The Federal Emergency Management Agency Back to Tribal Messenger
Once invoked by the president, emergency powers are directed by the National Security Council and administered, where appropriate, under the general umbrella of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Here is a partial list of executive orders that authorize the president to do the following at his discretion:
Executive Orders: About Executive Orders - Presidential Decision Directives,
Presidential Proclamations, Presidential Declarations and Treaties are
considered executive orders when they are instituted by the President without
the authority or approval of Congress. Unfortunately many of these orders are
secretive and some have been withheld and even removed from the federal
register. Others are only published in part. For example, in the case of
Clinton's PDD # 25, even members of the Congress and Senate have been denied
access to it's complete text. This is the order that places the U.S. Military
under United Nations authority. These orders place unprecedented authority at the president's disposal, that he can enforce during a national crises. He can declare a national crises or emergency for any reason he deems necessary, whether the American people or congress like it or not. These orders give the president the powers of an absolute dictator and the right to practice
total tyranny over the population of this nation. He would have complete control
of the armed services to enforce these E.O.'s. With Bush declaring that we are in a national state of emergency for an indefinite period of time, this would make him themost powerful human being in the history of the world. William J. Olson, specializes in constitutional issues, is co-author of "Executive Orders and National Emergencies: Presidential Power Grab Nearly Unchecked" says, "Once a national emergency is declared, presidents use executive orders to exercise emergency powers." Bush has declared that we are living in a National State of Emergency indefinitely. We see the exercising of some of the orders with new ones being made at an alarming rate. These include:
These executive orders collaberate with the new US PATRIOT ACT including the broadening of the definition of terroism to include political dissent. These abominations of the core principles of our great nation must be a signal that we the people can no longer afford to be apolitical. GET ACTIVE, be aware, see what's going on and coming down.
A national emergency exists by reason of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, and the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, I hereby declare that the national emergency has existed since September 11, 2001, and, pursuant to the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), I intend to utilize the following statutes: sections 123, 123a, 527, 2201(c), 12006, and 12302 of title 10, United States Code, and sections 331, 359, and 367 of title 14, United States Code.
This proclamation immediately shall be published in the Federal Register or disseminated through the Emergency Federal Register, and transmitted to the Congress.
