Is Martial Law Coming to a State Near You?
I have repeatedly written articles about the complete disregard for the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's as well as the disregard for the United States Constitution by elected officials in this State.
Today, however, Massachusetts goes above and beyond into what can only be viewed as a true case of Big Brother knocking down the doors of American citizens.
Today, by a vote of 113-36, the Massachusetts's House voted to grant the State's Governor the ability to force residents into mandatory vaccination in the event the Governor feels so inclined. It also grants him the right to declare martial law, to allow law officials the right to force themselves into a home without a warrant and to "contain" people for refusal to receive vaccinations.
The bill also allows the State government to limit supply and distribution of antitoxins, serums, vaccines and antibiotics if it feels it is necessary, quarantine large areas of people and it mandates pharmacists report increases in antibiotic prescriptions.
Public health officials would be given full ability to obtain private medical records to investigate or monitor what the State views as an "outbreak."
This just might be the turning stone in this State and opposition to the State's disregard of our Constitution is growing. The Senate has approved an even more stringent law and Governor Patrick (who stands with an approval rating the hovers between 18 and 20%) says he will sign the version presented to him when the House and the Senate propose their combined bill. How mighty American of him.
It is possible that this bill was pushed through today to hide today's testimony by fiscal experts stating Massachusetts is in much deeper water than forecasted and the State may fall $600 million shy of its projected tax collections forcing more budget cuts. (Universal coverage is bankrupting this State.)
Massachusetts is clearly setting a new precedence by forcing through the most unconstitutional legislation in history.
This comes on the back of the complete partisan override of the 2004 law that Democrat's passed taking away Republican Governor Romney's right to appoint a Senator for John Kerry's possible vacant Senate seat. They reversed the law last month (and Patrick gleefully signed off) to allow the now Democratic Governor to appoint Ted Kennedy's replacement after his death so that President Obama would have his necessary Senate seats to push his Cap and Trade and Healthcare legislation through.
It was a truly dark day on the Hill today. In the city where Paul Revere announced the coming of the "Regulators for King George of England" on his "Midnight Ride" and our founders fought for freedom, we now have a Legislature and a Governor who could make King George truly proud of his conquest.
I can tell you what Paul Revere would be yelling today if he were to once again take to the Freedom Trail... "VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT!!!!"
Of course... he'd never make it in Massachusetts today...he'd be stopped (and taxed) by the State of Massachusetts long before making it to Lexington.

I am surprised that the White House did not time the release of the H1N1 Vaccine with the Rose Garden Press Conference and all the Doctors in their White Robes. It would have been great to see Nancy Pelosi, Barney and all of the Congress get their vaccines in unison.
When is this guy Deval Patrick up for re-election? This guy needs to get booted out as quickly as the next election. I hope that the people in Mass are paying as much attention you are.

2010. There is no strong republican contender thus far.
I'm not - I'm VERY vocal. I'll be the first to be locked up.
State laws are still required to conform to the United States Constitution; states have many rights, but suspending the Constitutional rights of it's citizens isn't among them. I'm hoping there will be a class action suit against the state and the legislature.

Police nation? Over the FLU???
http://www.bighorncountynews.com/editorial.html
What a wild ride
I’ve heard it all now, and what a conspiracy theory it has become.
In the last couple of days, people from around the country have been calling and e-mailing me with stories that make Hardin look like something from an episode of Twilight Zone.
Some of the lies that are floating around out there are so strange they I cannot believe that any rational human being could believe such garbage.
Let’s take a look at perhaps the most widely circulated e-mail to claim that Hardin was under martial law.
According to that e-mail, 12 black Mercedes SUVs rolled into town sporting Hardin Police Department logos.
There were only three, and yes, they did have police department decals. From a public relations standpoint it was a disaster, and APF probably realized that.
The e-mail goes on to say that a private security force is already patrolling the town. They had several people stopped yesterday. Also, it appears that they are building some type of heavy duty gate at the entrances of our town.
The email also said, “I am also told by a reliable source that today one of the managers at a local business in Hardin was visited by this new private security force which is now the new Hardin Police Department. He is an avid hunter and they came to inform him that they had a list of all firearms that he owned; this includes all the residents of our town, and that he would need to take his guns down to have them put a marking device on them.”
Would the businessman that said that please step forward?
Doesn’t anyone believe in getting facts before they spout a bunch of garbage?
One of the articles being e-mailed around the country about Hardin said, “In an interview with one of the city council members, he stated that this new H1N1 shot which has not been tested will be mandatory and if a resident of our town refuses, they will be taken to our prison where they will be quarantined.”
I doubt one of the city’s council members said this, but if one did would he or she please step forward?
This whole situation is warped.

