RE: Trump is "Marshaling" The Full Power of the Federal Government to Protect The American People

in The City of Neoxian6 years ago (edited)

People debate whether Trump should MARSHALL in some Marshall Law, assuming Trump didn't yet. But some say that U.S. Presidents declared Marshall Law in the United States of America (USA) on and off for decades. People have said that these declarations towards the federal government utilizing emergency power have never been turned off and that infiltrated government has been escalating in all that they do.

Turning Off Marshall Law

On one hand, that leads to elevated 1984 authoritarianism. But at the same time, some people say that Trump either cannot or would struggle more to turn off all the emergency powers that have been activated since like 1934, 1933, or maybe even 1913, if not earlier than that as well, that is IF TRUMP DOES NOT FIRST DECLARE MARSHALL LAW OFFICIALLY FIRST BEFORE TRYING TO THEN TURN OFF ALL THE PREVIOUS ONGOING MARSHALL LAWS. I'm against increasing the size of government. For the record, Trump and other Presidents are said to have utilized Marshall Law, federal control over local governments to some extent, periodically, on and off, for decades. And these things are generally not turned off. Too many laws. Too much spending. Too many things. It goes up and up and up.

Volume Control

In actually, Marshall Law may not be an on or off kind of thing but more a how much federal power over local power is being enforced actively. So, that has to do with the tenth amendment in that the federal government tries to utilize as much power which is supposed to be reserved for state and local governments.

Please Shrink Government

So, when Trump approves increased spending bills, etc, I'm not too happy as it is hard to undo these things. So, it is extremely risky. It is like playing with fire. It might be theoretically better than certain alternatives. Federal government could help us right now like they were perhaps helping us during the Great Depression in the 1930's and yet it was almost impossible to turn off all of the welfare, regulations, taxes, and fascism that came out of the 1930's in particular.

Balancing Act

Technically speaking, it's a juggling act, a balancing act, and yet I would still promote shrinking the size of government. But if Trump can close borders, then that can help. If military, the National Guard, the Space Force, etc, can help in some ways, then I wish them the best.

Draining Swamps

If Trump can marshall in the art of deal in draining the swamp, in going after tech fascism, in locking criminals up at an elevated level, in eliminating the IRS, in firing thousands of staff in the government, in reducing even more regulations, in reducing geoengineering, 5G, in reducing school regulations to allow for homeschooling, in reducing vaccine regulations, etc, etc, then I wish Trump the best of luck in these types of endeavors and I encourage people to vote, to spread the word, to get involved, etc.

Thank you for your in-depth comment.

And these things are generally not turned off.

I agree, once the Fed takes power, it's tough to ever get it back. I can think of one instance of overreach "turned off" and that is rationing in 1945. Only a single generation ago, all gasoline and many food and luxury items were rationed in the US. But they turned it off.

Could you imagine if the Feds said "only half a stick of butter per week" or "only one red bull" today? There'd be riots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_States

it was almost impossible to turn off all of the welfare, regulations, taxes, and fascism that came out of the 1930

I believe the 1930's "New Deal" was the formation of the Fascist / Socialist "Deep State" that has been undermining our country for decades. I would say their two biggest "successes" were their public education indoctrination program and the Federal land grab of the west. Both huge losses for the American people - they stole our greatest assets: our minds and our lands.

Draining Swamps

There have been a number of "wins" for Trump, but I have a funny feeling that the last four years of Trump will have more compromises than the first four years of Trump. I hope I'm wrong. If we see Marshal Law, I hope we also see some big names going to prison for a long long time. Big names that were previously thought untouchable.

Rationing in the United States
Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources, goods, or services, or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration, which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time.

I didn't know about the the 1945 U.S. rationing or I kind of heard about it before. That makes sense. The good news was that some of the U.S. fascism appeared to have been undo to an extent. For example, in the 1930's, there was a work curfew for a while. There was the alcohol prohibition.

Federal Land

It appears that some of these things were reversed and that gives me some hope. That is a lot of federally owned land and people need to be aware of that. We gotta always encourage people to confront Trump more and more regardless of how good and bad Trump is and is not, period. Because we are living in history. We are making history. Epic times in world history.

We live in interesting times indeed.
