Well, Somebody Has To Ask: Is This 'Financial Crisis' Intentional So That Martial Law Can Be

[AzDar]

Declared?

Or is it simply the usual BushCo. negligence/ indifference that we've come to know and loathe?

Whatcha think?

[peacetheonlyway]

1. Negligence &&& as soon as they see a window to use Martial law

they will..

and only after americans are under martial law..

kabam....

suddenly we'll invade iran so those pesky peace activists can't stop bush.

i see it so clearly now....

it's damn scary what the negligence of this administration has led us to.

3. usual negligence/indifference...

They were hoping this stuff wouldn't come to a head until after W was out of office.

[AzDar]

7. I think so, too. What's really hilarious (or horrific) is that by not being able to postpone the

collapse until Shrubbo was out of office, they actually managed to bungle the bungle.
Don't know whether to :puke: or :rofl:

4. You don't need martial law when 95%

of duhmerica doesn't give a fuck. Just show them reruns on TV and you could do what ever you want.

[dawgman]

5. When 95% of "duhmerica"

Can no longer afford to pay the cable company that broadcasts the re-runs? It may well come to that point.

6. i don't see how a financial crisis would justify martial law n/t

8. little brother Jeb used martial law in 2001 in FL.....

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=25051

This was right around 911....

So, yes, I believe it will come and maybe before he is out of office. That is why the collapse is starting now so that in nine months they can suspend the Constitution for good. It will take a little time, you know.....

[TheWraith]

10. No.

That's a myth. There was no "martial law" declared in Florida in 2001 or at any other time. The last time true martial law was declared in the US was during World War II, in Hawaii.

And WorldNutDaily is a flying-monkey-right operation, by the way. You might not want to cite them for anything that requires facts.

13. here is another link with the statuate....

[better tomorrow]

15. and here is the google search showing the order did exist on

the state website. It has since been removed for some strange reason so that is why it is only showing up on alternative websites. But, Executive Order 01-261 DID exist.....

11. Thank God somebody in this thread is grounded in reality.

I always shake my head at these ultra-paranoid "martial-law-Bush-planning-to-take-over-world-put-everyone-in-camps" threads.

19. I know, aren't those posts annoying?

Almost as annoying as those Rose-Colored "Everything is just great in Pleasantville" posts.

I just hate those.

Oh, wait....

12. What financial crisis? Yes, a recession is seemingly here in some sectors.

But hey, that happens. Katrina was a crisis. This is a market adjustment.

Nonetheless, there are more people in personal financial crisis.
Especially if they bought things they could not really afford.

So, maybe we can't afford 1/4th the global resources! D'oh, eh?
Especially while paying off the most expensive war in human history.

16. The financial crisis is a market correction, is what it is.

The housing bubble led to many financial institutions holding overvalued assets which were used to make bad loans (subprime mortgages), and those same overvalued assets were used as security for financial instruments (mortgage-backed bonds). You can lay part of the blame for what has happened on the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act (also known as the Banking Act of 1935), signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1999, which removed the prohibition on commercial banks acting as investment banks and led to these banks selling securitised packages of mortgage loans as bonds.

It's become clear that the assets that back many billions of dollars of debt are not enough to secure the loans; it's also become clear that many debtors who took out mortgage loans at a time of historically low interest rates near the height of a bubble in the housing market are incapable of repaying those loans.

17. Why ask about intent at all?

The rule seems to be that whenever Bush fucks something up he is handed more power. It goes back to all those companies he ran into the ground, and the positions of greater power he was handed after each fiasco, culminating in his nomination as president and the power he was handed after 9/11. So now you are asking "If Bush fucks up the economy, will he be handed more power?" The answer, in short, is 'yes' unless we get a serious change of heart in this country.

18. Yes, it's a very real possibility.
