What Can We Expect From Martial Law?

Although I previously wrote an article about potential scenarios that Christians could relate to if we ever found ourselves in a state of Martial Law.  I'd like to take a more secular view on Martial Law to show that it would not just affect the born again believer in Christ (even though it will curtail our worship).  Let me begin once again by briefly defining what Martial Law is.

Typically, the imposition of Martial Law accompanies curfews, the suspension of civil law, civil rights, habeas corpus, and the application or extension of military law or military justice to civilians. In other words, say goodbye to the United States as you've known it and embrace an extremely altered future.

So, what exactly does that mean? Well, it means that every aspect of life as we know it here in the United States would be under the control of the government.  That doesn't sound too bad, until you begin dissecting what that entails.

Mandatory curfews

• In the case of extreme emergency, no one would be allowed on the streets at all 24/7. 
• As things improved, citizens would be ordered to be in their home by a certain time and not allowed out again until the curfew was lifted. In this instance, curfew would probably be from sunset to sunrise, ensuring that no one would be out on the streets during nighttime hours.

Transportation curtailed (shipping, aviation, ground transport, railways, etc…)  Note: Executive Order 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.  Executive Order 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

• Only military and government personnel allowed on highways.
• All airlines and other aviation traffic will be grounded.
• Military checkpoints will be set up, restricting transportation to local areas only.
• Transportation of goods nationwide will be curtailed. All goods will be obtained through government run distribution centers. These goods include: medical supplies, prescriptions, food, clothing, fuel, cigarettes  liquor, water, baby formula, diapers/incontinence items, pain reliever, personal hygiene items, pet food, etc…
• Railroads will be drafted for use by the government for the transportation of supplies and weapons.

Communications monitored

• Landlines and cell phones
• All forms of online communication

Control of all media  Note: Executive Order 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

• Television and radio stations will be controlled by the government and will only be allowed to transmit government approved messages and news (expect quite a bit of propaganda).  
• The same will hold true for printed media.

Suspension of civil law, civil rights, habeas corpus, and will replace this with military law or military justice.

• The Constitution will no longer be valid.
• All laws will be based on military law.
• Civil rights will no longer be applicable.
• Habeas corpus will be nonexistent.
• They can arrest you for whatever reason they want.
• They can imprison you without charging you with a crime.
• They can imprison you indefinitely (10, 20, 50 years).
• They are not obligated to provide you with a lawyer.
• You are never guaranteed to see a judge or to enter a courtroom during your entire incarceration.
• No hesitation… If you're out on the street during curfew or if you're deemed a threat for any reason, you can be shot without warning.  It doesn't matter if you're elderly, pregnant or a child.  If you think that can't happen, click here.
• Your home may be searched for any reason and at any time without a warrant.
• Eventually, you will not be allowed to grow your own food (even in a backyard garden) or to raise your own livestock for food.

Identification  Note: Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

• As Martial Law becomes the norm, everyone will be ordered to obtain a national identification card.
• You will be required to produce the proper identification upon request by any peace officer, US military personnel, UN peacekeeping forces and DHS/TSA personnel.

Relocation  Note: Executive Order 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations.

• Individuals in rural areas of the community will be relocated to a more densely populated area or to a FEMA camp for their own “safety.”
• Individuals resisting Martial Law will be sent to a FEMA camp for “re-education.”
• Christians, who will refuse to sin against the Lord, and will have to disobey orders that would cause emotional or physical harm to others
• Patriots, who will defend the now defunct Constitution.

Slave to the System  Note: Executive Order 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

• Those who have been receiving assistance from the government through food stamps, welfare, etc.. will be required to work for the system in order to continue receiving this assistance. 
• Those who have become unemployed due to travel restrictions will also be required to work for the government.
• Refuse collection and roadside cleanup
• Rebuilding and repairing roads
• Volunteering as clerks at government distribution centers
• Participate in community beautifying programs
• Work in menial government support positions
• Planting, maintaining and harvesting GMO crops

Where's My Money!  Note: Executive Order 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency.

• Bank accounts will be seized
• Employee pay rates will be regulated
• The flow of money, including all credit, will be controlled

Resources  Note: Executive Order 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

• Rolling blackouts will become the norm.
• Those showing any resistance will have their resources discontinued (water, electricity, gas, propane, cable/satellite television).

Health and Education  Note: Executive Order 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education, and welfare functions.

• Medical and dental care will be rationed.
• Those needing psychiatric care will be sent to a facility for their "personal safety."
• Schools will managed directly by the government. They will will receive instructions and government approved materials to be taught to students from K-College levels.

