There is nothing more dangerous than a desperate, well armed government.
Martial Law under a government with bad intentions can have devastating consequences. Your very survival could depend on your ability to avoid Martial Law affected communities at all cost!
What is Martial Law
The Legal Dictionarly from thefreedictionary.com describes Martial Law as follows: "The exercise of government and control by military authorities over the civilian population of a designated territory. Martial law is an extreme and rare measure used to control society during war or periods of civil unrest or chaos. Accordingto the Supreme Court, the term martial law carries no precise meaning (Duncan v. Kahanamoku, 327 U.S. 304, 66 S. Ct.606, 90 L. Ed. 688 [1946]). However, most declarations of martial law have some common features. Generally, the institutionof martial law contemplates some use of military force. To a varying extent, depending on the martial law order, governmentmilitary personnel have the authority to make and enforce civil and criminal laws. Certain civil liberties may be suspended,such as the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, freedom of association, and freedom of movement. Andthe writ of Habeas Corpus may be suspended (this writ allows persons who are unlawfully imprisoned to gain freedom through a court proceeding). In the United States, martial law has been instituted on the national level only once, during the Civil War, and on a regionallevel only once, during World War II. Otherwise, it has been limited to the states. Uprisings, political protests, labor strikes, and riots have, at various times, caused several state governors to declare some measure of martial law." Why Our Government would Declare Martial Law The United States is in trouble. Not only is our economy in much worse shape than our government and mainstream media make it seem, we are coming ever closer to World War 3 (with Russia, China or both), civil war (liberals vs. conservatives), race war, even revolution, as well as being under assault by radical Islam. Unfortunately, even though the majority of Americans have no idea of the mutiple dangers we are currently facing, but you can bet our government does. Our government has been preparing for these scenerios for years. In 2015 the US held the largest domestic military excercises in our nations history. Reports from eyewittnesses all over America confirmed that these military excercises were atually police action drills. Eyewittnesses and video footage make it clear that our soldiers were practicing extracting dissidents, putting down protestors and tranporting prisoners. And in case you haven't been paying attention, the DHS is already stockpiling enough hollow-point bullets (illegal for war via International law) to theoretically put 5 rounds in every man, woman and child in America. And if you're still not convinced our government has evil intention, there are a minimum of 800 primary FEMA camps and thousands of smaller FEMA detention facilities all across the US. These FEMA facilities resemble concentration camps more than prison camps, and not at all like disaster relief camps. After all, you don't need razor wire to house people feeing disaster, that I know of. Make no mistake, these camps are real, mapped, documented, even admitted to by government officials. Naturally, our government and their mainstream media mouthpieces have been doing their best to keep these concerns from the general public. Thanks to the Internet and social media, many Americans have awakened to the the truth. For example, when I first started my formerly popular Conspiracy Watch Facebook page, there were a few similar pages, but by the time Facebook unpublished the page in June of 2014, supposedly for violating their Community Guidelines, Conspiracy Watch had over 4.2 million followers. Today there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of conspiracy, patriot or resitance Facebook pages about this kind of stuff. Each page has a few followers while many even have over a million fans. With so many threats, theories about America's collapse, the U.S. government is likely to take extreme steps in a last ditch effort to hold on to power, quite possibly even before all Hell breaks loose across the land.
What Martial Law Will be Like in the U.S.
