Democratic Congressman: Representatives Were Threatened With Martial Law In America Over Bailout Bill..

Warns that a panic atmosphere was intentionally nurtured to get bill passed..

Steve Watson.. over on Infowars. net.. (Friday, Oct 3, 2008) has written an article about what happened behind the scenes for the recent US congress vote on the Wall Street bailout. It seems an atmosphere of panic was created with threats of Martial Law if it was not passed.

Here the opening section of the report:
A Democratic Congressman has warned that a panic atmosphere is being intentionally created in order to get the financial bailout billed passed, further stating that several members of Congress were told before Monday's vote that martial law will be instigated in America if the legislation fails..

Congressman Brad Sherman of California's 27th congressional district told the House in a speech yesterday evening that he personally knew of several Congressional representatives who have said they were threatened with the prospect of all out martial law should they vote in opposition to the $700 billion bailout..

Further on he elaborates:

Sherman essentially intimated that powerful forces who want the bill passed have attempted to blackmail elected representatives..

"The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a panic atmosphere. That atmosphere is not justified." Sherman stated..

"Many of us were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on Monday that the sky would fall, the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day, another couple of thousand the second day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no." The Congressman continued..
