martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
I have been attempting to find uk gov policies on Martial law and wonder if and when the US s.h.t.f...will the UK bring in Martial Law aswell? I know the UK have tightened the "terrorist" laws since 9/11 but there is little evidence of camps in the U.K? Does anyone have a heads up on this>? Gordon Brown mentions the new world order alot in his speaches!! And we have no idea what goes on in terms of preparation for civilians in the untold Army bases around the U.K? What is peoples knowledge on this?

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
This is a very interesting question.
I lived in the US for several years and there is so much more emphasis placed on patriotism, children are forced to recite the pledge of allegiance from before they can read and its education system keeps the whole patriotic theme throughout. I think many Americans would do extraordinary things if they were made to believe it was the patriotic thing to do, the aftermath of 911 is a good example. But the UK do not have that same inbred patriotism and exist more as a collection of individuals than a collective of patriots so anything like martial law would be much more difficult to enforce, I tend to believe the military/police etc in the UK would lean more to acting by their own conscience if the shtf. As in the old Irish folksong.... "the love of one's country is a dangerous thing" |

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
thanks for the response pheonix. I appreciate it. Obviously with the new world order the clue is in the title , so we are all obviously going to be affected but how? If georgia stops Oil to europe then export will be affected and the supermarket shelves will be bear. If riots etc break out in the U.K there must be some kind of contigency plan? I am of the opinion that what happens in the U.S will be mirrored here as we are so interwoven.

Yes I think we get pretty much the same bag in the UK as the they will in the US. We have a similar setup to FEMA here in the UK too so i'm led to believe...

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
Hmmm, I just remembered something.....
Several years ago, an emergency planning "agency" was set up within local government here, I'm sure its the same throughout the UK. Luckily I have a friend who works there, I must go send an email...... |

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
Oh dear! I've spent ages trying to find the link, however - it was circulating that council special officers (ie traffic wardens etc) were being given black uniforms, and special powers to arrest/search people, even to be able to go into their homes. They have no police training, but have been issued with cards. One recipient, who asked what was going on was told to keep it quiet, but riots etc were being predicted very soon.
I haven't heard or seen any evidence of FEMA type camps here though. The potential for higher crime levels in the instance of food/money shortages due to financial crash is to be expected, especially in the cities. Therefore, be prepared and stock up on dried foods/veggies etc. At least they will always be useful. Dried pet food also. |

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
Are you referring to the recent change of traffic wardens to 'Civil Enforcement Officers'???

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
What about blackwater? Presumably, the NWO will just deploy "Law Enforcers" in the UK that already operate in the states? the UN "Law Enforcers"?

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
Throughout the whole of the cold war, no economic restrictions were put in place or energy movement restrictions relating to Russia. Its all fear more than anything else. These talks of threats about stopping the movement of oil would never happen.

Re: martial Law in the U.S = What for U.K?
Does anyone know what we might be facing if and when these guys declare martial law? Wht will our days and nights be like? Will everyone be hauled in for some kind of questioning, tagging, etc, etc.? I would like to know so I can be prepared.
