The march towards martial law is something that is often ignored by the general public, often labeled as Quackery or something belonging on conspiracy websites. But what’s happening in this country is exactly what our founders warned us about, and martial law is something they took very, very seriously.
What is martial law?
If you’re looking for a definition, then Martial Law basically means using state or national military force to enforce the will of the government on the people.
Under a declaration of martial law, Constitutional freedoms and liberties are suspended, and civilians are no longer entitled to their civil rights. It basically allows the government, or a tyrannical politician, to shred the Constitution and impose its will through military force.
History of Martial Law in the United States of America
“Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”
Winston Churchill
In one way or another, there have always been tyrants who have used the power of government to suppress and control the public. But if we are looking for specific examples of Martial Law being used inside the United States, we don’t have to look very hard or far to find them.
Using the strictest definition of the term, we can see the roots of martial law in America take hold during the lead up to the Revolutionary war. Although there were many reasons for the war, including resistance to taxes imposed by the British parliament, the main catalyst was England’s decision to use military troops to enforce everyday law throughout the colonies.
The beginning of the end? The Civil War Ushers in a Strong Central Government through Martial Law Enforcement
Flash forward a hundred years, and many of the most egregious examples of martial law can be found throughout the civil war. While today’s history books largely ignore the real reasons for the war or the many atrocities committed by President Lincoln, the facts of what really happened cannot be disputed.
The reason we have lost so many of our liberties can be tied directly to the civil war.
On September 15, 1863, President Lincoln imposed Congressionally-authorized martial law. While history contends the war was fought to end slavery, the truth is, Lincoln by his own admission never really cared about freeing slaves. In fact, Lincoln never intended to abolish slavery, his main interest was centralizing government power and using the federal government to exert complete control over all citizens. The abolishment of slavery was only a byproduct of the war. It actually took the 13th amendment to end slavery, since Lincoln actually only freed Southern slaves, not slaves in states loyal to the Union.
During the Civil War, Lincoln continually violated the Constitution, in some cases suspending the entire Constitution that he swore to uphold.
- He suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus without the consent of congress.
- He shut down newspapers whose writers displayed any dissent to Union policy or spoke out against him.
- He raised troops without the consent of Congress.
- He closed courts by force.
- He even imprisoned citizens, newspaper owners,and elected officials without cause and without a trial.
Our founders were very wary of using the military to enforce public policy, and concerns about this type of abuse date back to, and largely influenced, the creation of the Constitution. The founders continually warned about using military force to uphold law and order; unfortunately, most Americans are rather ignorant of history and are even more ignorant to what our founders intended when they created the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
What will happen under Martial law?
The actual words martial law will probably never be used.
The first thing you will likely see is a declaration of a “State of Emergency” — we witnessed this first hand during the so-called COVID pandemic. This may be done nationally, in cases of war or a large-scale terrorist attacks; or it may happen locally, as witnessed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
In August of 2005, New Orleans was declared a disaster area and a state of emergency was declared by the governor. This allowed state officials to order evacuations and forcefully remove residents from their homes, suspend certain laws, confiscate firearms, and suspend the sale of items like liquor, firearms, and ammunition.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans police, the U.S. Marshals office, and the Louisiana National Guard forcibly confiscated over 1,000 legal firearms from law-abiding citizens.
Depending on the reasons behind the declaration you may also see:
- The suspension of the Constitution, probably starting with the first and second amendment.
- Confiscation of firearms; it has happened and it will happen again.
- Suspension of Habeas corpus: Imprisonment without due process and without a trial.
- Travel Restrictions, including road closures and possibly, even quarantine zones.
- Mandatory Curfews and Mandatory Identification.
- Automatic search and seizures without a warrant.
When can Martial Law be enacted?
When Martial Law can be enacted is a pretty touchy subject, largely because our founders never intended the federal government or a standing army be permitted to take such actions. Unfortunately, most people accept these unconstitutional activities and are more than willing to give up their essential liberties in exchange for peace of mind and not having to think for themselves.
This is something Benjamin Franklin warned about when he famously wrote,
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
How likely is martial law in the United States?
Let’s face it, this country is a ticking time bomb. From widespread social unrest, crime, and violence to a growing national debt which includes an entire subset of our population that depends on government assistance to exist, the writing is on the wall: Trouble is Coming.
In my opinion, we are already under a form of martial law. The founders never intended standing armies policing the citizens of the United States; sadly that is exactly what we have.
Drones, armored vehicles with high power weapons, tanks, and battlefield helicopters are no longer something that you see on some foreign battlefield; it’s now standard operating procedure at police stations throughout the country. Our federal government has poured billions of dollars into militarizing and taking over our country’s local police forces, in what can only be described as a domestic military force or standing army meant to enforce federal law.
