Bush prepares for dictatorship–Where’s the OUTRAGE???
First of all, I realize this item is actually over a year old, but that very fact, and the lack of alarm in our media (whom we trust to keep us informed) highlights even more the true extent of our corrupt Administration’s power grab, and the complicity of major media in allowing such an obscene power grab to fly under the radar.
What has me all riled up you say? Bush’s changes to the “Continuity Plan” which transfers “formal authority away from the Department of Homeland Security to the White House.” The Washington Post did run an article on this issue but chose to put it on PAGE 12, apparently thinking it wasn’t serious enough to warrant front page status.
Under an executive order dating to the Reagan administration, responsibility for coordinating, implementing and exercising such plans was originally charged to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and later DHS, the Congressional Research Service noted in a 2005 report on a pending DHS reorganization.
The new directive gives the job of coordinating policy to the president’s assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism — Frances Fragos Townsend, who will assume the title of national continuity coordinator — in consultation with Bush’s national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, with the support of the White House’s Homeland Security Council staff. Townsend is to produce an implementation plan within 90 days. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will continue to coordinate operations and activities, the directive said.
Bush gives himself total power and authority, using the events of September 11 to declare a National Emergency, and setting the stage for the implementation of Martial Law, and a complete breakdown of Democracy. The actual directive can be found here.
Since then, Bush has enacted 8 more directives, the most recent found here.
World Net Daily’s Jerome Corsi has been vocally alarmed for quite some time and was interviewed on C-SPAN regarding this issue:
He rightly brings up the lack of interest by major media, and as we inch closer to November, with its possible transfer of power back to the Democrats, I would not be at all surprised, given the economic wobble, if we dont see Bush preempt the Democratic process by retaining power due to a declaration of a National Emergency.
Its ALL Blarney!! 
Quote: “This comes on the heels: this was done on May 9, it was signed on April, 30th. President Bush – again without congressional approval – signed an agreement with the European Union in which he created a transatlantic economic council, a new cabinet level office. Again, no congressional approval of the office being created with the idea to economically integrate us with the European Union. And it was co-signed […]”
What else happened on April 30th, 2007?
“The Congress, by Public Law 85-529, as amended, has designated May 1 of each year as “Loyalty Day”. This Loyalty Day, and throughout the year, I ask all Americans to join me in reaffirming our allegiance to our Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 2007, as Loyalty Day. I call upon the people of the United States to participate in this national observance and to display the flag of the United States on Loyalty Day as a symbol of pride in our Nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
GEORGE W. BUSH”

“The issue isn’t Europe vs. the United States. That’s idiotic.
If you do the research you’ll see that the US is controlled from the UK.
The centralization of power – both in Europe and the US – is being forced by the same fascistic elite, hiding in the City of London, Vatican City and the District of Columbia.”
