I'm in agreement with the poster in that unless some massive event happens, there's no cause for national Martial Law to be instigated.

Personally, if a total economic meltdown does not occur, my money is on a deliberate flu pandemic in the future sometime - perfect reason to round up the people into camps to section off the infected from the rest of the population, perfect reason to instill martial law due to all the panic /civil riots that will inevitably take place, perfect opportunity to kill of large amounts of the world population (which IS part of the plan) and perfect also in that the world has been conditioned to accept such a pandemic as inevitable sooner or later, it's been in the news for 2 years now. Such an event would look highly "natural", meet with minimal suspicion and achieve various things in one fell swoop.

Of course, if the entire economy does indeed collapse, perhaps then there would also be a reason to bring in Martial Law, especially if the repercussions are worse than the great depression as some are predicting. Whole sections of society could start "losing the plot" as they lose everything they have, their are food shortages , mass protest marches, civil unrest etc etc. Such a collpase COULD ensue yet, and do so pretty soon, so I think it premature to bring dates into this issue because no-one can really be sure the economy WON't entirely collapse by Oct. 15th.

There is so much info on these boards it is hard to keep track of. I usually never comment on the political ones because I have the belief that the officials are chosen and so are thier tasks. But this thread is interresting. However, after watching what ol'George had to say on the news this morning (which I rarely catch cause of lack of interest in any TV) I only have this fact to add:

He needs a new hair stylist!

It is hard to take a president seriously who neglects personal care. But this bill is going to get passed one way or another. From what I can tell it is only the politicians that think this is what is needed, and aren't listening to the people they "govern". There is going to be only one way to fight this thing and that is for everyone to go on strike...from school, work, paying bills, going to the stores, etc. But like the thought of having a revolution, no one will ever stick together because americans are too dependant on the system, too lazy, and too afraid to stand up until it's too late.

For the people who think thier opinions actually count and believe in this government but don't like the idea of this bill, call your representatives or go to Washington to voice your opinion...it will get passed anyways. For everyone else who looks at this as something pre-planned from the NWO in an attempt to conqure the world, what do people do? From what I can tell just about everyone has an opinion about this and the NWO, conspiracies, etc, but no one is offerring remedies...no one is grouping together to confront representatives with opinions...all people want to do is simply not deal with everyone else. We are separated by interpreted lines that do not exist...similar to those at the local grocery store. They aren't there, but implied and everyone follows along accordingly.

But investing is the only thing which is going to help ease the pain of all this...investing in vasaline cause otherwise it is going to hurt!

Wait a second....the NWO uses fear to control the masses?

In that case, I have a startling conclusion to tell you:

Every NWO conspiracy theorist here is actually an NWO agent!

That's right. Think about it...what's the biggest thing these posters do? Incite and spread fear. Every topic they bring up, every incident they write about, every conspiracy they unearth, they all share one thing in common: fear!

It's a brilliant double-play aimed at misdirection. Furthermore, consider their rote response any time you disagree with them: they call you a dis-info agent, when in fact, it is they who are the agent--a double agent, at that!

Now that we have that particular cat out of the bag, NWO theorists--pay attention, we're onto you.

I think you have a point here.I believe it may be unintended,but that is how these people(the banksters)work.By obfuscating the real issues for the people who are on to them.This way other people who are just as deluded on the other end of the spectrum have ammo against what they deem as "conspiracy" theories.It is the old and reliable "divide and conquer" tactic in textbook form.

Why would the NWO or any government want to exterminate half the population? I mean the population is the entirety of the tax payers. Without tax payers then where would the governments or whoever get thier funding?

My guess is after the financial calamitys die down they'll allready have your money, with people so deep in debt they wouldn't be able to pay taxes even if they wanted to..

They'll need workers, not earners.. perpetual debt, perpetual slavery..

And I so hope I am wrong..

*edit* I am no soothsayer.. making predictions ain't one of my skills, but I would not be surprised if there wàs a martial law out in the open, right in your face, pretty soon.

thanks MD11, typing error.. edited for spelling :p

Just wanted to point out what only some have figured out-

It is spelled MARTIAL LAW, not marshall or marshal.
Some information from Wikipedia:

"Martial law is the system when military takes control of the normal administration of justice.

Martial law is sometimes imposed during wars or occupations in the absence of any other civil government. Examples of this form of military rule include Germany and Japan after World War II or the American South during the early stages of Reconstruction. In addition it is used by governments to enforce their rule, for example after a coup d'état (Thailand 2006), when threatened by popular protests (Tiananmen Square protests of 1989), or to crack down on the opposition (Poland 1981). Martial law can also be declared in cases of major natural disasters; however most countries use a different legal construct, such as a "state of emergency".

In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to a military tribunal, called a court-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur."

And as it applies to the USA:

"The martial law concept in the U.S. is closely tied with the right of habeas corpus, which is in essence the right to a hearing on lawful imprisonment, or more broadly, the supervision of law enforcement by the judiciary. The ability to suspend habeas corpus is often equated with martial law. Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion, the public Safety may require it."

In United States law, martial law is limited by several court decisions that were handed down between the American Civil War and World War II. In 1878, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids military involvement in domestic law enforcement without congressional approval. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 possibly rescinds these limits by suspending habeas corpus, but the law is not clear on whether it applies to U.S. Citizens. Since, USNORTHCOM [5] has increased its direct involvement with civilian administration."
