___________COMMENTER'S RESPONSE____________

playboy_@ warmgeoff •

I believe that if martial law was declared a majority of the police, military, or anyone else enforcing it would revolt and a civil war would start. Most if not all are not on best terms with the current government and may not follow orders. If the worst does happen i think it would be best to skip town with as much gold and silver as can be had and wait for things to blow over. In the past confiscations of gold and silver a majority made it out without getting taken. No reason to think we couldn't slip some out again.

******************MY Counter-RESPONSE******************

@Playboy: That would seem a logical belief, based upon historical precedents. However, there are several assumptions that may be partially or wholly incorrect, as a basis for your conclusion:

1)[a] The military, police, and 'security' forces have been trained to acknowledge and target such 'terror' groups as Christians, gun owners, constitutionalists, libertarians, anyone who is anti-FED or anti-taxation, anti-NWO, and even anti-big government (etc) (see official training guides such as the MIAC Report and news from last few years [2008-2013; see: http://www.constitution.org/abus/le/miac-strategic-report.pdf
and much more-'google' it...]) The list of so-called-extremists includes people who 'hoard' gold and silver, or who espouse the idea that people need 'real' money, not fiat fed reserve notes.

[b] The military, police, and 'security' forces have been trained and psychologically habituated to target 'everyday' citizens, including the young, the elderly, and even women (including pregnant women); those not usually associated with combat ('google' article[s] regarding "no hesitation" targets, such as http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/02/5113-shocking-dhs-spends-2-million-on-no-hesitation-civilian-targets/ )

c] There has been a 'purge' of late (I'd say ~2009-present), within the military (many top generals down to non-com officers+) and security forces, nationwide. Those who did not pass muster in a litmus test re: killing and/or confiscating weapons/assets from citizens were either reassigned to crap duty/areas, or were fired, or asked to resign, simply demotivated or made to be disinclined to remain or reenlist. Look it up. This is not well publicized, but it has indeed occurred. In addition, there has been a concerted effort to recruit 'less-than-acceptable' personnel into leadership positions (those who will be in charge of the martial law enforcement). These such leaders will have certain personalities and character flaws which make them excellent enforcers of the inevitable, upcoming tyranny. We already know how Nazi/communist/'rebel' and/or tribal/religious leaders were and are able to carry out seemingly insane and horrendous acts in recent and not-so-far distant times. (eg., "I was simply following orders…"?). Recall that thousands, if not millions, were/are being killed or maimed by beheading, machete attacks, etc. right NOW, and in recent past in the middle east and Africa.

The military has already lowered their standards drastically, and one may not realize that they are able to enlist felons, those that have not even completed a marginal HS graduation level of education, and of course, non-citizens. They are proposing to include 'illegal' aliens (undocumented children of undocumented foreigner parents) under the DREAM program. Yes, it's true, I was surprised to learn this in the course of recent researches. Other domestic security forces and agencies have likely been purged of the good people, and refilled with less-than-optimal types, as well. It is well-documented that the police force[s] do not want anybody with 100 or better [this is the mean, or average] IQ score; those with higher intelligence ask too many questions, or will resist unconstitutional orders. (See also RE: TSA actively recruiting 'imperious' personnel  http://www.infowars.com/tsa-brags-about-creating-imperious-security-team/)

The result of the foregoing is that those who would likely question or refuse orders that are clearly unconstitutional, or even immoral, have been eliminated from the ranks, or are likely on their way out of the security forces that will engage citizens in a martial law scenario. A key factor in losing life, limb, liberty, and property, would you not agree?

2) The PRISM and other data gathering systems have been spying on all of us for many years; their data and algorithm analyses are meant to identify target individuals & groups from the population, and it is nearly certain that any gold or silver purchases made within the past decade or so could be filtered and identified, thus identifying those who own (and might transport) precious metals. This is the kind of stuff they are REALLY looking for--it's not really 'terrorists' they are looking for, based upon the criteria groups listed [see above]. Once identified as being a member of any said groups or categories, or as a 'hoarder', for example, [see above], you will be detained, and searched, and anything you have would be confiscated [probably would end up FEMA-camped].

