Government - May 2007

My second cousin's husband, Klaus Steinhorst, was killed by a drunk driver in 2004. The toxicology report revealed that that driver was under the influence of both alcohol and Xanax at the time and yet the report wasn't allowed as evdience because the driver (surprise surprise) didn't consent to have his blood drawn. Here is a link to the latest article about the crash

The Brazilian GDP is very small; there is no electricity in many places. Other important city is Buenos Aires, with indigenous population. There are no industries. The country is a dictatorship regime since 1987, when Fernan Cortéz was elected president. The official language is Spanish. About 91% of the population is homeless. Almost all Brazilians are Indigenous, but there is a small group of Spanish population that dominates the power. To survive, many women are prostitutes and about 89% of children need to work and don’t have classes.

This is a little research to understand what foreigners think about Brazil (I would like to know if it’s true what the Brazilian media says). Please, if you answered this question, take a look in Wikipedia to see the information.

Blows me away pardon the pun.

It's difficult for me to understand people not wantng the freedoms that we enjoy in the States. Please help me understand. The "cradle of civilization" seems very uncivilized right now. OK, We are the invaders, why is there no help to get out.

When you research you find many things questionable and scary like this courtesy of the Freedom of Information Act -

SUBJECT: Executive Orders

APPLICABLE EXECUTIVE ORDERS

The following Executive Orders, now recorded in the Federal Register and therefore accepted by Congress as the law of the land , can be put into effect at any time an emergency is declared:

10995--All communications media seized by the Federal Government.

10997 - Seizure of all electrical power, fuels, including gasoline and minerals.

10998 -Seizure of all food resources, farms and farm equipment.

10999 -Seizure of all kinds of transportation, including your personal car, and control of all highways and seaports.

11000 - Seizure of all civilians for work under Federal supervision.

11001 - Federal takeover of all health, education and welfare.

11002 - Postmaster General empowered to register every man, woman and child in the U.S.A.

11003 - Seizure of all aircraft and airports by the Federal Government.

11004 - Housing and Finance authority may shift population from one locality to another. Complete integration.

11005 - Seizure of railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities.

11051 - The Director of the Office of Emergency Planning authorized to put Executive Orders into effect in "times of increased international tension or financial crisis". He is also to perform such additional functions as the President may direct.

Stated simply : the dictatorial power of the Executive rests primarily on three basis : Executive Order 11490 , Executive Order 11647 and the Planning , Programming , Budgeting System which is operated through the Office of Management and Budget .

E. O. 11490 is a compilation of some 23 previous Executive Orders , signed by Nixon on Oct. 28, 1969 and outlining emergency functions which are to be performed by some 28 Executive Departments and Agencies whenever the President of the United States declares a national emergency { as in defiance of an impeachment edict, for example } . Under the terms of E. O. 11490 , the President can declare that a national emergency exists and the Executive Branch can :

Take over all communications media

Seize all sources of power

Take charge of all food resources

Control all highways and seaports

Seize all railroads, inland waterways, airports, storage facilities

Commandeer all civilians to work under federal supervision

Control all activities relating to health, education, and welfare

Shift any segment of the population from one locality to another ,Take over farms, ranches, timberized properties

Regulate the amount of your own money you may withdraw from your bank or savings and loan institution

All of these and many more items are listed in 32 pages incorporating nearly 200,000 words providing an absolute bureaucratic dictatorship whenever the President gives the word.

Executive Order 11647 provides the regional and local mechanisms and manpower for carrying out the provisions of E. O. 11490 . Signed by Richard Nixon on Feb. 10, 1972, this Order sets up Ten Federal Regional Councils to govern Ten Federal Regions made up of the fifty still existing States of the Union .

I would hate to think that our democracy is really failing, is it really? I mean with so many things going on around us, from the war to healthcare and even the world's opinion of the U.S, could it really be that the once "greatest democracy" is in for a downfall of sorts?

President George W. Bush has sparked much alarm by openly declaring himself to be a dictator in the event of a national emergency under new provisions that will effectively nullify the U.S. constitution.

New legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a "catastrophic event", the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power.

The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, which also places the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic "security", was signed earlier this month without the approval or oversight of Congress - of course- and seemingly supercedes the National Emergency Act which allows the president to declare a national emergency, martial law and put US citizens in FEMA concentration camps or secretly execute them.
