Emergency Provisions For
Year 2000 Presidential Election

This is a story almost too sensitive to be posted. What do you really know about F.E.M.A., Federal Emergency Management Agency?
 
 
Our research and investigation group learned a lot about FEMA as a result of an unpublicized federal lawsuit we brought against them in January, 1991. In fact, it was filed on the same day that President George Herbert Walker Bush ordered the bombing of his former long-time secret business partner in Baghdad, Saddam Hussein. We put together upwards of a thousand pages of the secret background of FEMA. Some of the appendix to the lawsuit was in compressed, reduced form so as to prevent it from being so bulky. Among other things, it pointed out the unconstitutional nature of FEMA. That is, some of the Federal Judges in the U.S. are also secretly officials of FEMA. Wearing two hats like that is on its face, unconstitutional. Various presidents, however, have entered little known dictatorial fiats into the Federal Register, or not recorded at all, mandating that in a so-called "emergency", it is forbidden for federal judges to take jurisdiction of any challenge in court to the fascist-like orders of FEMA, suspending habeas corpus, property ownership, right to travel from place to place, and more.
 
 
We identified one of the U.S. District Judges in Chicago as being a secret official also of FEMA. A crony of his in the court seized upon our lawsuit, and without legal formality ordered our lawsuit "dismissed" and removed from the courthouse. No lawful citation of authority was given. And we had no legal recourse. Of course, we had no opportunity for "open court" hearing or proceedings of any kind. The corrupt bench and bar promote the idea that we as the American people proceed on the law and the facts. In important cases, it is a complete phantasy as I as a court reformer have discovered in more than 40 years of experiences.
 
 
The one good thing that came out of it: we added to our inside sources, even in FEMA, persons who secretly admire our work and assist us with details as best they can. Over the years, I as the head of our group, Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts, have been jailed---not for committing crimes---but for "contempt of court", for absolutely refusing to divulge sources of our data. The fact that the "authorities" hauled me away in my wheelchair, as if I were a violent bank robber, repeatedly outraged the public and after a while each time I was released.
 
 
Key honchos in finance and banking, in international business, and domestic and foreign espionage agencies, have studied the Year 2000 Presidential Election. They have determined that there may be what appears to be an "Emergency" as an outgrowth of the Election. As a consequence they have sent what purport to be "U.S. Government" officials to deal with the situation. These "officials" purport to have authority ABOVE the Presidency, above the Congress, above the Courts, AND ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION. [Do not heckle me with naive protests that such is "unconstitutional", as if I do not already understand that.]
 
 
What they have ordered:
 
 
1. If a question remains as to the "Electoral College" vote, as provided under the U.S. Constitution 12th Amendment, then they have ORDERED under pain of extreme action, that the "Electors" who are to meet after the Election, and cast THEIR ballots for the one THEY as "Electors"believe should be President; that the "Electors" are to instead pick a different person as President. A person not on the ballot, but of private wealth and therefore, supposedly immune from bribery and corrupt deed. The one that would allegedly fit such a description would be U.S. Senator John D. Rockefeller 4th (D., W.Va.), who calls himself "Jay" like he is just one of the common Americans. I for one do not accept that "Jay" is above being "bought" because he already is so rich.
 
 
2. The "oil-soaked monopoly press" is under these same fascist-like orders to hint of an emergency but give no details as if they are oblivious to what is going on. It has been more than three decades since I outraged the press-fakers by beginning to identify FBI and CIA "assets" in key places at local and network media outlets. [My public access weekly Cable TV Program from time to time continues identifying the FBI and CIA "assets" within the monopoly press. As a result, the press if they admit I exist at all, have rotten things to say about our work over 43 years time.]
 
 
3. These sinister super-government operatives have contacted key "Electoral College" Electors. Informing them what they are ORDERED to do---supposedly for the survival of the nation and the central government---upon the failure to carry out "ORDERS", what violence will be inflicted upon them as Electors. Few in the U.S. even know WHO the Electors are.
 
