The 17 Elements Of Martial Law
Submitted by Dave Hodges via The Common Sense Show blog,
The term “Martial Law” is thrown around with reckless disregard. "Is America under martial law?" is a question that is often discussed in the Independent Media.
Martial law occurs when the prevailing regime feels threatened by the message being offered by the loyal opposition. When normal means of censorship and marginalization fail, despotic regimes resort to martial law with all intended brutality of a violent crackdown on all of those being perceived as the “enemy”.
Seventeen Martial Law Characteristics
Most experts agree that hard core martial contains the following 17 essential elements:
1-Mass roundup and/or execution of political dissidents
2-Dusk to dawn curfews
3-Rationing of essential resources
4-The seizing of personal assets such as food and water
5-Control over all food and water
6-The prohibition of weapons of any kind including guns, knives or chemicals which can be turned into explosives
7-The confiscation of property, homes and businesses
8-Arrests without due process
9-Massive “papers please” checkpoints with intrusive searches
10-Forced relocation
11-Forced conscription into various labor camps and even into the military
12-Outlawing of free speech
13-The installation of massive surveillance programs and the establishment of snitch programs
14-The total control or elimination of religion
15-Control of the media
16-Executions without due process of law
17-Total suspension of the Constitution
Just how many of these intrusive government policies are in place in the following video?
From your personal observations, how many can you name?

The Zionists think they're in control but still can't manage to get anything kicked off. Bunch of misgendered Sally-boys.
This ain't no party... This ain't no disco...
Next verse is "This ain't no foolin around".
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance;
I'm getting used to it now.
I lived in a ghetto, I lived in a Brownstone,
I lived all over this town!
Excellant Choice. Thanks!
And here is the whole thing ......

I've got some groceries , some peanut butter ,, to last a couple of days...
No time for mud club, or cbgb, aint got time for that now.
This is LA, Bob.
1-Mass roundup and/or execution of political dissidents - what for, just make sure the opposition remains divided
2-Dusk to dawn curfews - needless - they're at home watching Dancing With The Walking Dead
3-Rationing of essential resources - just inflate away the ability to purchase these things easily
4-The seizing of personal assets such as food and water - just keep as many folks living hand to mouth as you can, same effect with less political fallout
5-Control over all food and water - Monsanto
6-The prohibition of weapons of any kind including guns, knives or chemicals which can be turned into explosives - puh-lease. the more guns out there the better. they will never be in the hands of an organised militia, led by a coherent strategy. Instead they will be used as they are now: not at all, or in violent crime & assaults
7-The confiscation of property, homes and businesses - just repo them or bankrupt the owner
8-Arrests without due process - 'due process' got redefined some while back
9-Massive “papers please” checkpoints with intrusive searches - what the fuck for, Facebook & google tracks you way better than the Stasi ever dreamed possible
10-Forced relocation - why bother?
11-Forced conscription into various labor camps and even into the military - again, why bother? when there's no jobs and the military is always hiring, why force anyone into it?
12-Outlawing of free speech - opposite, get everyone talking across each other at once, no-one will organise effectively.
13-The installation of massive surveillance programs and the establishment of snitch programs - see above, google, facebook + rendition
14-The total control or elimination of religion - why bother, it's an opiate
15-Control of the media - why bother, it's an effective distraction. . .
16-Executions without due process of law - why bother, anyone effective and non-violent is marginalised, anyone effective and violent will receive all the 'due process' they can handle.
17-Total suspension of the Constitution - why bother? who would notice in such a way as to get anyone else to care?
Martial Law is no longer needed. You've sedated, distracted and monitored yourselves into irrelevance & submission. Congratulations. America has conquered herself.
To CapnJackDaniel 00:42
Bravo, sir! You updated martial law to martial law 2.0 2015. The weak article described our fathers martial law. I heard HL Mencken said: "Americans deserve everything they get. Good and hard!" HL lost his love for his fellow humans. Glad I knew people who taught me the truth. Love. I differ in only your religion comment. Spiritual systems that explain love detach minds from the matrix.
