Power to declare martial law was given to any president in office a long time ago in the event of war. He has also stated repeatedly "We are at war" which is a reason for martial law. Are we at war with a disease - or a powerful, unseen organization like the New World Order?

This is not a new power the president has. On September 15, 1863, President Lincoln imposed Congressionally authorized martial law. The authorizing act allowed the President to suspend habeas corpus throughout the entire United States (which he had already done under his own authority on April 27, 1861).

Trump's statements might be slowly leading up to the announcement of martial law to soften the severe blow it will have on financial markets. If America goes back to work too early, the already present Covid disease will spike worse than ever before. This would lead to another announcement of stopping all work and travel, and perhaps his public announcement of martial law. Just being outside your home or on the road can lead to arrest. US government already has more than 200 prison camps scattered around America. When Congressman in the past have been asked about these camps by Americans, people have been told "These are for Americans in times of unrest." I have seen one in person and wrote about. Camp location list is here.

Fox news recently asked this question: "Where is Congress though all this? Where are they?" Fact is that under martial law, Congress has zero say about anything Trump says or does. Congress would go home and stay there.

Martial Law will without doubt result in a massive stock sell-off. Almost all non-defense companies will be reduced to nothing in hours. Most will probably never recover. Only defense-related and government contractors will be left. This will make the crash of 1929 look like nothing. What companies stayed open and did great business during the depression? Defense related industries. Many of these are still in business today.

Trump hates CNN for three years of relentless, 24/7 ridicule. With the stroke of a pen Trump could take CNN permanently off the air if he wanted to. But that would give the secret of martial law away and terrify the public.

Martial Law can result in NO elections for president in November, and as long as we are under martial law. Others can still be elected, even if they are powerless. Right now people have a carrot still in front of them (a glimmer of hope) of a November election. But no strong democratic candidates. It is also Trump who declares the end of martial law. Until he does do, there will never be elections again as long as he lives.

Other than a revolution by US citizens or an invasion of America by another country, what other national emergency to declare martial law is worse than Covid? Life could be far worse right now if highly infectious, deadly Ebola spreads on the world. If this disease is turned loose on the population, society will absolutely, completely fall apart in a few days. Even disaster-preppers will not survive Ebola.

All of us can be grateful Ebola disease has not happened. It's also interesting that now we hear people like Dr. Fauci and governors stating "Life will never be the same." Martial law may be the reason for these statements. Question is - how long can martial law be kept secret?

I recommend you eat your next meal first before reading about the terrifying effects of Ebola on the body here.
