The inglorious history of martial law, from Radio Far Side at radiofarside.com:
And why does he keep making laws?
You know it’s close to Merkin presidential selection time when folks start talking about “martial law”. We need to pay close attention to it, because Merkins created martial law. And no, I’m not kidding.
The Great Dictator Abraham Lincoln, who slaughtered 600,000 humans, destroyed an entire society along with its economy, and initiated one of the darkest periods in Merkin history, know as Reconstruction, is the same fellow who gave the world Martial Law, also known as a military junta.
Oh, I know some folks split hairs on martial law and military junta, but when you’re in the middle of it, there’s not a jot nor tittle’s worth of difference.
Lincoln’s destruction of the Confederacy was so utterly complete that there was no functioning social order. Everything down to the town council and registrar was destroyed. Basic needs like food and water had vanished. The entire economy was in shambles. And folks wonder why John Wilkes Booth took revenge.
Anyway, Lincoln waved his dictatorial wand and put his lackey Francis Lieber, a pro-slavery skunk who endorsed “scortched earth” tactics and summary executions, to work making some rules on how to treat the scum that dared to extract themselves from the federal overlords. The result was General Order No. 100.
A Marshall plan for the former republic? (/s)
This plan has no aid and burning it all down is the goal, not recovery.
Ruling over the ashes is ever so progressive.

Comrade Ape Lincoln was the original imperial executive who never let a crisis go to waste.
