I’m wondering if I am on that list.<\/p>\n

My guess would be that if martial law were to be declared, it would be in mid to late November, following a Democratic victory,*<\/sup> because it would be to cover up their own wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

Christopher Ketcham of Radar Magazine makes the case that the US government has a list of 8 million people that they will detain without process<\/a> if martial law is declared. That’s just under 3% of the population.<\/p>\n

He makes a convincing case that the entire scene with Ashcroft in the hospital<\/a> being browbeaten to sign a document was in fact a surveillance program connected to a, “so-called Continuity of Government (COG) programs”, centered in FEMA<\/span>\u2021<\/sup>, where it evades the oversight done on what is normally considered the state security apparatus (FBI, CIA, other TLAs, etc.).<\/p>\n

I’m not sure which is more depressing to me, the fact that this might be the plan of Bush and His Evil Minions\u2122<\/sup>, or the fact that I have so little faith in those career bureaucrats in the US state security apparatus to obey their vows to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.<\/p>\n

*<\/sup>And let’s be clear….At this point, that means Barack Obama. Even if all of FL and MI are seated. Unless he is caught with a live boy or a dead girl, he’s the nominee.\u2020<\/sup>
\u2020<\/sup>Not my preferred outcome, but I wanted Howard Dean in 2004 and Bill Bradley in 2000, so I’m used to it.
\u2021<\/sup>That’s right, the folks who f%$#ed up Katrina are responsible for the continued existence of a law based Democracy in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