President Bush Expands Martial Law Authority
On September 29, 2006, President George W. Bush signed the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2007 (H.R. 5122). The law expanded the President’s authority to declare Martial Law under revisions to the Insurrection Act and actually allowed the President to take charge of National Guard troops without state governor authorization.
While certain aspects of the bill were rolled back in 2008, President Obama used the 2012 NDAA to further strengthen the Executive offices ability to declare Martial Law and added provisions that would allow military troops to detain U.S. citizens without a trial.
President Obama Forms National Police Task Force; Uses Social unrest as Justification.
In March of 2015, the Obama administration put together a task force that outlined rules for our nation’s police.
In his Task Force on 21st-century policing report, he outlined the formation of a National Policing Practices and Accountability Division within the federal government. The report went on to describe how the Department of Homeland Security could be used to “ensure that community policing tactics in state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies are incorporated into their role in homeland security.”
Increasing number of Joint Police/Military Drills are using American Citizens as Theoretical Threats.
From the Jade Helm Military drills that classified Texas and Utah as hostile zones, to National Guard troops in California using crisis actors to portray “right-wing” U.S. citizens in their training exercises, over the last couple of decades there has been a growing number of military-style drills that are portraying American citizens as the perceived threat.
Back in 2012, an army report about the future use of the military as a police force within the United States looked at theoretical situations where the U.S. Army could be used against Tea Party “insurrectionists” who take over U.S. cities. During that same time period, the Department of Homeland Security released a report titled, “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States,” where they outlined who the federal government sees as the largest terrorist threat in the country – that threat was U.S. citizens with extreme “right-wing” views.
The United Stated of America that our Founders created is gone; it’s been replaced by a system that has grown so powerful that most people don’t even realize they’ve become enslaved by that very system.
So how likely is Martial Law in the United States? Well, in some form it’s already here; unfortunately, most people choose to ignore the reality of the situation. That being said, to see it fully enacted we will likely first see a major crisis – either real or manufactured – something like a large-scale terror attack, war with a rogue nation, or a “major pandemic” disease outbreak.
Martial Law Preparedness Resources:
- Prepper 101: Your Survival Guide to Getting Started: General preparedness guidelines that will help during any crisis or long-term survival situation.
- Bugout Planning: During martial law, it’s likely that most routes of travel will be severely restricted making bugging out something you need to think about well ahead of time.
- Pandemics and How to Prepare for a Pandemic Outbreak: We list this here because it’s one disaster situation that has the potential to scare the entire populace into accepting some form of martial law, quarantine, and military checkpoints.
- Emergency Communication Preparedness Checklist: During times of crisis, especially a martial law situation, uncensored information will be hard to come by. In all likelihood, you will see a sort of digital quarantine on top of the physical barriers with information on the internet and digital airwaves controlled by the government. You need to have a plan to get unfiltered news and information from trusted sources.
- Best Emergency Food: The Top Survival Food Supplies: During any type of disaster you need to make sure you have adequate supplies on hand, including food, water, medical supplies, and self-defense supplies.

Wake up Family!
God is Love
All you need is Love
Love your neighbor/coworkers/animals as yourself
The problem is people need to learn to love themselves before they can love others. People don’t know how to Love, period.
Whatever you believe it’s all about how we treat each other. Clearly we don’t want to fight and kill…. Neither do our brothers and sisters in other countries.
the elite bankers are the hateful scoundrels. Love at hate to levitate.
Don’t you know you aren’t the body but the soul inside that animates it? We are unborn and undying, the now moment is eternity. We made it ladies and gentlemen, we’re here.
Wake up and love your self already then share the love. Love yourself enough to escape to a health place and be thankful for everything. Good and Bad it is all perfect. What happens is suppose to happen. ‘Let it be’ all you need is love.