I'd just like to point out that there's nothing wrong with wishing people to get what they deserve. There's really no other way to learn, grow up and become an adult. Getting what you deserve is recognized in many cultures and in our Western culture is often stated as, "You reap what you sow." In the East it is the Law of Karma - or cause and effect. Good can only come from good, and evil cannot create good, but only more evil. This is the unchangeable law of this universe.
We don't have freedom because, in the aggregate, we don't deserve it. If people would return to the foundation of morality/ethics - not causing harm i.e. the non-aggression principle - we would all be free tomorrow.
The good thing for us is that all these troubles are not real, but only wild phantasies. There is absulutely nothing wrong in this good Earth except some bad ideas. There is nothing to change but oursselves.
The wonderful thing about a belief in Jesus Christ is that you don't het what you deserve after a life of sin, I never undrstood the whole grace/mercy thing until someone put it to me in these terms: Grace is given to you unconditionally - you get it without doing a thing; mercy is what you don't get even though you deserve it. I think if more people would just read and study the bible on their own and quit listening to the blatherings of "men of God" they would be better off. Seek and you shall find.......
some good points, some glib but "14-The total control or elimination of religion - why bother, it's an opiate" loses you some credibility. The life of Christ and the Christian's call to follow it discredits your point entirely.
You also make the atheist's mistake of confusing man with his Maker.
1. no it doesn't
2. WTF? Go sell Jesus door to door in your own way
3. You go ahead and think I'm atheist.
I'm just waiting for the post that refers to "Marshall Law." I always get a good laugh when someone makes that mistake.
Marshall Law, Marshall Dillon's half brother. I once had a hack lawyer named Marshall Lobin. Fired him and got me a Marine Colonel lawyer.
Marital Law. New this fall from NBC.
Great. Another fucking reality show.
The way you put it, it does. Perhaps if you said something that qualifies what you intended to say then it would not be like that. "Popular organized religion" or some such would be a possible example.
If you are not an atheist then you must follow some kind of religion. You take the opiate you criticize? Maybe in your mind you have clarity and consistency but it does not translate in your writings. Of course a lot of people seem to agree with you and that is a fearful thought considering you are using blanket statements to condemn an idea.
I'm not condemning anything mate, you are. It's an opiate. So is codeine. I take it to feel better. Most of the congregation you're in does too. If you think a fact is a condemnation, then brother you must spend a lot of time needlessly outraged . . . angry . . . but ultimately impotent. Just like they want you.
All of your counter scenarios are only valid so long as Americans remain economically comfortable and the welfare checks keep rolling in. As soon as monetary devaluation becomes undeniable, price inflation becomes unbearable, and people start starving and losing access to their favorite toys, unrest will occur and martial law becomes inevitable. It's ignorant to think that the government has been training the military in civil reponse for no reason. It's also ignorant to overlook the fact that martial law has been tested in places like New Orleans and Boston without reason. The TSA isn't fielding VIPR unit checkpoints on highways just for kicks and the police aren't being militarized just for yucks. And, the DHS isn't ordering billions of rounds of ammunition for fucking "training purposes" either. Not to mention all the continuity of government executive preparations taken by Bush and Obama. You really think all of this is being done if the government has no intention or no need for domestic control measures? I wish I lived in your fantasy world...
Looks obvious to me their gearing up for war somewhere, if not in our neighborhoods, just as likely preparation for another of their, to date unannounced because they have to "pass it to find out what's in it"t, wars against non central bank controlled states.
Hi Sally!
#14 sounds like a great idea
The elimination part, at least.
Everyone must now be a Scientologist and hand over their women for brainwashing and mass rape.
Still sound like a great idea?
Hey, if we got rid of all religion we would not have war since religion is and always
has been the genesis for war. That won't fly, it's too damn profitable! Plus it helps
with populaton control.
"if we got rid of all religion we..."
People who think that they have the right and the ability to interfere with the voluntary interaction of others are proposing nothing short of war. Stop proselytizing about what "we" should do and look after yourself.
Even the most extreme fan of religion will tell you they are religious, but the 'atheist' worshipper of the state will never be that honest with you. Statism is a religion above all others.
his post was lame, but when did he claim he has the right and ability to interfere with the voluntary interaction of others?
by using words to try to convince people?
and, if that's the case, aren't you doing the same thing - using words to try to convince him that he shouldn't convince others of his view? and, thus, interfering with his voluntary interaction with others, according to your line of reasoning?
