Looks like the powers that be are well ware of this...and by doing nothing in regards to border security are complicit.

HR 1585 Authorizes Plans For Martial Law

HR 1585 which is the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill is an evil piece of legislation that actually gives authorization to the U.S. military to plan a future merger with the police that will be used during a catastrophic emergency. This bill authorizes the Department of Defense to design a plan for a martial law apparatus. There is no question that the U.S. government is seeking to ratchet up the militarized police state as they anticipate massive resistance to the coming collapse of our economy and war with Iran. This bill is yet another step in the direction for the implementation of a militarized police state in this country.

It gets better.

Section 1622 of the bill establishes a Council of Governors that will advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the White House on how they intend to integrate the National Guard into this martial law apparatus. The section is shown below.

SEC. 1622. COUNCIL OF GOVERNORS.

The President shall establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions.

The bottom line is that this bill authorizes the U.S. military to plan the integration of the military with civil authorities so they have a full fledged martial law apparatus to use in the event of any sort of catastrophic national emergency. The information in this bill lines up with what was described in the Vision 2020 document which is a document released by USNORTHCOM which describes the goal of a future North American martial law apparatus. It also lines up with NSPD-51/HSPD-20 which gives the President authoritarian powers during a catastrophic emergency. One thing is for sure, these people would not be wasting their time putting this stuff down on paper unless they have plans to use it.

Looks like the POB are stirring the pot domestically...by sitting on their hands... so they can finally get Marshall law implemented.

I agree with you. I wonder why other posters are ignoring that. The Government isn’t going to be a friend of the average legal citizen if a war does start.

"The President shall establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions."

It sounds lawful to me. The military has been active duty many times in States, by a State Governor's request. Think floods, riots, wildfires, earthquakes.

Martial Law means we temporarily revert back to the original Constitution. If there is subversion by a foreign enemy within, WE will form local militias to assist AD military and civil police. It won't take long to fix that problem and a few others.