Redistricting and Elections

• Eventually, counties, regions and states will be redistricted as Martial Law maintains its grip on the nation. The country will be broken up into large regions instead of individual states. This will void individual state sovereignty and consolidate resources.
• Elections will become a thing of the past. The president will work closely with his advisers to seek representatives who he can trust to enforce his decrees.  Those individuals will be placed in the seats of power in each region.

These are just a few examples of what awaits us when our economy implodes or if the US is hit with a huge false flag event (possibly something that affects major areas of the nation).  It could only be a few weeks or a few months away.  How much of what I described will we have to endure before the Lord returns?  We just don't know.  Martial law doesn't even compare to what’s ahead for those who will go through the seven-year Tribulation. It’s just the beginning of a world system that will affect everyone living on the planet, believers and nonbelievers alike.

During the Tribulation, there will be only one hope, and that hope is Jesus Christ.  It's the hope of salvation through the blood of Jesus, a hope sealed by the Holy Spirit, a hope to be realized by our physical death or by the glorious appearance of Jesus Christ at the end of the Tribulation. As we watch the signs of the times, prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Prepare for martial law, but hope that the Rapture precedes it.

God bless and may the peace that passes all understanding fill your heart as we wait for the return of the Bridegroom!

I Am A Witness To History

“I am a witness to history.

“I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history.

If you remember the plot of the Sound of ...Music, the Von Trapp family escaped over the Alps rather than submit to the Nazis. Kitty wasn't so lucky. Her family chose to stay in her native Austria. She was 10 years old, but bright and aware. And she was watching.

“We elected him by a landslide – 98 percent of the vote,” she recalls.

She wasn't old enough to vote in 1938 – approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers.

“Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.”

No so.  Hitler is welcomed to Austria

“In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25 percent inflation and 25 percent bank loan interest rates."

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn't want to work; there simply weren't any jobs.

“My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about 30 daily.’

“We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933.” she recalls. “We had been told that they didn't have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living.

“Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group – Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone in Germany was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back.

“Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

“We were overjoyed,” remembers Kitty, “and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.

“After the election, German officials were appointed, and, like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.

“Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn't support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.

“Then we lost religious education for kids.

“Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler’s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn't pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang ‘Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles,’ and had physical education.

“Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail.”

And then things got worse.

“The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free.

“We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

“My mother was very unhappy,” remembers Kitty. “When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn't do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun – no sports, and no political indoctrination.

“I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing.

“Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time, unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler.

“It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn't exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.

“In 1939, the war started, and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn't work, you didn't get a ration card, and, if you didn't have a card, you starved to death.

“Women who stayed home to raise their families didn't have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.

“Soon after this, the draft was implemented.

“It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps,” remembers Kitty. “During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys.

“They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines.

“When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat.

“Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.

“When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers.

“You could take your children ages four weeks old to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, seven days a week, under the total care of the government.

“The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.

“Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna..

“After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything.

“When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full.

“If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

“As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80 percent of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families.

“All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

“We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables.

“Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn't meet all the demands.

“Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.

“We had consumer protection, too

“We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the livestock, and then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

“In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated.

“So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work.

“I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van.

“I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months.

“They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

“As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.

“Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law-abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

“No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

“Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.”

“This is my eyewitness account.

“It’s true. Those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.

“America is truly is the greatest country in the world. “Don’t let freedom slip away.

“After America, there is no place to go.”

Kitty Werthmann

It’s time to open your eyes to what is happening in America today!

That ends the article that I copied and pasted into this blog.  Now for a few additional comments from me.

Slowly, our individual rights are slipping away.  Presidents past and present have signed one executive order after another, slowly diluting our constitutional rights to the point where those rights are now open for reinterpretation by those who would destroy the very words that this country was founded upon.

We need to learn from the past before it's too late.

The past:  Hitler promised to fix everything.  “We elected him by a landslide – 98 percent of the vote,” she recalls.

The present: Obama promises to fix everything.  November 2008 - Headline: "Obama wins election in landslide to become first black president."

The past: “No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

The present: August 23, 2012 - Headline: "Judge orders Raub released – former Marine wrongfully detained."

Excerpt: “Brandon Raub was arrested with no warning, targeted for doing nothing more than speaking out against the government, detained against his will, and isolated from his family, friends and attorneys. These are the kinds of things that take place in totalitarian societies.”

The past: “We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables.  Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn't meet all the demands.  Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control."

The present: October 31, 2011 - Headline: "Business Roundtable: Regulations Are Killing Business"

The past: "Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing."

The present:  August 8, 2012 - Headline: "Over 100 Million Now Receiving Federal Welfare" (That's one-third of the population; does not include Social Security or Medicare).

The past:  “During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys.  They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps."

