I mean, do you think martial law is going to be imposed by the Bush administration just before he leaves office?

well i sure hope not, but they arent bringing 2 army brigades here under the command of northcom (look up continuity of government) both at once for nothing

i think they are getting ready for something

i hear there are drills scheduled for responding to a city being nuked on october 5th

they had drills on 9/11 too, fema and norad were both running drills on 9/11 about planes being hijacked and run into buildings

the 7/7 bombings in london.. they just happened to be running drills there of the exact same scenario

so when they start running nuke drills on the 5th after just bringing 2 army brigades here from iraq and germany.. you better pay attention

lets hope its nothing, id really LOVE to be wrong on this one

They'd easily be able to get the 2/3 majority vote to override a presidential veto. Commanders would be forced to stand down or face charges of treason.
It wouldn't last more than a few days. The constitution was designed to prevent such things from happening. Believe it or not, there are some people in the government who respect the law and aren't afraid to stand up against tyranny.
I also highly doubt the military would be able to(or willing to) successively suppress the uprising that would be sure to ensue. Especially since it has been decided that military officers are responsible for their own actions, and cannot use the fact that they were ordered by a superior officer as a defense.
All of that is speaking hypothetically of course, I think I got carried away.

techinically bush has already run everything he needs thru congress to declare martial law, look up PDD 51 and john warner defense authorization act

he did this years ago


and im not saying martial law will be declared to keep bush in office either nessisarily, hes not important to the plan nessisarily, he did his part, overpowered the executive to the extremes. now anyone can abuse them
