Martial Law will breakout if house doesn't pass BAILOUT BILL

[Paulite]

Brad Sherman (D-Cali) just stated in congress on national TV that he and some other members of congress were told if they did not pass the bailout bill then martial law would follow.

Martial Law will need to be enacted because of the riots if it PASSES

Kinda ties in with the reports/rumors of banks being notified of possible shutdowns.

Dugg....one more tin foil conspiracy out in the open!!! Treasonous bastards....

[CountryMe]

Can you imagine how much guts it took for Rep Sherman to tell this in front of all of the House and on National TV?? This man deserves a metal.

I agree spread this everywhere!! I have already posted it at other sites.

All those against the Bailout in Washington should break away now and form another party with Ron Paul at the top running for president. Oh man, now that would be a story and talk about getting all of us excited that want our freedoms restored. Ok, so I am dreaming but it's a nice dream.

Just hear me out......
What if the Dems sacrificed the lamb here to spread the fear. Is this guy really to be trusted. I mean I have a hard time believing that someone in a back room said we'll take over the country with Martial Law if you don't meet our demands. This seams like a plot for a bad movie (Die Harder 9). I just don't think it's possible at this point for the government to enforce a stable Martial Law situation. If anything there would be Anarchy, Famine, and Rioting. Kinda like Jericho without all the cheesy music in the background. And as soon as our troops in the Middle East hears of this they will fill up the planes, come home, and stand with the people. My only fear is that attacks will take place on our military while they are vulnerable in the desert. I HOPE!

It would probably go down as follows:

President announces officially that the USA is totally insolvent. Further announces that since it is defunct, i.e. no longer exists, that a new interim government is necessary to keep order. Rioting, anarchy, etc. erupts. Since our troops are mostly overseas, an international military force will be imported to assist the battle battalion that has been preparing for civil unrest here. Might be some kind of new 911 (maybe ten times worse even), some kind of terrible event attributed to Iran, N. Korea, Pakistan, or even "homegrown terrorists".

Or maybe nothing will happen and we'll all just wake up from this nightmare... yeah that's probably what will happen! :rolleyes:

No, he deserves a 'medal'.

The ones who vote 'yes' deserve 'metal'...and lots of it.

I think there is an even bigger question, What exactly will members of our
armed forces do if and when they are commanded to seize Americans'
firearms, arrest them at gun point, or even fire upon them? How many soldiers and
Marines love liberty and constitutional government enough to resist such
orders, should they be given? And how many officers would resist issuing
such orders?

Remember, it is the job of the armed forces to kill people and blow up
things, not to do police work. Then again, Presidential administrations from both major parties have been using the U.S. military as U.N.
"peacekeepers" for decades now. So, was all of this preparation for what is yet to take
place in the United States?
God forbid that any of the above should actually take place in our beloved
land, but I believe it would be naïve to not see that the actions and
attitudes of the federal government over the past several years do nothing
to assuage such fears.