3) Being a person of interest from the (nearly all-encompassing) lists, and the fact that 'they' can locate and track nearly anyone, anywhere, it is unlikely that one would be able to "skip town" or to hide, in this day and age. One would have to be immersed with the knowledge and capabilities that truly exist today, and in the security countermeasures and extremes one would have to go to, in order to evade security measures in place to prevent detection and detainment. This doesn't include the average American.

4) Under martial law, any entrance or egress into or from any area, or city, would be limited, via checkpoints or other barriers. Thus, it is unlikely one would be able to move assets from one place to another. Realistically, this could be done beforehand, and one's assets might be concealed and secured with some [high] level of preparations. Again, however, one must be TOTALLY sure that there are no extant records or traceable accounts of ANY such assets which might lead to their discovery. This means that one must have paid cash to a trusted individual who did not, would not, or will not report it to anyone, or that could not be traced via ANY electronic or paper trail, in any manner. Again, this leads us to the capabilities of the massive data-gathering 'security' agencies, and their multi-billion $$ processing centers, set up to cross-reference seemingly or overtly unrelated data points re: transactions, via powerful algorithms. As alluded to (above), this is one of the real, or main, purposes of their spy grid, not tracking 'terrorists'*

*'They' know who and where the so-called 'terrorists' are, because they fund and support them (now even openly admitted; see re: Al Quieda, Muslim Brotherhood, and Taliban--contracts openly with US gov., and news re: arming and financial support of said groups (see/'google' also re: Operation Gladio &/or Gladio B, etc.)

In the past, there were extremely limited means for the gov. to know and track your assets, and especially precious metals like gold and silver. This is not true of our current situation. In fact, there are indeed reporting requirements re: sales of same. (see http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/12.12/sellgold.html for a fairly concise article delineating the current reporting rules). Currently, not ALL sales, and smaller transactions, are generally exempted. However, despite claims that not all sales are reportable, there remain reporting requirements for profits, regardless of the source or what is bought/sold (IRS). One must realize that all transactions likely involve profit, so, in effect, SOMEONE is/has/will report any profit, either buying or selling. This COULD be a data point of interest to TPTB (the powers that be), and one which might converge with other data points, upon any particular person or corporate entity. For example, Bob's Coin Shop reports a profit selling $500.00 worth of silver to 'Joe Blow'; This data point links the two, and Joe's records could then be searched to show a withdrawal of $500 from his bank, or via credit card transaction, and so on, (etc). Consider that multiple sources can now be collated and converged to paint an extended picture of any such transaction; phone records and conversations, emails, bank and credit transactions, and so on…

This is the TRUE danger and one of the true reasons behind the massive data gathering that has been undergone, and is ongoing, by our gubment agencies. They can, and they will, use it for purposes that are unstated (and they always say everything is for our safety and security--aren't they sweet?), such as identifying the 'extremist Christians, Libertarians, pro-lifers, anti-big governmenters, and even 'real money' advocates who would likely have some [real money]. They ('banksters' & globalist 'elites') mean to destroy the middle class and confiscate all wealth and resources not currently pilfered.

The confiscatory nature of TPTB are quite evident to anyone, given one peruse and recognize the trends in laws and edicts spewed forth from our current dictator and his congressional minions. Note that 'they' already passed transaction reporting requirements as low as $600.00 (especially aimed at gold/silver/bullion sales) in their proposed 1099 addendum to the Healthcare Act [yeah, and health care has WHAT to do with this?]. This was discovered and repealed, fortunately. However, one must recognize by this attempt that it is their INTENT to quash free trade of real money and assets, or at least for such to be made reportable. Furthermore, the emergency powers enacted via the patriot act, NDAA, and presidential edicts (executive orders) in recent years is irrefutable proof that they can and will take over all resources, business, industry, transportation, food, water, etc., during any instance that they want to declare is an 'emergency'.

You describe a situation in which martial law is declared. Given the above, do you still believe that you can simply skip town and hide out for a while with your assets? If the gubment doesn't get you/it, will the hoards or starving masses, or rogue groups of looters miss you too? Will you be able to 'beat' the security grid that has already been established, or the checkpoints, electronic and satellite tracking, and/or drone surveillance? The telephone, email, and 'smart' grid system monitoring you inside your own home--the x-boxes, cable boxes, smart tvs/cameras/appliances or on your own computer? Man, I wish you luck in that. 