The present:  May 14, 2009 - Headline: "Boy Scouts Train to Become Homeland Gestapo"

Excerpt:  "Gestapo Scouts will be required to combat 'rightwing extremists' who will refuse to turn in their firearms after the next false flag terror attack or engineered pandemic. SWAT Scouts will be called to deal with those who refuse to participate in mandatory vaccinations. Police state Scouts will be the vanguard for Obama’s million-man Civilian National Security Corps. 'just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded' as the military."

The past: “Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law-abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

The present: January 26, 2013 - Headline: “The Resistance Begins: New York Gun Owners Refuse to Register”

Excerpt: “With emotions running high in the aftermath of the Newtown Sandy Hook shooting, politicians on the State and Federal level have begun introducing legislative actions to curtail access to firearms protected by the Second Amendment. In Missouri, parents may soon be forced to register firearms with their child’s school under threat of criminal penalties. In Massachusetts, another proposal would require storage of semi-automatic rifles at government approved storage depots. And, in the State of New York, congressional representatives have already passed legislation that requires registration of every semi-automatic rifle and reduces maximum magazine capacity to 7 rounds of ammunition, and Governor Cuomo has floated the idea of gun confiscation.”

Goal: Get the population dependent on the government while stripping them of their individual rights.  The dependent populace will voluntarily give up some of their rights for safety, "human rights," political correctness, and for their basic needs (food, shelter, clothing, medical attention, medication, etc...).  By the time the populace realizes how much of their individual rights they have lost, it will be too late.  The state will gain control through marshal law and anyone who defies the state will be neutralized.

False Flags Leading to Disarmament and Dictatorship

The Aurora and Wisconson shootings are just the beginning of the process that is occuring in this country.  The closer the election gets, the more frequent these false flag attacks will become until there is an outcry for gun control or total disarmament of US citizens.  This is a dangerous way of thinking. 

Think about it:

• First we start with the false flag/staged shootings.
• Then comes an outcry to disarm all US citizens and a call for voluntary disarming is made. 
• It works, to some extent, but millions of people in the US own weapons and most will refuse to give them up. 
• The government then decides to use force to confiscate these weapons.
• This leads to a shooting/civil war. 
• Since many police personnel and military personnel will refuse to disarm their friends, family and community, the US will be forced to call in UN forces (as per Article 15 of the UN Arms Trade Treaty) to help disarm the nation.
• Once the US population is disarmed, the president will put all US troops under the command of the UN and at the same time give up our sovereignty to the UN.
• At that time, the UN will divide the US into ten FEMA regions each of which will have many FEMA camps to be used to “re-educate” the populace. 

To those born-again believers in Christ who are reading this, you understand why this is happening.  To those who are not born-again, this is only the beginning of the end of this nation.  There are groups of powerful people in this world who have been planning a one world government for the past few hundred years.  They have been very patient and it seems as if the time has come to make their final few moves. 

I want to caution you; there will be more government sponsored shootings as the election gets closer.  What does the election have to do with this?  If the president calls for marshal law, the Constitution is automatically suspended and you can expect the election to be postponed indefinately.  Why would the president call for marshal law?  Well, because he’s not going to give up the presidency.  If he thinks he’s going to lose, he’ll create a false flag attack so serious (assassination attempt?) that he will call for marshal law and probably call for a total weapons ban.  The election will only take place if he thinks he can win.  If not, expect a false flag attack and marshal law before Nov 6th.  If he DOES win the election, then he doesn’t have to worry about running for the presidency again and he will lay the hammer down on this nation through the signing of a number of executive orders; Total gun ban.  National banking system.  Pulling back missile defences in Europe.  Putting the US forces under the authority of the UN.  Etc…  It’s going to be a mess. 

One way or the other, there will be a one world government and the US is going to be a part of that.  Think it can’t happen here?  Look at the great empires that ever existed.  What happened to them?  Why should we be any different?  Capitalism will fall when the dollar crashes and we spiral into an economic disaster.  When that happens: How will people eat?  Keep their utilities on?  Get their medications?  Travel?  Dispose of their waste?  Protect themselves from rioters and looters?

The government will come in riding on a white horse as the country’s “savior” to bring order to the country and provide it’s citizens with their basic needs.  In effect, the state will become god.

The United States isn’t mentioned in the bible for a reason.  Our troops aren’t going to be under US control during the end times.  Our country will fall and be ruled by a dictator who will eventually be under the control of the Antichrist. 

God has told us that this was going to happen; that the world was going to be ruled by the Antichrist, who will institute a one world government, a new economic system and a one world religion.

Call me crazy or a conspiracy theorist, I don’t care.  I’m awake.  I see what’s going on.  Are you awake or are you busy watching American Idol or Dancing with the Stars while all this is going on right under your nose?
