The government is moving toward martial law. It has been preparing for a y2k breakdown. In this report, Joseph Farah warns of the political pressure to declare martial law. He calls on Congress to take steps to stop this.
Congress? Do something? Hope springs eternal.

. . . America is one year and nine days away from what may be one of its most critical tests. Call it "the millennium bug," Y2K, or the day the earth stood still. There is simply no debate in any quarter that it will be a severe problem. The only question is, "How bad?"
Will there be power? Will there be telecommunications service? Will there be food and water? Will there be a global depression? Will there be martial law? These are not questions being asked only by Y2K doomsdayers. They are legitimate questions being raised by such respected, established and official sources as U.S. congressmen, the Red Cross, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Canadian government, the British government, and computer experts worldwide.
With so little time before all our questions about this potential disaster are answered, the big question every American, and particularly every member of Congress, should be asking themselves is this: Is it in the best interests of the United States for Bill Clinton to be serving as president when we approach that momentous and dreaded day?
It's a question, ironically, I hear no one else asking. And it's a question that propels the impeachment debate to the forefront of all other national public policy issues. . . .
Like it or not, life as we have come to know it is going to change overnight -- in the blink of an eye. I'm not suggesting a worst-case scenario is inevitable. What I am saying, unequivocally, is that, even in a best-case scenario, Y2K is a far bigger danger to Americans than Social Security going bust. . . .
The countdown has begun. No matter how bad the Y2K crisis turns out to be, the bigger, long-term threat to freedom in America and throughout the world is the question of how government responds to it. . . . |
