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?
I am of the opinion that what the "common man" wants is never a reality(anywhere in the world as far as I can see). Sure, some leaders rebelled and won temporarily to do some good things. It is always hidden 4D STS through their visible 3D ruling puppets. Where ever ruling puppets is not that powerful, still bad things happened to roll back any good.
With the
thought of prospective US disintegration with Biden being president and election expose, one option seems to be putting Trump back in. If 4D STS using USA as a center of control on the planet (of course that notorious little Israel) for so long, they won't allow the US to disintegrate. They may want to keep Trump however short period it is. If we see long-standing military rules(across the world), one guy pops up under a crisis, he disappears soon, then somebody else usurps the power and real-bad things starts and continues for many decades.
Optics seems to be a big thing for these rulers. If that is not the case, we wouldn't have Obama ( "Bush" was keeping things under control at that time, however stupid he looked) then or Kamala Harris now.
This hacking "scare" is such a circus it works like magic ( i.e black one). 8 months back, a hacking scare started at my work, top to bottom everybody was lined up, spent 24 * 7 for 2 weeks over phone, to change the password of every known application( thousands). I asked how does they know some body hacked? It looked, some unauthorised login in one of company machine (there may be 2,000+ applications and thousands moremachines with diverse set of purposes and owners) in one vendor location in India ( there are half a dozen offshore vendors and probably dozen locations). There are layer by layer firewalls, password changes, and so on already exist. Nobody bothered to check what other unauthorised action happened. Just change every thing is the magical solution.
I had a decade-old vendor application that doesn't contain any secure information, whose admin password we never change (as per vendor recommendation). I resisted, but my boss ( she calls herself "mother hen" and normally amiable) more or less gave the ultimatum to change in 2 weeks. We pulled all the relevant parties, nobody can guarentee that application will not crash, if I change password. I complained to my boss(director), she summarized her problem like this - " This is the last thing for which I want to go to security councel to justify". Heck, we even have an all powerful security council too. Even directors don't want to confront Security managers and they can come up with their stupid rules they want. The more technical naivity of the security manager is, the stupidier the rules become.
After 2 weeks of tense time, I managed to change the password. Then they said, one has to change password every 3 months. Vendor gave a delicate surgery type procedure. I asked "why do you want us to do delicate process?". I was told to hire somebody from the vendor(India), if needed and get it done - Every body is doing, you do it. This is how the circular thinking goes. I understand, everybody wants to be responsible to do something for the so-called hack, but the lengths people go is ridiculous.
We did chnage password once well, second time something went wrong. It had been 2 months to identify what the issue is and every effort is like going into a time loop ( unlock the account, it locks in 2 minutes, but no body knows what is contributing to it- our basic functionality works). Everybody says, that's not their problem, but the application can't be down even for a day. Well, we narrowed down the problem to Vendor, asked them to fix it. It will be another 2 months before they will fix it. Now, the Infrastructure guys says "Your account is getting locked too many times, we won't support it". Only thing I can say is -"Do whatever you want. There is nothing I can do".
