5 Events That Could Place the U.S. Under Martial Law

martial law

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.

    And people wonder why the Government has been buying up (and driving up the prices) of freeze dried and survival type foodstocks….

    I hate to be the one to inform you but we have been under martial law since 1851. Declared by Lincoln who was assassinated and it has never been resented by Congress nor any president.

    Congress would have to pass a 2/3 vote, it is not going to happen, and who is going to do the job? What allies would waste their time combing this giant nation for firearms, more fear mongering, typical.

    Um….under martial law your freedom, money, rights, possessions all mean nothing and are taken away from you. It really wouldn’t be fun at all, and by the way, were you a Hillary supporter?

  6. John LaGuardia said:

    Yes, but the UN forces would be more than happy to come in and terrorize the country

  7. Michael John Welch said:

    this entire article is false. look up NDAA. the federal govt needs NO REASON for declaring Martial Law. just sayin.

    Get a sniper to take out George Soros and a good portion of this rioting will stop!

    The combined forces of all US military assets do not have the man power to enforce martial law across the country. They would be lucky to secure the 10 largest cities. They would also need full complicity of local LEO departments which would be spotty at best. And if they brought in the UN expect a full blow revolution. Think of it this way, how well did they secure Iraq.

  12. Belinda Gooding said:

    I have a video that shows them going door to door asking about firearms..so YES that did happen!!

    Anyone heard of Agenda 21? Whether full martial law is declared in the US or not the United Nations aka NWO has plans to take away our guns but as long as Americans keep being obedient sheep and follow orders they will wait until it’s nesssarry. They want complete control over the entire world and they won’t stop until the doctrine is fulfilled.

    “Martial law isn’t a pleasant subject, and any period in the past in which martial law has been declared is viewed as a dark time in history. What can we do to avoid it? Start by keeping your eyes out for these 5 warning signs:

    1. Economic Meltdown
    Over the course of this past year, we have seen a tremendous amount of volatility in trade (international) and the U.S.’s domestic manufacturing base. As our fragile economy is based on 75% of consumer spending, any significant downturn that keeps the shoppers home can lead to disastrous reports. Lower consumer spending means people do not buy goods and services beyond the absolute essentials, and worse: (in the government’s eyes) they hoard money and withdraw their funds from bank accounts.
    The unemployment rate is truly about 25% and the “Soviet” style statistics quacked from the radio on “record gains” and “economic improvements” are false and intentionally misleading. A “Bank Holiday” has already happened in places such as Indianapolis, and when the politicians, bankers, and oligarchs decide, they will pull the plug on a Federal Reserve system of fiat currency that is already an ineffective laughingstock of a smirking world that is steadily returning to the gold standard. When that Bank Holiday is declared, you can be sure the financial systems will collapse and Martial Law will be waiting in the wings.
    2. Cyberattack
    This one is definitely one of the administration’s favorites. The “targeting” of the DNC (Democratic National Convention) e-mails was assigned to the Russians and officially the Russian government has been accused by the administration of such, and trying to influence the presidential race on Friday, 10/14/16.
    If other governments can crash our internet and servers, do you think it is possible that the U.S. government as directed by the Obama administration can do it on its own?
    When that occurs, cell phones will go down, the computers will go down, the financial markets will be in a turmoil and cease trading, and ATM’s and bank cards will be rendered useless. Transportation, inventories, shipping, and deliveries will all be thrown into a turmoil and come to a halt.
    3. “Unforeseeable/Black Swan” Event
    As of last week, Obama just signed an Executive Order (EO), entitled “Executive Order: Coordinating Efforts to Prepare the Nation for Space Weather Events,” signed 10/13/2016. Such an EO could cover meteor strikes, Coronal Mass Ejections (CME’s) from the sun, a comet, or any other space anomaly. Not a big deal, you may think? It is a big deal, because here’s the bottom line:
    Who is to prevent Obama from either causing another nation to launch an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) weapon, or launching one of his own (U.S.-made weapon), taking down the grid and subsequently blaming it on a CME event/solar storm, courtesy of the sun?
    4. Nuclear War/EMP Attack
    Any day we could be at war with North Korea, Iran, China, or Russia. The resulting devastation, whether a full-scale or a limited nuclear war would automatically set in motion the wheels for COG (Continuity of Government), and a declaration of Martial Law.
    5. Viral or Bacterial Pandemic
    Either naturally-occurring, or man-made. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) just inherited a tremendous amount of “police power” over the summer regarding their newfound ability to quarantine individuals or large groups of people on the suspicion of contamination/communicability regarding viral or bacterial pathogens relating to a potential or real pandemic.
    “In the interests of public safety,” or “to protect the public,” or “to maintain law and order” are the phrases trumpeted by our benevolent and friendly government.
    Are you ready to have yourself and your family placed in the loving protection of your federal government and the wealthy bureaucrats that run it? Yeah, me neither.

    If these are the 5 warning signs that lead to an inevitable martial law, then we should be worried because the news is awash with stories like these (and that’s just the reported news). How long will martial law last? Will we be able to keep people supplied with food, water, and shelter?”

    Number 1 and 2 are pretty much going to happen in the next 69 days.

  16. Angela Patterson said:

    Not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but 9/11 happened within a year of the Democrats losing the presidential election by electoral vote…
    Don’t trust any of them, they lie!

  17. William Grant Spuhler said:

    Won’t matter the election is over and all these protesters are being paid 15 bucks a hour try to get you to do something stupid just chill 2 months to go

  18. C.e. Williams said:

    200,000,000 armed to the teeth events that will put and immediate end to this nonsense

  19. Ryan Friedman said:

    They wouldn’t need to control the whole country, just half. Half of the country have been pussified and can be scared into submission. The other half owns most of the guns. Which means the UN can control them. No matter how many guns citizens have, they can’t fight against tanks, chemical weapons, and trained UN soldiers.

  20. Ryan Friedman said:

    And even still, it would come down to who has the most ammo. And we all know who that is.

  21. Ryan Friedman said:

    And now that you made that public information, you won’t be keeping all that stuff for too long. Have fun!

  22. Grant Burkhart said:

    Well, if people keep acting like little children the election I ALMOST would blame them.

  23. Joe Curry said:

    If the government declares martial law they will have one hell of a problem on their hands trying to enforce it. They should concentrate on whatever problem it is that caused them to make that declaration.

  24. Scott Gross said:

    Payton Matlock they did go door to door confiscating weapons in the lower income areas, or areas that had severe devastation.

  25. Lee Graham said:

    Yes because its easy to take an underground spring or a garden.

  26. James Hiemstra said:

    Ok gentleman, now picture all your scenarios in winter time with subzero temperatures. Maybe for a couple months. Still think you can live and survive in some rickety little lean to way out in the hills constantly running and fighting against the government?

  27. Bob Marcik said:

    Kole LaRocque show me where the pipeline is illegal and where the state declared martial law?

  28. David R. Read said:

    I keep asking this question; Who the Hell is going to take Orders From Obummer?
