The largest providers, known as tier 1 providers, have such comprehensive networks that they never need to purchase transit agreements from other providers.[2] As of 2013 there are only six tier 1 providers in the telecommunications industry. Current Tier 1 carriers include Level 3 Communications, CenturyLink, Vodafone, Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T Corporation.[8]

Regardless of how ignorant Obammy is, I am not worried about troop levels. Even if he dismantled all branches of the military we are still safe from invasion. Cause we are armed. Every person in my community is armed.The majority in my state are armed.There is a gun wielding, angry ass, psychopathic, tired of all politicians(foreign or domestic), black,white,red,green,or blue, ready to fight at the drop of a hat, American behind every blade of grass.
HOWEVER, the good thing is that 98.9 percent of the "Real Military" believe Obama is a JackA@@ and won't go along with it.

There are many more conspiracy theories out there that are much more worth while than this recycled fear mongering lie that has been used since Obama's first election.
If you turly do believe Obama will implement martial law, then I feel sorry for you

Blah, blah, blah. Been hearing this since the jack-off took office. It's a fantasy and a scare tactic. Not gonna happen.
Weren't Clinton and Bush going to bring in martial law too at some point?

If the worst should happen and the US Gov turns on its people it will fail. America is a large place, with lots of ambush sites.Guns cannot be stopped in the US. We have too many machine shops, blacksmiths, welders, and all around rednecks that know how to cobble one together. If there is a war here in the US it would be bloody and last more than 2 decades. I don't think even Obama is foolish enough to start it. The country would collapse and most police,politicians and bankers would be ready targets. The rich would never be safe and would spend that time running and looking over their shoulders.

It always seems like people think they know about such technologies, and the defenses in place...
Regardless, I am really not too concerned about our military. In fact, I would expect most of them to defend the people. LEO on the other hand? I am definitely keeping an eye on them...

Never ceases to amaze me what people say here about things they know nothing about.
When President Obama came here (Fort Campbell) the day after the Abbottabad raid he was greeted like a Roman hero. The reception he got was amazing and without a doubt he is the most popular Commander in Chief since President Reagan.
You see he gave our guys a chance for some payback-he took an incredible risk with a balls to the wall go ahead on a raid everyone advised against. Revenge is sweet and when he told the solders-from top to bottom-that the only reason he went ahead is because he believed in them-the place just erupted.
99.9% would lay down there lives for him-it's their job. Technically he is still my boss and I would do the same thing without question.

Once again agree with furry friend. The military here, unlike other countries, will not fire on their own. These are our sons, daughters, father's etc. As a veteran i can tell you this won't happen. Having said that, the civilian is no match for the soldiers. This is not the movies.
One armor company with infantry and air support can control a very large area and equally large civilian population.
Now, if there were an attack or some other major catastrophe it would be easier for him to declare state of emergency. Martial Law, that is a totally different animal. States are not going to allow that. The national guard is under the authority of the governor, not the fed. It is that way for a reason.

I do not know if people are just stupid or if this is some sore of fantasy that allows them to be so deluded. Just what the point of martial law would be and how it would be payed for long remain a mystery. The fact that logistics of it is impossible also is just ignored. In fact any logic or common sense have to be tossed out the door completely to pretend to buy into it.

It's shockingly feasible to control the US population unless there is an alternate communication method developed. That's why I ridicule preppers. The only ones they will be able to bully and exert control over is their neighbors. This is not noble. Quite the contrary. It's evil.
