I'm always suspicious of Germans - just last century, they tried to take over the world... TWICE!

This whole discussion is ridicoulus. People using information out of conetext, and quoting OPINION BLOGS as sources.

Also, LOL at all the people who are scared of German bases in the US...or people who see this as an assault on the sovereignty of the US. The US has bases all over the world. In wintern, some US soldiers are training with German/Swiss/Austrian military up in the mountains, yet you don't hear those nations scream "OMG, U.S. INVASION!!".

I wish some people would use their brains, and not just hop on the scare tactics train fueled by some opinion blogs that are often blantatly lieing.

Hrm, I wonder what the German citizens in Luneburg and Hohne think of all those AMERICAN soldiers&MP's traipsing through their villages, ruining the roads&sidewalks through crappy steering..In M1-Abrams for crissake! That MUST me the forebode to martial-law-by-mercenaries in Germany! They even have micro-wave, brain-influencing transmitting devices strapped on the barrels of their guns!

For those not-in-the-know: those are some kind of barrel-stops(don't know the exact english word for it -someone help me out here?-) so blanks develop enough pressure to let the gun fire in full-burst auto-, fouls the damn thing up to no end, in some occasions they even have those fancy laser-tag thingies on front.. and on their helmets..Must be brain-amplifiers to influence Germans around them...whahahaha.

In short: You, my dear OP Sir, are paranoid to the umteenth degree! Sorry to say. IF, and only IF the Pres. would implement martial-law, it would be SO bloody fast, it would make your head spin! Remember the 1992 riots in..what was it..Inglewood? Watts? after that stupid tasering of Rodney King by dim-witted pig-cops? It was some riot, but the military came in pretty quick. It has never been THAT safe again in L.A....Same goes for New Orleans (lame as it was executed) The military is gone now..sooo, every now-and-then some variation of martial law is apparently neccesary like some sort of spanking a toddler needs every now and then, when in it's "no I don't want to" period.

Major Martial-Law in The USA? You wish!

I have to (shamefully) admit though that these paranoia-threads are most entertaining to read.

Good sleuthing, JBA!
I thought this ingenuous idea led to a fitting justice. Eventually all the rotten apples will be exposed by using the very laws they hoped would hide them.

Undeterred, John and Dorothy came at it from another angle. Such medical pensions tend to be preceded by workers' compensation claims, which the reporters learned were indeed considered public records. The Bee paid for an index of workers' compensation cases involving CHP workers and began to build a database.

This is an interesting turn of events....

Still, many of the chiefs and captains mentioned by the original tipsters were missing. After weeks of queries by the reporters, the workers' comp board acknowledged an error and released a second CD, containing more than 7,000 pages of additional case names.

I can't help but wonder if this "mistake" was intentional. There must be some other "wink and handshake" individuals who are involved that 'watch each other's back'. Kudos to these reporters who wore them down and kept up the pursuit. Give the villains enough rope and eventually they will hang themselves.

I guarantee that if they start confiscating guns from Americans, they will have an awful difficult time of it. I know people who sleep with a magnum full of cop-killer rounds under their pillow in case the feds come knocking. People with 20+ guns and enough ammunition to wage a small war. This is common in America. Even if they somehow manage to take all the guns, there's nothing stopping people from building bombs, molotovs, etc.

Hell today I was at work and they had a ton of styrofoam laying around and the first thought that popped into my head was how much napalm I could make out of all that.

Any tyrannical force that attempts to subjugate America openly, is in for an un-winnable war of attrition. Instead they are subjugating us financially. This isn't going to work either because eventually you'll push people too far and you'll get the 'Fight Club' scenario where all major financial institutions are leveled with home made explosives. I know dozens of people who think its long overdue. Project mayhem won't be fiction for long if things keep moving along this path.

double post. my internet is all whack. I clicked send like 40 times and got no response and then I reloaded the page and tried to send it and it worked on the first try.
