herald,always a day late and a dollar short.
Another "reputable" paper was on this story almost a year ago.
Pravda.RU:
13:00 2001-10-08 MARTIAL LAW IMPLEMENTED IN THE US
Troops have entered city streets and administrative and governmental buildings, as well as cultural memorials and famous buildings, are being guarded.
The cities are divided into responsibility zones; in business districts, check points are being created, which can be crossed only with a special permit. Parking is being redirected near administrative buildings. Planes are patrolling the air space.
These security measures (nothing of the kind has taken place since WWII) were taken by the US just after launching the military action against Afghanistan.
In his TV speech, George Bush appealed to Americans to understand the necessity of such measures. He personally obliged the governors of the states to use the National Guard to protect local public places.
To defend our nation, the government has engaged reserves," George Bush said in his TV speech, which was transmitted in the US just before the bombardments.
Ha!

So what do we do?
Continue our present course of a case by case examination of the need, rollback years of second Amendment drift and arm the populus with suitable weapons or rely increasingly on the power and authority of our professional soliders for our personal defense against domestic threats sponsored by foreign, soverign nations.

An excuse for martial law should never be made or attempted. The answer to mob rule and roaming marauders is: responsibility, basic planning, and a .45 (if not two) (and not necessarily in that order).

He fails to state how the Hartford, Connecticut police had conspired to destroy him so he had to flee to claim political asylum in Sweden! Maybe the editors cut that out.
Perhaps he should take a looksee at the laws of his protector country...might surprise him.

Martial law won't work without federal troops. For that reason Bush is pushing to repeal the Posse Comitatus Act which prohibited the use of federal troops to enforce laws.
To: lainie
The claim of concentration camps is not new. It has been floating arround since 1969 or 1970 as Executive Order number 11490. (October 20,1969)

See you in Kremmling. Hope you stashed a couple jump kits in the woods before you moved. :)

Good post. It's a brain awakener.
Ritt is not the only one to report on this subject. Charlotte Iserbyt from the Reagan Administration reports that the mechanism is in place. Read it at
http://www.uhuh.com/education/noamer.htm
An old list of prison camps will be found at
http://www.uhuh.com/control/list-cam.htm
I have neither time, money nor authority to check out these prison sites, and my Congress Critters refused to even discuss it with me. So, go figure.
For those of you who wish to read the Executive Order (EO), the most complete list on the Internet is the Donnelly Collection at
http://www.uhuh.com/laws/list-law.htm
Want read about how nice FEMA is? Try
http://www.uhuh.com/control/fema/list-fema.htm
I still believe that a well armed citizenry is our best defence (sic.), to paraphrase the Federalist Papers.
Enjoy your vacation with full room and board, or else . . .

"The plan was said to be similar to one Mr Giuffrida had developed earlier to combat "a national uprising by black militants". It provided for the detention "of at least 21million American Negroes"' in "assembly centres or relocation camps"." (Sydney Morning Herald)
How can anyone take this crap seriously? Not only would rounding up effectively every black American suddenly enough to avoid mass insurrection in every black neighborhood be far beyond a military that has only 1/10th as many people as the number of blacks named in this - but the lower enlisted ranks of the GIs who'd have to be doing it are almost half nonwhites!
And add that one other reality - economic impracticality. What would happen to the U.S. economy if effectively no black labor existed within a week? And who'd pick up the garbage?

Don't you feel safer now?
Baby Bush is going to take care of us.

Uh, yeah, sure.

Repeal of Posse Comitatus will empower US military to arrest and shoot American citizens
Are they gonna shoot everyone they arrest. Lol
Rumsfeld said he didn't plan to recommend any adjustments to the military's role. "I don't think anyone should hold their breaths waiting for changes in Posse Comitatus," he said.

This was posted earlier, but the thread was pulled.
The moderator thought that the author was not credible. Oddly, the author was the one to break the TIPS story that washtimes and every other news outlet picked up.
Too many Bushies as moderators?
Hint: When the real trouble strikes, don't rely on this site. Make friends that you can talk to without computers.
