If a shocking Army memorandum saying that Fort Carson soldiers will be training for martial law finds its way in your email inbox or on your social media page, don’t panic: it isn’t real.

A snapshot photo of a supposed memorandum titled “Preparation for Martial Law” has been making its rounds on the internet after it was uploaded by Facebook used Diane Holthaus last Friday.

The document stated that “As of 5 August 2016, 2322 the Bill for the Executive Order Enacting Martial Law has been put into effect. Fort Carson will start training and preparation on 5 September 2016 at 0900.”

We don't have enough troops on American soil to effectively implement martial law.

They just recycle these "Marshall Law" emails for every election.

It gets to the point where I seem to see this type of story almost weekly. Also, where I'm at, we see a lot of those 'UN vehicles' and military movement stories and photos posted constantly (UN vehicles are made right outside Dallas and we do see a lot of rail cars with military equipment going through because they are going to Red River Army Depot for reconditioning.  Even though everyone around here knows this, they still freak out every time they see it.

And a cat. I heard a rumor that cat runs everything.

That's actually incorrect. That's how the website started way back in 1995 on a Usnet forum (similar to how FR started). Now, they have a full staff of writers and researchers and even have a public forum that allows anyone to go in and submit corrections or discuss topics.

(also, most don't know this but the founder and still main guy, David Mikkelson, was a registered Republican up until 2000 and then became a registered independent).

The military has been preparing for Martial law since 1950 if not earlier

It is a common scenario in training I think; prepare for the worst events just in case
