So my question is this, What would you do if martial law was declared and government contractors showed up in place of the Military?

Tell that to the people who lived under Stalin in the Soviet Union or the Jews who lived under the rule of Hitler in Nazi Germany.

A reminder to those who still keeping their eyes shut:
The military is not in your backdoor because you don't stand up, you just take everything the government throws at you. Martial Law is nothing, now you have normal laws which allows the military to take you in custody for ever. Once again, that won't happen if you are submissive, if you just take everything they throw at you, steal your money, your car, your livelihood.
Not even a genocidal maniac would harm you if you are that submissive, why do you expect the US regime to harm you?
Wake up please.

Learn the facts and truth, we have been operating under Marshal Law since 1862, when Lincoln became the Commander and Chief. This title can only be given to the president when operating under such law. We have been operating under the so called State of Emergency clause ever since, look it up.
Also only during such time can federal elections be put on hold, how many times over the past months have we heard of different States already considering this action?
Read Treason by Design, found here on ATS and on the web to learn more about the laws of this land and how we are governed.

I will be right beside you A I R, This action would be a very neat way for a sitting administration to avoid the conundrum of posse commitatus. If a government contractor "peace keeper" or some such shows up in my neigborhood I will not hesitate to shoot to kill. Period.
I think however, that the big question is, if so ordered, will the U.S. military fire on civilians? And what do we do then? The average U.S. civilian would stand no chance against the superior hardware and training of the average infantry soldier.edit on 1/26/2012 by unsteadystate because: Sp[/quote
I'd have to agree with you except for one point, which is the last one. We must not forget about all of us veterans out there who have been trained by the US Military, but also have extensive experience in the insurgency warfare that is being fought in the middle east. Veterans could very well be the biggest thorn in TPTB's side if this were to actually happen. Anyway thanks for your input.

If Martial law occurs, I see the events as this.
They would stop the trucks with food from moving and guard all the Grocery outlets.
Three days later, people will start to emerge, welcoming the new overlords.
The US populace can not handle hardships.
They will fold like a cheap suitcase.
