Let’s talk about martial law. This is when the normal law of the land is suspended and the authority comes from the military or federal government.

One recent example of undeclared martial law in the US was when the police were looking for the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and went door to door, forcing innocent people to come outside with their hands on their heads at gunpoint, while their homes were searched without warrants. 

It turns out that many of us have some serious misconceptions of what it’s really like to live through a martial law situation. I asked Selco, who has personally been through it, to clear up the myths and tell us what it’s actually like. You can always count on him for the unvarnished truth, and that’s what we need to be prepared to survive extreme situations.

  1. I've thought about this topic years ago and came to the conclusion like in Boston T parties books it's beneficial to be a grey man. But always do whats right because it's right. One's soul still has to make an account in the end not to man but to God . Evil can still pay its price on earth and in the after.

  2. After reading the article and agreeing with its premise I let my mind wander to the people I know personally, people I don't really know but observe in my neighborhood and what I see on a very limited TV watching schedule. Just about all of them are political drones who plod through life not even thinking about the consequences of "martial law". The few who I've questioned about the possibility of "martial law" (I had to describe what martial law was to more than a few) being imposed laughed at me and I was instantly labeled a "Conspiracy Kook".

      They'll be coming to you for protection if there is such.

  3. "There were cases of soldiers rejecting orders from some officers because they felt it was against everything they were taught.

    Usually those soldiers disappeared too.

    Military was big machinery, and parts of that machinery operated on orders like any military. In martial law times, orders are rarely questioned because punishments for that were hard."
    That's what happened in Waco - four of 'their own' were shot
    in the back by a weapon the Davidian's didn't even possess -
    they were shot from an elevated area. These four disagreed
    with the military invasion and murder tactics.