My colleagues were searching for CA FL-140 yesterday and used an excellent service that hosts an online forms database . If people are interested in CA FL-140 too , here’s
https://goo.gl/VWV3my.I’m not religious person I think you believe in what they believe in and if that gives them hope and not give him strength then whatever they practice on them but you ignore nine-one-one and not really find the facts cuz what do we really know it’s scary because this could be or this could be not but the thing is we need to know and be informed of things that are great possibilities that makes us stronger as a united front with more people are informed both sides of the story true or not crazy or whatever the case may be if it’s us as the American people and it’s being said it needs to be investigated just like 9-1-1 I believe now that I’ve had some fact watching fact-finding 911 documentaries people who are informing you that there’s something wrong here not just telling you all terrorism get their terrorist because war is money bottom line terrorist or not don’t be unsure of yourself go ahead be informed informed the more you’re informed about one issue and more evidence that it’s not a no more a conspiracy it becomes actual problem and people ignore the fact facts truth and untruth it out like it’s nothing to think about your crazy I do believe that there are things that we’re not trying to survive through because the stronger people are the people in the bottom but we don’t have the advantage for not making enough money to if you are not substantial person in this world as far as financial gain I believe you are doomed not only like it’s over for you but life is really over if you don’t at check your fax crazy or not but the more something is the more probably it’s the truth and then more there isn’t there’s not but who wants to take that chance ignorance wants to take that chance the people who declare these martial laws and do things like nine-one-one are a not stronger than the people who divide conquer get informed if it’s a lie it’s a lie if it’s not it’s not you still find out the information for yourself if more people stood together that are considered the bottom people that and didn’t just believe everything that they hear and inform themselves us I dig deep we could all as bottom people the ones that are much stronger on the front if we educate ourselves so scary things like martial law 911 we protect against it they wouldn’t be able to do these unspeakable acts that’s what they are unspeakable people would rather believe what they’re telling us it’s easier that way when did we win easier to be informed and to stand up and be our own Army That We Are Family would live on and kid work hard and a good living and be comfortable and live the American dream not for somebody to say oh martial law couldn’t conquer us because it’s not right and people with any education all walks of life except for the demented people that think that something like the Holocaust is ok is alright to take away arms and imprison people without no wrong doings what would be really why because this doesn’t make any sense the fact that they’re just going to take over and just why what is the reason there is no good reasoning but the fact is the fact is ignorant of laws these things to happen ignorance is not a bad thing it’s a terrible thing it’s a lack of the knowledge that you know about any given subject so don’t be ignorant even I can’t say this enough if it’s a lie at least now you know and if more people discovered the lies and the truth those terrible truth can be a protection against and the weaker people become strong because they are the ones that are being terrorized Again by martial Law’s 911 terrorism bottom line is there is money money Means War bigger part of the world knows we can have Happy in the world can be free without your needing money now it’s all them people where did informed we would not leave the chance open for these people to even try it they probably wouldn’t consider it if more people inform themselves and they know everybody knows you’re powerful enough to call martial law to know what people are looking at so get out there people on the bottom part of this world certain form yourselves because they’re looking at what you’re looking at believe it or not conspiracy theory or not prove otherwise just check it out check out your life they know but we don’t know because they’re looking at us but if they see it educating yourself I’m think that’s f****** crazy well what if it’s not what makes it a possibility this is there watching what we’re looking at and if more people going out that’s crazy not looking too good they’re going to keep on doing what you’re doing as long as people don’t check out everything everybody everybody should check it out that’s not out there trying to do these things then they have to rethink the plan to execute such a thing because if we were in for him is something like that happen they wouldn’t want to come across all of these informative people that a week or more so there’s way more of us but they want to take us over we just become weak minded him easy targets but if we all as weak-minded and easy targets checkout crazy you’re not crazy lies or truth they have to rethink their plan their playbook because we’re not going to let him do that there’s more of us than there is of them I hope for the sake of everybody that martial law doesn’t get called it’s such a stupid thing that they would even be made and revised of a lot it’s like ridiculous that that person shouldn’t be running I mean I could see New Orleans why they took the things it was a different kind of Martial law but when you just want to know what is a reasoning doesn’t make any sense so if more people say get him out of there aren’t trying to conquer the world like Pinky and the Brain some kind of crazy Holocaust dream of theirs if someone says for the plan and you just keep on yes I can work for you because I know what you’re going to do if you know somebody move before they make it then probably going to not make that move that’s what I’m saying you open minded to eat such a story believe in God don’t believe in God to me seeing is believing and I’m seeing American Dream you shut down but a little thing called ignorance isn’t a bad thing if you get informed on what you’re being ignorant about if you don’t ignorance could feel everybody and United States of America for their freedoms 2 words ignorant ignorance be informed well I might be right or I might be wrong but at least I informed I need more important people to save my country thank you
Marks in The Communist Manifesto wrote very clearly the bousausie was not going away. As we see those words are true. Martial law , civil liberty suspension , and detention without due process. Oh can anyone say Malitia? Hello anyone home?
90% of the people on here claim “God” will not let us suffer and “save” all of us, AKA “his children”…. but when you think about it, everyone that all of you are complaining about are still “his children”. If God were real, don’t you think he would have made himself present maybe once? Just once??? No… never have… never will. Sit back and wait for your “God” all you want people… eventually you’ll have to do something for yourself! Anything that happens in this world people want to say the big fake sky daddy has his plans and works in mysterious ways…. bull shit. You just want some type of security to make you feel better. People kill….. people die…. people survive…. worry about you and the people you love.