In conclusion, your beliefs are not based upon the new reality of the surveillance state we have let become established, and the sick bustards that run the show, on many levels… the system is rigged against us, in so many ways that are not even included herein. What I can say is simply "WELCOME TO AMERIKA! WAKE UP!"

The Total Systemic Takeover

[Note: a) this article mirrors my commentary article on Prison Planet AKA , Planet Infowars, at:

http://planet.infowars.com/resistance/the-total-systemic-takeover , and b) some few additional edits thereto ]

The time has come to openly express the outrage that has been welling up in each and every American, following generations of deceit, obfuscation, and crimes against humanity, the American people, and the principles of our Constitution. That is, given the recent and rapid devolution of governmental rhetoric, policies, and actions [both covert and overt], it must now be clearly self-evident to all that the leadership of our republic has been overtaken by a cabal of  fascists, bent on the total destruction of America and our way of life.

However, this phenomenon is extended to all peoples, on a global level. The ‘powers that be’ can only be motivated by evil, and greed, and hatred for all Mankind. Furthermore, their intent becomes manifest via their actions, revealing the underlying  influences. Upon true examination, these can only be attributed as demonic, or satanic, in origin, regardless of the human characters that carry out the deeds. A minute group of so-called ‘elites’ have been influenced to facilitate a global takeover of the USA; in doing so, they threaten all of Mankind…

It is imperative that we now rise to the occasion, and gather, for the purpose of throwing off the mantle of oppression and tyranny, under which we have long been suffering:

a) Too long have we endured the suppression of our civil, constitutional, and God-given liberties. The people will no longer tolerate the maintenance of a civilian paramilitary force to impede our free movement and suppress our right to gather, speak, and protest. A ‘free-speech zone’ exists wherever an American stands, not someplace where it is convenient for usurpers to hide us from view. We do not accept the egregious and unlawful search and seizures that are now commonplace. Neither can we accept  constant breaches in our privacy via the enormous spy grid set up to impinge upon nearly everything we do, everywhere we go, and with regard to our communications. This is not allowed in a nation of sovereign peoples. Nor is the regulation or infringement of our right to keep and bear arms, and other inalienable rights. These rights are inherent to Man, not given as a privilege of government.

b) Too long have we suffered the financial usurpations of the private Federal Reserve the ‘banksters’, and their governmental enforcement agency, the Internal Revenue Service, and their manipulations of our economy, our industry, and our personal incomes. Fettered by their  unlawful practices and secretive policies, we have become a nation of bondslaves. They have instituted legalized robbery of the common man, in order that a small number of elitist bankers become wealthy from our labors, while paying no taxes on their profits, and beholding to nobody.

The establishment of a central bank was expressly prohibited in our constitution, as was direct taxation of the citizens. These prohibitions must be restored, and the institutions abolished forever. The wealth and power of these shadowy corporations have infiltrated our system of government, promoting fascism and destroying our republic through their control of money and, thereby, our elections. We now have no real choices, and are simply stuck with whomever they deem  worthy of their (corporate) financial support. We must strive to remove all financial incentives and influence from our political system. Corporations are not people, and private corporations are not government institutions.

These corporate entities are owned and operated by a secret cabal of individuals, whose self-serving intents and purposes are purposefully undisclosed. However, it is now apparent that they intend to dissolve the sovereign nations of the world, in order to supplant their own version of a unified, totalitarian, worldwide government. Using their corporate infrastructures, they intend to control the entire world’s sources of food, water, and resources, in order to both dominate  and enslave all peoples, and all nations. It is a system which is inherently evil, and anti-human.

By subversion and devious manipulations, and through deceptions of all kinds, they influence our thoughts, our societies, and our cultures; they are evil by nature, and wicked by design. They have led us on the path to our own destruction, and we have, thus far, consented to follow. We must now recognize them for who and what they are, and resist their continued influence. We must throw off their chains of bondage, and we must hesitate no longer in doing so. Our very lives depend upon it, for if we fail, we have no future but sorrow, destruction, and death. Our children will suffer the sins of their fathers, now indebted slaves before they are even born.

c) Too long have we tolerated the warmongering, the overt invasion of sovereign nations without declaration of war, and the covert destabilization of foreign lands, for the purpose of profits gained by the military-industrial complex. We give up our blood and treasure so that a few corporate elitists can reap unending profits, in extended, but undeclared, wars. We have become slaves to the war pigs, and have sold our progeny into slavery, in order to repay the debts that they continue to accumulate, without either constitutional authority or public support.

