![]() ![]() There is a form of chaos as divergent parties sow division and spark conflicts that can easily spin out of control into larger, more wide-scale forms of insurrection.Īutonomous activist groups, armed militia groups seizing capital buildings and threatening lawmakers, ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, White Nationalists, Neo-Nazis, and deeply divided political factions all tout the banners of their cause, but function to divide and stoke chaos. What we’re facing right now in America is asymmetrical divisions that don’t hold clear definable stances. ![]() That is to say that it was relatively clear that one side held a belief they were fighting for and the other side sought to maintain the peace and some semblance of the status quo. Historically, conflicts have usually been symmetrical in nature. With that caveat, the first most obvious way that a formal declaration can come about is in response to protests and violence. As an observer of the current conflicts, I merely strive to extrapolate out the possible immediate effects which can threaten your safety and hope to provide you with a few measures to help keep you and your family safe. While some may want to see some political slant in this blog, know that there is not. As a prepper, my primary concern is to look at the horizon and help you determine how and what you need to be prepared for. Armed police, National Guard, the military, even bands of controlling militias or armed citizens can bring about the same effect as martial law and can threaten your freedom and even your life. Even before the more formal declaration, however, it is important to understand that martial law can come in many forms and can be established without even a formal declaration. In this blog entry, we will examine the multiple circumstances that will lead to a formal declaration of martial law and what you can do now to protect yourself. Can you protect yourself from civil unrest and armed government overreach? Can a democratic society remain free much longer under such tremendous, violent pressure? Are government lockdowns inevitable, imprisoning you in your home? How much longer will your home even be safe? These are scenes from this week in America, and as violent confrontations increase and expand like wildfires from their point of origin, it’s not a question of when martial law will be established, it’s a question of how it will be established in your community. Masked agitators smashing windows and inciting riots, organized groups putting wood on fires to burn stores, armed individuals taking control of capital buildings, protestors smashing windows and fanning fires, racial tensions, police firing rubber bullets and canisters of tear gas, the National Guard mobilized to protect citizens, vitriolic exchanges between the federal government, the state government, and local law enforcement, scenes of police brutality and the absence of police presence, police stations burning, a pandemic gripping a nation, and the desperation of unemployment at historical highs…these aren’t scenes from a futuristic movie of a dystopian society. ![]()
