Readings on Martial Law, Resistance Movements, and Citizens in a Revolution

 

Medical Support for Resistance Movements (https://dgrnewsservice.org/resistance/direct-action/medical-support-for-resistance-movements/)

Street medics, or action medics, are volunteers with varying degrees of medical training who attend protests and demonstrations to provide medical care such as first aid. Unlike regular emergency medical technicians, who serve with more established institutions, street medics usually operate in a less formal manner. Street medic organizations also run low-income herbal health clinics, wellness clinics for migrant workers, and temporary family practice clinics to support people who are organizing for self-defense or advocating for their rights. A group of street medics founded the first health clinic to open in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

 

Medical Martial Law Coming to Your State? Here’s What You Need to Know (https://www.truthforhealth.org/2022/09/medical-martial-law-coming-to-your-state-heres-what-you-need-to-know/)

This regulatory framework has already passed into law in Florida, Alaska, and Washington state (https://doh.wa.gov/public-health-healthcare-providers/emergency-preparedness/isolation-and-quarantine), which have all adopted the “Turning Point” model legislation. The language is designed to sound innocuous. In reality, however, this legislation creates quarantine detention with no escape and no due process. The sinister intent is to usurp citizens’ rights and implement total control of who gets detained for “quarantine,” where they are kept and under what conditions, and for how long.

The quarantine law would be carried out by police and sheriffs, enforcing these Machiavellian provisions:

1. No proof of contagious disease was required – simply being suspected of having a contagious disease was all that would be needed.

2. All physicians in New York would be required to report suspected cases of contagious diseases to the authorities for people to be taken from their homes into a state-specified and controlled quarantine camp.

3. The state would control all quarantine conditions: where, how long, what contact would be allowed (imagine no cell phone, no internet, no contact with family, etc.), and the duration. No time limit was given.

Militarized federal agents and military anti-terrorism officers have been terrorizing the city, threatening lives, and relentlessly attacking people exercising their First Amendment right to protest police brutality. Federal and local law enforcement have fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and more indiscriminately into crowds, and have been brutally attacking journalists, legal observers, and medics.

Nobody can predict what the next few months or years will be like, but if the last few months are any sort of guide, you should be ready to take actions to keep your family safe.
