The current McAlvany Intelligence Advisor is a startling look at the
prospects for Martial Law in the United States.  Even for the editors
of Beyond the Mainstream Media, who have been documenting the
encroaching police state, the description of the hypothetical scenario
of how Martial Law might enfold in times of crisis is frightening.

It has been reported to us here at BTMM that last weekend, here in
San Diego, CA, Roger Hedgecock's radio show had guests and call
in participants who, when discussing Y2K, were advocating implementing
Martial Law. Perhaps reading about how such a scenarios might happen,
will cause people from casually advocating such a position.

[Editor's Note:  If you are concerned about freedom in America,
about the growing people control measures coming out of Washington,
about the erosion of our traditional values and of the Constitution,
this may be the most important newsletter you ever receive from MIA.
This writer believes that we are entering a period of extreme danger
-- political, financial, and social -- in America in the first and
second quarters of 1999 and that the threats to our freedom have
never been higher.  Please study this issue carefully and share it

AN AMERICAN POLICE STATE:  TOWARD A STATE OF NATIONAL
EMERGENCY AND MARTIAL LAW

"The whole equilibrium has been deranged and the terrible words have
been pronounced against the Western democracies.  'Thou art weighed
in the balance and found wanting.' And do not suppose that this is
the end.  This is only the beginning of the reckoning.  This is only
the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us
year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and
martial vigor we arise again and take our stand as in olden times."
Winston Churchill, 1938 (as he was trying to rally and awaken the
sleeping, apathetic British people to their growing danger from the
Nazis).

"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject
to moral decay have not passed into political and economic declines.
There has either been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral
lapse, or an ultimate national disaster."  General Douglas MacArthur

"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing
to know the whole truth, to know the worst; and to prepare for it."
Patrick Henry, 1775

INTRODUCTION

The year 1999 has arrived!  It is likely to be a "hell year" -- the
most turbulent, crisis filled, challenging year in many decades --
perhaps in all of U.S. history, to be followed by the year 2000 with
even more upheaval.  The foundations of America (i.e., financial,
monetary, social, political, moral and spiritual) are about to be
shaken like at no time in our history.

To best understand the present period in America, it is useful to
consider the parallels with the 1920s and '30s in Germany.  The
1920s, in the German Weimar Republic, saw an inflationary
depression; widespread government corruption and paralysis; an
incredible moral disintegration with rampant promiscuity,
homosexuality, pornography, pedophilia, adultery and divorce;
widespread abortion and euthanasia (especially as Germany moved into
the 1930s); a formerly prosperous and intelligent people who lost
their moral compass and their ability to discern between good and
evil; a weak, corrupted, spineless German church which raised no
voice against the evils of that day; and finally the rise of one of
history's most vicious dictatorships under Adolph Hitler and his Nazi
Third Reich.

In the 1980s and '90s we are seeing many of the same phenomenon in
America, except that our moral, spiritual, governmental decline has
been masked by a great speculative bubble in the stock and other
financial markets which has created a pseudo-prosperity which has
blinded the discernment, thinking, and sense of right-versus-wrong
of the great majority of the American people.

As we move into 1999, the stage is set for the greatest financial
collapse in U.S. history; a protracted power struggle at the top of
the U.S. government; a triple crisis -- economic/political/Y2K --
which will begin to impact America in the first and second quarters
of 1999; a State of National Emergency and martial law which are
being readied at this writing and which could be launched in the
second or third quarters of 1999; and a growing onslaught from the
government and liberal media against the politically incorrect,
"dangerous religious right" -- who, like the Jews in the 1930s in
Germany, could end up being the scapegoat for many of America's
emerging problems.

