TACMAR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TACMAR (for Tactical Marking) refers to a conspiracy theory postulating that there are military "code-signs" on the backs of US and international road signs. Believers in this conspiracy theory argue that these markers are used by agents of the New World Order. The stickers are proposed to be used in the case that a blackout bomb is detonated above the United States, thereby disabling all GPS and modern communication satellites.
Believers maintain that the positioning of the stickers, as well as the number of stickers, is a coding system designed to indicate directions to various areas which would be used during martial law. For instance, the coding on the stickers may be used to point to a drugstore with passport photo services. Under martial law, this facility could be used for medical care, inoculation/vaccination, and creation of ID cards.
TACMARs are believed to be used to encode the following information:
- Directions to closest military installations
- Directions to closest triage or quarantine facilities
- Facilities with Internet access, for the following purposes:
- Communications
- Identification and/or background search of individuals
- Directions to closest detention facilities
TACMAR conspiracy theorists point to the numerous military-oriented mandates in the construction of the US Interstate System as supporting evidence of the legitimacy of their claims: for instance, it may be argued that the civil defense purposes of the interstates are no less believable than TACMARs.
Non-believers argue that these markers are merely stickers used to date the signs, with many signs needing half a dozen or more date stickers.
