How To Prevent Martial Law
From Kalpulli Community
Want to prevent uniformed masses of people from patrolling your streets, enforcing curfews, limiting public dissent, and injecting you with chemicals?
1. Tell your state's Public Health Commission to retire the state Public Health Emergency Act. Minnesota's will expire last August, if lawmakers haven't renewed it already... The Public Health Emergency Acts give police or federal law enforcement the authority to shut down roads, to chase and arrest anyone who flees, so that an entire population can be forcibly vaccinated or treated against something within 24 hours. Resisters go to an undefined quarantine/detention space.
2. Educate your neighbors about the failure rate & side effects of vaccines, like Gardasil, Tamiflu and the MMR vaccine, so they don't fall for whatever vaccine is offered for swine flu.
3. Dissuade your local FEMA Citizen Corps or Citizens' Emergency Response Team from seeing terrorism in dissent, from spying, infiltrating, or patrolling the streets unnecessarily. Minneapolis' Citizen Corps is run by Kristi Rollwagen, Director of Emergency Preparedness, Kristi.Rollwagen@ci.minneapolis.mn.us at 350 S. 5th Street, Room 230, Minneapolis You can find your local teams here: http://www.citizencorps.gov/cc/searchCouncil.do?submitByZip
4. Meet with or write to your state's National Guard generals, and ask them to honor the Constitution, which provides that our standing army will not march & fight on our soil. That means that, in case of an emergency when NORTHCOMM Joint Command calls on your National Guard units to patrol, guard, search and seize, WITHIN THE US, you should disobey. Let National Guard leadership know that if reserves disobey in such circumstances, you will support them. Better yet, write to NORTHCOMM Generals about Constitutional concerns: http://www.northcom.mil/contact.html
5. Tell your City Council to stop your police department from getting more new tasers, as the Twin Cities' P.D. did last summer. Wireless tasers that shoot out barbs twice as far have come out. You can get people in your community to oppose funding for such things!
6. Petition for 'philosophical objector' protection from vaccination in your state. Minnesota has this; however, the Daniel Hauser case shows that 'religious objector' protection from medical treatment isn't holding up too well. I don't know how well any objection will hold up under the MN Public Health Emergency Act.
7. Tell your state legislature to reduce prison labor for private companies, such that the highly profitable MINNCORPS facilitates in Minnesota prisons. MINNCORPS 'reduces inmate idleness' by paying inmates minimum wage to package things for private companies, without telling the state which private companies they are, and then TAKES chunks of inmates' wages-- over $1 million of their collective wages this year. This will reduce the already strong incentive for the state & industries to imprison as many as possible. With such pressure, the state of Minnesota is already de-funding private prisons because they're too expensive.
8. Participate in Take Back the Night, and other marches, as much as possible! I think we need to Take Back the Night at least once a month-- meeting our neighbors, supporting each other's free speech, showing our intolerance for violence on our streets at night, showing everyone that big nonviolent crowds can be positive things, even at night-- reducing the rationale for 'crowd control' and curfews. (If law enforcement could spontaneously impose a 5 pm curfew on downtown St. Paul on September 4, 2008, they could do it again.)
9. Insist that your state lawmakers accept no federal funding or hand-outs which stipulate that your state must hand over complete control to the Federal Government in cases of emergency. Minnesota has already accepted that the Federal Government can take over; they already tried it in September 2008, when the Secret Service was put in charge of our Twin Cities' sheriff & police dept.s. That went horribly. California and Wisconsin are two states that have not accepted this.
10. Go on police ride-alongs-- people hardly ever do anymore-- and get some insight on local cops' perspective of their duties. Try to observe, and talk, & share some perspective with them on the effects of expanding police presence & weaponry.
11. Attend Know Your Rights trainings. Get up to speed on your state laws/court decisions that affect what you do when stopped by police. No matter how bad things get... continue RECITING AND EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS! Then no one can take them away from you, even when they try to punish you for exercising your rights.
