While I don't want to seem like the tin foil type, I have to wonder.
The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, which was put in place on May 9 2007, apparently allows the president to take over the Federal Government. (h/t to e pluribus unum) http://www.rubyan.com/...
Now I'm terrified.
If Chertof's "gut" is right, then the next 18 months of this criminal administration may be worse than we could ever think possible.
Here is the Directive:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/...
"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions"
"The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. In order to advise and assist the President in that function, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. The National Continuity Coordinator, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), without exercising directive authority, shall coordinate the development and implementation of continuity policy for executive departments and agencies. The Continuity Policy Coordination Committee (CPCC), chaired by a Senior Director from the Homeland Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator, shall be the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination."
If another attack occurs and the Federal Government comes under this Administration, how could we ever get it back? end the war? or anything else?
I think we MUST write our reps and senators immediately so they can correct this abominable possibility.
Why was this just instituted on May 9th of this year, when the cries for an end to this war were beginning to become unstoppable?
I don't trust this government to ever do the right thing.
Am I just being paranoid?
I'm really terrified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
