President Obama Brings Up Martial Law in an Interview with the Washington Post
Were you as shocked as I was to read the comment allegedly made by President Obama to the Washington Post that “Americans would be better off under martial law” if Trump were to be elected?
Wait, hold on.
Did he really just say that?
This is our commander-in-chief. He must be kidding, right?
Right??
Nevermind, He Was Only “Joking.”
The Washington Post, a vocal Obama supporter, quickly backtracked. They now claim that the off-hand remark made “in jest.”
Okay, fine. We’ve all cracked a few questionable jokes in our day. We will give you that one, Mr. President.
We Dodged That Bullet, Or Did We?
Consider this. Donald Trump has just accepted the Republican nomination. He is leading in the polls. Trump’s acceptance speech and it’s core message- “Put America First”-incited the liberal media into a frenzy. Progressives even went so far as to compare Mr. Trump to Adolf Hitler. They now insist that Mr. Trump is the one who will declare martial law if elected.
If you’re anything like me, you probably recognize this as clever maneuvering from liberals who will say just about anything to take some of the heat off of Obama. All of a sudden, Trump is the one who will declare martial law? The timing is….interesting, to say the least.
What if Martial Law Were Actually Imposed?
So, let’s suppose this is a real possibility. What if Donald Trump does decide to impose martial law? I am just as sick of the violence in our country as anyone else. I never worried about terrorism when I was a kid. My biggest fears a couple of decades ago looked something like this:
Listen-love him or hate him, we can all agree that Trump is a pretty bold guy. If he does decide to temporarily tighten the reins once he takes office, I’m going to do everything I can to avoid being lumped in with all the loonies out there.
What Does That Mean For Us?
The time to prepare is now. Are you equipped to shelter and sustain your family for a week? A month? Longer? (Hopefully, not much longer. If your family is anything like mine, you know what I mean. One month with my Uncle Glenn and I might take my chances with the marauders on the streets.) Regardless, we will need to protect our families while this all plays out, Uncle Glenn included.
How Do We Do That? What Can We Do Now?
If you haven’t done so already, prepare a safe shelter for your loved ones. The last thing you want is to be left vulnerable in your own home while mayhem unfolds right outside your doorstep.
Sure, there may be “safe zones” and shelters set up by the government. During World War Two, the masses took shelter underground at nighttime. Some forward-thinking families even built their own underground shelters. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather be part of the latter group. Sleeping on a government-issued cot next to a complete stranger? Yeah, I’d rather not.
The mega-rich won’t take their chances on community shelters, either. The elites have already started preparing their own luxury bunkers. They have been for a while:

Start Building Your Survival Network.
Seek out like-minded people. You’re here- that’s a great start! There’s safety in numbers. Plus, you can gain a wealth of knowledge through simple conversation and by sharing your story. Meetup.com and American Preppers are two good places to begin building your network.
Always Remember: Knowledge Is Your Best Weapon.
Yes, your second grade teacher was correct. Knowledge is power. (Mine usually liked to tell me this after I bombed a spelling test. Where was auto-correct in the eighties?) While the rest of the population is scrambling to find shelter, you’ll have comfort in knowing that you’ve prepared your family for this very moment. And if Uncle Glenn starts acting up, we can always assign him to latrine duty.
Martial Law Action Plan:
- Start researching TODAY about DIY bunkers.
- Gather your “Crisis Plan Must-Haves.”
- Share your plan with your immediate family. Make sure your loved ones know exactly where to go.
- Seek out like-minded people. Start building your survival network.

