Mega-military base breaks silence on 'martial-law memo'
Bob Unruh   08/24/2016 

U.S. military drills on American streets and roads, on public lands and in cities and towns long have prompted fears that the federal government is preparing to impose martial law.

Military vehicles are suspect whenever they’re in public, with or without cause, and suspicions have been fueled by recent massive federal power grabs such as Obamacare.

But this week a military base in Colorado is throwing cold water all over the coals of a rumor that appeared on the Internet.

The spark came from an image that purports to be from Fort Carson.

The stationery is labeled “Department of the Army, Headquarters, 4th Infantry,” and it is described as a “Memorandum for the Record.”

The subject?

“Preparation for Martial Law.”

It even lists various brigades and cites how many soldiers from each will be participating in new training, because, as it explains: “5 August 2016 2322 the Bill for the Executive Order Enacting Martial Law has been put into effect. Fort Carson will start training and preparation on 5 September 2016 at 0900.”

Three-hundred fifty are to be from the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, another 625 from the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 275 from the 4th Sustainment Brigade and more.

“Training will last for six weeks before the rotation of soldiers in the field site every 3 weeks after the first six weeks,” it explains.

But it’s not real.

“The Facebook posting showing what appears to be an official 4th Infantry Division memo is a complete fabrication,” Fort Carson officials said in a statement. “There is no training being conducted on Fort Carson concerning any type of martial law preparation.”

The Colorado Springs Gazette said, “Conspiracy theorists have long linked the post to easily debunked plots to separate Americans from their freedoms, and the latest involves an alleged memo from the post’s 4th Infantry Division ordering troops to train for a military takeover of law enforcement starting next month.”

The report said it “appears to be on Fort Carson letterhead and contains a smattering of Army terminology.”

However, the Gazette said the letter “falls apart,” because it calls for the post’s 1st Brigade Combat Team and its 350 soldiers.

But that unit has 4,000 soldiers.

And another named unit, the “1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team,” doesn’t exist, the report said.

One unit listed, the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, happens to be in Afghanistan now.

“And the Obama administration has not issued an order for martial law, and Congress has moved to forbid the president from issuing such an order, starting with the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids federal troops from enforcing domestic laws,” the Gazette reported.

Earlier, the report noted, an Internet rumor said the Mountain Post allegedly was housing United Nations forces for an “international takeover.”

We know 0bama doesn't give a damn about law & order, don't we?

[dont-blameme]

 Congress has moved to forbid the president from issuing such an order, starting with the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids federal troops from enforcing domestic laws,” the Gazette reported.

They need to explain this------Hoover ordered the Secretary of War to intervene, and Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur took charge of the situation. He led 600 troops (and six tanks commanded by Major George S. Patton) against the protesters, pushing them away from the Capitol building with tear gas and threats of bayonets. Fourteen years after the end of WWI, the capital of the United States looked like a war zone.


So much for the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act right!!~

WW1 vets never got their Bonus~!

[1965hawks]

A memo for the "preparation for martial law?" Yeah...right.

 Every day our forum's gullible, right-wing, Obama-hating, discussants think of new ways to show us just how incredibly stupid and ignorant they really are.

LOL

[D2D]

Obama did purge those he didn't like from the Military!

Has the military become the political arm of the Democrat party?

We will soon find out!

[Truman62]

[1965hawks]

D2D: Obama did purge those he didn't like from the Military[.]Has the military become the political arm of the Democrat party? We will soon find out[.]

D2D, the tommyrot you posted above does not even come close to supporting the claim, made by the internet hoax, that the gullible wzyxw used to begin this thread. 

[D2D]

Obama himself said he was being forced out of power by this election!

Not the kind of thinking a person loyal to America and the freedom it represents!

[keep-left]

Military Fakeover

U.S. Army officials say a memo announcing that martial law training exercises and preparation will begin at Fort Carson, Colorado is a 'complete fabrication.'


Claim:
An Army memorandum announces martial law training and preparation to begin at Fort Carson, Colorado, in September 2016.



False



Example:

[Collected via Facebook, August 2016]

HEAD'S UP!!!!! PREPARATION for MARTIAL LAW in SEPT 2016

READ this Army document and pay attention to the chart in #1!!!

8 August 2016 -- US Army Document---> Preparation for Martial Law
".... the Bill for Exec Order Enacting Martial Law has been put into effect. Fort Carson (Colorado) will start training and preparation 5 September 2016 0900."

WHY WOULD THEY PLAN FOR MARTIAL LAW JUST DAYS BEFORE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, THE HIGHEST ALERT TIME FOR THE RAPTURE.

Origin:
It's something of an election year tradition for dark conspiracy theories to circulate during the waning months of the U.S. presidential campaign, with rumor-mongers warning of an imminent military takeover by the power-hungry incumbent (regardless of which party that incumbent represents). In August 2016, after a round of the usual false rumors about the President surreptitiously granting himself  "unprecedented powers" via executive order, etc., a JPEG image popped up on social media purporting to be a scan of a U.S. Army memorandum announcing that training and preparation for martial law would begin on 8 September 2016 at Fort Carson, Colorado.

Albeit riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors — not to mention the nonsensical claim that "the Bill for the Executive Order Enacting Martial Law has been put into effect" — the document instantly went viral and was shared on conspiracy web sites such as Red Flag News, and via YouTube in videos like this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5Qfz0SOTR4

However, given that examples of unclassified U.S. Army memorandums are plentiful online, the document would have been very easy to fake — and, in fact, it was faked. When we queried officials at Fort Carson about the memo on 22 August 2016, we received the following response:

The Facebook posting showing what appears to be an official 4th Infantry Division memo stating that Fort Carson is starting martial law training is a complete fabrication.  There is no training being conducted on Fort Carson concerning any type of martial law preparation. The Posse Comitatus Act forbids military involvement in domestic law enforcement without congressional approval.
