If he tries something, it will be related to Fast and Furious.

A large group of Mexican illegals will be found coming across the border with lots of F&F weapons. A firefight will break out. Obama will try to call in the local national guard to assist local law enforcement. It might even happen in Arizona where Obama issues a hands-off order.

Once Obama establishes control, he will try to create a martial law situation in order to contain the news of F&F weapons being used. It might work for a day or two, as the MSM complies, but the locals will get the word out.

As word leaks, expect some strong-arm tactics against American locals trying to expose the heavy-handedness of Obama's cover-up of the border incursion with F&F weapons.

Once word spreads that Obama has begun detaining Americans for exercising their free speech, Obama will widen the martial law and try to halt the elections, claiming that a national emergency was breaking and that the elections would have to wait for a month or two for the situation to settle down.

Once Obama tries to delay the elections, people across the country will rise up in the streets to prove that there is no national emergency, and that Obama is trying to foment a coup by preventing a losing election from occuring.

It would make a great TNT movie.

I rather doubt that general martial law (at this point in history) is even feasible anymore in the USA.

Bingo. No doubt lil bambi fantasizes about it each day, but it just is not going to happen.

Wrong links. I asked for the links where the Dems asked Clinton to stay on a year while Bush v. Gore was sorted out.

Yes, a banking crisis is pretty much the only thing that could bring our entire country to its knees. If that happened, then absolutely we would see martial law and most Americans would be grateful for it.

not necessarily; he'll just play, "The Candy Can" and promise to cancel all student/house loans by playing

And the same stuff spouted right here on FR about Bill Clinton in ‘99 and ‘00. According to those geniuses, Clinton is still in office.

Any President declaring martial law has to be certain he has the COMPLETE backing of the military.

True, but WHICH military are we talking about? The standing Constitutional armed forces, or the civilian Obama Volkssturm hinted at during the 2008 campaign, and having its foundations laid in the NDAA and the Executive Order of 16 March?

The legal framework for the genesis of Obama's private army is in place by both executive fiat and the vote of a compliant Congress.

Civil disorder would be the trigger, whether caused by economic collapse, or by the command to the troops to "Get Whitey!" The 1977 New York blackout saw looting and mayhem. The 1992 LA riots started because of perceived racism. Katrina in 2005 saw anarchy in the aftermath of the storm. Two events are coming up fast: the RNC Convention in Tampa; and the outcome of the Zimmerman trial.

This regime has demonstrated that there is nothing they are unwilling to do.

LOL. I know. There’s so much crap “out there.” And in this day and age, they sound eerily plausible.


You know “they” have a timeline and have been planning
situations for a long time........
I honestly think they throw out false stories just to scare us and make us think we can’t win against them.
Go back and look up all the scary stories from 2008 on and see what I mean......
they are in league with the devil and major control freaks...

He will fake his own kidnapping a week or so before the election. That would bring the nation to a standstill. Elections would not happen because we would be facing a national crisis. Conservatives and liberals alike would be crying, and whining on national TV Americans would have no idea whether he is alive or dead! Dumbass Biden would have to be left out of the loop so you can bet he will be out saying some crazy stuff.
A few days into the crisis we will read demands from alleged right wing extremists. That would be followed shortly with phony torture video produced by George Looney and Sarah Jessica Porker from Hollywood. Obama might sacrifice a tooth or two, and maybe even a finger so that they can be displayed on national TV. After six months or so of this Obama somehow manages to escape his captors and turns up on a empty beach, that just happens to have a man with a camera. Holder's investigation leads to a raid where all the alleged kidnappers are killed. Documents show they were not able to crack Obama through torture and were thus not able to sell national secrets to Israeli terrorist groups. Obama is hailed as a hero and rewarded with a liftetime appointment as president.

You heard it here first, and while I had some fun with the idea, it might not be that far fetched.

I would not put anything past Dumbo.

Obama has used the US Military illegally to overthrow a legal government and to put radical Muslims in power in Libya.

Obama has used the influence of the US and given $$ to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to overthrow a legal government. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and Obama has a Muslim Brotherhood adviser in the White House.

Obama has withdrawn US troops from Iraq essentially giving the country to Muslim Terrorists.

Obama and his Muslim terrorist buddies have essentially the same plans for Syria.

Obama has done nothing about the nuclear threat in Iran.

So just who is the dummy? You don't even have a clue what our first Muslim terrorist President is doing and why he's doing it and who he's working for and with.

At this point in time, I pity any law officials that would have to enforce Martial Law. Can you imagine trying to enforce that on just the streets of Chicago ? Would take thousands of armor glad troops. They called out armor glad Camp Pendleton Marines for Los Angeles. And that was a minor riot compared to what could break out now. Imagine all those gang bangers aligned with a few hundred thousand gun owners ?

That us called a “false flag” operation and Americans are not stupid, they have contingency operations for such foolishness from the Freddy’s.

Remember, loose lips will sink ships on a public blog!

The man can't speak with out a teleprompter. Do you really think Dumbo thought all this up on his own? Not a chance, he's got Soros and company planning this all out for him.

Obama ain’t gonna do squat. He’s an idiot wanna-be dictator who forgot, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE GUNS FIRST, IDIOT!

Good luck with that.

I think that people in this thread are way overthinking this.

Govt has ordred 450 million rounds of ammo and 600 million survival food packs.

I think he's going to start a war so he can leach off the loyalty to the president during a time of war that we've got ingrained into us.

Anybody who doesn't agree with him will be arrested and incarcerated into camps for the duration.

He's built a small but effective army of bureaucrats including 16,500 IRS agents trained to kill, black panthers and other tools of the state.

he may not be able to use the military as the Posse Comittatus act, but he has hundreds of thousands of executive branch armed officers that he can use and is adding more all the time.

War is the great re-elector.

Even martial law has some law to it. Obama wouldn’t bother with that - he’ll just start issuing edicts as he sees fit, and we’ll never even know what they are because the net and the airwaves and cables and cell phones and land lines will all be commandeered pretty quick.