Why would Trump declare martial law? I’m more worried about Obam Bam declaring martial law if Trump is elected President.
I couldn’t agree more. If the PTB don’t see their girl getting elected, something will happen to stop the election or prevent Trump from being sworn in. I just don’t see them walking away from their coup d’état completed under the prez. That’s not to say that Trump won’t play their game once he’s in, or that he won’t declare ML himself once in. I’d rather rally around the prez in order to re-establish constitutional government (law and order), than have to resist him while he still has his hands on the levers of power.
Anyone see this latest from Barnhardt? She’s talking about the parallels of the French Revolution and what we have going on in this country. I think she terms it a Communist putsch regime.
Wip beat me to it, I’m pretty sure you should be wondering if Oreo will declare martial law if there is a backlash against a Trump election. The HNIC could squeeze out a couple extra years of free housing in his luxury section 8 we call the WH.
Found this little nugget over on The Vulgar Curmudgeon blog
http://bustednuckles.blogspot.com/2016/07/obama-signs-executive-order-that.html
Obama regime targets gunsmiths with new executive order
President Barack Obama just quietly released a new executive order that could subject casual gunsmiths to thousands of dollars in fees and other regulatory burdens if they so much as thread a barrel on a firearm.
The executive order gives new authority to the State Department’s Directorate of Defense trade Controls, which oversees International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the underlying Arms Export Control Act (AECA).
From the State Department: “Any person who engages in the United States in the business of manufacturing or exporting or temporarily importing defense articles, or furnishing defense services, is required to register with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls … For the purpose of this subchapter, engaging in such a business requires only one occasion of manufacturing or exporting or temporarily importing a defense article or furnishing a defense service. A manufacturer who does not engage in exporting must nevertheless register.”
According to the presidential directive, firearm modifications that do not require “drilling, cutting, or machining” are not affected by the new rules.
But a commercial gunsmith who makes just one modification on the list of activities the government believes improves “the accuracy, caliber, or operation” of a firearm is subject to the new rules.
Examples of included gunsmithing activities include:
Use of any special tooling or equipment upgrading in order to improve the capability of assembled or repaired firearms;
Modifications to a firearm that change round capacity;
The production of firearm parts (including, but not limited to, barrels, stocks, cylinders, breech mechanisms, triggers, silencers, or suppressors);
The systemized production of ammunition, including the automated loading or reloading of ammunition;
The machining or cutting of firearms, e.g., threading of muzzles or muzzle brake installation requiring machining, that results in an enhanced capability;
Rechambering firearms through machining, cutting, or drilling;
Chambering, cutting, or threading barrel blanks; and
Blueprinting firearms by machining the barrel.
Any of those activities would require registration with the government and an annual $2,250 fee.
So, in one line Cory says Obama is full of shit. Next up “we have to prepare because Trump might declare Martial Law and here’s a list of amazon ads so you can buy everything you need to survive and my site can get 6% on all the panic sales”
Oh Kay. I get it, Corey. I’m finna spend $10k right now on Amazon through your site link.
Agreed. Cory tipped his hand with that bogus product-hawking list.
Maybe TRUMP will .Maybe put Idiot Ed in jail with a big hairy negro.We only hope.
Sofa King has already pulled a few years with Taekwan as his cellmate. He resents anyone who doesn’t have a size 11 asshole.
It could very well be that the Obama regime is so far ‘in’, from a criminal acts standpoint, that they can’t allow anyone but Hillcunt to assume office after them. No matter what that takes. Holder and Lynch have probably made that abundantly clear to Obama and Jarrett. “Win the election or lots of us might end up in prison” is their assumption. If they can’t steal the election plausibly, then they might go to extreme measures previously unthinkable. Nothing from this regime would surprise me anymore. A desperate, narcissistic fool in his last days in office might try anything to avoid having the truth about his administration exposed. The little punk just might go all-in on us.
A lot of hunters have been killed by ‘dead’ lions over time. A wounded wild animal can be a very dangerous thing.
Vodka says: “A desperate, narcissistic fool in his last days in office might try anything to avoid having the truth about his administration exposed.”
————–
That’s a laffer…plenty of “truth” has been exposed and nothing has resulted from it. The Janes and Joes don’t seem bothered enough to react in any meaningful manner.
@Rise Up
Of course nothing has resulted from it because they control the Justice Department.
At this point it is in the bag for Trump which means Hitlery would have to steal the election with voter fraud. That could happen just as some orchestrated event would allow the left to keep him out indefinitely such as civil disobedience and the eventual lock down. The left has a real talent for whipping up events that could give Oreo the green light to chain the populace. Also could be an opportune time to disarm folks.
That sounds like a lovely future, Bea. I will admit to being tempted to be less cynical these days with my son’s future looking very, very bright. I suppose it is because as much as I’ve raised him fully aware of the financial fraud that will not remain in the closet forever, to see him with the potential to be part of that fraudulent high-tech low-value world makes me wish it were not so.
In other words, I would like for him to have a happy, blissful life instead of the having to rebuild after the crisis.

