President Issued Directive Siezing AllPower In Emergency

Yes this is very scary, slowly but surely he is taking away peoples rights, Bush once said himself the constitution is just a stupid piece of paper and another quote from Bush, it would be a hell of a lot easier if this was a dictatorship as long as I am the dictator.

Yep, it's called the National Emergencies Act. It was enacted in 2002. It's not as scinister as good ol' Jerome and Michael make it out to be though. Yes, it does give a lot of authority to the president, but it doesn't leave Congress out in the cold. Here is a link to the act itself. As you can read, there is ample opportunity for Congress to terminate it if they choose... Plus, it comes up for mandatory review every six months through the duration of the declared emergency. I don't agree with the act itself. All counties and states (and many cities) have Emergency Management offices. Also, there are many private Emergency Response organizations and companies. Emergency Management is best done at the local level. The only thing FEMA or any other federal level agency should do is be ready to coordinate national and international assets if the Governor requests them... and then ONLY what is requested. I like Coast to Coast AM, but as George Noory and Art Bell say themselves, many of their topics and guests need to be taken with a grain of salt. http://www.marad.dot.gov/publications/complaw03/National%20Emergency%20Act.htm

News Flash: It is a constitutional power that is given to the president. Maybe you have heard of it, it is called Martial Law you can find it in the US Constitution. I don't have to go to a radio show to find that out. I learned that in 5th grade. Every president not just Bush has this power. If you have a problem with it you can fight to get the constitution changed, but our founding fathers put that in for a reason. Maybe they are going to house the illegal aliens in those houses. Or since you heard it on coast to coast with art belle it might be the martians.

i am not an american but, i hope that you will welcome my view on this. if the president is somebody you can fully trust to do good and make the right decisions at all critical moments, this must not be such a cause for concern. in fact, this should have a calming effect on the citizenry. if you can recall, generalissisimo franco had to seize spain and run it with an iron hand to get the country back into its trail of being a world power to reckon with. he was successful in so doing. spain is so lucky to have a leader like him come forward in the days most needed. let us pray that president bush is also such a leader.

World wise...Fantastic report!!! I was unaware of any of this information , and I thought I was pretty much " On top " of my Political Game . Here's a head Scratcher....wasn't he also in Charge When Hurricane Katrina Hit ??? Exactly what does this measure help... anyone??? I mean....after all ...he was President when that happened. As for Haliburton....My God....that's just freightning.

I happen to be in on this and know how it works first the problem would A kill congress B make it impossible to communicate with them. Only then could he control the country however basic rights are still in act so freedom of speech and others are not affected like they say. In the end once a new congress is in working condtion and the goverment is somewhat stable he losses all that power wich isnt realy that much. mainly he can then declare war,launch nukes and set up holding camps ( I think thats a good Idea!)