 
4. Quietly inserted into the political party slates of ELECTORS have been stooges, order-takers, especially in the key high-Electoral Vote states. They do not have to be threatened into following ORDERS.
 
 
A foreign aristocracy is NOT the enemy of the American ultra-rich. The ENEMY is the common American, who looks to his guns for the ultimate guarantee of all the other beautiful sounding rights, privileges, and immunities which the central government is forbidden to take away. The year 2000 Presidential Election and what follows, may be the final proof that the American organic law, the U.S. Constitution, is a dead letter after all.
 
 
Self-educated in law, in the 1960s and 1970s, in Illinois I brought and won most every federal case to force the re-apportionment of gerry-mandered election districts. I was called "Mr. One Man, One Vote", a slogan for re-apportionment of districts. For a while, I benefitted minorities in Chicago. As a result of my suit against the City Government, equal population districts were drawn giving blacks and other minorities more representation in the Chicago City Council. When Chicago's first black mayor, Harold Washington, was assassinated right before Thanksgiving, 1987, I was the only journalist and commentator of any kind giving out the details how he was poisoned with a cup of coffee, like done in Italy in the Middle Ages. As the moderator and producer of our Television, cablecast since 1991, I occasionally outrage some naive viewers by pointing that I, as once "Mr.One Man, One Vote", feel we as Americans are beyond voting. That what ails America cannot be rectified by the voting machine now taken over by Votescam secret computers in New York. NONE OF THE ABOVE not being on the ballot, there appears to be no quick cure to revive the beautiful-worded Bill of Rights.
 
 
The alleged Emergency, promoted by sinister FEMA operatives, may later be described as "financial", "caused by terrorists", or such. My cynical friends point out that people like me will be the most well-informed inmates in America's built and waiting concentration camps. We will know exactly how we got there and why. Do you really think FEMA will allow internet to operate as if nothing is happening? The fact is, the e-mail and web-servers do NOT have the capacity to deal with a flood of communications among ordinary people. Like what happened when President Kennedy was blown away by a CIA-Oil Industry plot, the phones in the District of Columbia all went dead. Do you really think if an alleged "emergency" is about to be foisted on us, that we can send one another e-mails like nothing is happening?
 
Stay tuned...if possible.

Hello, Jeff,
 
Skolnick's article tracks my remote viewing almost exactly.
 
 
The Scary Season
 
By Shelley Thomson <sthomson@spinn.net 11-4-00
 
Sherman Skolnick's article on the FEMA involvement in the upcoming election appeared today on www.sightings.com. As a remote viewer I agree with many of his statements.
 
In particular, on the basis of remote viewing I agree that judges have been secretly approached and sworn into FEMA. The same has occurred with selected state officials and law enforcement personnel.
 
I believe, on the basis of remote viewing, that a national emergency has been declared but it has not been publicized. I believe (RV) that this took place in mid-October. It is the logical explanation for the passage of the astonishing legislation to cancel the Fourth Amendment that is the subject of Bob Barr's letter below, and for the passage of legislation to criminalize the disclosure of any classified information (such as the existence of the state of emergency). Nothing prevents the government from classifying anything, including Skolnick's article and this commentary. When this bill is signed into law, the First Amendment effectively ceases to exist.
 
Previous legislative attacks on our inalienable rights required the massacre of the Branch Davidians on prime time and the destruction of the Murrah building. This current legislation is suggestive of panic at the upper levels of government and an effort to keep the cause secret.
 
In previous articles I have reported on discussions at the White House which I observed via remote viewing. I stand by my observation that the Clinton administration is unwilling to leave power, and that Bill Clinton will never hand over the presidency to Al Gore, whom (RV) he hates.
 
If Skolnick is right to suggest that the Electoral College will be compelled to give the presidency to a surprise choice, there is really only one logical candidate: Bill Clinton.
 
For the benefit of readers who are unfamiliar with the Barr letter, I attach it below.

Senate Bill Passes Allowing Lawmen To Issue Warrants Bypassing Courts - Will this be tomorrow's headline?
 