P.S. I’m not trying to insult anyone here. You all got to say what you believe and this is what I believe. I’m not a “bad person” I just believe in FACTS!
The devil’s greatest trick was proving to man that he doesn’t exist……and that god does.
All this is heading for a ” Time of Trouble such as never was, when no man can buy or sell, and a decree will go forth ” No man can buy or sell save he have the mark of the beast.” But at that time shall Christ stand up in the Heavenly sanctuary, and say ” It is done, he that is filthy still, let him be filthy still, and he that is righteous still let him be righteous still, for I am coming to give my reward as his ( her) work shall be.” The evil doer shall recieve his just reward. Even so Lord Jesus Come
God help us all! The world we live in is doomed!
#1.. i do believe if society continues out of control, and to the level of injuring, or killing other innocent citizens, that businesses are vandilized, and business owners are at constant attack…martial law will come as a defense or conseqence of violence. #2 i dont feel that the self righteous, are the moral police of others, nor the high minded of bible thumpers are the people that fix this violent behavior, and would only be adding gas on a fire already lit. #3 the unity of the spiritual peaceful, God believing might want to be prepared, and figure a better way to stand upon faith, cause preaching to deaf ears isnt working. #4 the train is already speeding down the track, and standing on the track with words, and shaking a finger at an on coming train, just cant stop it. #5 decide who and what you are, and stand there, as there are only two choices…..do goodness, or run with the mob. #6 its a fact, everyone thinks, speaks, or prays the day of the last breath taken. #7 everyone is afraid or angry today, being human is the best anyone can do. Whatever that may be to them. Life is for the living, so live life the best you know how.
I think it is so ridiculous how you people will turn real problems that we have in this country into a religious thing. If anything, you’re the problem. “Believe in what I believe in or I will judge you.” Oh shut the fuck up. God is not real. If he was, he sure as hell wouldn’t give a shit about our dying country, let alone your sorry asses. Have fun still having imaginary friends. Learn how to solve your own problems and stop waiting for a bearded man in the sky to solve them for you.
Anyone think about this site as a place to track right wing, or tea party members? You should be careful what you say and to who. Someone is always watching. Get off the God and religion kick, pay attention to what is happening around you. Too many wars have been fought about religion and differences. Respect each other’s right to be different. The time is here to put our differences aside and unite, that is the only way we can stand up together. If you watched the last election you can see we are a divided nation.
At this height of the game, plans like FEMA, Obama winning the elections, Trump winning and then being taken out, premeditated multiple scenarios for upholding martial law in case all other scenarios fail, the evil 9/11 media show for enabling the take over of 2 countries, and much more have all been planned much beforehand. At this height of the game, with so much evidence of satanism behind the curtains and occultist groups controlling high ranking positions in many governmental institutions, it is plain fucking obvious that God and Jesus don’t run the show in any country of the world. If you Americans are dumb and daft enough to believe that the war on drugs is real, then you are blind. If there isn’t enough evidence to pinpoint that the CIA is responsible for allowing certain shipments of drugs into the States in order to obtain financing for its undercover operations, then you are blind. If you haven’t been able to see why -with so much evidence from different sources throughout the decades- that children are abducted by high ranking officials and clandestine occultist groups for sacrifices or for converting them into agents by raping them, drugging them, and torturing them in order to induce schizophrenia and then hypnotize and train them so that the artificially created personality of each abused kid can be used as undercover agents, then you are blind morons. Where was Jesus or Papa God for those innocent kids in first place? Nowhere. If you don’t why so many Africans are migrating through Central America well dressed and comfortably along with Chinese up to the US-Mexico border with the objective of entering the USA to repopulate the nation, then you are ignorant. Stop taking so many stupid selfies and watching stupid TV series and start understanding that you morons are being repopulated with people from other nations thanks to a Socialization program. The same is happening in Europe. If you haven’t found about the UN acting as a legislative body for socializing the rest of the world, then you’re ignorant. If you don’t know about The Business Plot of 1933 with Prescott Bush, the grandfather of the Bush family who worked to arm Nazi Germany, then you’re ignorant. If you don’t know that several rich economic and corporate groups have armed not only the Nazis to screw up the Soviets, but later kept arming and giving technology to the Soviets to keep them alive, then you’re ignorant. If you don’t know about the year-long epidemics and then the beginning-or-end-of-the-year vaccines that come out of nowhere, then you don’t have a good memory, if you see that big corporations are buying out the independent media, then you’re ignorant. Up on top of it all, Satanic/Luciferian