Thoughts on #Martial #Law & U.S. #Military intervention

Lets not lose the relevance and context of this discussion by focusing on a U.S. survey of combat trained Marines.

Would US Troops Fire on Americans?

Here is an interesting google search for more interesting reading on the subject..

"Combat Arms Survey," pdd 25 results

The only thing interesting about the question "What percentage of (especially young / green) Marines would fire on violent protesters threatening the authority of the United States government"? Is what conditions would have to exist in the country for this to be a valid question?

People around the world, right now mainly in the middle east and Africa, are rising up against corrupt governments.

Why is this happening? Mainly because the cost of commodities have been skyrocketing since the evil Ben Bernanke led, bank cabal, Federal Reserve began intentionally driving down the value of our fiat currency to PRODUCE inflation. Now the FED denies they have any responsibility at all for rising prices and unrest around the world.

You can see more of my opinion on the Federal Reserve & other issues in My Manifesto

And why is the FED undertaking such drastic monetary actions? Because the Federal Reserve Bank and the United States government are scared to death about the still looming economic collapse, deflation and depression facing this nation due to the national debt and never ending deficit spending.

And if..

the economy were to collapse
the dollar were to collapse
hyperinflation were to set in due to the irresponsible actions of the Federal Reserve
the government of the United states were to default on its obligations including the social safety net
there were a horrific terrorist attack on American soil
we do go to war with even more Muslim countries in the middle east and elsewhere fueling fears of a possible world war three
the U.S. government continues down the road of strengthing rather than eliminating the Patriot Act
we give the President of the United States the authority to shut down the internet for up to 4 months with NO congressional oversight
we continue to implement draconian freedom robbing unconstitutional security measures like the TSA
politicians continue to force clearly unconstitutional laws onto the populace only to bailout a failing insurance industry (HCR)
government and main stream media continue to call TeaParty members Nazis and racists while calling union members in WI heros
the Federal Reserve, Primary Dealers, banks and government continue to favor the profits of banks and multinational corporations over the welfare of their own citizens

will there be, would there be, could there be violent protests and civil unrest?

Unions have a history of violence in this country, TeaParty members do not, yet..

We, the United States of America, have a history of Muslim uprisings too..
Malcolm X was assassinated, Muhammad Ali was thrown in prison

Malcolm X

Here is a very good documentary on Ali A.K.A. Cassius Clay (1970)

We also, inside a mere 200 year history, hardly the Romans, have experience with civil war, brother killing brother right here in this country..

These are difficult times for our country. I, personally, fear its very future may hang in the balance. Foreclosures set a record last year at 1 million. This year we expect to see another 1.2 million Americans expelled from their homes to help support the balance sheet of our so very important banking / financial system..

While we may not be Libya even Americans have a breaking point..

So my question has been the same for a long period of time now.

If a mere 1% of the U.S. population were to be driven to violent protests you are talking about more than 3 million people. Just 1/2 of 1 percent = 1.5 million people. 0.01 percent is 300,000 people..

Were potentially violent civil unrest to occur in this country how would the response of the United States government be different than the response of the Iranian government after their bogus election in 2009?

I predict, not much.. Put down dissent, arrest those involved.

The United States has the authority of law to jail anyone it chooses at any time for seditious activity, which essentially means opposing government authority..

In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as "speech" and "organization", that is "deemed by the legal authority" to tend toward "insurrection against the established order". Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and "incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority". "Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws". Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.

See Sedition

To think that America is somehow immune from civil unrest is near-sighted and silly based merely on our own history..

If "things" were to go to hell in this country for any number of reasons would the United States government use use the military, including the national guard, on American soil as a police / law enforcement entity as they currently do elsewhere in the world? As they did in the aftermath of Katrina?

And if they did would a small percentage of U.S. military personnel fire on civilians if ordered to do so by a commanding officer?

I'm sorry, but I have many more questions than I do answers..
