Martial Law in the United States: How Likely is it, and What will happen under Martial law?



from Off Grid Survival:
The march towards martial law is something that is often ignored by the general public, often labeled as Quackery or something belonging on conspiracy websites. But what’s happening in this country is exactly what our founders warned us about, and martial law is something they took very, very seriously.
What is martial law?
If you’re looking for a definition, then Martial Law basically means using state or national military force to enforce the will of the government on the people.
Under a declaration of martial law, Constitutional freedoms and liberties are suspended, and civilians are no longer entitled to their civil rights. It basically allows the government, or a tyrannical politician, to shred the Constitution and impose its will through military force.

Jade Helm Begins: “Massive Direct Training for Future Civil Unrest in America”

by Alex Thomas, SHTFPlan:
After months of speculation, the controversial multi-state urban military training drill known as Jade Helm is set to begin today in what many believe is direct training for future civil unrest in America.
From the very moment the military announced the training, complete with multiple states listed as “hostile”, the alternative media and freedom minded individuals across the country began to expose its possible real intentions.
Right on the que the corporate controlled mainstream media went to work attacking critics of Jade Helm as crazed conspiracy theorists and possible racists.

Tennessee Woman Arrested For Printing Money: "All These Other Bitches Get To Print Money So I Can Too"

In what is either the best example why one should never believe anything they read on the internet, or just blatant frontrunning of the last QE by a few years, earlier this week a woman from Kingsport, Tennessee was arrested for counterfeiting money. Her justification: she read online that President Barack Obama made a new law allowing her to print her own money.  "I don't give a ****, all these other bitches get to print money so I can too."
 

 


Greek Banks Just Became A "Strong Sell" At Any Price

Even as Greek banks, severely depleted of cash and eligible collateral they can post with the ECB, stand to fight another day (and potentially face more withdrawals as soon as the Greek banks reopen supposedly on Monday) thanks to another €900 million liquidity infusion, investors in Greek bank shares will be less lucky: "to ensure a new bailout, investors in the country’s banks faced the prospect of their holdings being "wiped out" under the terms of a €25 billion recapitalization plan."




If Greek Banks Are "Fixed" Thanks To Draghi - Then Why Is This Happening?

When we noted that Greek banks would re-open Monday - thanks to gracious handout from The ECB, we questioned how much faith depositors would have? It appears, given the 4% tumble in National Bank of Greece ADRs that, judging by investors, that 'faith' won't last very long...

Why A Third Greek Bailout Is A Bad Idea

Last Sunday, Eurozone countries submitted yet another ultimatum to Greece: implement a whole round of reforms, from eliminating early retirement over scrapping exemptions from sales tax to opening shops on Sunday, and we’ll start negotiations on providing a new bailout of possibly €86bn from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), the Eurozone’s bailout scheme, which will carry yet another series of strings attached. As Finland’s Foreign Minister Timo Soini said this week about the idea of a third Greek bailout round: “the Finnish public can’t understand that this is allowed to continue”. Can anyone else?

In Troubling Sign, Ford Now Offers $10,000 Discounts On New F-150 Pickups

When oil priced tumbled last year it was supposed to be a major boon for car sales and, indeed, courtesy of car loans whose  rejections rates have never been lower and with LTVs for loans on used cars sold to subprime borrowers now a record high 150%, some such as government-favorite GM benefited greatly, with sales of Chevy Silverado jumping a solid 18.4% June. Others, however, have been struggling: sales of Ford's top-selling and most profitable line, the aluminum-bodied F-150, were down 8.9% last month as Ford's market share of big-pickup trucks dropped to 28% from 33% one year ago.  Ford's response: a huge push to incentivize buyers, in the form of discounts that can exceed $10,000!

Janet Yellen's "Unleash The Liz Warren" Senate Testimony Day 2: - Live Feed

Yesterday she faced the wrath of Hensarling and Duffy in her Congressional hearing, today Fed Chair Janet Yellen pops over to The Senate. We suspect the rhetoric will be a little less aggressive as traders are interested to see if she walks back her comments yesterday that appeared to signal more hawkish "sooner" rate hikes. Of course, the main event will be when Elizabeth Warren is unleashed...



Debt Is The Barbarous Relic! Not Gold

Owning gold is saving, which by definition is civilized, i.e. NOT barbarous. Debt, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. It is a lack of savings that shows a complete disregard for the future. It is the modern equivalent of gorging on some wild beast with no thought to tomorrow’s meal… or in this case, no thought of tomorrow’s generation. Debt is the barbarous relic. Not gold. And governments are up to their eyeballs in it, continuing to engage in this primitive, uncivilized behavior with wanton abandon.



Here Comes The Oil Glut: First Iranian Oil Tanker Sets Sail

Amid what is being reported as worrying discrepancies between the U.S. and Iranian interpretations of what had been agreed, an Iranian supertanker with 2 million barrels of oil is on its way to Asia after sitting in Iranian waters for months, likely to be the first vessel holding floating excess stocks to sail after the nuclear deal.



Icahn Vs. Fink: Wall Street Legends Clash Over "Dangerous" ETFs

On Wednesday, Carl Icahn and Larry Fink engaged in an epic debate about the role ETFs play in perpetuating systemic risk. Icahn, taking a page from the Tyler Durden playbook, talks phantom liquidity before calling BlackRock "a dangerous company", and opining that Fink and Janet Yellen are "pushing the damn thing off a cliff."