On December 19, two history-making events took place.  The second
Republican Speaker of the House, Rep. Bob Livingston, resigned in a
little over 30 days (the Clinton White House was reported to have
leaked information to Hustler Magazine about sexual affairs
Livingston had had); and the second President in U.S. history, Bill
Clinton, was impeached on two articles (for perjury and obstruction
of justice).  Vowing that he would never resign or be thrown out of
office prior to the end of his term, Clinton, the Democrats, and
Republicans will now move to do battle in the Senate in January.

Though, at this writing, there are not enough votes to convict
Clinton in his Senate trial, new evidence of wrongdoing could be
submitted and the outcome is anything but clear.  If Clinton were to
be found guilty and removed from office, he and Hillary would be
likely to face a long string of criminal indictments.  Whatever the
outcome, a very dark cloud now hangs over Washington and American
politics.  A scramble is now on to put another liberal in as the GOP
Speaker of the House.  Newt Gingrich and the GOP liberals are
pushing liberal GOP Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) for the powerful
position.

On the economic front, the world, with huge manufacturing
overcapacity, continues to sink inexorably into a global
deflationary depression -- the recent rash of interest rate cuts,
monetary expansions, and bailouts not-withstanding.  To avert an
almost certain financial crash and meltdown in October. the Clinton
Treasury and Fed pumped over $200 billion (of U.S. taxpayer funds)
into the financial markets:  the Fed cut the prime rate three times
and the discount rate twice:  and the Fed has presided over the
greatest monetary expansion (i.e.. inflation) in over 100 years
(i.e..  25% expansion of the MZM money supply in November alone).

The Clinton Administration (in its attempt to hold itself up in the
polls) continues to lie about virtually all economic statistics
(i.e., unemployment, gross domestic product, inflation, etc.).  With
corporate earnings dropping sharply and companies cutting hundreds
of thousands of jobs per month, the Clinton spin team (by creating
160-180,000 phantom jobs out of thin air each month) claims strong
continuing job growth in America.  As in everything else, they are
lying through their teeth.

Meanwhile, Clinton/Wall Street hype, a huge Treasury/Fed injection
of financial liquidity into the markets, and incredible manipulation
by the Plunge Protection Team and Treasury Interest Stabilization
Fund have once again reignited a speculative frenzy in the stock
market, creating a strong rally in the last quarter of '98.

In this writer's strong opinion (and also that of Richard Russell,
Robert Prechtor and other respected market technicians), they have
created only a bear market rally which has suckered millions of
greedy middle class investors back into the most overpriced market
in world history with even more funds.

As an indicator of how the Fed/Treasury action has reignited a mania
in the markets, a number of Internet stocks (with little or no
earnings) have risen 1000-1700% in a matter of a few weeks.
However, the most powerful people on Wall Street, who understand the
disaster which lies ahead, continue to unload their stocks into this
rally like there is no tomorrow.  Goldman Sachs, the top
establishment firm on Wall Street, just saw an 81% earnings drop.
As the U.S. recession deepens, many Fortune 500 companies (with
earnings declining sharply) are laying off tens of thousands of
employees (i.e., Boeing -- 20,000; Citigroup -- 10,400; Texaco --
1,000; AmeriTruck -- 1,000; Eastman Kodak -- 300; Monsanto -- 1,000;
H.J. Heinz -- 400; J.P. Morgan -- 700; etc.  Goodrich is closing
four plants).

U.S. exports are cratering (bogus Clinton numbers notwithstanding)
with the U.S. current account deficit (3rd quarter) $61.3 billion
(i.e., $245 billion annualized -- the highest in U.S. history).
Corporate earnings dropped four percent in the 3rd quarter according
to Business Week.  Meanwhile, the primary factor propping up the
stock market at this writing is massive purchases of S&P 500 futures
contracts by the Clinton Plunge Protection Team.

