Martial law. It's one phrase that terrifies all citizens, regardless of their political leanings. With martial law comes complete restrictions of rights and privileges, a weakened economy, and lessened individual power to enact change via voting or even protesting.
Of course, one could argue that we are under martial law right now, but compared to what our situation could be, any form of martial law that exists right now is child's play.
For true martial law, one or all of 5 things must occur, otherwise, the people see the enacting of martial law as an arbitrary crackdown and will fight back. For martial law to be truly effective, the people must think that the government is acting in the interest of the people.
One look at history, and you will know this is an absolute fallacy; martial law exists only for the benefit of those in power, and regardless of where you stand on the political playing field, you know that's not the voters.
So what are those 5 things that must occur for martial law to be successfully declared? Find out on the next page.

The military to get sworn in you take an oath to the Constitution not to the government
Dave MacDonald
I think you and I are brothers of a sort bro. I get your humor… it must be a public safety/service thing.
Not genetic, since our siblings are so different.
I don’t know that they are truly capable of understanding guys like us!
It’s tough being Perfect…
If they bring in the UN to break up these riots , and there is a chance of this , cause they would not want to use US troops to take control, then you know the Rothschilds are pulling there strings.
When they declare martial law they will not use our own soldiers. They will bring in the United Nations because they think they will have less sympathy than our own soldiers.
Lol bs
Fucking retards
There’s some dumb$#%&!@*mfkrs agreeing with you! That’s Whats the matter with this COUNTRY!!!
There’s some STUPID mother fuckers agreeing with your$#%&!@*! THATS WHAT THE FK. IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY.. IDIOTS FROM HELL.
You are a fking IDIOT!!! Along with these loser’s that agree with your$#%&!@* Libtards are the stoopidest assholes that walk the Earth!!!
I agree I was just telling my wife that this morning.
I hope you guys realise that if they brought the UN here the US armed forces would destroy them. Higher than 90% of US forces would side with the citizens.
Dave MacDonald
I have to remind mine how perfect I am too. Lol
Scary
1 thing obama
If mine cussed the only perfect thing I could claim would be$#%&!@*as such she just calls me hole. It makes me laugh
Brianna Barrett
I’ll dance with you
Ryan Friedman trained UN soldiers? Your joking right. Do you know how many combat vets there are in this country?
Jacob Martin you still have to have someone to enforce it. The constitution is never suspended.
Jacob Martin where does it say anywhere the constitution is suspended. If they suspend habeas corpus what reason are they going to use. Are they going to call liberals invaders or rebels?
James Lower true. Thing he isn’t counting on is the fact of no ROEs on American soil. Vets beat some of the fiercest fighters in the world. They didn’t do that and not learn a thing or two.
Kiersten Nicole
John LaGuardia the UN can’t terrorize$#%&!@* They step on our soil and try to control us they will know terror of biblical proportions then.
Bring that$#%&!@*idc who is president III% bitches
Jacob Shields You used a coma where one shouldn’t be present, then go on to talk about how one should learn proper grammar.
~Applauds~
Did you learn that from Liberal Social Sciences Class?
Not going to happen
They’ve had martial law imposed back in L.A. during the riots.
So, if large scale riots broke out across the country, you don’t think it would be imposed again?
Interesting read
Bob the line is on unseeded land and the Army Corps of Engineers has to get approval from the specific Tribe whose land it was before being stolen. That line is running on course of just that… Somebody didn’t do their home but unfortunately it’s too late and 3.8 Billion is the cost.. it would cost too much to reroute it….. Before any talks sh*t.. Just look up NODAPL Smh, do some studying
No need to control the entire country, just the largest population centers.
Hmmm, seems like that has already happened.
Bill Hawkins, yeah the equipment in name sure stopped the vc didn’t it?
Martial Law is the last thing OBasturd wants.
Martial law is the imposition of the highest-ranking military officer as the military governor or as the head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. It is usually imposed temporarily when the government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, or provide essential services).
Emergency Powers. The Constitution does not expressly grant the President additional war powers or other powers in times of national emergency. However, many scholars think that the Framers implied these powersbecause the structural design of the Executive Branch enables it to act faster than the Legislative Branch.
Martial law is the last thing OBastard wants.
This is what will happen.
A government or division of government (i.e. on a municipal, provincial/state level) may declare that their area is in a state of emergency. This means that the government can suspend and/or change some functions of the executive, the legislative and/or the judiciary during this period of time. It alerts citizens to change their normal behavior and orders government agencies to implement emergency plans. A government can declare a state of emergency during a time of natural or human-made disaster, during a period of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war or situation of international/internal armed conflict. Justitium is its equivalent in Roman law, where Senate could put forward senatus consultum ultimum.
That’s what Lincoln sez…
Where is our president?
Its not worth it for 3% of the population causing problems it has to be a catastrophic situation
Bud anderson if trump has his way it will be
That could mean Obama would try and stay in office. I believe this could have been his plan all along.
Our military will never take orders from Obama in regards to this issue!
Why the whole country, there’s a lot of places that aren’t affected so leave us alone.
Obama trying to stay in office is number 6.
And what’s so bad about martial law?
In case nobody has noticed that’s exactly what they are trying to make happen. That way there God OButtfuck doesn’t have to leave office.
All the anti trump people think he’s going to use martial law are just paranoid libtards. No way to put entire country under martial law. Not enough to enforce it. But good luck with your conspiracy theories. Everyone said odumbo would use martial law to stay in office but guess what It didn’t Happen.
That’s why we should withdraw from the Un so they can’t be invoked to come help the government
Jerry Christensen
Never happen .. just scare tactics
Big mistake if put into effect
Gordon Abkes there are people at the White House who will defend the constitution on Jan 20th if obama doesn’t.
Let’s be sure to tell them and draw it out so they know!!
Duh. It already is.