It is not religion that is the genesis of war, but the desire for power disguised as religion.
Religion is man-made ritual. Of course it will lead to war because man is inherently flawed. Make your faith a way of life rather than a series of rituals.
17, 16, 15 (though in reverse, complete control of the government by media), 13, 12, 8, and 7. So not quite half.
Bingo!
All this talk of marital law, aren't the gays happy yet?
See 'disco' comment ~ lol
I figured most would recognize it as snarkasm.
Actually, I'd say that LBGT is the ONLY group that is gaining civil liberties these last few years.
Hmmm... what could that mean?
it's not either-or, not a zero-sum game.
a more broad-minded view might be, when anyone gains liberty, we all gain liberty.
Yeah but, your avatar doesn't seem too thrilled about it.
"All are created equal". We already all have the same amount of liberty. If "more" liberty has to be created for some, then it is being taken away from others. Know any bakers in WA or NM?
"Experts agree". What experts? Who are they? This "experts say" thing is bullshit when they say it and bullshit when our guys say it too.
I don't know what "experts" this dude is refering to, but one of the real experts is author Douglas Valentine. Read his books and search out his interviews and articles and you'll understand.
Here's the short course interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J80UC34SH8c
Experts textperts
only 'most' experts... eff hodges and his ilk...
can't even do fear-porn well... what a dirtbag...
Nothing about taking cell phones.
Nobody will notice.
"It is martial law, it just doesn't feel like martial law!"
I think the Tyler(s) may have been drunk, or snorting too much nose candy when they posted this
piece of shit. Looks like something Alex Jones would even shy away from posting.
This is one of those articles where the truth is in between here and the extreme opposite.
I'm so sick of this Martial Law bullshit. Mr. Hodges is dead wrong.
Real martial law can only be declared by the military (and that means a traditional millitary, a militia, or a fucking armed neighborhood watch) after a civilian government has fled, been ousted, strung up by lamp posts, or been otherwise removed or destroyed.
Civilian governments that are still in power cannot by definition declare "Military Law aka Martial Law" without first ceding power to the military.
Boston by any other name...
So far the only credible martial law scene in recent memory was in the aftermath of Katrina and before that, the Rodney King riots. Everything else is simply militarized police shitting on the constitution (e.g. Boston, Ferguson, and I have no idea what label to put on the spastic police action in CA during the Dorner episode.)
if 'after' rodney king was martial law, martial law is an efffing joke...
ask the cats in l.a.'s korea town about martial law... the punchline will be in korean, so pay attention...
well how else can they make the west communist just as they did to Russia in 1917? It's the same trick, repeat.
Bahrain is a good illustration of how Vichy DC, City of London, Saudi and Israel enforce Martial Law with barely a fucking peep out of the MSM.
As for ALL these next to useless groups like Amnesty International , Red Cross etc who receive donations from sub-sets of the above, FUCK YOU!
What if they declared martial law and nobody came?
I'm coming right now.
Dave Hodges?
Dave Hodges????
wtf is this doing up here or did I miss the big SARC tag???
Hodges is just another unquestionable lunatic fudge-boy with the audio broadcasting skills of a roller derby arena announcer and his show sounds like shit as well... silly fat fuck, that Hodges......
Just another "Hey, Look! ZH puts up a lot of Bullshit for your entertainment!" post... kind of like anytime Russia is referred to as a "first world" country, or even a "superpower".
If you think that Russia, as one of the largest gas/oil exporters in the world, and the nation with the largest number of nuclear warheads, is not a superpower than I don't think you undestand the meaning of the word. Sure, the US is more powerful, but Russia is certainy a dangerous superpower as well.
During the Civil War President Lincoln declared martial law and suspended the Writ of Habeas Corpus, based specifically on a law passed by Congress and signed by the President effective during the rebellion giving him that suthority under clearly defined conditions. Under Proclamation 113 he used that authority in the State of Kentucky, for one example. However, the Civil Officers and Authorities were not replaced by military officers, elections were not suspended, the Legislature of the State of Kentucky was not suspended from meeting and conducting their Constitutional duties, etc. It was hardly a complete military takeover of the government of Kentucky.
