If it doesn't open, Gatestone Institute

As they say on Family Feud "Good answer!" Probably #1.

Thank you for an excellent resource. It feels less lonely knowing that others know what you know.

You science guys/girls out there help me but I believe it is an electrical magnetic force field shower or something of that nature that would shut down every electrical operating deice in the country. total darkness. and all it would take are a few missiles launched high enough to spread the force field. Such an action and on a smaller scale has occurred or resulted from solar flares coming from the sun. Scary

Or maybe due to nuclear testing a giant lizard comes out of the sea.... oh wait, that one's been taken.

Nuclear attack on US soil. Fail Safe or some other kind of scenario.

I agree. It's pretty simple. You either obey the law or you don't. We have elected people to make decisions for us. We have to accept the decisions they make whether you agree with them or not.

It really depends what kind of law we are talking about. If it's something like a curfew, that would be OK but if the law wants to disarm me, that's a different story. It's like you say. Either obey the law or don't. But don't be a sheep being led to slaughter.

Generally I am the one saying that this issue or that on this forum is way over the top and folks are making too much of it. People get all bent out of shape about their steak being too done, but this I have to say is no silly giant lizard.

All channels are saying that Isis is a valid threat. This is not something that we take political or philosophical sides on.

Those folks are out to get US. WE ALL are the infidels and we are their target.

Your new baby grandson and Uncle Bob and your sister in law who you don't like and the guy pouring drinks at Lake Sumter Landing. They want us dead..all AMERICANS.

Actually, this thread is about martial law and its direction took us to what it would take to impose it. Some of the responses were Zombie Apocalypse, Fail Safe, and to stay in the movie genre, I suggested Godzilla. I think Isis and the Infidels (sounds like an Iraqi garage band) may be part of another thread.

If Federal troops came to this area, I would do what they say to do, and hope to Heaven that whoever was directing them had all American's safety and best interest at heart.

People can think whatever they want about the terrible things truly happening in this world today but they are not anything I can make light of. I am not a person who in their whole life has had anything bitter to say about another religion, but this is far more than religion as we know it and joking about Isis as a garage band sounds like saying Isn't that cute, that child's body hanging from that tree. It isn't a joking matter.

I think jokes and sidestepping issues and changing the subject is a way some people deal with a fear too horrible to contemplate.

I don't know why martial law would be used except in a grave crisis. AND I still don't know what Redwitch means about the homestead act. There must be some political rhetoric about martial law that I am not aware of so as usual, I just think the way I think. I will not be directed by any politics in the face of a serious danger to our future. But why is martial law an issue?

Exactly!

There was a recent vote that didn't pass (but, by only 7 votes) about confiscating weapons, can anyone elaborate more? I read about it online, don't remember the details, wasn't the UN involved somehow?

Our Constitution and the 2nd amendment Is what is saving America
 

IF they remove the guns we will be finished.

Gun confiscation leads to genocide. Here are the historical facts. The following are “civilized” countries that confiscated guns from the populace and the resulting murders that followed: Turkey 1915-1917 1.5 million dead; Soviet Union 1929-1953 20 million dead; Nazi Germany 1933-1945 13 million dead; China 1949-1976 20 million dead; Guatemala 1960-1981 100,000 dead; Uganda 1971-1979 300,000 dead; Cambodia 1975-1979 one million dead.

The TRUTH is there are more murders in Chicago, where guns are out lawed, than in all the rest of the states.

The Institute for Policy Studies has noted that "[t]he institute was founded in 2011 by Nina Rosenwald, an heiress of the Sears Roebuck empire who has been a key philanthropic backer of anti-Muslim groups and individuals in the United States".[51] Sheila Musaji's The American Muslim includes it and Nina Rosenwald in a Who’s Who of the Anti-Muslim/Anti-Arab/Islamophobia Industry,[52] Ali Gharib, of the blog Open Zion, describes it as "a spin-off of the Hudson Institute where right-wingers (along with Alan Dershowitz) champion hawkish, often "pro-Israel" policies and, not infrequently, rattle off Islamophobic blogposts."[53]

This is what you read for a "fair and balanced" opinion. Paranoia at the least!
