Martial Law in the U.S.? All signs point to yes.

I haven't really written much here lately, because I haven't found much worth writing about. The news stays relatively the same: the United States is slipping into a Communistic third world dystopia. The Democrats are working hard to strip Americans of freedoms. The Republicans are feigning dismay while quietly pushing for the same. Only a handful of Congressmen and Women are actively trying to slow the decay.

But it's a pointless fight.
This country was predicated on the will of the people. It still is to a degree. But the majority of U.S. citizens are either too concerned with what celebrity wore what to what award show or too uninformed about what's going on within our government to understand just where we seem to be headed. For the small amount of citizens who are aware and concerned, there's not really anything new to them and not really anything that can be done to change it. So, I for one, have been concentrating on more personal matters. I believe a lot of us are these days. We're keeping our family and friends close and our supplies closer. It's funny how those who are actively preparing for any number of disasters are looked upon as fools...yet if/when it hits the fan, who's going to be the fool then?

As to where exactly we are headed, well I can only point to the signs. The signs like the Indefinite Detention clause in the NDAA (which Obama has given his word that he will never use...forgive me if I'm unswayed), that gives the government the legal right to arrest and hold any American citizen for an indefinite amount of time with no trial. That means they don't ever need proof to lock up citizens for life.

Then there's the Drone Strike controversy in which the White House has said that they have the legal right to kill American citizens with drones...again, without any proof needed. And more disturbing is that John Brennan, the man Obama wants to be the next head of the CIA, has refused to answer whether they could use drones on Americans on American soil.

And I'm sure by now most have heard about the Department of Homeland Security's purchase of 2 billion rounds of ammunition...a majority of that hollow point bullets that are NOT used for simple target practice because of their price. However, a new story is the $2 million worth of "No Hesitation" targets that the DHS has purchased for its target practice. Those include an old man, a pregnant woman, and a child. Now why on the good green earth would the government need targets of pregnant women and children!?? They've said it's because they need to prepare their new recruits for their new job. So apparently their new job will be shooting at American citizens, including women, children, and the elderly.

A year ago if you would have told me that the United States government was preparing for Martial Law, I would have laughed in your face. Now, all a thinking man can surmise is that that is exactly what they are preparing for. Why, when, or how is anybody's guess. But as of right now, all signs point directly to Martial Law. Only a fool would be unprepared.

White House demands Military Prisons for Americans under NDAA

It's getting exhausting. Everyday, I read or hear about something this Administration is doing or pushing that is unconstitutional and dangerous to our freedoms as Americans.
Now there's this report, that the White House is asking for an immediate stay on a ruling by a federal judge last week in order to reaffirm the president's power to indefinitely detain Americans without charge. Did you get that? THE PRESIDENT'S POWER TO INDEFINITELY DETAIN AMERICANS WITHOUT CHARGE!

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Katherine Forrest made permanent the injunction she originally declared temporary in May. Immediately the Obama Administration declared they would appeal the ruling, and this past Monday, they followed through. The White House filed an emergency stay in federal appeals court in an effort to get the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to strip the ruling, thus reaffirming the president's power as set forth by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, or the NDAA. If the stay is granted, the Administration would continue to have indefinite detain powers until the appeal is heard. Apparently, this is causing a stand-off between the executive and judiciary branches, as reported by Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who is listed as a plaintiff and has seen this type of broad power used against citizens in other countries.

So there you go people. Our checks and balances which protect us from the president becoming a dictator are being pushed to the limit. President Obama is not accepting the judiciary check on his power, and is trying hard to find ways around it.

Now it's being reported that this power is important as a protection against terrorists, and that it's especially needed now because the violent wave of Muslim protests against an anti-Islamic movie may start happening here in America, and that there is currently no other way to detain Muslim leaders intent on causing a riot. I call bogus on that! I've seen videos of Christians being arrested during a Muslim festival for "disturbing the peace" when all they were doing was talking calmly to a small group of Muslim children. If they can be detained for that...then certainly Muslim leaders urging violent protests can be detained as well. So that excuse doesn't hold one drop of water. Rather, I think, this power will give the president the authority to detain ANYONE who voices dissent against him.

THIS IS THE SAME THING THE NAZIS DID! They used the excuse of protecting the people from dangerous, radical Communists...and eventually used that power to detain anyone who didn't fit their plan or argued against them. WAKE UP AMERICA! When our government can rightly be compared to the Nazis....we are in some serious need of a change!
