A Conspiracy Theory That Is Being Pushed By The Left Claims That Something Really Big Is Going To Happen Today<\/span><\/p>\n

Authored by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Most people on the right have no idea just how crazed many people on the left have become. <\/strong>\u00a0Right now, a conspiracy theory which claims that President Trump is preparing to declare martial law in the United States is spreading like wildfire on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0According to that conspiracy theory, a report will be submitted to President Trump on April 20th which will recommend that he should invoke the Insurrection Act to help deal with the border crisis. \u00a0That would allow U.S. troops to help secure the border, but many leftists are convinced that President Trump will also use U.S. troops to round up political activists and send them to prisons in El Salvador.<\/strong> \u00a0I realize that this may sound really bizarre to many of you, but this is what many of them actually believe.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Early last month, an article\u00a0that was published by the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>\u00a0got the ball rolling by highlighting<\/strong> the fact that the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security will soon submit a report to President Trump recommending whether or not to invoke the Insurrection Act\u2026<\/p>\n

The clock is ticking down on a crucial but little-noticed part of President Donald Trump\u2019s first round of executive orders \u2014 the one tasking the secretaries of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to submit a joint report, within 90 days, recommending \u201cwhether to invoke the Insurrection Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of us are now holding our collective breath, knowing that the report and what it contains could put us on the slippery slope toward unchecked presidential power under a man with an affinity for ironfisted dictators.<\/p>\n

That is not exactly an honest characterization of what that executive order says. <\/strong>\u00a0I have reproduced the relevant portion of that particular executive order\u00a0below<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report to the President about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration wants to use U.S. troops to help secure the border, and that is probably what we are going to see.<\/p>\n

But many leftists are absolutely convinced that we are also about to see martial law in this country.<\/p>\n

An article that was authored by an anonymous leftist known as \u201cAletheisthenes\u201d that was entitled\u00a0\u201cPart 1: On April 20th, 2025, the United States may Cross the Point of No Return\u201d<\/a>\u00a0has created a firestorm of panic among far left radicals. <\/strong>\u00a0According to that article, once President Trump officially invokes the Insurrection Act it will set a \u201clarger plan in motion\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

And as his two months in office has already shown, he won\u2019t stop at just a legal opinion.<\/p>\n

Expect an executive order even that same day or the next, officially declaring the Insurrection Act, restricting freedoms in the name of restoring control of the border and perhaps in blue-state cities, and setting the larger plan in motion.<\/p>\n

Of course, this won\u2019t be framed as an attack on democracy. It will be packaged as a necessary response to crisis \u2014 as authoritarian takeovers always are.<\/p>\n

But once it happens, there\u2019s no going back.<\/p>\n

This will be the point of no return.<\/p>\n

Aletheisthenes believes that the plan to implement martial law in this nation will unfold\u00a0in eight stages<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

1. \u201cResist!\u201d Demonstrations Grow \u2014 Just As Planned<\/em><\/p>\n

2. The False Flag Crisis: Turning Protest into \u201cTerror\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Trump Declares Expanded Martial Law \u2014 And Calls for Militia to assist the police and Military<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Mass Arrests of Opposition Leaders<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Military & National Guard Take Over Major Cities<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Press Censorship & Total Media Control<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Borders Close & Dissidents Are Trapped Inside<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Elections Are \u201cPostponed\u201d Indefinitely<\/em><\/p>\n

Needless to say, this is not what Trump intends to do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But I do believe that anti-Trump protests funded by very deep pockets on the left will continue to grow, and every time President Trump does something to try to keep those protests under control it will fuel their delusions even more.<\/p>\n

Aletheisthenes followed up his original article with another very popular article in which he claimed that Trump\u2019s ultimate goal is to\u00a0\u201cfully overthrow the United States government\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

On or slightly after April 20th, 2025,\u00a0Trump will most likely sign an executive order invoking the Insurrection Act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The excuse will be to secure the border and deport violent gang member illegal aliens, and possibly bring order to out-of-control cities, but it will actually be the first step to eventually fully declare martial law across the United States, and suspend civil liberties, and the US Constitution.<\/p>\n

To most it will come\u00a0without warning<\/strong>. The press might not even report on it until the last minute. When it happens, expect\u00a0confusion, misinformation, and panic<\/strong>. Many will be caught off guard.<\/p>\n

(But\u00a0a few of us won\u2019t be,\u00a0<\/strong>at least not entirely \u2014 because we saw this coming.)<\/p>\n

The ultimate purpose is to eventually fully overthrow the United States government, put Trump, his billionaire co-conspirators, and people who share the values of his very fuzzy reactionary political coalition fully and permanently in control.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is nuts.<\/p>\n

But this is what they actually believe, and they are going to act accordingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The narrative that President Trump is some sort of a dictator will motivate leftists to show up at protests, and when some of those protests inevitably turn violent and authorities are forced to respond it will cause even more easily fooled people to embrace that narrative.<\/p>\n

You should see what leftists are already saying on social media. \u00a0Here is\u00a0just one example<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a veteran, if martial law is declared in the U.S., it means the Constitution is suspended. Civilian government Gone. Freedom of speech, assembly, the press? Gone. Curfews. Checkpoints. Arrest without warrants. No due process. I believe the military would stand with the people & Constitution\u201d<\/p>\n

They are openly talking about civil conflict, and this has been going on for months.<\/p>\n

But most people on the right have no idea this is happening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conspiracy theory that I have discussed in this article has gained so much traction that Snopes\u00a0was even forced to address it<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

One reader emailed Snopes, \u201cI am seeing many posts on Facebook that on April 20, Trump will declare martial law.\u201d Another person referenced an executive order issued on Jan. 20, the first day of Trump\u2019s second term, and asked, \u201cI have seen a variety of posts suggesting that an early executive order signed by the president has set the stage for the imposition of martial law, and that this will be triggered by a report on the state of the border that will be released on April 20. Any truth here?\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point, Snopes considers this conspiracy theory to be more of\u00a0\u201ca prediction than a provable claim\u201d<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

As of this writing on April 9, this rumor existed more as a prediction than a provable claim. Searches of the websites for the\u00a0Department of Defense<\/a>,\u00a0Department of Homeland Security<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0White<\/a>\u00a0House<\/a>\u00a0yielded no announcements, statements or demonstrable evidence that might help to shed light on the unproven matter.<\/p>\n

I actually think that there are many on the left that would love to see President Trump declare martial law, because they are convinced that would give them justification for what they have been intending to do all along.<\/p>\n

We have never been more divided as a society than we are right now.<\/p>\n

Civil disorder on a scale that we have never seen before\u00a0is coming<\/a>, but even after all of the political violence that we have already witnessed in recent weeks a lot of people still don\u2019t want to believe it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But sticking our heads in the sand won\u2019t make the threat go away.<\/p>\n

Our society is reaching a boiling point, and it won\u2019t be too long before events spiral completely out of control.<\/p>\n
