THE SECRET GOVERNMENT
THAT NO ONE WANTS YOU
TO KNOW ABOUT
By: Bob Momenteller
This secret government organization has more power than the President of
the United States or the Congress, it has the power to suspend laws, move
entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold
them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation
systems, and can suspend the Constitution.
It it not only the most powerful entity in the United States, it was
created without regard to Constitution Law under Congress. This
Governmental agency was created by Executive Order. It is not part of the
CIA or the Military. This Governmental agency was first created by
President Richard Nixon and has been refined since by Carter, Regan and
Bush. The organization is called FEMA, short for Federal Emergency
Management Agency. Most people who are familiar with this agency, often
relate it to weather storms, hurricanes and the like. While this serves as
a primary function of this agency, far more power has been licensed to this
entity than meets the eye.
The original intent of FEMA was to assure the survivability of the
United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation.
The powers of FEMA continued to grow under people like Lt. Col. Oliver
North and General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal
and the looting of America's savings and loan institutions. FEMA has even
been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered
neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the
Guard is called to duty overseas.
Few of the mass populace even know that this agency exists. A close
inspection of your home mortgage papers however, will reveal it's existence
if you live in a flood plain. Where ever disaster strikes, FEMA has
probably had a hand in it. . They were deeply involved in the Los Angeles
riots and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Many of those black helicopter reports are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA
has been given new responsibilities that include urban forest fires, home
heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and
emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents.
FEMA was created with a series of Executive Orders. These orders became law
whether or not they are Constitutional. They become law by simple
publication in the Federal Registry. The key Executive Order Number 12148
created the agency that would interface with the Department of Defense. To
date, FEMA has only spent 6% of it's budget on national emergencies. The
bulk of
their funding has been spent on
secret underground facilities
and internment camps. An
Executive Order signed by
President Bush in 1989
authorized the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to
build 43 primary camps having a
capacity of 35,000 to 45,000
prisoners each and also
authorized hundreds of
secondary facilities. 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. Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA
that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Below, we list some of the Executive Orders that could be enacted by the
stroke of a Presidential pen:
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to
take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to
seize and control the communication media. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows
the government to
take over all electrical power,gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to
take over all food resources and farms.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to
mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001: allows the government to
take over all health, education and welfare functions.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002: designates the Postmaster
General to operate a national registration of all persons.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003: allows the government to
take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004: allows the Housing and
Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public
funds, designate areas to be abandoned,
and establish new locations for populations. * EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005:
allows the government to
take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
* 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 11310: grants authority to the
Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to
institute industrial support, to establish
judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal
and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049: assigns emergency
preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21
operative Executive Orders issued over a
fifteen year period.
* 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: "National Defense
Industrial Resources Preparedness" signed by President Clinton on June 3,
1994, delegates authorities, responsibilities and allocations of FEMA's
Executive Orders for the confiscation of ALL PROPERTY from the American
people, and their re-location and assignment to 'labor' camps. The
Executive Order also supersedes or revokes eleven (11) previous Executive
Orders [from 1939 through 1991] and amends Executive Order 10789 and 11790.
FEMA's enormous powers can be triggered easily. In any form of domestic or
foreign problem, perceived and not always actual, emergency powers can be
enacted. The President of the United States now has broader powers to
declare martial law, which activates FEMA's extraordinary powers. Martial
law can be declared during time of increased tension overseas, economic
problems within the United States, such as a depression, civil unrest, such
as demonstrations or scenes like the Los Angeles riots, and in a drug
crisis. These Presidential powers have increased with successive Crime
Bills, particularly the 1991 and 1993 Crime Bills, which increase the power
to suspend the rights guaranteed under the Constitution and to seize
property of those suspected of being drug dealers, to individuals who
participate in a public protest or demonstration. Under emergency plans
already in
existence, the power exists to suspend the Constitution and turn over the
reigns of government to FEMA and appointing military commanders to run
state and local governments. FEMA then would have the right to order the
detention of anyone whom there
is reasonable ground to believe...will engage in, or probably conspire with
others to engage in acts of espionage or sabotage. The plan also authorized
the establishment of concentration camps for detaining the accused, but no
trial.
Over the last 14 years , FEMA's readiness has been tried three times. In
1984, President Regan signed a directive that allowed FEMA to engage in a
secret national "readiness exercise" under the code name of REX 84. REX 84
was so highly guarded that special metal security doors were placed on the
fifth floor of the FEMA building in Washington, D.C. Even long-standing
employees of the Civil Defense of the Federal Executive Department
possessing the highest possible security clearances were not being allowed
through the newly installed metal security doors. Only personnel wearing a
special red Christian cross or crucifix lapel pin were allowed into the
premises. The plan called for the suspension of the Constitution, turning
control of the government over to FEMA, appointment of military commanders
to run state and local governments and the declaration of Martial Law.
For the second time in 1990, FEMA was readied again during the Gulf War.
Just prior to Bush's invasion of Iraq, newly drafted legislation would give
FEMA the power to set up operations in any locality without permission. The
agency was put on full alert in anticipation of the economic collapse of
the Western World.
The third scenario for FEMA came with the Los Angeles riots after the
Rodney King brutality verdict. Had the rioting spread to other cities, FEMA
would have been empowered to step in. As it was, major rioting only
occurred in the Los Angeles area, thus preventing a pretext for a FEMA
response.
Any crisis that would trigger the use of FEMA appears to be in the area of
civil unrest. Indeed, President Nixon changed the direction of these
emergency powers during the Vietnam era. Prompted by mass war protests,
Nixon considered domestic upheaval of greater importance. Diana Raynolds,
program director of the Edward R. Murrow Center, summed up the dangers of
FEMA today and the
public reaction to Martial Law in a drug crisis: "It was James Madison's
worst nightmare that a righteous faction would someday be strong enough to
sweep away the Constitutional restraints designed by the framers to prevent
the tyranny of centralized power, excessive privilege, an arbitrary
governmental authority over the individual. These restraints, the balancing
and checking of powers among branches and layers of government, and the
civil
guarantees, would be the first casualties in a drug-induced national
security state with Reagan's Civil Emergency Preparedness unleashed.
Nevertheless, there would be those who would welcome NSC (National Security
Council) into the drug fray, believing that increasing state police powers
to emergency levels is the only way left to fight American's enemy within.
In the short run, a national security state would probably be a relief to
those whose personal security and quality of life has been diminished by
drugs or drug related crime. And, as the general public watches the
progression of institutional chaos and social decay, they too may be
willing to pay the ultimate price, one drug free America for 200 years of
democracy."
The next event that may trigger FEMA for real may come at midnight on
December 31, 1999. If the Y2K glitch turns out to be fact and not fiction,
FEMA may suspend the Constitution and invoke martial law. A proposition
that should scare the hell out of all of us.
