    • But how can you fight with martial arts when they will be using guns and I understand they have "microwave guns" that will make you vomit and sick and so they don;t kill you .

      I don't know but yeah, they all need to be in jail- If I was the dictator the would be !! Everyone would be on the same financial scale - spread the money equally- but the money doesn't EVEN EXIST !!! The whole system is a falsehood thats creates hierarchy and inhumane treatment to maintain control . Barter system should be the new world order . Won't those " richies " be screwed if they had to "barter" for something- lol they would probably hustle that too !

    • According to some questionable sources.

      "U.S. troops returning from duty in Iraq will be carrying out homeland patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil unrest and crowd control” - which could include dealing with unruly Americans after a complete economic collapse."

    • This so called “martial law rule” is an internal rule of the Congress that allows the members to vote to suspend the regular rules so that legislation can be adopted more expeditiously.

      It is a very poorly named rule in that it has absolutely nothing to do with imposing a martial law regime on the country and its people.

      In parliamentary goverments, like that of Canada and the United Kingdom, similar rules exist and are called “cloture”, which is a parliamentary procedure by which the government party can stop debate and proceed with an up or down vote on bills. Critics call this a “gag rule”. There is nothing particularly sinister about it.

      John A is kind of a dink sometimes.

      Thanks Vierotchka for the clarification.

      It's still a skeezy move because they're no discussion or debate, and We the People don't get to see the bill.

    • If the American taxpayer is expected to pay for this bailout, then the least they can do is let us see what the deal is before it is voted on and becomes the shackles on us, our children and children's children.

      This amounts to taxation without representation, that system which our beloved founding forefathers fought so diligently to overcome. Are we right back where we started so long ago..?

    • This was done in 2006 as well....

      " The Leadership apparently intends to use a process known as “martial law” to allow these bills to be brought to the floor very shortly after negotiations are completed, with the result that Members of the House are likely to have virtually no time to examine and consider the details of the legislation before they will be required to vote on it."

      However, last night MSNBC ran a text scroll that something like.... "Sources: Meeting got firey when the subject of military option was brought up.".

      The link to the House video can be found at CSPAN at:
      (18 minutes into the clip (bottom timer), 21 minutes into the video - here's a link to the exact position):

    • How could the American people acquire the funds to launch our own communications satellite with our own news network and show the public that there is a news media that broadcasts the full content of the news and the truth as it involves the total American public. There is still a lot of people who are watching network news and we need this exposure too. Current news is good on the internet, but we need a true network anchor who can put the news in context and show the nation what is happening. We must compete with the mainstreaam media.
