Plans For Martial Law in Missouri, Journalists & Activists Being Targeted Ahead of Unrest

Ferguson, Mo. – Plans are underway for martial law type scenarios as Missouri law enforcement has been holding meetings 2-3 times per week that include the military and FBI, according to people who have attended them.

Missouri law enforcement has been seeking intelligence from police departments across the U.S. on what they call out-of-state agitators. In reality, they are attempting to squeeze the independent media in hopes of using a main stream media filter to keep Americans in the dark about what is truly transpiring on the ground as this manifest injustice occurs.


Shaun King, an activist and journalist for the Daily Kos, also recently released some startling information. King has been intimately involved with the developments on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri following the killing of Mike Brown.

On Friday, King revealed some extremely disturbing developments via Twitter.

He stated that he had received information from a member of the military, speaking confidentially, that told him that his unit was told that they needed to prepare for riots in Ferguson and St. Louis very soon.

The soldier said his commanders specifically communicated that they did not expect Darren Wilson to be indicted and that it could be announced by October 15.

2. One confidential military source does not a story make. At least it never used to.

Apparently the same source has a pipeline to the grand jury thinking before it has even finished?

6. The law enforcement made it clear that they were NOT going to be playing by the rules.

Covering up their names and badge ID number, 'detaining' reporters and threatening them with violence. The PDs in that area have decided to go to war with the local populace. I guess they aren't done violating peoples civil rights.