3 Things: Retail, NFIB, Divergences

As with all data, none of these data points suggests that the economy, or the markets, will immediately plunge into a recessionary contraction. However, what is important to consider is that many of these data points are now converging and suggesting that risk is more elevated now than at any point since the financial crisis. It is at least worth thinking about.

NYSE Shut Down Confirms: The END Could Come Like A Thief in the Night

by SGT, SGT Report.com:



SGT Report welcomes fellow truth-teller and REAL NEWS pundit Dave from X22 Report for an in-depth conversation about the unprecedented 4-hour shut down of the New York Stock Exchange last week.
Dave and I agree that if the NYSE can shut down for half a day for no good reason, it proves that the END of our precarious financial system could come like a thief in the night – with NO warning at all.
We also focus on the real enemies of humanity – nope, not Osama, Al Qaeda or ISIS, but the Banksters and their friends who create and fund such organizations.
There’s a lot here to chew on, so grab an adult beverage, your favorite snack and kick back. X22 Report is here.

Greece: Sound and Fury Signifying Much

from Paul Craig Roberts:
All of Europe, and insouciant Americans and Canadians as well, are put on notice by Syriza’s surrender to the agents of the One Percent. The message from the collapse of Syriza is that the social welfare system throughout the West will be dismantled.
The Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has agreed to the One Percent’s looting of the Greek people of the advances in social welfare that the Greeks achieved in the post-World War II 20th century. Pensions and health care for the elderly are on the way out. The One Percent needs the money.
The protected Greek islands, ports, water companies, airports, the entire panoply of national patrimony, is to be sold to the One Percent. At bargain prices, of course, but the subsequent water bills will not be bargains.

Credit deflation and gold

by Alasdair Macleod, Gold Money:
There is a common view in financial markets that credit deflation is bad for gold prices, because gold nowadays is regarded as an asset to be sold in the scramble for cash when people are forced to pay down their debts.
When asked by Congressman Ron Paul his opinion on gold four years ago, Ben Bernanke replied it was not money, just another asset, appearing to confirm this view.
Doubtless Bernanke’s view is shared by nearly all other central bankers in the advanced economies and by executives in the banks which have profited handsomely from monetary and credit inflation. But it is not shared by the majority of ordinary savers around the world who see it still as the ultimate store of value at a time of fiat currency inflation. For them, gold is the money to save, driven out of circulation by inferior currencies. We know this to be true throughout Asia where the bulk of the world’s population lives; but even millions of ordinary Americans continue to accumulate silver eagles because they still recognise the monetary attributes of precious metals.

DEBT is the barbarous relic. Not gold.

from Sovereign Man:
“The first form of culture,” wrote historian Will Durant, “is agriculture.”
And he was right. When human beings discovered 10,000 years ago that the soil would provide more food than they could possibly eat, this changed everything.
For the first time ever, early humans could actually work WITH nature and reliably control their food production.
They were no longer dependent on unpredictable wildlife or the dangers of the hunt.
Nor were they resigned to devouring an entire beast in one sitting, only to end up right back where they started– in search of their next meal.

The First Day of the Great American Purge

by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
Today, is the first “official” day of Jade Helm. This is beginning of the Great American Purge.
Since mid-March, I have written over 100 articles, have done 85 interviews and I have also interviewed such notables as Steve Quayle, John B. Wells, Paul Martin, Doug Hagmann and former Army Special Operations Officer, Scott Bennett. and it now time to to recap what I have learned in this time.
For the past three years, I stated that a precipitous false flag operation(s) would take down the American economy necessitating the need for martial law. However, I have always been quick to point out that martial law was merely a means to obliterate the Constitution so the American people would be powerless to refuse to fight in the megabankers final war of economic and political unification as well as having that war to serve as an instrument of depopulation.

Army Switching to Hollow Point Ammunition for “Humanitarian Reasons”

from The Daily Sheeple:
In a surprising policy shift it hadn’t so much as considered for over 100 years, the U.S. Army will likely be switching to hollow point pistol ammunition for its next generation handgun.
The Pentagon’s commitment to full metal jacket, or ball ammunition, had been a standard in line with the 1899 Hague Convention, which banned the use of bullets that “expand or flatten easily” inside the human body—as they were thought to cause excessive, and therefore inhumane, injury. But the U.S. has never ratified that agreement—and remains the only major world power that hasn’t done so.

Euro Summit Statement Brussels, 12 July 2015
The Euro Summit stresses the crucial need to rebuild trust with the Greek authorities [i.e. the Greek government must introduce new stringent austerity directed at the weakest Greeks that have already suffered grossly] as a pre- requisite for a possible future agreement on a new ESM programme [i.e. for a new extend-and-pretend loan].

‘Plan B’ Needed As Euro One Recession Away From Implosion – David McWilliams

from Gold Core:
McWilliams, who is among the best economics commentators from the only Anglophone nation in the euro – Ireland, warns that we only have a few months to plan an alternative to the disastrous consequences on peripheral nations of what he sees as German hegemony.
He describes the mismanagement of the euro currency as “both laughable and terrifying”.
Marathon negotiation sessions are not conducive to clear headed, rational decision making on the future of a nation or the eurozone. Indeed, it smacks of coercion.
