NEW WORLD ORDER

Gen. Tommy Franks moots Martial Law in the US

General Tommy Franks, who led U.S. forces in Iraq, says that an attack on U.S. soil with a weapon of mass destruction that causes large casualties will be likely to lead to an end to the U.S. Constitution in favor of a military-run government.
Franks says, "It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty- producing event somewhere in the Western world -- it may be in the United States of America -- that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty- producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important… [then] the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy."

[Foundations are in place for martial law in the US. From July 27, 2002.
Recent pronouncements from the Bush Administration and national security initiatives put in place in the Reagan era could see internment camps and martial law in the United States.
