Ok so let me get this straight. You would rather a country with no government, no police, no rules, no electricity. A country where people can't feed themselves and die of thirst and starvation and from the common cold and flu. Where thugs control you and rape and kill you at will.
No computers, no running water, or toilets. Think carefully about what you are saying. This is not the movies we are talking about but the lives of your children and families and future generations. We don't want to go backwards. No way.
I don't care what anyone says, I am proud to be an American. I would not want to be anywhere else.
In two years you will have some other president to pass and moan about. Presidents and politicians come and they go, America will still be here, despite them.
Get a grip.

Any type of control operation using a vastly outnumbered force must rely on an effective force multiplier.
What are some examples?
Ever Hear of HAM Radio ? Where there is a WILL , there is a WAY.......
1. Confusion & Chaos. A simple matter of cutting off the internet and phone communication.
2. Fear. A simple matter of creating a bigger fear than fear of the control force. Loss of basic needs water, food, security, shelter, health.
3. Dispersion weapons, such as drones using chemical or biological agents.
4. Autonomous Robotic force elements.
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.
The control force will easily wipe out isolated cells of resistance. With great malice and media coverage to aid propaganda I might expect.
Develop an ad hoc encrypted communication network and I'll be impressed. Thomas Payne's words will ring true again.edit on 6-3-2014 by InverseLookingGlass because: missing word

I agree with you again. I do think the private merc armies will be the one that do shoot on Americans. Most of these are vets but money is their motivation or extreme ideology. These are the ones to worry about.
Look we are a nation of veterans and each and everyone of them will step up to defend their communities. Outside of that we are a nation of hunters and outdoorsman. In the short term we don't have the equipment to match our military brothers. But, in the long term anyone, anyone trying to impose their will on the people of this country will find that we will die first.
That is the bottom line. When push comes to shove, we will be free.

Nothing would usher in revolution faster than martial law, therefore it won't happen. What drivel. Unless the people actually start to revolt, which they won't... there's no need for such a drastic measure.
If you don't think that the military won't fire on Americans maybe you should look up a little thing that happened called Kent state.

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?

Then take some time checking out videos soldiers are posting on youtube many of them get off on killing because to them it's a video game come to life. The people will be able to outmatch the military simply because we outnumber them and as usual it will be the small town folk that will out last and out gun them.edit on 6-3-2014 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)
