Get ready, folks. The tidal wave of domestic problems is just offshore.

Eight states have motioned to declare sovereignty during the past week. Strange the news isn't covering this topic, whether these States have any chance or not. But past trends form future events, so...

That stuff is pretty awesome. Are you gonna change the name? "The (Mostly) United States".

what i mean is that, you aren't bothered by it.
I'm 27. I've had plenty of time to figure out that trying to fit in is a) a futile undertaking because way too many of my convictions and intuitions aren't mainline and b) doesn't make me feel happy anyway.

I'd rather find community among the few than phony belonging among the masses.

Not sure. But what I do know is this push has to do with government implementing martial law policy that will make it easier to declare it, thus why in some states they are trying to pass bills to keep local and state agencies within their own control if some event happens.

We shall see what happens, but this is the sign of the times.

Martial law, that's interesting. We used to think that was kinda outrageous under communism, but what do I know.

After the Patriot Act was passed, martial law can be declared so easily it's scary. Now with our own troops being brought back to train for domestic matters, including helping local police patrol streets (illegal by Posse Comitatus), there are concerns over where is this going. Then with the House passing acts to allow camps to be built on military bases, people are rightfully starting to question what the f@#$! is going on here.

Sounds like Berlu got you going. Soldiers sometimes patrol the streets in Italy and with the recent crime waves Berlu has been saying they should do more of it. Must be really nice and cozy, not just to have armed cops around your neighborhood now also soldiers in all their gear, armed to the teeth. Really sounds like a great place to live.

It's not happened very much yet, but it does seem to be going that way. 30 or so thousand troops are coming back here for those stated purposes, so with past events forming future trends, one can see where this is going.

Martial law was already threatened by the Secretary of the Treasury to pass the first bail out bill, claiming to the House and Senate that if the bill was not passed, the stock market would lose 3,000 points and troops would have to be deployed. We're talking about some serious stuff here.

Could be a nice thing for all the people who "supported the troops". Get to see what it's like to live in a war zone with troops and checkpoints. Those people in Gaza just have all the fun.

God forbid it will come to that, but if the economy does get as bad as predicted, people will be rioting in the streets, and there's your smoking gun for martial law.
