Scary thought: What if the neocons WANT TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW?
Advertisements [?]
As the violence escalates around the TS case, with hate radio and pseudoreligious leaders screaming incitement to murder and their followers (with their readily available guns) preparing their attacks, I am wondering: is this part of the plan? An excuse to declare martial law to "protect the citizens"? It would be an effective way to set aside all checks on their power - no annoying judges insisting on the rule of law, no handful of Democrats arguing - not that they have been all that effective.

What if setting up an excuse for declaring martial law is one of their goals?


We know it's what they really want: a fascist theocratic dictatorship. Could they be so bold as to try to force the issue with a declaration of martial law? What do you think? Is my :tinfoilhat: making me crazy to wonder about this?

We have far too many TS threads at DU, so that we are missing VITAL news like this must-read thread in which the new official DOD policy of making preemptive strikes accepted US policy is stated:

Title: "DoD Releases the National Defense and the National Military Strategies"

But I'm breaking my own self-imposed TS moratorium because I really want to know what you think of the martial law idea.
