Hitler said, "How fortunate for government officials that the people they lead do not think."
I feel much more comfortable in the "tin foil" business than I do trusting this tyrannical, evil, government/administration. The Americans who bust their asses to make America go around have been sold out and stuck in the back side enough. Those who don't see this or choose to ignore it are wearing "tin foil" over their eyes. We were warned from the establishment of the government and by some very intelligent historical figures that the corruption would start the day after the establishment of the "system". So, yes absolutely, martial law is probable and we are watching it happen today-slowly but surely they are imposing more bullshit control on good, honest citizens. It's legalized crime to say the least.

I disagree.

As has been previously stated, martial law is always "possible" and has been instituted on a number of occasions in our nation's past, however, as to whether or not it is "probable" is another matter and, without some "very significant event" taking place, IMO the answer remains "Not likely."

I repsect your opinion Sir, and thanks for the response. I do not put all my faith in the conspiracy side of things, but "where there's smoke..." I'm pretty sure we have all been around long enough to see a "wag the dog" tactic or two. There are alot of MAJOR issues up in the air right now, with strong opposing views and opinions, and I'm confident that if it begins to go south in quick fashion, a situation will be created to divert focus from, guns, healthcare, corrupt politics, etc. We shall see.

Do you have some concrete examples of martial law in your area?

Quite possible. Better use of the "National Emergency Powers" would
also be better use of the NDAA and suspension of Habeas corpus and the
right to a grand jury.

Maybe I did not explain myself clearly enough: I did not mean that it is physically happening, "as we speak"; however, the methods of large governments impose and tend to make concrete changes little by little. I am simply saying that small changes , that have to do with "control" of the people, have been taking place since the beginning, and before we know it-BOOM! I do believe that there has become an awareness that we as a nation have not seen before, and the government and the administration are seeing it. Any backlash, misunderstanding, or disaster would be the excuse to impose martial law, and the machine is more ready to execute it today than ever before.

When you look at how martial law is defined, and you think about it happening here, can you justify the probability based on all the factors in place at the present time?

Shoulda been around for the 60's - you would've been stroke material.

You just reminded me of a cult movie that's not in the Library list: Wild in the Streets.

I understand that "martial law" is used when the civilian system begins to break down and can no longer be maintained, due to any number of reasons. I think that higher authorities have a plethra of reasons to justify using "ML", and what concerns me are that many of these reasons can be controlled and dictated by the MSM. I think we have seen some potential for this to gain momentum in the near future-maybe not at the present time, but at any time, for any reason.

Martial law is impossible

...the next thing you know people will be accusing congress of passing laws without actually reading them.

You people are all paranoid and need to get a thicker gauge tin-foil when making your hats...

You hit it with the MSM-main problem for the Country.

Martial Law goes from "possible" to "certain" if the internet goes down.

And Sir, you hit the nail right on the head. And that could happen for any number of reasons, (intentional or un).

Trying to start the "TF Corp" and want to get a czar to run it. It is gaining one hell of a following.