Do you FAVOR warrantless apprehensions of American citizens? Do you FAVOR asset forfeiture laws, when there has been no due process of law? If the answer is not in America, then there may still be time to act on two profoundly wrong pieces of legislation. S. 2516 originally passed the Senate, by unanimous consent (unrecorded voice vote), on July 26, 2000; HR 3048 originally passed the House, by unrecorded voice vote, on June 26, 2000. Both bills have now been combined.
 
Both bills contain provisions that allow for expanded applications and issuance authority of administrative subpoenas issued NOT through the courts, but by the executive branch of the federal government. Currently this power has been limited to the attorney general. By expanding use of administrative subpoenas during its investigations, the US Justice Department circumvents the judicial-review process of the courts, eliminating a vital "check" on the department's exercised power. The future of the Fourth Amendment is very much endangered by this process.
 
The Senate amended the original House version of H.R. 3048, and sent it back to the House after attaching S. 2516, the "Fugitive Apprehension Act," which grants every agency in the Department of Justice (including U. S. Marshals) new authority to issue administrative subpoenas when investigating "fugitive" cases. S. 2516, the Fugitive Apprehension Act, would extend administrative subpoena-issuance authority to the US Marshals Service, for use in pursuing broadly defined "fugitives" at the federal, state, and local levels. (The definition of "fugitive" is expanded by S. 2516 to include not only persons who have been convicted of committing violent felonies and "serious drug offenses, but also persons who've merely been accused, or who are suspected, of committing such crimes.) S. 2516 contains a "delayed notice" provision, which would allow the government to access personal records of "fugitives" without the sought persons' knowledge, and without first obtaining search warrants through the courts. The bill would also authorize federal investigators to obtain court orders that would require third-party custodians of seized records to refrain from speaking to anyone about these investigations. In addition, the custodians would be immune from civil liability for complying with the demands of the government in its investigations.
 
(Note: It has been claimed that "delayed notice" provisions have been removed from the bill, through its amendment by the Senate on October 13. This is disputed in a letter (to follow) by a Representative and organizations lobbying against the bill's passage.)
 
HR 3048 calls for the establishment of a "National Threat Assessment Center" within the Secret Service, for the purposes of (1) "training" federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the areas of "threat assessment," "prevention of targeted violence," and "facilitation of information sharing"; (2) establishing programs for the "standardization" of investigative techniques among the various levels of law enforcement; and (3) "any other activities the [Treasury] Secretary determines are necessary to implement a comprehensive threat assessment capability."
 
These bills, if enacted will allow egregious destruction of our 4th amendment rights. The following are excerpts from letters which speak unequivocally to the dangers this legislation will pose to a free society:
 
" Insofar as we already passed HR 3048 out of the House, these bills will come to us next in the form of a conference report for which we will have to cast a vote.
 
Representative Bill McCollum, Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, recently sent out a "Dear Colleague" regarding S. 2516, stating that the bill was revised so as to significantly address privacy concerns. I disagree.
 
H.R. 3048 is a drastic expansion of government power and will seriously erode the privacy rights of Americans. Administrative subpoenas are an awesome vehicle for government to compel disclosure of information. Under this authority, a law enforcement officer can sign his name on a piece of paper requiring individuals or businesses to turn over private information to the government, without establishing probable cause or making any other showing that a crime has occurred, and without ever consulting a judge. What they fail to highlight is these subpoenas can be obtained for information pertaining to a person who has only "allegedly" committed a crime. Additionally, the information obtained by the use of these subpoenas is not only the "fugitive's" personal records or information. These subpoenas can be used to procure information and records pertaining to an innocent third party, simply because the government believes it may be relevant information for an investigation of the other person.
 
I cannot over-emphasize the severity of the expansion of these administrative subpoenas. As a former United States Attorney, I do not have any cases to cite in which a serious or violent felon "got away" because the Department of Justice or any other federal agency did not have administrative subpoena authority. Please help me ensure our civil liberties are protected by opposing S. 2516 and HR 3048" ....
