From Wikipedia:
Martial law is the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis—usually only temporary—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread. In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure government buildings of key or sensitive locations, and to maintain order. Generally, military personnel replace civil authorities and perform some or all of their functions. The constitution could be suspended, and in full-scale martial law, the highest ranking military General would take over, or be installed, as the military governor or as head of the government, thus removing all power from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal government.
Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public. Such incidents may occur after a coup d'état (Thailand 2006); when threatened by popular protest (China, Tiananmen Square protests of 1989); to suppress political opposition (Poland in 1981); to stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections (Canada, The October Crisis of 1970). Martial law may be declared in cases of major natural disasters, however most countries use a different legal construct, such as a "state of emergency".
Martial law has also been imposed during conflicts and in cases of occupations, where the absence of any other civil government provides for an unstable population. Examples of this form of military rule include post World War II reconstruction in Germany and Japan as well as the southern reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War.
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. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal (court-martial).Is this country on it's way to Martial Law? Most people think we are in a Police State now and only the next step needs to be made to go into full Martial Law. One thing is for sure we are getting our freedoms taken away at a crazy rate. Each week you read about more and more bullshit the not so great leaders of this country are going to push on us, it's not even"TRY TO PUSH" anymore because now they just by pass the law or get rid of any law that slows them down. The Patriot Act helps them to bend and remove any law that get in there way of Martial Law. If you think it can never happen here, then I feel sorry for you because it not only can happen but I'm about 99% sure it will happen here and soon.
Get yourself ready to survive with food, water and Guns, guns, guns and more guns with a lot of ammo!!! If you can't fight for your freedom who will? It's time to make a stand for true freedom and make this country a free country again!
