Martial Law Attempt In Louisiana Echoes Ron Paul's Warning

Is this how it begins? You bet it is!



On December 18, presidential candidate Ron Paul warned that the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed recently by the House and now under consideration in the Senate will be used by the government to implement martial law. The bill would allow the military to detain Americans and prevent them from exercising their right to due process under the Sixth Amendment.

It's almost a futile attempt to get anyone to understand, or connect the dots of what's happening in this country. Every time someone does, they're "crazy" or "conspiracy theorists." Unfortunately, whether they wish to believe it or not, the ramifications of our complacency will be felt soon.

*Edit - I don't feel that Ron Paul is the answer, nor is any other politician or party. Ron Paul, if elected, would be the same as any other politician, a corporate puppet. I believe the system needs to be scrapped, and a pure democracy installed.

I have been telling everyone this for two years but no one will listen until they are boarded on the trains heading to a Fema Camp by the sector.

Well it is pretty bad in some areas there.

Why do you care? You're in Canada. Worry about your ruling monarchy.

I wonder if Gamma covers relocation :helpme

Edit: Well I saw the video and since I am not out shooting ppl etc., I may be ok for now if they don't.
I was born in New Orleans and spent only a few years there as a young child in the early 80's. I what how the old neighborhood is like now.

Switzerland made Louisiana

The National Guard...as well as active duty military...has been called in many...many times in U.S. history...to assist law enforcement...nothing new about it.

The Posse Comitatus Act is the United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) that was passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction. Its intent (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) was to limit the powers of local governments and law enforcement agencies from using federal military personnel to enforce the laws of the land.

Exclusions and limitations

There are a number of situations in which the Act does not apply. These include:
National Guard units and State Defense Forces while under the authority of the governor of a state;

I just skimmed over the entire thread and I don't see where I said governors of a state don't have authority to use national guard units. Maybe you could point it out for me.

The New Orleans Police Department are Standup, Top Notch Bros.

This guy is full of shit. New Orleans has always been pretty dangerous and held the "murder capital u.s.a." title for many years. When I was there in the 90's tourists were being shot in the head in the French Quarter and workers were getting executed (see Louisiana Pizza Kitchen murders) so locals took to the streets to "demand the head" of then Mayor Marc Morial because of his negligence in attending to the violence problem, so this guy's idea that violence is spiraling out of control NOW is really just an excuse to get more govt funding to keep the "undesirables" out of sight, which is funny coming from a corrupt local govt. like New Orleans. Corrupt ass cops and corrupt ass politicians.

Most of the violence in the city has come out of the projects, which illustrates again and again the disparity between the haves and have nots, and in many cases the whites v. the blacks.

pfft like we follow the laws here

martial law is just another one to break ;)

Maybe the first step the city should take is to get a new police chief. new officers and start giving them competitive pay. They get paid shit compared and are as corrupt as the government.

The US government has always have the ability to declare martial law - and much much worse.

No one likes the idea of martial law, but how else can you control these animals?

In other news, Brooke Baldwin is hot.

Ditto.

If anyone doubts it...

Cops Ready for War

Nestled amid plains so flat the locals joke you can watch your dog run away for miles, Fargo treasures its placid lifestyle, seldom pierced by the mayhem and violence common in other urban communities. North Dakota?s largest city has averaged fewer than two homicides a year since 2005, and there?s not been a single international terrorism prosecution in the last decade.

But that hasn?t stopped authorities in Fargo and its surrounding county from going on an $8 million buying spree to arm police officers with the sort of gear once reserved only for soldiers fighting foreign wars.

Every city squad car is equipped today with a military-style assault rifle, and officers can don Kevlar helmets able to withstand incoming fire from battlefield-grade ammunition. And for that epic confrontation?if it ever occurs?officers can now summon a new $256,643 armored truck, complete with a rotating turret. For now, though, the menacing truck is used mostly for training and appearances at the annual city picnic, where it?s been parked near the children?s bounce house.

?Most people are so fascinated by it, because nothing happens here,? says Carol Archbold, a Fargo resident and criminal justice professor at North Dakota State University. ?There?s no terrorism here.?

Like Fargo, thousands of other local police departments nationwide have been amassing stockpiles of military-style equipment in the name of homeland security, aided by more than $34 billion in federal grants since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a Daily Beast investigation conducted by the Center for Investigative Reporting has found.

The buying spree has transformed local police departments into small, army-like forces, and put intimidating equipment into the hands of civilian officers. And that is raising questions about whether the strategy has gone too far, creating a culture and capability that jeopardizes public safety and civil rights while creating an expensive false sense of security.

?The argument for up-armoring is always based on the least likely of terrorist scenarios,? says Mark Randol, a former terrorism expert at the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress. ?Anyone can get a gun and shoot up stuff. No amount of SWAT equipment can stop that.?

lol, you say that like it's okay.

It's like when someone points out that Obama is abusing the executive order power, people say "Ah so what, presidents before him did it too," as if that justifies it.

OK or not...justified or not...it is nothing new in the history of the U.S...simply an ongoing fact..which will continue to be ongoing.
