Bush Pens Dictatorship Directive, Few Notice

by Kurt Nimmo



Global Research, May 30, 2007
Another Day in the Empire


It is hardly surprising not a single corporate newspaper reported the death of the Constitution. Go to Google News and type in "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" and hit enter. Google returns ten paltry results, not one from the New York Times, the Washington Post, or related corporate media source. Google Trends rates the story as "mild," that is to say it warrants nary a blip on the news radar screen. Of course, another death blow to the Constitution, already long on life support, is hardly news. Few understand we now live in a dictatorship, or maybe it should be called a decidership.

"The Bush administration has released a directive called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive. The directive released on May 9th, 2007 has gone almost unnoticed by the mainstream and alternative media. This is understandable considering the huge Ron Paul and immigration news but this story is equally as huge. In this directive, Bush declares that in the event of a 'Catastrophic Emergency' the President will be entrusted with leading the activities to ensure constitutional government. The language in this directive would in effect make the President a dictator in the case of such an emergency," writes Lee Rogers for Global Research. "The language written in the directive is disturbing because it doesn't say that the President will work with the other branches of government equally to ensure a constitutional government is protected. It says clearly that there will be a cooperative effort among the three branches that will be coordinated by the President. If the President is coordinating these efforts it effectively puts him in charge of every branch. The language in the directive is entirely Orwellian in nature making it seem that it is a cooperative effort between all three branches but than it says that the President is in charge of the cooperative effort."

In short, Bush may now declare himself absolute ruler at any moment and Congress can like it or lump it. Naturally, this act of betrayal is of so little importance and consequence, the corporate media believes you are better served knowing Justin Timberlake is in love.

"This directive on its face is unconstitutional because each branch of government the executive, legislative and judicial are supposed to be equal in power," Lee continues. "By putting the President in charge of coordinating such an effort to ensure constitutional government over all three branches is effectively making the President a dictator allowing him to tell all branches of government what to do."

Answer 1

Ive been wondering if anyone was going to bring this up today. I posted a similar question a couple of weeks ago and told I was a crazy person. I guess all the nay-Sayers who think that something like this could never happen will HAVE to take their heads out of the sand, because all Bush needs now is a hurricane, earthquake, or even the smallest emergency (that he could create himself if need be) to take over as dictator.

Answer 2

Kurt Nimmo and anyone else who believes this is a “Dictatorship Directive” is seriously in need of more brain cells. My advice: put down the bong.

This is nothing more than a consolidation of various emergency directives which have existed in the US since the Constitution was ratified. It is necessary for any government to have a contingency plan for the continuation of Constitutional governance in the even of an emergency. Would you prefer it if the US had no plans and just winged-it?

I note with interest that some of you lot still choose to fault the Federal government for the Katrina response. Why? Because you say thy had no plan. While you are wrong, it seems that this is what you are asking of the Federal government. Have no plan.

Answer 3

Most of us didn't know, because the freely-controlled mainstream news media aren't about to give further clues that we are but slaves to the banks, insurance companies, oil companies, etc.
All we need now, is a malevolent dictator (as opposed to a benevolent dictator), to make life worse.
The plan, for many years, is to destroy the sovereignty of the people and make the federal Government the master of the several States and the people--that plan is pretty much fulfilled.

Answer 4

Abuse of Presidential powers should be the call.

There should be an uproar from American citizens not only because of this unConsitutional Act but because of the dismal track record of this person giving himself full control.

That is the worst news and only portends a bleak and unDemocratic future. The Founding Fathers would be revolted at this scheme.

Answer 5

Our founding fathers were more insightful than many realize. They protected our right to keep and bear arms to allow us to defend our freedom if our government ever got out of control. GWB exercising the order you described would be one of those types of events.Personally, I've stocked up on ammo and all the firearms are cleaned and oiled; standing in opposition to Dictator Bubblehead would be an honor.

Answer 6

Spin it how ya like Hoss.............but its blatantly obvious that Bush and his cabal are taking advice from lawyers who are giving the whitehouse BS advice. And the amazing thing is, that there are no equally smart lawyers forcing them to pull their heads in. If Bush can say the constitutions only a god damned piece of paper, (and he already has said it) then turn around and put all his faith in his own peice of paper, whats to stop Americans from telling him , his directive is just a god damned piece of paper??? huh?

Answer 7

Is this more Ron Paul BS again?
