FBI program alleged to prepare businesses for martial law »
Posted By Aidenag 8 months, 1 week ago in NewsToday, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials.

Per this article, businesses get warnings of terrorists, in some events, even before elected officials, and they are advised to "shoot to kill".
That's scary as hell, and i am so glad i am retired and no longer in the work force. How would an employer KNOW who is and who isn't a terrorist, and being advised to shoot to kill, and are probably told to shoot first and ask questions later.
Are we regressing to vigalante days, will everyone have a 6 shooter straped to their legs? Is this where the Bush admin has taken us, back in time? Good Lord!

A terrorist is the guy who cut you off in traffic and you wrote down his license and as an Infragard you can have him declared a threat to your immediate infrastructure, during martial law, and have him shot.
That is a terrorist.
(Also anyone who questions this administration is now LEGALLY a terrorist.) And congress NO LONGER HAS THE POWER TO IMPEACH HIM.
It's getting close, folks.

The NRA has compromised it's position over the years - gave in to many gun control efforts. The SC is scheduled to hear a case and vote on the true interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. BushCo wants the SC to throw the case back to a lower court. I can only guess that the BushCo is afraid that the SC will vote thumbs'-up.
In any case, one of the key factors in martial law is to take guns off of everybody.

And then there are the little seminars for the clergy to teach them how to handle their congregations should martial law be declared. Is there a pattern here? Will we actually have an election or will the current administration crown itself in a program we are all forced to watch? Scary stuff.
We know we cannot trust the government, the corporations or the media. We need a tea party. NOW!

In a historical sense, there is often a long period of time between the totalitarian takeover (Fascist, Communist, dictatorial, whatever) and the eventual revolution.
The United States could make history again, by responding to fascism at home by a swift and utter... (looking for an appropriate term)... REPUDIATION of tyranny.
In order for that to happen, we must rely on our military, they must very quickly realize that they have a higher duty than to obey orders.

My God!!! This sounds like the heirarchy of a private gestapo. Those with so much money and power to lose they would do anything to keep it. They have the right to shoot to kill? Then they had better be careful. Once the killing starts it can get downright nasty. A take no prisoners type of situation. This is beyond my understanding of the American way. This is a nightmare come true. They put the corporations above the government and citizens. Greed is winning right now.
It won't forever though. I have to say I believe God is getting tired of of the stupidity of the leaders right now and those who embrace their folly.
A little while longer and they will see the light one way or another.

Truly makes you wonder. I can see the benefit to having the FBI work with private industry but the shoot to kill order does raise eyebrows.

"Here comes the juggernaut
Here come The Poisoners
They choke the life and land
And rob the joy from us
Why do they taste of sugar
Oh, when they're made of money
Here comes the lamb of God
And the butcher's boy, Sonny"

Further reading on this article will show you that the FBI has OUTSOURCED Martial Law to private companies. The have been given the RIGHT to shoot to kill if their orders aren't followed.
Now do you understand the definition of FASCISM?
