Bush To Be Dictator If Catastrophic Emergency

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 document would in effect make the President a dictator in the case
of such an emergency.
The directive defines a “Catastrophic Emergency” as the following.
"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;
So what does this mean? This
is entirely subjective and doesn’t provide any real concrete definition
of what such an emergency would entail. Assuming that it means a
disaster on the scale of the 9/11 attacks or Katrina, there is no
question that the United States at some point in time will experience
an emergency on par with either of those events. When one of those
events takes place, the President will be a dictator in charge of
ensuring a working constitutional government.
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.
The directive defines Enduring Constitutional Government as the following.
"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;
Further on in the document it states the following.
The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government.
This directive on its face is
unconstitutional because each branch of government the executive,
legislative and judicial are supposed to be equal in power. 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.
Even worse is the fact that
the directive states that the Secretary of Homeland Security will serve
as the lead for coordinating overall continuity operations. We already
know that the Homeland Security department is not really working to
secure the homeland. Instead the Homeland Security department is really
working to enslave the homeland just like the Home Office over in the
United Kingdom has made that country an Orwellian hell of
closed-circuit TV spy cameras. If such an emergency is declared, we can
only guess what sort of surprises the Homeland Enslavement department
will have for us.
The directive itself
recognizes that each branch is already responsible for directing there
own continuity of government procedures. If that’s the case than why
does the President need to coordinate these procedures for all of the
branches? This is nothing more than a power grab that centralizes power
and will make the President a dictator in the case of a so called
“Catastrophic Emergency”.
It is insane that this
directive claims that its purpose is to define procedures to protect a
working constitutional government when the very language in the
document destroys what a working constitutional government is supposed
to be. A working constitutional government contains a separation of
powers between three equally powerful branches and this directive
states that the executive branch has the power to coordinate the
activities of the other branches. This directive is a clear violation
of constitutional separation of powers and there should be angry
protests from our legislators about this anti-American garbage that has
come from the President.