We are feared and hated in foreign lands for their unlawful actions, and the brutalities that we heap upon them result in untold measures of human suffering and death. We have destroyed the stability and the infrastructures of many lands, and many peoples, over the past decades. This is neither the intent nor the purpose of the average American; if we realized what horrors we visit upon these people, by proxy, we would surely put an end to it. We must recognize the impact of our military might, and restrain it. We, as a people, should be ashamed of what we have allowed our ‘representatives’ to do, and we should profess our apologies to the affected populations. We should strive to avoid foreign entanglements in future.

The criminal acts of those sent to do ‘our’ bidding have fomented hate and derision of Americans across the globe. The illegal use of extraconstitutional detention, of torture and coercion, the  ‘black’ ops, and the killing of innocent civilians has become the rule, expressly condoned by successive administrations. This is totally unacceptable to all freedom-loving Americans, as well as to those peoples of foreign countries. These activities are simply un-American.

Due to our lack of diligence and protestations, it is apparent that our government is now emboldened to use such tactics upon American citizens, without regard to due process. In this case, consent is implied by our silence. This will not be tolerated. The rule of law must be restored. If left intact, this system will facilitate the further enslavement and persecution of law-abiding Americans, not criminals or 'terrorists'. The shadow government and their surveillance systems must be outlawed, dismantled, and prosecuted. Corroborators and collaborators at all (local, state, and federal) levels should be exposed, arrested, and also prosecuted.

Our corporate media are accomplices in the crimes against humanity. Their reports are sanitized, and their lack of independent coverage puts blinders upon the public eyes. We see and hear only that which the current regime allows—it is a state-run media. We must re-establish independent [and public, 'mainstream' ] media services to act as our watchdogs, and empower the people with knowledge and truth, instead of ignorance and deceit. Willing Corroborators and collaborators from within the state media, at all levels, should be exposed, arrested, and then prosecuted for their treasonous actions.

d) Too long have we abided the deception of governmental terrorism and deceitful propaganda, meant to rob us of our liberties, under the false pretenses of ‘national security’. There are no ‘terrorists’, except those covertly created, supported, and maintained by governments and our media. Including our own. There are neither sinister groups of foreign or domestic ‘radicals’ nor ‘extremists’ or ’terrorists’ who are bent on our destruction. Nor are any such fabled entities capable of invading or destroying our country. That  is simply an illusion of propaganda, invented to produce fear, and used as a rationale for taking our rights, in exchange for promised ‘security’ and safety. Recall Ben Franklin's words [paraphrased] regarding same; people who give up their liberties for perceived safety deserve neither.

Through investigative disclosures and declassifications, it is now well-established that the vast majority of  the so-called ‘terrorist’ events of the recent past were implemented covertly by operators of our own government[s]. We now openly contract with and employ ‘terrorists’ from Al Queda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Taliban—wait, aren’t these our so-called 'enemies'? Apparently, they are now our allies or our proxies, used to destabilize an important oil resource region. Did they not use these groups as a basis for usurping our rights? WTF? Indeed, every war or military action initiated by our government in the past century [and more] was based upon lies and deceit; again, for the benefit of the war-pig profiteers.

We have nothing to fear except the deceitful manipulations by our own government, acting as surrogates for the globalist fascists who control the politicians through money, power, and coercion. Their assertions that we must exchange our liberties for their protection are patently false. They cannot protect us any better than we can protect ourselves. Furthermore, insofar as we are aware, they have not protected us from any perceived 'terrorist' attacks, and they never will. Besides, it is fairly certain that any such attacks would be a function of our own proxies--it is a total farce and a deception, used only as a means to strip us of our liberty. Moreover, once we give up our liberties, we will end up sacrificing our own lives in their defense.