As usual, people are overreacting to the possibility of a pandemic. People seem to be terrified that anyone who isn't vaccinated for H1N1 is going to spread it to the rest of the population.
I don't think I've had a flu shot for 30 years and I've never really gotten the flu. If I were told I had to be vaccinated, I would do my best to find out more. I do think some folks are overly frightened of almost everything involving the government; I'm very concerned at the proliferation of privately run prisons and private security forces like Blackwater.
The private sector does not do everything better. There are some things in which I would rather have civil servants, who at least are held back sometimes by public opinion.

To answer your question from the title, martial law is coming soon. That is why all TV's were switched to digital from analog so that law enforcement will not have any interference on their analog channels.
hmmm... interesting thought!!
This is very interesting for a couple of reasons and I think I detect a pattern . From what I can see the law "is designed to clarify the authority of government and the rights of citizens in the case of a public health crisis." So basically it comes into effect in a crisis situation and in that crisis situation the state assumes total authority, the complete monopoly on violence.
If you remember in 1984, the states exist in a state of perpetual warfare and that allows them to control their populations. The issue here is not just the law, but the fact that crises can be manufactured and people made to believe in them so that these laws can then come into effect.
It's like the terror threat. They (the powers that be) manufacture a threat to get people on board with a thing, and I think the Patriot act is an expression of this (I have no idea who's behind all this btw and this is just conjecture). I would say W4L, that the thing you should worry about is not so much the law, which you can do little to change (more's the pity) but be wary of being told about emergencies and and crises and giving into that narrative. That is dangerous.
If you think about it, all of us have learnt that this is the way power societies work; manufacture crises in order to bring in emergency powers, or then over-blow crises to do the same, but we very rarely believe it because we find it difficult to believe that there are actually people out there mad enough for power to do that; problem is that these people, these powerful sociopaths exist, and very rarely do they exist in the public view (Hitler was an exception). Tell me what you think of my little theory.

How about this remedy... wash your hands - cough or sneeze into your sleeve. If you're sick - STAY HOME!
I DO get the flu shot every year AND vaccinate my kids for it. The swine flu shot may have even been a consideration - until they suspended the mercury level allowance.
People should never be forced to inject ANYTHING into their bodies that is questionable.

Alright Elmiko - YOU just put the word out there that makes the whole thing un-American - thanks you.
In America - people are not FORCED into untested vaccinations.

they have indications on the effectiveness of it so its not entirely untested. it has similarities to a regular flu shot but some slight alterations. children are already required by law to get regular flu shots before attending school anyway. numbers wise it will get worse if people are not vaccinated. the country can't afford that.

And martial law is a good thing, too, I suppose? This is obscene, and all things considered, I continue to find good reasons for my decision to emigrate from the US to Israel.
This is not posting in the right spot - it is in response to Spike up top!
Exactly ... thank you for the comment. Yes, people are frightened of the thought of a spread of H1N1 but this is not the first time it has hit this country- but rather the third.
The State of Massachusetts giving one man the right to send police forceably into a home and then gather up those who refuse to do what they are told because of a state of emergency and that is a blanket troubling bill.
This has always been a State where the elected officals have breezed with ease, so to speak...until this year. People are growing in number against this - even Democrats think it went too far - and they are saying they will refuse any form of mandatory vaccine laws. It has not been fully tested, we are talking about our lives, our children's lives.
http://www.physorg.com/news172252051.html
last sentence: "...I do think that parents need to learn as much as they can about these issues in order to make the best decisions for their kids. With that said, here are some links that offer more details about vaccines and autism."
The CDC's vacciene has an alarming amount of thimerasol -which almost half mercury, and was rushed to distribution. While the CDC also claims that they are making a few without the ingrediant ... that number is limited.
Two things... Parents should never be forced to give their child a FLU vaccience. It is not the same as a polio shot and it does not always work - hence, increasing the danger to children. A few years ago the flu vacciene realeased was wrong. No one immunized had protection against the flu anyway the strain changed.
Then there is the issue of giving one man the power to make there decisions. THAT is without question - scary.

Its the economy, stupid! If the US succumbs to economic decline martial law on a national level is a possible outcome. I have seen both sides of American economy in DC, New York and LA. Homeless folks just a few blocks from the White House at McPherson Square was there 7-8 years back.
At this moment the US has tremendous leverage over others in R&D. And it is still far ahead of others in drawing immigrants. Consequently, the gloom scenario of democracy stifling martial law is very unlikely in the foreseeable future.
But the US may one day have to taste the bitter medicine the Republicans mostly had promoted worldwide to bludgeon democracy in so many developing countries!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Personal hygiene is the biggest safeguard against disease. The swine flu scare has to a certain extent been able to instill this concept in the teeming illiterate millions in the poorer countries. WHO should launch a more aggressive campaign on primary health care than billions spent on tertiary care. Smoking, lack of potable water, poor hygiene and grandiose armament hemorrhage poorer more than anything else.
Looks like things may have changed in Hardin, Mt...