Now. Regarding those MRAPS. They are going to be big, expensive and very obvious white elephants for the police departments using them. There is no domestic logistics and maintenance system to support them. In other words, your local NAPA or other auto parts stores are not going to stock any parts for them and won't be able to order them either.
They are too slow to outrun the slowest domestic car or truck. I am sure that my huge diesel powered F-250 4X4 handles like a sports car in comparison to the MRAP. So forget getting anywhere in a hurry.
Even in a domestic insurrection one or two will hardly prove adequate, as a properly prepared Molotov-gelatin cocktail will turn them into roasting ovens for the police officers inside them, not that I am suggesting or approving such actions. Merely pointing out the obvious.
Even an M1A1 Abrams tank can be disabled in the same manner. That's why tanks deploy with infantrymen going into combat. They are there to protect the tanks from from enemy infantrymen. The final battle scene in "Saving Private Ryan" gives a credible example of what infantrymen can do against armored vehicles in urban combat if they are not protected by their own infantrymen.
Who cares about martial law?
Particularly in a country like the US which has been in an official "State of Emergency" for the past twenty years, at least...
Discounting the one Roosevelt declared before whatever it was...
Time to move Washington D.C. to Somalia. Go on. Get it out of here.
Somebody call the police. Arrest Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon. Don't let them get away.
"We are all just prisoners here of our own device, penny a room at the hotel California,"
I live under "Marital Law." My firey redheaded wife's nickname is Wolverine and I sleep with one eye open.
As a marriage goes it works for both of us. As a nation we have been as a general observation sleeping with eyes wide shut.
What passes for leadership in government is laughable. The lobbyists run our country. Washington has become an out of control monster. You will know we have martial law when the EBT cards are shut off. People with any desire to open their eyes and look around know something isnt quite right. Here in Obamaville last night in the nether regions of south Chicago a woman and 3 of her kids were hit by gunfire while sitting in their home watching TV with the womans grandfather. He was also hit and he was killed while holding one of his great grandsons. Where is the outrage Mr Obama? Where is the outrage, Mr Holder? Where is the outrage Mr Sharpton?
See, we are being led. We are being led and some including myself would say we are arleady there. Look around your neighborhood. America was once a place where hard work, integrity and grit would allow you to go as far and as fast as your ideas and determination would take you. That America is gone. I am not so sure it can be retrieved.
To those who think local cops will gather and open fire on fellow citizens i think you are mistaken. We know where they live. Will the National Guard fire on fellow citizens? Do you know the National Guard soldiers that live in your neighborhood? To those who wish for TEOTWAKI be careful what you wish for.
I will be 60 this year. I don't recognize my country. Am I guilty of looking the other way for too long? Probably. See I was the guy working his ass off since I was 12. I was the guy that for my whole life paid taxes, employed people,, trained people, raised three college educated daughters who married and are now working raising families and and the newest generations. I was the guy who worked 90 hours a week and paid employees first before my mortage when starting out.
The world owes no one anything. We are at a tipping point as a nation. The powers that be at all levels as reached so far into our wallets and our everday lives that there is no gaining back any semblance of the America that once was. Government has become an all consuming monster. Society is indeed bread and circuses. Local news just announced that in another local Obamaville Chicago suburb some monster killed a baby with a power saw. Any questions. Do you recognize the country you grew up in?
I have to generally agreee with your statements, with the exception that the Banksters, not lobbyists, control the government. The lobbyists are just the guys who deliver the brown paper bags to the legislators.
Martial law backed up by a whiff of grape shot is the wet dream of power freaks. Events like Boston can last a couple of days. Events like Katrina can last a couple of weeks. People cower and submit because they are placed in a temporary environment that will be lifted as things return to normal. The locking down of a city like Boston beyond a couple of days would very quickly have fallen apart.
Consider the murders, rapes, gambling, drugs and prostitution that go on in the nation’s prisons. Once the inmates have acclimated to the existing control mechanisms, they devise work arounds to meet whatever demand there is.
Walking down a street with your buds all geared up, backed up by MRAPs is an adrenalin rush. Standing on post day after day in the heat and cold and bugs gets boring. Once you get bored, your vigilance drops. Then, you become a target of opportunity.