The global debt pyramid of $125 trillion is continuing to implode
and a few hundred billion in U.S. Fed-created bailout funds will not
stop the implosion.  The global depression will continue to worsen
in the first quarter of '99, and will be exacerbated by growing
awareness and fear of the Y2K crisis.  Programs like the recent "60
Minutes" special on Y2K; failures like the recent seven hour power
blackout in San Francisco (which may have been due to a failed Y2K
test); and a growing number of Y2K computer glitches will begin to
create a Y2K panic in the first and second quarters of '99.  A
president struggling to hold on to his power. and global economic
convulsions, combined with growing Y2K problems. will all make for
an incredibly unstable environment in the first half of 1999.

This issue of MIA will analyze the preparations now being made by
Bill Clinton for a State of National Emergency and martial law in
America; and how the crises on the immediate horizon could plunge
America into a police state ala Nazi Germany in the 1930s -- a sort
of Fourth Reich.  [ED.  NOTE:  On 12/14/98, Rush Limbaugh, on his
daily talk show, posed the question -- "Would Bill Clinton declare
martial law in America to hold on to his power?"  This article will
explore why martial law in America over the next 6-12 months is a
very strong possibility!]

I. AN AMERICAN POLICE STATE:  TOWARD A STATE OF
NATIONAL EMERGENCY AND MARTIAL LAW

INTRODUCTION

Is it possible that in the midst of the coming Y2K/financial crisis,
when there could be panic in the financial markets, bank runs, power
failures like we saw in early December in San Francisco, rising
unemployment, food shortages, and social unrest in large American
cities, that Bill Clinton (or Al Gore, if Clinton should be removed
from office - which at this point seems very unlikely) would declare
a State of National Emergency and martial law to deal with the
crisis?

What if the Y2K/financial crisis is compounded by one, two, or a
series of terrorist attacks, or the threat of such attacks by
terrorists such as Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, or some
terrorist group -- Islamic, Bosnian, Communist, or former-Soviet?
What if one or more of the dozens of Soviet-made suitcase nuclear
bombs that are believed to have been smuggled into the U.S. over the
past 10-15 years were detonated in, for example, New York or
Washington, D.C.?

In mid-December, Time Magazine reported that terrorist groups
affiliated with embassy bomber Osama bin Laden are planning to
strike on U.S. soil over the next few weeks.  New York City and
Washington were cited as likely targets in the Time report.

The New York Times (8/23/98) in an article entitled "America Embarks
On A Struggle With Domestic Costs" wrote " ...  President Clinton
warned that the United States was facing a long, on going struggle
between freedom and fanaticism, between the rule of law and
terrorism...  So, is the U.S. prepared for the consequences of what
it now insists is a global war on terrorism?  Experts on
terrorism... say that if the Clinton Administration is true to its
words.  Washington is embarked on a decades long battle in which
Americans may find themselves increasingly targeted on the streets
of their own cities.

"'I don't think the U.S. understands what it's in for,' said David M
Anderson, a senior lecturer at the School of Oriental and African
Studies in London, who has studied the Islamic fundamentalist groups
in East Africa that have been tied to Mr. bin Laden.  'This will be
a long, perhaps never-ending, attritional war.  Pandora's box has
been opened, and it won't be closed again.'

"Terrorism experts wonder if the US. is ready to add itself to a
roster of nations. including Britain.  Ireland. and Israel that have
curbed cherished civil rights and liberties in order to combat
terrorism waged on their own soil."  The article went on to say that
countries under terrorist attack would have to take "Draconian
measures to deal with terrorism," including holding suspects without
charging them with a crime; government (wartime-style) censorship; a
suspension of due process; etc.

Would Americans surrender major freedoms in such a crisis (i.e.. in
a terrorist crisis, perhaps compounded by Y2K and a financial
collapse)?  Of course they would!  Since a series of terrorist
hijackings in 1970, we have willingly submitted to airport searches
and electronic screening (i.e., for almost 30 years).  Since the TWA
800 crash in July '97 (at first thought to be a terrorist attack but
later "officially" pronounced as a "bad fuel pump") we have
submitted to showing photo ID's at all airports -- and now they must
be "official government IDs."

