In links within this thread and in a couple other meanderings today the same words come back to haunt me:

Like Sheeps to the Slaughter

Auntie Emm! I wanna come home!

Monitoring, in the spirit of this thread, assumes that you are within the reach of the US intel. They may try to "round up" Americans when sit-x or martial law takes effect in the States but Americans are all over the globe. They can't reach all of us.

How are they going to find me when I'm virtually everywhere and nowhere

Anyone who soeaks up these days is at risk of being classified as a threat. I had this discussion with friends and key supporters before I came to ATS. I understand and I accept that I may be on such a list.

The best defense against this is...continued transmission of thoughts and ideas. Speak, while you still can. Reach as many people as you can, while you are still able.

There is an old saying. You can silence a person, but you can't silence an idea. We should remember this, and try to pass it on to others.

I've mentioned this elsewhere a couple of times, but not on this thread:

EVERYONE reading and visiting ATS, GLP, etc on a regular basis, whether they are skeptics or believers of topics - are on the list of dissidents and intellectuals who will be 'rounded up' during any martial law/power seizure situations.

Your self assuredness is in fact a vulnerability. You should probably laugh less and think more. Most of the intelligence agencies work together to some degree. Putting your thumb in their eye won't work to your benefit; trust me on this one. I counsel caution and silence, unless your conscience requires you to go to war of course.

How do you know that? You sound like you are expressing a fact, as opposed to an opinion.

I don't think we'll be rounded up. It would be stupidity of the highest degree to have all your "threats" in one basket, so to speak. Forget us trying to find others of like mind; the government will do it for us and pay for our transportation, apparently.

Of course, if i'm wrong then it's time for a pre-emptive strike.

I think most everyone knew it was there, this seems more like just a confirmation. With one in thirty+ people on the list, someone you know, if not yourself, stands a good chance of being on this list.

However, rounding up even a fraction of that number would be a major task. My guess is that only the most eye-catching of all those names would really be sought in a national emergency. The logistics of finding and detaining more than one out of ten names on this list would strain law enforcement when added to all the other burdens they would have at such a time.

Still, a good thread. It is food for thought.

A star and a flag.

No, actually you are wrong, very much dead wrong. It is through entities such as Blackwater, or it's soon to be replacement, Greystone, a mercenary organization, which is currently in Iraq, and was in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, that those "subversives elements" (read free-thinkers) would be rounded up, through force, and if they were to resist, they are to be shot. That's called policy, procedure, and protocol, enacted through a National Emergency, whereas the state and or Nation would be under Martial Law.

Through enacting Martial Law, the "nice-Cop" goes away, and the "not-so-nice-Cop" is brought to the forefront in that a "private military" has less laws and civil liberties to worry about in order to "protect you" and by "protecting you" that should be read, hold you without reason, try you without reason, and detain you, without reason, all to "protect you" from the problem, which is you. You are the problem, because you question authority, if you're on that list.

Follow the link in the signature, to the Blackwater thread I wrote, and you will see what they are really up to in Iraq.

This is scary. bump
