Just occurred that the deep state probably wants martial law because that allows for the taking of possession of all public and private property for the protection and support of the military and the 'state'. Also aligns with the WEF's 'prediction' for agenda 2030 that 'you will own nothing and be happy' and that everything needed will be leased. So they probably won't be feeling too upset at Trump's claim that he will declare martial law because that plays to their agenda anyway.
I hope Joe's prediction turns out to be right. That said, here are some thoughts I've just put together on the matter of Martial Law:
Something else to consider,
@Jones, related to Martial Law is that the left is already imposing it without stating as much through the use of Covid-19 -- quarantine, mandatory masks, mandatory vaccination, etc., "defund the police" and funding of BLM & Atifa -- through which we see the eroding of private property rights, even just plain "civil" rights, etc.
Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civilian functions by a government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in an occupied territory. While Martial Law is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, the...

You’ll also notice signs of approaching Marshall Law when:
* You see the suspension of the Constitution – beginning with the first and second amendments
* Immediate confiscation of firearms – it happened before and it will most certainly happen again.
* Unpredictable Habeas corpus suspension – including imprisonment without due process or a right to a trial.
* Mandatory Production of identification or facing arrest
* Mandatory Curfews
* Quarantine zones and travel restrictions
* Mandatory cooperation with search and seizure without reason or warrant
* YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER ACTUALLY HEAR THE WORDS “MARTIAL LAW”
You’ll know that we are in Martial Law even without hearing the words when:
* THE U.S. Constitution is suspended.
* Habeas Corpus is suspended
* Civil Rights are Suspended
* Civil law as we now know them will no longer exist
* No more freedom of the press
* No more freedom of speech
* Forced curfews
* Armed troops on the streets for law enforcement
* Individuals detained without cause
* Homes confiscated of all firearms, ammunition, food and supplies
* Any civilian who attempts to defy martial law may be subjected to court martial.
Thomas Jefferson said it best: “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."
So, really, as per certainly the first roster above, we are all seeing the imposition of Martial Law without it being stated as such.
This begs the question of which Martial Law scenario is worse, then? Trump's officially declaring Martial Law? Or the Martial Law we are presently seeing, which is only going to become more onerous once/if the Democrats take the White House?
If Trump were to declare Martial Law, it would confirm for many liberals what they've always claimed about Trump, his being a power hungry tyrant, etc. There will no doubt be an increase of the kind of rioting we've been seeing with BLM and Antifa, although, presumably, there will be serious consequences for such groups.
As for Deep State elements, what would their reaction be IF Trump's declaring Martial Law is truly an attack on their own power? Does Trump and the military have the necessary "might" to take on the Deep State?
There's a lot of talk about Deep State elements, but how precisely does that break down? Off the top of my head... the CIA and other intelligence agencies, both domestically and abroad; major financial institutions such as the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs & others, central banks, all loyal political players, etc. Deep State access to nuclear weapons, cyberwarfare technology, etc., would no doubt enter into this as well. There are also generals and other military higher-ups not at all loyal to Trump.
Off hand, seeing how isolated Trump seems to be, could he really summon the power to confront such Deep State elements?
I certainly need more information to make that call. It all seems so very dicey.
Plus, if we think Big Tech/MSM is acting against Trump and his supporters now, this out and out warfare would see an even greater push to silence opposition. However, as per the beginning of this post, this is happening already with the unspoken Martial Law that the Democrats are party to, which is just getting revved up.
It does seem to be coming down to "might." Does Trump have the "might" to confront such an elaborate web of highly volatile opposition, and, if he were to take that risk militarily, what would be the likely result?
Catherine Austin Fitts points out that it's better to lose your life than to live as a slave, and yet she's extremely opposed to Trump's invoking the Insurrection Act, since the fact of its officially nullifying our constitutional rights she sees as playing into the hands of the Deep State, which she's implying will be able to use that supposedly temporary state of affairs to their immediate advantage.
What she suggests instead of going the Martial Law route is to get organized locally and make serious demands on government through state legislatures. "Intelligent action" is a term she likes to use.
This is her rather ambitious list she recently tweeted on this. But, as opposed to what her specific recommendations are, the important part, I think, is to start thinking of the considerable role of our state legislatures, which this fraudulent election has certainly put the spotlight on.
Here's Fitts' list again:
I'm posting this tweet here since I've heard Fitts say this before, and it's so radically different than what most are saying about this right now. It's something to maybe research further, see why she feels so strongly about this. I've included a following comment, as well, which seems to...

Of course, the mood in the country doesn't seem conducive to "intelligent action," I'm afraid. Still, it's good to think these things through.
I hope Joe is right, and Marshal Law is no longer on the table.
Maybe the PTB have lost touch with reality to such an advanced degree, they think people will fall for it. Always good to question sources.
