i'm hearing this from so many different sources of late including two of my friends who have gotten information from 'insiders'. one spoke with a DC insider who told him that bush plans to invoke The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive and that martial law will go into effect on 10/5.
the other friend spoke to a military insider who told him that the NG reserves have already been called up in prep for martial law in 10 days.
then Rick Adams, on RBN, reported this on his show Monday: Martial Law Infrastructure: U.S. Troops on Home Soil -'Consequence Management Response Force'.

" Naomi Klein, author of the "Shock Doctrine" sets her model of how it works over the crisis in credit, which is rocking wall st's robber 'cradles this last few weeks.
911 one the initial, richter ten, the neo cons bought and ordered via their operatives with the Bin Ladin organization. Next on the "hit" parade was the attack on Afghanistan's Taleban and it's support for an imagined Al Qaida. Next came the WMD doctrines of despair that showed Hussein to be holding big nukes and passing them into US cities to do us in.
As the awe waned post Iraq build up, the big event unfolded before our eyes, like clockwork, to rekindle the unbridled fear that puts big power in grubby little hitlerian hands like Henry Paulson.
Iraq exploded in the Rumsfeld planned fireworks of every killing machine Uncle Sam brings to his sanction weakened(starved) conquests.
The carnage factor in Iraq proved to be a veritable banquet of bedlam for the neocons as they feasted on dead, muyilated bodies left in streets, thrown into rivers and hung from trees and bridges as memorials to shock doctrine's immoralities and bottom feeding seditions.
As the spector of torturous mutilation burned in our brains, the Iranian demonising as Israel killer and hater, drove Israel to derision as they shocked Lebanon with a death strike that stung Israel with over 4000 rockets from Hezbollah ,which drove home a point from Hassan Nassrallah, Dissidents can shock the doctor if they have the balls.
Fighting back is what we do now when shocked, we strike like lion bitches, hungry as hell for a meal for the cubs .
Shock and awe has recoiled a hammer in the pissed off position, ready to fire in anger at the first sign of ripping the US treasury one of those new assholes that is gaping on wall street.
Naomi Klein sees a power grab and wants to stuff a dirty sock in it, Hank Paulsons, old college football socks will do, I hear he was quite a meanie on the field.
Well, Hank, If you meey me on this field, put that head down, speed up to full and lower your shoulders, buddy, but i'm still going to rip your fucking head off and eat it, just so you know."
How can you resist the "shock doctrine" if you don't have a plan? These free market ideologues have their plan, and what has the opposition got?
Protest. Resist. To what end?
Naomi's "disaster capitalism" does not explain what is going on and why, it merely describes how it is done.
Private capital is running roughshod over the public interest, and it is able to do this because private capital owns and operates the monetary system and exercises the greatest influence over government policy.
Naomi Klein doesn't address this fundamental matter. No progressive does. Only Ralph Nader is recommending that the Chairman of the Fed become a cabinet post in an attempt to make the Fed accountable to the people.
The Federal Reserve is a private corporation that serves the interests of powerful corporate oligarchs. They introduced this Trojan horse into the American economy in 1913. These people run the monetary system in their own interest. Cronies and insiders get all the credit they want and then they dump the public wealth down a rat hole.
If you cannot identify the problem, Naomi, how can you fix it? You have no political vision to inspire positive change, you have simply described the modus operandi of the ruling elite. Useful, but not the basis for a genuine opposition.
The private monetary system is the source of this crisis. It is the control arm of the corporate oligarchy. If you want something that resembles democracy, you must take the monetary system out of the hands the robber barons.
Anything less is just a compromise of the public interest. Do these fucks ever compromise? It's time to kick them out of the driver's seat.
To do that, leadership is required, and more than leadership, we need a coherent vision of what needs to be done.
You ain't got that, Naomi. The only leader on the scene today who actually understands what is going on is Ralph Nader.
