Bush the Dictatorship??

Reprinted in part from Global Research, May 21, 2007


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 directive 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.

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.
The directive itself recognizes that each branch is already responsible for directing their 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”.

PEOPLE.......WAKE UP PLEASE!!!! This man has run multiple businesses into the ground and now it's our economy!! Look around you....has ANYTHING gotten better in the last 8 years.....do you feel safer? Doesn't anyone remember that he was taking a MONTH long vacation shortly (after 3 months) into his first term....when all the media was talking about his lack of performance and his inability to speak. Remember all the "Bushisms"?? Enough to write a book about!!!
In his business life before we (I hate to even say that) elected him....(Or Kathryn Harris did) whenever he ran a business into the ground....his Saudi friends would invest more money in him.....does that mean when our economy tanks completely they are going to come bail us out?? Our sovereignty is being eroded by things like the "North American Union" which basically makes Mexico, the US and Canada one economy which will be based on the "Amero" and the US dollar will be removed from circulation....OH...you didn't know that??? What a shock! What else don't you know?? Start looking around and asking questions.....remember when you were young...the mantra of the counter culture then was "question authority" And "just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they are not watching". Now if you question authority you may get dragged from your home and imprisioned or worse.

IS THIS STILL AMERICA????

Gracias para sus comentarios. Sí escribo en otros blogs, algún romántico y algún político. Creo en el amor y romance y querría salir un mundo repleto del amor a mis niños y nietos su 's también. Nosotros nunca debemos olvidarnos que esa libertad es nunca libre. ....and nosotros SIEMPRE debemos preguntar la autoridad.

No preguntas comienza a escribir respuestas.Para ti y para tus lectores.No culpes a nadie de lo que te pasa.primero tenemos que comenzar por nuestra propia casa.

Bilingue,
First thanks for your comment. Since you are bilingual please speak in english since this is my first language and it is easier to communicate in this fashion with me.

Second, what you are misinterpreting (or I am mistranslating) for sadness is anger. I believe every American should be outraged at what is happening to our constitution. If you read my blog throughly you would have seen that in some cases I DO have an answer.....and in some I don't.

I'm not sure about your reference to look in my own house first.

We the people have got to stand up and say (I quote from the movie Network) I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.

We have issues here in the US that need to be addressed....poverty, illitericy, people loosing thier houses....yet we spend a billion dollars a day on a war against a ghost.
