- We are all still threatened by what Bush and Cheney did.
All of us.
-
- Obama, though he promised and pledged to do otherwise,
has left a series of Bush and Cheney orders in place and in full power
and effect. Obama has not gotten rid of: extended detention, torture,
Guantanamo or Blackwater. Obama has moved to take control over the
internet, pushed a food safety bill that conceals martial law, and promoted
a highly-suspect pandemic now linked to the military.

- President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement,
on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of
the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.
-
- The "National Security and Homeland Security
Presidential Directive,"with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a
National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland
Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of
president a new National Continuity Coordinator.
-
- That job, as the document describes, is to make plans
for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local,
territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations
to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of
a national emergency.
-
- The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency"
as "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."
-
- When the president determines a catastrophic emergency
has occurred, the president can take over all government functions and
direct all private sector activities to ensure we will emerge from the
emergency with an "enduring constitutional government."
-
- Translated into layman's terms, when the president determines
a national emergency has occurred, the president can declare to the office
of the presidency powers usually assumed by dictators to direct any and
all government and business activities until the emergency is declared
over.
-
- [There is not definition or mechanism for ending an emergency.]
-
- Ironically, the directive sees no contradiction in the
assumption of dictatorial powers by the president with the goal of maintaining
constitutional continuity through an emergency.
-
- The directive specifies that the assistant to the president
for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism will be designated as the National
Continuity Coordinator.
-
- Further established is a Continuity Policy Coordination
Committee, chaired by a senior director from the Homeland
Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator,
to be "the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination."
-
- Currently, the assistant to the president for Homeland
Security and Counterterrorism is Frances Fragos Townsend.
-
- Townsend spent 13 years at the Justice Department before
moving to the U.S. Coast Guard where she served as assistant commandant
for intelligence.
-
- She is a White House staff member in the executive office
of the president who also chairs the Homeland Security Council, which as
a counterpart to the National Security Council reports directly to the
president.
-
- The directive issued May 9 makes no attempt to reconcile
the powers created there for the National Continuity Coordinator with the
National Emergency Act. As specified by U.S. Code Title 50, Chapter 34,
Subchapter II, Section 1621, the National Emergency Act allows that the
president may declare a national emergency but requires that such
proclamation "shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and
published in the Federal Register."
-
- A Congressional Research Service study notes that
under the National Emergency Act, the president "may seize property,
organize and control the means of production, seizecommodities, assign
military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation
and communication, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict
travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United States citizens."
-
- The CRS study notes that the National Emergency Act sets
up congress as a balance empowered to "modify, rescind, or render
dormant such delegated emergency authority," if Congress believes
the president has acted inappropriately.
-
- NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 appears to supersede the National Emergency
Act by creating the new position of National Continuity Coordinator without
any specific act of Congress authorizing the position.
-
- NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 also makes no reference whatsoever to
Congress. The language of the May 9 directive appears to negate any a requirement
that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency
exists, suggesting instead that the powers of the executive order can be
implemented without any congressional approval or oversight.
-
- Homeland Security spokesperson Russ Knocke affirmed that
the Homeland Security Department will be implementing the requirements
of NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 under Townsend's direction.
-
- The White House had no comment.