groups are in full control of the world. It would be stupid to think that God is helping the good if they are going to die or are dying already in abundant numbers. I am not American, I don’t like the creepy idea of a martial law, unfortunately I believe there is a God who lamentably is in command of the crazy Devil and is playing a psycho game with his creation to see who is a hard-line believer and who is a faith drop out, etc. When I discovered that everything narrowed down to this demonic takeover and that then God will kindly come along and help humanity, I decided to give both God and the Devil a final FUCK YOU to both. I don’t believe humanity has to be subjected to crazy devil worshipping groups so that God can pick the few who will go to Heaven. Why push all toward temptation? Why force people to act in negative situations to get food for their families? Why create a beautiful world and then have it fucked by evil and then push humanity toward the extreme of unkind and unloving extermination? Do the denizens of Hell know that Lucifer is a great buddy or servant of God and that they are also being tricked into serving a double agent? I don’t need to prove myself to God and I don’t need to follow a cheap, mediocre, and malignant group of evil doers. I lead my life and want to help humanity in general against pscyho wanna-be good doers and psycho evil doers. If serving humanity and taking a middle path is going to cast me in Hell, I’ll be happy to serve my sentence there. If letting my soul die in a second death means better, then, I’ll prefer that sentence even better. I prefer not to serve psychopaths from any spiritual plane of existence.
As for the USA, get out while you can and adopt another nationality while you can. What is coming for you is not good for anybody.
Every one who thinks they have an idea of when the end is,is just wrong, the only one that knows is the father. So as many of the posts say here believe in Jesus because he truly is the only way.No one ever talks about HELL why ? because people are to scared to face the truth, at the end of each one of our lives we will stand before God and believe me when I say this its to late by than if you truly have not found God as your savor,than the thing everyone is afraid to talk about is the only other choice there is HELL FOR EVER FOR ETERNITY. Just stop and look around there is EVIL and there is GOD. GOOD BAD this whole world is absolutely going crazy who would have ever thought after so many years of this country trying to come together in so many ways and a lot of things where working than comes the ANTICHRIST BORAK HUSSIAN OBAMA since he has become president of this country he has managed to separate and divide the people in so many ways, racism is one of the biggest, he has even been so blunt about things that people choose to ignore it, and for the life of me I just don’t understand why why why why. Its time for the american people to wake up and fight for our way of life the freedom that is our GOD given right to have. Believe me I am an all American man that will not let them take that away from me and if that sounds selfish ask me if I give a fuck because I don’t
YAHWEH spoke of everything that has happened and will happen in the old testament. your rewards for evil is everlasting burning. Your reward for righteousness is everlasting life. 400 years is almost up and everyone will see that the only true and living Elohim is YAHWEH.
Anyone who believes there’s a Satan, Devil, Lucifer will have to dig really super deep and for a real long time.for that is where these entities will exist….in the center of the earth. That is where it is super hot all the time. There is your Hell – middle of the earth
For hundreds of years people have been saying, “The End is Near”. Every time you say it your odds get better because, after all, the end IS nearer. One day, you’ll be right. Then you’ll say, “See. Told ya so”. The entire argument of is there or is there not a God is stupid. Can we work on our real problems and just leave everyone to their own beliefs? Geez.
There is the old saying a broken clock works right twice a day.
Christianity makes no sense. You ask questions and they can’t be answered. So you’re suppose to follow something in which makes no sense and leaves you contused? Wasn’t Jesus God’s Son? Now He’s God. Wtf is going on with your “Bible”,In-fact the Bible has been changed rewritten and edited hundreds of times and even till this day its being changed. Many People back the Bible saying it foresees “future events”, However there’s a book that does the same thing, The Quran, and SURPISE it’s NEVER Been Rewritten.But Religion isn’t something I really care about. It’s just the common sense i’m trying to restore.
YAHWEH is the only true power in this life and any other. that “Jesus” bullshit is ridiculous. Everything that is happening is in YAHs plan we all need to seek his face and do his law, commandments,judgements, and statutes. there is no going to heaven because that’s only for YAHWEH and his angels and selects. but Israel will rule the earth like he stated in the old testament. 400 YEARS is almost up! Full blown Jacobs trouble is almost here! Get right with the most high while you can people…. PRAISE YAHWEH!!!!!!
We have a huge problem on our border with mexico. We don’t need to be fighting this senseless conflict in Afghanistan. We need to bring all troops home and put them on the border. That way the troops will not be abroad and can be close to their families and doing a job that needs doing. We have the military technology to put an end to this problem, and at the same time keep our troops at home.
