13. Area Commanders will employ trusted members of the clergy to assist in restoring order.
14. Regional authorities will control the release of information under the guise of preventing panic. All elections will be suspended. Therefore, the belief that Obama will not leave office at the end of his term is correct if the martial law predates his last day in office.
15. Numerous references were made to Army Field Document FM 3-39.4 which is the means in which “detainees” will be utilized.
16. Unsanctioned community meetings and gatherings will be forbidden without written permission from the local authority. Also discussed was the disposition of dead bodies and under what conditions can funerals take place. Funerals will be replaced with memorial services and will be limited to immediate members of the family. This was a complete shock to me as I have never heard of such a thing. It is clear that the martial law authorities are anticipating mass casualties. Is this why we are seeing so many medical transport vehicles in these massive convoys around the United States?
17. Under “rare conditions” the military can secure private living space for their personnel. This is a clear violation of the Third Amendment, No Quartering Act.
18. Upon approval of the governing military authority, local law enforcement can recruit members of the community to form a posse (i.e. Brown Shirts?).
19. Violators of the martial law provisions can be tried as enemy combatants at the discretion of the local military authority (i.e. NDAA).
20. Energy conservation is called for in the event that there is power, or limited power, in any given area. Mention of home inspections for high energy users was part of this provision. I suspect that this is the guise under which gun confiscation will take place. It seems clear that the authorities want to gain access to our homes in a variety of ways. I am certain that this has to do with gun confiscation.
21. Farms, ranches and any food production center can be nationalized for the public good. This includes the transportation associated with potential food distribution.
22. With regard to the distribution of food, water and medicine (when possible), local community members will be conscripted to assist with the distribution. (EO 13603).
23. All private transportation can be commandeered for official use.
24. No private use of vehicles except with written permission from the local commander.
25. Schools, churches and other community centers will be closed during any period of chaos. These facilities will be allowed to reopen on a limited basis, and under specified conditions, when order is restored. This brings up the notion of the Clergy Response Team and the fact that the people will be told to follow Romans 13 and obey the governmental authority.
>It was clear to me that the planning for mass casualties is a major concern. What to do with the bodies is of paramount importance to the authorities.
>The document did not discuss any precipitating incident to martial law. The language is so vague in some places that it is easy to assume the worst with regard to the underlying intentions of martial law.
>I want to stress that what I was allowed to view was a working document, not an official document. However, the list was very reflective of what I wrote about before. However, the notion of gun confiscations occurring under the premise of reducing energy use in a critical area, was something that had never occurred to me.
>I suspect the language is vague for a couple of reasons. First, the powers that be do not want the troops to begin to form negative opinions which could lead to opposition from troops initially called upon to enforce these martial law regulations. Troops cannot be given much time to ponder their actions if compliance to an edict is offered which is fundamentally in opposition to many of the troops belief systems. . Secondly, by being vague, the authorities retain plausible deniability.