When the Los Angeles riots of 1992 paralyzed that giant metroplex,
the people begged for martial law "to stop the pain," and it was
declared and implemented via "Operation Rio and Joint Task Force 6,"
even though it involved the suspension of the peoples'
Constitutional rights.  When Americans are in pain, in danger (real
or imagined), in danger of losing their cherished wealth or
affluence, or are simply frightened, they will willingly give up
some or all of their freedoms to a government which promises to end
the pain, protect them. preserve their wealth. etc.

Americans willingly yielded major freedoms to Franklin Roosevelt and
the government in the Great Depression in 1933 -- when FDR declared
a State of National Emergency.  In that same year, the German people
willingly surrendered their freedom to Adolph Hitler in a State of
Emergency after Hitler and his Brown Shirts burned the Reichstag
(German Parliament) and blamed it on the Communists.

Would a beleaguered President Clinton or his successor, Al Gore, and
the legions of socialists they brought to power with them, use the
emerging "terrorist crisis" (whether real or manufactured), and/or
the emerging "Y2K crisis" and/or the emerging "financial crisis" as
an excuse to seize a tremendous amount of political power, advance
their socialist/globalist agenda, declare a State of National
Emergency and martial law in America and impose Draconian people
control measures on the American people?

[ED.  NOTE:  It should be remembered that the people in power in the
Clinton Administration hate the U.S. Constitution and want to
destroy it.  It would be suspended under martial law.]

Could the Clintons, Gore, and their comrades use such a "crisis" to
attack their political enemies ("the dangerous religious right")
such as they did after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 or as
Hitler did after Reichstag fire in 1933?  Could the Clintons'
present push for hate crime legislation; a national ID card; bank
monitoring of customers' financial affairs; government monitoring of
all medical records; Draconian telephone, fax, and Internet
surveillance; unconstitutional searches, seizures, and forfeitures;
new restrictive gun control measures; and a rash of new Executive
Orders which give the President (with the stroke of a pen) total
dictatorial control over every aspect of Americans' lives -- all be
part of moving America toward martial law and a socialist police
state?

There is growing evidence that this could be what is happening and
that Bill Clinton or Al Gore could emerge from the coming period of
crisis (Y2K, financial, and terrorism) as an all powerful dictator.
Remember. quantum change always takes place in a period of (or under
cover of) extreme crisis.  On 9/28/98, Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA), one of
the leading early exponents of impeaching Bill Clinton, released a
memorandum exposing a huge police state power grab by Bill Clinton
and his Attorney General, Janet Reno.

As Rep. Barr wrote:  "Attorney General Janet Reno and the Department
of Justice intend to obtain massive new enforcement powers in the
closing days of the 105th Congress.

"Barr obtained the information from a confidential source within
federal law enforcement.  Among other things, the Department's 'wish
list' for  new authority includes.

- "A vastly expanded definition of terrorism to include domestic
crimes having no relationship to terrorism.

- "The power to seize commercial transportation assets for federal
use.

- "The ability to commandeer personnel from other federal agencies
without reimbursement.

- "Expanded wiretap authority to allow 'roving' wire-taps, and
wiretaps without any court authority.

- "Enlarged asset forfeiture provisions to allow the FBI to seize
personal property in both criminal and civil matters.

- "The establishment of a permanent 'FBI Police Force.'

- "Loosening of Posse Comitatus restrictions to allow more military
involvement in domestic law enforcement.

- "Authority to force telephone and Internet companies to divulge
information on their customers.

"'These requests belong in some bizarre conspiracy novel, not in
serious legislative documents being circulated at the top levels of
federal law enforcement.  These proposals represent a sneak attack
on the most cherished principles of our democracy.  If they become a
part of our law. freedom and privacy in America will be permanently
and severely diminished' said Barr.

"Barr also noted the Justice Department and the FBI are 'shopping'
this wish list in an effort to get the items placed in a spending
measure without hearings or debate.

