congress was threatened with martial law if bailout wasn't passed

Congressman Brad Sherman from California has revealed that some Congresspeople were told that if they voted against the bailout, martial law would be declared in the US.

Watch the video. Then put it in in context.

Remember that, for years, Congress has operated under "martial law" provisions which force Congress members to vote on legislation without having time to adequately read and review it.

Remember also that the U.S. has been in a declared state of national emergency for 7 years, and normal constitutional provisions were probably long ago superseded.

As University of California Berkeley Professor Emeritus Peter Dale Scott has warned:

"The systems of checks and balances established by the U.S. Constitution would seem to be failing.

To put it another way, if the White House is successful in frustrating [Congress' requests], then [the declared state of emergency] has arguably already superseded the Constitution as a higher authority."

And remember that U.S. troops are being stationed inside the U.S. to suppress "civil unrest". [See original for linkage.]

Put this in context of many of the themes of this blog, especially election fraud and the movement towards fascism. Then remember what Naomi Klein says about becoming "shock resistant".

Put it in context of this old post.

How many more of these signs will people explain away, as they wear their Obama buttons and act like an election will fix the problem?

How much more blatant does it have to get?
