Militias? What's all this talk....
....about Militias? I thought the govt. hated those terrorizers? But now I see they want to use those folks! What sort of message are they sending the public?!
What do I see here under the Model States blah, blah, blah...Sect 403 (a) paragraph 4?

It says "organized" militia
That would be the State Guard and or State component of the National Guard.
It doesn't include the rest of us. We are part of the "unorganized" militia.
I uncovered this list when
I uncovered this list when doing research on the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, and also on public health legislation in Maryland.
I don't think any of these states are living under conditions of martial law...but if the declarations of public health emergency are already in place, it's possible that police or militia repression can escalate without warning. Any of these states with an extant emergency declaration already is legally "set" to use any provisions of forced vaccination, quarantine, or isolation that might already be law in that particular state.
So be vigilant.

amica: Maybe all of the agencies like police, military, etc are
already operating under martial law and they are just not telling the public.
Something seems amiss and is not passing the smell test.
Hmm, SteveMT, interesting
Hmm, SteveMT, interesting thought you have. I live in MD and they apparently are one of the states with a declared public health emergency. Can't say I notice anything different here in Baltimore, except for an increased police prescence down at the Inner Harbor because there was a stabbing down there a few weeks ago...
I don't know why this isn't getting more attention on here or by the media...for God's sake, this is the Centers for Law and the Public's Health who's giving the list! BTW if you look at the link I provided, you can also see the documents the governors signed when they declared the states of emergency.

amica: What you are saying is exactly what is happening.
That is my belief. In my neck of the woods, the government is busy building a new "National Guard Amory" in Missoula. The complex is very intimidating looking with several large structures, all stone. Others are being built as well in Hamilton and Anaconda. My paranoia regarding FEMA camps is real. All of them are very close to railroad lines and highways. And nothing, hardly a word about them in newspapers. They don't exist, it seems.
It's business as usual otherwise.
I agree, FEMA camps are very disturbing. And nothing said.
It is part of the tyranny and oppression that is being "incrementally" brought upon us, the innocent citizens.
About the Davidian's in Waco, TX, city leaders don't mention the 1993 standoff at the religious sect's compound that burned to the ground and left nearly 80 people dead – unless someone asks about it.
A 2000 report on the final government investigation said the Davidians started the fire and shot each other – even some of the two dozen youngsters – in a mass suicide, ending the standoff.
"It was a tragedy but a tragedy that didn't have to happen, and it could have happened anywhere," Hayward said.
I say, it's happening with the FEMA camps, and we are staring it in the face. Let's do someting about it!
It's outrageous that TARP funds are being used to build a military tyranny to encapsulate the American public.
In the least, these camps are becoming major military enclaves, for the perpetuation of police state security guards with diseased mental clarity.
This is war, and has been war for the past 40 years.

And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
This is a huge false flag operation and here is the reason.
The swine flu has spread all over the world and infected millions, so they tell us. All of these infected people are now immunized, since they have already been infected and have survived! They are now protected for about 10 years, the time that protective antibodies remain active in us. THEY DON"T NEED TO BE IMMUNIZED AGAIN!
They tell us that the virus has NOT mutated, and they have prepared vaccine from this non-mutated virus. Yet, they are concerned the virus will mutate and will kill many millions of people. If this mutation does occur, their vaccine will NOT be effective, since it was prepared from the non-mutated strain that the world has already been exposed to anyway.
Is my thinking here correct or am I missing something?
makes sense to me