I have three grandchildren to worry over just as you do your son. We are powerless against trumped up bankster wars and contrived economic crashes.
The NWO will be foisted upon us while we have a boot on the back of our neck and we need to come to terms with what we will do about that scenario.
Watch for the polling methods and what is being reported about them for the most important election polls to be changed to obscure any large differences in the results and make it look like a very close election.
This will be done because a very close election can easily be stolen by various voting and voter fraud methods while a wide margin projection that is stolen will cause too many questions and investigations as to why.
IMO, I my be wrong. I may just be paranoid in my old age and the Democrats and other establishment rulers are totally honest and would never do something like this.
You can vote the Communist in but you can’t vote them out. The Communist always accuse the Conservatives of the Hell they plan or do; in this case, Martial Law. That executive shithead order on guns above makes Obama’s intentions clear and is the straw that breaks the camels back. Turkey is seizing the moment to kick us out of Turkey and take our nuclear weapons because they know that The Black Mahdi is on their side.
Hillary wins appoints Obama and a couple of others like him. The liberals challenge every law they want changed. Americans resist. Martial declared. The country starts to tear itself apart. Russia, China and a new Europe type power emerge to run the world. Every one else looks to us for entertainment as we start to struggle just eat. The USA breaks apart.
Something that I consider a real possibility.
Trump isn’t the one to be feared, Hillary and the Democrats and the Republican elite establishment are.
Face it the Obamanites and the Hilliarites will follow them blindly and as we all know the entire bunch will lie cheat steal and yes even kill to obtain and preserve and increase power and control . So martial law by Trump would just be another tool by the oligarchs to keep the balls in the air and plates spinning on the stick . Sooner not later the economic shit will hit the fan and then L?K out , we will be bankrupt and left starving in the dark or we will fight back but remember we will be over run by a fuckton of minions all exclaiming “Just Doing My Job”so line up or else we will be forced to use enhanced crowd control technics , that’s “NEW SPEAK” for knock the fucking shit out of you ! Enjoy your New World Order !
So all the attempts to turn the average American against Trump with propaganda attacks have failed and now they -the leftists and the World Ruling Elite- have no option left but to try to induce mass fear of Trump in their effort to turn the public against him and defeat him.
In reality, it is Obama that should be feared if it looks like Trump will win, and Hillary even more so if she does win (which I consider likely at this point, don’t underestimate a Clinton and the machine behind them: http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/07/31/hold-draft-embargo/).
If we manage to avoid that (it would be difficult to establish a Martial Law based government in an armed nation) the last ditch effort would be assassination. Something I consider well within the range of possibilities under the current administration and the world’s ruling elitists being threatened to the extreme by Trump.
I would answer the question if Mike asked it as a QOTD.
However, it seems the SOLE purpose of that article was to SELL SURVIVAL SHIT. foad.
“If you haven’t done so already, prepare a safe shelter for your loved ones.”
—————-
Shelter from what, exactly? How will a “shelter” protect you from martial law?
From one of the links in this article:
“Weapons aren’t that big of a necessity when you’re in a bunker. There’s not much of a strong defensive point, and being underground puts you at a disadvantage already so we don’t think it’s worth investing too much in weapons and ammo.”
So the link touts getting or building a bunker, yet that one admits it is a “disadvantage”. WTF?
I’d take my chances above ground, thank you, instead of burying myself in a subterranean underground bunker.
When the gooberment controls ALL aspects of our lives ( via the Inter-State Commerce Act ) aren’t we in a quasi form of Martial Law ?
I think it’s more likely that Obama or Clinton would declare martial law to keep the presidency from trump, although I do agree with much of the advice here. Also, there’s just something about the author’s writing style and intellect that I find sexy AF.

I agree, Confederate Soul, that it is much more likely that Obam bam will declare martial law WHEN Trump gets elected.
Everything that the current establishment and the NWO have been working for in America for the past many years, including our complete destruction, could be undone with a Trump win.
That being said, I appreciate the enthusiasm of this post and it’s got some solid advice for newbie-preppers.
Although I could have done without the blatant Amazon-product hawking. Cory Thomas tipped his hand with that bogus list.
Confederate Soul….dude, Corey is a dude.
Anonymous…how do you know for sure? And who cares?
You ought to read that bible, bro.
Stevey-poo, I have. What’s your point?
Dude, are you serious? You better reread it.

Why would you link to reference articles at the end of your article that show everything you wrote is false (like including snopes)? Isn’t that just pointless for you or maybe I don’t get how you are doing espionage.
