How about that Pentagon plan for martial law?
By Jerry Mazza
Online Journal Contributing Writer

August 19, 2005—Of course, few are putting it that way. But in an August 8,
2005, Washington Post article, its author Bradley Graham headlined it this
way: "War Plans Drafted To Counter Terror Attacks in U.S.—Domestic Effort
is Big Shift for Military." What a flair for understatement.

Datelined from Colorado Springs, the Evangelical Christian, Northern
Command headquarters, Graham writes, "The U.S. Military has devised its
first-ever war plans for guarding against and responding to terrorist attacks in
the United States, envisioning 15 potential crisis scenarios and anticipating
several simultaneous strikes around the country, according to officers who
drafted the plans." Well thanks, fellas, for the effort, but it's been nearly four
years since 9/11.

Nevertheless, "the classified plans . . . outline a variety of possible roles for
quick-reaction forces estimated at as many as 3,000 ground troops per
attack, a number that could easily grow depending on the extent of the
damage and the abilities of civilian response teams." Huh? When, where,
who?

And "the possible scenarios range from 'low end,' relatively modest
crowd-control missions to 'high-end,' full-scale disaster
management after catastrophic attacks such as the release of a deadly
biological agent or the explosion of a radiological device, several officers
said."

Translated into everyday English, if there's a real or, dare I say, "false flag"
op/disaster in the A (atomic), B (biological) or C (chemical) areas, a la 9/11,
or like the Maryland-based, government "anthrax" attack, we could be in a
national state of martial law, up to our ears. C'est la vie, n'est pas, or non?

2. They've been putting the pieces together for a while.
Crowd control weapons (google: crowd control weapons), Civilian Inmate Labor Programs ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4179456 ), and the martial law plans are now complete.

Sure gives ya a warm, fuzzy feeling. . . .

5. Long in the making by executive orders
Taken from;
Nancy Levant: Freedom - The Cold, Hard Facts
http://www.sierratimes.com/05/07/27/24_209_102_203_27308.htm

"EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.


And these are only a few.
