Following the [[Rex 84]] and [[Operation Garden Plot]] plans, this military coup would involve the suspension of the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]], the imposition of [[martial law]], and the appointment of [[military dictatorship|military commanders to head state and local governments]] and to detain [[dissident]]s.<ref name="Levitas 2004">{{cite book|author=Levitas, Daniel|title=The Terrorist Next Door: The Militia Movement and the Radical Right|publisher=St. Martin's Griffin|year= 2004|isbn=0-312-32041-8|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/terroristnextdoo00dani}}</ref> These conspiracy theorists, who are all strong believers in a [[right to keep and bear arms]], are extremely fearful that the passing of any [[gun control]] legislation will be later followed by the abolition of personal gun ownership and a campaign of gun confiscation, and that the [[refugee camp]]s of emergency management agencies such as [[Federal Emergency Management Agency|FEMA]] will be used for the [[internment]] of suspected [[subversives]], making little effort to distinguish true threats to the New World Order from pacifist dissidents.<ref name="Anti-Defamation League"/> Before 2000, some [[survivalist]]s wrongly believed this process would be set in motion by the predicted [[Y2K problem]] causing [[societal collapse]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1998/09/98/conspiracy_-_radio_5_live/185161.stm|title=Death to the New World Order|access-date=24 June 2006|author=BBC News Special Report |date=5 October 1998}}</ref> Since many left-wing and right-wing conspiracy theorists believe that the [[9/11 conspiracy theories|11 September attacks were a false flag operation]] carried out by the [[United States intelligence community]], as part of a [[strategy of tension]] to justify [[political repression]] at home and [[preemptive war]] abroad, they have become convinced that a more catastrophic [[terrorist incident]] will be responsible for triggering [[Executive Directive 51]] in order to complete the transition to a [[police state]].<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.slate.com/id/2176185/pagenum/all/#p2|title=Who Will Rule Us After the Next 9/11?|access-date=4 April 2009|author=Ron Rosenbaum|journal=Slate |date=19 October 2007}}</ref> Skeptics argue that unfounded fears about an imminent or eventual gun ban, military coup, internment, or U.N. invasion and occupation are rooted in the [[siege mentality]] of the American militia movement but also an [[apocalypticism|apocalyptic]] [[millenarianism]] which provides a basic narrative within the political right in the U.S., claiming that the idealized society (i.e., constitutional republic, [[Jeffersonian democracy]], "[[Christian nation]]", "[[white nationalism|white nation]]") is thwarted by subversive conspiracies of [[liberalism in the United States|liberal]] [[secular humanism|secular humanists]] who want "[[Big Government]]" and globalists who plot on behalf of the New World Order.<ref name="Berlet 1999"/> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