According to my copy of Black's Law Dictionary, Martial Law can be declared First by the Congress; second, by the President if Congress cannot convene.
Quoting: "...when Civil Authority has ceased to function or has become ineffecive....it depends on the will of the military commander...(and) which suspends all existing civil laws as well as the civil authority and the ordinary administration of justice."
Many of the item points posted by the author may or may not happen.
However, there has to first be a complete breakdown of State and Local LE capabilities and State Militias. This includes the NG and the 23 States possessing State Defense Forces.
I never know how to take Hodges. He raises many valid points, but he borders on hyperbole/panic.
The best course of action I can figure is keep your eyes open and nose to the wind. Be prepared to stash and run if you have to- but you will have to figure out that time window individually.
Hodge's point #14 is not mentioned in any text or reference in the Law.
Seeing as how the "element of surprise" is essential for the Government to successfully apply Martial Law (which by the way HAS been in effect since the 30's and renewed by every Congress in secret), then from what I can see in the comments posted, ya'll are ripe for the picking.
Next stop: FEMA Resorts & Inns bitchez...
Don't say no one warned you !
Dont eat the Soylent Green it's people unless you like that sort of thing .
I have long thought that the "Forced Relocation" thing is SO 20th century...totally unnecessary and a complete waste of resources.
The owners of this country want everyone right where they are where they can still be marginally useful as they are bled white with taxes and debt held by the banking system.
The last thing they need is thousands, millions of people under their direct charge that need to be sustained in "FEMA Camps".
And even if they wanted to kill everyone, the worst way to do it is in extermination camps. Disposing of all the bodies is a total nightmare....just ask the people who have done it; the Nazis.
Much easier to just allow people to rot right in the leaking shacks they currently occupy and then force them clean up the mess with their own tax dollars.
Yeah, yeah, OK. Another sensationalist proof of what everyone here already knows. The Police State is not coming, it is here and becomes more pervasive and powerful every day.
So, what do we do? Bunker in and hide, move the the boonies where we might be found only after urban power and control is consolidated, and become target practice? Shoot first and often, so as to facilitate an effective escalation of the pro-Police State and anti-"terrorist" propaganda and action? Write letters to our Congresscritters asking if we might please have our country back? Wait 'til we are if FEMA camps, so we can conspire to instigate food fights against the guards, armed with our plastic sporks and mashed potatoes?
Nope,,, just sit around on our ass like we have the past couple hundred years...
They don't need martial law. They only need the gullibles and the LAW. They already have that... the gullibles will take what real humans are left and drag them down with the rest of the herd... .
It was rather hypocritical for RT to be claiming martial law in US.
Not that I don't think it is coming.
It was just no very honest.
Another list of all they intend to do to everyone, as though that's it, done deal. Poor us.
They currently govern easily with our consent, consent which can be revoked as easily as martial law is invoked. If the lights aren't coming back on, all bets are off.
Head on a swivel, don't go out after dark boys. Stay together.
The easiest task is #15 - Control of the media.
Most of that effort has already been accomplished.
Just control FoxNews and the WSJ editorial pages and it will be complete.
The answer is obvious.
Humans are a failed species.
Any species who accepts endless abuse, much less sanctions, defends and funds the abusers... has zero chance.
Humans are finished.
"British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civilians during a protest march against internment."
- 1972, Bloody Sunday — sometimes called the Bogside Massacre[1] — was an incident on 30 January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland. British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civilians during a protest march against internment. Fourteen people died: thirteen were killed outright, Many of the victims were shot while fleeing from the soldiers and some were shot while trying to help the wounded. Two protesters were also injured when they were run down by army vehicles.[2][3]
- How does this look for America's best Ally & Best Friend?
- Are we in an Anglo-American Union?
- Remember when British Regime used Australia as a Prison, but search Wikipeadia and guess what, NSA must have scrubbed it clean from the Australian History
- Wikipeadia Sues NSA for what Tracking Users?
- Are we supposed to think after all we inherited from the English Culture, Our Region Called New England, Our sole use of English as our Official Language, that 1972 is a distant age of a different English Regime?
- Are we supposed to think our Laws, Government, Military Traditions, and Acts of State are not exactly like those of Europe?
