    If they destroy the country there will be no one to fund all of their pie-in the-sky projects. Why would they want to leave and go into a cushy exile? TPTB are looking at the long-term, long after our leaders are gone their children and grandchildren will enjoy lives of wealth, power, influence and privilege...if not positions of leadership as well.

    Why ain't Hillery in jail? She & Bill would have too much company.

    The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate,[1] arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission. The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors. Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position. Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.

    Bill?

    Folks tend to give themselves far too much credit. It won't just be "the police", it will be the military also, and they will be fighting "terrorists", not American Citizens. Your enemy will be every person out there who still believes in the lie, they will turn you in no problem -even family. Just when you think you've got the moral high ground, they will just blow up a school or a church to build more resentment, blame it on you. Think IRA, not China or Vietnam. The IRA only had a chance when they held onto their ties to the communities they belonged to. Once they were demonized, that all went away, and quickly. They've planned for every plausible eventuality. War games have been going on long enough, coordinated drills have been run at every level, stockpiles of assets acquired, hardened bunkers and underground cities ready to go. They have people in every criminal circuit and the capacity to embed themselves wherever they need to, be it black market oriented or militia. The snake has many heads, not one. And after it all, you just become a martyr at best. I'm not liking those odds.
    The People are so divided and seriously deluded, that there's so little chance for them to organize, communicate, and strategize. As I said before, the whole "war on terrorism" is a thinly veiled disguise for the war on dissent domestically.

    hell - they are getting ready to go to war with the US and most of SE Asia over the South China Sea reefs & shoals - and they barely have much of a claim to hang a fish net on >>> everyone either dies or goes to work camps before Hong Kong goes free ...

    Therein lays the rub. The sheep have been stirred and stampeded so often and so far that even if the opportunity arose, the distrust would prevent coordination, at least not in the short haul, and especially not in urban areas. I have to admire the hongkongers that seem to be organizing and planning on the fly. Note that Hong Kong is urban as all get out, it is NOT obvious how they are hanging in.

    I'm glad you mentioned this. A person I like to keep track of tells about his own family (Chinese and HK Chinese and American) who are strongly divided because of the China/HK struggle. I mean, it's to the point where they literally hate each other (most of the hate is coming from the China side, not surprisingly) and the Chinese Communist Party is so fervently supported, the believers would rather DIE than to betray China. That's how they see Hong Kong, they actually believe that fighting for liberty and freedom is betraying China, the Motherland and the Party.
    We're not too far from this type of radicalism in America, either. It might be a bit of a leap, but do away with the two party system and make it a single party and we're China. Remember that the next time somebody mentions "Bipartisanship".

    I agree with you, it makes no sense, but it is obvious they want to bring the house down. I did read an interesting observation where the TPTB wish to bring down the USA, since it is used up and too powerful, and replace it as the frontrunner with China which is a much easier environment to work in...

    Resurrecting this thread for consideration. I think are closer to seeing mass martial law in the US than at any time in my life and it's time to discuss realities.

    I have serious doubts that martial law will be instituted, either locally or nationally (possibly excepting large city rioting.) Enforcing the war powers act provisions with other than reasonable people behaving rationally will be EZ on law enforcement. There will be exceptions that can't see the utility of following directions. As long as the provisions are NOT extended past the short term needs of the crisis, things should be smooth. If the provisions are extended past the need, well, rebellion is not off the table.

    It will creep up on us. Nevada's Governor has closed the strip for 30 days. And this weekend they are limiting traffic. This means check points and only allowing XX amount of cars per hour on certain streets and freeways. Not martial law but curtailing freedom to travel.

    Always have alternate routes of travel using side-streets and secondary roads. Also have PAPER maps.

    Mandated Bar and Restaurant closures, secure in place orders, limited travel restrictions, I am waiting for the first "Run" on a grocery, big box store or bank. We are being slow walked into Martial Law so that when it comes, most people will welcome it and will have prepared.

    Incrementalism, boys and girls. They're dipping toes in the water, prohibiting large gatherings, closing businesses...
