11. in my gut, I feel this will doubtless happen, regardless of what we do. this admin
has ALWAYS USED any new power grab immediately and without oversight, as soon as they self-legislate its ok to do so.
previous examples:

NSA illegal wiretaps
Torture of detainees
rescinding of habeas corpus


etc.


my point is that they never ever WAIT to see if a situation warrants the new power they've earmarked, they use it IMMEDIATELY and often are acting retroactively to excuse behavior already occurring.

this is why I fear we will see martial law here after another false flag event, because they worked so hard to set up all the markers in the correct alignment to do so.

I can't see them setting up a possible dicatorship and then NOT availing themselves of that power. Do you?