When will the USA really Divorce Traditions from Monarchy and Empire from Europe? Wouldn't it be great to have a Real Age of Enlightenment? Wouldn't it be Great to Accept that we are a Military Republic and then put it to the People to Decide if we should be a Democracy of Justice and Refuse Foreign Wars over 1000 miles away. How about reaffirming the Geneva Convention, Mr. Obama?
How about Ending the Restrictions of American Style Freedoms? How about Ending Monopolies and Giant Federal and Banking Empires?
How about all Citizens of USA & Europe Recognize the Human Element in Government, Military Force, Police Force, Treaties of all Kinds, and Business of all kinds? Negative features of humans, negative emotions, career or monetary incentives for all careers that cause prosecution of Innocents, Advantages for the Few & the Connected, Government Legislation that transfers Taxpayer Money to Wealthy Interests, and Loopholes and Lobbying that grant advantages, Tax Breaks, Incentives for Job Cuts, Incentives for Outsourcing jobs overseas, and Incentives for using Slave Labor overseas which can not be audited.
How about we talk about how Capitalism and Propaganda can be Fascist. Moving more people on to welfare, food stamps, and granting them tax Credits payable in cash doesn't fix half of the problems. Just like going to a new world war won't fix any of the problems.
18. Waging a Dirty War on your own people, Kidnapping dissidents, political activists, Worker Activists,...Disappearing Witnesses to police actions,...Mass graves or Killing of groups which are supposed to be actively opposing the "Government"
19. NDAA or Patriot Act Provisions or Illegal War Conduct used in SW Asia like Drone Strike Assassination where other housing-families-innocents can be present, Rendition, Paying Thugs for Information or turn-in of people who are supposed to insurgents or active dissidents, torture
20. Putting people in Jail for not Paying Court Fines, Not recording Time Served in Jail for fines not paid, putting people in jail for drug possession which could be for personal use, giving teenagers a lifetime Record for using a drug or using alcohol or getting a driving while intoxicated... anything that causes you lose your job, get a record that keeps you from every getting a job or apartment again... for reasons other than stealing, theft, robbery, adult sex violation, violence, kidnapping, financial crimes, fraud, Racketeering, or Accounting Control Fraud (This is not completed, there are too many factors to deal with)
Internment without trial was introduced on 9 August 1971.[14]
- There was disorder across Northern Ireland following the introduction of internment, with 21 people being killed in three days of rioting.[16]
- 1,332 rounds were fired at the British Army, who also faced 211 explosions and 180 nail bombs[18] and who fired 364 rounds in return
But I know nothing of the Civil War in Ireland or how the war was conducted by either side.
Operation Demetrius was a British Army operation in Northern Ireland on 9–10 August 1971, during the Troubles. It involved the mass arrest and internment (imprisonment without trial) of 342 people suspected of being involved with the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which was waging a campaign against the state. It was proposed by the Northern Ireland Government and approved by the British Government. Armed soldiers launched dawn raids throughout Northern Ireland, sparking four days of violence in which 20 civilians, two IRA members and two British soldiers were killed. Due mainly to faulty intelligence, many of those arrested were Catholics or Irish nationalists who had no links with the IRA. Loyalist paramilitaries were also carrying out acts of violence, which were mainly directed against the Catholic and Irish nationalist community, but no loyalists were included in the sweep.[1]
The introduction of internment, the way the arrests were carried out, and the abuse of those arrested, led to mass protests and a sharp increase in violence. Amid the violence, about 7,000 people fled or were forced out of their homes. The interrogation techniques used on the internees were described by the European Commission of Human Rights in 1976 as torture, but the European Court of Human Rights ruled on appeal in 1978 that while the techniques were "inhuman and degrading", they did not constitute torture.[2] It was later revealed that the British Government had withheld information from the ECHR and that a policy of torture had in fact been authorized by British Government ministers.[3] In December 2014 the Irish government asked the European Court of Human Rights to revise its 1978 judgement.[4]
The policy of internment was to last until December 1975 and during that time 1,981 people were interned;[5] 1,874 were Catholic/Irish republican, while 107 were Protestant/loyalist. The first Protestant/loyalist internees were detained in February 1973.[1]
