Is the "October surprise" martial law to be declared in November?

i knew that there had been a bill pending that effectively gutted the posse comitatus act, but, until today, i didn't know it had already been passed... under this, the president (and, sadly, that's STILL george w. bush), can...

- involuntarily take National Guard troops from State A and
- require them to work in State B for up to a year,
- in law enforcement rather than just traditional areas like disaster relief,
- over the objection of both state's governors

even a discussion of martial law being declared gives me the creeps... i've confessed to my paranoia several times during the past week... this ain't helping much...