"For additional information, visit Barr's web site at
http://www.house.gov/barr."

[ED.  NOTE:  It is noteworthy that Clinton and Reno want a "vastly
expanded definition of terrorism."  Remember, Reno has defined
pro-life demonstrators praying in front of abortion clinics as
"terrorists."  Will the entire right wing, religious conservatives,
gun owners, "politically incorrect" opponents of present government
encroachments -- all soon fall under some expanded definition of
"terrorist"?]

This letter will analyze the socialist juggernaut (which, like a
noose) is strangling the freedoms of the American people.  For many
years we have had thousands of Federal laws, rules, and regulations
passed (each year) -- about 2,500 new laws annually and many
thousands of regulations (filling 86,000 pages of the Federal
Register) per year.

Most of these laws, rules and regulations carry criminal as well as
civil penalties.  They have rendered almost every American a
criminal because almost every person is in violation of some law,
rule or regulation which he or she never heard of.  Most Americans
(like the frog who is gradually boiled in the pot) have not even
noticed the contraction of their freedoms or the growing power of
our burgeoning government over every aspect of their lives.

Now these efforts to control the people are accelerating under the
Clinton Administration -- with a strong push for a National ID Card;
electronic surveillance of every American from the cradle to the
grave; banks spying on customers; hate crime laws; abolition of
virtually all privacy; unconstitutional searches, seizures, and
forfeiture of assets (i.e., about 250,000 per year); and in the
coming crises (terrorism/Y2K/financial collapse) very possibly
martial law and a suspension of the Constitution.

A totalitarian police state came in like a flood (virtually
overnight) in Germany in the 1930s.  The German people had been
prepared or conditioned for it for the prior 15 years and were in
such a state of moral. political, and financial collapse that they
had no resistance to Hitler's overtures when they came.  Is America
about to follow in Germany's footsteps?  This writer fears that it
is!

A. THE END OF PRIVACY:  TOWARD A TOTAL SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY

In George Orwell's classic (and prophetic) novel, '1984', Big
Brother, the all powerful socialist dictator of America, enslaves
the people.  His primary tool for the destruction of the peoples
freedom was the abolition of all forms of privacy.  Big Brother
watched the people 24 hours a day in a total surveillance society.
Privacy is a major element of freedom and its elimination is a major
element of slavery.

Today, in an electronic, computerized, high-tech age that even
Orwell did not envision, it is possible to track, watch or listen to
Americans from the cradle to the grave.  If Hitler, Lenin, Stalin or
Mao had had the high-tech, people tracking devices now available to
governments around the world, their tyrannical, people controlling
dictatorships might have lasted much longer.

Today, using your Social Security number, each adult American has
comprehensive files in a dozen or more Federal government data bases
-- with information ranging from tax, medical, police, educational
and military records, to financial, bank, credit card, securities
and other investment records.

Through FinCEN, these records are assembled (via computers) from
your various government files.  Profiles (very accurate computerized
profiles) on each adult American can be assembled -- showing your
likes, dis-likes, political and religious preference, spending
habits, etc.  -- and whether you are politically correct or
incorrect (i.e., liberal, conservative, Christian, patriotic, etc.).

Public surveillance devices are now in use, wherein you are being
video taped in government and public office buildings; grocery,
liquor, drug and other retail stores; on a growing number of city
streets and highways; in airports, train stations, subways; in
parking garages; and very shortly, in virtually all public places.
Overhead satellites photograph and catalog each square inch of the
earth (several times a day), with accuracy that can spot and
identify by brand a package of cigarettes lying on your driveway.

All passports and drivers licenses are now computerized and when
passing through customs or at a routine traffic stop. the government
or law enforcement officer can instantly pull up on his computer
screen hundreds (or thousands) of items of information about you
from data bases in Washington.  D.C. This instant information on you
is now being established in international data bases.

