*President Bush* Has anyone heard of the Presidential Directive 51?

Question

It was amended in May of this year to allow the president of the US in the case of a declared National emergency (presidential call) including but not limited to Katrina like event, terrorism, etc. that all executive levels of the US will be ran by him and his apointees Congress gets to take a hike, literally. He can even call off a presidential election. I am just learning about this and dont want to jump to a ton of conclusions, however, with Bush itching for some sort of national emergency and with the civil unrest that will emerge when the North American Union comes to fruition, wouldnt it make sense he would place himself as dictator of america if he has carte blanche to do so? What are your thoughts? Any more info about this directive?

SDW: So, I had to wiki your answer lol and eerily enough, George could easily have been born on Naboo.

SDW: You soo need a new avatar!!

Chloe: that is hilarious!!!

Oneeye, great details; thanks for posting links too. Are you speaking about the Rex 84 program (internment camps for civil unrest)? Or is this for something else? I know about the camps, but thought they were all above ground.

I have known of this since June, it is disturbing, here are some more disturbing material:

Here is the white house link for those of you who don't know what Lucid is talking about:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html


here are a list of executive orders that supposedly empower FEMA.



* Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies. The bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.

* Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.

* Executive Order 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

* Executive Order 10995 allows Seizure of all communications media in the United States.

* Executive Order 10997 allows Seizure of all electric power fuels and minerals, public and private.

* Executive Order 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

* Executive Order 10999 allows Seizure of all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control of highways, seaports and waterways.

* Executive Order 11000 allows Seizure of all American people for work forces under federal supervision including the splitting of families if the government finds it necessary.

* Executive Order 11001 allows seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, public and private.

* Executive Order 11002 empowered the postmaster general to register all men, women and children in the U.S.

* Executive Order 11003 allows seizure of all airports and aircraft.

* Executive Order 11004 allows seizure of all housing and finance authorities to establish Forced Relocation Designated areas to be abandoned as "unsafe."

* Executive Order 11005 allows seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, public and private.

* Executive Order 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

* Executive Order 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months.

* Executive Order 12919 Signed June 3, 1994, by President Clinton. Encompasses all the above executive orders.

These E.O. I just listed from some Alex Jones site I have not personally looked at yet, so I cannot tell you if they are as so, take a look if you have the time for it.

Oh, and hard as it may to be to believe, FEMA does have underground facilities.

EDIT: they are for emergencies like if an asteroid hit earth. On my last link it goes to the youtube video of the documentary on it.

Answer 2

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

Answer 3

It only address the Executive Branch. The only reference to Congress is in the line "(e) "Enduring Constitutional Government," or "ECG," means a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, coordinated by the President, as a matter of comity with respect to the legislative and judicial branches and with proper respect for the constitutional separation of powers among the branches, to preserve the constitutional framework under which the Nation is governed and the capability of all three branches of government to execute constitutional responsibilities and provide for orderly succession, appropriate transition of leadership, and interoperability and support of the National Essential Functions during a catastrophic emergency;"

Kind of hard to get cooperation from someone you told to take a hike.

Answer 4

i am thoroughly frightened.. gotta get off the electrical grid while we can and out of the pocket of "neogovernmental christian capitalist bureaucracy". time is running out too. what we really need to do is flip this whole society on its head! Free energy is what we need! can you imagine what the world would be like with free limitless safe clean wireless electricity? its very possble and has been for over a hundred years, but the govenrment and the economic powers havent wanted you to know about it for a long time. Look up Tesla's patent on wireless transmission of power if youre into it, and see what we missed out a century ago. its still possible and its gotta happen soon! must fight the greed monster.....

Answer 5

GOOD FACE!
How ya doing?

Yup heard of that. I have long thought that this man may cross the rubicon so to speak he has been quietly setting us up to suspend our democracy. Putting his cronies into key positions and laying the political groundwork for a coup against the public. However, I do not think he could get away with it at this point as he has little support left from even the military. Never the less... it freaks me out.

Answer 6

Yeah. I've been waiting for him to pull this rabbit out of his hat at the last minute. He may be the last dictator, I mean president. I've been expecting him to call off the election due to some contrived emergency. 9-11, move over, you may have company coming.

Answer 7

Bush is a cog in the system. He will be replaced by someone just like him from the other party, answerable to the same people (Hint: NOT voters). Elections are a lie...there's no reason for Bush to want to extend his presidency...he has already ruined his legacy and can only make things worse for himself.

Answer 8

wonder if he'll bring the dark robes back, or maybe a cape.
Isn't that similar to what Hitler did in the beginning?
if congress burns down then I'll start to worry.

Answer 9

I wonder when the government will finally fall apart. Because it will.

Answer 10

Even tho I support Bush, this one bothers me too.
I Cr 13;8a