Take for example the Boston bombings; there were record numbers of police, myriad covert ‘drill’ operators, bomb sniffing dogs, and so on. Did they prevent the ‘attack’? No. In fact, it was most likely staged by them, in order to support their excuse to implement initiation of their martial law plan--and further erode our liberties. Look what they did. Since then, there are increasingly more instances of similar usurpations; warrantless searches and seizures, checkpoints, cavity searches, and so on. This is psychological and physical rape of our country’s people and their souls. Tear down the blockades and assert clearly that our Constitution remains alive--in us!

e) Too long have we endured the overt and covert poisoning of our bodies and our lands, via chemical/genetic pollution by the technocratic fascists in both government and industry. We trusted our government to protect us with the various ‘alphabet’ agencies; they have never protected us; but instead, are an instrument for profits, at our expense. We mean nothing to the elitist bastards we allowed to take charge of our health and safety. They pass through a revolving door of corporate-governmental bureaucracy, with obvious conflicts of interest; Taylor. the former VP of Monsanto is our ‘food’ czar—and—currently E. Holdren is the ‘science’ czar, who espoused forced sterilization and chemical additives to our food and water supplies since the ’70s. They poison our food, water, and environment with known harmful chemicals and processes like genetic modifications of natural plants and animals, poisoning us and all our surroundings. Look around you; Fluoride, BPA, food additives, hormones, antibiotics, microwave RF, andGMOs—this insanity must be stopped, and the purveyors tried and punished! The future of our species is in dire risk; animal tests show that consuming GMO food alone produces 99.x% sterility—achieved by the third generation! (look it up!) Realize that the policies being implemented by our own government result in the fact that we are being erased. This is not by accident. WAKE UP! Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and microwave frequencies combine to produce a population of dumbed-down, passive, and CONTROLLABLE drones…

f) Too long have we endured the overt and covert poisoning of our minds, our culture, and our social institutions, including our educational and religious systems. THESE HAVE ALL BEEN INFILTRATED AND TAKEN OVER FROM THE INSIDE. They have ruined our families, suppressed our religion[s], and eliminated all just and honorable thinking via subversive ‘politically correct’ propaganda programs. They have killed millions of unborn through legalized murders, by abortion. They have eliminated free thought and intelligence via the dumbing-down, UN-sponsored, core curriculum and the federalizing of our educational systems, nationwide. These functions and responsibilities were constitutionally left to the individual states and peoples—not federally or globally! Take back our children’s learning and sociocultural training! We don’t want our children to be brainwashed wards of the state. It has failed to educate; instead, it creates moldable drones suitable for corporate slavery. If we do not produce intelligent people, will we simply be able to rely on some other people to develop the future’s technology? We are being excluded from the future...

g) Too long have we endured the suppression and elimination of all our industrial and manufacturing capabilities, as a function of lies and so-called ‘free trade’ deals. All our industry has been shipped to foreign lands, for profit, leaving us devoid of jobs, and with no economic future except debt, bankruptcy, and dependence on government handouts—real slavery, for real Americans. We are all deep in debt, on all levels—we are debt slaves, and we have effectively been trained to CONSUME. The result of our losses is that the USA is no longer is capable of self-sufficiency, and depends upon imports for EVERYTHING. This is a national security violation, and explicitly illustrates how our politicians have sold us all out to the globalist elites. We have no industry—we have no manufacturing base—we cannot even produce our own military items. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING—CHINA MAKES ‘OUR’ MILITARY COMPONENTS? YUP. WAKE UP. They have taken away our sovereignty and supplanted global slavery and dependence. Contrary to our beliefs, we are no longer a strong people, nor a strong nation—and we are now ripe for the harvest by our globalist oppressors. WAKE UP!

The list goes on and on. It is a total systemic takeover. If we go along any further, ‘they’ will institute their global government and complete the one-world government, issuing in a prophesized system for the antichrist to usurp humanity, on a global level. This only leads to death and destruction on a level previously unknown. We have all been deceived. This has been accomplished by means of slowly habituating changes, which are below the threshold of just-noticable differences, a mechanism  built in to our human systems for survival. When the tyranny and oppression becomes so obvious, and too much to tolerate, it will simply be too late to overcome. WE MUST WAKE UP NOW, AND ACT IN OUR OWN BEST INTERESTS, AS A PEOPLE AND AS A NATION, AND AS HUMANS; THE END IS NIGH, AND THE DEMONS ARE POSSESSING THE WORLD. We, as a nation, must repent, and pray for mercy from the Almighty. He is the only one who can save us.
