"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Chicago Prepares for Martial Law!
"Officials at every level of government are cooperating in an exercise of unprecedented restraint of civil liberties in connection with the upcoming NATO meeting. They’re shutting down miles of expressways, streets and alleys but for government travel. The skies will be a no fly zone where anyone found in the air space will be shot out of the sky. Private property anywhere near the meeting will be overrun with Secret Service, Homeland Security and the dreaded TSA Bozos."

Interesting story, but there's no date for the martial law exercise. That seems to be a big omission.
It's no surprise that the government is getting used to the idea of seeing the military around large civilian population centers. Did you see that video of the troops doing "maneuvers" in a suburban Minnesota neighborhood? Did you know that the Israeli Mossad is training our small-town cops now? The Posse Comitatus act has prevented the military from being used as law enforcement, so they've found a clever way around it: make the police INTO the military! This is just one piece of the bigger picture showing that the US is headed for martial law... Check out http://www.martiallawusa.com. It explains it all pretty well.
