The left wingers, who love to call conservatives “conspiracy theorists” have come up with a doozy conspiracy theory of their own!
Trump is going to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 and declare martial law on April 20th.
Before you dismiss that as left-wing hyperventilation crazy talk, think it through. Besides, if Trump actually did declare martial law (which is highly unlikely) there would be thunderous applause from the right and wailing and gnashing of teeth on the left. That is how highly polarized the political situation has become. Ripe for civil war.
I doubt they would ever actually declare martial law, unless there was a large scale actual armed insurrection. It's more likely that the noose will continue to be slowly tightened, without most people noticing. As it has been tightening these past decades. Link
Trump just put half of the southern border under direct military control, effectively martial law whether they call it that or not. No civilian courts or judges, just military law.
On April 11, 2025, Trump issued a memorandum authorizing the military to take jurisdiction over specific federal lands along the U.S.-Mexico border, including the Roosevelt Reservation, a 60-foot-wide strip across California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
This allows the military to conduct activities like border-barrier construction and detain migrants for trespassing on what’s effectively designated as military property until Border Patrol takes over.
The move has sparked debate over potential violations of the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits military involvement in domestic law enforcement. Critics argue it’s a step toward militarizing the border, while supporters see it as a necessary security measure.
That was the salad, here is the meat and potatoes.
There is a series of articles by Aletheisthenes that predicts that on April 20, 2025, President Donald Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, leading to martial law.
The author suggests this would initiate authoritarian rule, citing an executive order from January 20, 2025, requiring a border security report by April 20 as a potential trigger.
Aletheisthenes outlines a sequence of events post-invocation of martial law, including expanded military power and military law, false flag operations, arrests of journalists and politicians, military control of cities, press censorship, closed borders, and postponed elections. All of these items have already been beta-tested in one form or another.
For example, the canceled elections in Ukraine. It is obvious that Ukraine is the bastard step-child proxy of the US government. Zelensky doesn't fart without permission. He is a gay comedian who plays the piano with his Penis. He couldn’t manage a 7/11, let alone a country at war. But, we are fighting for canceled elections and democracy in Ukraine because, ‘Murica! Trump may actually change that. We will see.
Remember that time they locked down New Orleans and confiscated guns after Katrina? Or the time they locked down Boston and went door to door with armored vehicles and machine guns hunting for the Tsarnaev brothers. Waco? Ruby Ridge? Malheur?
How about the Covid-19 nation-wide lockdown? That was a beta-test for martial law if there ever was one. The complacent sheeple complied with nary a baa or a bleat in protest.
How about the Pink Floyd fentanyl riots of 2020 when the government allowed the Burning Looting Marxists to loot and destroy cities while the normie sheeple wore a mask while driving alone in their car. Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the press that her city “gave those who wished to destroy space to do that” at the protests.
It's all been building up to this point.
Yet, a Trump “warp speed” lockdown is crazy talk…
The Aletheisthenes articles urge preparation and resistance. The only resistance will come from the left. Preparation is for anyone with an above room temperature IQ.
The lockdown is coming. Probably not on April 20th, but it is coming. Summer riot season, civil unrest, riots, economic collapse, supply chain collapse, grid down, terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, pandemic, bioterrorism, nuke WW3, natural disaster, millions of illegal invaders that they brought in all rising up, UFO space alien invasion, dogs and cats living together, total chaos…
Take your pick.