Your hand may soon become your passport.  Experiments for the past
five years (at the Newark, JFK and Toronto airports) have
demonstrated the feasibility of using a biometric hand measurement.
A three dimensional reading of the hand's shape is encoded on an
NPASS card.

To pass immigration, card holders approach a special kiosk and swipe
the card through an apparatus, much the way it is done at some ATMs.
The computer prompts the traveler to place one hand on a flat plate,
and then it compares that hand with the details recorded on the card
to test the identity of the cardholder.

Next, the name is automatically checked against a federal database
to ensure that the traveler isn't a known drug lord or other
undesirable.  [ED.  NOTE:  i.e., perhaps "politically incorrect" or
someone guilty of a "hate crime."] The traveler keys in the flight
arrival number and receives a printout confirming passage through
immigration.  A gate clicks open ahead, ushering the cardholder
through to customs.

A January '95 article in World Travel Magazine entitled:  "Your Hand
Is Your Passport:  Technology Cuts The Time Spent In Line" wrote:
"The eyes may be the window to the soul, but at a few airports, the
hand is the door to the future...

"The ultimate goal, according to Jake Achterberg, an INS assistant
chief inspector, is to get such a system into major US. ports of
entry for use by all travelers.  Eventually the system would be
compatible with those of other countries.  The cards could hold all
kinds of passport, visa, and other data, and could even be used to
identify passengers boarding planes in the coming age of ticketless
travel."

[ED.  NOTE:  The ultimate goal is to have computerized control of
all people movement -- inside and outside your business, public
office buildings. your city. airports. train stations. crossing
borders. etc.  It will be the high-tech equivalent of "show me your
papers" in the former Communist countries, in Nazi Germany, or in
Red China, Cuba, or North Korea today -- only with instant, accurate
and comprehensive background checks.  Fingerprints, faces, and
retina scans are also being used in the same way.]

The IRS has been closely scrutinizing most Americans for the past
five years by checking their various government data bases against
returns.  As the Los Angeles Times (2/15/98) wrote in an article
entitled:  "On-Line IRS Checks Databases Against Returns".  "If you
have a back tax bill with the Internal Revenue Service, watch out.

"In the midst of a program called "economic reality," the federal
tax agency is going on line, searching for signs of noncompliance as
well as electronic records of cars, credit and real estate it can
seize from delinquent taxpayers.

"A cadre of IRS agents with computers and modems now will be
searching records filed with the Department of Motor Vehicles,
county tax assessors offices, credit-reporting companies and the
US.  Bureau of the Census in an effort to find people who are
underreporting their business sales, overestimating their deductions
or trying to hide assets -- or themselves -- from federal tax
collectors, IRS officials say."

Automatic ID News (Dec. '94) described how the U.S. military, under
directives from President Clinton, developed and tested on 50,000
Cuban and Haitian refugees a Deployable Mass Population
Identification and  Tracking System (DMPITS).  It involves a nonremovable
wrist or
ankle band which can be used to electronically track a refugee,
immigrant or alien.  Similar devices are used on U.S. prisoners on
work release programs or under house arrest or detention.  Hitler
would have found such devices far more efficient than the yellow arm
bands he placed on all his Jewish victims.

In like manner, biochips (in wide use for a decade in pets and farm
animals) are now being experimented with on children, military
personnel and prison inmates.  In another government people-tracking
development, the Orange County Register wrote (10/12/98) in an
article entitled:  "DNA Database Raises Fears of Big Brother" how
the FBI (ostensibly to fight crime) has gone on line with a new
national database of DNA samples of millions of citizens.

It is presently being proposed in England by the government that
such DNA database tracking of people is now to be expanded from just
sex offenders to all British citizens.  As the Orange County
Register wrote: "The US. government could consider connecting the
FBI'S new DNA database with the other national databases now being
set up for new employees, medical patients and drivers license
holders."
