Yes, Kentucky was a neutral state in the civil war, later a union state. Confederate guerillas were continually slipping into Kentucky to rally, organize, and arm southern sympathizers. They also engaged in acts of sabotage and general mayhem. And so martial law was temporarily imposed to put down this mini rebellion.
"Obama is already half way there." Steve
How so are we half-way to martial law under Obama??
OK!
I'm back.
I believe a movement is being orchestrated involving the disarming of citizens and the arming of the police force. I know a few articles have been posted here about police getting armored vehicles and extravagant armaments. There shouldn't be any doubt by now we are being dumbed down. I believe it's to make people easier to be controlled. The next step in this process is just to usurp total control.
Every time you do it the act becomes easier. You just need an excuse. Martial law was enacted during hurricane Sandy.
Quote:During the Reagan regime, the agency acquired a new mandate, namely COG, or Continuity of Government. In April, 1984, Reagan signed Presidential Directive 54, authorizing FEMA to conduct a simulation of a “state of domestic national emergency,” codenamed Rex 84, or Readiness Exercise 1984. Rex 84 called for suspending the Constitution, declaring martial law, placing military commanders in charge of state and local governments, and detaining large numbers of American citizens considered to be “national security threats.”

Quote: These orders have been revised and updated throughout the years by different presidents, regardless of party affiliation. Until recently, they have operated under the premise of some great national emergency that would justify the use of such draconian measures. That premise disappeared on March 16, 2012 when Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13603, titled “National Defense Resources Preparedness”.
In this Executive Order, Obama essentially gave himself the authority to declare Martial Law in times of war or peace. Section 310 authorized the heads of “each agency engaged in procurement for the national defense” to “take appropriate action to ensure that critical components, critical technology items, essential materials, and industrial resources are available from reliable sources when needed to meet defense requirements during peacetime, graduated mobilization, and national emergency.” Throughout the document, the phrase “in peacetime and in times of national emergency” is repeatedly used. The Order outlined specific duties, assigned to the heads of all of the major federal agencies, who would form a “Defense Production Act Committee.”
