I keep getting texts from various people, and now a phone call, that the Pentagon has or soon will declare martial law. I have seen the actual reports that back on February 11th the military set up coronavirus containment camps. So....any conformation of any of this?
 
Rumors

But events are canceled,, and Bars and restaurants are being closed.

It is being staged for.. and talked all around...

I heard through a friend's cousin's whatever who supposedly works high up in the military that Trump will be shutting everything down nationwide in two days.

I would think if there was any truth to it, that there would be some chatter in the mainstream media. It also seems completely unnecessary, but so are the current measures that have been taken.
 
Any updates? It sure feels like they are hinting around at this a lot. Sounds like NY pretty much went on lockdown.
 
I suppose. Maybe if enough civil authorities in an area fell ill or died then they would. Imagine if 80% of a states police force got sick, then I think they would.

No, JM, no confirmation on that. I would say extremely low likelihood.

Think of all the type of tyranny you and I have experienced in our lifetime. It's soft power, not hard power. We're living in Brave New World, not 1984. They don't go around blatantly putting people in camps, they just shut down their ability to speak.

So don't worry too much about getting rounded up.

Worry about getting that Toilet Paper! ;)
 
The restrictions came upon us slowly but steadily. Within two weeks, our old lives were gone. First the schools closed, then came social distancing. Then the government locked down the hardest-hit areas: no more going in and out of certain provinces; limited movements within the “red zones.” Then the whole country shut down. Most stores closed their doors. People who could were asked to telework; those who could not, and did not have a job related to the continuation of essential services, were placed on part-time schedules or unpaid leave. When we went out, we had to carry a pass explaining our reasons for being outside to show to the law enforcement officers patrolling the streets. The priority became keeping everyone inside, at all times.

Please stop waiting for others to tell you what to do; stop blaming the government for doing too much or too little. We all have actions we can take to slow the spread of the disease — and ensuring that your own household has enough canned goods and cleaning supplies is not enough. You can do a lot more. You should do a lot more.

We can’t gather to bury our dead.

For us, it might be too late to avoid an incredible loss of life. But if you decide against taking actions because it seems inconvenient, or because you don’t want to look silly, you can’t say you weren’t warned.

Yep, so the question becomes, what have, or what will, they be doing while all of us are stuck inside?
There is an endgame here from the gov't and corporations (both). Something will definitely be done that lessens our "freedom" once this is all said and done. It.happens.with.every.crisis.

I'll be watching the freeways through my window for troop movements? :check:

rough expectations for the coming 18-24 months:

tracking cell phones of the infected
devaluing fiat to institute universal basic income and fund ops
burying the bodies without option for funeral in mass graves
providing better healthcare than you can get for the upper echelon
enforcing quarantine on the defiant
shuttering any and all businesses not aligned with providing food or fuel
drafting soldiers / national guard to enforce curfew and quarantine
constructing field hospitals and seizing private property for field hospitals
nationalizing production of hospital equipment, PPE, and pharmacuticals
enforcing shelter in place complete lock down in hot zones
cancelling any and all gatherings of more than 10 people
retail sales will plummet, many small businesses will go under further entrenching corporate power
there will be mass unemployment
there will be massive increase in the cost of common commodities
trinkets, gadgets, and other uncommon commodities will become increasingly scarce
there will be state funded food distribution points in every town
there will be widespread closed borders policies at international level
you may begin to see similar policies at the state and county level
subways, air travel, trains, buses will all grind to a halt
