Martial Law is "the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated region(s) on an emergency basis—and often, but not necessarily, only temporarily—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively." Yet, what defines an emergency? And could a government declare martial law against its citizens without real justification? Yup they can and I most definitely believe they will.

"They Live" by John Carpenter, was released in 1988. At that time, America's economic status was rough. The movie is hilariously cheesy, but the point was profound. The point of the movie is quite obvious, but I want you to take somethings into consideration. Are movies created to tell us something? or are they just for entertainment? Funny enough, we are going through the same issues as the characters of the movie and if some of us are not there yet, we will soon be. Enjoy the movie and use your head. Can and will it happen to us? Will martial law be declared? And what are we gonna do about it?