A curfew before dark will be ordered. The reasons are obvious: When the military is plicing an area, they want to ask as few questions as possible when they see people outside, and this will be even worse with onset of darkness. Further, when the military is in charge fun will be less paramount. In other words, the government and soldiers won't want to deal with people out after dark. Rations Did You Know That The U.S. No Longer Has Any Strategic Grain Reserves? A while back I wrote an article about how our government robbed us of our grain reserves, now I run across the ABC News article, "Surplus U.S. food supplies dry up." According to ABC and verified with, various other sources, there are no longer any The U.S. strategic grain reserves. Created during the days of the Great Depression, these grain reserves reflected the wisdom of storing up food for hard times. Unfortunately, over time interest in this program faded, and at this point there is no strategic grain reserve in the United States, period. In other words, when the day comes that major crop failures or severe drought hits America, there will be no food to give to the poor. The military just might end up in charge of rationing out food and supplies, if needed in the area, during a period of Martial Law. Military Tribunals Don't expect due process, a jury of your peers or competent defense counsel for a trial during this type of situation. A trial? In a way. During a Martial Law period members of the military (a military commission ) would meet to sentence lawbreakers. This could take some time, but often happens swiftly, sometimes even too swiftly. You can expect much harsher penalties for lawbreaking. If your offense could in even a minor way be tied to protesting, rioting or worse, terrorism, you could end up facing a firing squad! During such violent times the military probably give suspected lawbreakers only one warning shot before shooting to kill. Security Note that during Martial Law, travel beyond places of employment, would be severely restricted (most likely only with a valid permit). Detention Camps Detention camps will surely be implimented if things get ugly. The National Defense Authorization Acts, aka NDAA, allows for the arrest and indefinate detention of any citizen or non-citizen i the U.S. without charges or due process. Note the word "indefinate"! There are currently well over 800 FEMA owned and operated prison camps strategically scattered across the United States. To be honest with you, they look more like "concentration camps", but that's just my opinion. Each one is said to house one to several thousand prisoners. There are literally also many more temporary detention centers, for recieving and transporting prisoners throughout the U.S. These facilities are usually closed down schools, auditoriums and Walmarts. All of the above though often still viewed as conspiracy theory, is well documented, and I urge you to research any questions you may have about the FEMA camps. The bottom line is, do whatever it takes to stay out of the FEMA camps, because it is unlikely that you will ever see your loved ones again and there will be a good chance that you will ever make it out of one of these camps alive.
Escaping Martial Law
Many of the people actually preparing (preppers) for Martial Law appear to be primarily concerned over widespread food, water and fuel shortages, as well as disruption of our power grid. Granted, these are legitimate concerns, as the current economic collape of Venezuela is reminding us, yet these are all issues that typically don't occur until Martial Law has already destroyed the general population's will to resist. Small-scale disasters should probably be spent at home. I suggest you hunker down at home for tornadoes and other small-scale disasters that don't warrant Martial Law. At home we have the advantage of home turf. Besides, most of us aren’t physically or menatlly fit enough to survive bugging out long term in the wilderness. However, if the stock or currency market crash, we are attacked by Russia or China or a large-scale disaster occurs and it looks like martial law is eminent, you better get out of town fast! The only sure way to survive Martial Law is to avoid it altogether. Unless you are militia connected, trained and ready to fight, even if you are a patriot, you better be prepared to flee! The only possibility of flight will be before and in the early hours of Martial Law. If you wait too long, you will encounter road blocks, random searches, maybe even round ups of people they believe to be fleeing theur juristiction. You could end up in a FEMA "Reeducation Camp" or find yourself forcebly enlisted for military duty as canon fodder. After the SHTF, do NOT wait, hesitate or procrastinate, get the hell out of there. Prepare and Stay Ready to Bug Out at a Moment's Notice
Surviving Martial Law
If you can’t escape martial law, then you’ll need to survive it. You will need weapons to protect yourself from the widespread violnce that could occur, but guns aren't going to help you while you're caught up in Martial Law. Don't for o0ne minute think you your guns are going to stop the tanks rolling down the street, or the guns of the US Marines breaking down your door. If you use your gun, you will most likely be killed on the spot, or you will be interogated and tortured for information on all the "other" resisters. There are three main skills you need to survive martial law: Ability to Blend In If you get noticed, you are going to become a target, so blend in. Do what everyone else is does, keep your head down until an opportunity opens up for you to escape. Access to Information Dictatorships routinely withhold information from their citizens as a way of exerting control over them. To make sure you stay get real news, you’ll need a survival radio. You may want to get a HAM radio so you can communicate with people about the situation. If power is out or fuel is hard to get, you'll want a radio with a crank-operated option. Self-Sustainability. Under Martial Law, the military can take control of anything and everything – including food and water sources. Once dependent on the government for food and water, you will be one step closer to being a puppet of the system. No matter how tough you think you are, you will submit to the system when you are dying of hunger and thirst! You must become self-sufficient. Learn to source your own water and grow your own food.
