What Would Happen If Martial Law Was Declared in America?

In recent weeks, there has been a lot of concern that an upcoming eight week military exercise on U.S. soil known as “Jade Helm” is actually a dress rehearsal for the imposition of martial law in this country. One of the reasons for the high level of concern is that we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of “urban warfare exercises” conducted by the U.S. military in major U.S. cities over the past decade – including exercises where “dissidents” are hunted down, arrested and hauled away.  As our world becomes increasingly unstable, and as our society rapidly decays from within, many believe that it is only a matter of time before the executive branch will have sufficient excuse to use the extensive martial law powers that it has been accumulating since 9/11. When that day arrives, what will our nation look like? What would actually happen if martial law was declared in America?

Well, the first thing that you need to know is that the U.S. Constitution would be “suspended”.

In other words, you would suddenly have no rights at all.

I'm not real big on conspiracy theories, And I've always thought Alex Jones could  find a conspiracy in a box of Cheerios, but there is enough truth in this to make you think. We do know that Jade Helm is going to happen in 6 Southwestern states.

Documents show the FBI created a “Plan C” during the Cold War, which could have been triggered in the event the US underwent a nuclear attack. It included putting the nation under martial law, rounding up “subversives,” and interning enemy diplomats.

The documents, acquired by transparency journalism organization MuckRock, detail the FBI plan created in 1956, which was shared with several top officials from every governmental department. The FBI also distributed papers regarding the plan to its field offices. The plan would have gone into effect “after a war has begun in which the US is involved or may become involved and prior to an actual attack on the US itself,” according to the documents.

Under Plan C, martial law would be declared and the FBI would enact its ‘Emergency Detention Program,’ which entailed apprehending individuals whose affiliations with subversive organizations “are so pronounced that their continued liberty in the event of a national emergency would present a serious threat to the internal security of the country.” 

The document shows that as of April 1956, almost 13,000 people “were scheduled for apprehension in an emergency.”

The government has had plans for this kind of things for longer than a lot of us have been alive. That plan is stored somewhere, they never throw anything away. Ready to be dusted off at a monemts notice. Then there is the Executive Order Barry signed in 2012.

Sec. 201.  Priorities and Allocations Authorities.  (a)  The authority of the President conferred by section 101 of the Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 2071, to require acceptance and priority performance of contracts or orders (other than contracts of employment) to promote the national defense over performance of any other contracts or orders, and to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense, is delegated to the following agency heads:

(1)  the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to food resources, food resource facilities, livestock resources, veterinary resources, plant health resources, and the domestic distribution of farm equipment and commercial fertilizer; 

(2)  the Secretary of Energy with respect to all forms of energy; 

(3)  the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to health resources; 

(4)  the Secretary of Transportation with respect to all forms of civil transportation; 

(5)  the Secretary of Defense with respect to water resources; and 

(6)  the Secretary of Commerce with respect to all other materials, services, and facilities, including construction materials.

They can take control of everything that we take for granted.
